Ernie,

I read through the NRC trip report. I agree with Tim's comments. The only other comments I have is in the list of attendees. Ed Blandford was present both days but must have been out of the room when the attendee list was passed around. Please add him (Name: Edward Blandford, Affiliation: UNM, Contact: edb@unm.edu<mailto:edb@unm.edu>).

On the second day (in the lab) but not on the first day, our students were additional attendees and should probably be listed (unless you think it would be better not to list them):

Name: Affiliation: Contact:
Kyle Hammond UNM (student) khammondnm@gmail.com<mailto:khammondnm@gmail.com>
Lana Mitchell UNM (student) lana.mitchell11@gmail.com<mailto:lana.mitchell11@gmail.com>
Cody Williams UNM (student) cdub72@unm.edu<mailto:cdub72@unm.edu>
Kody Garcia UNM (student) kodyagarcia@gmail.com<mailto:kodyagarcia@gmail.com>

I will start working on how we might address each bullet point.

Regards,

Kerry

Ernie,

I finished my review this afternoon (it took 1 hour to complete). Here are my comments:



· Enclosure 1, Page 3, second to last bullet: The two statements regarding the "flow rates" should be edited to say "velocities". "The CFD showed relatively low flow rates velocities past the coupons…The staff stated that STP should perform a comparison and if there are differences in the flow rates velocities that STP should evaluate…" This is an important distinction since we're clearly not going to have several thousand gpm in our test tank, but we could potentially achieve velocities that are roughly equivalent to the pool velocities.

· Enclosure 1, Page 4, first bullet: The NRC stated that the amount of fiber for the medium break test was based on the fiber associated with a small MBLOCA. This should be changed to "small LBLOCA". Also, the last sentence in this paragraph states that the fiber amount was based on the average mass of fiber produced by several 15 inch breaks. This should be changed to "…fiber amount based on the fiber associated with a 15 inch break". It might be good for Bruce to verify the break sizes that we told them since we were speaking off of memory during the meeting.

· Enclosure 1, Page 4, third bullet: I would suggest changing the statement that Tests T3 and T4 were "non-representative" to say that Tests T3 and T4 were "non-prototypical". Non-representative isn't really the right term since the tests were representative of something (i.e., the set of conditions that we were testing). They just weren't representative of the prototypical plant conditions.



Please feel free to edit my comments as appropriate before passing them on to the NRC.



Thanks,

Tim

Luke 7:28 Jesus said, “I tell you—among those born of a woman, no-one is greater than John; yet the least in the Kingdom of God is greater than he.”

Nobody really knows exactly what Jesus meant here, but most people think he was acknowledging John the Baptist as the last and greatest of the Hebrew prophets. He was also trying to look into the future, into a whole new era in which everyone would be a prophet in some way, everyone would be walking with God in the way John had. We aren’t there yet, but we see glimpses of that Kingdom and we long to live there. Maranatha—Come Lord Jesus.

Colossians 2:12 When you were buried with him in Baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God.

Those of us who baptize in just a little water lose sight of the possibility of drowning during our baptism! In a river or an ocean we might be more mindful of going down with Christ into the darkness of death and coming back out into the light with him. The early Christians never forgot that as they were being born again the old self was dying, right there in the water.

Wisdom 5:5 Why have they been numbered among the children of God? And why is their lot among the saints?

These are the incredulous questions that the unrighteous will be asking after the resurrection, when they see the righteous poor there with God. The ones that everybody else looked down are among the saints!! Wisdom says, all will be revealed sooner or later!

Psalm 45:6 Your throne, O God, endures for ever and ever.

Up until now, the psalmist has been talking to King David—describing his palaces and princesses and power. Then right in the middle he addresses God, the one who never dies and will reign forever. Even with all the trappings of royalty King David is a man, here for a short while only. Not so the living God.

Luke 6:5 Then Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is Lord of the sabbath.”

Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath—the day of rest for all believers. When the religious authorities took offence, Jesus tried to model for them the priorities of his Father in heaven. Always, the priority is to heal, to serve, to love. He is the Lord of every day—the day of work and the day of rest and the day of worship.

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on God, because he cares for you.

The apostle Peter is writing here to all believers, not just a select few from one church or one town. He understands what we sometimes forget—that God cares for each and every child of his vast creation. Why should we spend valuable time and energy worrying, when the creator and redeemer of the universe knows our situation, and cares about it? And about us.
