DNBR Limit Calculation by Sampling Statistical Method

The parametric uncertainties of DNBR and exit quality were calculated using sampling statistical method based on Wilks formula and VIPRE-W code. Then the DNBR design limit and exit quality limit were got by combining with the uncertainties of models and DNB correlation. This method can gain the more DNBR margin than RTDP methodology which is developed by Westinghouse by comparison of these two methods.
