CONCLUSION
In accordance with a DSI memorandum,907 the staff has determined that the 1979 ANSI/ANS Standard 5.1920 is technically acceptable and has allowed the use of this data to justify relaxation of non-required conservatisms in current ECCS evaluation models.908 In addition, the proposed ECCS rule change being developed by the staff will allow the use of this new data. Thus, this issue is a resolved Regulatory Impact issue.
