Q

What is the level offset between the Downcomer and actual Vessel level inside the Core Shroud? What causes this phenomenon?

A

The level offset between the Downcomer and the Core Shroud is approximately 5 inches at 100% power. This occurs due to the higher pressure inside the Core Shroud caused by the two phase boiling resistance to flow.
