Christmas Light
’Twas the night before Christmas when all through the house
No electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged by the chimney with care
With the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Unal’s subcooled flow boiling bubble model is being used in the best-estimate light water reactor code RELAP5/MOD3. There is a significant discontinuity (by a factor of 2) in the condensation heat transfer coefficient from this model at 1 MPa, which can cause numerical problems in the code. The correlation has been modified (with the approval of Unal) to remove the discontinuity at 1 MPa and to replace it with a form that is continuous to three significant places at 1.1272 MPa.
