A separate histogram for the base case is included in the attached file. The vast majority of base 

case units are selected between 0.980 and 0.981.

Hello Katie: 

 

 Thanks for clarifying... In that case is is possible to see the historogram of designs picked for 

base case for DL7? ie: Spread between 98.0 & 98.7? Thanks. 

 

Best Regards, 

 

Mahesh

You're right - the bin limits were chosen to clarify what happens at EL1 and above. 

The bin value represents the upper limit of the bin. The histogram just tells you that in the base 

case almost all the units have efficiencies below 0.987. These units are actually at efficiency 

equal to 0.9800.

Katie, what am I missing on the DL7 spreadsheet? the EL scale on column A starts at 98.7 where in 

reality EL0 is currently 98.0, the 98.7 number represent a level somewhere between EL3 and EL4 on the 

latest LCC charts of Nov 28th LBNL presentation sent by Mr Parker.

Subject: LVDT LCC results

 

Dear LVDT Committee Members, 

We were asked to provide a summary of the efficiencies for the units being selected in the LCC 

for design lines 7 and 8. In the attached spreadsheet you'll find a histogram of the number of 

units selected at each EL by efficiency. 

Please let me know if you have any questions, 

regards 

Katie Coughlin
