Issue Description

Current behavior
Some calculations in previous reports do not line up with the expected costs, such as the wrong variables, the wrong value unit convergent, the wrong account number, etc.

For Issue Closure

This review should occur when the issue is going to be closed.

• 1. Is the defect fixed?
• 2. If not fixed, does it contain explanation?
• 3. If closed without a pull request, has an explanation been provided?

A function for the `Costing relation law for nuclear steam turbine' should have such form:

$$C_{turbine,eqp}= \frac{362.62}{n}$$

Interior structures	Quantity		labor hours	Labor cost	Material cost	Unit labor cost	Unit material costs	Units
Reactor cavity liner plate	11000	SF	33,000	762,300	621,291	64.73	52.76	$/m2

This line should be removed from the table, since the cost is duplicated in Table 17

Others	Quantity		labor hours	Labor cost	Material cost	Unit labor cost	Unit material costs
Reactor cavity liner plate	11000	SF	33,000	762,300	621,291	745.94	607.96	$/m2

Item in Table 15 is normalized by Internal surface

$$2*V_{Internal}/t_{Intern, wall} = 11,775.80039m^2$$

item in Table 17 is normalized by Reactor cavity area:

$$11000ft^2 (1021.93344m^2)$$

It is suggested to keep the item in Table 17.

Should be

$$C_{226,7}=127.2 million\cdot (\frac{MW_{th}}{2287})^{0.80}$$

The scaled base should be 2287 MW rejected thermal power not thermal power 3431 MW.

The COA is wrong for some accounts, the correct ones are:

Reactor Primary Vessel

3.6.5 Installation Cost (221.12)

Steam Generators
3.8.1 Factory Equipment Cost (220A.223)
3.8.2 Installation Cost (222.13)
