 I'm not reviewing that document here, but it refers to drift-flux only twice, pages 167 and 168 of 280.

 The void fraction as a function of position in the core was obtained using the drift-flux
relationship [Ref. 15]:

and 

The churn-turbulent drift-flux correlation was used to assess equation (A.157) for both APEX and AP1000. 

However, as I scan the document, I see no consideration of the impact of boric acid on the drift-flux considerations For example
