Title:

Manual Computation of Grid Point PMP Depths Preparer SNH Checker JTS 1.0 Purpose The purpose of this calculation is to manually compute Probable Maximum Precipitation (PMP) data sets for comparison use in subsequent calculations.

In the previous PMP development for evaluation of the Probable Maximum Flood (PMF) at TVA nuclear sites, rainfall depths were generated based on Hydrometeorological Report (HMR) 41 (Reference 2.1) or HMR-47 (Reference 2.2). These methodologies have not been updated since publication. This calculation uses an alternate approach to evaluate PMP depths based on current methodologies by applying an updated storm database and a new approach (Reference 2.3) to compute PMP depths for defined grid points across the Tennessee Valley. The NRC documented their approval of this new approach (Topical Report TVA-NPG-AWA16-A) in Reference 2.6.

In the Topical Report, precipitation depths at grid points across the Tennessee Valley are generated by the PMP Evaluation tool software included with that report. This software was excluded from the NRC review and approval of the Topical Report. To document the acceptability of the PMP Evaluation tool software, TVA performed a Software Dedication Report. The NRC review of the Software Dedication Report (SDR) generated draft Requests for Additional Information (RAIs) in regard to the method used in the SDR to perform an alternate calculation check of the PMP Evaluation tool results. To provide the NRC additional assurance of the acceptability of the PMP Evaluation tool, this calculation performs independent 10 CFR 50 Appendix B safety related manual calculations to produce the digital point precipitation data using only the NRC approved SPAS data as inputs, and the NRC approved equations and methods for storm maximization and transportability from the Topical Report. The manual calculations herein were based on the written documentation in Reference 2.3 and DO NOT directly translate the Python scripts utilized in the PMP Evaluation tool nor employ any portion of the PMP Evaluation tool that was not evaluated and thus excluded by the NRC in Reference 2.7. The manual computations follow the equations and written documentation published in Reference 2.3 to compute PMP depths for defined grid points across the Tennessee Valley.

5.0 Special Requirements / Limiting Conditions - None 6.0 Computation Basis 6.1 Data provided in the NRC approved Reference 2.3 ArcGIS dataset includes data for a uniform grid across the Tennessee Valley watershed at a resolution of 0.025 x 0.025 decimal degrees (dd), or 90 arc-seconds resulting in 17,938 grid points across the Tennessee Valley. The provided data include output from the Storm Precipitation Analysis System (SPAS) which uses gridded storm analysis techniques to provide both spatial and temporal analyses for extreme rainfall storm events. The NRC approved Reference 2.3 provides three storm types (31 General, 8 Tropical and 19 Local) for a total of 58 SPAS data sets. The SPAS data sets include Depth-Area-Duration (DAD) data for each event as well as grid point Total Adjustment Factors (TAFs) and an event transpositionability flag for each event at each grid point.

Additional grid point data (i.e. elevations, In Place Maximization Factor (IPMF), Moisture Transposition Factor (MTF), Orographic Transposition Factor (OTF), etc.) were not directly used in these manual computations.

6.2 Data extraction from the ArcGIS dataset was checked in Appendix A using QGIS as an alternate software. Nine of the fifty-eight files (three of each SPAS event type for General, Tropical and Local) were extracted with both ArcGIS and QGIS software and results were compared in the included Excel files. Excel files were manually reviewed for proper comparison operation. Differences noted between individual values from the ArcGIS and QGIS output for DAD data or TAF values were less than 5x10-12 inches and were considered negligible. Therefore, input SPAS data were extracted for all 58 SPAS events representing the three storm event types using ArcGIS and the resulting *.dbf files are included in Appendix B.

When extracted from the data base, DAD data are arranged to represent the paired area-rainfall depth data in a tabular format with the areas (in square miles) in the leftmost column, and the rainfall depths (in inches) for each duration at the corresponding area to the right with a header that identifies the corresponding duration (in hours). A partial example of the data format is shown in the following Table 6.3 from General Event - SPAS1208_1 (Appendix B-2, General, SPAS_1208_1.dbf).

96- and 120-hours should be selected for the General and Tropical event types and durations of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hours should be selected for the Local event type.

The number of columns in the SPAS event data sets are consistent across all SPAS events but can vary in the number of rows (i.e. areas). As discussed in Appendix D of Reference 2.3, the unknown rainfall depth for the desired watershed area size is computed from the SPAS DAD data set using linear interpolation where the desired watershed area is a value between those listed in the DAD data set. Interpolated grid point rainfall depth values are computed only within the SPAS data set limits. For paired SPAS DAD data set values (i.e. area and rainfall depth for a selected duration) ordered as shown in Table 6.3, variables are defined as follows:

Variable Definition Variable Definition A1 Area from DAD table d1 Duration depth from DAD table A2 User input watershed area d2 Unknown rainfall depth A3 Area from DAD table d3 Duration depth from DAD table For a system of paired DAD data where the user input A2 value is between A1 and A3, the following relationship representing linear slope between points must be true:

d3 d1 d 2 d1

-=-

A3 A1 A2 A1 For the manual calculations, this relationship was rearranged to solve for the unknown rainfall depth as follows:

Manual Computation of Grid Point PMP Depths I I Preparer Checker SNH JTS Example calculation using data from General Event - SPAS 1208_1 (Appendix B-2, General, SPAS_1208_1.dbf) for 1-hour duration and a 7,500-square-mile watershed:

Each SPAS data set contains unique data for each specific SPAS event at each grid point in the Tennessee Valley. As discussed in Reference 2.3, the provided SPAS event databases include object identifier, counter, SPAS event identifier, longitude, latitude, transposition zone, elevation, IPMF, MTF, OTF, TAF and transpositionability flag for each grid point for that specific SPAS event. Development of the IPMF, the MTF, the OTF, the TAF and the transpositionability flag are described in Section 5 of Reference 2.3. The DAD dataset, the final SPAS event TAF and the transpositionability flag for each grid point contained in the Reference 2.3 SPAS event database files are the only data used directly in the manual calculations. The transpositionability flag value is binary (i.e. value is either one or zero) as discussed in Reference 2.3. The rainfall depths are multiplied by the grid point TAF and the transpositionability flag to compute the final durational depth at that grid point for that SPAS event. Computations are as follows:

d SPAS = TAF x TRANS x d where:

dSPAS = rainfall depth for the respective SPAS event at a given grid point for a given duration TAF = total adjustment factor (from ArcGIS data base)

TRANS = transpositionability flag (from ArcGIS data base, binary - either 1 or 0) d = durational rainfall depth from DAD for input watershed area QA-DE-01-F07, Rev 1

Manual Computation of Grid Point PMP Depths Preparer SNH Checker JTS Example calculation using data from SPAS 1208_1 for a selected unique longitude -86.525, latitude 34.125 (Appendix B-2, General, SPAS_1208_1.dbf), with the 1-hour duration and a 7,500-square-mile watershed rainfall depth calculated in Section 6.3:

d SPAS -- 1.289706x 1 x 1.185 -- 1.528302 Note that in the example calculations shown, the numbers are truncated for clarity. In the spreadsheets performing the manual computations, the numbers used are not modified (i.e.

not rounded or truncated) and are carried at the allowed precision of Excel into the final results data sets.

6.5 After the above computations for each SPAS event at each unique grid point are complete, these intermediate results are filtered using the Excel MAX function. The maximum value of all the calculated SPAS event rainfall depths at each unique grid point is selected as the final PMP depth result for the respective duration for the user input watershed area.

7.0 Manual Computations Due to the extensive data set, Excel spreadsheets were used as a calculator to efficiently perform the manual computations and are included in Appendix C-1. One Excel file is required for each storm type and input watershed area. Each file is set up with multiple tabs, varying dependent on the number of SPAS events applicable to the storm type. Tabs are used for data inputs, computations, and final outputs.

Title:

Manual Computation of Grid Point PMP Depths Preparer SNH Checker JTS 7.5 Manual computation of grid point data was performed for varying watershed areas. These areas are typical of TVA project watershed areas and include areas down to 1-square-mile.

As discussed in Reference 2.3, Local event types are applicable only to areas less than 500-square-miles. As a result, no Local event areas above that limit were included in the calculations. The larger General and Tropical type events have the potential to include the entire model watershed. As discussed in Reference 2.4, the model is configured to include the Tennessee River main stem stopping downstream at the Wilson project. Areas listed in Reference 2.5 show total watershed areas above the Wilson and Kentucky projects of 30,750- and 40,200-square-miles, respectively. Therefore, an upper watershed limit of 40,000-square-miles was judged appropriate. The selected areas applied were 1-, 10-, 127-,

150- and 500-square mile areas for the Local type events and 1-, 10-, 127-, 150-m, 500-,

747-, 1000-, 7500-, 10000-, 20000- and 40000-square mile areas for the General and Tropical type events. The calculations for each selected area reside in separate Excel files included in Appendix C-1.

8.0 Results and Conclusions 8.1 The Excel files containing calculations and final grid point PMP depth results data for the five Local, eleven General and eleven Tropical selected areas are included in Appendix C. For reviewer convenience as an example, all sheets in the 7,500 square mile Tropical storm type event file were plotted to an Acrobat (*.pdf) file included as Appendix C-2.

8.2 Results data in the Appendix C files are produced using the calculations described in Reference 2.3 and are appropriate for use in subsequent calculations. Final grid point PMP depths in the Appendix C-1 Excel files are calculated in the last tab of the file, Final Manual Data. For reviewer convenience, all final grid point PMP depths for the five Local, eleven General and eleven Tropical areas were plotted to an Acrobat (*.pdf) file included as Appendix C-3.

Title:

Appendix A - DAD and SAF Grid Point Data GIS Preparer SNH Export Evaluation Checker JTS 1.0 Purpose The purpose of this appendix is to document the extraction of the Storm Precipitation Analysis System (SPAS)

Depth-Area-Duration (DAD) and grid point Storm Adjustment Factors (SAF) data from Appendix H of the NRC approved Reference 2.3 source ArcGIS file geodatabase. Because the extraction of data from the source file geodatabase was performed in ArcGIS which is not NQA dedicated software, the extraction was also performed with an alternate method that utilized Quantum GIS (QGIS). The primary objective of this Appendix is to validate accurate extraction of data via ArcGIS by comparison with data extraction using QGIS. Extracted data were compared using Excel spreadsheets as a calculator. Spreadsheets were manually reviewed to ensure proper data comparison.

2.0 References The references in Section 2.0 of the parent calculation are applicable to this Appendix.

3.0 Assumptions The assumptions in Section 3.0 of the parent calculation are applicable to this Appendix.

4.0 Design Input Data Sec. Input Parameter Source Location Value/Description SPAS event DAD and grid point SPAS DAD and Grid Point Appendix H of data (developed in Reference 4.1 Reference 2.3 Data Reference 2.3 2.3 and included in the source ArcGIS file geodatabases) 5.0 Special Requirements/Limiting Conditions - None 6.0 Computations and Analysis 6.1 Data provided in Appendix H of Reference 2.3 includes two ArcGIS file geodatabases containing the DAD data for each of the 58 SPAS data sets and grid point storm adjustment factors for each SPAS event at each grid point. In order to perform manual computations within Microsoft Excel to determine PMP depths for defined grid points across the Tennessee Valley utilizing the data contained in Appendix H of Reference 2.3, extraction from the ArcGIS file geodatabases to a database file (*.dbf) is required.

Following export to a database file the input data included in the source ArcGIS file geodatabases can be opened and utilized within Microsoft Excel for the manual computations of PMP depths.

6.1.1 Within the PMP_Evaluation_Tool folder in Appendix H of Reference 2.3 the file geodatabase, DAD_Tables.gdb, nine tables were exported to a database file (*.dbf) via the ArcGIS software.

Three SPAS DAD tables within the geodatabase were exported for each of the three storm types by ArcGIS. The SPAS events selected to provide a representative sample for this analysis are detailed in Table 6.1 below. In ArcGIS the attribute table for each SPAS event was opened and the export data option selected. All records in the attribute table were exported as a *.dbf file and are included as Appendix A-1.

Title:

Appendix A - DAD and SAF Grid Point Data GIS Preparer SNH Export Evaluation Checker JTS The ArcGIS file geodatabase, Storm_Adj_Factors.gdb, within the PMP_Evaluation_Tool folder contained in Appendix H of Reference 2.3 contains the storm adjustment factors for each grid point across the Tennessee Valley. The same nine SPAS events detailed in Table 6.1 below were selected for export from the ArcGIS file geodatabase. In a similar process as the DAD table extraction, the nine grid point data files were opened within ArcGIS followed by opening of the attribute table and exporting as a *.dbf file. The exported database files are included as Appendix A-2.

Table 6.1 - DAD and Storm Adjustment Factor SPAS Event Exports Evaluated General Storm Type Tropical Storm Type Local Storm Type SPAS Event ID SPAS Event ID SPAS Event ID 1048_1 1182_1 1034_1 1208_1 1276_1 1210_1 1430_1 1317_1 1426_1 6.1.2 The process detailed in Section 6.1.1 above was performed again but in QGIS. Similar to ArcGIS the nine SPAS event DAD and SAF data sets were opened from their respective ArcGIS file geodatabase within QGIS. The individual data sets were selected within the Layers pane in QGIS and with a right mouse click the Save As option was selected. The DBF file output format from the Save As dialog was selected and the database files were saved and included as Appendices A-3 and A-4 for the DAD table and SAF datasets, respectively.

6.2 Following import into Excel by opening the exported .dbf files, a separate tab was created for each *.dbf file exported from ArcGIS and QGIS from the DAD_Tables.gdb geodatabase labeled as SPAS_****_*_DAD_##### where **** represents the SPAS event ID (e.g. 1430_1) and ##### represents ArcGIS or QGIS as corresponding to which software was used to export from the geodatabase. A new tab was created for each SPAS event labeled as SPAS_****_DAD_CHECK where **** represents the SPAS event ID in which the column headers were checked to match. The DAD data values extracted from QGIS were subtracted from the ArcGIS values to calculate the difference in DAD table values. A summary tab details the differences among all SPAS event DAD extractions analyzed. Tabs are used for data inputs, computations and final comparison summary. The following sections detail the sample calculations performed in Appendix A-5 to analyze differences in exported DAD data via ArcGIS and QGIS.

6.2.1 The first set of tabs in the spreadsheet are used for input of the *.dbf files as exported from the respective software. The tab setup is shown in Table 6.2.1. Note that ****_* represents the SPAS event ID and ##### represents the software utilized to export the DAD data.

Appendix A - DAD and SAF Grid Point Data GIS Preparer SNH Export Evaluation Checker JTS 7.0 Summary of Results The export of DAD and SAF datasets for each of the nine SPAS events analyzed have been checked by parallel processing on the Quantum GIS platform. DAD PMP depths for all durations included within the SPAS DAD dataset differed by less than 10-14 inches. The total storm adjustment factors, transposability flag and feature counts at each of the 17,938 grid points in the Tennessee Valley watershed differed by less than 5x10-12 at any individual grid point. The DAD and SAF data sets exported by ArcGIS are suitable for use in the parent and subsequent calculations.

8.0 Conclusions Export of DAD and SAF datasets from ArcGIS file geodatabases performed in ArcGIS have been checked by Quantum GIS and any differences are insignificant. Calculations performed in the development of final PMP depths at each grid point are suitable for use in subsequent calculations and the parent calculation.
