DSAR CHAPTER INTRODUCTION AND

SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

In 1984 PG&E submitted the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 (referred to as either HBPP, Unit 3, or the Humboldt Bay nuclear facility) SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan (SOP) in support of the application to amend the HBPP Operating License to a Possession-Only License. As a result of the 1996 NRC decommissioning rule, the SOP was considered to be a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) because it contained information related to decommissioning activities . It was also considered to be a Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) because it contained information such as plant description, site characterization and accident analysis. In compliance with the 1996 NRC decommissioning rule, PG&E submitted a PSDAR in February 1998 to provide a general overview of proposed decommissioning activities. As a result, the SOP will focus on providing the type of information contained in an FSAR and will contain less information related to decommissioning activities. Thus, the SOP has been more appropriately renamed the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) .

In addition to the DSAR and PSDAR, PG&E has submitted other documents to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50 that constitute the licensing basis for H BPP. These other documents include: (1) License Amendments, (2) revised Technical Specifications, (3)

CR License Termination Plan. 11 -02 This DSAR reflects the changes made following Humboldt Bay's(HB's) decision to decommission Unit 3 in June 1983, as well as License Condition 2.8.1 that allow Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) "... to take actions necessary to decommission and decontaminate this facility." PG&E will update the DSAR in accordance with the methodology specified in 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.71 (e), submitting updates at least every two years. Revisions to the DSAR are numbered, starting with Revision 1.

The purpose of the DSAR is to provide a Safety Analysis Report that provides assurance that based on the decommissioning activities and the administrative controls and programs in place during decommissioning, no undue risk to the public health and safety will occur during normal operation and postulated accident conditions.

The following provides a history of major plant operation and licensing-related actions :

1. Unit 3 achieved initial criticality on February 16, 1963, and began commercial operation in August 1963.
2. On July 2, 1976, Unit 3 was shut down for annual refueling and to conduct seismic modifications. Seismic and geologic studies were in progress.

3 In December 1980 it became apparent that the cost of completing required backfits might have made it uneconomical to restart the unit. Work was suspended at that time awaiting further guidance regarding backfitting requirements.

1-1 REVISION 11

4 In 1983, updated economic analyses indicated that restarting Unit 3 would probably not be economical, and in June 1983 PG&E announced its intention to decommission the unit.

5 On December 11, 2008, PG&E completed the transfer of spent fuel from the spent fuel pool into the ISFSI.

1.2 SITE CHARACTERISTICS The Humboldt Bay nuclear facility is located about four miles true southwest of the city of Eureka, Humboldt County, California, and consists of 142.9 acres of land.

Since there are no design basis accidents that could approach 10 CFR 100 limits, no Safety Features are necessary to keep public exposures below the 10 CFR 100 dose limits under worst case postulated accident conditions.

1.3 QUALITY STANDARDS The Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan (HBQAP) describes the 10 CFR 50, Appendix B quality assurance program for important-to-safety SSCs and activities. Management and CR administrative program requirements that apply to Unit 3 are subject to administrative 11-01 controls which demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

1.4 FIRE PROTECTION The Fire Prevention Program describes the overall fire protection program in place at HB.

DSAR Chapter 4 also discusses the fire protection system.

1.5 CONTROL OF RELEASES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS The radiological administrative control programs at Humboldt Bay effectively control the collection, segregation, processing, packaging, and discharge or disposal of radioactive solids and liquids. These systems and programs function to control releases to as low as is reasonably achievable levels and are designed to give reasonable assurance that the numerical guidelines defined in 10 CFR 50.34a, 50.36a, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and contained in the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) will be met.

Modular HEPA ventilation system(s) are used for interim airborne radioactivity control, if CR required. HEPA filter loading is administratively controlled to limit the potential offsite 11-02 exposure.

Interim storage buildings are provided for packaged low-level radioactive waste. Potential release pathways of radionuclides in particulate form are controlled and monitored in accordance with the ODCM.

1-2 REVISION 11

Liquid and solid wastes are normally processed in batches for off-site disposal. Gaseous effluents (particulates and tritium) could be released during dismantlement activities. During this time, samples will be taken from temporary monitored release points in accordance with the ODCM.

1.6 PERSONNEL SELECTION AND TRAINING Plant personnel meet the minimum education and experience standards specified in ANSI N18.1-1971, "Standard for Selection and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants."

Retraining and replacement training meets or exceeds the requirements and Manager shall meet or exceed the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 2, April 1987.

DSAR Chapter 6 discusses training programs for staff personnel. Records of the CR 11-02 qualifications, training, and retraining of each member of the plant organization are maintained in accordance with established programs.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 19, personnel are provided radiological training commensurate with the hazards to which they may be exposed while working at HBPP.

1.7 REPORTING OF OPERATING INFORMATION The Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan specifies the annual routine reporting requirements.

Personnel radiation exposure and monitoring procedures have been established and reports CR are submitted, as required. 11 -02 Reporting abnormal events in Licensee Event Reports and Special Reports is performed by site staff in accordance with established procedures and applicable regulatory requirements.

Established procedures ensure significant events are quickly brought to the attention of management and acted upon within the allowed reporting period.

1.8 MEASURING AND REPORT OF EFFLUENT FROM NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS The measuring and reporting of radiological effluents from Humboldt Bay complies with the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.21 and the ODCM.

Annual reports summarizing the quantity of radionuclides released from the site are submitted to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50.36a(a)(2). This summary data is comprised of radioactive release information collected in accordance with the ODCM.

1-3 REVISION 11

1.9 IDENTIFICATION OF AGENTS AND CONTRACTORS PG&E is responsible for control of agents and contractors used during the decommissioning the Humboldt Bay facility.

1.10 CONCLUSIONS The personnel assembled to decommission Humboldt Bay facility are capable of performing their required project function. The health and safety of the public and plant personnel are among the primary concerns during decommissioning.

The Humboldt Bay facility can be decommissioned in a safe manner and PG&E is qualified to decommission this nuclear facility in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and in a manner satisfactory to the NRC, the public, and itself.

DSAR CHAPTER 2 -SITE AND ENVIRONMENT 2.1

SUMMARY

The Humboldt Bay nuclear facility lies in the Northern California Coast Ranges geomorphic province. This province consists of a system of longitudinal mountain ranges (2000 to 4000 foot elevations with occasional 6000 feet peaks) and valleys with a trend of N 30 degrees to 40 degrees W. Terrain of the site varies from submerged and low tidal land, protected by dikes and tide gates, to a high precipitous bluff along the southwestern boundary.

Elevations range from approximately -3 feet to +75 feet based on a datum of the mean lower low water (MLLW) level.

Soils in the immediate vicinity of the site consist of sand and alluvial soil and strata of the Hookton and Carlotta sedimentary formations. These formations are primarily consolidated sands, gravels, and clays and conglomerates with good engineering properties.

Figure 2-1 shows the general location of the Humboldt Bay site. Figure 2-2 provides a more specific layout of the PG&E-owned land and a general layout of the site.

2.2 SITE AND ADJACENT AREAS The land in the general vicinity around the Humboldt Bay site is presently low density rural housing and is used primarily as grazing areas.

Within a 15-mile radius of the site there are five cities or communities (Eureka, Fortuna, Arcata, King Salmon, and Fields Landing). Activities in the area immediately surrounding the site are not expected to change extensively.

King Salmon Avenue runs along the west side of the site boundary and connects with US Highway 101 which runs along the southern boundary of the site. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs roughly parallel to Highway 101 but is out of service.

PG&E is operating Humboldt Bay Generating Station (HBGS), a new dual fueled (natural gas and diesel) power plant, on the Humboldt Bay site adjacent to the south side of the facility.

The Humboldt Bay ISFSI is located on site approximately 600 feet northwest of the HBGS.

2.3 METEROLOGY The Humboldt Bay facility uses conservative default atmospheric dispersion and deposition factors in its evaluations of off-site gaseous releases to calculate the doses that result from normal gaseous effluent and abnormal or accident release conditions.

2.4 HYDROLOGY The surface runoff from the site is directed into drains eventually discharging into Humboldt Bay. Outside the area served by the plant drain system, surface runoff drains into Buhne Slough, the natural drainage for the area, which drains into Humboldt Bay.

The nearest streams to the site are Salmon Creek and Elk River, which are within a mile south and north of the site, respectively, and which discharge into Humboldt Bay. These streams are used for watering livestock, but are not used as a potable water supply.

2-1 REVISION 11

The Mad River flows west approximately 13 -15 miles northeast of the site. The Ruth reservoir, the source of the city's water supply, is located on this river.

To the south, the Eel River discharges to the Pacific Ocean 8-10 miles from HB. This river is not used for potable water within 25 miles of HB.

Groundwater elevation in the area near the bay is similar to sea level and may be somewhat affected by tidal action. This elevation is approximately 12 feet below the plant floor elevation.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The environmental monitoring of the environment during decommissioning is delineated in the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual.

Results of the Humboldt Bay environmental monitoring are available to the State of California and federal agencies that have a direct interest and concern in these matters.

DSAR CHAPTER 3 -STRUCTURES 3.1 REFUELING BUILDING Once the majority of radioactivity is removed from within the Refueling Building, the structure will be removed.

3.2 RADWASTE TREATMENT FACILITIES Temporary liquid radioactive waste processing capability is available. Temporary buildings CR 11-02 are used to store low level radwaste packages awaiting shipment. As decommissioning progresses, these structures, systems and components will be removed from service and removed.

3-1 REVISION 11

DSAR CHAPTER 4 -AUXILIARY SYSTEMS 4.1 GENERAL The systems considered in this DSAR Chapter are:

1. Ventilation Systems
2. Waste Disposal Systems
3. Fire Protection Systems Design changes, modifications, and additions to existing systems and components are reviewed for compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.59 "Changes, Tests, and Experiments."

4.2 VENTILATION SYSTEMS Modular HEPA ventilation systems are used, as required, to monitor gaseous effluents CR (particulate). Gaseous effluent is sampled for radioactivity in accordance with the Offsite 11-02 Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM).

4.3 WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS CR Temporary waste disposal systems are used to support the remaining decommissioning 11-02 activities.

4.4 FIRE PROTECTION PROGRAM CR 11-02 The fire protection program describes the organizational requirements, design features, operational requirements, compensatory measures, testing requirements, and off-site fire fighting assistance coordination requirements that collectively define Unit 3's fire protection program. Fire loading, ignition sources, and combustible materials are significantly reduced and the possibility for a major fire is greatly diminished from the unit's operational phase. As decommissioning progresses, the requirements for fire suppression, detection and alarm systems will be removed.

Offsite firefighting capability is provided by the local fire department.

4-1 REVISION 11

DSAR CHAPTER 5- RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND RADIATION PROTECTION 5.1 RADIONUCLIDE INVENTORY The remaining radioactive source term at the defueled Unit 3 reactor site has been greatly cR reduced by radioactive decay and spent fuel removal. Administrative and engineering 11-02 controls are utilized to limit airborne radioactivity exposure to the workers and general public during decontamination and dismantlement.

5.2 LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS A temporary wastewater disposal system, such as tanks, pumps, piping, and processing CR equipment are used, as required, to process waste water prior to release or shipment off 11-02 site.

5.3 GASEOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT Modular ventilation systems are used, as required, to monitor gaseous effluents (particulate). CR 11-02 5.4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Solid radioactive wastes are collected and processed on or off site and shipped to a licensed and/or permitted burial site for disposal. Off-site secondary processors may be used for volume reduction or further processing prior to disposal. Solid wastes are packaged in containers which conform to Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements (49 CFR) for transport to a licensed disposal facility.

The total curie content and major radionuclide composition by waste type are reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36a.

5.5 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL The ODCM provides the information and methodologies used to evaluate the impact of radiological liquid and gaseous effluent discharged from the plant.

The ODCM is used to demonstrate that the plant complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 190 and 10 CFR 20, and the dose guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. Calculations for continuous airborne releases use default atmospheric diffusion coefficients and gaseous effluent flow rates. Exposures due to plant decommissioning are estimated by calculation methods specified in the ODCM.

5.5.1 Liquid Discharge Pathway Discharge of processed radioactive effluents to Humboldt Bay was terminated . Process water and liquids that exceed 10 times 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are CR manifested and disposed of at a licensed disposal site. Storm water and ground water during 11-02 decommissioning is treated and released using the Ground Water Treatment System (GWTS) in accordance with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and the associated NPDES permit.

5-1 REVISION 11

5.5.2 Gaseous Discharge Pathway Release pathways have been and are expected to continue to be very small; well within the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I dose guidelines and 10 CFR 20 concentration limits. Modular HEPA CR 11-02 ventilation systems are used, as required, to monitor gaseous effluents during decommissioning.

5.6 RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM 5.6.1 Organization The HB Director has the overall responsibility for radiological protection for all onsite activities, including assurance that ALARA policies are carried out at the facility. The Radiation Protection Manager is responsible for specifying radiation protection requirements for work activities. The HBPP organization and reporting chain are specified in administrative CR 11-01 procedures.

5.6.2 Equipment and Instrumentation Personnel Protective Equipment Anti-contamination clothing is furnished and worn as necessary to protect personnel against CR contact with radioactive contamination. Respiratory protective equipment is available for the 11-02 protection of personnel against airborne radioactive contamination.

Radiation Protection Instrumentation A variety of instruments are used to cover the entire spectrum of radiation measurements at Humboldt Bay.

5.6.3 Radiation Protection Procedures The radiation protection program is organized to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20. CR 11-02 5.6.4 Personnel Exposure Reporting An annual exposure monitoring report for individuals is submitted in accordance with 10 CFR 20.2206(b).

5-2 REVISION 11

DSAR CHAPTER 6 - CONDUCT OF OPERATIONS 6.1 PLANT ORGANIZATION The details of the PG&E organization that oversees the activities at the Humboldt Bay CR nuclear facility are discussed in administrative procedures. The HB Director heads the on- 11-01 site Humboldt Bay facility organization and directs the activities of the functional on-site departments.

6.2 PERSONNEL TRAINING Plant personnel are selected and trained for their assigned duties, with each department head being responsible for conducting department training that meets the applicable requirements and standards.

Radiological training is provided to all personnel commensurate to the hazards to which an individual will be exposed. Training is conducted and documented in accordance with the training program.

6.3 EMERGENCY PLAN CR Radiological source terms which may result in declaration of a radiological emergency are 11-02 eliminated or administratively controlled to limit potential exposure beyond the site boundary.

6.4 PLANT PROCEDURES The HB Administrative Procedures (HBAPs) define and implement administrative requirements or activities involving inter-departmental processes and administrative responsibilities. Procedure hierarchy, preparation, review, approval, revision, and control are established in accordance with the applicable HBAPs. CR 11-01 6.5 RECORDS CR Records are maintained as described in administrative procedures. 11-01 6-1 REVISION 11

DSAR CHAPTER 7 - SAFETY ANALYSIS 7.1 DECOMMISSIONING ACCIDENT ANALYSIS There are no postulated decommissioning accidents with potential radiological impacts to CR the environment.

INTRODUCTION Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has established and is implementing a comprehensive Quality Assurance Progmm for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (HBPP Unit 3) and Humboldt Bay _

Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI) to assure compliance with established regulatory requirements set forth by the Nuclear Regulatozy Commission (NRC). The Quality Assurance Program is described in this Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan (HBQAP).

The Humboldt Bay QA Program consists of the HBQAP and implementing procedures and instructions. The HBQAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements; establishing and maintaining the QA Program; and assessing the performance of activities subject to theHBQAP.

The HBQAP is a comprehensive statement of the quality assurance controls governing the Important to Safety (ITS) Stntctures Systems and Components (SSC). The HBQAP describes the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and inte1faces. The HBQAP satisfies the requirements oflO CFR50 Appendix B> 10 CFR 71 SubpartH and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G. The requirements for management and administrative controls are described in appendix B of this HBQAP.

The requirements and commitments contained in the HBQAP are mandatmy and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations petfonning activities affecting quality. Workers are encouraged to actively participate in the continued improvement and implementation of the HBQAP. Any necessaty ch~ges should be pr01nptly communicated and implemented.

The implementation of the requirements of the HBQAP is perfonned in a graded approach commensurate with any items or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is applicable to ITS SSCs and is responsive to NRC Regulatmy Guide 7.1 0.

TI1e HBQAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e. policies, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) that provide written guidance for the control of ITS items and activities. The HBQAP also provides for development of documentation to demonstrate objective .

evidence of compliance with the stated requirements.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 33 Page 3 of29 1.0 ORGANIZATION PG&E~s efforts are to assure the quality and safety of the decommissioning of the HBPP Unit 3, packaging and transportation of radioactive material and the operation and maintenance of the HB ISFSI utilizing the HBQAP. The progratn is organized in a structured manner with clearly defined levels of authority, assignments of responsibility and lines of communication.

Assignment of the responsibility for an item or activity includes responsibility for its quality. The Quality Organization provides independent oversight of quality activities and maintains lines of communication with Senior Management.

PG&E has assumed full responsibility for the establishment and execution of the HBQAP prescribed herein, programs and administrative procedm*es. The work of executing selected portions of the HBQAP may be delegated to organizations externa1 to PG&E; however, in all such instances, PG&E retains overall responsibility.

Specific responsibilities pertaining to quality assurance matters are assigned by the HBQAP and its implementing procedures *and instructions to various individuals throughout PG&E. Jn each instance, the assignment of a responsibility to an individual includes with it a commensurate delegation of sufficient authority that the person can, in fact, fulfill that responsibility. Unless otherwise specifically prohibited, it is understood that the functions, tasks and activities necessary to carry out a responsibility may be delegated to and perfmmed by other qualified individuals.

All delegations offtmctions, tasks, activities and authority shall be documented. Individuals Inay fulflll more than one function unless prevented by the need to maintain independence as specified

  • in the HBQAP.

Figures land 2 illustrate the organizational structure, ftmctional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and inte1faces of persons and organizations performing activities governed by the. HBQAP.

The functional responsibilities shown in Figures 1 and 2 are further described below. Generic titles are used for the functions and responsibilities. Differences (if any) between actual titles used in the organization are traceable to the HBQAP titles by the use of administrative procedures.

The SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT- CHIEF NUCLEAR OFFICER (CNO) is responsible for overall 1-IBPP Unit 3 decommissioning, and HB ISFSI activities, safety and for taking measures needed to ensure acceptable performance of the HB ISFSI staff in designing, fabricating, constructing, testing, operating, 1nodifying, decommissioning, and providing technical suppmi to the HB ISFSI and during HBPP Unit 3 decommissioning.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 33 Page 4 of29

  • The CNO, or designee, as specified in administrative procedures, approves and signs official company correspondence to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) or its representatives. The CNO approves revisions to the QA Program as described herein that constitute a reduction in a commitment made to the NRC. The CNO is responsible for designating individual(s) to perfonn an Independent Manage~nent Review to periodically assess the effectiveness of the HB QA Program.

The DIRECTOR- QUALITY (Quality Director) is responsible for assuring that the HBQAP and implementing procedures are effectively implemented and complied with by all involved organizations, both internal and external to PG&E. The Quality Director has the organizational freedom and requisite authority to assess, review, inspect> audit, and monitor the conduct of quality activities to assure compliance with the HBQAP and other regulatory requirements. The Quality Director reports to the CNO, and has access to the President, HB Director, and appropriate managers for any significant quality problem or deficiency.

The Quality Director is responsible for maintaining and submitting for approval changes to the 1-IBQAP. The Quality Director is responsible for the review of all regulatory submittals as they pertain to the HBQAP and his/her concunence is required prior to subrnittal.

Reporting to the Quality Director are the quality assurance, supplier quality and independent quality control inspection functions. These i.J).dividuals or groups do not have direct responsibility for petfonning the work being verified; are trained and qualified in QA concepts and practices; are independent of the organization respo~sible for performing the task and have direct access to management levels. The Quality Organization is sufficiently free from direct pressures for cost and schedule that assures the ability to: (a) identify quality problems; (b) initiate, recommend, or provide solutions through designated channels; and_(c) verify implementation of solutions.

Individuals within the Quality Organization have the authority to stop unsatisfactory. work and control further processing, delivery, or installation of nonconforming material. Organizational positions with stop work authority are identified in the implementing procedures.

The DIRECTOR-NUCLEAR SECURITY and EMERGENCY SERVICES (HB ISFSI Director) is responsible for the conduct of activities related to the HB ISFSI. This includes responsibility for operation, maintenance, training, security and emergency preparedness. The day-to-day responsibilities are delegated to and executed by the HB ISFSI management team.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 32 Page 2 of29 HUMBOLDT BAY QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN (HBQAP)

INTRODUCTION Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has established and is implementing a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (HBPP Unit 3) and Humboldt Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI) to assure compliance with established regulatory requirements set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This Quality Assurance Program is described in the Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan (HBQAP).

The Humboldt Bay QA Program consists of the HBQAP and implementing procedures and instructions. The HBQAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements; establishing and maintaining the QA Program; and assessing the performance of activities subject to theHBQAP.

The HBQAP is a comprehensive statement of the quality assurance controls governing the Important to Safety (ITS) Structures Systems and Components (SSC). The HBQAP describes the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and interfaces. The HBQAP satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 71 Subpart Hand 10 CFR 72 Subpart G. The requirements for management and administrative controls are described in appendix B of this HBQAP.

The requirements and commitments contained in the HBQAP are mandatory and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations performing activities affecting quality. Workers are encouraged to actively participate in the continued improvement and implementation of the HBQAP. Any necessary changes should be promptly communicated and implemented.

The implementation of the requirements of the HBQAP is performed in a graded approach commensurate with any items or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is applicable to ITS SSCs and is responsive to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.10.

The HBQAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e. policies, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) that provide written guidance for the control of ITS items and activities. The HBQAP also provides for development of documentation to demonstrate objective evidence of compliance with the stated requirements.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 32 Page 3 of29 1.0 ORGANIZATION PG&E's efforts are to assure the quality and safety of the decommissioning of the HBPP Unit 3, packaging and transportation of radioactive material and the operation and maintenance of the HB ISFSI utilizing the HBQAP. The program is organized in a structured manner with clearly defined levels of authority, assignments of responsibility and lines of communication.

Assignment of the responsibility for an item or activity includes responsibility for its quality. The Quality Organization provides independent oversight of quality activities and maintains lines of communication with Senior Management.

PG&E has assumed full responsibility for the establishment and execution of the HBQAP prescribed herein, programs and administrative procedures. The work of executing selected portions of the HBQAP may be delegated to organizations external to PG&E; however, in all such instances, PG&E retains overall responsibility.

Specific responsibilities pertaining to quality assurance matters are assigned by the HBQAP and its implementing procedures and instructions to various individuals throughout PG&E. In each instance, the assignment of a responsibility to an individual includes with it a commensurate delegation of sufficient authority that the person can, in fact, fulfill that responsibility. Unless otherwise specifically prohibited, it is understood that the functions, tasks and activities necessary a

to carry out responsibility may be delegated to and performed by other qualified individuals.

All delegations of functions, tasks, activities and authority shall be documented. Individuals may fulfill more than one function unless_prevented by the need to maintain independence as specified in the HBQAP. .

Figure 1 illustrates the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and interfaces of persons and organizations performing activities governed by the HBQAP.

The functional responsibilities shown in Figure 1 are further described below. Generic titles are used for the functions and responsibilities. Differences (if any) between actual titles used in the organization are traceable to the HBQAP titles by the use of administrative procedures.

DSAR CHAPTER INTRODUCTION AND

SUMMARY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

In 1984 PG&E submitted the Humboldt Bay Power Plant, Unit 3 (referred to as either HBPP, Unit 3, or the Humboldt Bay nuclear facility) SAFSTOR Decommissioning Plan (SOP) in support of the application to amend the HBPP Operating License to a Possession-Only License. As a result of the 1996 NRC decommissioning rule, the SOP was considered to be a Post-Shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report (PSDAR) because it contained information related to decommissioning activities . It was also considered to be a Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) because it contained information such as plant description, site characterization and accident analysis. In compliance with the 1996 NRC decommissioning rule, PG&E submitted a PSDAR in February 1998 to provide a general overview of proposed decommissioning activities. As a result, the SOP will focus on providing the type of information contained in an FSAR and will contain less information related to decommissioning activities. Thus, the SOP has been more appropriately renamed the Defueled Safety Analysis Report (DSAR) .

In addition to the DSAR and PSDAR, PG&E has submitted other documents to the NRC in accordance with 10 CFR 50 that constitute the licensing basis for H BPP. These other documents include: (1) License Amendments, (2) revised Technical Specifications, (3)

CR License Termination Plan. 11 -02 This DSAR reflects the changes made following Humboldt Bay's(HB's) decision to decommission Unit 3 in June 1983, as well as License Condition 2.8.1 that allow Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) "... to take actions necessary to decommission and decontaminate this facility." PG&E will update the DSAR in accordance with the methodology specified in 10 CFR 50.59 and 10 CFR 50.71 (e), submitting updates at least every two years. Revisions to the DSAR are numbered, starting with Revision 1.

The purpose of the DSAR is to provide a Safety Analysis Report that provides assurance that based on the decommissioning activities and the administrative controls and programs in place during decommissioning, no undue risk to the public health and safety will occur during normal operation and postulated accident conditions.

The following provides a history of major plant operation and licensing-related actions :

1. Unit 3 achieved initial criticality on February 16, 1963, and began commercial operation in August 1963.
2. On July 2, 1976, Unit 3 was shut down for annual refueling and to conduct seismic modifications. Seismic and geologic studies were in progress.

3 In December 1980 it became apparent that the cost of completing required backfits might have made it uneconomical to restart the unit. Work was suspended at that time awaiting further guidance regarding backfitting requirements.

1-1 REVISION 11

4 In 1983, updated economic analyses indicated that restarting Unit 3 would probably not be economical, and in June 1983 PG&E announced its intention to decommission the unit.

5 On December 11, 2008, PG&E completed the transfer of spent fuel from the spent fuel pool into the ISFSI.

1.2 SITE CHARACTERISTICS The Humboldt Bay nuclear facility is located about four miles true southwest of the city of Eureka, Humboldt County, California, and consists of 142.9 acres of land.

Since there are no design basis accidents that could approach 10 CFR 100 limits, no Safety Features are necessary to keep public exposures below the 10 CFR 100 dose limits under worst case postulated accident conditions.

1.3 QUALITY STANDARDS The Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan (HBQAP) describes the 10 CFR 50, Appendix B quality assurance program for important-to-safety SSCs and activities. Management and CR administrative program requirements that apply to Unit 3 are subject to administrative 11-01 controls which demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.

1.4 FIRE PROTECTION The Fire Prevention Program describes the overall fire protection program in place at HB.

DSAR Chapter 4 also discusses the fire protection system.

1.5 CONTROL OF RELEASES OF RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS The radiological administrative control programs at Humboldt Bay effectively control the collection, segregation, processing, packaging, and discharge or disposal of radioactive solids and liquids. These systems and programs function to control releases to as low as is reasonably achievable levels and are designed to give reasonable assurance that the numerical guidelines defined in 10 CFR 50.34a, 50.36a, and 10 CFR 50, Appendix I, and contained in the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual (ODCM) will be met.

Modular HEPA ventilation system(s) are used for interim airborne radioactivity control, if CR required. HEPA filter loading is administratively controlled to limit the potential offsite 11-02 exposure.

Interim storage buildings are provided for packaged low-level radioactive waste. Potential release pathways of radionuclides in particulate form are controlled and monitored in accordance with the ODCM.

1-2 REVISION 11

Liquid and solid wastes are normally processed in batches for off-site disposal. Gaseous effluents (particulates and tritium) could be released during dismantlement activities. During this time, samples will be taken from temporary monitored release points in accordance with the ODCM.

1.6 PERSONNEL SELECTION AND TRAINING Plant personnel meet the minimum education and experience standards specified in ANSI N18.1-1971, "Standard for Selection and Training of Personnel for Nuclear Power Plants."

Retraining and replacement training meets or exceeds the requirements and Manager shall meet or exceed the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.8, Revision 2, April 1987.

DSAR Chapter 6 discusses training programs for staff personnel. Records of the CR 11-02 qualifications, training, and retraining of each member of the plant organization are maintained in accordance with established programs.

In accordance with 10 CFR Part 19, personnel are provided radiological training commensurate with the hazards to which they may be exposed while working at HBPP.

1.7 REPORTING OF OPERATING INFORMATION The Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan specifies the annual routine reporting requirements.

Personnel radiation exposure and monitoring procedures have been established and reports CR are submitted, as required. 11 -02 Reporting abnormal events in Licensee Event Reports and Special Reports is performed by site staff in accordance with established procedures and applicable regulatory requirements.

DSAR CHAPTER 2 -SITE AND ENVIRONMENT 2.1

SUMMARY

The Humboldt Bay nuclear facility lies in the Northern California Coast Ranges geomorphic province. This province consists of a system of longitudinal mountain ranges (2000 to 4000 foot elevations with occasional 6000 feet peaks) and valleys with a trend of N 30 degrees to 40 degrees W. Terrain of the site varies from submerged and low tidal land, protected by dikes and tide gates, to a high precipitous bluff along the southwestern boundary.

Elevations range from approximately -3 feet to +75 feet based on a datum of the mean lower low water (MLLW) level.

Soils in the immediate vicinity of the site consist of sand and alluvial soil and strata of the Hookton and Carlotta sedimentary formations. These formations are primarily consolidated sands, gravels, and clays and conglomerates with good engineering properties.

Figure 2-1 shows the general location of the Humboldt Bay site. Figure 2-2 provides a more specific layout of the PG&E-owned land and a general layout of the site.

2.2 SITE AND ADJACENT AREAS The land in the general vicinity around the Humboldt Bay site is presently low density rural housing and is used primarily as grazing areas.

Within a 15-mile radius of the site there are five cities or communities (Eureka, Fortuna, Arcata, King Salmon, and Fields Landing). Activities in the area immediately surrounding the site are not expected to change extensively.

King Salmon Avenue runs along the west side of the site boundary and connects with US Highway 101 which runs along the southern boundary of the site. The Southern Pacific Railroad runs roughly parallel to Highway 101 but is out of service.

PG&E is operating Humboldt Bay Generating Station (HBGS), a new dual fueled (natural gas and diesel) power plant, on the Humboldt Bay site adjacent to the south side of the facility.

The Humboldt Bay ISFSI is located on site approximately 600 feet northwest of the HBGS.

2.3 METEROLOGY The Humboldt Bay facility uses conservative default atmospheric dispersion and deposition factors in its evaluations of off-site gaseous releases to calculate the doses that result from normal gaseous effluent and abnormal or accident release conditions.

2.4 HYDROLOGY The surface runoff from the site is directed into drains eventually discharging into Humboldt Bay. Outside the area served by the plant drain system, surface runoff drains into Buhne Slough, the natural drainage for the area, which drains into Humboldt Bay.

The nearest streams to the site are Salmon Creek and Elk River, which are within a mile south and north of the site, respectively, and which discharge into Humboldt Bay. These streams are used for watering livestock, but are not used as a potable water supply.

2-1 REVISION 11

The Mad River flows west approximately 13 -15 miles northeast of the site. The Ruth reservoir, the source of the city's water supply, is located on this river.

To the south, the Eel River discharges to the Pacific Ocean 8-10 miles from HB. This river is not used for potable water within 25 miles of HB.

Groundwater elevation in the area near the bay is similar to sea level and may be somewhat affected by tidal action. This elevation is approximately 12 feet below the plant floor elevation.

2.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM The environmental monitoring of the environment during decommissioning is delineated in the Off-site Dose Calculation Manual.

Results of the Humboldt Bay environmental monitoring are available to the State of California and federal agencies that have a direct interest and concern in these matters.

DSAR CHAPTER 5- RADIOACTIVE WASTE AND RADIATION PROTECTION 5.1 RADIONUCLIDE INVENTORY The remaining radioactive source term at the defueled Unit 3 reactor site has been greatly cR reduced by radioactive decay and spent fuel removal. Administrative and engineering 11-02 controls are utilized to limit airborne radioactivity exposure to the workers and general public during decontamination and dismantlement.

5.2 LIQUID WASTE TREATMENT SYSTEMS A temporary wastewater disposal system, such as tanks, pumps, piping, and processing CR equipment are used, as required, to process waste water prior to release or shipment off 11-02 site.

5.3 GASEOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT Modular ventilation systems are used, as required, to monitor gaseous effluents (particulate). CR 11-02 5.4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT Solid radioactive wastes are collected and processed on or off site and shipped to a licensed and/or permitted burial site for disposal. Off-site secondary processors may be used for volume reduction or further processing prior to disposal. Solid wastes are packaged in containers which conform to Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements (49 CFR) for transport to a licensed disposal facility.

The total curie content and major radionuclide composition by waste type are reported in the Radioactive Effluent Release Report required pursuant to 10 CFR 50.36a.

5.5 OFF-SITE DOSE CALCULATION MANUAL The ODCM provides the information and methodologies used to evaluate the impact of radiological liquid and gaseous effluent discharged from the plant.

The ODCM is used to demonstrate that the plant complies with the requirements of 40 CFR 190 and 10 CFR 20, and the dose guidelines of 10 CFR 50, Appendix I. Calculations for continuous airborne releases use default atmospheric diffusion coefficients and gaseous effluent flow rates. Exposures due to plant decommissioning are estimated by calculation methods specified in the ODCM.

5.5.1 Liquid Discharge Pathway Discharge of processed radioactive effluents to Humboldt Bay was terminated . Process water and liquids that exceed 10 times 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, Table 2, Column 2 are CR manifested and disposed of at a licensed disposal site. Storm water and ground water during 11-02 decommissioning is treated and released using the Ground Water Treatment System (GWTS) in accordance with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and the associated NPDES permit.

5-1 REVISION 11

5.5.2 Gaseous Discharge Pathway Release pathways have been and are expected to continue to be very small; well within the 10 CFR 50, Appendix I dose guidelines and 10 CFR 20 concentration limits.

The Humboldt Bay QA Program consists of the HBQAP and implementing procedures and instructions. The HBQAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements; establishing and maintaining the QA Program; and assessing the performance of activities subject to theHBQAP.

The HBQAP is a comprehensive statement of the quality assurance controls governing the Important to Safety (ITS) Stntctures Systems and Components (SSC). The HBQAP describes the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and inte1faces. The HBQAP satisfies the requirements oflO CFR50 Appendix B> 10 CFR 71 SubpartH and 10 CFR 72 Subpart G. The requirements for management and administrative controls are described in appendix B of this HBQAP.

The requirements and commitments contained in the HBQAP are mandatmy and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations petfonning activities affecting quality. Workers are encouraged to actively participate in the continued improvement and implementation of the HBQAP. Any necessaty ch~ges should be pr01nptly communicated and implemented.

The implementation of the requirements of the HBQAP is perfonned in a graded approach commensurate with any items or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is applicable to ITS SSCs and is responsive to NRC Regulatmy Guide 7.1 0.

TI1e HBQAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e. policies, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) that provide written guidance for the control of ITS items and activities. The HBQAP also provides for development of documentation to demonstrate objective .

evidence of compliance with the stated requirements.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 33 Page 3 of29 1.0 ORGANIZATION PG&E~s efforts are to assure the quality and safety of the decommissioning of the HBPP Unit 3, packaging and transportation of radioactive material and the operation and maintenance of the HB ISFSI utilizing the HBQAP.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 32 Page 2 of29 HUMBOLDT BAY QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN (HBQAP)

INTRODUCTION Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) has established and is implementing a comprehensive Quality Assurance Program for Humboldt Bay Power Plant Unit 3 (HBPP Unit 3) and Humboldt Bay Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation (HB ISFSI) to assure compliance with established regulatory requirements set forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This Quality Assurance Program is described in the Humboldt Bay Quality Assurance Plan (HBQAP).

The Humboldt Bay QA Program consists of the HBQAP and implementing procedures and instructions. The HBQAP describes the responsibilities for implementing quality requirements; establishing and maintaining the QA Program; and assessing the performance of activities subject to theHBQAP.

The HBQAP is a comprehensive statement of the quality assurance controls governing the Important to Safety (ITS) Structures Systems and Components (SSC). The HBQAP describes the organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority, line of communication, and interfaces. The HBQAP satisfies the requirements of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B, 10 CFR 71 Subpart Hand 10 CFR 72 Subpart G. The requirements for management and administrative controls are described in appendix B of this HBQAP.

The requirements and commitments contained in the HBQAP are mandatory and must be implemented, enforced, and adhered to by all individuals and organizations performing activities affecting quality. Workers are encouraged to actively participate in the continued improvement and implementation of the HBQAP. Any necessary changes should be promptly communicated and implemented.

The implementation of the requirements of the HBQAP is performed in a graded approach commensurate with any items or activities importance to safety. This graded approach is applicable to ITS SSCs and is responsive to NRC Regulatory Guide 7.10.

The HBQAP is implemented through the use of approved procedures (i.e. policies, procedures, manuals, instructions, or other documents) that provide written guidance for the control of ITS items and activities. The HBQAP also provides for development of documentation to demonstrate objective evidence of compliance with the stated requirements.

L-4 Attachment 2.1 Rev. 32 Page 3 of29 1.0 ORGANIZATION PG&E's efforts are to assure the quality and safety of the decommissioning of the HBPP Unit 3, packaging and transportation of radioactive material and the operation and maintenance of the HB ISFSI utilizing the HBQAP. The program is organized in a structured manner with clearly defined levels of authority, assignments of responsibility and lines of communication.

Assignment of the responsibility for an item or activity includes responsibility for its quality. The Quality Organization provides independent oversight of quality activities and maintains lines of communication with Senior Management.

PG&E has assumed full responsibility for the establishment and execution of the HBQAP prescribed herein, programs and administrative procedures. The work of executing selected portions of the HBQAP may be delegated to organizations external to PG&E; however, in all such instances, PG&E retains overall responsibility.

Specific responsibilities pertaining to quality assurance matters are assigned by the HBQAP and its implementing procedures and instructions to various individuals throughout PG&E.

Audit scopes and schedules are established to meet applicable regulatory requirements and are based on the status and safety significance of the activities to be audited.

Detailed audit schedules are documented in accordance with Quality procedures. At a minimum, the conformance of decommissioning activities and ISFSI operations to applicable regulatory requirements is audited at least once every 24 months or more frequently as performance dictates.

External audits of suppliers providing ITS materials, parts, equipment or services are scheduled and performed based on the importance of an sse or activity to confirm implementation of their Quality Program requirements, but not less than every 3 years.

Audits that are not mandated by regulation have a grace period of up to 90 days, when the urgency of other priorities makes meeting the specified schedule dates impractical. For audit activities deferred using a grace period, the next scheduled due date shall be based on the originally scheduled due date, but may not exceed the original due date plus 90 days.

Audit reports shall be prepared, issued to and reviewed by responsible management of both the audited and auditing organizations. Audit records shall be generated and retained. Follow-up action, including re-audit of deficient areas, shall be taken, where applicable.
