14 i ofi EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI-SGS EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS Introduction This document provides a line-by-line comparison of the Initiating Conditions (ICs), Mode Applicability and Emergency Action Levels (EALs) in NEI 99-01 Revision 5, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels, and the SGS ICs, Mode Applicability and EALs. This document provides a means of assessing SGS differences and deviations from the NRC endorsed guidance given in NEI 99-01. Discussion of SGS EAL bases and lists of source document references are given in the EAL Technical Bases Document.

It is, therefore, advisable to reference the EAL Technical Bases Document for background information while using this document.Comparison Matrix Format The ICs and EALs discussed in this document are grouped according to NEI 99-01 Recognition Categories.

Within each Recognition Category, the ICs and EALs are listed in tabular format according to the order in which they are given in NEI 99-01. Generally, each row of the comparison matrix provides the following information:

  • NEI EAL/IC identifier
  • NEI EAL/IC wording* SGS EAL/IC identifier
  • SGS EAL/IC wording* Description of any differences or deviations EAL Emphasis Techniques Due to the width of the table columns and table formatting constraints in this document, line breaks and indentation may differ slightly from the appearance of comparable wording in the source documents.

NEI 99-01 Revision 5 (ADAMS Accession Number ML080450149) is the source document for the NEI EALs; the SGS EAL Technical Bases Document for the SGS EALs.The print and paragraph formatting conventions summarized below guide presentation of the SGS EALs. Space restrictions in the EAL table of this document sometimes override this guidance in cases when following the guidance would introduce undesirable complications in the EAL layout.Words or acronyms that are both uppercase and bold are defined terms.* EAL threshold values and table references are bold but are not uppercase.

  • EAL words or acronyms that are not threshold values and not defined terms may be emphasized by using uppercase print.* Bold font, uppercase and underscore are used for logic terms, and quantifiers such as any, all, both, etc.Global Differences The differences listed below generally apply throughout the set of EALs. The global differences do not decrease the effectiveness of the intent of NEI 99-01 Revision 5.1. The NEI phrase "Notification of Unusual Event" has been changed to"Unusual Event" to reduce EAL-user reading burden.2. The generic term "Emergency Director" has been replaced with the term "Emergency Coordinator" as the site specific title used at SGS and HCGS.3. NEI 99-01 IC Example EALs are implemented in separate plant EALs to improve clarity and readability.

For example, NEI lists all IC HU1 Example EALs under one IC. The corresponding SGS EALs appear as unique EALs (e.g., HU1.1 through HU1.5).4. Mode applicability identifiers (numbers/letter) modify the NEI 99-01 mode applicability names as follows: 1 -Power Operation, 2 -Startup, 3 -Hot Standby, 4 -Hot Shutdown, 5 -Cold Shutdown, 6 -Refueling, D -Defueled.

NEI 99-01 defines Defueled as follows: "All reactor fuel removed from reactor pressure vessel. (Full core off load during refueling or extended outage)." 5. NEI 99-01 uses words for phrases such as greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, etc. in the wording of ICs and example EALs. To reduce EAL-user reading burden and for consistency with plant procedures, SGS has adopted use of the symbols >, >, < and <in place of the NEI 99-01 modifiers.

6. NEI EALs that include a time interval such as "15 minutes or longer" are expressed as conditional phrases "AND [interval]

minutes have 1 of 144 EAL Comparison Matrix 0551- SGS EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS elapsed (Note 3)" to ensure the associated interval is not obscured by the EAL wording. (Some format variations are adopted to maintain proper syntax.) The parenthetical reference to a note directs the EAL-user to the appropriate NEI note concerning interpretation of the time interval.7. EAL notes are numbered to facilitate referencing in the EAL matrix.8. The NEI phrase "RPV/RCS water level" has been changed to "RCS level" for constancy with SGS EOPs and other operating procedures.

9. IC/EAL identification:

NEI 99-01 defines the thresholds requiring emergency classification (example EALs) and assigns them to ICs which, in turn, are grouped in "Recognition Categories." The Recognition Categories, however, are so broad and the IC descriptions are so varied that an EAL is difficult to locate in a timely manner when the EAL-user must refer to a set of EALs with the NEI organization and identification scheme. The NEI document clearly states that the EAL/IC/Recognition Category scheme is not intended to be the plant-specific EAL scheme for any plant, and appropriate human factors principles should be applied to development of an EAL scheme that helps the EAL-user make timely and accurate classifications.

SGS endeavors to improve upon the NEI EAL organization and identification scheme to enhance usability of the plant-specific EAL set. To this end, the SGS IC/EAL scheme includes the following features: a. Division of the NEI EAL set into three groups: o EALs applicable under all plant operating modes -This group would be reviewed by the EAL-user any time emergency classification is considered.

o EALs applicable only under hot operating modes -This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Hot Shutdown, Hot Standby, Startup, or Power Operations mode.o EALs applicable only under cold operating modes -This group would only be reviewed by the EAL-user when the plant is in Cold Shutdown, Refueling or Defueled mode.The purpose of the groups is to avoid review of hot condition EALs when the plant is in a cold condition and avoid review of cold condition EALs when the plant is in a hot condition.

This approach significantly minimizes the total number of EALs that must be reviewed by the EAL-user for a given plant condition, reduces EAL-user reading burden and, thereby, speeds identification of the EAL that applies to the emergency.

b. Within each of the above three groups, assignment of EALs to categories/subcategories

-Category and subcategory titles are selected to represent conditions that are operationally significant to the EAL-user.Subcategories are used as necessary to further divide the EALs of a category into logical sets of possible emergency classification thresholds.

The SGS EAL categories/subcategories and their relationship to NEI Recognition Categories are listed in Table 1.c. Unique identification of each EAL -Four characters comprise the EAL identifier as illustrated in Figure 1.Figure 1 -EAL Identifier EAL Identifier XXX.X Category (R, H, E, C, S, F) L Sequential number within subcategory/classification Emergency classification (G, S, A, U) __ L __ Subcategory number (1 if no subcategory)

The first character is a letter associated with the category in which the EAL is located. The second character is a letter associated with the emergency classification level (G for General Emergency, S for Site Area Emergency, A for Alert, and U for Unusual Event). The third character is a number associated with one or more subcategories within a given category.

Subcategories are sequentially numbered beginning with the number "1". If a category does not have a subcategory, this character is assigned the number "1 ". The fourth character is a number preceded by a period for each EAL within a subcategory.

2 of 144 EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS EALs are sequentially numbered within the emergency classification level of a subcategory beginning with the number "1 ".The EAL identifier is designed to fulfill the following objectives:

o Uniqueness

-The EAL identifier ensures that there can be no confusion over which EAL is driving the need for emergency classification.

o Speed in locating the EAL of concern -When the EALs are displayed in a matrix format, knowledge of the EAL identifier alone can lead the EAL-user to the location of the EAL within the classification matrix. The identifier conveys the category, subcategory and classification level. This assists ERO responders (who may not be in the same facility as the Emergency Coordinator) to find the EAL of concern in a timely manner without the need for a word description of the classification threshold.

o Possible classification upgrade -The category/subcategory/identifier scheme helps the EAL-user find higher emergency classification EALs that may become active if plant conditions worsen.Note that the NEI 99-01 identifier only identifies the IC, not the specific example EAL threshold.

The NEI scheme, therefore, does not fulfill the above objectives which are desirable in facilitating timely and accurate emergency classification.

Table 2 lists the SGS ICs and EALs that correspond to the NEI ICs/Example EALs when the above EAL/IC organization and identification scheme is implemented.

Differences and Deviations In accordance NRC Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2003-18 "Use of Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) 99-01, Methodology for Development of Emergency Action Levels" Supplements 1 and 2, a difference is an EAL change in which the basis scheme guidance differs in wording but agrees in meaning and intent, such that classification of an event would be the same, whether using the basis scheme guidance or the SGS EAL. A deviation is an EAL change in which the basis scheme guidance differs in wording and is altered in meaning or intent, such that classification of the event could be different between the basis scheme guidance and the SGS proposed EAL.Administrative changes that do not actually change the textual content are neither differences nor deviations.

Likewise, any format change that does not alter the wording of the IC or EAL is considered neither a difference nor a deviation.

The following are examples of differences:

  • Choosing the applicable EAL based upon plant type (i.e., BWR vs.PWR).* Using a numbering scheme other than that provided in NEI 99-01 that does not change the intent of the overall scheme.* Where the NEI 99-01 guidance specifically provides an option to not include an EAL if equipment for the EAL does not exist at SGS (e.g., automatic real-time dose assessment capability).
  • Pulling information from the bases section up to the actual EAL that does not change the intent of the EAL.* Choosing to state ALL Operating Modes are applicable instead of stating N/A, or listing each mode individually under the Abnormal Rad Level/Rad Effluent and Hazard and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety sections." Using synonymous wording (e.g., greater than or equal to vs. at or above, less than or equal vs. at or below, greater than or less than vs. above or below, etc.)* Adding SGS equipment/instrument identification and/or noun names to EALs." Changing the format of the EALs to conform to the SGS EAL convention (e.g., numbering individual EALs, re-ordering individual EALs within an IC that does not affect the logic, etc.).* Combining like ICs that are exactly the same but have different operating modes as long as the intent of each IC is maintained and the overall progression of the EAL scheme is not affected.3 of 144 EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS* Any change to the IC and/or EAL, and/or basis wording, as stated in NEI 99-01, that does not alter the intent of the IC and/or EAL, i.e., the IC and/or EAL continues to: o Classify at the correct classification level.o Logically integrate with other EALs in the EAL scheme.o Ensure that the resulting EAL scheme is complete (i.e., classifies all potential emergency conditions).

The following are examples of deviations:

  • Use of altered mode applicability.
  • Altering key words or time limits.* Changing words of physical reference (protected area, safety-related equipment, etc.).* Eliminating an IC. This includes the removal of an IC from the Fission Product Barrier Degradation category as this impacts the logic of Fission Product Barrier ICs.* Changing a Fission Product Barrier from a Loss to a Potential Loss or vice-versa.

Not using NEI 99-01 definitions.

The intent is for all NEI 99-01 users to have a standard set of defined terms as defined in NEI 99-01.Differences due to plant types are permissible (BWR or PWR).Verbatim compliance to the wording in NEI 99-01 is not necessary as long as the intent of the defined word is maintained.

Use of the wording provided in NEI 99-01 is encouraged since the intent is for all users to have a standard set of defined terms as defined in NEI 99-01.* Any change to the IC and/or EAL, and/or basis wording as stated in NEI 99-01 that does alter the intent of the IC and/or EAL, i.e., the IC and/or EAL: o Does not classify at the classification level consistent with NEI 99-01.o Is not logically integrated with other EALs in the EAL scheme.o Results in an incomplete EAL scheme (i.e., does not classify all potential emergency conditions).

The "Difference/Deviation Justification" columns in the remaining sections of this document identify each difference between the NEI 99-01 IC/EAL wording and the SGS IC/EAL wording. An explanation that justifies the reason for each difference is then provided.

If the difference is determined to be a deviation, a statement is made to that affect and explanation is given that states why classification may be different from the NEI 99-01 IC/EAL and the reason for its acceptability.

In all cases, however, the differences and deviations do not decrease the effectiveness of the intent of NEI 99-01 Revision 5. A summary list of SGS EAL deviations from NEI 99-01 is given in Table 3.4 of 144 EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS Table 1 -SGS EAL Categories/Subcategories SGS EALs NEI Category Subcategory Recognition Category Group: Any Operating Mode: R -Abnormal Rad Release / Rad Effluent 1 -Offsite Rad Conditions Abnormal Rad Levels/Radiological 2 -Onsite Rad Conditions/Fuel Pool Effluent Events 3 -CR/CAS Rad E -ISFSI Spent Fuel Transit Events Related to Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installations H -Hazards & Other Conditions Affecting 1 -Natural & Destructive Phenomena Hazards and Other Conditions Affecting Plant Safety 2 -Fire or Explosion Plant Safety 3 -Hazardous Gas 4 -Security 5 -Control Room Evacuation 6 -EC Judgment Group: Hot Conditions:

As provided in the Holtec HI-STORM 100 System Certificate of Compliance (CoC), Appendix A (Technical Specifications), Section 5.7.4 contains radiation values for the cask that should not be exceeded.

Under Amendment

  1. 5, the highest allowable radiation level on contact with the HI-STORM 100 cask body is 300 mR/hr on the side of the cask and 30 mR/hr on the top of the cask. Keeping in line with NEI guidance that a UE is warranted for radiation conditions at a level of twice the Technical Specification value, 600 mR/hr and 60 mR/hr are being used as the EAL threshold radiation levels.69 of 144 EAL Comparison Matrix OSSI -SGS The threshold values are sufficiently above nominal radiation levels of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY that radiation levels above this EAL threshold would indicate significant damage to the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY.No releases of radioactive material requiring offsite response or monitoring are expected because the seal-welded spent fuel canister (part of the CONFINEMENT BOUNDARY) is designed to remain intact under all normal, off-normal, and credible accident conditions of onsite transport and storage at the ISFSI, according to Holtec licensing documents.

Postulated problems associated with the dry cask storage system include those caused by natural phenomena or accidents caused by human error/equipment malfunctions which affect the storage system. Generally speaking, the limiting impacts to the system include loss of shielding capability and loss of fuel canister integrity.

The loss of shielding would result in higher direct radiation to the environment, while the loss of fuel canister integrity results in a release of radioactive materials from the Multi-Purpose Canister (MPC) within the cask to the environment.

However, the particular dry storage system used at the PSEG Nuclear ISFSI is a robust seal-welded,, canister-based system that is designed to remain leak-tight under all normal, off-normal and postulated accident conditions.

Therefore, effluent release from the storage system is not a credible condition.

In addition, because the amount of radioactive material inside the dry storage system is fixed, the source term never increases over time and, in fact, decreases over time due to radioactive decay.The effect on cask shielding effectiveness under off-normal and accident conditions is evaluated in Chapter 11 of the HI-STORM FSAR. Only one event resulted in a slight loss of the cask shielding effectiveness that was caused by the postulated accident conditions evaluated for a fire. A very small percentage of the cask exterior concrete was estimated to be degraded, which did not result in any significant projected increase in dose rates. No release of radioactive material from the.MPC is projected for any off-normal or accident event.:;, 70 of 144:.. -:.... ... ,J)
