1. Purpose NOTE: 1. NSD 228 Applicability Determination and a 50.59 screening is required to make major changes to this section. Minor changes per NSD 703 can be made without a Applicability Determination.
2. Seven Control copies and one Information Only copy of this CSM shall be routed to the Emergency Preparedness Team within three (3) working days following any approved changes/modifications.

This section provides guidelines on the administration and use of chemistry post accident procedures and the precautions that should be observed during the use of these procedures.

Special attention is given to limits and precautions associated with the execution of a procedure during a projected accident. Personnel requirements and procedure work locations will be given for personnel exposure consideration. Also, a listing of RIAs of interest to Chemistry for planning and assessment activities is included in Enclosures 6.1 and 6.2. This information is intended only as guidelines with the knowledge that an actual accident situation may deviate greatly from a projected scenario.

2. Guidelines 2.1 Limits and Precautions NOTE: These Limits and Precautions do not apply to the task for Addition of Caustic to the LPI (RCS) System. This task is a "time critical task" and therefore is not subject to the below Limits and Precautions.

2.1.1 Valve alignments should NOT be made and samples should NOT be taken without prior authorization from the TSC/OSC.

2.1.2 Do NOT attempt any phase of sampling or analysis without Radiation Protection coverage.

2.1.3 ALL personnel will need prior authorization from the OSC to exceed any exposure limit.

Chemistry Manual 5.2 Page 3 of 13 2.1.4 Radiation levels of the sampling and analysis area should be measured continuously during all phases of sampling, sample preparation, and analysis.

2.1.4.1 Air activity should be determined by use of installed air monitors or through the use of portable air sampling equipment.

2.1.4.2 Area dose rates should be established by the use of installed radiation monitors or by portable radiation survey instruments.

2.1.4.3 Portable shielding, remote handling equipment, video equipment, etc., should be used where practical during sample preparation and sample analysis.

2.1.4.4 All personnel working in the lab area and transporting samples shall monitor their personal dosimetry frequently to avoid exceeding maximum dose limits.

2.1.5 The post accident analysis should be done in a fume hood and/or other precautions should be taken to avoid the release of gaseous activity.

2.1.6 Radiation exposure to an individual during all phases of sampling should be limited so as not to exceed an annual accumulative exposure of 2 rem whole body; 50 rem skin of whole body; 50 rem extremities; or 15 rem eye respectively. All personnel will need prior authorization from the TSC/OSC to knowingly exceed any exposure limit. The exposure received may require an occupational exposure penalty and/or a medical decision as to whether an individual can continue in radiation work.

2.2 Waste Disposal 2.2.1 Determine by detailed planning meeting, the exact course of action to be taken. Under no condition should liquid or solid wastes be disposed of without prior specific RP directions.

2.2.2 Designate a sealable carboy as the "Post Accident Lab Waste" container. This container should be shielded and used as an interim liquid waste disposal container for all liquid analytical waste.

2.2.3 Request RP to designate an area where the "RCS Flush" bottle(s), "RCS Sample" bottle(s) and "Post Accident Lab Waste" container may be stored until final disposal.

2.2.4 In the event an area is grossly contaminated and cannot be decontaminated, evaluate the need for shielding or protective covering to prevent the spread of airborne activity.

4. Suggested Actions 4.1 Normal Operating Conditions:

Observation: Loose pait or mechanical failure has caused suspected loss of some fuel integrity.

Actions:

"* Do not over react, close coordination with OPS and RP will be necessary to understand where and how to sample coolant.

  • First find out exact status of unit (subcritical, pressure, temperature, # of RCP on, letdown flow rate, area monitor readings?)
  • If the unit is shutdown, then remember that samples will show normal coolant fissio-h product spiking - must compare to earlier unit trip results.
  • Have RP survey letdown piping (if in service) and compare to normal values before deciding which method to use in sampling.

Chemistry Manual 5.2 Page 12 of 13 For truly mechanical damage, gap activity isotope should increase (xenons, kryptons, iodines) with much smaller increases in (strontium, barium, cesium, less mobile isotopes).

  • With gap activity release, degassing of coolant fission gases will be much more pronounced. Appropriate respiratory protection should be considered while sampling.

4.2 Overheat Condition Without Fuel Melt Observation: RB pressure and temperature increase. Suspect loss of coolant to Reactor Building.

Actions:

"* If ES actuation occurs, then letdown will be automatically secured thus rendering normal sample point useless (Ops may manually override)

" Make immediate plans to move necessary equipment to RW facility or "Environmental lab for chemical analysis of boron and pH. Dose rates may render Primary lab useless.

"Beforedeciding which sample location to use, a careful evaluation of all data should be performed.

1. Boron concentration can be calculated based on injection volumes and known concentrations.
2. RIA readings from RIA 57, 58 can closely estimate failed fuel percentage without need for sampling.
3. If recirculation of water through vessel is not available, the PALS J-leg sample will not be representative.
4. Core exit thermocouple readings and mapping can aid in estimating area and extent of core damage.

"* If electrical system load shed has occur-red, then many of the normal power supplies to the Chemistry group may be unavailable without Operations assistance.

Chemistry Manual 5.2 Page 13 of 13 4.3 Fuel Melt Actions:

"* All of Section 4.2 action items are applicable.

"* Expect higher levels of barium, strontium and praseodyium from fuel matrix loss.

"* Expect high suspended solids in any sampling attempted.

"* Both hydrogen percentage and RIA 57, 58 readings can and should be used in lieu of sampling, at least until dose levels have significantly dropped.

"* Boron as a criticality concern should be minimal - weighing the small benefit of a sample versus the extreme risk to an individual(s) should be considered.

1.2 The Low Pressure Injection (LP1) system is in operation with the LPI pumps taking suction from the BWST.

1.3 The Reactor Building Emergency Spray system may or may not be in operation from the BWST through the spray headers.

1.4 The addition of caustic SHALL begin WITHIN thirty (30) minutes AFTER switchover to the recirculation mode of core cooling. The recirculation mode is in effect whenever the suction for the LPI pumps' is aligned to the Reactor Bldg. Emergency Sump.

1.5 The addition of caustic will be made upon authorization of the TSC/OSC, or upon notification by Operations when the TSC/OSC has not yet been activated.

2. Bases for Caustic Addition Calculations 2.1 Calculations for the amount of caustic required for neutralization of the borated water are dependent on:

2.1.1 An reasonable estimate of the volume of borated water being used as the core flooding coolant; 2.1.2 The boron concentration of the sources of water prior to addition.

2.2 If the total volumes of the CFTs and BWST are used, then the maximum amount of caustic required for neutralization of the borated water to a pH of 7.5 is 500 gallons.

This amount has been calculated with the following considerations:

2.2.1 Both CFrs and the BWST have a total volume of 403,000 gallons with a boron concentration of 2300 ppm; 2.2.2 The RCS has a volume of 88,000 gallons with a boron concentration of 1000 ppm.
