1.0 DESCRIPTION
This letter is a request to amend Operating License Docket # 50-244 for the R.E.
Ginna Nuclear Power Plant.
The proposed amendment would revise the operating license as follows:
- Reflect the new Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System (CREATS)
- Implement new industry guidance related to CREATS
- Add the requirement for a Control Room Integrity Program
- Add reporting requirements for an inoperable boundary
- Eliminate the requirement for Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filters
- Modify the Reactor Coolant Dose Equivalent 1-131 Specific Activity Limit
- Revise Containment Spray Additive (NaOH) tank limits
- Revise the definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 to include reference to ICRP-30 The amendment also proposes a change in dose calculation methodology to the Alternate Source Term per 10CFR 50.67, Accident Source Term. Since Radiation Doses for Equipment Qualification are not addressed, this should be considered a partial AST Submittal.
2.0 PROPOSED CHANGE
Rochester Gas and Electric Corporation (RG&E) intends to modify the CREATS per Ginna Plant Change Record (PCR) 2000-0024, to improve system reliability, performance and redundancy. To provide a basis for explanation, a drawing of the new configuration is included as Figure 1. Upon completion of the modification, the present (normal) system will remain in place and will serve as normal HVAC, except that the existing Control Room Emergency Fan and Filter Unit (AKF07) will be either removed or abandoned in place. While in the accident mode, the normal HVAC system will be isolated by redundant leak tight dampers. The new CREATS will start and re-circulate the control room environment through High Efficiency Particulate Absorbers (HEPA) and Charcoal Filters to provide a safe environment for the Operators. The new system will have redundant trains and will be powered from safeguard power sources with Diesel Generator backup. Each train will provide a nominal 6000 CFM of re-circulation flow. A new actuation signal will be installed to automatically shift the CREATS to the emergency mode upon receipt of a Safety Injection signal in addition to the already existing high radiation and toxic gas initiation signals. A detailed description of the plant modification can be found in the Design Criteria (Attachment 7) and the draft UFSAR section 6.4 changes (Attachment 8).
Enclosure Page 2 of 13
Specifically, Ginna Station Technical Specifications are to be revised as follows (see attachment 3 for markups):
- Section 1.1 - The Dose Equivalent 1-131 will be changed to reflect the thyroid dose conversion factors consistent with the new analysis.
- Section 3.3.6 - The CREATS instrumentation section will be changed to identify the new Safety Injection CREATS actuation signal as assumed in the new dose analysis and to eliminate CORE ALTERATIONS from the Mode of Applicability. This section is also being revised by a separate submittal (reference 9), and following approval of that submittal the retyped version of this section will be submitted along with a copy of the marked up bases sections.
- Section 3.4.16 - RCS Specific Activity Limits will be revised to eliminate Figure 3.4.16-1 and provide a single limit for Dose Equivalent 1-131 specific activity consistent with the new dose analysis.
- Section 3.6.6 - This section will be revised to eliminate the requirement and associated surveillance for Containment Post-Accident Charcoal Filters. The new analysis was performed without crediting these filters with satisfactory dose consequences. The revised section will remain consistent with Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications, NUREG-1431 (reference 7), with respect to containment cooling, iodine removal, and ph control.
SR 3.6.6.8 will be revised to reflect the actual amount of NaOH required to meet the ph requirement consistent with the new analysis. The present limit is overly restrictive. The proposed limit is conservative in that it is approximately three times the volume required by the Ginna UFSAR Section 6.1.2.1.4 and associated reference calculations, which is in itself conservative with respect to sump ph requirement.
SR 3.6.6.9 will be revised to add an upper limit of NaOH concentration consistent with Ginna Station Safety Evaluation SEV-1 057, Revision 2 (reference 12).
- Section 3.7.9 - The CREATS section will be changed to reflect the new system configuration. The change reflects Westinghouse Standard Technical Specifications (NUREG-1431, Rev 2) and Tech Spec Task Force (TSTF)
Traveler TSTF-448, as modified for Ginna specific considerations.
- Section 5.5.10 - The Ventilation Filter Testing Program (VFTP) will be changed to reflect the removal of the Containment Post-Accident Charcoal Filter and the revised testing requirements for the new CREATS.
Enclosure Page 3 of 13
- Section 5.5.16 - Add the requirement for a Control Room Integrity Program as prescribed in TSTF-448.
- Section 5.6.7 - Add a Control Room Emergency Filtration System Report as prescribed in TSTF-448.
As part of this modification, RG&E has elected to recalculate the Control Room and site boundary doses using the Alternate Source Term Methodology per NRC Regulatory Guide 1.183, "Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors" (reference 3). This is a methodology change from previously approved Ginna Station evaluations. New x/Q values for the Control Room were calculated using the ARCON 96 computer code, supplemented by the guidance in Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1 111, "Atmospheric Relative Concentrations for Control Room Radiological Habitability Assessments at Nuclear Power Plants" (reference 6). New off-site x/Q values were calculated (used in the Locked Rotor Dose Analysis only) using the PAVAN code and guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.145, "Atmospheric Dispersion Models for Potential Accident Consequence Assessments at Nuclear Power Plants,"
Revision 1 (Reference 14). The results of these analyses support the proposed change to eliminate the requirement for the containment post accident charcoal filter trains in Technical Specification LCO 3.6.6 and substitute a single limit of 6OuCi/gm Dose Equivalent 1-131 in place of the curve in Figure 3.4.16.1. The analysis also verifies that the design of the new CREATS will maintain the Operators dose below allowable limits, assuring that they will be capable of performing their required duties during a DBA.
The present configuration of the Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filter System requires a damper shift and redirection of airflow in the event of an accident. That is, the normal discharge flow path for Containment Recirculation Fan Coolers (CRFCs) A and C are isolated and redirected to the charcoal filters.
The appropriate surveillance requirements are maintained to ensure the continued operability of the CRFC A and C and the associated HEPA filters.
In summary, the proposed amendment will reflect the post modification CREATS system configuration and other related changes. In addition, the requirement for Containment Post Accident Charcoal filters will be removed and the Reactor Coolant 1-131 dose equivalent limit will be adjusted as supported in the updated dose analysis.
3.0 BACKGROUND
RG&E has undertaken a voluntary initiative to upgrade the Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System by installing a new system including fans, filters, dampers and environmental controls. The new system will improve Enclosure Page 4 of 13
reliability, redundancy and environmental conditions for the operators during accident conditions.
To minimize the impact upon plant operation and scheduling, the new equipment will be installed and tested during plant operation, with the exception of certain electrical ties. This will be performed without breaching the Control Room boundary as follows:
Short ducts sealed with blind flanges will be installed on the inside of the Control Room walls to provide a connection point for the interior ductwork (see A on Figure 1). Holes will then be cut from the outside of the control room wall along the internal radius of the short ducts. The interior blind flange plates will stay in place until the external system is installed and pressure tested.
The new fans, filters and other components will be assembled and connected to the short ducts at the holes described above. The new system external to the control room will be constructed to leak tight standards, and will be pressure tested for leak tightness. After testing, the flanges will be removed and the interior ductwork connected. This new equipment may then be operated as necessary for heating and cooling purposes, with the added benefit of providing filtration in the event of an accident.
After the new equipment is operational, new dampers AKD21 ,--AKD22, AKD23 and AKD24 will be installed to provide emergency mode isolation of the normal HVAC system. These 4 dampers will be located in the Control Room/Relay Room stairwell. RG&E Design Analysis DA-NS-2000-070, Control Room Dose Simulation Removal of MUX Room Temporary Stairwell Enclosure (reference 8) documents the acceptability of the stairwell as an extended Control Room boundary.
Prior to opening the ductwork for installation of the new dampers (inside the stairwell), the existing CREATS equipment will be isolated and declared inoperable. This will require entry into current Tech Spec 3.7.9, Condition A. It is anticipated the plant will be in this LCO for less than 30 days. The new CREATS will be operated during this period for temperature control and will provide a contingency for filtration and activity removal in the event of an accident.
After the four new dampers are installed the system will be operationally tested and turned over to Operations. The new proposed Technical Specifications will then be implemented and a tracer gas in-leakage test performed to verify the in-leakage assumptions used in the dose analysis. Attachments 7, 8, and 9 provide additional details concerning the new CREATS.

4.0 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
As part of this submittal, RG&E performed a detailed analysis of the radiological dose and toxic gas consequences of the proposed modification. Each of the Design Basis Accidents in UFSAR Chapter 15 that had a calculation for dose consequences was recalculated using Alternate Source Terms per 10CFR50.67 (reference 2), and expressed in TEDE for comparison with the limits contained in Regulatory Guide 1.183 (reference 3). Additionally, to standardize and maintain consistency with current guidance, RG&E performed the remaining Analyses listed in Regulatory Guide 1.183 with the exception of the Dose for Equipment Qualification. The toxic gas analysis (Attachment 2 and reference 13) is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.78, Evaluating the Habitability of a Nuclear Power Plant Control Room During a Postulated Hazardous Chemical Release, Revision 1 (reference 10). The following specific analyses were performed:
Dose Analysis
- Atmospheric Dispersion, x/Q
- Iodine Spiking
- Loss of Coolant
- Fuel Handling Accident
- Main Steam Line Break
- Steam Generator Tube Rupture
- Locked RCP Rotor
- Rod Ejection Accident
- Tornado Missile in Spent Fuel Pool
- Waste Gas Decay Tank Rupture Other Analysis
- Toxic Gas Effects The above analyses demonstrate that the changes are acceptable from a dose and chemical perspective. The specific results of the analyses are included in , Alternative Source Term and Control Room Emergency Ventilation System Submittal.
5.0 REGULATORY SAFETY ANALYSIS 5.1 No Significant Hazards Consideration The proposed amendment would revise the operating license as follows:
Enclosure Page 6 of 13
- Reflect the new Control Room Emergency Air Treatment System (CREATS)
- Change the dose calculation methodology to the Alternate Source Term (AST) per 10CFR 50.67, Accident Source Term
- Implement new industry guidance related to CREATS
- Add the requirement for a Control Room Integrity Program
- Add reporting requirements for an inoperable boundary
- Eliminate the requirement for Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filters
- Modify the Reactor Coolant Dose Equivalent 1-131 Specific Activity Limit
- Revise Containment Spray Additive (NaOH) tank limits
- Revise the definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 to include reference to ICRP-30 RG&E has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards consideration is involved with the proposed amendments by focusing on the three standards set forth in 10CFR50.92, "Issuance of Amendment," as discussed below.
- 1. Does the proposed change involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
Response: No.
The function of the CREATS is to provide a safe environment for the operators in the event of an accident, and thereby allow them to perform their accident mitigation responsibilities. The physical changes to the CREATS were designed to enhance the ability of the system to perform that function. The new system is an improvement in reliability, redundancy and leak tightness over the existing system. The change in design has no impact on accident initiation frequencies. Therefore the physical changes to the plant do not increase the probability or consequences of a previously evaluated accident.
The proposed Technical Specification changes involving the CREATS reflect the new system configuration and current industry guidance. The specifications ensure system functionality and protection of the operators under postulated accident conditions.
The new dose analysis indicates that the radiation dose to the operators and the public is acceptable without crediting the post accident charcoal filters removed from Technical Specification 3.6.6 and 5.5.10, and also bounds the change to the Reactor Coolant System activity limits in Technical Specification 3.4.16. The change to the dose conversion factor Enclosure Page 7 of 13
definition in Technical Specification section 1.1 is consistent with the new analysis.
The reference to ICRP-30 in the Dose Equivalent 1-131 definition is consistent with the new analysis and Standard Tech Specs, NUREG1431.
All calculated doses are within the regulatory limits prescribed in 10CFR50.67. In addition, with the exception of one calculated Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) dose, all dose numbers are within the guidelines of Reg Guide 1.183 and Standard Review Plan (SRP) 15.0.1. This above-mentioned dose is in one particular direction from the source. The associated accident is the Locked Rotor Accident, which was not previously evaluated for dose at Ginna. The 100% fuel failure assumption used in this accident is widely considered to be overly conservative.
Additionally, extra margin is built into the calculation because RG&E assumed 500 gallons per day (GPD) of Steam Generator (SG) tube leakage per SG. Since the primary release pathway for this accident is SG tube leakage, and Reg Guide 1.183 (reference 3) allows an assumed tube leakage equal to the Tech Spec allowable leakage (-150 GPD/SG at Ginna), RG&E assumed a release rate of -3.3 times greater than required. The calculated dose (2.7 Rem) is well below the regulatory limit of 25 Rem and only slightly greater than the published guideline of 2.5 Rem. Given the localized nature, associated probability/risk, and conservatism in this analysis, the calculated dose is considered acceptable.
Iodine removal was not credited in the existing analysis of doses for Equipment Qualification. Therefore, even though the Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filters will be removed from Tech Specs as a result of this amendment, it is not necessary to re-analyze these doses.
The Toxic Gas in-leakage analysis is bounded by the assumed in-leakage in the dose analysis. The amendment also does not hinder or change the ability to mitigate smoke infiltration as described in NEI 99-03, Control Room Habitability Guidance.
This change has no impact on accident initiators, will not affect the ability of the operators to perform their designated functions, and removal of the requirement for CNMT Post Accident Charcoal Filters is shown to be acceptable. Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.
- 2. Does the proposed change create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
Enclosure Page 8 of 13
Response: No.
For the proposed changes, a different kind of accident would involve a situation where the operators would become incapacitated or otherwise be prevented from fulfilling their function. The new system differs in that the cooling in the emergency mode is from direct expansion of R-22 refrigerant. A rupture of the coils could introduce the refrigerant into the Control Room environment. However, the charge of refrigerant R-22 in cooling system will be limited such that a rupture in the cooling coils would not exceed nationally accepted toxicity standards.
The radiation and/or toxic gas exposures are shown to be acceptable, and the ability of the plant to mitigate smoke infiltration has not changed. The new system will improve the environmental conditions in most situations and actually enhance the ability of the operators to perform their functions.
Given the above, an event that would result in preventing the operators from fulfilling their safety functions is not introduced by this change.
Therefore, the proposed change does not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.
- 3. Does the proposed change involve a significant reduction in margin of safety?
Response: No.
The new analysis was performed without crediting the existing Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filters and indicated that the Control Room and off-site doses remain within the required limits. Removal of the Post Accident Charcoal Filters from Technical Specification will not impact the operators' ability to function or significantly increase dose to the public.
The new Technical Specification surveillance limits for NaOH tank level and concentration establish criteria acceptable to meet the assumptions in the dose analysis.
The changes to the VFTP program in Technical Specification reflect the removal of the Containment Post Accident Charcoal Filters consistent with the analysis, and the surveillance limits consistent with the new CREATS design.
The use of AST represents a change to a standardized and accepted dose calculation method.
Enclosure Page 9 of 13
The function of the CREATS system is to protect the operators and allow them to perform the necessary accident mitigation tasks. The proposed changes to the CREATS enhance this ability through improved redundancy and system operation. The analysis demonstrates that the Control Room will remain within prescribed limits during the design basis accidents. The operators will be able to perform their function and the public will be protected.
Therefore, the proposed change does not involve a significant reduction in a margin to safety.
Based on the above, RG&E concludes that the proposed amendments present no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10CFR50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.
5.2 Applicable Regulatory Requirements 10CFR50 Appendix A General Design Criteria (GDC)19 (reference 1)
GDC 19 states in part, "A control room shall be provided from which actions can be taken to operate the nuclear power unit safely under normal conditions and to maintain it in a safe condition under accident conditions, including loss-of-coolant accidents. Adequate radiation protection shall be provided to permit access and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 5 rem whole body, or its equivalent to any part of the body, for the duration of the accident." GDC 19 also provides allowance for compliance under 10CFR50.67 provision for Alternate Source Term.
The new CREATS system will have two redundant 100% capacity trains and Limiting Conditions for Operation which have been approved as part of the Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) Standard Technical Specifications. As such, the proposed changes ensure the above stated criteria are met during all modes of applicability.
10CFR50.67 Accident Source Term This part has provisions for compliance using the alternate source term. The technical summary of analysis, Section 4, demonstrates compliance with this part and GDC 19. The change in methodology to the altemate source term is in compliance with this part and Reg Guide 1.183.
Enclosure Page 10 of 13
NUREG-0800, Standard Review Plan, section 6.4 (reference 4), was reviewed and the proposed changes are shown to be consistent with this guidance (Attachment 9).
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION
A review has determined that the proposed amendment would change a requirement with respect to installation or use of a facility component located within the restricted area, as defined in 10 CFR 20, and would change an inspection or surveillance requirement. However, the proposed amendment does not involve (i) a significant hazards consideration, (ii) a significant change in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluent that may be released offsite, or (iii) a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure. Accordingly, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment (reference 5).

EAB and LPZ X/Q calculated by PAVAN, see Section 2.8 Summary of Radiological Analyses, 5/03 Page 3 of 81
2.0 Atmospheric Dispersion (X/Q)
The atmospheric dispersion factors currently described within the UFSAR were reviewed as part of the control room ventilation system upgrade. As a result of this review, the atmospheric dispersion factors for the control room intake were recalculated as described below. The atmospheric dispersion factors for the EAB and LPZ are described in Section 2.8.
The atmospheric dispersion factors for each pathway from on-site source to control room intake were recalculated using the ARCON96 code (Reference 1) combined with the draft 2 Reg. Guide DG-1 1 1 methodology (Reference 2).
The meteorological data collected by a Regulatory Guide 1.23 system for the years 1992, 1993, and 1994 was used in the calculations. This data is considered to be typical of any time period. This data was readily available and used in prior submittals. The data covered 26,304 hours0.00352 days <br />0.0844 hours <br />5.026455e-4 weeks <br />1.15672e-4 months <br />, of which 512 hours0.00593 days <br />0.142 hours <br />8.465608e-4 weeks <br />1.94816e-4 months <br /> were missing or invalid. This represents approximately 2% which is within the ARCON96's default setting of 10%.
The wind speed statistics for a typical year (1992) are:
Average wind speed: 4.16 m/sec Maximum: 24.5 m/sec Total hours (including invalid): 8572 Invalid hours: 212 The stability distribution for the same year (1992) was:

2.1 Containment Leakage The containment shell is modeled as a diffuse vertical area source. This source is used in the dose calculations for LBLOCA, and the containment leakage portion of a control rod ejection accident. The source width is the contaimnent O.D. and the source height is the distance from ground to the top of the containment dome. This is consistent with Reference 2, Figure 1. The diffuse source model is used because leakage is assumed to
,be distributed over the containment surface and all penetrations, not isolated to a specific point.
The source to receptor distance uses the shortest horizontal distance from the containment surface to the intake and assumes the source and receptor are at the same height. This results in the shortest source to receptor distance as illustrated by points C and B on Figure 2.1 .B. The ARCON96 input parameters and resulting X/Qs are presented on Table 2.1 and Figures 2.1A and 2.1B.

2.2 Containment Equipment Hatch (Roll-Up Door)
This vertical area source is used for the fuel handling accident in Containment. In this case, all Containment leakage is assumed to come from the equipment hatch, a large penetration located in the south-east sector of the Containment perimeter. During refueling, the hatch is removed, and the open penetration is covered by a roll-up door.
The source dimensions are based on face area of the roll-up door. Radioactivity is postulated to leak through the open hatch, to the environment, through the perimeter seals of the roll-up door. The calculation uses:
- 1. The shortest horizontal distance between the door perimeter and the Control Room Intake
- 2. A diffuse vertical source is assumed. The dimensions being that of the roll-up door (23'6" wide, 22' high).

2.3 Atmospheric Relief Valves (ARVs)
This source is used for releases from the steam generators. The pathway is based on the ARV discharge that is closest to the Control Room Intake. This will result in larger X/Qs. The discharge of the ARV is modeled as a ground-level point source rather than an elevated vent since Reference 2 advises against using the vent release model, pending further NRC evaluation. The assumed release height is equal to the distance from grade to the vent point. The cross-section area of Containment was assumed for the wake area (1071 m2 ). A sensitivity run was made where the wake area was doubled. There was an insignificant change in X/Q. The ARCON 96 input parameters and resulting X/Q are presented on Table 2.3 and Figure 2.3.

2.4 Plant Vent This source is used for releases from a fuel handling accident in the spent fuel pool. The vent is modeled as a horizontal area source, rather than a vent source, based on guidance in Reference 2, which advises against using the vent release model pending further NRC evaluation. The assumption of an area source is considerably more conservative than the vent source assumption and only slightly less conservative than a point source. For the horizontal area source, the horizontal diffusion coefficient is based on the vent diameter (55") and the vertical coefficient is set to zero. The assumed release height is equal to the distance from grade to the vent point. The wake area of 1071 m2 is again assumed.
Doubling this value had an insignificant affect on X/Q. The ARCON96 input parameters and resulting X/Q are presented on Table 2.4 and Figure 2.4.

2.5 Auxiliary Building Leakage This source is used when ECCS leakage is considered. The subgrade floors of this building contain ECCS equipment that is postulated to leak. The source is modeled as a vertical area source assumed to be the building wall closest to the Control Room Intake.
The building north wall is modeled which approximates the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the line of site from the building surface to the control room intake. The assumed release height is the distance from grade to the top of the Auxiliary Building.
The wake area equivalent to the Containment cross-section area is again assumed. The shortest source - receptor distance is calculated from the corner of the Auxiliary Building to the Control Room Intake. The ARCON96 input parameters and resulting X/Q are presented on Table 2.5 and Figure 2.5.

2.6 Main Steam Header Turbine Building This source is used to model activity released from a main steamline break. The rupture site is assumed to be inside the Turbine Building on the mezzanine level. (See Section 7.1 for additional details.) Since the released steam is assumed to blow-out windows and metal siding of the Turbine Building, no confinement of the plume is assumed. The source is modeled as a ground level point source. The distance to the receptor is that from the header midpoint to the Control Room Intake. The release height is the distance from grade to the top of the header. The wake area equivalent to the Containment cross-section area is again assumed. The ARCON96 input parameters and resulting X/Q are presented on Table 2.6 and Figure 2.6.

2.7 Tornado Missile The tornado missile accident assumes that a utility pole, propelled by the wind, penetrates the Auxiliary Building roof and impacts fuel stored in the spent fuel pool. The specific location of the impact cannot be predicted. Thus, the shortest source-receptor distance is conservatively assumed. The source is modeled as a ground level point source. The release height is the distance from grade to the spent fuel pool surface. The wake area is again assumed equivalent to the cross-section area of Containment.
The calculation of atmospheric dispersion for tornado conditions is a unique task that cannot be performed with ARCON96. The primary reason that ARCON96 can't be used is the lack of meteorological data for a tornado. Further, if data were available, the duration of a tornado is too short for ARCON96 to provide a meaningful average. An ARCON96 calculation typically averages 1 to 5 years of hourly meteorological data. A tornado would provide two data points at most.
While the use of the ARCON96 code is not practicable for tornado conditions, the use of the dispersion models executed by ARCON96 may be used to conservatively estimate dispersion; The CONHAB module of the HABIT code calculates a single, direction and time-independent dispersion value using the basis dispersion models developed for ARCON96.
CONHAB is used to calculate dispersion factors for tornado wind speeds and to also show the sensitivity of the model to stability class. The input and results for these cases is summarized in Table 2.7. The basis for the selection of wind speed and stability class is as follows:
- wind speed The range is 24.5 to 60 meters/sec. 24.5 meters/sec is the maximum recorded hourly wind speed during normal atmospheric conditions. 132 miles/hour (about 60 meters/sec) is the wind speed for the design basis tornado.
- Pasquill stability class Stability class is a user input to the CONHAB dispersion model. There are 7 stability classes, A through G. "A" represents extremely unstable conditions, and "G" represents stable conditions. Unstable conditions enhance dispersion. Stable conditions diminish dispersion. However, the dispersion model predicts a diminishing effect with increasing wind speed. Test cases are run to show this effect and also to show that there are no discontinuities or instabilities in the model due to increasing wind speed. The cases show converging X/Qs with increasing wind speed (Figure 2.7). For the cases listed on Table 2.7, Pasquill F Summary of Radiological Analyses, 5/03 Page 20 of 81
provides some conservatism over Pasquill A, even at wind speeds up to 60 meters/sec. Therefore, the tornado X/Q will be based on Pasquill F and a wind speed of 24.5 meters/sec., since this combination results in a larger X/Q.

2.8 EAB and LPZ Atmospheric Dispersion Factors All the EAB and LPZ dose calculations used the current X/Qs presented in the Ginna UFSAR (Reference 3, Section 2.3.4.2.1) except for the tornado missile and locked rotor.
Due to the uniqueness of the tornado missile dose calculation and to maintain consistency between the control room calculation and the EAB calculation, the EAB calculation was done using the same methodology as used for the control room calculation. See Section 2.7 for a description of the methodology.
The ultra conservative assumptions used in the locked rotor dose calculation result in assuming 100% fuel failure. This assumption and the current UFSAR EAB X/Q results in an unrealistically high EAB dose. To obtain a more realistic dose, the EAB and LPZ X/Qs were recalculated using the PAVAN computer code. The recalculated values have only been used to calculate the locked rotor doses. The intent is to use these new values in any future calculations.

2.8.2 Recalculated Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (PAVAN code)
The same meteorological data used to calculate the Control Room X/Q was used to recalculate the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) and Low Population Zone (LPZ) dispersion factors. The dispersion factors were calculated using KR PAVAN which is a PC-based version of the NRC's PAVAN code (Reference 9). Dispersion factors were calculated using the direction-dependent method and the direction-independent method.
The direction-dependent method determined the 0.5 percent X/Q value for each of the 16 wind speed directions. The direction-independent method determined the 5 percent X/Q value for the overall site. The direction-dependent dispersion values were limiting, for both EAB and LPZ boundaries. The input assumptions are listed on Table 2.8.
The EAB dispersion factor calculated by the ENVLOP routine of PAVAN is a conservative bounding 0.5 percent X/Q value. Since the EAB dose can be limiting for certain accidents, such as locked rotor, a more accurate X/Q value is desired. Therefore, the output X/Q vs. percentile for the limiting sector is analyzed in a spreadsheet to obtain a more accurate value.
The results of the spreadsheet analysis are shown in Figures 2.8.1 and 2.8.2. A logarithmic trend line is fit to the data and the resulting 0.5% X/Q value (0-2 hours) is determined. The 0.5 percent code and spreadsheet values for the limiting sector (SW) are:
code value 3.32E-4 equation value using all data points 3.368E-4 equation value using only low percentage data 2.978E-4 Visual inspection of the data and trend line show good agreement. This is also confirmed by the R2 values (0.9414 and 0.9388) which are close to 1.0. The EAB dispersion factor will be 2.98E-4.
The LPZ dispersion factor output was also evaluated using a spreadsheet. The equation value, using all data, was higher than the value generated by KR PAVAN and the equation value using only the low probability data was lower than the value generated by KR PAVAN. Since a high degree of accuracy is not needed for the LPZ values and the KR PAVAN value is reasonable, the code values will be used for the LPZ.

3.0 Iodine Spiking For events where no fuel failure is postulated, iodine spiking is assumed. Two cases of iodine spiking are considered.
- 1. Accident Initiated Spike
- 2. Pre-Accident Spike 3.1 Accident Initiated Spike The primary system transient causes an iodine spike in the primary system. The appearance rate is based on an equilibrium concentration of 1.0 jiCi/gm Dose Equivalent I-131. The rate of increase and duration of the spike is event dependent. The following inputs are used in the calculation of the appearance rate.

4.0 General Discussion 4.1 The control room dose calculations use the same X/Q for both pre-isolated outside air and unfiltered inleakage. Pre-isolated outside air is all from the control room intake. Ginna does not have dual air intakes. Unfiltered inleakage may come from doors, penetrations into the control room envelope, air recirculation/filtration equipment, etc. The source to leakage location for all possible leak points is through other structures first (resulting in torturous paths) or longer source-to-receptor distances. Thus, the leakage point specific X/Q would be greater than that for the control room intake. The control room intake X/Q is assumed to be bounding for all control room dose calculations.
4.2 The nuclide data base used for all calculations is from ORIGEN2 (Reference 12). The nuclides are for a plant-specific representative 18 Month Fuel Cycle at end of life. The dose significant nuclide concentrations have been slightly increased to produce bounding doses.
4.3 All dose calculations assume the FGRl1 and FGR12 dose conversion factors (References 10 and 11).
4.4 No credit is taken for elemental or methyl iodine removal inside containment by charcoal filters. This is indicated by assuming 0% efficiency as an input parameter. Credit is taken for particulate removal. Particulate removal is done by the inside containment HFPA filters.
4.5 Filter Loading - The RADTRAD code was used to calculate the inside containment HEPA filter particulate loading. The calculation was done for the conditions associated with a LBLOCA. The calculation assumed the filters operate for the duration of the calculation (720 hr.) which essentially removed all particulates from containment. The filter loading was approximately 1 oz/ft 2 which is judged to be well within the holding capability of the filters.

5.0 Loss-of-Coolant-Accident 5.1 Analysis The analysis uses the alternate source term (AST) as defined in Reg. Guide 1.183 (Reference 5). The AST assumptions are listed on Table 5.1 and are consistent with Reg.
Guide 1.183. The analysis is performed with the HABIT code version 1.1 (Reference 6) and the nuclide data base discussed in Section 4.2. The LBLOCA analysis consists of two parts: 1) Containment Leakage and 2) ECCS continuous leakage outside Containment. The resulting doses are summarized on Table 5.4 The airborne fraction (flashing fraction) used in the analysis is piece-wise time dependent and bounds the values based on sump (ECCS leakage) temperature from a Ginna-specific calculation. The values used in the analysis are illustrated on Figure 5.1.
The flashing fraction is estimated as follows:
FF Hexit Hi Hv Hi Where:
FF = flashing fraction Hexit = enthalpy of the relieved fluid (sump conditions)
HI = enthalpy of liquid at 15 psia, saturated H, = enthalpy of vapor at 15 psia, 212°F.
Sump water temperature varies from 260°F at 1 hr. into the LOCA to 170°F at 50 hr.
Sump pH is maintained greater than 7.0 on recirculation.
To determine the airborne fraction, a number of points were selected along the flashing curve, and then the curve was converted into a conservative step function. The value of each step is approximately 0.01 above the calculated flashed fraction. Even though the curve predicts that the flashed fraction goes to 0 at about 15 hours1.736111e-4 days <br />0.00417 hours <br />2.480159e-5 weeks <br />5.7075e-6 months <br />, the minimum airborne fraction is maintained at 0.01 out to 720 hours0.00833 days <br />0.2 hours <br />0.00119 weeks <br />2.7396e-4 months <br /> (only 25 hours2.893519e-4 days <br />0.00694 hours <br />4.133598e-5 weeks <br />9.5125e-6 months <br /> shown in Fig 5.1). This is done to account for some droplet atomization.
Although these values are not as conservative as the fixed value of 10% suggested in the SRP, they are consistent with the intent of the SRP which is to use a conservative approximation.

5.2 Assumptions A Large Break Loss of Coolant Accident (LBLOCA) occurs inside Containment.
One train of emergency power is assumed to fail. This results in only one train of Containment Recirculation Fan Coolers (CRFCs) operating and one train of Containment Spray.
At 52 minutes Containment Spray is stopped and sump recirculation is started and continues for the duration of the calculation.
At 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> the CRFCs are arbitrarily stopped, terminating particulate removal by filtration.
The Control Room parameters are listed on Table 5.3.
The Control Room is assumed isolated at 60 seconds and CREATS is up and operating at 70 seconds. Isolation from the radiation monitors and/or safety injection would occur well before the 60 seconds assumed in the analysis.
A passive ECCS failure of 50 gpm as identified in the Ginna UFSAR is not assumed in this analysis. However, the ECCS leakage has been increased to 4 gph.
The analysis uses the source term parameters in Table 5.1 and the Containment leakage parameters on Table 5.2.
Control room parameters are shown in Table 5.3 and 5.4.
ECCS Leakage - The analysis assumes a continuous leakage of 4 gph.

6.0 Fuel Handling Accident 6.1 Analysis This calculation determines the offsite and Control Room doses (TEDE) for a fuel handling accident (FHA). The analysis uses the alternate source term and accompanying TEDE methodology and conservative control room X/Q values that are calculated with the ARCON96 code. Two cases will be evaluated:
- FHA inside Containment
- FHA in the Spent Fuel Pool The AST defined in Reference 5 is used. The HABIT code (Reference 6) and HABIT nuclide data base as discussed in Section 4.2 are used. Since the release from the FHA is assumed to end after 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the dose calculations are terminated after all contributions are accounted for; 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for LPZ and 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for the Control Room. The resulting doses are presented on Table 6.4.
6.2 Assumptions Both cases assume the fuel rods in one fuel assembly fail.
Activity from the damaged fuel rods is assumed to be instantaneously released to the pool water.
There is a minimum of 23 feet of water above the fuel.
The activity release rate is independent of the actual ventilation flow rate. The activity release rate is adjusted to ensure all radioactive material that escapes from the reactor cavity or spent fuel pool is released to the environment over a two hour period.
The activity from a FHA in Containment is assumed to be released from Containment to the environment via the perimeter seals of the Equipment Hatch roll-up door. No filtration or absorption of iodine is assumed.
The activity from a FHA in the spent fuel pool is assumed to be released from the pool area to the environment via the plant vent. The dose conversion factors from FGR1 1 and 12 are used (References 10 and 11).
Note that the charcoal filter system for the spent fuel pool area is not ESF or safety-related and the charcoal filter system would be unavailable if a coincident loss of offsite power were to occur. The Technical Specifications require use of the system during irradiated fuel movement within the Auxiliary Building to minimize doses. Therefore, the system is credited in the dose analysis.
Summary of Radiological Analyses, 5/03 Page 42 of 81
The FHA dose analysis assumptions are listed on Table 6.1. The Control Room assumptions are listed on Table 6.2.
The Control Room is assumed to be isolated within 60 seconds via the radiation monitors.
A comparison of the nuclide concentration in the Control Room intake for the FHA to the radiation monitor response showed a Control Room isolation signal would occur before the 60 seconds assumed in the calculation.
Fission product inventories and activities released from the SFP are shown in Table 6.3.

7.0 Main Steam Line Break 7.1 Analysis This calculation determines the offsite and Control Room doses (TEDE) for the Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) outside the Containment. The analysis uses the alternate source term and the accompanying TEDE methodology and conservative control room X/Q values that are calculated with the ARCON96 code. The MSLB analysis includes the following cases:
- MSLB with pre-accident iodine spike The AST defined in Reference 5 is used. The HABIT code (Reference 6) and HABIT nuclide data base as discussed in Section 4.2 are used. No fuel failures are postulated for the MSLB.
7.2 Assumptions The purpose of this analysis is to calculate the steam releases from the faulted and intact Steam Generator (SG) during a steam line break to the atmosphere. Therefore, breaks inside Containment are non-applicable.
Because of an augmented inspection program, breaks between the Containment penetrations and inside the Intermediate Building are limited to connection pipes only with the largest pipe being 6" (UFSAR Section 3.6.2.4.5.2). Larger pipe breaks can only be postulated downstream of the Intermediate Building, i.e., inside the Turbine Building.
Therefore, the break is assumed to occur in the 36" header inside the Turbine Building.
This is the largest pipe break that can occur outside Containment. The break area is limited to 1.4 ft2 because of a flow restrictor in the SG outlet nozzle.
The scenario consists of a header break. The single failure is assumed to be a failure of the main steam isolation valve on the faulted SG. Initially the break is fed by both SGs.
Following steam line isolation, the break is fed only by the faulted SG. At approximately 10 minutes the faulted SG is isolated by operator action. The intact SG is then used for cooldown, where steam is released to the atmosphere through the intact SG Atmospheric Relief Valve (assumed to be 8 hr.) until the releases are stopped.
A primary to secondary leakage of one gpm to each SG is assumed for the duration of the event (8 hr). The faulted SG is assumed to be dry at 10 minutes. and remain dry for the event. The intact SG is isolated from the break within the first minute and auxiliary feedwater maintains SG level for the duration of the event.
Summary of Radiological Analyses, 5/03 Page 49 of 81
All of the initial iodine inventory in the faulted SG is assumed released to the environment by 10 minutes. The iodine from the primary-to-secondary leakage into the faulted SG is released directly to the environment with no credit for retention. The initial iodine inventory in the intact SG is mixed with the primary-to-secondary leakage into the SG and released to the environment assuming an iodine partition of 100. The steam release from the intact SG is based on a LOFTRAN simulation of the MSLB followed by an energy balance to simulate the cooldown to RHR conditions. All noble gas activity carried over to the SGs is assumed to be immediately released to the environment.
Initially the Control Room HVAC is operating normally with a nominal 2000 cfm of makeup air. Isolation is assumed to occur at 60 sec and CREATS is operating at 70 sec assuming a nominal 6000 cfm recirculation flow. Since isolation is caused by a safety injection signal, the Control Room would be isolated well before the 60 sec. assumed in the analysis. Following isolation, 300 cfm of unfiltered inleakage is assumed for the duration of the calculation.
The releases from the steam break are assumed to stop at 8 hr. The Control Room calculation is continued until 24 hr to ensure all dose contributions are accounted for.

9.0 Locked Rotor Accident This calculation determines the offsite and Control Room doses for the LR accident. The analysis uses alternate source term and accompanying TEDE methodology and conservative Control Room X/Q values, that are calculated with the ARCON96 code. The LR analysis includes the following case:
- Primary-to-secondary leakage with SG activity releases The AST defined in Reference 5 is used. The HABIT code (Reference 6) and HABIT nuclide data base discussed in Section 4.2 are used.
9.1 Assumptions Input parameters are listed in Table 9.1 and 9.2 below.
It is conservatively assumed 100% of the fuel rods experience DNB and are therefore assumed to release their gap activity into the reactor coolant system.
The initial reactor coolant iodine activity is based on a pre-accident spike discussed in Section 3.2. The concentrations are based on 60 uCi/gm of DE I-131. The noble gas activity is based on 1% fuel defects.
The initial secondary coolant iodine activity is based on 0.1 uCi of DE 1-13 1.
The assumed post-accident primary-to-secondary leak rate is 500 gal/day per SG. This bounds the current limit of 144 gpd/SG and a future Technical Specification limit of 150 gpd/SG.
A partition coefficient of 100 is assumed for elemental iodine in the secondary coolant. No partitioning is assumed for organic iodine or noble gas. No particulates are assumed to be released to the atmosphere with the secondary side steam.
The steam release from the SGs is based on a LOFTRAN simulation of the LR followed by an energy balance to simulate the cooldown to RHR conditions. RHR System is assumed to be placed into service for heat removal 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> after the initiation of the LR.
Initially the Control Room HVAC is operating normally with a nominal 2000 cfm of makeup air. Isolation is assumed to occur at 60 sec. via the radiation monitors. A comparison of the nuclide concentration in the Control Room intake for the LR to the radiation monitor response showed a Control Room isolation signal would occur before the 60 sec. assumed in the calculations. CREATS is assumed operating at 70 sec. assuming a nominal 6000 cfm recirculation flow.

10.0 Rod Ejection Accident This calculation determines the offsite and Control Room doses (TEDE) for Rod Ejection Accident (REA). The analysis uses the alternate source term and the accompanying TEDE methodology and conservative control room X/Q values that are calculated with the ARCON96 code. The REA analysis includes the following cases:
- Containment leakage
- Primary-to-secondary leakage with SG activity release.
Doses are calculated for the following receptors:
- Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB), maximum 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> dose
- Outer boundary of the Low Population Zone (LPZ), 30 day dose (8 hr for secondary side transport)
- Control Room, 30 day dose (24 hr for secondary side transport)
The AST defined in Reference 5 is used. The HABIT code (Reference 6) and HABIT nuclide data base described in Section 4.2 are used. Ten percent of the core is assumed to fail. This is based on a Ginna specific calculation (Reference 3, Section 15.4.5.3.5). The release fraction used in the analysis is the product of the core damage, the peaking factor, and the gap fraction. The input parameters are listed on Table 10.1.
10.1 Containment Leakage The containment leakage calculation assumes the gas activity is instantaneously released from the core to containment atmosphere. No credit is taken for removal of elemental or methyl iodine by the CRFC charcoal filters. The CRFCs only remove particulate iodine by the associated HEPA filters. The CRFCs are assumed to be operating at 53 seconds based on a 3 inch SBLOCA. The CRFCs are arbitrarily terminated after four hours since there is no longer a significant particulate concentration.
Containment spray is assumed not to actuate for the REA. Particulate removal is assumed by natural deposition. The removal coefficient is based on the correlations provided in Reference 8, Table 2.2.2.1-1. The first is for the time period 0 to 0.5 hr and the second is for 0.5 to 1.8 hr. The 10th percentile is the most conservative (smallest removal rate) and is used in this calculation. Only the smallest value is used and is held constant for the duration of the calculation.
10.2 Primary-to-Secondary Leakage The initial reactor coolant iodine activity is based on a pre-accident spike discussed in Section 3.2. The concentrations are based on 60j1Ci/gm of DE I-131. The noble gas activity is based on 1% fuel defects. Gap (10% failed fuel rods) activity is released instantaneously and homogeneously mixed in the reactor coolant. The activity release Summary of Radiological Analyses, 5/03 Page 65 of 81
fraction is the product of core damage, the peaking factor, and gap fraction.
The initial secondary coolant iodine activity is based on 0. ti of DE 1-13 1.
The assumed post-accident primary-to-secondary leak rate is 500 gal/day per SG. This bounds the current limit of 144 gpd/SG and a future Technical Specification limit of 150 gpd/SG.
A partition coefficient of 100 is assumed for elemental iodine in the secondary coolant. No partitioning is assumed for organic iodine or noble gas. No particulates are assumed to be released to the atmosphere with the secondary side steam.
The steam release from the SGs is based on a LOFTRAN simulation of the REA followed by an energy balance to simulate the cooldown to RHR conditions. RHR system is assumed to be placed into service for heat removal 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> after the initiation of the REA.
Initially the Control Room HVAC is operating normally with a nominal 2000 cfm of makeup air. Isolation is assumed to occur at 60 sec. via the radiation monitors. A comparison of the nuclide concentration in the Control Room intake for the REA to the radiation monitor response showed a Control Room isolation signal would occur before the 60 sec. assumed in the calculations. CREATS is assumed operating at 70 sec. assuming a nominal 6000 cfm recirculation flow.

11.0 Tornado Missile in Spent Fuel Pool 11l .1 This calculation determines the offsite and Control Room doses (TEDE) for a tornado missile accident (TMA). The analysis uses the alternate source term and accompanying TEDE methodology and conservative Control Room X/Q values calculated as discussed in Section 2.7.
The AST defined in Reference 5 is used. The HABIT code (Reference 6) and HABIT nuclide data base as discussed in Section 4.2 are used. The analysis assumes 9 fuel assemblies are damaged (5 fuel assemblies decayed for 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> and four fuel assemblies decayed for 60 days) based on the size of a telephone pole missile. The nuclide inventory in the damaged assemblies is estimated by applying a power peaking factor of 1.75 to the average assembly inventory. Activity from the damaged assemblies is assumed to be instantaneously released to the pool water. After applying decontamination factors of the pool water, the resulting elemental and organic fractions above the water are 0.57 and 0.43. The activity above the pool is assumed to be released to the environment. No iodine removal is assumed. Reference 5 suggests using a two-hour activity release. Since the duration of the tornado is uncertain, and may be less than two hours, two cases were run.
Case 1) All activity was released over two hours. The activity released over the first hour was at tornado conditions. The activity released over the second hour was at normal atmospheric conditions.
Case 2) All activity was released over one hour at tornado conditions. Case 2 resulted in slightly higher Control Room doses.
The TMA dose analysis assumptions are listed on Table 1l.l. The activity released from the pool is listed on Table 11.5. The Control Room assumptions are listed on Table 11.2. The Control Room is assumed to be isolated within 60 seconds via the radiation monitors. A comparison of the nuclide concentration in the Control Room intake for the TMA to the radiation monitor response showed a Control Room isolation signal would occur before the 60 seconds assumed in the calculation. The resulting doses are presented on Table 11.4. Since the release from the TMA is assumed to end after one or two hours, the dose calculations are terminated after all contributions are accounted for; 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for EAB and 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for the Control Room.

12.0 Waste Gas Decay Tank Rupture 12.1 Analysis This analysis calculates the Control Room and off-site doses for a release of a Gas Decay Tank (GDT) into the Auxiliary Building Atmosphere 12.2 Assumptions The source term is 100,000 Ci of equivalent Xe-133. The assumed source will be 100,000 Ci of actual Xe-133.
Activity, from the ruptured tank, is released to the environment over 2-hours. The flow rate, corresponding to a 2-hour activity release, is calculated in Section 7.1.6.
The 2-hour activity release assumption is consistent with that of the Fuel Handling Accident.
Activity from the ruptured tank is released into the Auxiliary Building and assumed to diffuse from the building to the environment. The Control Room dose calculation will use x/Qs for the Auxiliary Building area source.
The dose conversion factor for Xe-133, contained in HABIT library MLWR1465.pwr, will be used. The DCF values in this library were derived from FGR 11 and 12.

Attachment 2 Summary of Control Room Toxic Hazards Analysis
Toxic Gas Evaluation Summary CREATS/AST Submittal Ginna Station Design Analysis DA-NS-2000-053, Control Room Toxic Gas Hazards Analysis, was performed to evaluate toxins that could threaten Control Room Habitability and, where appropriate, calculate the worst case substance concentrations within the Control Room. A Control Room in-leakage of 300 CFM is assumed after isolation, consistent with the radioactive dose analysis assumption.
The following toxins were evaluated:
. Ammonia
. Chlorine
- Sodium Hypochlorite
. Halon
- Refrigerant R-22
- Carbon Dioxide
- Other Miscellaneous chemicals Summary of Analyses &
Conclusions:
1.0 HABIT Computer analyses Peak ammonia, chlorine, and sodium hypochlorite concentrations were calculated using the EXTRAN and CHEM codes from the HABIT package that is described in NUREG/CR-621 0, PNL-1 0496; "Computer Codes for Evaluation of Control Room Habitability". All three calculations used the following inputs:
- Storage temperature: assumed ambient and conservatively high; 100°F / 400C
- Ground Temperature: conservatively assumed same as air, 100°F I 400C
- Air Temperature: 100°F / 40°C
- Wind speed: I m / second
- Atmospheric Stability Class: F
- Atmospheric Pressure: 14.7 psia / 760 mmHg
- Solar Radiation: 1050 w/m2
- Cloud Cover: 10 tenths Assumed value. Increased cloud cover maximizes the solar flux. The maximum value for cloud cover is 10.
- Release height = 0 m (ground puddle assumed)
- Intake height = 5.8m
- Unfiltered outside air is assumed to flow into the Control Room at the maximum rate of 2200 CFM for 30 seconds before Control Room Emergency Zone (CREZ) isolation occurs. Either of two redundant chlorine monitors in the outside air intake will isolate the CREZ and reduce the unfiltered air inflow to a maximum of 300 CFM for the duration of the event.

1.1 Ammonia analysis using HABIT The 4000 gallon ammonium hydroxide tank is located outside, on the north side of the Turbine Building, at ground elevation 253'. The Control Building (and it's outside air intake) is located 200' away on the south side of the Turbine building. The outside air intake is located at elevation 315' and the roof line of the Turbine building, which intervenes between the source and the intake, is at elevation of 361'. In addition to the HABIT inputs described above, inputs used specifically for the ammonia analysis are as follows:
- Initial mass of ammonium hydroxide = 13,600 kg, S.G. = 0.9
- Maximum pool radius = 2.74m
- Distance to intake = 60m
- Building area (for most conservative wake effect)= 24m2 Results: The peak ammonia concentration in the Control Room was 31.9 g/m3 ,
which is less than the 210 mg/im3 limit found in Regulatory Guide 1.78, Rev. 1, December 2001. The 21 0-mg/m 3 limit would be reached if unfiltered in-leakage to the Control Room increased to 16,000 CFM, which greatly exceeds the total outside airflow into the Control Room (normally
- 2000 CFM).
1.2 Chlorine analysis using HABIT Approximately 1.1 miles east of Ginna Station is a water treatment plant that uses two 2000 lb tanks of liquefied chlorine to treat lake water for distribution through the Ontario water system. The analysis assumes catastrophic failure of 1 tank. In addition to the HABIT inputs described above, inputs used specifically for the chlorine analysis are as follows:
- Initial mass of chlorine = 908 kg
- Distance to intake = 1770m
- The analysis assumes catastrophic failure of 1 tank.
Results: The peak chlorine concentration in the Control Room was 18.2 mg/im3 , which is less than the 30 mg/m 3 limit found in Regulatory Guide 1.78, Rev. 1, dated December 2001. The 30-mg/m 3 limit would be reached if unfiltered in-leakage to the Control Room increased to 500 CFM.
1.3 Sodium Hypochlorite analysis using HABIT Approximately 310' due north of the Control Room is a non-pressurized plastic tank containing 2500 gallons of 16% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI). The tank is at ground elevation 253', and the Control Room outside air intake is at elevation 313'. The Turbine Building intervenes between the tank and the intake. It is immediately to the Page 2 of 5
north of the outside air intake, with its roof at elevation 360'. The NaOCI tank is inside of al 6' square concrete dike that would limit the size of a spill or rupture. In addition to the HABIT inputs described above, inputs used specifically for the NaOCL analysis are as follows:
- Initial mass of sodium hypochlorite = 11,500 kg, S.G. = 1.218
- Maximum pool radius = 2.74m
- Distance to intake = 94.5 m
- Building area (for most conservative wake effect)= 24m2 Results: Sodium Hypochlorite located onsite at Ginna is located far from the Control Room and is quite stable. The worst case calculated concentration of sodium hypochlorite outside of the Control Room was less than 0.0004 mg/m 3 and thus considered a negligible threat to Control Room habitability.
2.0 Halon toxin assessment Halon is used for fire suppression in the Relay Room located one level below the Control Room. There are no other sources of Halon that could threaten Control Room habitability. At one time the Relay Room contained a smaller MUX room which was protected by a separate halon system; discharge testing of these two halon systems yielded concentrations of 6.4% in the Relay Room and 8.5% in the MUX room (volume concentrations, measured at three locations in each room).
These rooms and their halon systems have since been combined into a single zone whose total volume is almost identical to the CREZ volume. In the worst case scenario of thoroughly mixing the entire halon inventory between the Relay and Control Rooms, the 6.4% and 8.4% values would be cut in half. The diluted concentration would be less than the 5% exposure limit recommended in NUREG/CR-5669; "Evaluation of Exposure Limits to Toxic Gases for Nuclear Reactor Control Room Operators" Results: The Relay Room halon system is not considered a threat to CREZ habitability, and there are no other sources of halon that could threaten Control Room habitability. The worst case scenario does not exceed acceptable limits, and that scenario is conservative because the Relay Room and CREZ HVAC systems are not directly connected, and because two normally closed doors separate the CREZ from the Relay Room. Thus, it would be highly unlikely for the entire halon inventory to thoroughly mix between the Relay and Control Rooms.

3.0 Refrigerant R-22 toxin assessment RG&E established a conservative exposure limit of 3000 PPM for not more than 30 minutes, and never to exceed 5000 PPM. This limit is more conservative than the 42,000 PPM limit found in ANSI/ASHRAE Std. 15, and was proposed by RG&E to NRC staff in a meeting held 2/28/2001 at NRC offices in Rockford, MD. As documented in the NRC's summary letter dated 3/21/2001, this limit was considered conservative and acceptable.
The analysis conservatively assumes that a single coil ruptures and immediately releases that cooling circuit's entire inventory into the CREZ.
CREZ volume is 36,211 ft3.
R-22 has a vapor density of 2.76 (air =1). Air at 700 F & 50% RH has a density of approximately 0.073 lb/ft3, making the density of R-22 equal to: 0.073 X 2.76 = 0.20 lb/ft3, and the specific volume of 5.0 ft3 /lb.
Results: Each new CREATS cooling system circuit will contain < 29.0 lbs of R-22.
This design limit will prevent exposure above limits of 3000 PPM for no more than 30 minutes, and never to exceed 5000 PPM.
4.0 Carbon dioxide assessment C02 was considered in accordance with Standard Review Plan section 6.4, paragraph 111-2. The latest Revision I of Regulatory Guide 1.78 indicates an IDLH value of 4% by volume for C02. RG&E used a more conservative 2% limit.
Air normally contains 0.0314% carbon dioxide; thus every ft3 of air can absorb 0.0197 ft3 of C02 before reaching the 2% limit.
The only source of C02 in the CREZ is occupant respiration, which was conservatively assumed equal to 2.20 cubic foot/man-hour. Discharge of portable fire extinguisher(s) is not considered because accident analysis does not require postulating a fire in the Control Room concurrent with a radiological event that requires Control Room isolation.
Vapor density of C02 is 1.53 (air =1). Air at 70°F & 50% RH has a density of approximately 0.073 lb/ft 3, making the density of C02 equal to: 0.073 X 1.53 = 0.112 lb/ft3.
Results: Carbon dioxide is not considered a threat to CREZ habitability because:
- 1) Assuming zero in-leakage, 320 man-hours would pass before C02 levels rise to the 2% limit. A long-term uncontrolled release requiring a continuous CREZ isolation longer than 320 man-hours is a very low probability event.
Page 4 of 5
- 2) In-leakage of less than 2.0 CFM/occupant will offset C02 generation and preclude the buildup of C02 -to an unacceptable level. Ginna does not, by design or control, admit unfiltered air into the Control Room when isolated in the emergency mode of operation, but it is likely that at least 2.0 CFM /occupant leaks into the Control Room. This inleakage will offset C02 generation and preclude the buildup of C02 to an unacceptable level. In addition, RG&E has the capability to monitor C02 levels in the long term, should it become necessary.
5.0 Assessment of Other chemicals Other chemicals used onsite were inspected and are not considered a threat to Control Room habitability because of their volume, volatility, and/or their location relative to the Control Room's outside air intake. These chemicals include:
- Sulfuric acid at 95%; <6000 gallons in a non-pressurized tank that is located within a dike, inside of the AVT building, 100' north of the Control Building.
- Sodium hydroxide at 50%; 6000 gallons in a non-pressurized tank that is located within a dike, inside of the AVT building, 100' north of the Control Building.
- Sodium hydroxide at 30%, <5100 gallons in a tank located in the Auxiliary Building basement. That tank is equipped with a low pressure nitrogen blanket.
- Hydrazine at 35%, two 30 gallon drums located in the northeast corner of the Turbine Building, middle level. Drums are kept in a secondary container and/or berm that will limit the spread of a spill.
- ETA (Monoethanolamine CAS # 141-43-5) at 40%, two 350 gallon tanks located in the northeast corner of the Turbine Building basement. Each tank has a low pressure nitrogen blanket and bermed tank holders, which would contain any leakage within the stand on which the tank rests.
6.0 Smoke assessment Smoke and fire were considered and their impact upon Control Room habitability is described in section 6.4.4.3 of the draft UFSAR description (attachment #8 of the License Amendment Request).
