EP-AD-000-1 12, Revision 21, Page 7 of 40

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2 NOTE (1): MIDAS assumes the reactor must be shutdown before a release can occur. The TRIP DATE triggers the start of decay for the accident mix.

NOTE (2): Even during an ATWS, where a release is in progress and the reactor has not shut down, a TRIP DATE must be entered to run MIDAS. It is recommended the same date and time for the START OF RELEASE be used for the TRIP DATE. Entering a date and time for reactor trip has no impact on decay of the ATWS mix.

b. On Line 2, select START OF RELEASE. Using the calendar wheel, enter the appropriate date and time of the start of release. CONFIRM to close the calendar wheel.
1) If START NEW SCENARIO was selected-4he START OF RELEASE dateltime entered should be the current dateltime at which you are starting the calculation.

SUMMARY

SHEET

1. CALCULATION TYPE Menu option chosen for the calculation. Examples are Forward Calculation or Event Tree Calculation.
2. CURRENT TIME PERIOD Current meteorological time period used for dose projections provided on quarter hour increments to match met spreadsheet entries.
3. WEATHER CONDITIONS Meteorological data (wind speed, wind direction, affectedLsector, stability class, and precipitation rate) used for the summary report dose projections.
4. REACTOR SHUTDOWN TIME Date and time of reactor shutdown.
5. RELEASE START TIME This is the date and time of first dose calculation as indicated by the first positive vent release rate value entered on the vent data spreadsheet or if the vent spreadsheet is not used, the date and time of the calculation..

NOTE: For MENU C: EVENT TREE NUREG-1228 CALCULATIONS, MENU D: DEFAULT CALCULATIONS, and MENU E-W: BACK CALCULATIONS, it is conservatively assumed that the date and time of reactor shutdown is concurrent with the start of release.

6. PROJECTION TIME This is the time X hours into the future, starting from the beginning of the current meteorological time period. WXis the number of hours the user chooses as the projection time (e.g., 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />).
7. REMAINING DURATION This is the remaining duration of the release for the calculation type chosen.

8. SOURCE TERM (for Forward and Back Calculations)

Identifies the source term used for the current dose projection summary report calculations. Choice of six options:

ATWS-Normal Reactor Coolant Activity (UNDECAYED)

  • (LOCA) Coolant Activity Leak with Depressurization Spike-No Fuel Damage
  • (LOCA) Cladding Failure-Gap Release
  • (LOCA) Fuel Melt-Early In-Vessel Release
  • Fuel Handling Accident
9. RELEASE CONDITIONS This section lists the release rates used in the calculation. The values are taken from user input for Forward calculations, inferred from user input of event conditions (Event Tree, Default, and Blowout Panel calculations, or inferred from user input of measured data in the field (Back calculations).
10. Content of this section varies by Calculation Type. The objective is to provide information about the assumptions used to infer the Release Conditions for the calculation or to provide additional information about the Release Conditions.

For Forward Calculations, isotopic release ratios are provided. These may be compared to default ratios and used to infer plant conditions, for example, status of filtration.

For Event Tree, Default, and Blowout Panel Calculations, event or default conditions are listed. From those conditions, Release Conditions are inferred.

For Back Calculations, measured field data are listed. From those data, Release Conditions are inferred.

11. DOSE RATE PROJECTIONS This table provides the TEDE, EDE, and THYROID CDE dose rates calculated at the OSCAR and EPB distances. These rate calculations are based on a variable projection/integration period for the current affected sector or peak sector (the usual user selection).

EP-AD-000-1 12, Revision 21, Page 30 of 40

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2

12. INTEGRATED DOSE PROJECTIONS This table provides a TEDE and THYROID CDE dose projection calculated at the EPB, 2-mile, and 10-mile distances for varying projection times. The projection time will appear in the header line e.g., 4 HOUR INTEGRATED DOSE PROJECTION. The sector designation for this dose projection is based on the maximum calculated dose determined from all sixteen sectors for the given projection time (peak sector option, usually the user's choice) or the calculated dose for the current affected sector. Information for distances between 10 and 50 miles is available using the 'More Reports" feature.
13. PERFORMED/APPROVED The sign-off for calculation results is done for documentation purposes. The intended "approval" does not necessarily mean an independent verification of each input to the calculation but more an interactive discussion between the RPC/HP Level II Dose Calculator and/or DASU/DAST (or dose calculator) to ensure the calculated results are reasonable based on current plant and environmental information.

This sign-off process should occur before the calculated results are used for any emergency classification determinations or protective action recommendations.

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2 H. INFORMATION FOR DISTANCES BETWEEN 10 AND 50 MILES

1. From the MIDAS DOSE ASSESSMENT

SUMMARY

SHEET screen, select CONTINUE and, on the next page, MORE REPORTS.

2. Select TEDE 4-DAY DOSE REPORT or THYROID CDE DOSE REPORT, depending on which PAR guide has been exceeded at the 10-mile distance.
3. On the REPORT PARAMETER SELECTION screen, select PROJECTION TIME until the appropriate PROJECTION TIME (0.25,4, 6, or 9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />) is displayed on the screen; then select CONFIRM.

NOTE: The 0.25-hour projection time should be used with extreme caution. Projected doses can be substantially underestimated.

4. The screen will now display projected doses at the EPB and at 2, 5,10, 25, and 50 miles. To obtain finer increments of distance, select CONTINUE until the desired range of distances is displayed.

NOTE: An objective is to determine the approximate distance from the plant at which dose projections are less than 1 rem TEDE and 5 rem THYROID CDE. A PAR is then likely to be issued to the next furthest 5-mile distance increment from the plant.

Example: A PAR for distances to 30 miles may be selected if projected doses become less than the PAG values (1 rem TEDE, 5 rem THYROID CDE) between 25 and 30 miles from the plant -

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2 ACCIDENT DESCRIPTIONS DEFAULT ACCIDENT DESCRIPTIONS (MENU B AND MENU D)

1. NORMAL REACTOR COOLANT ACTIVITY This accident scenario is defined as the release of reactor coolant system liquid and steam activity from the primary coolant system with no damage to the fuel and no activity spiking. The source term for this accident is normal reactor coolant system liquid and steam activity.
2. LOCA (RX DP-NO FD)

This accident scenario is defined as the release of reactor coolant system liquid and steam activity from the primary coolant system. Depiessurization of the primary coolant system is assumed, resulting in an activity spike in the reactor coolant. The source term for this accident is normal reactor coolant liquid and steam activity plus the depressurization activity spike. There is no fuel damage.

3. LOCA (CLAD FAILURE)

This accident scenario is defined as a Loss-of-Coolant Accident which results in damage to the reactor fuel cladding. The source term for this accident is'normal reactor coolant liquid and steam activity and a percentage of the activity in the fuel clad gap. For Menu D calculations, that percentage is entered as part of the calculation process. For Menu B calculations, the valid vent data entered define the severity of the event.

4. LOCA (FUEL MELT)

This accident scenario is defined as a Loss-of-Coolant Accident which results in damage to the reactor fuel. The source term for this accident is normal reactor coolant liquid and steam activity and a percentage of the activity in the reactor fuel. For Menu D calculations, that percentage is entered as part of the calculation process. For Menu B calculations, the valid vent data entered define the severity of the event.

5. FUEL HANDLING ACCIDENT This accident scenario is defined as a fuel handling accident which results in the release of spent fuel activity. The source term for this accident is spent fuel gap activity assuming a decay time after shutdown of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2

6. ATWS This accident scenario is used for releases from a reactor unit continuing to operate at or greater than 10% power. The source term for this accident is normal reactor coolant system liquid and steam activity. The source term is undecayed; that is, no reactor trip is assumed to have occurred.

NOTE (1): For Menu D calculations, design basis assumptions are utilized.

For example, design basis leakage rates are assumed and iodine filtration efficiency of 99% is assumed in those pathways for which filters are in place.

NOTE (2): The source term for Menu D accident types is fixed. Release rate is calculated by MIDAS by dividing the total activity released by a predetermined release duration (6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> for all but fuel handling accidents, for which release duration is 2 heurs).

NUREG 1228 EVENT TREE ACCIDENT TYPES (MENU C)

1. LOCA - DRYWELL RELEASE This accident is a Loss-of-Coolant Accident with an activity release into the drywell which bypasses the suppression pool for which filtration of activity'by the Standby Gas Treatment System takes place before release to the environment.
2. LOCA - WETWELL RELEASE This accident is a Loss-of-Coolant Accident with an activity release through the suppression pool for which filtration of activity by the Standby Gas Treatment System takes place before release to the environment.
3. LOCA- CONTAINMENT BYPASS RELEASE This accident is a Loss-of-Coolant Accident with an activity release to the environment that bypasses the containment and the Standby Gas Treatment System.
4. ZIRCALLOY FIRE IN ONE THREE MONTH OLD BATCH This accident is a zircalloy fire in spent fuel that results in an activity release similar to a core melt. It assumes that the activity is filtered by the Standby Gas Treatment System prior to release.

Tab 2 EP-PS-249-2

5. SPENT FUEL GAP RELEASE This accident is a release of fuel gap activity from the spent fuel pool with treatment by the Standby Gas Treatment System prior to release.

NOTE: Menu C (from NUREG-1228 Event Tree Analyses) is used to relatively quickly provide a bounding estimate of offsite dose, for situations where there are substantial uncertainties in prediction of source term and any resultant doses.
