The purpose of this analysis is to determine the off-site and Main Control Room dose consequences due to a DBA-LOCA utilizing the Alternate Source Term dose methodology prescribed in NUREG-1465 and Regulatory Guide 1.183. The original analysis assumed a number of relaxations from the current Technical Specification requirements. This revision will assume the elimination of the Annulus Mixing System and the increase in the assumed MSIV leakage.
CONCLUSION:
This analysis demonstrates that the dose consequences due to a DBA-LOCA will not exceed the criteria set forth in IOCFR50.67.
Specifically, the off-site dose consequences (EAB and LPZ) will be less than 25 REM TEDE, and the doses to main control room operators will not exceed 5 REM TEDE.

-= RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 10 OF 71 ENTERGY 1 PURPOSE The NRC has recently developed regulatory guidance utilizing the Alternate Source Term (AST) dose methodology. AST uses more realistic assumptions in determining the potential dose consequences from design basis accidents. In support of this effort the NRC has recently issued Regulatory Guide 1.183 which provides assumptions and guidance in analyzing accidents wvith AST. The purpose of this evaluation is to determine Design Basis - Loss of Coolant Accident doses using the AST dose methodology and demonstrate that all Regulatory Limits will be met.

3 ASSUMPTIONS 3.1 Single Failure Assumption This analysis will assume a single active failure of an Emergency Diesel Generator and a complete Loss of Off-site Power (LOP).
3.2 Fuel Damage This analysis assumes a 121 second delay prior to fuel damage commencing based on Reference 11.5. Note that this short decay time will not be directly credited. However, the time may be used to off-set the timing of some elements in the AST analysis.
3.3 Containment Purge Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.8 states that if the containment is routinely purged during power operations then releases prior to containment isolation should be analyzed and the resulting doses summed with the postulated doses from the other release paths. RBS does routinely vent containment during normal operations, however, a rigorous analysis is not warranted due to several factors. First, containment purges are filtered by either HVR-FLT6 (non-safety related) for normal purge and by the SGTS filter train for high volume purges. Also, control logic closes the containment and drywell purge isolation valves on a containment isolation signal, and the purge system remains locked out for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> following the isolation signal. Finally, Reference 1.9 performed an analysis of a "puff release" of the reactor coolant to the atmosphere. If it is conservatively assumed that the purge remains in affect for I minute (valve stroke time is 3 seconds), only -1% of the containment volume would be released by a high volume purge and the resulting doses are estimated to be <10 mrem TEDE which is clearly bounded by the conservative assumptions used in this analysis (such as assuming two single active failures rather than the one required per regulations).
3.4 Main Control Room Fresh Air System Initiation This analysis assumes that the MCRFA system is manually initiated, thus, there is a 20 minute delay in crediting filtration.
Currently the system would actually be initiated via either a LOCA signal (RPV Level 2 or high drywell pressure) or a HI-HI radiation signal from the MCR main air intake radiation monitors. Also, it should be noted that the system will auto-initiate in emergency mode following a LOP.
3.5 Air Volume Mixing This analysis will credit 50% of the auxiliary building volume consistent with SRP 6.5.3 and Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 4.4. The auxiliary building has a number of unit coolers which provide a flow which would mix different room volumes. Also, SGTS is balanced such that it takes suction from a number of different points in the auxiliary building. If a leak was somewhat localized then mixing would occur in the SGTS itself as only a fraction of the total SGTS flow would come from the localized area. This 50% mixing assumption is consistent with the methodology which was previously approved by the NRC (this assumption was inherent in the original licensing basis analysis and the analyses developed to support Amendments 98,110, 113, and 114).
Previous to this revision, the RBS design included the Annulus Mixing System which provided mixing of the shield building annulus and the 50% mixing assumption allowed by Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 4.4 was used for the vc
,I annulus. In this design, suction from the annulus to SGTS was from the annulus mixing system. The annulus mixing system tell
.11 removed from the RBS de~sign via frr'.e I.3;,-thus there is no forced mixing of the annulus. Regulatory Guide o
.aZ $1.183, Appendix A, Section 4.4 states that wvhen there is no mixing, the leakage should be assumed to be transported directly to the exhaust system without mixing. However, the annulus mixing system ductwork will not be removed, thus the SGTS suction will be through the annulus mixing system suction and discharge ducts. A review of the duct drawings (References 1.36, 1.37, 1.38, 1.39, 1.40, 1.41, 1.42, 1.43, 1.44, 1.45, and 1.46) indicates that with the annulus mixing fans not powered, the suction for SGTS will be distributed about the annulus suggesting some mixing will take place. Therefore, minimal credit will be taken for mixing in the annulus by setting the annulus volume to 1.0 fl3. An informal sensitivity study indicates the calculated doses do not change for annulus volumes in the range of 1.0 to 10e flt3 . Below this range numerical instabilities are observed in RADTRAD.

-=- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 13 OF 71 ENTERGY I 3.6 Containmcnt Leakage Rate (L,)
The containment leakage rate (L,) is assumed to be 0.325% per day. This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference I.30).
3.7 Secondary Containment Bypass (SCB) Leakage Rate This analysis will assume a SCB leakage rate of 580,000 cc/hr at Pa. Note that since containment pressure is the driving force for this leakage, it will be reduced at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> consistent with the containment leakage. This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference 1.30).
3.8 Annulus Bypass Leakage Rate Annulus bypass leakage was a subset of L. which is not released to the annulus. Originally, 13,500 cc/hr (at P.) was allowed per Technical Specification 3.6.1.3.12. However, sensitivity studies (Reference I.9) indicate that off-site and main control room dose is insensitive to this contributor when it is filtered. For example, increasing the annulus bypass from 13,500 cc/hr to -65,000 cc/hr yielded an increase of <1%. Therefore, annulus bypass will not be modeled in this analysis. This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference [.30).
3.9 MISIV Leakage A RELAP model was developed for the previous LOCA dose evaluation (Reference 1.1) and it demonstrated that the pressure in the volume between the valves after they close remains significantly greater than RPV and drywell pressure for more than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. This model was not updated for power uprate conditions, however, it easily supports the assumption that the volume M'ill remain above P. for at least 25 minutes. Therefore no leakage will be assumed for lines in which both isolation valves close.
Failure of one MSIV will be assumed resulting in MSIV leakage prior to the MS-PLCS system becoming fully operational.
Note that this constitutes a second "single active failure" since failure of a EDG is already assumed. This is assumed since for some doses the EDG failure is bounding and others the MSIV failure may be bounding. Assuming both conservatively bounds both scenarios and exceeds regulatory requirements. The single leaking MSIV will be assumed to leak at the 150 scih value specified for all valves specified in Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.3.10.
3.10 Engineering Safety Feature Leakage Regulatory Guide 1.183 states that "The [Engineered Safety Features (ESF)] leakage should be taken as two times the sum of all of the simultaneous leakage from all components in the ESF recirculation systems above which ... would require declaring such systems INOPERABLE." RBS has historically assumed 60 gph leakage based on NUREG-0989 which states that 60 gph "represents the largest flow that could plausibly exist over the duration of the accident without discovery and isolation of the source." This analysis will assume 60 gph for ESF leakage. This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference I.30).
3.11 Suppression Pool Scrubbing Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.5 states that suppression pool scrubbing generally should not be credited.
Therefore, this analysis will not credit SP scrubbing.
3.12 Suppression Pool pH The chemical fractions used in this analysis inherently assume no iodine re-evolution from the suppression pool. Calculation GI3.18.14.0*196-0 demonstrates that injection via the SLCS tank will buffer the suppression pool to ensure that the pH remains above 7, which is the limit for iodine re-evolution per Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Reference 11.3).
3.13 SGTS Initiation Per the current design SGTS will auto-start on a LOCA signal. However, this analysis will assume manual initiation of the SGTS system at 20 minutes into the event.

,N =--Y RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 14 OF 71 ENTERGY This analysis will assume that SGTS is balanced such that there is no recirculation. This maximizes the flow from the auxiliary building and the annulus and subsequently to the environs. In reality the system is currently balanced such that there is recirculation. Specifically, MAI #316759 (Reference 1.26) documents measured flow rates of 6,591 cfm for the auxiliary building and 753 cfm for the annulus as compared to the design flow rates of 10,000 cfm and 2,500 cfm (Reference 1.31) assumed for the auxiliary building and annulus, respectively.
3.15 Main Steam Positive Leakage Control System Initiation MS-PLCS is assumed to be initiated 20 minutes into the event. An additional 5 minutes is credited for the system to become fully operational. Note that this is consistent with the original and current design/licensing basis of the plant.
3.16 Secondary Containment Positive Pressure Period (PPP)
The current design of the SGTS is to initiate on a LOCA signal or a high annulus radiation signal (Reference 1.31). This analysis will assume manual initiation of the SGTS system at 20 minutes into the event. Assuming an additional 10 minutes for the drawdown of secondary containment, the resulting PPP is 30 minutes. Note that the 30 minute PPP was confirmed in References 1.8 and 1.24 which calculated PPP of <1300 seconds for the Shield Building Annulus and the Auxiliary Building.
This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference 1.30).
3.17 Mlain Control Room IIVAC Volume The Control Room volume used in this analysis will conservatively neglect the volume of the HVAC handling area.
3.18 Main Control Room Fresh Air System Initiation River Bend Station has dual air intakes which may be manually selected in the Main Control Room. SRP 6.4 allows the more favorable X/Q to be reduced by a factor of 4 to account for the fact that the operators would select the most favorable air intake. Previous analyses conservatively assumed an "operator action" to initiate the change to the more favorable intake.
Therefore, no credit was taken in the LOCA dose analysis until 20 minutes into the event. However, further review indicates that this was an overly conservative assumption, therefore, this analysis will credit SRP 6.4 from the onset of the event. This has been accepted by the NRC (Reference 1.30).
3.19 Mlain Control Room Fresh Air System Emergency Charcoal Filter Initiation This analysis will assume manual initiation of the main control room fresh air system (MCRFA) emergency charcoal filters at 20 minutes.
3.20 Alain Control Room Inleakage and System Flow Rates This analysis will assume the following flow rates:
- Unfiltered Leakage Flow Rate: 300 cfm
- Filtered Suction Flow Rate: 1,700 cfm
- Discharge Flow Rate: 2,000 cfm
- Recirculation Flow Rate: 2,000 cfm Note that filtered suction flow is less than the design flow rate of 2,000 cfm (Reference 1.32). This is necessary to ensure that the assumed inlet and outlet flows are balanced (i.e., the sum of the unfiltered leakage and filtered suction flow equals the discharge flow). These assumptions are more conservative than assuming that the intake remains 2000 cfm with an additional 300 cfm inleakage due to the fact that assuming an additional 300 cfm inleakage warrants the addition of 300 cfm to the discharge flow. Under those assumptions (2000 cfm filtered intake, 300 cfm unfiltered, and 2300 cfm discharge) the additional discharge purges the MCR at a faster rate which results in lower calculated MCR doses.

4 METHODOLOGY This analysis will utilize the computer code RADTRAD v. 3.02 which was developed by Sandia National Labs for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This code was developed to support AST. The code allows for up to 10 nodes and 25 flow paths. Reference 1.9 developed and benchmarked a RBS specific LOCA model consistent with the model which was approved via Technical Specification Amendment 98. AST assumptions were then applied to the model and a number of sensitivity studies were performed in an effort to determine the potential applications of AST.
Three separate models are used in this calculation. The first model is intended to determine the dose consequences from leakage from primary and secondary containment. The second model will determine the dose consequences due to secondary containment bypass and MSIV leakage. Finally, the third file wvill determine the dose consequences from liquid leakage from ECCS equipment (ESF leakage).

5 SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONS 5.1 Pressure Suppression Containment The RBS containment building is designed to limit fission product leakage during and following a postulated design basis accident to values less than the leakage rates which would result in offsite doses greater than the exposure limits set forth in 10 CFR 100. The design containment leak rate was established during initial plant licensing. The primary considerations were reactor power level, site characteristics and meteorology, iodine removal capability, and offsite dose assessment.
The Mark III pressure suppression containment system consists of a drywell, a vapor suppression pool, and a primary containment building. The reinforced concrete cylindrical drywell structure houses the reactor system. The primary containment structure encloses the drywell and the suppression pool which fills the bottom 20 ft of the annular volume outside the drywell. The basic design concept of the pressure suppression containment is to direct any primary system leakage through the drywell vent system into the suppression pool where the steam is condensed. This design limits pressurization of the containment.
Dr~yell The RBS drywell is designed to maintain its structural integrity during and following any postulated LOCA including the worst single failure in conjunction with a loss of offsite power and a safe shutdown earthquake. The drywell is designed to limit the energy and fission product transfer to the containment by directing the flow from postulated pipe ruptures through the suppression pool. The drywell design pressure is 25 psid and the design temperature is 330 0F. During a DBA-LOCA, primary system leakage is directed through the horizontal vent system into the suppression pool. The allowable drywell bypass leakage is based on the amount of steam bypass which can be allowed without exceeding the containment design pressure of 15 psig. The allowable leakage is expressed in terms of the flow parameter A/fi/i where A is the flow area of the leakage path and K is the geometric and friction loss coefficient (unitless).
Containment Building The primary containment structure is a free-standing steel cylinder with a torispherical dome. It serves both as a suppression chamber and as a leak-tight vapor barrier to protect against release of fission products in the unlikely event of a LOCA.
Penetrations through the containment building are protected by either primary containment isolation valves (PCIV) or primary containment isolation dampers (PCID). Typically the penetrations have redundant isolation valves. The penetrations are tested in accordance 5 ith industry standards to demonstrate that that the containment building's overall leakage rate meets the design values.
Note that several subsets of the PCIVs are not considered to be contributors to L,. Specifically, the Main Steam Lines (MSL) are currently protected by a Main Steam - Positive Valve Leakage Control System (MSPLCS). This system eliminates leakage to the environment through the MSL by pressurizing the volume between isolation valves to greater than P., and thus, MSIV leakage need not be considered as part of La. The second set of valves which are not considered in L, are the secondary containment bypass valves. These valves serve primary containment penetrations which completely bypass secondary containment, thus, any releases through these lines would be directly to the environment rather than to the secondary containment buildings. Previously any potential releases through these valves would have been eliminated by the Penetration Valve Leakage Control System (PVLCS) which operated similar to MSPLCS, thus, it was initially not considered as a contributor to L. The secondary containment bypass leakage is limited to 580,000 cc/hr per Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 3.6.1.3.9 (Reference 11.7).
Suppression Pool The suppression pool is designed as a passive means of removing blowdown energy resulting from a postulated design basis LOCA. The main portion of the suppression pool volume is in the bottom of the containment between the outer surface of the drywell wall and the inner surface of the steel containment structure. As discussed previously, following a DBA-LOCA the primary system leakage is directed through the horizontal vent system into the suppression pool. The horizontal vents consist of 129 vent pipes directed radially through the lower portion of the drywell wall. The vents are spaced uniformly

around the drywell circumference at three elevations. There are 43 vents in each of 3 rows for a total of 129 vents. A pressure of 3.1 psid will lower the water level such that flow through the suppression pool vents occurs.
The pool functions both as a heat sink for operational transients and postulated accidents and as a reservoir for emergency core cooling systems (ECCS). Redundant systems are available to ensure that the suppression pool will not exceed its design temperature of 1851F under LOCA conditions.
5.2 Main Steam Isolation Valves and AISIV Leakage Control System The Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIV) isolate the Main Steam Lines following a LOCA. These valves are tested to ensure that the allowable leakage rate for the inboard (Division 2) and outboard (Division 1) MSIV and Main Steam Line Drains is 5150 scfh when tested at 2 Pa.
Leakage past these valves results in bypassing the secondary containment. The MSIV Leakage Control System is designed to control and minimize this secondary containment bypass leakage and the release of fission products after a LOCA. This objective is accomplished by pressurizing the volume between the inboard and outboard valves with the Main Steam Positive Leakage Control System (MS-PLCS). The second division pressurizes the volume between the outboard MSIV and the NSSS valve (B2 1-MOVF098A/BIC/D) for redundancy, however, the *098 valves must be manually closed. This system is designed to be manually actuated at approximately 20 minutes post-LOCA and it takes up to 5 minutes for the system to reach its operating pressure. Since the steam line pressure is above the RPV and drywell pressure when the MS-PLCS is fully operational, any potential leakage through the main steam lines would be terminated.
5.3 Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS)
The Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) limits release of radioisotopes which may leak from the primary containment, Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS), and other potentially radioactive sources to the secondary containment under accident conditions. Currently the SGTS units are automatically started in the event of a LOCA signal (high pressure in the drywvell or reactor vessel low water level), however, this analysis will assume manual initiation of the system to support potential future modifications to the system.
The SGTS is designed to maintain a pressure of less than -0.50 inches of water gauge in the annulus and a pressure of less than 0.25 inches of water gauge in the auxiliary building (Reference 1.31). With the annulus at a negative pressure, any leakage is directed inward and primary containment leakage is collected and passed through a filter train of the SGTS before being released to the environs.
The SGTS consists of two identical, parallel charcoal filter trains with associated ductwork, dampers, controls, and exhaust fans. Each train is capable of passing 100% of the design flow. Both trains of SGTS are safety related, thus, they would be powered by the Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) should a Loss of Off-Site Power occur. The discharge from the two fans is connected to a common exhaust duct. Air flow through the SGTS filter train is taken from 1) the annulus via the annulus mixing system ductwork, 2) the Auxiliary Building, and 3) recirculation flow from the discharge of the SGTS fans.
A portion of SGTS fan discharge flow is available for release to the environment via the plant exhaust stack, the remainder is recirculated through the SGTS filters. Balancing dampers are available to balance the system as necessary to achieve the desired building pressures and system flows. Each filter train consists of a demister (moisture separator), an electric heating coil, prefilters upstream of the first bank of high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, a bank of HEPA filters (to remove virtually all fine airborne particulates from the airstream), a 4" minimum depth bank of charcoal adsorber filters, and a second bank of filters to capture charcoal particles which may escape from the charcoal filters.

--- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 19 OF 71 ENTERGY II Standby Gas Treatment Schematic 5.4 Main Control Room Fresh Air System The functions of the control building ventilation system are to provide cooling, heating, ventilation, pressurization, and smoke removal for the several areas within the control building (Reference I.32). The control building ventilation system is completely independent of all other plant heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems, and consists of the following subsystems: Main Control Room Air Conditioning Subsystem, Standby Switchgear Rooms Air Conditioning Subsystem, and the Chiller Equipment Room Air Conditioning Subsystem.
The main control room air conditioning subsystem is designed in accordance with the following criteria:
- Maintain ambient condition within the design limits and control the air circulation for optimum personnel comfort and equipment performance requirements.
- Maintain a positive pressure above atmospheric pressure to prevent outside air and air from other control building areas from leaking into the main control room.
- Reduce the airborne radioactivity in the outside air to the main control room by diverting the intake airflow through a special filter train containing charcoal filters during an accident.
- Perform its design function during normal, shutdown, loss of offsite power, and DBA conditions without loss of function.
- Operate under DBA conditions assuming the single failure of any one active component.
- Detect and limit the introduction of smoke into the main control room.
Two outside air charcoal filter trains are provided to filter the main control room outside air supply during and after a LOCA.
One serves as a full capacity spare.
The main control room pressure envelope is maintained at a positive pressure relative to the adjoining areas to prevent air infiltration. Two separate outside air intakes are furnished to provide alternate sources of outdoor air for the main control room. The local air intake is located on the roof of the control building, and the remote air intake is located inside the standby cooling tower. The air intakes are located so that under a variety of wind conditions one of the air intakes

RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 20 OF 71 ENTERGY I continually ensures air free of contamination for main control room pressurization (Reference 1.32), thus minimizing the potential for exposure to airborne radioactivity to persons in the main control room. Manual control switches are provided in the main control room for manual control of the air handling units. Local and remote outside air intake radioactivity levels are monitored, and a high radiation level condition activates an alarm in the main control room.
Following a DBA or high outdoor radioactivity, the main control room outside air supply is automatically diverted through one of the emergency charcoal filtration units. The bounding closure time is based on a high radiation in the air intake signal.
Per Assumption 3.19, this analysis will assume manual initiation of the filters rather than credit the DBA or high radiation signals.
5.4.1. Emergency Core Coolant Systems The Emergency core cooling system (ECCS) is provided to limit fuel cladding temperature to less than the limits set forth in IOCFR50.46 in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA):
- ECCS provides for continuity of core cooling over the complete range of postulated break sizes in the RCPB;
- ECCS is diverse, reliable, and redundant; and
- Operation of the ECCS is initiated automatically when required, regardless of the availability of offsite power supplies and the normal generating system of the station.
ECCS is designed to maintain fuel cladding below the temperature limit in 10CFR50.46 in the event of a breach in the reactor coolant pressure boundary that results in a loss of reactor coolant, and consists of the following injection sub-systems:
- Low Pressure Core Spray (LPCS), and
- Three trains of Low Pressure Coolant Injection (LPCI).
The HPCS, LPCS, and LPCI pumps are all located on the 70' elevation of the auxiliary building. Each is located in a watertight cubicle and are physically separated from each other to prevent common-cause failures. The piping for the LPCS and LPCI systems is located within the auxiliary building. Following a postulated accident these systems use the suppression pool as their water source for injection into the RPV. HPCS also uses the suppression pool as its safety related water source, however, it is normally aligned to draw water from the Condensate Storage Tank (CST). HPCS automatically transfers to the suppression pool upon either a high level alarm from the suppression pool or a low water level alarm from the CST. All systems may be powered by a safety-related diesel generator and will have full flow prior to 2 minutes post accident.
5.4.2. Hydrogen Mixing The drywell hydrogen purge system is designed to dilute the hydrogen produced following a degraded core event and subsequently released into the drywell to less than 4% by volume. The zirconium-water reaction which is assumed to occur in the reactor core during some SA scenarios results in a higher hydrogen concentration in the drywell than in the primary containment in the short term after the design basis LOCA. The hydrogen mixing system uses the larger, essentially hydrogen-free containment atmosphere as a source of air to dilute the drywell atmosphere. This tends to equalize the hydrogen concentration in the drywell and containment. The hydrogen mixing system consists of two independent trains located in the containment. Each train is capable of transporting 100% of the design flow. Plant emergency procedures require actuation of the hydrogen mixing system when the drywell hydrogen concentration reaches a minimum detectable level and the RPV pressure drops below 30 psig. Discussions with operations personnel indicated that the earliest system initiation would be expected would be 30 minutes following the onset of an accident.
When the hydrogen mixing system is activated, the drywell atmosphere will be in direct communication with the containment atmosphere. Containment air will be drawn into the drywell and drywell atmosphere will be exhausted into containment.
This forced mixing dilutes the hydrogen, steam, and air mixture in the drywell; and increases the containment hydrogen concentration. This forced mixing and recirculation further redistributes the gases in containment. Each of the hydrogen mixing fans has a design flow rate of 600 cfm (Reference I.26).

-= RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 21 OF 71 ENTERGY I 6 EVENT PHENOMENOLOGY 6.1 Radionuclide Transport Within Containment Since all activity is initially deposited into the drywell, the transport phenomena between the drywvell and containment can have a significant impact on calculated doses. There are several transport mechanisms between the dryvell and containment.
During the onset of the event the drywell is at a sufficiently higher pressure to cause a blowdown into the containment. This can occur through either suppression pool vent flow or through drywell bypass leakage.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.7 states:
"ForB WRs with Mark III containments, the leakagefrom the drywell into the primary containmentshould be based on the steaming rate of the heated reactor core wvith no creditfor core debris relocation. This leakage should be assumed during the two hour period betveen the initial blowdow'n and tennination of thefitel radioactivity release (gap and early in-vessel release phases). After nvo hours, the radioactivityis assumed to be uniformly distributed throughout the drywell and the primary containment.
After the initial blowdon n steam begins to condense in the drywell which ultimately becomes a vacuum relative to both the containment and atmosphere. Since RBS does not have drywell vacuum breakers, containment analyses demonstrate that this condition would continue until the hydrogen mixing system is placed in service. These containment analyses do not credit this system since use of the system depends upon Operations evaluating the hydrogen concentration within the drywell.
However, it would clearly be placed in service should fuel damage of the magnitude assumed in this analysis occur (i.e., the hydrogen generated would easily exceed the threshold which would require Operations to place the system in service). Note that the AST fuel damage assumptions generate more hydrogen than that assumed for USAR Section 6.2.5 hydrogen analysis (which is greater than that calculated in the ECCS analysis in USAR Section 15.6 and 6.3).
A drywellfcontainment pressure analysis which assumed hydrogen mixing operation could not be identified. In lieu of performing a detailed analysis, an evaluation is performed to develop an event progression which results in calculated doses which are reasonable yet conservative. This evaluation, which is summarized below, reflects insights from a number of inputs including sensitivity studies (Reference 1.9), current plant analyses, and the specific leakage paths assumed in this analysis. It should be noted that the model used in that Reference 1.9 analysis was not identical to the model developed in this analysis. A number of informal "sensitivity studies" were performed specifically to support development of this model.
Note that no suppression pool scrubbing is credited per Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.5. In the event progression described below, the time frame is based upon analysis chronology rather than event chronology. This difference between the two chronologies is that the event time zero is at the initiation of the break, whereas the analysis time zero begins at the point at which fuel damage occurs (121 seconds after the start of the event).
Analysis Time Frame: 0 - 23 minutes:
During this time frame MSIV leakage (from the drywell), SCB (from containment), and primary containment leakage is occurring. Review indicated that MSIV leakage is the most significant contributor since (I) it is unfiltered, (2) it has more conservative dispersion factors, and (3) it originates from the drywell which is a significantly smaller volume. The blowdown analysis assumptions documented in Reference 1.19 reasonably represents what would be expected during this time frame.
However, since flow from the containment to the drywell will not significantly impact MSIV doses (since the activity transfer would be negligible with respect to the activity already in the drywell) and would be non-conservative with respect to secondary containment bypass and primary and secondary containment leakage releases, the flow during the time frame that the drywell is at a vacuum will not be modeled (i.e., no flow will be assumed from the containment to the drywell).
Drowell to Containment Flow:
-121 sec. - 0 sec.: Flow not modeled since no fuel damage occurs prior to this time.
0 sec. - 463 sec.: Reference 1.19, page 189 provides containment and drywell pressure response curves for Power Uprate conditions. During this time period the average containment pressure is 17.48 psia and the average drywell pressure is 19.96. Assuming a drywell temperature of 230'F (at 120 seconds) and 100% steam flow yields a density of 18.718 lbs/cu. ft. (Reference 11.12). Thus, the flow can be calculated as follows:

During this time frame the airborne contributors are SCB and L, which are both assumed to originate from primary containment. It will be assumed that hydrogen mixing is in operation at its design flow rate of 600 cfm (Reference 1.27).
However, as discussed above the P/T containment curves did not model operation of this system. Since these curves could artificially hold activity in the drywell (where it would not be released to the atmosphere) other assumptions not based on the P/T curves will be applied. Once the hydrogen mixing system is started one would expect the containment and drywell pressures to equalize very quickly.
Grand Gulf performed a MELCOR analysis which calculated a steaming rate of 3,000 cfm (Reference 11.1 1). The GGNS AST submittal states that a similar number was also reported in the Perry SER. This value would be expected to be conservative for RBS since both GGNS and Perry have a higher core thermal power. Both plants are BWR 6's like River Bend, therefore, a bypass value of 3,000 cfm will be assumed from 23 minutes (25 minutes actual) to 1.9 hours1.041667e-4 days <br />0.0025 hours <br />1.488095e-5 weeks <br />3.4245e-6 months <br />. With the additional 600 cfm assumed to account for hydrogen mixing, the total flow rate from the drywell to containment is 3,600 cfm. A flow of 600 cfm will also be modeled from containment to the drywell to account for hydrogen mixing. Therefore, the following values will be used for hydrogen mixing flow rates:
Drywell to Containment Flow: 3,600 cfm.
Containment to Drywell Flow: 600 cfn.

6.2 Dose Contributors RBS assumes that there are four contributors to off-site dose:
MSIV Leakage:
As discussed above, River Bend currently has the MS-PLCS system which will pressurize the main steam lines and main steam line drains and effectively eliminate leakage once the system is fully operational 25 minutes (23 minutes AST) post-accident. For the lines where both isolation valves close the pressure between the valves will exceed the drywell and RPV pressure.

=-- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 23 OF 71 ENTERGY I Per Assumption 3.9, both isolation valves in three of the four steam lines close, and that pressure between the valves is sufficient to eliminate leakage until MS-PLCS is initiated. However, one of the isolation valves in the remaining steam line is assumed to fail to close, thus allowing leakage up to the point that MSPLCS is assumed to initiate.
Per Assumption 3.9, this calculation will use an MSIV leakage rate of 150 scih i P.. To convert to containment peak accident conditions,

Per Assumption 3.6 the analysis will use a value of 0.325 volume % per day for containment leakage. During the Positive Pressure Period (PPP) this leakage is assumed to be directed to the environment with no credit being taken for holdup, decay, or filtration by secondary containment. Afler the PPP, containment leakage is assumed to be directed to the annulus for the duration of the event. As such, it is treated by SGTS prior to release to the environment. Annulus bypass leakage was a subset of L, and was considered to be leakage which was not released to the annulus. However, sensitivity studies indicate that off-site and MCR doses are insensitive to the annulus bypass leakage rate (Assumption 3.8) when the leakage is filtered.
As such, all containment leakage (including that which was previously assumed to be Annulus Bypass leakage) will be released to the annulus prior to being released to the environment.
Containment leakage depends upon containment pressure and will be reduced at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> as allowed by Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.7.

Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 5 states the ESF systems that recirculate sump water (i.e., suppression pool water for RBS) are assumed to leak during their operation. Per Assumption 3.10, the leakage rate assumed in this analysis is 60 gph, or 1 gpm. This leakage is assumed to occur within the Auxiliary Building and continues for the duration of the event.
However, during the PPP this leakage is directed to the atmosphere with no credit taken for retention in the auxiliary building. Following the PPP the leakage will be released to the auxiliary building and eventually processed by SGTS prior to its release to the environment. All available ECCS pumps will be in operation with their operational flow before the onset of core damage (i.e., 2 minutes), therefore, this leakage is assumed to occur for the duration of the event.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 5.5 states that if the temperature of the leakage is less than 212 OF, the amount of iodine that becomes airborne should be 10% of the total iodine activity in leaked fluid. A review of the containment

response to the design basis accident (Reference 1.19) indicates that the peak suppression pool temperature will not exceed 212 'F. Therefore, a flash fraction of 10% will be used in this analysis.
63 Removal Mechanisms 63.1. Natural Deposition Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.2 allows for the reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by natural deposition within the containment to be credited. RBS will credit natural deposition within the drywell only.
Particulate Todines:
RADTRAD contains several options with respect to the natural deposition of particulate iodines. The model chosen for this analysis is the Power's Model (Reference 11.10). Sensitivity studies indicate that the Power's Model with a 10% confidence interval yields the most conservative results (i.e., the least amount of deposition).
Elemental Iodine; The elemental iodine coefficient to be used in this analysis will be based on guidance found in SRP 6.5.2. Specifically, the iodine removal rate constant for a particular compartment "n" will be based on the following formula:

A = Surface area for wall deposition. The area calculation is based upon dimensions for the drywell based from Reference 1.18. The height is based on a SP high water level of 20' (Elevation 90' 0"). The area to be used in this analysis will be the wall surface area of each building. Other surfaces, such as the biological shield wall for the drywell and the drywell outer surface for containment, will conservatively be neglected. The area is determined as:

6.3.2. Sprays
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.3 allows for the reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by containment spray systems to be credited. However, the RBS design does not employ containment sprays.
6.3.3. Suppression Pool Scrubbing Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.5 states that suppression pool scrubbing should not be credited. Therefore, this analysis will not credit suppression pool scrubbing.
6.3.4. Filtration Regulatory Guide 1.183, Section 4.2.4 states that the credit may be taken for engineered safety features that mitigate radioactive material in the control roomn. Examples of such engineered safety features are control room isolation or pressurization, or intake or recirculation filters. The RBS design includes the control room fresh air system which is a safety-related system that filters both intake and recirculated air (Reference 1.32).
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.4 states that the reduction in the amount of radioactive material in containment by in-containment recirculation filter systems may be taken into account provided that these systems meet the

guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02. The RBS design does not incorporate in-containment recirculation filters.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 4.4 states that the reduction in the amount of radioactive material released from the secondary containment because of ESF filter systems may be taken into account provided that these systems meet the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02. The RBS design includes the standby gas treatment system which filters air taken from the annulus and the auxiliary building (Reference 1.31).
River Bend has committed to GL 99-02 in that the testing acceptance criteria used will be 50% of the available margin in the relevant safety analyses (Reference 11.20).
Note that although all systems are currently designed such that a LOCA signal will automatically start the systems, filtration by SGTS will not be credited for the first 30 minutes (Assumptions 3.13 and 3.16).
6.4 Source Term - Core Source Term, Release Phases, and Timing Source term estimates under severe accident conditions became of particular interest following the accident at Three Mile Island (TMI) due to the fact that the observed concentrations of iodine were significantly lower than those predicted using the TID methodology. In the early 1980s, the NRC initiated a major research effort with the ultimate goal to better understand fission product releases and transport under SA conditions for light water reactors. The document, NUREG-1465 Accident Source Tennsfor Light- Water Nuclear Power Plants, provides a summary of the extensive research by the NRC.
The AST dose methodology takes advantage of the significant amount of knowledge gained as a result of these various SA scenarios researched by the NRC. Specifically, several of the assumptions prescribed by the previous LOCA dose methodology guidance (Reference 11.1) were found to be extremely conservative. Therefore, the NRC has incorporated the more realistic assumptions in its AST guidance found in Regulatory Guide 1.183. Application of AST at RBS has been approved by the NRC (Reference 1.30).
6.4.1. Core Source Term GE provided a generic core source term as part of power uprate project (Reference 1.23) and recommended its use at River Bend Station. This source term had previously been used in several dose evaluations at RBS. However, the RADTRAD code has a default inventory which contains 60 isotopes. Table 3-1 below lists the inventories. A direct comparison shows that the source terms are generally consistent. The source term used in this analysis will be based on the GE Task Report 31.1 except for those isotopes which are not found in TR 31.1. For those 10 isotopes the RADTRAD default inventory value will be retained since it is inherently conservative to include the isotopes (Co-58 & 60, Np-239, Pu-239, 240, &24 1, Am-241, and Cm-242 & 244). A copy of the nuclide inventory file is contained on the attached CD (TR31_I.NIF).

--- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 27 OF 71 ENTERGY 6.4.2. Release Fractions and Timing Per Regulatory Guide 1.183, only the coolant, gap, and early in-vessel phases are required to be evaluated in design basis accident applications.
Isotopes of similar chemical properties are grouped for convenience. The groupings to be used in this evaluation are taken from Regulatory Guide 1.183, Table 5 and are listed in the table below.
AST Radionuclide Groups Group* Title Elements I Noble Gases Xe, Kr 2 Halogens I, Br 3 Alkali Metals Cs, Rb 4 Tellurium Group Te, Sb, Se 5/6 Barium, Strontium Ba, Sr 7 Noble Metals Ru, Rh, Pd, Mo, Tc, Co 8 Cerium Group Ce, Pu, Np 9 Lanthanides La, Zr, Nd, Eu, Nb, Pm, Pr, Sm, Y, Cm, Am Note *: NUREG-1465 lists Ba and Sr as one group, however, the RADTRAD ST and DCF files treat them as separate groups. The group number listed above corresponds to the RADTRAD file.
As a result of the line break, there is an immediate release of reactor coolant into the drywell. NUREG-1465 estimates this phase's duration to last at least 30 seconds for a BWR. However, a spectrum of breaks was later evaluated by the BWR Owner's Group initiative (Reference 11.5). The results of this study indicated that the earliest cladding perforation could potentially occur is 121 seconds following the line break. Regulatory Guide 1.183 credits a duration of two minutes. This analysis will use the 121 seconds as the time for onset of fuel cladding damage.
This gap activity release phase begins when the fuel cladding begins to fail. During this phase the fission gases contained in the plenum and between the fuel pellet and cladding are released. Typically, these gases include the noble gases, the halogens, and the alkali metals. The bulk of the fission products are retained in the fuel pellets. This phase continues until the fuel's bulk temperature has been raised to a point where significant amounts of fission products are released from the fuel (i.e., fuel melting commences).
During early in-vessel release phase, it is assumed that the fuel reaches sufficiently high temperature such that core geometry can no longer be maintained. The fuel is relocated to the bottom of the reactor pressure vessel. As result of the melting, a significant amount of the volatile fission products, as well as a small amount of the non-volatile fission products, are released to containment. This phase continues until the bottom of the RPV fails. Release duration varies based on the break scenario and reactor design. It is estimated that this phase lasts 1.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> for BWRs. This is the last phase for DBA applications.
The ex-vessel release phase begins with the complete failure of the RPV, thus, the molten core falls onto the containment floor. During this release phase a significant amount of the remaining volatile fission products are released. Also, the non-volatile fission products are released to a lesser extent. This phase continues until the core debris has cooled to a point where significant amounts of fission products are no longer released. During this phase, significant core-concrete interactions would take place, however, these type of interactions take many hours. Studies indicate that the majority of fission products
(>90%) would be released within a two hour period for PWRs and a three hour period for BWRs with the exception of ruthenium and tellurium. Note that this phase need not be considered in Desien Basis Accident applications.
The late in-vessel release phase also begins with the breach of the lower RPV, thus, it begins concurrently with the Ex-Vessel Phase. During this phase the radionuclides which plated-out in the reactor coolant system during earlier phases may re-volatize, become airbome, and be released into containment. After considering the uncertainty, studies indicate that ten hours is a reasonable estimate for this phase. Note that this phase need not be considered in Design Basis Accident applications.
Based upon the above, and the data in Regulatory Guide 1.183, Tables I and 4, the release fractions and timing are provided in the table below:

Note
- NUREG-1465 lists Ba and Sr as one group, however, the RADTRAD ST and DCF files treat them as separate groups. The group number listed above corresponds to the RADTRAD file.
Note **: For liquid releases (ESF leakage) only the halogens are assumed to be released to the environment.
Regulatory Guide 1.183 states that Noble Gases are not retained in Suppression Pool water. Also, the other groups are assumed to be retained in SP water since they are assumed to be particulates.
6A.3. Chemical Fractions Containment Leakage and Secondary Containment Bypass:
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 2 states that if the suppression pool pH is controlled above 7 then the chemical form of radioiodine released to the containment should be assumed to be 95% cesium iodine (Csl, a particulate or aerosol),
4.85% elemental iodine, and 0.15% organic iodine. An analysis of post-LOCA suppression pool p1i- (References 1.7 and 1.33) indicates that the suppression pool pH can be maintained above 7, thus the fractions above may be used in this analysis.
ESF Leakage:
The chemical fractions for liquid leakage differ from the airborne release fractions. Specifically, Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 5.6 states that "The radioiodine that is postulated to be available for release [from liquid sources] is assumed to be 97% elemental and 3% organic."
6.5 Atmospheric Dispersion Factors The atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Qs) are based on several release locations. For containment and secondary containment releases, the values are based on main plant stack where SGTS is released. SCB leakage is assumed to be released to either the fuel building or the turbine building, and MSIV leakage would clearly be released to the turbine building. The fuel building X/Q values are slightly more conservative for the MCR main air intake by -5%, however, the values are less conservative for the remote intake by -15%. Prior to Technical Specification Amendment 113 (Reference I.16) the fuel building was considered to be part of secondary containment. As such the building is designed to withstand a DBA and any releases into the building would be held up to some extent prior to actually being released to the atmosphere (even with the Fuel Building cask doors open). This holdup and dilution in the fuel building would easily account for a minor non-conservatism on the order of 5%. Additionally, the majority of release SCB paths lead to the turbine building. The feedwater lines are expected to be the most significant contributors and these lines traverse through the main steam tunnel to the turbine building. Based on all of these considerations the turbine building X/Q values will be used for the SCB releases.
6.5.1. Off-Site X/Q Values The off-site xIQ values were developed in Reference 1.13 and are summarized in the following table.

6.5.2. Main Control Room x/Q Values River Bend Station's MCRFA system has dual air intakes which may be manually selected from the main control room.
RBS's dcsign meets the criteria set forth in Murphy & Campe (Reference 11.6). Standard Review Plan Section 6.4 states that plants with manually selected dual air inlets may reduce the more favorable X/Q value by a factor of four to account for the relative probability that control room operators will select the appropriate intake based on the meteorological conditions present at the time of the accident.
Previously RBS has credited this allowance and applied it to both the actual air intake via the MCRFA system and the unfiltered inleakage. This was reasonable due to the fact that the unfiltered inleakage was assumed to occur through ingress and egress of the MCR, and all doors to the MCR are interior to Category I buildings (hence, the mixing affects in the building far outweighed any minor non-conservatisms by allowing the more favorable X/Q value to be used). However, the 300 cfm of unfiltered inleakage assumed in this analysis may not necessarily occur through areas interior to the building, therefore, blindly applying the SRP allowance may not be completely appropriate. Therefore, this analysis will utilize a flow weighted average of the applicable X/Q values. The main air intake X/Qs will be assumed to apply to the unfiltered inleakage since the MAI is located on the roof of the Control Building just above the MCR envelope. The MCRFA intake will utilize the credit allowed per SRP 6.4.

TEDE is the sum of the deep dose equivalent (DDE) and the committed effective dose equivalent (CEDE).
Per Regulatory Guide 1.183, Section 4.1.2, the dose conversion factors to determine CEDE will be based on Table 2.1 of Federal Guidance Report 11, "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion."
Per Regulatory Guide 1.183, Section 4.1.4, the dose conversion factors to determine DDE will be based on Table 111.1 of Federal Guidance Report 12, "External Exposure to Radionuclides in Air, Water, and Soil."
Note that both the FGR 11 and 12 dose conversion factors are contained in a RADTRAD default file which was reviewed and verified prior to use. A copy of this file is included on the CD attached to this calculation.

7 DOSE CALCULATION MODELS 7.1 Primary and Secondary Containment Leakage Model Input Description This model has 7 compartments and 13 pathways as shown in the diagram below:
All isotopes released are initially directed to the drywvell and are transported elsewhere as discussed above. Releases via the MSIV and SCB leakage paths are directed to a "sink" and are evaluated in the secondary containment bypass model later in this calculation. The inputs for this model are described below:
7.1.1. Compartment Input Data There are a total of six compartments in this model.

Source Tern Fraction: Per Section 6.1, all of the source term will be deposited into the drywell, thus this fraction will be 1.00.
Compartment Features: As discussed in Section 6.3.1 natural deposition will be assumed for this volume. The Power's Aerosol model at the I th percentile will be used for deposition of aerosols and a coefficient of 1.01 will be used for deposition of elemental iodine. Per Assumption 3.22, this mechanism is only credited for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the event.

7.1.1.4. Compartment 4 Compartment Name: Control Room Compartment Type: Control Room (1)
Volume (cu. ft.): The net free volume of this compartment is determined as follows:
From Reference 1.3 the gross volume of the main control room below the suspended ceiling is 101,232 ft3 and 96,757 ft above the suspended ceiling. Within the control room 10,241 ft of the gross volume is occupied by various pieces of equipment (panels, etc.). Additional free volume associated with the HVAC duct work is conservatively ignored (see Assumption 3.17). Summing the gross volumes and subtracting the volume occupied by equipment, yields a value for the net free volume of the main control room of 1.88x1 05 ft3.
Source Term Fraction: Per Section 6.1, all of the source term will be deposited into the drywell, thus this fraction will be 0.00.
Compartment Features: Reference 1.32 describes the control room fresh air system including the charcoal filtration system. Specifically, 2,000 cfm of control room air is recirculated through the operating filter

Item 4.2.4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 (Reference 11.3) states that credit for engineered safety features that mitigate airborne radioactive material within the control room may assumed in the evaluation. River Bend has committed to GL 99-02 in that the testing acceptance criteria used will be 50% of the available margin in the relevant safety analyses. The test acceptance criterion for the filters is listed as a penetration depth of 1.0% found in Technical Specification 5.5.7.c (Reference 11.7) which corresponds to an adsorption efficiency of 99 percent. For analysis purposes, the filters will be assumed to have an adsorption efficiency of 98 percent which accommodates the GL 99-02 requirement. Per Assumption 3.21 the HEPA filters have an efficiency of 99%.
Based upon the event timing information in Section 6.8, the control room operators will place the emergency filters in service 20 minutes into the event (18 minutes from start of the analysis). Thus, the following information will be entered for the filter efficiencies:

Transfer Mechanism: Reference 1.32 describes the control room fresh air system including the charcoal filtration system. Specifically, air is drawn from either the local or remote air intake and filtered through the operating filter train. Therefore, the "Filter" transfer mechanism will be selected for this model.
Per Assumption 3.20, the intake flow is 1,700 cfm.
The event timing in Section 6.8 shows that the charcoal filters are placed into service at 18 minutes into the analysis.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Section 4.2.4 states that credit for engineered safety features that mitigate airborne radioactive material within the control room may assumed in the evaluation.

However, per SRP 6.2.3 filtration cannot be credited until the building pressure is below at least 0.25 inches of water gauge vacuum. Assumption 3.16 states that this positive pressure period is assumed to be 30 minutes from the start of the event, or 28 minutes from the start of the analysis as shown in Section 6.8.
Per Assumption 3.14, a flow rate of 2,500 cfm from the annulus will be used for this analysis.

7.2.1. Compartment Input Data There are a total of six compartments in this model.
7.2.1.1. Compartment 1 Compartment Name: Drywell Compartment Type: Other (3)
Volume (cu. ft.): 2.36x10 5 ft3 (Reference 1.5)
Source Term Fraction: Per Section 6.1, all of the source term vill be deposited into the drywell, thus this fraction will be 1.00.
Compartment Features: As discussed in Section 6.3.1 natural deposition will be assumed for this volume. The Power's Aerosol model at the 10'h percentile will be used for deposition of aerosols and a coefficient of 1.01 will be used for deposition of elemental iodine.

7.2.1.4. Compartment 4 Compartment Name: Control Room Compartment Type: Control Room (1)
Volume (cu. fl.): The net free volume of this compartment is determined as follows:
From Reference 1.3 the gross volume of the main control room below the suspended ceiling is 101,232 ft3 and 96,757 ft3 above the suspended ceiling. Within the control room 10,241 ft of the gross volume is occupied by various pieces of equipment (panels, etc.). Additional free volume associated with the HVAC duct work is conservatively ignored (see Assumption 3.17). Summing the gross volumes and subtracting the volume occupied by equipment, yields a value for the net free volume of the main control room of I .88x 105 ft3.
Source Term Fraction: Per Section 6.1, all of the source term will be deposited into the drywell, thus this fraction will be 0.00.
Compartment Features: Reference 1.32 describes the control room fresh air system including the charcoal filtration system. Specifically, 2,000 cfm of control room air is recirculated through the operating filter train. Therefore, the "Recirculating Filter" compartment feature will be selected for this model.

River Bend has committed to GL 99-02 in that the testing acceptance criteria used will be 50% of the available margin in the relevant safety analyses. The test acceptance criterion for the filters is listed as a penetration depth of 1.0% found in Technical Specification 5.5.7.c (Reference 11.7) which corresponds to an adsorption efficiency of 99 percent.

The sink is used to limit double counting of the release inventory.

Volume (cu. ft.): The suppression pool design is described in Section 5.1. For this analysis, only the portion of the suppression pool outside the drywell wall will be credited. From Reference 1.4, the gross volume of this portion of the suppression pool at minimum water level is 124,958 R', of which 1,547 IVis steel. Thus the net volume of this portion of the suppression pool is 123,411 ft3 is water. Since a lower volume results in a higher concentration of radionuclides in the ESF leakage flow a suppression pool level value of 120,000 ft3 will be used in this analysis for additional conservatism.

Volume (cu. ft.): Regulatory Guide 1. 183, Appendix A, Section 4.4 states that credit of up lo 50% mixing may be taken for dilution in secondary containment if adequate means for mixing may be demonstrated. The RBS design includes the SGTS system which is a safety-related system (Reference 1.31) which is not a mixing system per see, yet the system does take suction directly or indirectly from every compartment in tie auxiliary building thus providing a mixing arrangement. There the 50% mixing credit is applicable to auxiliary building. The auxiliary building free volume is 1I.16E+06 ft3 per Reference 1.12. Therefore, the volume to be used for this compartment will be 5.8x105 ft3.

From Reference 1.3 the gross volume of the main control room below the suspended ceiling is 101,232 ft3 and 96,757 ft3 above the suspended ceiling. Within the control room 10,241 ft of the gross volume is occupied by various pieces of equipment (panels, etc.). Additional free volume associated with the HVAC duct work is conservatively ignored (see Assumption 3.17). Summing the gross volumes and subtracting the volume occupied by equipment, yields a value for the net free volume of the main control room of I.88xl0 5 3ft'.

Transfer Mechanism: The Standby Gas Treatment System (SGTS) is described in Section 5.3. This system filters post-LOCA air from the annulus and auxiliary building. Therefore, the "Filter" transfer mechanism is selected.
As discussed in Assumption 3.13, this analysis will assume that SGTS will be manually initiated. However, per SRP 6.2.3 filtration cannot be credited until the building pressure is below at least 0.25 inches of water gauge vacuum. Assumption 3.16 states that this positive pressure period is assumed to be 30 minutes from the start of the event, or 28 minutes from the start of the analysis as shown in Section 6.8.
Per Assumption 3.14, a flow rate of 10,000 cfm from the auxiliary building will be used for this analysis.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 4.4 states that the reduction in the amount of radioactive material released from the secondary containment because of ESF filter systems may be taken into account provided that these systems meet the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02. River Bend has committed to GL 99-02 in that the testing acceptance criteria used will be 50% of the available margin in the relevant safety analyses.
The test acceptance criterion for the filters is listed as a penetration depth of 5.0% found in Technical Specification 5.5.7.c (Reference 11.7) which corresponds to an adsorption efficiency of 95 percent. For analysis purposes, the filters will be assumed to have an adsorption efficiency of 90 percent which accommodates the GL 99-02 requirement.

Pathway Name: MCR Air Intake Transfer Mechanism: Reference 1.32 describes the control room fresh air system including the charcoal filtration system. Specifically, air is drawn from either the local or remote air intake and filtered through the operating filter train. Therefore, the "Filter" transfer mechanism will be selected for this model.
Per Assumption 3.20, the intake flow is 1,700 cfm.
The event timing in Section 6.8 shows that the charcoal filters are placed into service at 18 minutes into the analysis.
Regulatory Guide 1.183, Section 4.2.4 states that credit for engineered safety features that mitigate airborne radioactive material within the control room may assumed in the evaluation.
River Bend has committed to GL 99-02 in that the testing acceptance criteria used will be 50% of the available margin in the relevant safety analyses. The test acceptance criterion for the filters is listed as a penetration depth of 1.0% found in Technical Specification 5.5.7.c (Reference 11.7) which corresponds to an adsorption efficiency of 99 percent. For analysis purposes, the filters will be assumed to have an adsorption efficiency of 98 percent which accommodates the GL 99-02 requirement. Per Assumption 3.21 the HEPA filters have an efficiency of 99%.
Based upon the event timing information in Section 6.8, the control room operators will place the emergency filters in service 20 minutes into the event (18 minutes from start of the analysis). Thus, the following information will be entered for the filter efficiencies:

Attachment A contains a list of the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A. This meets these requirements with two exceptions:
I. Section 5.2: Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 3.8 states that ESF leakage should be taken as two times the sum of the simultaneous leakage from all components in the ESF recirculation systems above which the technical specifications would require declaring such systems inoperable. RBS does not have any technical specification requirements which can be directly tied to this assumption. The leakage rate assumed in this analysis is I gpm based on the initial licensing of the plant. Specifically, the RBS SER (NUREG-0989), Section 15.6.5, states that "The leak rate chosen for ESF equipment is that used by the staff in past evaluations; it represents the largest flow that could plausibly exist over the duration of the accident without discovery and isolation of this source." This value was used in the Amendment 98, 113, and 114 submittals.
- 2. Section 6.2: Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, Section 6.2 states that the Main Steam Isolation Valves should be assumed to leak at the technical specification maximum allowable value and be assumed to be released for the duration of the event. RBS has the MS-PLCS system which will pressurize the main steam lines (even with the failure of one MSIV) and terminate the leakage. Therefore, MSIV leakage is terminated 25 minutes into the event (20 minutes for the operators to manually start the system and 5 minutes for it to become fully operational).

- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 62 OF 71 ENTERGY I ATTACHMENT A: CONFORMANCE TO REGULATORY GUIDE 1.183 ASSUMPTIONS Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix A, provides guidance for applying AST assumptions to the DBA-LOCA analysis. This attachment documents the conformance of this analysis to the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.183.
Source Term Assumptions
- 1. Acceptable assumptions regarding core inventory and the release of radionuclides from the fuel are provided in Regulatory Position 3 of this guide.
RBS Response: RBS complies with all of the requirements of RegulatoryPosition 3 as discussed below.
Regulatory Position 3 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 has several requirements:
3.1 Fission Product Inventory The inventory of fission products in the reactor core and available for release to the containment should be based on the maximum full power operation of the core with, as a minimum, current licensed values for fuel enrichment, burnup, and assumed core thermal power equal to the current licensed rated thermal power times the ECCS evaluation uncertainty. The periods of irradiation should be of sufficient duration to allow the activity of dose significant radionuclides to reach equilibrium or to reach maximum values....
RBS Response: The source term used in this analysis is the GE generic BJVR ST. GE Power Uprate Task Report 31.1 recommended the source term for use at RBS. The ST used is based on 102% of RTP. This analysis complies with these requirementsin their entirety.
3.2 Release Fractions The core inventory release fractions, by radionuclide groups, for gap and early in-vessel damage phases for DBA LOCAs are listed in Table I for BWRs ... These fractions are applied to the equilibrium core inventory described in Regulatory Position 3.1.
RES Response: The valuesfrom Table I of Regulatory Guide 1.183 are used in this analysis. This analysis complies with these requirements in theirentirety.
3.3 Timing of Release Phases Table 4 tabulates the onset and duration of each sequential phase for DBA LOCAs at PWRs and BWRs. The specified onset is the time following the initiation of the accident (i.e., time = 0). The early in-vessel phase immediately follows the gap release phase. The activity released from the core during each release phase should be modeled as increasing in a linear fashion over the duration of the phase.
RBS Response: The values from Table 4 of Regulatory Guide 1.183 are assumed in this analysis. The RADTRAD computercode inherently treats the releaseas linear. Therefore. RBS complies wvith these requirementsin their entirety.
3.4 Radionuclide Composition Table 5 lists the elements in each radionuclide group that should be considered in design basis analyses.
RBS Response: RBS modified the RADTRAD BIVR default nuclide inventoryfile to account for the values found in GE Posver Uprate Task Report 31.1. As such all nuclides of concern were included in the analysis. RBS complies with this requirement in theirentirety.

Of the radioiodine released from the RCS to the containment in a postulated accident, 95% of the iodine released should be assumed to be cesium iodide, 4.85% elemental iodine, and 0.15% organic iodide. This includes releases from the gap and fuel pellets. With the exception of elemental and organic iodine and noble gases, fission products should be assumed to be in particulate form.
RBS Response: The chemnicalfractionsprescribed in Section 3.5 were used in this analysis, therefore. RBS complies wuith this requirement in their entirety.
3.6 Fuel Damage in Non-LOCA DBAs RBS Response: Not applicable to this analysis since this calculationevaluates a DBA-LOCA.
- 2. If the sump or suppression pool pH is controlled at values of 7 or greater, the chemical form of radioiodine released to the containment should be assumed to be 95% cesium iodide (Csl), 4.85 percent elemental iodine, and 0.15 percent organic iodide. Iodine species, including those from iodine re-evolution, for sump or suppression pool pH values less than 7 will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Evaluations of pH should consider the effect of acids and bases created during the LOCA event, e.g., radiolysis products. With the exception of elemental and organic iodine and noble gases, fission products should be assumed to be in particulate form.
RBS Response: This calculation assumes that the pH of the suppression pool renzains >7, thus, the chemical distribution prescribed above is used. The suppression pool pH analysis was performed by calculation G)3. 18.14.0*196. Therefore.
RBS complies with these requirements in their entirety.
Assumptions on Transport in Primary Containment
- 3. Acceptable assumptions related to the transport, reduction, and release of radioactive material in and from the primary containment in PWRs or the drywell in BWRs are as follows:
3.1 The radioactivity released from the fuel should be assumed to mix instantaneously and homogeneously throughout the free air volume of the primary containment in PWRs or the drywell in BWRs as it is released. This distribution should be adjusted if there are internal compartments that have limited ventilation exchange. The suppression pool free air volume may be included provided there is a mechanism to ensure mixing between the drywell to the wvctwell. The release into the containment or drywell should be assumed to terminate at the end of the early in-vessel phase.
RBS Response: This requirement in inherently met through the use of the RADTRAD computer code. Specifically, RADTRAD assumes a homogeneous mixture throughout each node. The volume for the containment does not include the volume of the suppressionpool. RBS complies with these requirements in their entirety.
3.2 Reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by natural deposition within the containment may be credited.
Acceptable models for removal of iodine and aerosols are described in Chapter 6.5.2, "Containment Spray as a Fission Product Cleanup System," of the Standard Review Plan (SRP), NUREG-0800 and in NUREG/CR-6189, "A Simplified Model of Aerosol Removal by Natural Processes in Reactor Containments." The latter model is incorporated into the analysis code RADTRAD. The prior practice of deterministically assuming that a 50% plateout of iodine is released from the fuel is no longer acceptable to the NRC staff as it is inconsistent with the characteristics of the revised source terms.
RBS Response: Natural deposition of iodine is credited. The deposition of particulateiodine is based on the Power's Model with a 10%/6 confidence interval which is based on NUREG-6189 methodology. The removal coefficient for elemental iodine is based on data obtainedfrom NUREG/CR-0009.The practiceof assunming 50% plateout of iodine is not employed. As such, RBS complies with these requirements.
3.3 Reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by containment spray systems that have been designed and are maintained in accordance with Chapter 6.5.2 of the SRP may be credited. Acceptable models for the removal of iodine and aerosols are described in Chapter 6.5.2 of the SRP and NUREG/CR-5966, "A Simplified Model of Aerosol Removal by Containment Sprays". This simplified model is incorporated into the analysis code RADTRAD.
The evaluation of the containment sprays should address areas within the primary containment that are not covered by the
CALC. NO. - REV. ADDENDIMI CALCULATION COVER PAGE GL3.18.9.5*061-01 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ATTACHMENT NO.: A
- - -RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 64 OF 71 ENTERGY I spray drops. The mixing rate attributed to natural convection between sprayed and unsprayed regions of the containment building, provided that adequate flow exists between these regions, is assumed to be two turnovers of the unsprayed regions per hour, unless other rates are justified. The containment building atmosphere may be considered a single, well-mixed volume if the spray covers at least 90% of the volume and if adequate mixing of unsprayed compartments can be shown.
The SRP sets forth a maximum decontamination factor (DF) for elemental iodine based on the maximum iodine activity in the primary containment atmosphere when the sprays actuate, divided by the activity of iodine remaining at some time after decontamination. The SRP also states that the particulate iodine removal rate should be reduced by a factor of 10 when a DF of 50 is reached. The reduction in the removal rate is not required if the removal rate is based on the calculated time-dependent airborne aerosol mass. There is no specified maximum DF for aerosol removal by sprays. The maximum activity to be used in determining the DF is defined as the iodine activity in the columns labeled "Total" in Tables I and 2 of this guide multiplied by 0.05 for elemental iodine and by 0.95 for particulate iodine (i.e., aerosol treated as particulate in SRP methodology).
RBS Response: River Bend does not have containment sprays, therefore, none are credited in this analysis. This is not applicableto RBS.
3.4 Reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by in-containment recirculation filter systems may be credited if these systems meet the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02. The filter media loading caused by the increased aerosol release associated with the revised source term should be addressed.
RBS Response: River Bend does not have in-containmnent recirculationfilters, therefore, none are credited in this analysis. This is not applicable to RBS.
3.5 Reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by suppression pool scrubbing in BWRs should generally not be credited. However, the staff may consider such reduction on an individual case basis. The evaluation should consider the relative timing of the blowdowvn and the fission product release from the fuel, the force driving the release through the pool, and the potential for any bypass of the suppression pool. Analyses should consider iodine re-evolution if the suppression pool liquid pH is not maintained greater than 7.
RBS Response: Suppression pool scrubbing is not credited, therefore. RBS complies with these requirements.
3.6 Reduction in airborne radioactivity in the containment by retention in ice condensers, or other engineering safety features not addressed above, should be evaluated on an individual case basis. See Section 6.5.4 of the SRP.
RBS Response: RBS does not have ice condensers. This is not applicable.
3.7 The primary containment (i.e., drywell for Mark I and 1I containment designs) should be assumed to leak at the peak pressure technical specification leak rate for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. ... For BWRts, leakage may be reduced after the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, if supported by plant configuration and analyses, to a value not less than 50% of the technical specification leak rate. Leakage from subatmospheric containments is assumed to terminate when the containment is brought to and maintained at a subatmospheric condition as defined by technical specifications.
For BWVRs with Mark IIl containments, the leakage from the drywell into the primary containment should be based on the steaming rate of the heated reactor core, with no credit for core debris relocation. This leakage should be assumed during the two-hour period between the initial blowdown and termination of the fuel radioactivity release (gap and early in-vessel release phases). After two hours, the radioactivity is assumed to be uniformly distributed throughout the drywell and the primary containment.
RBS Response: For thefirst 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> containment is assumed to leak at the proposed new technical specification leakage rate of 0.325 volume %per hour. After 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> this value is reduced to 55% of that value based on containment thermal hydraulic analyses. Priorto 30 minutes the steaming rate assumed is based on RES analyses which demonstrate that the drywell reaches a vacuum roughly 8 minutes into the event due to condensing steam. The RBS analyses do not accountfor the operation of the hydrogen mixing system which is assumed to be initiated30 minutes into the event. The steaming rate assumed at that time 3000 cfm based on the GGNS analysis as RBS does not have a site specific analysis. An additional

Based on this review it is concluded that RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
3.8 If the primary containment is routinely purged during power operations, releases via the purge system prior to containment isolation should be analyzed and the resulting doses summed with the postulated doses from other release paths. The purge release evaluation should assume that 100% of the radionuclide inventory in the reactor coolant system liquid is released to the containment at the initiation of the LOCA. This inventory should be based on the technical specification reactor coolant system equilibrium activity. Iodine spikes need not be considered. If the purge system is not isolated before the onset of the gap release phase, the release fractions associated with the gap release and early in-vessel phases should be considered as applicable.
RBS Response: RBS is routinely purged dluring normal operations, howvever, the contribution to off-site and MCR doses due to the reactorcoolant releasephase was deemed to be negligible. First,RBS has two purge modes. The normalpurge mode releases 7.000 scfm and the high volume purge releases 12,500 cfm. Both release modes are filtered. The containment purge is terminated immediately upon receipt of a LOCA signal. Other analyses have demonstrated that the dose contribution due to a puff release of all reactor coolant was not significant (<5% of the regulatory values). Since only a smallfraction of the containment atmosphere would potentially be released it is clearthat the dose consequences of the coolant phaseare insignificant. and therefore, they are neglected.
Assumptions on Dual Containments
- 4. For facilities with dual containment systems, the acceptable assumptions related to the transport, reduction, and release of radioactive material in and from the secondary containment or enclosure buildings are as follows.
4.1 Leakage from the primary containment should be considered to be collected, processed by engineered safety feature (ESF) filters, if any, and released to the environment via the secondary containment exhaust system during periods in which the secondary containment has a negative pressure as defined in technical specifications. Credit for an elevated release should be assumed only if the point of physical release is more than two and one-half times the height of any adjacent structure.
RBSResponse:
The positive pressureperiod used in this analysis was 30 minutes. Following the drawdown of secondary contairnment.
leakage into theAnnulus and Auxiliary Building is assumed to be processed by SGTS. TlieX/Q values used by this analysis assume ground level releases. Therefore, RBS complies with these requirements in theirentirety.
4.2 Leakage from the primary containment is assumed to be released directly to the environment as a ground-level release during any period in which the secondary containment does not have a negative pressure as defined in technical specifications.
ABS Response: 77Tis analysis does not credit holdup orfiltrationby secondary containmentforthefirst 30 minutes of the event. Calculations G13.18.2.7*023 ADDA and ES-194_ADDA demonstrate that this assumption is valid. Specifically, those analyses demonstrate that the Annulus and Auxiliary Building will be .50.25 w.g. within 30 minutes of the break even with manual initiation of SGTS 20 minutes into the event. Therefore, RBS complies with these requirements in their entirety.
4.3 The effect of high wind speeds on the ability of the secondary containment to maintain a negative pressure should be evaluated on an individual case basis. The wind speed to be assumed is the 1-hour average value that is exceeded only 5%
of the total number of hours in the data set. Ambient temperatures used in these assessments should be the I-hour average value that is exceeded only 5% or 95% of the total numbers of hours in the data set, whichever is conservative for the intended use (e.g., if high temperatures are limiting, use those exceeded only 5%).
RBS Response: These potential affects were addressed during initial licensing of the plant. USAR Section 6.2.3 states The secondary containment, in conjunction with the operation of the SGTS, is designed to achieve and maintain an external post-LOCA pressure of at least -1/2 in W.G. in the annulus and at least -1/4 in W.G. in the auxiliary building and the fuel building relative to the outside atmosphere, and prevents exfiltration at wind speeds less than or equal to

17.5 mph." USAR Table 2.3-43 contains the hourly average wind speed data for 3/17/77 through 3/16/79. The Table shows only 69 hours7.986111e-4 days <br />0.0192 hours <br />1.140873e-4 weeks <br />2.62545e-5 months <br /> out of 14050 hours for the 13-25 mph range, therefore, it is clear that secondary containment meets the uwind speed requirements. Temperature induced differential pressures was addressed at RBS. It is not of significant concern at RBS due to that that the plant is located in the South. The analyses to support the drawdown requirements accountedfor differential temperatures. Additionally, the diferential pressure for secondary containment is typically significantly greater than the 0.5 and 0.25 requiredforthe Annulus and Auxiliary Building, respectively. The bounding requirementforSGTS is the dravdoit'n time, thus, the annulus and auxiliary buildingpressures easily exceed the minimum requirements by several inches water gauge. Based on this review it is clear that RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
4.4 Credit for dilution in the secondary containment may be allowed when adequate means to cause mixing can be demonstrated. Otherwise, the leakage from the primary containment should be assumed to be transported directly to exhaust systems without mixing. Credit for mixing, if found to be appropriate, should generally be limited to 50%. This evaluation should consider the magnitude of the containment leakage in relation to contiguous building volume or exhaust rate, the location of exhaust plenums relative to projected release locations, the recirculation ventilation systems, and internal walls and floors that impede stream flow between the release and the exhaust.
RBS Response: This analysis only credits 50% of thefree air volume for both the annulus and the azuiliary buildings.
This is consistent with all of the previous LOCA analyses. The annulus has the annulus mixing system which effectively dilutes the annulus atmosphere. The location andflow rates of the SGTS dampersfor the auxiliary building, in addition to the unit coolers located in the aux. building, ensure that the dilution assumed in the analysis is appropriate.As sutch RBS complies with these requirements in their entirety.
4.5 Primary containment leakage that bypasses the secondary containment should be evaluated at the bypass leak rate incorporated in the technical specifications. If the bypass leakage is through water, e.g., via a filled piping run that is maintained full, credit for retention of iodine and aerosols may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Similarly, deposition of aerosol radioactivity in gas-filled lines may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
RBS Response: Th7is analysis explicitly evaluates leakage that bypasses secondary containment via the secondary containment bypass (SCB) leakage term. SCB penetrations are tested in accordance with Appendix J and the site LLRT program. No credit is taken for retention in water filled lines. As such RBS complies with these requirements in their entirety.
4.6 Reduction in the amount of radioactive material released from the secondary containment because of ESF filter systems may be taken into account provided that these systems meet the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02.
RBS Response: Credit is taken for fitration by the SGT and MCRFA systems. These systems meet GL 99-02 and Regulatory Guide 1.52 assumptions. Therefore, RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
Assumptions on ESF System Leakage
- 5. ESF systems that recirculate sump water outside of the primary containment are assumed to leak during their intended operation. This release source includes leakage through valve packing glands, pump shaft seals, flanged connections, and other similar components. This release source may also include leakage through valves isolating interfacing systems. The radiological consequences from the postulated leakage should be analyzed and combined with consequences postulated for other fission product release paths to determine the total calculated radiological consequences from the LOCA. The following assumptions are acceptable for evaluating the consequences of leakage from ESF components outside the primary containment for BWRs and PWRs.
5.1 With the exception of noble gases, all the fission products released from the fuel to the containment (as defined in Tables I and 2 of this guide) should be assumed to instantaneously and homogeneously mix in the primary containment sump water (in PWRs) or suppression pool (in BWRs) at the time of release from the core. In lieu of this deterministic approach, suitably conservative mechanistic models for the transport of airborne activity in containment to the sump water may be used. Note that many of the parameters that make spray and deposition models conservative with regard to containment airborne leakage are nonconservative with regard to the buildup of sump activity.

==- RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 67 OF 71 ENTERGY RBS Response: For the liquid leakage term (ESF leakage), all activity other than Noble Gases is released directly to the suppressionpool as soon as it is released by the core. Therefore. RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
5.2 The leakage should be taken as two times the sum of the simultaneous leakage from all components in the ESF recirculation systems above which the technical specifications, or licensee commitments to item III.D.I.1 of NUREG-0737, would require declaring such systems inoperable. The leakage should be assumed to start at the earliest time the recirculation flow occurs in these systems and end at the latest time the releases from these systems are terminated.
Consideration should also be given to design leakage through valves isolating ESF recirculation systems from tanks vented to atmosphere, e.g., emergency core cooling system (ECCS) pump min-flow return to the refueling water storage tank..
RBS Response: RBS does not have any technical specification which is tied directly to this leakage term. This analysis assumes I gpm. This value is based on the RBS SER. It was considered by the NRC to be the maximum leakage that could "plausibly exist" without identification and isolation of the source. T7his leakage is assumed to be occurring at the onset of fuel damage and is assumed to last for the duration of the event. This is considered an exception to Regulatomv Guide
- 1. 183 reguirements.
5.3 With the exception of iodine, all radioactive materials in the recirculating liquid should be assumed to be retained in the liquid phase.
RBS Response: This analysis assumes that only iodine is released to the environment as a result of ESF leakage.
Therefore, RBS meets this requirement in its entirety.
5.4 If the temperature of the leakage exceeds 2121F, the fraction of total iodine in the liquid that becomes airborne should be assumed equal to the fraction of the leakage that flashes to vapor. This flash fraction, FF, should be determined using a constant enthalpy, h, process, based on the maximum time-dependent temperature of the sump water circulating outside the containment.
RBS Response: The maximurm design temperatefor the suppressionpool is 185 'F. therefore, this is not applicableto RBS.
5.5 If the temperature of the leakage is less than 212'F or the calculated flash fraction is less than 10%, the amount of iodine that becomes airborne should be assumed to be 10% of the total iodine activity in the leaked fluid, unless a smaller amount can be justified based on the actual sump pH history and area ventilation.
RBS Response: The flash fractionfor ESF leakage assumed in this analysis is 10%/a. therefore, RBS meets this requirement in its entirety.
5.6 The radioiodine that is postulated to be available for release to the environment is assumed to be 97% elemental and 3%
organic. Reduction in release activity by dilution or holdup within buildings, or by ESF ventilation filtration systems, may be credited where applicable. Filter systems used in these applications should be evaluated against the guidance of Regulatory Guide 1.52 and Generic Letter 99-02.
RBS Response: This analysis assumes 97% elemental and 3% organicforiodines released as a result of ESF leakage. As discussed above, SGTS meets GL 99-02 and Regulatory Guide 1.52 requirements. Therefore, RBS meets these requirementsin their entirety.
Assumptions on Aain Steam Isolation Valve Leakage in BWRS
- 6. For BWRs, the main steam isolation valves (MSIVs) have design leakage that may result in a radioactivity release. The radiological consequences from postulated MSIV leakage should be analyzed and combined with consequences postulated for other fission product release paths to determine the total calculated radiological consequences from the LOCA. The following assumptions are acceptable for evaluating the consequences of MSIV leakage.
6.1 For the purpose of this analysis, the activity available for release via MSIV leakage should be assumed to be that activity determined to be in the drywell for evaluating containment leakage (see Regulatory Position 3). No credit should be
CALC. NO. - REV. ADDENDUM CALCULATION COVER PAGE G13.18.9.5*061-01 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ATTACHMENT NO.: A ENTERGY RIVER BEND STATION PAGE: 68 OF 71 assumed for activity reduction by the steam separators or by iodine partitioning in the reactor vessel.
ABS Response: The MSIV leakage term is assumedto be releaseddirectlyfrom the dryvell atmosphere. No credit is taken for activity reduction by the steam separatorsor by iodiniepartitioningin the reactorvessel. Therefore. RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
6.2 All the MSIVs should be assumed to leak at the maximum leak rate above which the technical specifications would require declaring the MSIVs inoperable. The leakage should be assumed to continue for the duration of the accident. Postulated leakage may be reduced after the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, if supported by site-specific analyses, to a value not less than 50% of the maximum leak rate.
RBS Response: The allowable leakage ratefor each division of the MSJVs (and the drain line isolationvalves) is 150 scfh at Pa. This analysis assumed a failure of I MSIV (in addition to the failure of one EDG). The leakage rate through the second MSIV is assumed to be 50 scfh ratherthan the total allowable leakage rate of 150 sc/h. No leakage is assumed from the remainder of the MSLs. Attachment B demonstrates that the MSIVs close such that the pressure betveen the valves is significantly higher than containmentforat least 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. Note that the RELAP analysis was performed at pre-uprate operational conditions, however, engineeringjudgement and the results clearly support the assumption that no leakage would occurfor the first 25 minutes. RBS has the Main Steam Positive Leakage Control System (MSPLCS).
Division I pressurizes the volume between the AIS! s. Division II pressurizes the 98 valves. This system is assumed to be initiated20 minutes into the event. Itfiurther assumes an additional 5 minutes for the system to filly pressurize. This the MSIV release is terminated 25 minutes into the event. This is considered an exception to Regulatory Guide 1.183 requirements.
6.3 Reduction of the amount of released radioactivity by deposition and plateout on steam system piping upstream of the outboard MSIVs may be credited, but the amount of reduction in concentration allowed will be evaluated on an individual case basis. Generally, the model should be based on the assumption of well-mixed volumes, but other models such as slug flow may be used ifjustified.
RBS Response: This analysis did not credit any deposition or plateout on the Main Steam piping. Therefore, RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
6.4 In the absence of collection and treatment of releases by ESFs such as the MSIV leakage control system, or as described in paragraph 6.5 belowv, the MSIV leakage should be assumed to be released to the environment as an unprocessed, ground-level release. Holdup and dilution in the turbine building should not be assumed.
RBS Response: The MSIV leakage is assumed to be releasedfrom the turbine building as a unprocessedground level release.It is terminatedat 25 minutes when the MSPLCS 6.5 A reduction in MSIV releases that is due to holdup and deposition in main steam piping downstream of the MSIVs and in the main condenser, including the treatment of air ejector effluent by offgas systems, may be credited if the components and piping systems used in the release path are capable of performing their safety function during and following a safe shutdown earthquake (SSE). The amount of reduction allowed will be evaluated on an individual case basis.
RBS Response: This analysis did not credit any holdup or deposition in the main steam piping or the main condenser.
Therefore, RBS meets these requirements in their entirety.
Assumption on Containment Purging
- 7. The radiological consequences from post-LOCA primary containment purging as a combustible gas or pressure control measure should be analyzed. If the installed containment purging capabilities are maintained for purposes of severe accident management and are not credited in any design basis analysis, radiological consequences need not be evaluated. If the primary containment purging is required within 30 days of the LOCA, the results of this analysis should be combined with consequences postulated for other fission product release paths to determine the total calculated radiological consequences from the LOCA. Reduction in the amount of radioactive material released via ESF filter systems may be taken into account provided that these systems meet the guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.52 (Ref. A-5) and Generic Letter 99-02 (Ref.A-6).
