• Purpose of Alternative Source Term (AST) NRC Submittal

" Address Control Room Habitability GL 2003-01

• Address Hatch unique MCR location inside Turbine Building

" Replace by May 31, 2010 interim licensing basis of 110 cfm MCR unfiltered inleakage (based on potassium iodide)

• AST provides the margin needed to bound 15 cfm (5 cfm actual inleakage plus 10 cfm for ingress/egress)

" AST based limiting MCR unfiltered inleakage 115 cfm (10 cfm for ingress/egress)

" Considers the impact of additional identified secondary containment bypass paths (0.9% increases to 2%)

" Considers bypass paths that go thru turbine building

" MCR/TSC Atmospheric Dispersion Factors updated with ARCON96 based on 3 years of data Energy to Serve Your Worldd

,8 Scope - AST Mitigating Features

• Full scope AST submittal - all 4 BWR DBAs analyzed

• LOCA is limiting DBA for main control room (MCR) inleakage

• FHA requires no mitigating features

• Remaining mitigating feature (not listed below) is use of sodium pentaborate for suppression pool pH control post-LOCA LOCA MSLB CRDA (fuel damage) (no fuel damage) (fuel damage)

DBA Dose Modeling - Overview

• Objective is to determine the maximum MCR inleakage without exceeding the dose limit of 5 rem TEDE LocaDose computer program is used to calculate doses for LOCA, CRDA, MSLB, and FHA based on the methodology of Regulatory Guide 1.183

• For MCR dose calculations, activity is released into the turbine building for three of the accidents (LOCA, CRDA, MSLB)

Since the activity concentration within the turbine building is higher than outside, all the MCR inleakage is assumed to be from the turbine building

• Since FHA release is not into the turbine building, MCR inleakage is assumed to be from outside

• For all accidents, TSC and offsite doses are calculated assuming no holdup in turbine building

• Maximum MCR inleakage is determined to be 115 cfm for LOCA, 155 cfm for CRDA, 150 cfm for MSLB, and unlimited for FHA

• TSC and offsite doses are within acceptance criteria 6

PolestarMethods for Activity Removal

• Polestar Methods

• Credit for activity removal by DW spray and sedimentation in steam lines/main condenser (ifopen pathway to main condenser can be assured and steam lines/main condenser are seismically rugged)

" STARNAUA for aerosol removal by sedimentation and spray

" Credit for aerosol impaction in MSIV leakage pathway (DF of 2 at first closed MSIV)

• Assumption that elemental iodine will adsorb onto surface of dispersed aerosol (i.e., elemental iodine removal rate that of aerosol except not greater than X = 20 per hour)

• pH calculated using STARpH

• DF for elemental iodine calculated on basis of pH = 8.3 at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> (end of spray removal period for elemental iodine) - no DF limit for particulate 14 Energy to Serve Youir World'

PolestarMethods for Activity Removal

• STARNAUA Inputs

• Initial aerosol size distribution and mass based on fuel melt experiments

" Spray flow (one pump) and fall height - 33% reduction to account for local impingement and drywell structures below spray pattern

• Spray droplet size increased to account for one pump

• Spray starts 15 minutes after start of accident (13 minutes after start of release with high radiation in drywell - same basis as VY/Columbia)

- DW thermal-hydraulic conditions (pressure/temperature/rh) from MAAP4

- Steam line temperature assumed same as normal operation

• Conservative aerosol impaction DF of 2 based on compilation of experimental data and models for inertial impaction filters

• Aspiration efficiency = 50% (very high for expected leak path conditions) 17 Energy to Serve Your World'

r PolestarMethods for Activity Removal

• Modeling of Steam Lines

" Leak path could actually plug and reduce or eliminate gaseous release as well as particulate release (not credited)

" Aerosol leakage from drywell reduced by a factor of 2 for steam line STARNAUA cases

" Size distribution taken from output of STARNAUA DW spray case

" Same process repeated for downstream steam line control volumes and for main condenser control volume (except for factor of 2 reduction in leaked mass)

" Only horizontal projection of steam lines credited for aerosol deposition

" Elemental iodine deposition in steam lines not credited except for DF of 2 at inlet (treated as deposited on aerosol at inlet to main steam lines but not in steam lines due to superheat and potential for re-evolution) 18 Energy to Serve Your World'

SERVICE AND INSTRUMENT AIR FLOWPATH (UNIT 2)

MMmww

Turbine Building HVAC Air Supply

+ The air for all Turbine Building HVAC dampers is supplied by interruptible instrument air. Failures can occur by:

" A break in the compressed air system.

" A mechanical or electrical failure.

" A major air dryer failure.

• Procedural guidance will be implemented to prevent cross-tie operation should an accident occur on one unit.

• A single failure in any unit can result in complete loss of both exhaust trains on the affected unit.

• Modifications to supply non-interruptible air to the Turbine Building HVAC dampers will be implemented by the end of 2009.

• No single failures exist that would impact both unit's Turbine Building exhaust capability.

• A single failure in any unit can result in complete loss of both exhaust trains on the affected unit.

• The only common mode issue that would affect both units is a seismic event.

• Unit 2 and Unit I Electrical MCCs will be walked down during the 2007 and 2008 outages and seismically evaluated.

Diesel GeneratorLoading

• Diesel generator loading is approaching its rating limits.

• Calculations show current KW loading above continuous ratings for some scenarios.

• Operators would be forced to make hard choices and be more selective in load reductions.

• Adding Turbine Building fan motors will require the diesel generators to operate within their overload rating.

• Operating in the overload rating reduces the life of the machine.

• The operatorsshould not be requiredto make hard choices to remove safety relatedpumps from service in order to load the Turbine Building fans on the safety related buses.

Standby Liquid Control System Assessment

• SLC function is control of the pH in the suppression pool following a design-basis LOCA.

• SLC assessed to confirm reliability to perform its AST function per NRC review guidelines, "Guidance on the Assessment of a BWR SLC System for pH Control."

• SLC pumps and valves are powered from the standby AC power supply and from separate buses.

• SLC is seismically qualified in accordance with Reg. Guide 1.29 and App. A to 10 CFR Part 100.

• SLC is incorporated into the plant's ASME Code ISI and IST Programs.

• SLC is incorporated into the plant's Maintenance Rule Program.

• SLC meets 10 CFR 50.49.

> Environmental conditions are considered mild environment for SLC components.

> SLC associated cables are environmentally qualified.

• Although SLC is subject to a single failure, non-redundant active components are reliable to perform the AST function.

> Injection check valves are shown to be highly reliable.

> Although SLC initiation control switch failure is unlikely, it is located in the Main Control Room which is continually manned with provisions in place for manual SLC initiation.

Technical Specification Changes

• AST implementation includes the following key technical specification changes:

• Standardize MSIV total allowed leakage rates between units at 100 scfh

• DEl-1 31 specific activity of reactor coolant revised from 4.0 pCi/gm to 2.0 pCi/gm

• Add secondary containment bypass leakage to Unit 1 and increase value for Unit 2 (2% for both units)

• Add drywell spray Technical Specification
