Response to RAI Questions AADB 23 and AADB 25 Alternative Source Term Supplemental RAI Response Page 1 of 10

Background

By letter dated July 13, 2007, Exelon Generation Company, LLC (Exelon) submitted an application requesting a change to the Technical Specifications (TS), Appendix A, of Renewed Facility Operating License Nos. DPR-44 and DPR-56 for Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station (PBAPS), Units 2 and 3, respectively. The proposed change was requested to support the application of Alternative Source Term (AST) methodology at PBAPS, Units 2 and 3.

By electronic mail (e-mail) on July 18, 2008 and an updated e-mail on July 25, 2008, the U. S.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) transmitted six draft Request for Additional Information (RAI) questions pertaining to the meteorological and dose consequence issues related to AST.

The questions were identified as AADB RAI 20 through AADB RAI 25. By letter dated July 29, 2008, Exelon provided information in response to four of the six RAI questions (AADB 20, AADB 21, AADB 22, and AADB 24). The response to the remaining two questions would be provided in a supplemental response, since these questions focused on further evaluation of X/Q values and the need to submit revised calculations. The calculations requiring revision as a result of the changes in X/Q values are included in Attachments 2 through 5 of this submittal as listed below.

  • Attachment 2 - Revised Calculation PM-1 055, "Calculationof Alternative Source Term (AST) Onsite and Offsite X/Q Values," Revision 1 a Attachment 3 - Revised Calculation PM-1 077, "Post-LOCA EAB, LPZand CR Doses Using Alternative Source Term (AST)," Revision 1
  • Attachment 5 - Revised Calculation PM-1 057, "Re-analysisof Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA) Using Alternative Source Terms," Revision 2 In addition, Attachment 6 provides additional PAVAN input and output data files that were used in support of revising Calculation PM-1 055 (Attachment 2). These files use the 11 wind speed categories per Regulatory Guide 1.23, Revision 1.

Tables 1 through 4 below provide a summary of the changes made to the attached calculations.

Table 5 provides a summary comparing the dose values between the revisions in the calculations. Table 6 provides a summary of the revised X/Q (sec/m 3) values used.

Exelon agreed to provide a supplemental response to the remaining two RAI questions (AADB 23 and AADB 25) and submit the revised calculations by August 7, 2008. AADB 23 and AADB 25 have been restated below followed by Exelon's response. RAI Questions AADB 20, AADB 21, AADB 22, and AADB 24 are not discussed since the responses to these questions were the subject of the July 29, 2008 letter. The revised calculations also provide documentation and clarification for those responses discussed in the July 29, 2008 letter.

Alternative Source Term Supplemental RAI Response Page 2 of 10 NRC Question 4 (AADB RAI 23)

The response to NRC Question 12 (AADB RAI 12) of the licensee's May 23, 2008, letter stated that the reactorbuilding stack tops are at 305 feet (ft) mean sea level (msl) and the meteorological Tower 2 grade elevation is 367 ft msL NRC staff agrees that the elevation of the reactorbuilding stack tops is nearer the height of the meteorological Tower 2 grade elevation than the grade elevation of the River Tower or Tower 1A which are approximately 116 feet msL However, the reactorbuilding stack tops are about 60 feet below the Tower 2 grade elevation and therefore appearto be below the top of at leastpart of the bluff upon which Tower 2 is located. In addition, otherpostulated release locations such as the personnel access door, railway bay door,and groundhatches are at or near the plant structures on the river valley shoreline and appearto be at a height more nearly that of River Tower and Tower 1A.

Therefore, please provide justification that these postulated releases could not be impacted by localized air flow patterns in the valley. Further,please provide justification that use of the Tower 2 meteorological data in the PA VAN computer calculationsprovides the limiting atmospheric dispersion factors (x/Q values) for the low populationzone dose assessment.

Response

Topography near the Peach Bottom Site is complex. The facility is located on the shore of the Susquehanna River adjacent to a bluff. Effluent releases are postulated from multiple locations, including from short stacks and openings on top of facility structures, locations at or near ground-level at the facility, and from the 152 meter off-gas stack on the bluff.

Meteorological data from all three towers were utilized to generate atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q values), namely Tower 2 on the bluff, Tower 1 A near the shore in the vicinity of the Peach Bottom facility structures, and from the River Tower based in the Susquehanna River. In most cases, two (and in some cases three) sets of data were used to generate X/Q values for a single release/receptor pair. In every such case, the limiting (highest) X/Q values were selected for use in the dose assessment.

Meteorological Tower 2 is located on a bluff approximately 2600 feet (approximately 800 meters) from the Reactor Building stacks. Tower 2 has a grade elevation of 367 feet above mean sea level (msl), or 251 feet (76.5 meters) above station grade. Tower 1A is located at 119 feet msl approximately 1300 feet southeast of the Reactor Building stacks, and is also topographically situated very similarly to the Station (i.e., at the Susquehanna River's edge and immediately adjacent to the steeply higher terrain in the westerly, southwesterly, and southerly directions). The River Tower is approximately 1200 meters north-northeast of the Station. The River Tower measures winds at 45 feet above the river level, but stability class based on the, delta temperature parameter, in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23, is not monitored on the River Tower. However, Tower 1A, prior to its decommissioning in 1993, monitored the temperature difference between elevation 89 feet and elevation 34 feet. Tower lA is ideally situated adjacent to and based at essentially the same grade elevation as the Station so as to best represent the local dispersion conditions to which the Reactor Building stack releases are subject for over-river trajectories out to the EAB.

Alternative Source Term Supplemental RAI Response Page 3 of 10 While meteorological tower data measured on Towers 1A and the River Tower would not generally be representative of conditions at the LPZ, for purposes of conservatism additional LPZ X/Q values for the Units 2 and 3 Reactor Building stacks were calculated based on the meteorological data from Tower 1A located in the Valley immediately adjacent to the Peach Bottom Facility. Furthermore, these LPZ X/Q values are utilized to conservatively represent the Reactor Building Personnel Access Doors, Railway Bay Doors, Roof Scuttle, and Ground-Level Hatch for the Fuel Handling Accident analysis, and for a conservatively-assumed ground level release for the Control Rod Drop Accident analysis. Conservatively, corresponding EAB X/Q values for these accidents based on the meteorological data from Tower 1A are utilized as well.

For each time-averaging period, the use by PAVAN of the 11-bin joint frequency distributions based on Regulatory Guide 1.23, Revision 1, results in somewhat higher X/Q values for the EAB and LPZ, and for the other modeled distance values in support of the Off-Gas Stack to Control Room X/Q. These 11-bin joint frequency distributions were used in the development of the X/Qs for this response as well as for use in the dose calculations (Attachments 3 through 5).

NRC Question 6 (AADB RAI 25)

Updated Table 4.3-1 (LOCA Parameters)of the Enclosure to the May23, 2008, Peach Bottom response to a request for additionalinformation provides a set of control room atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q values) for containmentand ESF leakage releases via an off-gas stack release. Sheet 5 of Attachment A to the Enclosureprovides a second set of X/Q values for releases from the off-gas stack to the control room intake that were calculated in accordance with Section 3.2.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.194. The two sets of values appearto be for a single release scenario using two different methodologies. If this is the case, please identify which set you propose to establish as the new licensing basis control room X/Q values for postulated releases from the off-gas stack.

Response

The X/Q values used for the new licensing basis are shown in Table 6 below.

Alternative Source Term Supplemental RAI Response Page 4 of 10 Table 1 Calculation Chang~es Made to PM-1055 "Calculation of Alternative Source Term (AST) Onsite and Ofsite X1Q Values"

SUMMARY

Calculation PM-1055 is revised to determine more conservative ground level )(I values for the EAB and LPZ, developed using the meteorological wind and stability data from Tower 1lA. The EAB and LPZ XIQs were also recalculated using PAVAN with the finer wind speed categories described in Regulatory Guide 1.23, Revision 1. There are no changes made to the Control Room X/Q values except to those for Off-Gas Stack releases as a result of the PAVAN finer wind speed categories results.
