Dear Mr. Janjic,
SEQUOYAH NUCLEAR PLANT (SQN) - NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMIT NO. TN0026450 - REQUEST FOR BIOCIDE/CORROSION TREATMENT PLAN (B/CTP) REVISION APPROVAL Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) requests approval to implement the following changes to the Biocide/Corrosion Treatment Plan (B/CTP). The changes are necessary for SQN to address mollusk and microbiologically induced corrosion issues in plant systems that are essential for the safe and reliable operation of the plant. These systems are designed in accordance with Nuclear Regulatory Commission requirements and must function as designed in the event plant shutdown is required. As indicated in the B/CTP, the plant's safety related systems must be routinely chlorinated for four to twelve hours per day and up to twenty-four hours per day. SQN will continue to use previously approved products such as Spectrus CT1 300, Towerbrom 960, Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid bleach), Bentonite Clay, etc...
Att ched please find a revised B/CTP with the following requested changes.
- 1) The supplier of the raw water treatment program chemical products will change from Nalco to General Electric (GE). The new supplier's products are of "like-for-like" chemical composition to those used by Nalco.
- 2) SQN is requesting approval of the following three products - Depositrol PY5200, Flogard MS6236, and Spectrus BD1 500.
- 3) SQN plans to add Towerbrom 60m to our B/CTP, which is a minor change and does not require pre-approval. Towerbrom 60m is the exact same product as previously approved Towerbrom 960. It has a different trade name based on the container size.
Towerbrom 60m comes in a 5 gallon bucket and Towerbrom 960 comes in a tote. All relevant information (frequency of discharge, active ingredients, discharge concentration, maximum daily usage, MSDS, product bulletin, etc.) is the same as previously approved Towerbrom 960.
prIHuuuIe,4,e, cape printw on recyc ed paper
SQN plans to show compliance by use of mass balance calculations when possible. In the event detoxification with bentonite clay is required, SQN will obtain and analyze a daily confirmatorysample for the active ingredients in Spectrus CT1 300 during application. This analytical result may be used in conjunction with calculations to demonstrate protection of the receiving stream. These records will be maintained on site in accordance with NPDES permit requirements. Please note that SQN has conducted and passed toxicity testing in conjunction with non-oxidizing biocide treatments during the current permit term.
SQN requests written approval of this B/CTP no later than June 1, 2009 in order to facilitate effective treatment during the summer months. SQN will request changes to the B/CTP whenever changes in active ingredients, discharge concentrations, or maximum daily usage are necessary. Changes in-the trade name of the products and minor changes in equipment or methods of application will not require additional reviews or authorization for the B/CTP.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Ann Hurt at (423) 843-6714 or Stephanie Howard at (423) 843-6700 of Sequoyah's Environmental staff.

TN.0026450 RATIONALE for Raw Water Chemical Additives SQN Raw Water Treatment Programs The fundamental approach and active ingredients for the various treatment programs at SQN have not changed significantly in more than ten years. Products with slightly different formulations of the same active ingredients or constituents of concern and the processes or frequencies of applying those products have changed periodically. SQN will continue to use previously approved products such as Spectrus CT1300, Towerbrom 960, Sodium Hypochlorite (liquid bleach), Bentonite Clay, etc...
The changes in this proposal are:
- 1) The supplier of the raw water treatment program chemical products will change from Nalco to General Electric (GE). The new supplier's products are of "like-for-like" chemical composition to those used by Nalco.
- 2) SQN is requesting approval of the following three products - Depositrol PY5200, Flogard MS6236, and Spectrus BD1500.

Towerbrom 60m is the exact same product as previously approved Towerbrom 960. It has a different trade name based on the container size. Towerbrom 60m comes in a 5 gallon bucket and Towerbrom 960 comes in a tote. All relevant information (frequency of discharge, active ingredients, discharge concentration, maximum daily usage, MSDS, product bulletin, etc.) is the same as previously approved Towerbrom 960.
Treatment Plan Overview and Toxicity Summaries Document, Summary An overview of the proposed raw water treatment programs at SQN.
Plan Overview Several bench top toxicity studies on individual products and the synergistic effects of the various treatment programs have been conducted for TVA nuclear facilities. Results from these studies are incorporated into the attached summary of toxicity endpoints compared with projected instream product concentrations. Reports are available upon request. Ongoing documentation for protection against synergistic.
SQN Toxicity and/or chronic impacts by SQN's treatment programs is provided by Assessment Sunrmry routine 7-day toxicity testing at Outfall 101 (Diffuser discharge).
4/20/2009 SQN Biocide/Corrosion Treatment Plan Rationale 3
AN OVERVIEW OF RAW WATER CHEMICAL ADDITIVES Inspection and chemical treatment programs have been implemented at Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SQN) to control fouling, plugging, and pipe wall thinning of the raw water systems. Most of the chemicals used in these treatment programs are added at three locations Essential Raw Cooling Water (ERCW) intake for ERCW A train and ERCW B train and Raw Cooling Water (RCW) pump suction header for RCW to ensure these raw water systems are protected. These systems, the ERCW and RCW, are essential for the safe and reliable operation of the plant. SQN plans to show compliance with the treatment plans below using mass balance calculations where possible.
CARBON STEEL CORROSION INHIBITION SQN plans to use a combination of two chemicals to provide corrosion protection for carbon steel piping in the plant: a biodispersant, Spectrus BD1500 (nonionic surfactant) and a phosphate additive, Flogard MS6236. The products are injected into ERCW and RCW. Spectrus BD1500 is injected 2-3 times per week for 30 minutes, year round. Flogard MS6236 is injected into the RCW system continuously, except during periods of other chemical injection due to common injection lines. Flogard MS6236 is injected into the ERCW Train A & B system intermittently. The concentration of nonionic surfactant (Spectrus BD1500) in the plant effluents will not exceed 2.0 ppm, and phosphorous (Flogard MS6236) in the plant effluents will not exceed 0.2 ppm. It will continue to be necessary to apply these chemicals year round.
RAW COOLING WATER BIOCIDE TREATMENTS Protection of the raw cooling water systems from macro-invertebrates (mollusks) requires oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocide treatments. Oxidizing biocide treatments are. aimed at both macro-invertebrate and microbiologically induced corrosion (MIC) control. Non-oxidizing biocides are aimed at macro-invertebrate control. SQN plans to treat plant* systems for mollusk control with a non-oxidizing biocide, Spectrus CT1300 (previously approved). SQN plans to detoxify non-oxidizing effluents when required with Bentonite Clay (previously approved).
ROUTINE RAW WATER TREATMENT WITH OXIDIZING BIOCIDES (CHLORINATION)
To control macro invertebrates and microbiologically induced corrosion, routine raw water treatments with oxidizing biocide.(chlorination) are necessary for:
- 1. SQN plans to treat two to five days per week during cool weatherperiods and five to seven days per week during warm weather periods for four to twelve hours per day and up to twenty-four hours per day (continuous).
- 2. Periods of continuous oxidizing biocide treatment will also be required following treatments with the non-oxidizing biocide.
Towerbrom 960 (previously approved), Towerbrom 60m (exact same chemical as previously approved Towerbrom 960, but in a different container size), or sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach)
(previously approved) will be used for oxidizing biocide treatments. Application of any of-these products will be in compliance with the NPDES permit limits for Outfall 101, <0.10 mg/L as Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). This discharge limit will be determined by mass balance calculation.
NON OXIDIZING BIOCIDE TREATMENT (MOLLUSK CONTROL)
SQN will use Spectrus CT1 300 (previously approved) for 24-120 hours, 4-8 times per raw water system (RCW, ERCW-A, and ERCW-B) per year. SQN will show by mass balance calculation that the required concentrations are being met for each application. SQN plans to detoxify the effluent by treatment with bentonite clay (previously approved) when required and confirm the effectiveness of detoxification with daily sampling for the active ingredient in the effluent during the treatment period.
