Letter from Virginia Electric and Power Company to USNRC, "Virginia Electric and Power Company (Dominion), Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2, License Amendment Request, Measurement Uncertainty Recapture Power Uprate," Serial No.09-223, January 27, 2010 By letter dated January 27, 2010 (Serial No.09-223), Dominion submitted a measurement uncertainty recapture (MUR) power uprate License Amendment Request (LAR) for Surry Power Station Units 1 and 2 to increase the rated power of each unit by approximately 1.6%.
On the same date, proprietary information (for the Cameron ultrasonic flowmeter) required to support the license amendment request was submitted under separate cover (Serial No. 09-223A).
During a January 12, 2010 conference call, Dominion noted that we would also be providing a supporting submittal to facilitate the NRC's review of the plant accident analyses updates required by and discussed in the MUR power uprate LAR. These updates were identified during the preparation of the Surry MUR LAR. The attached information is being provided to support the NRC's overall MUR LAR review effort.
Serial No. 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280/281 Page 2 of 3 Specifically, three independent changes in inputs and assumptions are required to be incorporated into the Surry Units 1 and 2 Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) and Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident analyses revisions as follows:
- 1. Updated Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) X/Qs (approved in 2006, Reference 1),
- 2. Updated reactor coolant source term (change described in the MUR submittal, Reference 2), and
- 3. Updated steam flow (change described in the MUR submittal, Reference 2).
A discussion of the revised SGTR and MSLB dose consequences, based on the changes in the inputs and assumptions noted above, is provided in the attachment. In addition, the specific effect of the MUR power uprate on dose consequences as described in the MUR submittal is repeated in the attachment. The electronic media files and inputs to the RADTRAD model used for benchmarking are also enclosed in the attachment for the NRC's use as necessary.
In summary, the overall SGTR and MSLB dose consequences, as a result of all changes in inputs and assumptions supporting the MUR submittal, remain below the offsite and control room dose limits in 10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183.

During a January 12, 2010 conference call with the NRC staff, Dominion noted that it would be providing a supporting submittal to address plant accident analyses updates, which were identified during the Surry MUR technical review process, in support of the NRC's overall MUR LAR review effort.
Consequently, detailed supporting information is provided herein regarding the dose consequence analyses revised as a result of the MUR power uprate. There are a number of analysis assumptions, plant features, and specific modeling utilized in the calculation of the Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) and Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident analyses. The overall assumptions and modeling are unchanged from the current licensing basis.
Information is being provided that is pertinent to the SGTR and MSLB accidents. Within this supplement to the MUR power uprate LAR, the following information is provided:
" Analysis Assumptions and Key Parameter Values (Including current licensing basis values, revised values, and basis for any changes as a result of the MUR power uprate)
Dose modeling information applicable to RADTRAD 3.02
" RADTRAD 3.02 input and output files for the major release pathways associated with the SGTR and MSLB accidents (See enclosed electronic media.)
Benchmark comparisons to analysis results presented in the MUR power uprate LAR, comparing Dominion's LOCADOSE code with RADTRAD 3.02 results In general, three independent changes in inputs and assumptions are incorporated into the SGTR and MSLB analyses revisions:
- 1. Updated exclusion area boundary (EAB) X/Qs (approved in 2006, Reference 1)
- 2. Updated reactor coolant source term (change described in the MUR power uprate LAR, Reference 2)
- 3. Updated steam flow (change described in the MUR power uprate LAR, Reference 2)
The specific effect of the MUR power uprate on dose consequences is described in the LAR and is repeated in this -supplement. The overall SGTR and MSLB dose

STEAM GENERATOR TUBE RUPTURE (SGTR)
SGTR Analysis Assumptions & Key Parameter Values The LOCADOSE code is used to calculate the radiological consequences from airborne releases resulting from a SGTR at Surry to the EAB, low population zone (LPZ), and Control Room.
For operation at the proposed MUR power uprate conditions, the RCS coolant activity source term was updated to accommodate the core power increase (2605 MWt),
current operation with 18 month fuel cycles and 1% fuel defects. The updated RCS source term indicates an increase in the inventory of long-lived isotopes in the coolant compared to the current license basis values.
The revised SGTR analysis incorporates previously approved EAB X/Q values, an updated RCS coolant activity source term, and conservative increases in accident steam discharge assumptions.
Changes to key SGTR parameters are indicated in Table 1 using a side by side comparison of changed data.

Serial No, 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280, 281 Attachment Page 10 of 31 SGTR Modeling This section describes modeling techniques using RADTRAD 3.02 to represent the SGTR accident. A brief description is provided along with names of the RADTRAD 3.02 input files generated. An electronic copy of the RADTRAD 3.02 files is provided in the enclosure.
The pre-accident spike scenario is broken up into three different RADTRAD models as follows: 1) iodine spike, 2) RCS particulate with no iodine, and 3) noble gas. Daughter production is factored into each model.
The concurrent spike scenario is also broken up into three slightly different RADTRAD models: 1) iodine spike, 2) RCS particulate with 1 pCi/gm DEQ 1-131, and 3) noble gas.
Daughter production is factored into each model.
Since the Nuclide Inventory Files (NIF) are based on activity in units of pCi/gm, the Plant Power Level in the RADTRAD files has been adjusted to 182.6 to convert the specific activity to total curies based on RCS mass of 1.826E+08 gin. The NIF file associated with the concurrent iodine spike reflects total curies so the Plant Power Level in the concurrent iodine spike runs has been adjusted to 1.
The source term fraction for the RCS is 1. Source term fractions for the steam generators are based on affected SG (ASG) volume of 2052 ft3 and 4104 ft3 for the two intact SGs (ISG). The source term fractions for the ASG bulk liquid and ISG bulk liquid are 2.3E-02 [2052/ 8902 = 0.23, adjusted for difference in primary-secondary iodine limits (XO.1)] and 4.6E-02 [4104/ 8902 = 0.46, also adjusted for difference in primary-secondary iodine limits (XO.1)], respectively. Initial SG steam activity is assumed to be (0.0007X) the SG liquid activity source term fraction (based upon the mass ratio of steam and liquid in a SG) and an adjustment for partitioning/moisture carryover of 0.01.
No noble gases are assumed to be in the initial inventory of the SGs. The pre-accident spike runs incorporate an additional factor (0.1X) to the SG liquid,and steam source terms, for the iodine spike model only, since the spike is (1 OX) for the RCS; this ensures the secondary side DEQ 1-131 limit of 0.1 pCi/gm is maintained.
The concurrent spike model uses a Plant Power Level of 1 since the eight hour spike inventory in the NIF file is in total curies. Also, source fraction is set as 1 for the RCS only.' The NIF file used for this spike has been modified so that the iodine inventory reflects the total curies due to a (335X) spike over eight hours.

Serial No, 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280, 281 Attachment Page 23 of 31 MSLB Modeling This section describes modeling techniques using RADTRAD 3.02 to represent the MSLB accident. A brief description is provided along with names of the RADTRAD 3.02 input files generated. An electronic copy of the RADTRAD 3.02 files is provided in the enclosure.
The pre-accident spike scenario is broken up into three different RADTRAD models: 1) iodine spike, 2) RCS particulate with no iodine, and 3) noble gas.
Daughter production is factored into each model.
The concurrent spike scenario is also broken up into three slightly different RADTRAD models: 1) iodine spike, 2) RCS particulate with 1 pCi/gm DEQ 1-131 and 3) noble gas. Daughter production is factored into each model.
Since the NIF files are based on activity in units of pCi/gm, the Plant Power Level in the RADTRAD files has been adjusted to 182.6 to convert the specific activity to total curies based on RCS mass of 1.826E+08 gm. The NIF file associated with the concurrent iodine spike reflects total curies so the Plant Power Level in the concurrent iodine spike runs have been adjusted to 1.
The source term fraction for the RCS is 1. Source term fractions for the steam generators are based on affected SG (ASG) volume of 2052 ft3 and 4104 ft3 for-the two intact SGs (ISG). The source term fractions for the ASG bulk liquid and ISG bulk liquid are 2.3E-02 [2052/ 8902 = 0.23, adjusted for difference in primary-secondary iodine limits (XO.1)] and 4.6E-02 [4104/ 8902 = 0.46, also adjusted for difference in primary-secondary iodine limits (XO.1)], respectively.
Initial SG steam activity is assumed to be (0.0007X) the SG liquid activity source term fraction (based uponrthe mass ratio of steam and liquid in a SG) and an adjustment for partitioning/moisture carryover of 0.01. No noble gases are assumed to be in the initial inventory of the SGs. The pre-accident spike runs incorporate an additional factor (0.1X) to the SG liquid and steam source terms, for iodine only, since the spike is (1OX) for the RCS; this ensures the secondary side DEQ 1-131 limits are not exceeded.
The concurrent spike model uses a Plant Power Level of 1 since the eight hour spike inventory in the NIF file is in total curies. Also, source fraction is set as 1 for the RCS only. The NIF file used for this spike has been modified so that the iodine inventory reflects the total curies due to a (50OX) spike over eight hours.
The dose results represent a composite of the 0.2/hr and 12/hr Turbine Building air changes because the 0.2/hr results in higher control room dose and the 12/hr results in higher EAB and LPZ doses. Maximum two hour EAB doses occurred in the 0 - 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> time frame for both pre-accident and concurrent events.
Serial No, 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280, 281 Attachment Page 24 of 31 It should be noted that control room ventilation modeling is somewhat unique because it is assumed that the control room is isolated at T=O and unfiltered inleakage (500 cfm) is from the intakes located in the Turbine Building because the ASG discharges into the Turbine Building. It is also assumed that an additional 500 cfm unfiltered inleakage occurs from the environment. Control room exhaust associated with these 2 inleakage terms is assumed as only 500 cfm even though inleakage totals 1000 cfm. This modeling technique is known to produce higher control room dose consequences and is therefore conservative.

Serial No, 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280, 281 Attachment Page 27 of 31 Comparison of LOCADOSE and RADTRAD 3.02 MSLB Dose Consequences The dose summary shown in Table 4 provides a comparison between the results from LOCADOSE versus RADTRAD 3.02. The LOCADOSE results are from the analyses of record (AOR). MUR power uprate reported results in the LAR are rounded up from the AOR values.
In general, the models and results produced using RADTRAD 3.02 compare favorably with the MSLB dose consequences calculated with LOCADOSE.
Offsite dose comparisons show LOCADOSE calculating higher doses than RADTRAD 3.02 (anywhere from 4% to 8% higher). Differences noted in calculated control room dose are believed to be an artifact of modeling inconsistencies in RADTRAD 3.02 that were identified in the RADTRAD 3.03 model update. Using an unofficial (demo) version of RADTRAD 3.03, the control room dose was re-evaluated. RADTRAD 3.03 results shown in (), seem to confirm the RADTRAD 3.02 logic error and compare favorably to LOCADOSE, with LOCADOSE producing higher doses.

- These results Were generated using RADTRAD 3.02. It is believed that the reason for the large.
difference in control room dose is due to a RADTRAD 3.02 logic error identified and corrected in RADTRAD 3.03. This error is associated with multiple release paths from a compartment to the environment causing a conservative error in control room dose, proportional to the number of paths. In this MSLB model, the Turbine Building has 2 discharge pathways to the environment. The values listed in parentheses 0 were generated using the same input files but were run on a DEMO version of RADTRAD 3.03. Since RADTRAD 3.03 is not part of Dominion's software QA program, the results are presented for information purposes only and should not be used as the basis for any licensing determination.
Serial No, 09-223B Docket Nos. 50-280, 281 Attachment Page 28 of 31 Reported Dose Consequences Tables 5 and 6 are duplicates of the dose consequences for the SGTR and MSLB analyses reported in the MUR power uprate LAR (Reference 2). Both tables are structured to show, in stepwise fashion, how the resulting offsite and control room dose consequences changed with each change in analysis assumption or input. As described above, the three changes incorporated into the revised SGTR and MSLB analyses are:
- 1. Updated EAB X/Qs
- 2. Updated reactor coolant source term
- 3. Updated steam flow Columns in Table 5 and 6 are labeled (A - D) in this supplement to provide an easy way to differentiate the step changes that result from each of the three parameter changes.
Column Description A
Existing values in the UFSAR B
Revised EAB dose using the approved EAB X/Qs (New Baseline)
C Increased dose consequences from the updated RCS source term for MUR power uprate conditions above the new baseline. The increase from B to C represents the increase caused only by the 6pdated RCS source term to bound power uprate conditions.
D Final dose consequences incorporating increased steam flow. The increase from C to D represents the increase in dose from increasing SG PORV flow necessary to maintain fidelity with analyzed accident flow analyses.
