REFUELING OPERATIONS BASES 3 4.9.10 AND 3 4.9.11 WATER LEVEL -
REACTOR VESSEL AND NEW AND SPENT FUEL POOLS The restrictions on minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 99% of the assumed iodine gap activity released from the rupture of an irradiated fuel assembly.
The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the safety analysis.
According to Regulatory Guide 1.25, Revision 0, there is 23 feet of water between the top of the damaged fuel bundle and the fuel pool surface during a
fuel handling accident.
With 23 feet of water,. the assumptions of Regulatory Guide 1.25, Revision 0, can be used directly.
In practice, this LCO preserves this assumption for the bulk of the fuel in the storage racks.
In the case of a single bundle dropped and lying horizontal on top of the spent fuel racks;
- however, there may be <23 feet of water above the top of the fuel bundle and the surface, indicated by the width of the bundle, To offset this small nonconservatism, the analysis assumes that all fuel rods fail, 3 4.9. 12 FUEL HANOLING BUILDING EMERGENCY EXHAUST SYSTEM The limitations on the Fuel Handling Building Emergency Exhaust System ensure that all radioactive material released from an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere.
Operation of the system with the heaters operating for at least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.
The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assumptions of the safety analyses.
ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a
procedural guide for surveillance testing.
Criteria for laboratory testing of charcoal and for in-place testing of HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers is based upon removal efficiencies of 95% for organic and elemental forms of radioiodine and 99% for particulate forms.
The filter pressure drop was chosen to be half-way between the estimated clean and dirty pressure drops for these components.
This assures the full functionality of the filters for a prolonged period, even at the Technical Specification limit.
