Thc attached original"

>C thc HPDES Discharge Honitoring Report (T-40), have been pr~vided to you as a master.

The permit establishes specif'c effluent monitoring and,reporting requirements and these valu's are zepeated on the original Discharge Honitoring Report ozovided "for you.

The "N/A" placed in the permit condition blc. k of the Discharge Honitoring Report indicates one of two things:

(1) that the parameter is monitored but no limitations aze impc>>cd, and the pertinent value must be

reported, or (2) that thc,azameter is limited elsewhere on the Discharge Honitoring Report, and the value should be reported if it is available Your zeports are to be-ubmittcd by utili=ing copies of the attached forms Do not hpri

.. on or 'send the attached ozi inals ha ttttthhee (I) make copies:

'them, (2) iiiioct the copies as apprqpriatc, (3) make the necessary copies of the completed (filled out) fcrm, and (4) submit t!

sc copies to the appropriate EPA and State offices as provided in the permit

F-27

l. Usc N/A in thc "permit condlt.'i>n" block when thc parameter docs not have a corrc8pondtng pur>>>lt 3 lml(:> li>n or wl>cn l.l>u p>>ra>>ul.ur I:> jlmtted l>y a concentration value but a rcpi~rtcd quantity value may bc useful.

Also, it should bc used in thc mini

>na and avcragc blocks wl>cn there are no corresponding limitations.

2.

Use *"**in both the "permit undition" and the "reported" block when both the permit has no limita'ions and no monitoring requirements and.

the value, if reported would:.c either useless or incorrect.

(cg. - a reported Flow in concentration area of the DiR) 3.

Do not leave any "permit cond;>Dion" blocks blank.

4. All permit conditions includ::". parameters required to be monitored only should bc filled in "as approp:>ate.

5.

The parameter pH should be li> tcd in the concentration area of the DNR since it is a measure of i >c concentration of hydrogen ions.

Through use of the '"8/A" th. permittee has thc option of reporting a value.

In cases where the paran,i,tcr is monitored but no limitations are

imposed, the value must bc. rcpor:>d.

In cases where thc parameter is limited in the concentration port:on of thc-DIE> thc usc of the "U/A" in the quantity portion will allow:;n permittee to report the quantity value if it is available.

Also, nlimitcd minimum and average values may be reported if they are availabl,.

Through usc of the "****"tb. unnecessary values which arc sometimes repor ed will be eliminated.

Dear !lr. Ulanowski:

Durin our meeting of!farch 4, 1980 at Nilkcs Barrc we discussed our subnittal of January 9, 1960 regaxding Special Condition C of our NPDES Pcxnit !.'004732S.

Our subnittal include'd a predictive model to satisfy this condition.

During this necting you rcqucstcd that PPOL submit a progm for confirmation of predicted oxganisn entrainment values.

You also concurred with our conclusion that impingement losses would bc negligible and that further nonitoring would not bc required.

Accordingly, wo are submitting a pxoposcd verification progran for entrainment values for fish larvae which i~e iccl certain willverify our predictive model.

This program is as follows:

III, Sample Volumc-o

• calibrated volume dclivcry pump with a discharge collection filter will be used which dclivcrs approximately 500 gallons pcr minute.

Since tho sample will bo of about 5 minutes duration, each sample volumo will be about 2S00 gallons.

IV.

Identification-o Fish larvae collected will bc identified to the lowest feasible taxon.

V Program Duration-o This program wil'1 be conducted for a period of three months during the spawning season which at thc Susq.

Final results will bo reported to you as an addendum to our routine annual report which is conplctcd prior to?hy 1st of thc year following data collection.

Copies will be supplied to your office after preparation.

Although you suggcstcd a sampling frequency of four hours rather than tho eight hour frequency described

abovo, we have dctczmincd that this cannot be accomplished without significant adverse impact on the intake pumps.

Since tho cooling towers will not be in operation during this sampling period thero will bc no ovaporation and thc intake rate will cx~.cc<. the blowdown rate.

As a result it will be necessary to cycle thcsc pumps on and off to permit blowdown of water accumulated in tho cooling tower basins between sampling periods.'hcso puaps are designed for continuous operation and a limited nur her of cycles are permitted.

nc have therefore.

proposed a eight hour interval betwcon sampling periods.

You suggested also in our meeting that we should consider sampling at bottom, middlo and surface levels.

lac caret at this timo determine a

practical method for sampling at thrcc diffcrcnt lcvcls.

Ifc have detcnuncd however from our data on existing river concentrations of fish larvae that thcso organisms tend to group at either thc bottom or surfaco lovel.

Ifc consider that thcro will be no loss of confidence in verification of the program with tho described sampling.

ASSUMPTIONS RELATED TO ESTIMATES OF FUEL-CYCLE HEALTH EFFECTS The following important assumptions were used to evaluate fuel-cycle health effects.

1.

The Uranium Fuel C cle~

a e b.

c ~

For mine and mill emissions it was assumed that population density in the United States varies from 4.3 persons per square kilometer in the west to 93 persons per square kilometer in the east, all uniformly distributed.

For all other facilities, density was assumed to be 93 persons per square kilometer.

Most of the calculated health effects would occur outside the 80-km radius of the plant.

The mortality rate for the U.S. population is about 2,000,000 per year from all causes.

A "box" atmospheric dispersion model was used; vertical dispersion was limited to 1000 m, wind speed to 2 m/s, and deposition velocity to 1 cm/s for all particulates except those resulting from decay of noble gases (including radon-222 daughters, for which a velocity of 0.3 cm/s was assumed.

The dose commitment from one year of operation for each type of fuel-cycle facility was calculated.

This dose coranitment represents the sum of the 50-year dose comnitments from one year of operation and each of the subsequent 99 years (i.e.,

a 100-year envi-

. ronmental dose coranitment).

In the case of radon-222, the health effects estimates are based on the estimated 100-year dose -commitments for the radon-222 releases each year per reference reactor year for periods up to 1000 years.

In the case of carbon-14, the environmental dose comnitment was extended to encompass environmental dose coranitments of 'i00 to 1000 years.

d.

Radioactive materials were not considered to be removed from food chains except by radioactive decay.

Only in the case of carbon-14 was an environmental sink assumed to

~

.be acting on biological availability.

e.

9 ~

h.

Krypton-85 and carbon-14 not removed from the plume in the United States were assumed to mix uniformly in the world's atmosphere.

Tritium was assumed to be mixed uniformly in the world's circulating water volume.

Resuspensions of deposited particulates was considered.

Bioaccumulation of radioactivity in food chains was considered (generally upper-bound estimates).

An 80$ capacity factor was assumed.

2.

The Coal Fuel C cle~-"

Because the major impact of the coal fuel cycle results from power-plant emissions, only the critical assumptions concerning emissions will be discussed:

a.

Actual population distributions within 80 km of several nuclear plant sites were used; the average population of 3.8 million people experiences about a 25,000 per year mortality rate from all causes.

b.

cs d.

e.

Actual meteorological data from the same plants, to calculate inhalation exposures to sulfates out to 80 km, were used.

A 1000-ft stack for emissions was assum'ed.

Use of 3'A-sulfur coal with 12K ash and 28 N/kg (caste'rn coal) for an upper-bound estimate of health effects was assumed; use of 0.4%-sulfur coal with 3% ash and 28 HJ/kg,(eastern coal) for a lower-bound estimate was assumed.

A removal of 99K particulates from plant emissions was assumed.

H-1

,. H-2 f.

A 10%-per-hour oxidation rate for conversion of sulfur oxides to sulfates was assumed.

g.

The dose-response relationships of-Lave and Seskin,s Winkelstein et al.,e and others

~ s~~ were used to calculate excess mortality and morbidity; adjustments were made for fractions of sulfates in the total suspended particulates.

h.

Resuspension of deposited particulates was not directly considered, although deposition wase i.

A 75K capacity factor was assumed.

APPENOIX J REBASELINING OF THE RSS RESULTS FOR BMRs The results of the Reactor Safety Study (RSS) have been updated.

The update was done largely to incorporate results of research and development conducted after the October 1975 publication of the RSS and to provide a baseline against which the risk associated with various LMRs could be consistently compared.

Primarily, the rebaselined RSS results reflect use of advanced modeling of the processes involved in meltdown accidents, i. e., the MARCH computer code modeling for transient and LOCA initiated sequences and the CORRAL code used for calcu-lating magnitudes of release accompanying various accident sequences.

These codes" have led to a capability to predict the transient and small LOCA initiated sequences that is considerably advanced beyond what existed at the time the Reactor Safety Study was completed.

The advanced accident process models (MARCH and CORRAL) produced some changes in our estimates of the release magnitudes from various accident sequences in MASH-1400.

These changes primarily involved release magnitudes for th'e iodine, cesium and tellurium families of isotopes.

In general, a decrease in the iodines was predicted for many of the dopinant accident sequences while some increases in the release magnitudes for the cesium and tellurium isotopes were predicted.

Entailed in this rebaselining effort was the evaluation of individual dominant accident sequences as we under stand them to evolve rather than the technique of grouping large numbers of accident sequences into encompassing, but synthetic, release categories as was done in MASH-1400.

The rebaselining of the RSS also eliminated the "smoothing technique" that was criticized in the report by the Risk Assessment Review Group (sometimes known as the Lewis Report; NUREG/CR-0400).

In both of the RSS designs (PMR and BMR), the likelihood of an accident sequence leading to the occurrence of a steam explosion (6) in the reactor vessel was decreased.

This was done to reflect both experimental and calculational indica-tions that such explosions are unlikely to occur in those sequences involving small size LOCAs and transients because of the high pressures and temperatures expected to exist within the reactor coolant system during these scenarios.

Furthermore, if such as explosion were to occur, there are indications that it would be unlikely to produce as much energy and the massive missile-caused breach of containment as was postulated in MASH-1400.

For rebaselining of the RSS BMR design, the sequence TCy'described later) was explicitly included into the rebaselining results.

The accident processes associated with the TC sequence had been erroneously calculated in WASH-1400.

In general, the rebaselined results led to slightly increased health impacts being predicted for the RSS BWR design.

This is believed to be largely attributable to the inclusion of TCy'.

t s ou e note that the MARCH code was used on a number of scenarios in connection with the TMI-2 recovery efforts and for post-TMI-2 investigations to explore possible alternative scenarios that TNI-2 could have experienced.

In summary, the rebaselining of the RSS results led to small, overall differences from the predictions in WASH-1400. It should be recognized that these small differences due to the rebaselining efforts are 'likely to be far outweighed by the uncertainties associated with such analyses.

The accident sequences identified in the rebaselining effort which are expected to dominate risk of the RSS-BWR design are briefly described below.

These sequences are assumed to represent the approximate accident risks from the Susquehanna BMR design..

Each of the accident sequences is designated by a string of identification" characters in the same manner as in the RSS (See the table of these symbols in page H-4).

Each character represents a failure in one or more of the important plant systems or features.

For example, in sequences having a y't the end of the string, it means a particular failure mode (overpressure) of the contain-ment structure (and a rupture location) where a release of radioactivity takes place directly to the atmosphere from the primary containment.

In the sequence having a y at the end of the string, the containment failure mode is again by overpressure but this time, the rupture location is such that the release takes place into the reactor building (secondary containment) before discharging to the environment.

In this latter (y) case, the overall magnitude of radioactivity release is somewhat diminished by the deposition and plateout processes that take place within the reactor building.

TC 'nd TC These sequences involve a transient event requiring shutdown of the reactor while at full power, followed by a failure to make the reactor subcritical (i.e., terminate power generation by the core).

The containment is assumed to be isolated by these events;

then, one or, the other of the following chain of events is assumed to happen:

(a)

High pressure coolant injection system would succeed for some time in providing makeup water to the core in sufficient quantity to cope with the rate of coolant loss through relief and safety valves to the suppres-sion pool of the containment.

During this time, the core power level varies, but causes substantial energy to be directed into the suppression pool; this energy is in excess of what the containment and containment heat removal systems are designed to cope with.

Ultimately, in about l-l/3 hours, the containment is estimated to fail by overpressure and it is assumed that this rather severe structural failure of the containment would, disable the high pressure coolant makeup system.

Over a period of roughly l-l/2 hours after breach of containment, it is assumed the core would melt..

This has been estimated to be one of the more dominant sequences in terms of accident risks to the public.

(b)

A variant to the above sequence is one where the high pressure coolant injection system fails somewhat earlier and prior to containment over-pressure failure.

In this case, the earlier melt could result in a reduced magnitude of release because'ome of the fission products discharged to the suppression pool, via the safety and relief valves, could be more effectively retained if the pool remained subcooled.

The overall accident consequences would be somewhat reduced in this earlier, melt sequence but ultimately, the processes accompanying melt Je.g.,

noncondensibles,

steam,

and steam pressure pulses during reactor vessel melt-through) could cause overpressure failure.(y or y') of the containment.

TM 'nd TM The TM sequence involves a transient where the reactor has been shut down and containment has been isolated from its normal heat sink (i.e., the power conver-sion system}.

In this sequence, the failure to transfer decay heat from the core and containment to an ultimate sink could ultimately cause overpressure failure of containment.

Overpressure

.failure of containment would take many, many hours, allowing fo'r repair or other emergency actions to be accomplished; but, should this sequence occur, it is assumed that the rather severe structural failure of containment would disable the systems (e.g.,

HPI, RCIC) providing coolant makeup to the reactor core.

(In the RSS design, the service water system which conveys heat from the containment via RHR system to the ultimate sink was found to be the dominant failure contribution in the TM sequence.)

After breach of containment, the core is assumed to melt.

T UV 'E '~~E'aE 'nd T

UV AE Sq~ESa~E Each of the accident sequences shown grouped into the two bracketed categories above are estimated to have quite similar consequence outcomes and these would be somewhat smaller than the TCy',y and TMy'equences described above.

In

essence, these sequences, which are characterized as in the RSS, involve fai lure to deliver makeup coolant to the core after a

LOCA or a shutdown transient event requiring such coolant makeup.

The core is assumed to melt down and the melt processes ultimately cause overpressur e failure of containment (either y'r y).

The overall risk from these sequences is expected to be dominated by the higher frequency initiating events (i.e., the small LOCA (S2) and shutdown transients (T)).

APPENDIX,K EVACUATION MODEL "Evacuation,"

used in the context of offsite emergency response in the event of substantial amount of radioactivity release to the atmosphere in a reactor

accident, denotes an, early and expeditious movement of people to avoid exposure to the passing radioactive cloud and/or to acute ground contamination in the wake of the cloud'passage.

It should be distinguished from "relocation" which denotes a post-accident response to reduce exposure from long-term ground contamination.

The Reactor Safety <Study (RSS) conse'quence model contains provision for incorporating radiological consequence reduction benefits of public evacuation.

Benefits of a properly planned and expeditiously'carried out publ.ic evacuation would be well manifested in reduction of acute health effects associ-ated with early exposure; namely, in number of cases of 'acute fatality and acute radiation sickness which would require hospitalization. 'he evacuation model originally 'used in the RSS consequence model is described

<ASH j4OO(1) well as in NUREG-0340.

However, the evacuation model which has been used

. (2) herein is a modified version of the RSS model and is, to a certain extent, site emergency planning oriented.

The modified versi'on is briefly outlined below:

The model utilizes a circular area with" a specified radius (such as a 10 mile plume exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ)), with the reactor at the center.

It is assumed that people living.within portions of this area would evacuate if an accident should occur involving'imminent or actual release of

. significant quantities of radioa'ctivity to the atmosphere.

Significant atmospheric releases of radioactivity would in general be preceded by one or more hours of warning time (postulated as the time interval between the awareness of impending core melt and the beginning of the release of radio-activity from the containment building).

For the purpose of calculation of radiological exposure, the model assumes that all people who live in a fan-shaped area (fanning out from the reactor), within the circular zone with the down-wind direction as its median - i.e., those people who would potentially be under

,, the radioactive cloud that would develop following the release - would leave their residences after lapse of a specified amount of delay time~ and then evacuate.

The delay time is reckoned-from the beginning of the warning time and is recognized as the sum of the time required by the reactor operators to notify the responsible authorities, time required by the authorities to interpret the data, decide to evacuate, and direct the people to evacuate, and time required for the people to mobilize and get underway.

Mhile leaving the area, the model assumes that each evacuee would move radially out and in the downwind direction with an average effective speed~

(obtained by dividing the zone radius by the average time taken to clear the zone after the delay time) over a fixed distance~

from the evacuee's starting point.

A d

f 1

hfh 1dh h

f K-1

This distance is selected to be 15 miles (which is 5 miles more than the 10-mile plume exposure pathway EPZ radius).

After reaching the end of the travel distance the evacuee is assumed to receive no further radiation exposure.

(An important assumption incorporated in the RSS consequence model is that if the calculated ground dose to the total marrow over a 7-day period would exceed 200 rems in the regions beyond the evacuation

zone, then this high dose rate would be detected by actual field measurements following the accident and people from those regions would be relocated immediately.

Therefore, the model limits the period for ground-dose calculation to only 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for those regions.

When no evacuation at all,is assumed, this manner of ground-dose calculations applies to all regions, beginning from the reactor's location.

CRAC code implements this feature irrespective of the evacuation model used.)

The model incorporates a finite length of the radioactive cloud in the downwind direction which would be determined by the product of the duration over which the atmospheric release would take place and the average windspeed during the release.

It is assumed that the front and the back of the cloud formed would move with an equal speed which would be the same as the prevailing windspeed; therefore, its length would remain constant at its initial value.

At any time after the release, the concentration of radioactivity is assumed to be uniform over the length of the cloud.

If the delay time would be less than the warning time, then all evacuees would have a head-start,

i. e., the cloud would be trail-ing behind the evacuees initially.

On the other hand, if the delay time would be more than the warning time, then depending on initial locations of the evacuees there are possibilities that (a) an evacuee will still have a.head-start, or (b) the cloud would be already overhead when an evacuee starts out to leave, or (c) an evacuee would be initially trailing behind the cloud.

However, this initial picture of cloud-people disposition would change as the evacuees travel depending on the relative speed and positions between the cloud and people.

It may become possible that the cloud and an evacuee would overtake one another zero, or one or more number of times before the evacuee would reach his or her destination.

In the model, the radial position of an evacuating

person, while stationary or in transit, is compared to the front and the back of the cloud as a function of time to determine a realistic period of exposure to airborne radionuclides.

The model calculates the time periods during which people are exposed to radionuclides on the ground while they are stationary and while they are evacuating.

Because radionuclides would be deposited continually from the cloud as it passed a given location, a person while under the cloud would be exposed to ground contamination less concentrated than if the cloud had completely passed.

To account for this, at least in part, the revised model assumes that persons are exposed to'the total ground contamination concentration, calculated to exist after complete passage of the cloud, when completely passed by the cloud; to one half the calculated concentration when anywhere under the cloud; and to no concentration when in front of the cloud.

The model provides for use of different values of the shielding protection factors for exposure from airborne radioactivity and contaminated

ground, and the breathing rates for stationary and moving evacuees during delay and transit periods.

It is realistic to expect that authorities would evacuate persons at distances from the site where exposures above the threshold for causing acute fatalities could occur regardless of the plume exposure pathway EPZ distance.

Figure I-1 K-2

illustrates the reduction in acute fatalities that, can occur by extending evacu-ation to a larger distance such as 15 yj, from the Susquehanna site.

Calculation shows that if the evacuation distance is increased to 20 mi, there would be no acute fatalities at all probability levels for this site.

Also illustrated in Figure I-1 is a pessimistic case for which no early evacuation is assumed and all persons are assumed to be exposed for the first 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> following an acci-dent and are then relocated.

The model has the same provision for calculation of the economic cost associated with implementation of evacuation as in the orginal RSS model:

For this purpose, the model assumes that for atmospheric releases of durations three hours or less, all people living within a circular area of 5-mile radius centered at the reactor plus all people within a 45'ngular sector within the plume exposure pathway EPZ and centered on the downwind directi'on would evacuate and temporarily relocate.

However, if the duration of release would exceed three hours the cost of evacuation is based on the assumption that all people within the entire plume exposure pathway EPZ would evacuate and temporarily relocate.

For either of these situations, the cost of evacuation and relocation is assumed to be

$125 (1980 dollar) per person which includes cost of food, and temporary shelter-ing for a period of one week.

A I;anal tnvsronmental Statement has been prepared that contains the second assessment of the e

ironmental impact associated with operation of the Susquehanna Steam Electric Station uant,to the guidelines of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and 10 CFR Part 51 of-the Commission's Regulations.

The station would be operated by the Pennsylvania Power and Light Company and Allegheny Electric Cooperative, Inc. at a site on Susquehanna River in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

The facility will employ two pressurized water reactors to produce 3293 megawatts thermal per unit.

A steam turbine generator will use'this heat to provide 1050 megawatts electric per unit.

The staff assessed the terrestrial, aquatic radiological, social,,

and economic benefits and costs associated with station operation, considered station accidents, their likelihood of occurrence, and their consequences; and also updated the discussion of need for power based on information available in 1980.
