  • ENCLOSURE 1 NUREG-0737 ITEM II.B.3 "POST ACCIDENT SAMPLING SYSTEM" CRITERIA, CLASSIFICATION AND RESPONSES CRITERION 1 The licensee shall have the capability to promptly obtain reactor coolant samples and containment atmosphere samples. The combined time allotted for sampling and analysis should be 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> or less from the time a decision is made to take a sample.

CLARIFICATION Provide information on sampling(s) and analytical laboratory locations in-cluding a discussion of relative elevations, distances and methods for sample transport. Responses to this item should also include a discussion for sample recirculation, sample handling and analytical times to demonstrate that the three-hour time limit will be met (see (6) below relative to radiation exposure). Also, describe provisions for sampling during loss of off-site power (ie, designate an alternative backup power source, not necessarily the vital (Class IE) bus, that can be energized in sufficient time to meet the three-hour sampling and analysis time limit).

RESPONSE

Valve numbers and sample points discussed in the response to Criterion 1 are referenced to the Palisades P&ID M219 Sheet 2. Primary coolant samples are collected from either the Primary Coolant System #2 Hot Leg via the Primary Coolant System sample valves CV-1911 to PASM valve CV-1912 or from the low pressure safety injection pump discharge to PASM valve CV-1913. The valves CV-1912 and CV-1913 are operated by a single control switch on the PASM control panel C-168 to prevent actuation of both sample flows simultaneously.

Upon notification of the sample requirement, a health physics technician and a sampling technician are dispatched to activate the PASM panel and conduct habitability monitoring as outlined in the Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-7.1, "Post Accident Sampling". The sampling technician activates the panel, prepares the sample cask, conducts an initial valve verification. The initial activation requires 15 minutes to complete. The sampling technician either requests the primary coolant sample containment isolation valves CV-1910 and CV-1911 opened by the control room or opens CV-1913 on the PASM control panel C-168 to initiate sample flow. The sampling technician checks the sample pressure and temperature and both technicians return to the assembly area. Flow adjustment valve manipulations and pressure/temperature verifications require 3 minutes to complete with an estimated maximum dose of 30 mrem wholebody to the sampling technician. The sample line is allowed to purge for 30 minutes to insure a sample representative of system conditions.

During the time the sampling technician is activating the PASM panel and initiating the sample purge, a different individual, the analysis technician, prepares and standardizes the analytical equipment in accordance with the OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 2 of 24

(*

Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-7.2, "Post Accident Analysis". Prepa ration and standardization of the analytical equipment requires approximately 45 minutes. When the equipment preparation is complete, the analysis tech-nician returns to the assembly area.

At about 50 minutes after sample notification, the sampling and analysis technicians return to their work stations. The sampling technician secures the sample flush and isolates the PCS sample in the sample flask, SF-1. The sample lines are flushed with demineralized water at this time to remove residual primary coolant from the sample lines, thereby limiting the exposure to the sample technician. Isolating the sample flask, SF-1, and initiating the sample line flush requires 3 minutes to complete with an estimated dose of 30 mrem to the sampling technician.

The 22 ml sample contained in SF-1 is allowed to of fgas into the pre-evacuated gas collection space, EV-1, by opening MV-1904. Nitrogen is purged up through the sample flask, SF-1, through MV-1938 to 30 psia to strip the entrained gases out of solution into EV-1. The gas stripping operation requires 6 minutes to complete with an estimated dose of 63 mrem to the sampling tech-nician.

Hydrogen Sample and Analyses A 14 cc gas sample vial is placed in a sample tong and inserted into the sample point SN-1. A syringe needle in SN-1 pierces the rubber septum on the sample vial to allow gas flow to the sample vial. The vial is evacuated using the flow path SN-1 to MV-1911 to MV-1912 to MV-1905 to Eductor E-1. MV-1905 is closed and MV-1912 is positioned to allow the offgas sample in EV-1 to flow to the sample vial. The flow path is from EV-1 through MV-1912 and MV-1911 to the sample vial. Valve manipulations require 6 minutes to complete with an estimated dose of 63 mrem whole body to the sampling technician. MV-1912 is closed and the sample vial is removed from the sample point SN-1 and trans-ported in the sample tong to the analysis station for hydrogen analysis. The primary analysis location is located 50' feet away from the PASM panel and requires 1 minute to complete the sample transport with an estimated extremity exposure of 28 mrem to the hands and 7 mrem whole body to the sampling tech-nician. Details of the hydrogen analysis are contained in the response to Criterion 4. The sample is placed in a shielded sample holder which is the inject part of the gas chromatograph used for post accident hydrogen analysis.

The gas chromatograph is designed to automatically inject and analyze 3 hydrogen standard gases and the post accident hydrogen sample. The analysis requires 20 minutes to complete but the analyst is not required to monitor the analysis which frees the analyst to perform other analyses concurrently.

Off-Gas Activity Sample and Analysis After returning to the PASM panel, the sampling technician places a 14 cc sample vial into a sample tong and inserts the tong and vial into the sample point SN-1. The sample vial is evacuated through l1V-1911, MV-1912 and MV-1905 to eductor E-1. MV-1912 is closed and MV-1911 is positioned to allow the offgas sample in EV-1 to expand into EV-lA. MV-1912 is positioned to allow 15 psia nitrogen through MV-1912 to MV-1911. MV-1911 is then positioned for flow OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • \
  • Attachment 1 Page 3 of 24 to the vial in SN-1. MV-1911 is designed as a "bite" valve which captures 0.023 cc of the offgas sample during the time the offgas sample is expanding from EV-1 to EV-lA. As MV-1911 is positioned for flow to SN-1, the 0.023 cc gas "bite" is forced into the sample vial by the nitrogen flow from MV-1912.

MV-1911 is repositioned for flow toward EV-lA and MV-1912 is closed. The gas spaces EV-1 and EV-lA are evacuated through MV-1911, MV-1910 and MV-1905 to eductor E-1 to remove residual radioactive gases in the system. Valve manipu-lation requires 6 minutes to complete with an estimated dose of 63 mrem whole body to the analyist. The sample tong containing the sample vial is removed from SN-1 and transported to the analysis station, the count room, for offgas radioactivity analysis. Details of the offgas activity analysis are contained in the response to Criterion 2. The analysis station is 90 feet from the PASM panel on the same level and the sample transportation requires 2 minutes with an estimated dose of 0.10 mrem whole body and less than 0.1 mrem to the hands of the analyst. The analysis of the offgas radioactivity sample requires 30 minutes but does not require monitoring by the analyst.

Diluted Liquid Sample And Analysis The sampling technician opens MV-1903 which allows the liquid contents of SF-1 to flow through MV-1913 and MV-1907 to the 4 cc vial in the sample cask. The motive force for the movement of the liquid is the vacuum placed on the sample zone in the initial panel preparation. MV-1913 is positioned for flow to MC-1. MV-1913 is designed as a "bite" valve to capture 0. 023 ml of liquid sample during the movement of the liquid past the valve. Demineralized water, 23 ml, from the manual diluter assembly DA-1 is forced through MV1913 which transfers the 0.023 ml sample to the diluter flask MC-1, which provides 1000:1 dilution of the liquid. Valve manipulations require 2 minutes with an esti-mated dose of 20 mrem whole body to the sampling technician.

The 1000:1 diluted sample is obtained from the diluter flask by means of a syringe shielded by ~ inch of lead. The sample is transported to the analysis station for liquid radioactivity analysis. The analysis station is 90 feet from the PASM panel which requires 2 minutes to complete with a dose of 80 mrem to the hands and 4 mrem whole body to the sampling technician. The liquid activity analysis requires 30 minutes to be completed but monitoring by the analyst is not required.

Undiluted Liquid Sample And Analysis To remove the 4 ml undiluted Primary Coolant sample from the PASM panel, the sampling technician activtes the remote cylinder control system and the needle inserted into the 4 ml sample vial is withdrawn. The shielded sample cask is rolled out of the PASM panel and taken to the analysis station. The analysis station is 50 feet away which takes 2 minutes to complete the transportation of the sample with an estimated dose of less than 0.1 mrem whole body to the sampling technician.

At the analysis station, the contents of the 4 ml sample vial in the shielded sample cask is transferred to a shielded 20 ml analytical vial by means of a shielded syringe. The transfer of liquid requires 10 seconds with a dose of 4 rem to the hands of the analyst and 6 mrem whole body.

OC0883-0009C-NL02

pH analysis is conducted on the liquid in the shielded vial using a pH probe.

The probe is inserted in the liquid using tongs to reduce the dose to the extremities. Insertion of the probe requires 15 seconds to complete with a dose of 20 mrem to the hands and 9 mrem whole body to the analyist. The pH analysis requires 5 minutes to be completed but monitoring by the technician is not required. This allows the technician to leave the area to minimize exposure to the sample.

One ml of the sample is pipetted to a 300 ml beaker for boron analysis. The pipette transfer requires 15 seconds to complete with an estimated dose of 20 mrem to the hands and 3 mrem whole body to the analyst. Rubber lineman gloves are employed during the transfer to minimize dose due to beta radiation.

The boron titration is completed by automatic titration and monitoring by the analyst is not required. This allows the analyst to leave the area to mini-mize exposure to the sample. The titration procedure requires 15 minutes to be completed.

Employing two technicians, one sampling technician and one analyst, the estimated time of completion of the sampling and analysis requires 2.5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br />.

Person-motion studies by the plant chemistry staff and the process capability demonstrated during the 19B3 Palisades Emergency Exercise held confirm that the 3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> limit can be met as required by NUREG-0737. A sample and analysis time line is provided on Attachment 1 to visually clarify the sequence of events and approximate time involved.

The Post Accident Sample panel, with the exception of three valves discussed below, is electrically supplied from the 125 VDC system via junction box JL121. Since the 125 VDC system is not dependent on offsite power, operation of the PASM panel during a loss of offsite power is unaffected. Valves SV-191B, SV-1919 and SV-1920 which control operation of the undiluted sample cylinder in panel C-103-1 are supplied by 125 VAC from LOB. In the event of a loss of offsite power, LOB can be energized from the Engineered Safeguards bus IC. An electrical block diagram of the Post Accident Sample monitoring system, DWG No. E-91B, Sheet 14, Rev. B, is provided as an attachment.

CRITERION 2 The licensee shall establish an onsite radiological and chemical analysis capability to provide, within three-hour time frame established above, quan-tification of the following:

(a) certain radionuclides in the reactor coolant and containment atmosphere that may be indicators of the degree of core damage (eg, noble gases; iodines and cesiums, and non-volatile isotopes);

(b) hydrogen levels in the containment atmosphere; OCOBB3-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 5 of 24 (c) dissolved gases (eg, H ), chloride (time allotted for analysis subject 2

to discussion below), and boron concentration of liquids.

(d) alternatively, have inline monitoring capabilities to perform all or part of the above analyses.

CLARIFICATION (a) A discussion of the counting equipment capabilities is needed, including provisions to handle samples and reduce background radiation (ALARA).

Also a procedure is required for relating radionuclide concentrations to core damage. The procedure should include:

1. Monitoring for short and long lived volatile and non-volatile radionuclides such as Xe-133, I-131, Cs-137, Cs-134, Kr-85, Ba-140, and Kr-188 (See Vol. II, Part 2, pp. 524-527 of Rogovin Report for further information).
2. Provisions to estimate the extent of core damage based on radio-nuclide concentrations and taking into consideration other physi-cal parameters such as core temperature data and sample location.

(b) Show a capability to obtain a grab sample, transport and analyze for hydrogen.

(c) Discuss the capabilities to sample and analyze for the accident sample species listed here and in Regulatory Guide 1.97 Rev. 2.

(d) Provide a discussion of the reliability and maintenance information to demonstrate that the selected on-line instrument is appropriate for this application. (See (8) and (10) below relative to back-up grab sample capability and instrument range and accuracy).

RESPONSE

2.(a).1 The ND6600 data acquisition and processing system used at Pali sades is contained in two units. One enclosure contains the combus, hardware to accomodate the plug-in system components, the system power supply and the nuclide identification file. The nuclide indentif ication file contains the information to identify the radionuclides specified and quantify the short and long lived volatile and non-volatile radionuclides for compliance to Cri-terion 2(a).1. The other unit is the ND6600 terminal which forms the operational control center of the system. It contains the display CRT, dual function keyboard, and four wide. NIM enclosure and power supply.

The NIM enclosure contains the NIM modules such as the amplifier, the ADC, peripheral interfaces, power supply for the detector and the acquisition cable linker. The limiting module component for counting capability is the ADC (analog to digit converter). The OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 6 of 24 I I ..

maximum rate of events that the linear gate of the ADC can receive is 8.5 + .0125 N events/usec. Converted to counts per second this value is approximately 10,000, which corresponds to .25 uCi. This is the maximum counting capacity that the Nuclear Data model 570 ADC can receive from the amplifier.

Considering the effect of counting geometry, the activity range that can be analysed for may be expanded. The self-absorbance factor, the attenuation factor and the random distribution of the sample in the geometry to be analysed are all contributing factors which will permit analysing a sample of increased activity. The amplifier (model 340 PGT) has a full width at half maximum range in which to work with. The ADC (model 570 ND) must also operate in this range. Any germanium-lithium (Geli) or high purity germanium (intrinsic) can be used. The NIM modules can suffi-ciently analyse a sample with up to 45% dead time on the sample before the FWHM 'curve' is altered. The calculated FWHM at 1332 KeV is preset in the header program of the computer and deviation from this curve can be seen on samples with greater than 45% dead time which will result in an inadequate analysis. At 45% dead time the spectrum has a total of 3000 counts/second. Using an accident primary coolant Ebar value at .7 mev/sec, the average efficiency and branching ratio for the Ebar value, the activity for a 15cc serum vial sample can be as great as 25 uCi/ml of sample, and 27 uCi/ml of sample for the 50 ml bottle geometry.

For the purpose of dilutions of the post-accident samples, an optimum range of 1-3 uCi at the detector was used for a 95%

confidence level in system counting capability.

The PASM panel delivers 5 ml of 1000:1 diluted coolant into the shielded syringe. A dose rate meter is held approximately 1 meter from the barrel of the syringe to estimate the radioactivity content of the sample based on the dose rate from the sample.

Based on the dose rate from the sample, the sample is diluted using a chart in the analysis procedure so the activity content at the detector is within the 95% confidence range.

Based on the dilutions to the 95% confidence level and the diluted and undiluted samples available from the PASM panel, the available range of analysis is approximately 1 uCi/g to 10 Ci/g as required in Criterion 9(a) and the accuracy is within a factor of 2 as required in Criteria 10(1).

2. (a) Currently, the capability to estimate core damage from radionuclide concentrations would have to be based on FSAR data.

Radionuclide concentrations for 1% failed fuel are provided and could be used to estimate total core damage by extrapolation.

This methodology does not take into account core temperature or other physical paraiile°ters. Nor is this methodology proce-duralized.

OC0883-0009C-NL02

'l

  • Attachment 1 Page 7 of 24 The ability to meet this criteria is to be based on a study by Combustion Engineering that is not yet available. The primary method now used to estimate core damage is contained in Emergency Implementing procedures and is based on containment building radiation levels and FSAR data.
2. (b) The capability to obtain grab samples, transport and analyze for hydrogen levels in the containment atmosphere is to be accom-plished using the hydrogen monitoring system. The hydrogen monitoring system has been installed up to the containment pene-trations which require a plant outage of greater than 15 days to complete as discussed in the attached correspondence "Order Confirming Licensee Commitments on Post-TMI Related Issues" dated March 14, 1983. The system installation is expected to be com-pleted during the 1983 refueling outage. Discussion of the method for compliance to the containment air grab sample and analysis will be completed 60 days after the system is declared operable.
2. (c) Discussion of capabilities to sample and analyze for the accident sample species listed in NUREG-0737 and in Regulatory Guide 1.97 Rev. 2 has been incorporated in the response sections which address the individual items. See sections 4, 5, 7 and 9 for the discussion of those items.
2. (d) Discussion of the reliability and maintenance information to demonstrate that the containment hydrogen monitor is appropriate for its application will be provided 60 days after the system has been declared operable.

CRITERION 3 Reactor coolant and containment atmosphere sampling during post accident conditions shall not require an isolated auxiliary system (eg, the letdown system, reactor water cleanup system (RWCUS)) to be placed in operation in order to use the sampling system.

CLARIFICATION System schematics and discussions should clearly demonstrate that post acci-dent sampling, including recirculation, from each sample source is possible without use of an isolated auxiliary system. It should be verified that valves which are not accessible after an accident are environmentally quali-fied for the conditions in which they must operate.

RESPONSE

The sample flow paths discussed in the response to Criterion 3 are referenced to the attached Palisades P&ID's M-201, M-204, M-211 Sheet 1, M-219 and M-219 Sheet 2.

OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 8 of 24 I 0 f.

The primary sample originates in the PCS loop 2A hot leg at the sample point SX-1023 (P&ID M-201). The motive force for sample __ ;f;:low is primary coolant system pressure.

After the sampling containment isolation valves CV-1910 and CV-1911 are opened during the performance of the Emergency Implementing Procedure EI-7.1, the sample flows through CV-1910 and CV-1911 (P&ID M-219) and through the sample coolers to the normal NSSS sample panel. Closure of the air operated valve CV-1908 at the end of the performance of the routine sampling procedure prevents post accident samples from entering the NSSS panel. The post acci-dent sample flows through the valve MV-PCS-100 to CV-1912 (P&ID M-219 Sheet 2). Sample flow proceeds through the filter (FILT 1), MV-1921, MV-1924, MV-1920, MV-1922, CK-1901, CK-1905 to 410-DRW (P&ID M-211 Sheet 1). Based on the conditions in the reactor containment building, the sample waste stream can be directed to the containment sump via CV-1103 and CV-1104 or to the dirty waste drain tank T-60 via the dirty waste drain header.

The secondary sample originates at the sample point SX-3336 (P&ID M-204) at the common discharge of the low pressure safety injection pumps when the primary coolant system is on recirculation through the shutdown cooling heat exchanger. The sample flows through SV-1914 (P&ID M-219), MV-ESS-100 to CV-1913 (P&ID M-219 Sheet 2) in the PASM panel. The sample flow through the PASM panel to waste is the same as described for the primary sample.

Samples from the PCS Loop 2A hotleg and the discharge of the low pressure safety injection pumps do not depend on an isolated auxiliary system, namely the letdown system, to secure post accident samples as required by Criterion 3.

The valves associated with the PASM system are located behind the NSSS sample panel and inside the PASM panel enclosure. The valves inside the PASM panel enclosure are accessable by the removal of the lead shielded back panels.

Since the valves behind the NSSS panel and inside the PASM panel enclosure are physically accessable, environmental qualification of the valves under the requirements of Criterion 3 is not necessary.

CRITERION 4 Pressurized reactor coolant samples are not required if the licensee can quantify the amount of dissolved gases with unpressurized reactor coolant samples. The measurement of either total dissolved gases or H gas in reactor 2

coolant samples is considered adequate. Measuring the o concentration is 2

recommended, but is not mandatory.

CLARIFICATION Discuss the method whereby total dissolved gas or hydrogen and oxygen can be measured and related to reactor coolant system concentrations. Additionally, if chlorides exceed 0.15 ppm, verification that dissolved oxygen is less than OC0883-0009C-NL02

'1

  • Attachment 1 Page 9 of 24 0.1 ppm is necessary. Verification that dissolved oxygen is less than 0.1 ppm by measurement of a dissolved hydrogen residual of greater than 10 cc/kg is acceptable for up to 30 days after the accident. Within 30 days, consistent with ALARA, direct monitoring for dissolved oxygen is recommended.

RESPONSE

Hydrogen concentration is measured in a depressurized primary coolant sample by grab sample from the PASM panel and related to primary coolant system concentration.

When MV1904 is opened, the gases in the primary coolant sample expand into the evacuated space of EV-1, the line between EV-1 and MV1912 and the line between EV-1 and MV1911 which has a total volume of 157 cc. The liquid sample is purged to 30 psia using nitrogen which strips the gas from the liquid to the gas space. The gas is then expanded into an evacuated 15 cc vial through MV1912 and MV1911. After the proper valve manipulations, the vial is removed from the sample point and transported to the analysis station.

The analysis of H is conducted using a Baseline Gas Chromatograph and hydro-2 gen standards specifically purchased for use in a post accident situation.,

The gas chromatograph injection mechanism is designed by Baseline to provide a programmed gas injection sequence of the hydrogen standards and the post accident gas sample. Using the standards during the analysis allows the analyst to verify the proper operation of the instrument at the time of the analysis. The hydrogen standards are used in terms of concentration as parts per million hydrogen. The gas chromatograph chart recorder is set to display the analytical peaks as peak height in chart units versus ppm hydrogen. The sample analysis injection pressure is also recorded on the chart recorder in terms of chart units versus sample injection pressure in psia to compensate for samples above 1 atmosphere in pressure. Compensation for the sample pressure above 1 atmosphere, even though the sample is expanded to essentially atmospheric pressure, allows the sample peak height to be directly compared to the calibration peak heights at the same pressure.

Using the hydrogen peak height in chart units and the sample injection pres-sure in chart units and a conversion factor, the concentration of hydrogen in ppm at the sample pressure is calculated.

The analytical result is converted to cc/kg in the primary coolant system using conversion factors based on known volumes in the PASM panel. The number of cc's of hydrogen in the sample can be determined knowing that parts per million of hydrogen in the sample is the number of cc's of hydrogen per 1 million cc's of gas sample. The volume of the gas space is 172 cc and the liquid sample volume is 22 ml or .022 kg of water. The factors are used to relate the analytical result in ppm to the PCS concentration using the follow-ing equation:

H Analysis in ppm X Gas System Volume in cc H (cc/kg) 2 2 .022 kg PCS liquid 6

since the ppm is H cc/10 cc gas, the equation becomes:

2 OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 10 of 24 I'

H cc 2 x Gas Volume in cc 106 cc H (cc/kg) 2

=

.022 kg PCS liquid The gas volume of the system is 172 cc so:

H2 cc 6

x 172 cc H (cc/kg) = 10 cc or H (cc/kg) = 7.8E-3 (H ppm) 2 .022 kg 2 2 The sample pressure is typically 28 psia at the time of sample collection as determined during sample evolutions. Since the sample is analyzed at essen-tially atmospheric pressure, the hydrogen concentration in the gas space of EV-1 is approximately double that of the analyzed sample. To compensate for the concentration difference, the equation would be multiplied by 2. As a result, the final equation appears in the procedure as:

H (cc/kg) 2

= 1.6E-2 (H2 ppm)

The hydrogen concentration is reported and the criteria established in Emer-gency Implementing procedures provide for oxygen analysis of the PCS liquid based on the hydrogen result.

CRITERION 5 The time for a chloride analysis to be performed is dependent upon two fac-tors: (a) if the plant's coolant water is seawater or brackish water and (b) if there is only a single barrier between primary containment systems and the cooling water. Under both of the above conditions the licensee shall provide for a chloride analysis within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the sample being taken. For all other cases, the licensee shall provide for the analysis to be completed within 4 days. The chloride analysis does not have to be done onsite.

CLARIFICATION BWR's on sea or brackish water sites, and plants which use sea or brackish water in essential heat exchanges (eg, shutdown cooling) that have only single barrier protection between the reactor coolant are required to analyze chlo-ride within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Samples diluted by up to a factor of one thousand are acceptable as initial scoping analysis for chloride, provided (1) the results are reported as ppm Cl (the licensee should establish this value; the number in the blank should be no greater than 10.0 ppm Cl) in the reactor coolant system and (2) that dissolved oxygen can be verified at 0.1 ppm, consistent with the guidelines above in clarification no.4. Additionally, if chloride analysis is performed on a diluted sample, an undiluted sample need also be taken and retained for analysis within 30 days, consistent with ALAR.A.

RESPONSE

Palisades source of cooling water is Lake Michigan which is neither seawater nor brackish and the primary containment systems and the cooling water are separated by more than a single barrier. Based upon Criterion 5, the plant is required to analyze for chloride concentration within 96 hours0.00111 days <br />0.0267 hours <br />1.587302e-4 weeks <br />3.6528e-5 months <br /> of the sample being taken.

The chloride analysis is conducted on the archived undiluted primary coolant sample used for pH and boron analysis. The analysis is conducted by a member of the corporate Laboratory Services Department by Ion Chromatograph. The ion chromatograph will be transported to Palisades so that the analysis can be performed on-site. The results from the chloride analysis is reported. Cri-teria established in the Emergency Implementing procedures provide for dis-solved oxygen analysis of the PCS liquid based on the chloride result. The sample may be allowed to decay for 4 days to reduce the radiation dose to the analyst, if this action is consistent with data needs.

CRITERION 6 The design basis for plant equipment for reactor coolant and containment atmosphere sampling and analysis must assume that it is possible to obtain and analyze a sample without radiation exposures to any individual exceeding the criteria of GDC 19 (Appendix A, 10 CFR Part 50) (ie, 5 rem whole body, 75 rem extremities). (Note that the design and operational review criterion was changed from the operational limits of 10 CFR Part 20 (NUREG-0578) to the GDC 19 criterion (October 30, 1979 letter from H.R. Denton to all licensees).

CLARIFICATION Consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.3 or 1.4 source terms, provide information on the predicted man rem exposures based on person-motion for sampling, transport and analysis of all required parameters.

RESPONSE

Radiation exposures estimated in Criterion (1) are based on the Radioactivity Liquid Source terms developed by the Corporate Radiological Services De-partment, Attachment 1, "Palisades Liquid Source Terms," PASM Panel dilution factors and time-motion studies for sampling, transport and analysis of the required samples. Penetrating dose rates for handling samples assume the exposure from a 1.0 ci source at 1 meter is 1 rem/hr. Exposures due to sampling are based on an "Evaluation of the Dose Rate and Shielding Require-ments for the Post Accident Sample System," dated June 1982 as prepared by the Sentry Equipment Corporation. The evaluation is attached for review.

The primary coolant sample in SF-1 is then purged to 30 psia using nitrogen which strips essentially all of the radioactive gases from the sample. The sample flask, SF-1, collects 22 ml of coolant so if all the gases were stripped from solution the total gas uci content of the gas space can be calculated as:

Total gas activity (uci/cc) X Volume of SF-1 = Total activity of SF-1 (uci).

Total activity (uci)/Volume of EV-1 gas space (cc) =Gas Activity in the gas space (uci/cc).

Substituting the values specified above, the Gas Activity in the gas space would be:

(9.15E5 uci/cc) (22cc) = 2.01E7 uci total 2.01E7 uci Total/157cc = l.27E5 uci/cc A 14 cc vial of the gas is collected for hydrogen analysis by expanding the sample through MV1912 and MV1911 which would increase the volume of the gas space to 171 cc. The activity of the hydrogen sample would be:

. Volume of EV-1 Total Gas Activity in EV-l (uci/cc) x Volume of EV-1 + 14 cc Vial x 14 cc = activity Content of the 14 cc vial by substitution:

(l.28E5 uci/cc) X l 57 cc X 14 cc = l.65E6 or 1.65 curies 171 cc The exposure rate from this sample held at arms length using the 1 meter sample tong would be 1.65 rem/hr or 28 mrem/minute to the hands and, using the inverse square law, 0.41 rem/hr or 6.9 mrem/minute whole body.

GAS ACTIVITY SAMPLE EXPOSURE After the hydrogen sample has been taken, MV1911 is positioned to expand the contents of the gas space into EV-lA. With the 14 cc of gas removed, the gas activity in EV-1 was l.14E5 uci/cc before the positioning of MV1911. The total volume of EV-1 and EV-lA is 315 cc so the activity content of the total volume can be calculated as:

5.68E4 uci/cc X 0.023 cc = l.31E3 uci or 1.31 mci The exposure rate from the gas activity sample would be 1.31 mrem/hr or 0.022 mrem/minute to the hands handling the sample using the 1 meter sample tong at arms length. At two meters the exposure to the body would be 0.33 mrem/hr or 0.005 mrem/minute whole body.

DILUTED LIQUID SAMPLE EXPOSURE To collect the diluted sample, MV1903 is opened and the primary coolant sample flows from SF-1 through MV 1913 to the sample cask. MV1913 is positioned for flow to Mc-1 which captures a 0.023 ml volume of primary coolant. *Twenty three (23) ml of demineralized water is forced through MV1913 from the manual diluter assembly DA-1 which carries the 0.023 ml sample to MC-1. Since the liquid activity in the primary coolant sample is 5.24E uCi/cc, the activity concentration in MC-1 can be calculated:

The activity content of the sample is 2.62E3 uci. The exposure rate from this sample is 2.6 mrem/hr or 0.04 mrem/minute whole body at 1 me'ter.

UNDILUTED LIQUID SAMPLE EXPOSURE Approximately 3 ml of undiluted primary coolant is collected in the sample cask when MV1903 is opened. Since the total liquid activity in the primary coolant sample is 5.24E5 uci/cc, the ucurie content of the 3 ml sample is l.57E6 uci or 1.57 curies. The 3 ml sample is transported in a cask which shields the sample with 4 inches of lead.

  • Attachment 1 Page 15 of 24 A 1.57 curie source results in an exposure rate of 1.57 rem/hr at one meter *

. The 4 inch lead shield accounts for two (2) 10th thickness' so the exposure rate on the outside of the cask would be 15.7 mrem/hr or .26 mrem/minute wholebody.

The undiluted sample is handled during the analysis so the 0.52 curie/cc would cause an exposure rate of 0.52 rem/hr or 8.7 mrem/minute at one meter or 78 mrem/min at one foot.

SHIELDED SYRINGE TRANSPORTATION EXPOSURE Samples are transferred using the shielded syringe from the undiluted liquid sample cask during the analysis and from the PASM panel when the diluted sample is collected. The exposure to the hands and whole body can be calcu-lated knowing the amount of shielding and the activity content of the samples.

The syringe is shielded around the syringe body with one inch of lead and the undiluted and diluted curie contents are 1.57 curie and 2.63 uci respectively.

Since one inch of lead is a ~ tenth thickness a factor of 0.8 is used to reduce the exposure from the sample due to the syringe shield. The undiluted sample contains 1.57 curies which at 1 meter given an exposure of 1.57 rem/hr or 1570 mrem/hr. Conversion factors can be applied to estimate the exposure at 1 inch:

9 mr at 1 ft X 144 mr at 1" mr at 1" 1570 mrem/hr X mr at 1 M ----.,...--

mr at 1 ft = 2.03E6 hr or 3.38E4 mr/minute at 1".

Using the reduction of exposure as a result of the shielding, the exposure on contact of the syringe would be:

3.38E4 mr/minute (.8) = 2.37E4 mr/minute or 23.87 rem/minute to the hands and 18.5. mrem/minute whole body at 1 meter.

The diluted sample contains 2.63E3 uci which at 1 meter gives an exposure of 2.63 mrem. The same conversion factors can be applied to estimate the exposure at 1 inch:

2 63 mrem/hr X 9mr at 1 ft X 144 mr at l" X 1 hr X 8 = 40 mrem/minute

  • mr at 1 M mr at 1 ft 60 min.
  • to the hands or 1.9 mr/minute whole body at 1 meter.

Beta Exposure Samples obtained from the PASM panel are collected in glass vials within sample tongs. The shielding associated with the sample collection devices virtually eliminates exposure from beta activity.

OC0883-0009C-NL02

  • Attachment 1 Page 16 of 24 When samples are handled outside the sample tongs, lineman gloves are used.

The shielding provided by the gloves is sufficient to reduce the beta exposure to a negligible level. As a result, exposures from beta activity are not incorporated in the exposure considerations for sampling and analysis.

CRITERION 7 The analysis of primary coolant samples for boron is required for PWRs. (Note that Rev. 2 of Regulatory Guide 1.97 specifies the need for primary coolant boron analysis capability at BWR plants).

CLARIFICATION PRW's need to perform boron analysis. The guidelines for BWR's are to have the capability to perform boron analysis but they do not have to do so unless boron was injected.

RESPONSE

The analysis of the primary coolant sample for boron is conducted using mannitol potentiometric automatic titration method.

The automatic titrator is setup in accordance with an Emergency Implementing procedure The setup includes the determination of the volumetric factor, Nf' and the standardization of a prepared NaOH solution using a certified boron standard. The volumetric factor is determined in the units of ppm boron/ml of NaOH.

One ml of the undiluted primary coolant sample is pipetted into the titrator and the automatic titrator is started. The analyst leaves the area to reduce his exposure because the titrator has the ability to sense both the slope and endpoint of the titration which virtually eliminates the overshoot of the titration endpoint. When the endpoint of the titration is reached, the analyst records the amount of NaOH in ml used as displayed on the titrator.

The boron concentration is calculated using the volumetric factor previously determined:

Boron (ppm) = Nf (ppm B/ml NaOH) (NaOH titration volume ml)

Established planning for analysis at offsite facilities is acceptable.

Equipment provided for backup sampling shall be capable of providing at least one sample per day for 7 days following onset of the accident, and at least one sample per week until the accident condition no longer exists.

CLARIFICATION A capability to obtain both diluted and undiluted backup samples is required.

Provisions to flush inline monitors to facilitate access for repair is de-sirable. If an off-site laboratory is to be relied on for the backup analy-sis, an explanation of the capability to ship and obtain analysis for one sample per week thereafter until accident condition no longer exists should be provided.

RESPONSE

Backup sampling for the containment hydrogen monitor will be conducted using the containment air sample station at the PASM panel, C-131. Currently the containment hydrogen sample line will remain isolated until the isolation valve for the containment hydrogen monitor is reinstalled at the next shutdown longer than 15 days. Plant procedures for handling and analyzing post-accident samples using the existing NSSS panel will be utilized until the post-accident sampling equipment becomes operational as stated in the correspondence "Order Confirming Licensee Commitments on Post-TMI Related Issued" dated March 14, 1983. Description of the equipment provided for sampling and the capability to sample and analyze containment atmosphere will be provided 60 days after the system becomes operable.

CRITERION 9 The licensee's radiological and chemical sample analysis capability shall include provisions to:

(a) Identify and quantify the isotopes of the nuclide categories discussed above to levels corresponding to the source terms given in Regulatory Guide 1.3 or 1.4 and 1.7. Where necessary and practicable, the ability to dilute samples to provide capability for measurement and reduction of personnel exposure should be provided. Sensitivity of onsite liquid sample analysis capability should be such as to permit measurement of nuclide concentration in the range from approximately 1 uCi/g to 10 Ci/g.

(b) Restrict background levels of radiation in the radiological and chemical analysis facility from sources such that the sample analysis will provide results with an acceptably small error (approximately a factor of 2). This can be accomplished through the use of sufficient shielding aroung samples and outside sources, and by the use of a ventilation system design which will control the presence of airborne radioactivity.

(a) Provide a discussion of the predicted activity in the samples to be taken and the methods of handling/dilution that will be em-ployed to reduce the activity sufficiently to perform the required analysis. Discuss the range of radionuclide concentration which can be analyzed for, including an assessment of, the amount of overlap between post accident and normal sampling capabilities.
9. (b) State the predicted background radiation levels in the counting room, including the contribution from samples which are present.

Also provide data demonstrating what the background radiation levels and radiation effect will be on a sample being counted to assure an accuracy within a factor of 2.

RESPONSE

9. (a) Criterion 9(a) has been discussed as a portion of Criterion
2. (a) .1.
9. (b) The predicted background radiation level in the counting room is from a noble gas concentration of 1.07E-1 uCi/cc. Testing per-formed by Palisades personnel determined that the background gaseous activity during a worst case accident would render the counting equipment inoperable due to excessive dead time. The plant employs a method of purging the detector cave with a clean air supply in the event of high background activity.

In the event both counting facilities are rendered inoperable due to high_ background activity, the samples can be counted at the D.C. Cook facility. A mutual agreement for post accident analysis is contained in the Palisades Site Emergency Plan.

  • Attachment 1 Page 19 of 24 CRITERION 10 Accuracy, range and sensitivity shall be adequate to provide pertinent data to the operator in order to describe radiological and chemical status of the reactor coolant systems.

CLARIFICATION The recommended ranges for the required acident sample analyses are given in Regulatory Guide 1.97, Rev. 2. The necessary accuracy within the recommended ranges are as follows:

(a) Gross activity, gamma spectrum: measured to estimate core damage, these analyses should be accurate within a factor of two across the entire range.

(b) Boron: measure to verify shutdown margin.

In general this analysis should be accurate within +/-5% of the measured value (ie, at 6,000 ppm B the tolerance is +/- 300 ppm while at 1,000 ppm B the tolerance is+/- 50 ppm). For concentrations below 1,000 ppm the tolerance band should remain at +/- 50 ppm.

(c) Chloride: measured to determine coolant corrosion potential.

For concentrations between 0.5 and 20.0 ppm chloride the analysis should be accurate within +/- 10% of the measured value. At concentrations below 0.5 ppm the tolerance band remains at +/- 0.05 ppm.

(d) Hydrogen or Total Gas: monitored to estimate core degradation and corrosion potential of the coolant.

An accuracy of +/- 10% is desirable between 50 and 2000 cc/kg but +/- 20%

can be acceptable. For concentration below 50 cc/kg the tolerance remains at +/- 5.0 cc/kg.

(e) Oxygen: monitored to assess coolant corrosion potential.

For concentrations between 0.5 and 20.0 ppm oxygen the analysis should be accurate within +/- 10% of the measured value. At concentrations below 0.5 ppm the tolerance band remains at +/- 0.05 ppm.

(f) pH: measured to assess coolant corrosion potential.

Between a pH of 5 to 9, the reading should be accurate within +/- 0.3 pH units. For all other ranges +/- 0.5 pH units is acceptable.

To demonstrate that the selected procedures and instrumentation will achieve the above listed accuracies, it is necessary to provide infor-mation demonstrating their applicability in the post accident water OC0883-0009C-NL02

CRITERION 11 In the design of the post accident sampling and analysis capability, con-sideration should be given to the following items:

11. (a) Provisions for purging sample lines, for reducing plateout in sample lines, for minimizing sample loss* or distortion, for preventing blockage of amples lines by loose material in the RCS or containment, for appropriate disposal of the samples, and for flow restrictions to limit reactor coolant loss from a rupture of the sample line. The post accident reactor coolant and con-tainment atmosphere samples should be representative of the reactor coolant in the core area and the containment atmosphere following a transient or accident. The sample lines should be as short as possible to minimize the volume of fluid to be taken from containment. The residues of sample collection should be returned to containment or to a closed system.
11. (b) The ventilation exhaust from the sampling station should be filtered with charcoal absorbers and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters.

CLARIFICATION

11. (a) A description of the provisions which address each of the items in clarification 11.a should be provided. Such items, as heat tracing and purge velocities, should be addressed. To demon-strate that samples are representative of core conditions a discussion of mixing, both short and long term, is needed. If a given sample location can be rendered inaccurate due to the accident (ie, sampling from a hot or cold leg loop which may have a steam or gas pocket) describe the backup sampling capabilities or address the maximum time that this condition can exist.

Passive flow restrictors in the sample lines may be replaced by redundant, environmentally qualified, remotely operated isolation valves to limit potential leakage from sampling lines. The automatic containment isolation valves should close on con-tainment isolation or safety injection signals.

11. (b) A dedicated sample station filtration system is not required, provided a positive exhaust exists which is subsequently routed through charcoal absorbers and HEPA filters.

RESPONSE

11. (a) The system design of the Palisades Post Accident Sample is pro-vided in the attached document "System Design Description No.

() Sentry Equipment Corp. (SEC) has evaluated the shielding design* for the Post Accident Sample System (PASS) equipment being -provided by SEC for use in nuclear power stations. The PASS equipment consists of the following:

Grab Sample Panel (GSP)

Containment Air Sample Panel (CASP)

This equipment is designed_ to enable an operator to obtain samples of primary reactor coolant or containment atmosphere, which may be highly radioactive in the event of a reactor accident involving substantial fuel failure.

~) 2.1 Introduction The dose rates due to direct radiation emitted from the process piping behind the GSP and CASP were determined by the SEC radiation shielding design system computer codes. The methods used are discussed in section 2.2 and are based on the equations given in volume 1, section 6.2 of the Engineering Compendium on Radiation Shielding (Springer-Verlag New York Inc., 1968).

The dose rate contributions to the front of the GSP and CASP due to backscatter from the walls and floor behind the panels is not considered.

There are no "thin" sections or ducts in the shielding that would make scattered radiation of more concern than direct radiation.

The dose rate contributions due to various shield penetrations are discussed in section 2.3 2.2 Discussion of Methods The dose rates were calculated using the equations for shielded line sources.

Modeling was simplified by not considering shielding contributions of the piping walls or self absorption in the process fluid. Obviously, this will result in a more conservative dose rate than if they had been considered.

The equations used for the geometries shown in Figure 2-1 are:

B Sv Ax D.R. (mrad/hr) = ~ce 1 ,x)+ F( e 2,xD 4'1'f z c B Sv Ax At P2 &. P3: D.R. (mrad/hr) = ~ce 2 ,x)-F(evxil 41T z c where:

B = scattered buildup factor as discussed in section 2.2.1.

Sv =

volumetric source strength (photons/sec/cm3) as discussed in section 3.2.1 Ax = cross-sectional area of source material F(8,x) = R2 X -- ~

L i=l photons/cm 2/sec C = flux to dose conversion mrad/hr ti = shield. laminate thickness (cm)

Jli =- linea~ attenuation coefficient of shield laminate (cm-1) (Table 2-1) 2.2.1 Scattered Dose Buildup Factors The scattered buildup factor for multiple shields was determined by . I Broder's method discussed in chapter 3 of Weapons Radiation Shielding :i

. ,,I Handbook (DNA-1893-3, Rev. 1; !\larch 1972). This method is based on a buildup factor being calculated at *each shield interface; once for each laminate material as if the entire shield consists of that material. These buildup factors are then combined by Broder's recurrence equation:

N N-1 N N-1 B (..[; µiti) =B ( 2Jµiti) + BN (2] .Iliti) - BN (l}piTi) i=l i=l i=l i=l where B ( ) indicates a function not a product.

Thus, the formula for total buildup is:

Each individual buildup factor was calculated using Capo's point source polynomial approximation:

0 :i B =£ 3

/3i (ut)i (after Eni::;ineering Compendium on i=O* Radiation Shielding, Vol. 1) where

./3 i are the coefficients listed in Table 2-2 2.2.2 Gamma Source Definition The source terms were divided into nine groups as follows:

Representative Energy Range Energy (MeV) (MeV) 0.4 0.1 - 0.5 0.8 0.5 - 0.9 1.3 0.9 - 1.35 1.7 1.35 - 1.8 2.2 1.8 - 2.2 2.5 2.2 - 2.6 2.8 2.6 - 3.0 0 4.0 3.0 5.0

~ 6.1 6.1 2.2.3 Flu."{ to Dose Conversion The gamma flux calculated at the dose point is quantified in units of photons/sec/cm 2. These are converted to dose rates in mrad/hr for each energy group as follows:

Energy Group Conversion Factor (MeV) {photons-hr/sec/cm2/mrad) 0.4 1357 0.8 696.9 1.3 467.2 1.7 380.6 2.2 320.4 2.5 297.7 2.8 275.8 4.0 210.4 6.1 157.0 (after Nuclear Engineering Handbook, Section 7; McGraw-Hill)

2.3 Shield Penetration All penetrations passing through the shield are offset to minimize the dose due to radiation streaming and have negligible contribution to the dose 0 rate. However, the shielding evaluation for Sentry Equipment Corp. High Radiation Sample System considered the valve stem penetrations (which are identical to those used on the PASS) to have no offset. Therefore, the evaluation of the valve stem penetrations will be included, realizing this will provide a conservative analysis.

3.0 SHIELDING EVALUATION RESULTS 3.1 Dcsiirn Criteria The shielding provided on tile Grab Sample Panel (GSP) and the Containment Air Sample Panel (CA:::iPJ is designed to limit the integrated dose to an operator standing one (1) meter in front of the panel to 3 rem whole body nnd 18. 75 rem extremities from a single exercise. R2 3.2 GSP Shielding Evaluation 3.2.1 Source Terms The radiation source terms used in the GSP shielding evaluation are based on:

  • an equilibrium core operating c.t a power level of 25ol l\I iYt
  • rE:lease of lOU~b of the noble gas, 50% of the halogen, and 176 of the solid radionuclides to the reactor coolant These source terms are listed in Table 3-1. -

3.2.2 The shielding evaluation is based on the "worst case" accident defined by the source terms above. The types of samples which can be obtained during accident conditions are:

  • 30 ml in-line pressu::-ized reactor cool~-.o~:.t sa1nple fron1 \\1 hich the gases are stripped
  • ;B __ mi-* se:rnple of undiluted,* gas-sfrfpped *reactor coolant
  • 1J-9_Q_O_:*~*'-qgyt_~d; gas::-stripped. reactor coolant sam-pfe
  • ~i5~cfoo-:1.-.anuted,~strippea *gases;~

A purge of all lines connecting the GSP to the reactor coolant system precedes the acquisition of each sample. After the purge is complete, the 30 ml in-line pressurized reactor coolant sample is isolated. At this time, any lines in the panel containing reactor coolant would be flushed with demineralized water to reduce the total active volume. Then the in-line sample is stripped, separating the gases from the liquid. Now, any or all of the remaining samples may be

\i taken. Upon completion of the sample acquisition, the entire panel

The process piping and component data used for this evaluation is:

  • all lines in the panel are either 1/4 inch diameter by 0.166 inch bore tube or 1/8 inch diameter by 0.067 inch bore tube.
  • the volume of all 1/4 inch tube risin6 stem valves is 1 ml
  • the volume of the thermocouple is the same as an equal length of 1/8 inch tube
  • the volume of the VH.EL is the same as an equal length of 1/4 inch tube
  • the flow element is 3/8 inch diameter by 0.315 inch bore tube
  • 8.ll ball valves have the same bore as their connectin5 tubing the volume of all 1/8 inch tube rising stem valves is 0.1 ml
  • the volume of SFl is 30 ml the volume of EVl and EV2 is 300 ml (150 ml each)

The total source volumes are listed in Table 3-2.

Specific details on GSP operation are given in the Operation and Maintenance Manual.

3.2.3 GSP Shielding The GSP shielding design consists of a main panel shield and a shield surrounding the opening for the undiluted sample cask. The main panel snield is comprised of 7 inches of lead shot hel_d between two 1/2 inch steel plates and runs from the floor to the top of the panel.

The maximum whole body and extremity dose rates are considered to be one and the same since use of the reach rod requires that the I  :"~:.a>)

..._.......:r hands be close to the body. These dose rates are listed in Table 3-3. The line source geometries are shown in Figures 3-2 through 3-4. The dose point considered was directly in front of SFl at a distance of one (1) meter from the front of the panel. No other points were considered as SFl will always contain the greatest concentrated active volume during sampling.

3.2A Valve Stem Penetrations The valve stem penetrations used on the PASS are identical to those used on the HRSS. Therefore, the results from the HR::>S study were used in this study. It should be und~:rstood ths t the radi2ticn streaming from one penetration is so hi;hly collim:::tc:d that it i'.'ill not be additive to the exposure from any other penetration.

Therefore, the dose rate of 10 mrem/hr vms used for valve stem penetrations oased on 11 Evaluation of the Dose Rate and Shielding Requirements for the HRSS Equipment", NUS 3872; October 198i.

3.3 CASP Shielding Evaluation 3.3.1 Source Terms The radiation source terms used in the CASP shielding evaluation are based on:

  • a_n equilibrium core operating at a power level of 2561 M Wt Rl
  • release of 100% of the noble gas and 25% halogen radionuclides to the containment atmosphere
  • containment free volume of 158,562 cubic feet

A purge of the sample lines in the CASP and its interconnecting lines to the containment precedes the acquisition of the sample.

After the purge is complete, the sample is trapped in the diluter valve and swept into the sample vial. Upon completion of the sample '. Rl acquisition, the entire panel is flushed with nitrogen to remove the remaining active* gas.

The process p1pmg and compc:'lcnt data used for this evaluation is:

  • all lines in the panel are eithe:* 1/4 inch diameter by 0.166 inch bore tube or 1/8 inch. diameter by 0.067 inch bore tube.
  • the eductor exhaust line has a 0.166 inch bore containing radioactive gas the remainder of the bore is nonradioactive nitrogen.
  • the flow element is 1/4 inch diameter by 0.166 inch bore tube.
  • all ball and plug valves have the same bore as their interconnecting tubing. I

.i The total source volume is listed in Table 3-2. Specific details on i CASP operation are given in the Operation and l\faintenance Manual.

l 3.3.3 CASP Shielding The CASP shielding design consists of a front panel shield and two side panel shields. The front panel shield is comprised of seven inches of lead shot held between two 1/2 inch steel plates and runs from the floor to the top of the panel. The side shields are five inches of lead shot held between 2 1/2 inch steel plates and run from the floor to* the top of the panel.

Ref er to Figure 3-5 for an illustration of the shielding.

The lead shot used in the analysis was 7 .14 g/cm 3. This value Pugc 12 of 26

1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 SYSTEM FUNCTIONS The function of the p~st-accident sample monitoring system (PASMS) is to provide r~presentative samples of Reactor Coolant (RC), Low Pressure Safety Injection pumps discharge (LPSI) and containment air to an area where radioloyical and laboratory

  • analyses can be performed. The sample monitoring system also provides samples of gas which is vacuum stripped from the reactor coolant samples. Samples may be extracted for all postulated plant conditions.

c In the event of an incident involving potential core' damage, laboratory analyses of liquid and gas samples with an optional (future) in-line spectral analyses monitoring system for radioactive nuclides provide data to assess the extent of core damage and provide guidance for subsequent operator actions in shutting down and mafntaining the plant in a safe shutdown condition.

1.2

SUMMARY

DESCRIPTION The fluid system diagram for the system is shown on Drawing No. M-219, Sh. 2. Interfaces with other plant sample systems is shown on M-219, Sh. l. Valves and tubing connections are provided to interface with future Intrinsic Germanium Detectors for the reactor coolant, low pressure safety injection discharge and containment air.

EDITION: 0 Concecrual Cl Preliminarv Z&Final Date: June 30, 1982 The Intrinsic Gennanium Detectors would provide spectral

~nalyses of radioactive nuclides contained in the flowiny media. Samples of containment air and primary off-gases from reactor coolant and low pressure safety injection can be obtained at the operator 1 s discretion. Motive power for liquid sample flow through the system is obtained from primary coolant pressure or, in the event the primary system is depressurize from the discharge header of the low pressure safety injection pumps. Motive power for containment air flow through the system is obtained from a nitrogen powered eductar. Valves are installed in the system to select and control the flaw of primary coolant, law pressure safety injection water and containment air as required.

( Operation of the system is manual with operations perfonned from remote panel, C168, and local panel, C103-1. Far those operations 'r'1hich must be perfonned at the local panel, the operator is shielded from the radioactive *fluids in the panel by 611 of lead* shat sandwiched between 1/2 11 steel *plates *

b. The operator must verify that the plant valves associated with the sample flow path are open.
c. The liquid sample will be exposed to two zones within the Cl03-l panel. The first zone is a closed zone exposed to full sample pressure. The second zone is at a vacuum~ -
d. After the sample fl ow is st.opµed and trapped in the pressure tight zone (sample flask SF-1) a valve is opened exposing the sample to a vacuum. This allows the sample to boil, releasing dissolved yas from the liquid. The off gas is ultimately captured in a sample bottle chambered in a tong very similar to that used for the containment air."

(

e. The undiluted degassed liquid sample is routed to, and ultimately captured in, a pre-evacuated bottle located in a lead shi~lded cask.
f. The lead cask is mounted on a custom built cart which can be pushed or pulled into position for samµling or for transportion to _the laboratory for analysis.
g. The liquid sample trapped within the Cl03-l panel may be alternately routed to a separate chamber (MC-1) and mixed with fresh demineralized water in proportion of 1000 parts water to 1 part sampl~. The sample is captured with a speciaJ shielded aliquot syringe.

The Grab Sample Panel is the principal operating elenent of the PASMS. The front of the panel is a steel/lead shot shield.

The panel has a stee.1 and 1ead right side and rear. The panel left side is steel only.

The valves inside the panel are operated by means of a meter long reach rod. Undiluted liquid samples are placed in a shielded cask by means of a remotely operated injection system.

Diluted liquid samples are extracted by means of a shielded aliquoter or syringe. Reactor coolant off-gas and containment air samples are taken off by mean~ of evacuated sample bottles c which are positioned by means of special handling tongs. A special ventilated splash box permits extraction of gas samples from the Volume Control Tank T-54, Waste Gas Decay Tanks T68A,B,C and Decay Tanks 101A,B,C. Valving and flasks are provided to permit either large volume sampling or withdraHal of a small sample through a septum. The splash box also contains. a spigot for taki ny a reduced pressure l i qui.d samp1 e during norma1 (non-accident) operation. The valve for this spigot has provision for locking it closed to prevent inadvertent operation.

  • 4.2.2.2 The interio~ of the Grab Sample Panel is designed as a plenum for operation .at -1/4 11 (water) pressure maintainec;t by an air exhaust fan V98, mounted above the panel. Ingress of air is through the* valve operator penetrations in the front shield.

coolers. These valves are controlled by means of hand switches on the control panel Cl68. In the 11 Auto Sample 11 mode (control switches HS-1919 and HS-1920) an electrical interlock automatically de-eriergizes (closes) the sample block valve if the sample temperature, sensed downstream of the coolers by TIS 1902 or TIS 1903, exceeds the high temperature trip set point (210°F).

The sample block and flush valves provide the capability to isolate the sample source and backflush piping, the sample coolers and portions of the sample panel Cl03~1, including the filter with demineralized water.

4.2.5 Cask/Cart c The Cask/Cart accessory is d.esigned to receive and transport an undiluted liquid sample *. An evacuated (4cc) flask is placed in the ~ask and the Cask/Cart is rolled into position inside a shielded 11 cart cave" on the front of the Grab Sample Panel. Stops in the cave assure proper positioning for the injectio.n process. The insertion of the sample needle into the flask is a two-step operation; pilot lights on the remote needle control panel (J670) indicate the position of the injection system. On completion of the injection operation, the injector is retracted into the Grab Sample Panel. The Cart/Cask is removed from the cave and the shielded cover is placed 'on the.cask; the sample may then be transpprted elsewhere for analysis. A needle penetration in the cask cover (equipped with a removeable plug) allows aliquoting the sample without removing the cover.

6. 8. 1 Deminera1ized Water Deminera1ized water is used as the primary flushing element for cleaning the system piping after a sample exercise. Since it is introduced into the system on the downstream side of the panel filter, the importance of providing clean water cannot be over emphasized.

The demineralized water filter should be checked regularly. A spot check of deminera11zed water quality can be made by pulling a sample fr~n MV 1940 during a non-accident sample c

exercise.

6. 8. 2 HVAC A properly functioning HVAC system is necessary to maintain the specified negative (-1/4" w.c.) pressure in the panel pl en um. Recurring al arms for a 1 ow differential pressure .-are a symptom o~ one of the. fol°l owi ny:
