[External_Sender] FW: Clinch River: Met Question on Vector WD and Scalar WS

Mallecia, In response to your email below, TVA has reviewed SSAR Table 1.9-1 and 1.9-2 and has confirmed TVAs commitments associated with RG 1.23. As noted in the background provided below, Section 5.3.1 of ANSI/ANS-3.11-2005 states that the transport wind direction for straight-line Gaussian models should be based on the scalar mean (or unit vector) wind direction. Section 2 of ANSI/ANS-3.11-2005 states, the word should is used to denote a recommendation. The use of scalar mean (or unit vector) wind direction for the transport wind direction for straight-line Gaussian models is a recommendation and not a requirement. Therefore, TVA conforms to RG 1.23 (and by extension Section 5.3.1 of ANSI/ANS 3.11-2005) and the referenced section under SRP Section 2.3. However, TVA recognizes the aforementioned ANSI/ANS 3.11-2005 recommendation and is evaluating our use of vector wind computations versus scalar wind computation for wind direction. TVA will provide a voluntary submittal to the NRC describing the results of its evaluation within 30 days.

Please contact me if any additional information is required.

Thanks Ray From: Sutton, Mallecia [1]

Ray, Please confirm TVAs commitments in SSAR Tables 1.9-1 and 1.9-2 to conform to RG 1.23 (and by extension Section 5.3.1 of ANSI/ANS 3.11-2005) and the referenced sections under SRP Section 2.3.

Background:

Site Safety Analysis Report (SSAR) Table 1.9-1 (Sheet 1 of 9) states that SSAR Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.5 conform to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.23 (Meteorological Monitoring Programs for Nuclear Power Plants). Further, SSAR Table 1.9-2 (Sheet 1 of 6) states that the application also conforms to corresponding Standard Review Plan (SRP) Sections 2.3.1 through 2.3.5.

2 SRP Section 2.3.3, Onsite Meteorological Measurements Program, Acceptance Criterion 1 (last paragraph) under Subsection II (Acceptance Criteria) states that [g]uidance on a suitable onsite meteorological monitoring program to provide the required meteorological data is presented in Regulatory Guide [RG] 1.23.

RG 1.23, Section B (Discussion), Paragraph 5, specifically references American National Standards Institute / American Nuclear Society (ANSI/ANS) 3.11-2005 (Determining Meteorological Information at Nuclear Facilities) with respect to best practices for onsite meteorological measurements programs at commercial nuclear power plants.

Section 5.3.1 of ANSI/ANS-3.11-2005 states that the transport wind direction for straight-line Gaussian models should be based on the scalar mean (or unit vector) wind direction.
