Purpose:
This calculation provides the setpoint as a function of decay of th_e letdown line radiation monitor during accident condition for a 1% and 5% failed fuel (gap release) and iodine spike cases of 60 µCi/gm and 300 µCi/gm Dose Equivalent 1-131 released coolant activity in the RCS. During accident conditions, letdown radiation monitors support in determining the fuel. failures that correspond to specific radiological criteria in the
. Emergency Action Levels (EALs).

The 1% failed fuel is modeled in this calculation by calculating the dose rates resulting from 1% of the failed fuel gap inventory being released into the primary coolant that resulted following an accident. The 5% failed fuel was modeled by scaling up by a factor of 5 the results for the 1% failed fuel.
Dose rates to the monitor are calculated using MicroShield computer code. (Detector assembly is placed approximately 2 .5 inch (including O .5 inch of insulation of the pipe) from the center of a 2-inch diameter pipe source. The use of the MicroShield code is reasonable since the source is surrounded by lead shield and scattering is considered to be minimal. The MicroShield modeling assumes liquid source in a 1-inch radius pipe and 1O inches long with a thickness of O .154 inches. The dose point is assumed to be located at 2 .5 inch from the center (radial direction) of the source. The pipe and the detector are placed inside lead shield wall. It is assumed that the detector is located in the middle of the length of the pipe.

Conclusion:==
Tables 4 below provides a summary of results of the letdown radiation monitor dose rates that can be used for the EAL radiological criteria.
The dose rates are calculated for the letdown line.

Purpose:
The purpose of this addendum is to determine the letdown radiation monitor (RM) response to source terms representative of gross reactor coolant activity and fuel failure that correspond to specific radiological criteria in the Emergency Action Levels (EALs) based on guidance from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) for primary coolant activity level.

Methodology:
Letdown radiation monitor response in counts per minute (cpm) was determined for accident source terms of 1% failed fuel, 10 µCi/cc DE 1-131, and 300 µCi/cc DE 1-131 at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after shutdown. This was accomplished by using MicroShield to determine dose rate at the detector for the 1% failed source term at O hours. MicroShield was used to decay the 1% failed fuel source and determine. the dose rates at the detector for each of the subsequent time steps. MicroShield dose rates were also determined for calibration standards of Co-60 and Mn-54 for which the vendor had determined cpm. Conversion factors for cpm to Dose rate for Co-60 and Mn-54 were derived and applied to the dose rate results for the 1% failed fuel source term at each time step.

The letdown radiation monitor response in cou.nts per minute (cpm) to accident source terr,ns of 1% failed fuel, 1O µCi/gm DE 1-131, and 300 µCi/gm DE 1-131 at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after shutdown are documented in Table 4.
