11.1 Source Terms - Methodology

Two source term models are developed for both primary and secondary coolants:-

- Design Basis and Normal Effluent ("Realistic") coolant source terms have three components:

6 PM-0219-64543 Revision: O

Water activation products

>> Calculated from first principles

>> The same concentration for both Normal Effluent and Design Basis

Corrosion activation products (CRUD)

>> Utilized ANSI 18.1-1999, a*djusted to NuScale plant parameters

>> The same concentration for both Normal Effluent and Design Basis

>> CRUD strictly used the regulatory guidance provided and past precedence

Fission products

11.1 Source Terms - Methodology

Being unique, and first of a kind, the NuScale design cannot rely solely on empirical source term data

The NuScale methodology will use:

first principle physics based calculations, where appropriate operational experience from recent industry, where applicable lessons learned, where available

Water activation products will be estimated from first principles using:

G G

RRx = I <Pg6x,gN = I <PgLx,g g=1 g=1 RRx: number of reactions of type "x"

<P9 : neutron flux in energy group "g" G: maximum energy group CJx,g: Microscopic cross section for reaction "x" in energy group "g" N: Number density of target atoms Lx,g = CJx,g N : Macroscopic cross section for reaction x in energy group "g" 7

11.1 Source Terms - Methodology

Fission products are conservatively calculated using first principle physics in SCALE 6.1 Code to 60 GWD/MTU

Release of fission products from fuel to primary coolant based on industry operational experience through use of fuel failure fraction

NuScale evaluation of Corrosion and Wear Activation Products (CRUD) will use current large PWR operating data (ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999).

ANSI/ANS 18.1-1999 There are no first principle physics models for CRUD generation, buildup, transport, plate-out, or solubility.

To help ensure the source terms are conservative, NuScale has incorporated lessons learned by:

Using EPRls primary water chemistry and steam generator guidelines to ensure source term is conservative.

11.1 Source Terms - Failed Fuel Fraction

Fission products

- Normal Effluent ("Realistic") source term

0.0066°/o (-0.6 - 0.7 rods per reactor) failure rate is assumed

Supported by industry experience from large PWRs, which shows much improvement since the 1970s

>> 90-95°/o of US LWRs are zero-defect since 2010

Industry data shows that most failures are due to grid-to-rod fretting and debris

>> NuScale uses natural circulation, which mitigates these mechanisms

11.1 Source Terms - Secondary Coolant

Secondary coolant source term

- Primary-to-secondary tube leaks scaled from NUREG-0017

Design Basis. 75 lb/day/NPM = 900 lb/day for 12 units

Realistic= 3.5 lb/day/NPM = 42 lb/ day for 12 units

- _Direct neutron activation of secondary was determined to be negligible due to low neutron flux at the steam generators

- Conservatively small secondary coolant mass assumed, which tends to increase the calculated concentration

GALE Replacement Methodology

Details provided in TR-1116-52065, "Effluent Release (GALE Replacement)

Methodology and Results," Rev. 1

GALE (NUREG-0017) was developed using empirical data from the existing (large) PWR fleet

NuScale design is outside. the range of applicability for several parameters (thermal power, coolant mass, other flows)

Certain significant pathways in GALE were not modeled - e.g., Reactor Pool evaporation.

Replacement method explicitly calculates radionuclide transport through NuScale plant systems using applicable guidance from NUREG-0017 11 PM-0219-64543 Revision: 0 Copyright 2019 by NuScale Power, LLC.
