L. G. Hulman, Chief Hydrology-Meteorology Branch, DSE

SUBJECT:

METEOROLOGY EVALUATION FOR THE FUEL HANDLING ACCIDENT INSIDE CONTAINMENT - TAC #6727 In the May 1, 1979 memo from V. Stello to R. DeYoung, you asked that we review We have the atmospheric dispersion factors for 30 operating reactor sites.

enclosed our evaluations for 12 more sites; these add to the seven evaluations we sent you on July 13, 1979.

As we note in our comments on these evaluations, several of these sites have meteorological monitoring programs which do not meet the regulatory position of Regulatory Gi'ide 1.23.

Data from these sites are of questionable value.

In our final memo for this TAC we will recommend a course of action to upgrade these programs.

Please note that for coastal sites we are including X/Q estimates for both overland and overwater sectors. Our overwater estimates reflect a conservative assessment.of the reduced dispersion of air flowing over water. Again note that we have included the exclusion area boundaries we used in our evaluations.

We obtained these values from recent evaluations and from your branch. We ask that you confirm that they are correct.

Coments:

For overland: We based our evaluation.on our assessment of the onshore tracer test series run at 50t;GS, which we discuss in Reference 1.

For overwater: We based our evaluation on our assessment of the beach tracer test series run at 50t;GS. We describe.this model in Reference 3.

Because this model is.for beach. distances only, we modified it for overwater locations by using diffusion parameters representative of flow over water (rather than for over land.)

recently available data (1975) appeared unraasonable. We concluded g ](p} j ; /'

If our SEP meteorological monitoring program concerns are satisfied, we 'ay be able to use the R. G. 1 145 model with m

quality data for this site. With reasonable data, we would expect the X/Q values to be somewhat lower than those we now recommend.

Comments: As noted in the referenced site visit report, the Point Beach meteoro-logical monitoring program does not meet.the regulatory position of R. G. 1.23 for calibrations and data reduction. Because they do not reduce their data for annual summaries, only the 67-69 data set is available.

1043 195 The onsite program classifies stability by sigma theta measured at 150 feet.

The frequency distribution of stability for the two-year set appears comparable to that recorded for a non-concurrent one-year. peri 6d by the R. G. 1.23 program at the nearby Haven site.

Howev,er, using. sigma theta precludes using the meander function (based on classification of stability by terrperature difference) of R. G. 1.145 (the direction-dependent model.)

Coimients: For this evaluation, we had the two years of data which Northern States Power Company has sent for our Appendix I analysis..These data sets were for 6/71-5/72 (with a 76% data recovery rate) and for 3/74-3/75 (with a 66% recovery rate.) As noted, the recovery rates for these periods were very poor. Also the distributions of.

atmospheric stability (as defined by vertical temperature gradient) vary considerably between the two data sets and do not compare well with data collected at other sites in the general region.

{ O '

%)mjT=

1043 199 J Ju lu u i s a As a result of our Appendix I review, we expressed our concerns to tiSP in a conference call on April 20, 1977 (f;RC: Goll, Grotenhuis; NUS: Taylor, Mitchell; N5PC: Ward.)

In this call NSP said that they had installed an upgraded meteorological monitoring system and that data from that system would be available in April 1978.

To this date thd Meteorology Section has not seen data from the updated system.

Due to the poor quality of the available data, we used the direction '

independent model and the 71/72 data set referenced in the Prairie Island SER. Using that set with the direction-independent model should make our X/Q estimates conservative. We expect that using better quality data and the R. G. 1.145 model would reduce our X/Q estimates.

If we receive better quality data, we could refine our calculations.

We also recommend that the status of.the upgraded meteorological program be determined and that we review the new program.

o Coments: Since writing our SER in 1974,.we have received three additional years of data from the Trojan site - 9/72-8/74 and 1976. The 1976 data set was from an upgraded meteorological monitoring program.

Data collected after 1972 hace relatively few occurrences of Stability Classes F;(as classified by temperature difference.)

(These stabilities have the poorest atmospheric dispersion for ground-level releases.) For the 9/71-8/72 data set, Stabilities F&G occurred about 20% of the time; during 1976, these occurrences were down to only 6%.

During our Appendix I review, we questioned Portland General Electric Company about the differences in stability occurrence ; they reviewed their calibrations and instrumentation and fcund no 'ng wrong.

1043 201

2-Due to the uncertainties in the data, we recommead that you still use the 1974 SER X/Q values. These should be conservative. We also recommend that the Trojaa plant meteorological quality assurance program be reviewed.

We have combined the data from 9/71 through 8/74, and this produces a stability di'stribution more reasonable than the recent data indicate. Using these data in our R.G. 1.145 model resulted in 0-2 hour X/Q values which are 1.5 times lower than our recommended 1974 SER values.

If in the SEP review we confirm that the current tover measurements are satisfactory, we could use the recent data witn the R. G. 1.145 model.

. The 1969 data had stability classified by sigma theta measured at 180 feet.

(The current program does measure vertical temper-ature difference to classify stability.) Using sigma theta precludes using the meander function (based on classification of stability by temperature difference) of R. G. 1.145 (the direction-dependent model.)

The Kewaunee 1969 data had more stable conditions than the non-R. G.1.23 data we reviewed for the nearby Point Beach site.

When used with the direction-independent model, the 1969 data should produce conservative X/Q estimates for this site.
