SUMMARY

OF CALCULATIONS (UPDATED)

Calculation Summaries (Updated)

General:

One of the goals of the EAL reanalysis effort was to apply consistent practices and methods between the Dominion fleet plants and to define common response criteria across the fleet for certain EAL initiating conditions (i.e. fuel clad degradation and fuel barrier failure criteria, RCS sample dose rates and sample line dose rates).

Uncertainties in the proposed methodologies are similar to anticipated and acceptable uncertainties known to exist in most radiological assessment methods and techniques in support of emergency response. The primary variables used in the reanalysis of dose rate EAL thresholds response are, (1) source term, (2) shielding geometry, and (3) source volume. New calculated EAL values are based on expected plant conditions.

For instance, core isotopic release fractions are based on realistic recommendations from NUREG 1228,"Source Term Estimation during Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents", October 1988" rather than conservative and bounding design basis guidance of NUREG 1465,"Accident Source Terms for Light-Water Nuclear Power Plants", dated February 1995. Equilibrium coolant concentrations are taken from calculations of Technical Specification RCS Coolant Activity applicable to the fuel clad degradation initiating condition criteria. RCS volumes are updated to assume hot full-power conditions. Single dose rate response thresholds are used wherever applicable across all Fleet plants. Common fleet EAL values for similar category thresholds are deemed important to enhance familiarity between facilities/units to reduce the potential for human error. Calculation summaries have been provided in this Enclosure which contain additional information for critical calculations used in our EAL reanalysis.

The basis for the gaseous Unusual Event IC and associated thresholds has been revised to correspond to any unplanned release of gaseous effluent radioactivity to the environment that will result in release 2 times the allocated site-specific effluent release controlling document limits for 60 minutes or longer. This Unusual Event gaseous release criterion is being used consistently across all operating nuclear units at Dominion Energy nuclear stations at Millstone, North Anna and Surry. The word

'allocated' is required because for some release points, using ODCM methods and limits to determine the UE EALs, the UE values calculated were greater than ALERT EAL threshold values or did not provide a factor of 10 separation from the ALERT EAL threshold. To maintain consistency across the Fleet and reduce confusion and human error potential, a single Initiating Condition (IC) definition for gaseous and liquid releases at the NOLIE level is being used. The Initiating Condition (IC) will be worded:

"Release of gaseous or liquid radioactivity greater than 2 times the allocated ODCM

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/47/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 3 of 54 limits for 60 minutes or longer." This method provides a justifiable basis for NOUE thresholds based on established methods and setpoints provided in the facility ODCM.

The proposed NOUE values will classify events based on degradation in the level of safety of the plant and will maintain a near linear . escalation between all four classification levels (i.e., NOUE, ALERT, Site Area Emergency (SAE) and General Emergency (GE)). The IC being used is the same IC definition currently used for gaseous pathways in the North Anna and Surry NEI 99-01, Revision 4 EALs.

Classification thresholds within Table R-1 were generated using the MIDAS dose assessment code. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent meteorological data and expected release point parameters. Most prevalent meteorology represents conditions that would most likely exist (based on the most prevalent stability class and average wind speed within that stability class). Dispersion based on most prevalent meteorology differs from that assumed in the ODCM which uses annual average meteorology.

Dispersion based on actual meteorological conditions at the time of the emergency (most prevalent) can be 10 - 20 times higher than the annual average dispersion prescribed for use in an ODCM. Assumptions of one-hour decay since shutdown and a one-hour release duration are applied. Mitigating reduction mechanisms (e.g., decay, sprays, filters) input into MIDAS for each accident type determined the radiological release source term consistent with the guidance provided in NUREG-1228.

Dose rate values specified in Tables F-2, F-3 and F-4 were developed using a method to minimize error(+/-) for the threshold value within defined time (decay) periods. Time periods were chosen to fit monitor response (fast changes in response early following reactor shutdown are broken up into smaller time periods to better approximate expected change). Values were chosen within each time period to minimize error

(<50%) from the highest to lowest response within each time range. Fuel clad barrier loss thresholds are each calculated based on 5% fuel clad damage which represents a significant amount of fuel clad damage comparable to 300 uCi/gm DEl-131.

Computer Codes Used:

MIDAS software (Ref 5) was utilized to determine the projected EDE, TEDE and Thyroid CDE for a one (1) hour release duration. Integrated TEDE for a 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> release duration is used for the purpose of calculating emergency action levels for the ALERT classification. MIDAS is classified per the Software Quality Assurance program as class 3 software (Ref.6).

Methodology:

The meteorology and source terms used to develop the threshold values were chosen to best represent the conditions that would be expected at the time of the emergency.

The calculated threshold value considers a source of 100% Kr-85 release from damage of irradiated assemblies in the Unit 1 SFP and meteorology in accordance with NEI 99-

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 5 of 54

01. The resulting values are adequately conservative and represent the best estimate of the release rates that would result in exceeding the dose criteria of NEI 99-01.

To determine the ALERT radiological threshold for the MP1 SFPI vent, MIDAS was used to predict expected doses based on best estimate meteorological and plant conditions. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent met data and expected release point parameters and normalized source terms of 1 Ci/sec. No mitigating reduction mechanisms (decay, sprays, filters, etc.) were used as input into MIDAS for this particular calculation as iodine and particulate removal mechanisms have no effect to the release of Kr-85. The MIDAS outputs generated represent a radiological prediction normalized to the source entered (e.g., 1 Ci/sec of Kr-85).

The maximum projected EDE, TEDE at or beyond the site boundary distance were obtained from the MIDAS outputs. The TEDE dose was divided into the applicable EAL criteria to determine the radioactivity concentration (uCi/cc) seen by the radiation monitor which would yield the referenced dose criteria for the ALERT classification.

This concentration is the rad monitor action level for the ALERT classification. Thyroid COE limits were not included in this evaluation per new guidance in EPA-400 (Ref. 7) and agreement with the State of Connecticut to remove Thyroid PAGs in the EALs.

From the predicted release to obtain levels that achieve the ALERT EAL threshold limit of> 10 mrem TEDE, the corresponding number of irradiated fuel assemblies that would need to be damaged to achieve that source term will be determined.

==

Conclusions:==

The condition where the NOUE threshold is exceeded for 60 minutes is indicative of the inability to terminate radioactive release within prescribed regulatory and license limits and therefore represents a loss of plant control and degraded safety. For the Unusual Event (NOUE) threshold value based on station release limits, the methodology and assumptions established with the Millstone REMODCM were followed.

For the ALERT threshold value determined, the release conditions required to produce 10 mrem TEDE from a pure Kr-85 release using predominant meteorological conditions was calculated using the MIDAS accident dose software code. The ALERT threshold value determined, while equivalent to release conditions that would produce 10 mrem TEDE, requires that 50% of the spent fuel pool irradiated assemblies will need to fail and release within 15 minutes to the environment to produce radiological conditions that produce such dose.

MIDAS Assumptions and Inputs:

  • For all MIDAS runs, the stability class=D, ambient lemperature=50°, and the direction=252° (from) lo result in MIDAS shortest distance to the site boundary = 496 m {-0.31 mi} and 620 m {-0.39 mi) in the ENE direction. (5° added to centerline to align over calculation point within MIDAS tabular report at 0.37 miles) .

.. Discharge flow per release point was taken from Ref. 7.

M Release from a LOCA is considered leak of containment GAS.

Based on the information above, one run is required for each of the release points as all input assumptions are identical and can be ral.klJid,to the applicable EAL threshold.

Method of Calculation:

The meteorology and source terms used to develop the threshold values were chosen to best represent the conditions that would be expected at the time of the emergency for each respective action level.

The calculated threshold values consider appropriate source term and meteorology in accordance with NEI 99-01. The resulting values are adequately conservative and represent the best estimate of the release rates that would result in exceeding the dose criteria of NEI 99-01. The values determined show consistent classification escalation from RU1 through RG1.

The RU1 thresholds based on the REMODCM Instantaneous Release Rate Limits that utilize annual average meteorology are shown to be essentially equal to 1 mrem TEDE using most prevalent met conditions. This shows the same principles of dose and maintains consistency with the Technical Specifications. Sufficient margin exists between plant setpoint alarms and the EAL thresholds to provide sufficient awareness to the Operators prior to reaching the emergency condition. The Unusual Event (UE)

EALs are calculated for release points controlled in the REMODCM, Ref. 3.

To determine the EAL radiological thresholds for MP2 Ventilation Vent and Millstone Stack, and release points, MIDAS was used to predict expected doses based on best estimate meteorological and plant conditions. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent met data and expected release point parameters together with event tree, core condition, mitigating reduction factors, and normalized source terms of 1 uCi/cc for vent and stack

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/4 7/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 9 of 54 rad monitors. . An assumed one-hour decay time since shutdown and a one-hour duration of release are applied in each computer run. The mitigating reduction mechanisms (decay, sprays, filters, etc.) input into MIDAS for a given accident event determine the final radiological release source term mix. The MIDAS outputs generated for each release option represent a radiological prediction normalized to the source entered (e.g., 1 uCi/cc). For MP2 Vent and Millstone Stack releases, a LOCA accident type is selected for the event tree. A fuel handling accident was not run in MIDAS since an additional mitigation reduction factor of 100 for the pool water would logically result in lower site boundary doses which would then lead to higher emergency action level thresholds for the MP2 Vent and Millstone Stack.

The maximum projected EDE, TEDE and Thyroid COE dose at or beyond the site boundary distance were obtained from the MIDAS outputs .. The TEDE dose was divided into the applicable EAL criteria to determine the radioactivity concentration (uCi/cc) seen by the radiation monitor, which would yield the referenced dose criteria for a given emergency classification. These concentrations are the rad monitor action levels for the various emergency classifications. Thyroid COE limits were not included in this evaluation per new guidance in EPA-400 (Ref.13) and agreement with the State of Connecticut to remove Thyroid PAGs in the EALs.

Cone Ius ions:

Following the guidance of NEI 99-01 Revision 6, recommended values for Millstone 2 release point EAL thresholds were calculated.

For the Unusual Event (NOUE) threshold values determined, the NOUE values are set at 2 times the 'allocated' site-specific effluent release controlling document limits for 60 minutes or longer. To maintain Dominion Fleet commonality, this difference from the prescribed guidance in NEI 99-01 Revision 6 is needed by adding the word 'allocated'.

The difference is necessitated because some release pathways at the Surry and North Anna stations following the ODCM guidance would result in NOUE threshold values greater than corresponding ALERT threshold values. The NOUE thresholds when exceeded for 60 minutes are indicative of the inability to terminate a radioactive release within prescribed regulatory and license limits and therefore represent a loss of plant control and degraded safety.

The ALERT, SAE and GE threshold values determined, represent a radioactive release that results in 1%, 10%, and 100% of the revised EPA Protective Action Guideline TEDE limits. These threshold limits were calculated using expected meteorological conditions based on 5 years of meteorological data collected from the plant MET tower.

Dose analyses were performed using the most prevalent stability class and wind speed conditions at each respective level on the MET tower. The selection and use of predominant meteorological dispersion is appropriate and in accordance with the intent of NEI 99-01.

This figure demonstrates that the four EALs are sufficiently separated and show escalation from the NOUE level up through the GE level. Sufficient margin exists between plant setpoint alarms and the EAL thresholds to provide sufficient awareness to the Operators prior to reaching the lowest EAL threshold.

Method of Calculation:

The meteorology and source terms used to develop the threshold values were chosen to best represent the conditions that would be expected at the time of the emergency for each respective action level.

The calculated threshold values consider appropriate source term and meteorology in accordance with NEI 99-01. The resulting values are adequately conservative and represent the best estimate of the release rates that would result in exceeding the dose criteria of NEI 99-01. The values determined show consistent classification escalation from RU1 through RG1.

RU1 thresholds based on the ODCM Instantaneous Release Rate Limits that utilize annual average meteorology are compared against dose criteria to maintain a logical and consistent escalation between the UE and ALERT thresholds. Both are based on the same principles of dose and maintain consistency with the Technical Specifications.

Sufficient margin exists between plant setpoint alarms and the EAL thresholds to provide sufficient awareness to the Operators prior to reaching the NOUE emergency condition.

To determine the EAL radiological thresholds for MP3 Ventilation Vent and Millstone Stack MIDAS was used to predict expected doses based on best estimate meteorological and plant conditions. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent met data and expected release point parameters together with event tree, core condition, mitigating reduction factors, and normalized source terms of 1 uCi/cc for vent and stack rad monitors. An assumed one-hour decay time since shutdown and a one-hour duration of release are applied in each computer run. The mitigating reduction mechanisms (decay, sprays, filters, etc.) input into MIDAS for a given accident event determine the final radiological release source term mix. The MIDAS outputs generated for each

For MP3 Ventilation Vent and Millstone Stack releases, a LOCA accident type is selected for the event tree. A fuel handling accident was not run in MIDAS since an additional mitigation reduction factor of 100 for the pool water would logically result in lower site boundary doses which would then lead to higher emergency action levels thresholds for the MP3 Ventilation Vent and Millstone Stack.

The maximum projected EDE, TEDE and Thyroid COE dose at or beyond the site boundary distance were obtained from the MIDAS outputs .. The TEDE dose was divided into the applicable EAL criteria to determine the radioactivity concentration (uCi/cc) seen by the radiation monitor, which would yield the referenced TEDE dose criteria for a given emergency classification. These concentrations are the rad monitor action levels for the various emergency classifications. Thyroid COE limits were not included in this evaluation per new guidance in EPA-400 (Ref. 13) and agreement with the State of Connecticut to remove Thyroid PAGs in the EALs.

Conclusions:==

Following the guidance of NEI 99-01 Revision 6, recommended values for Millstone 3 release point EAL thresholds based on the results of this calculation are summarized in Table 1 of the EAL Matrices.

For the Unusual Event (NOUE) threshold values determined, the NOUE values are set at 2 times the 'allocated' site-specific effluent release controlling document limits for 60 minutes or longer. To maintain Dominion Fleet commonality, this difference from the prescribed guidance in NEI 99-01 Revision 6 is needed by adding the word 'allocated'.

The difference is necessitated because some release pathways at the Surry and North Anna stations following the ODCM guidance would result in NOUE threshold values greater than corresponding ALERT threshold values. The NOUE thresholds when exceeded for 60 minutes are indicative of the inability to terminate a radioactive release within prescribed regulatory and license limits and therefore represent a loss of plant control and degraded safety. "

The ALERT, SAE and GE threshold values determined, represent a radioactive release that results in 1%, 10%, and 100% of the revised EPA Protective Action Guideline TEDE limits. These threshold limits were calculated using expected meteorological conditions based on 5 years of meteorological data collected from the plant MET tower.

Dose analyses were performed using the rriost prevalent stability class and wind speed conditions at each respective level on the MET tower. The selection and use of predominant meteorological dispersion is appropriate and in accordance with the intent of NEI 99-01.

Figure 3 graphically displays the relationship between monitor effluent control setpoint values, the Technical Specification limit, and the four EAL threshold values for the two normal operational discharge release pathways from Millstone 3. This figure demonstrates that the four EALs are sufficiently separated and show escalation from

Sufficient margin exists between plant setpoint alarms and the EAL thresholds to provide sufficient awareness to the Operators prior to reaching the lowest EAL threshold.

The Millstone 3 ESF Vent is isolated upon Safety Injection signal. Therefore, there is no ALERT, SAE , or GE threshold for this pathway since this pathway would be isolated prior to reaching levels sufficient to warrant higher classification.

Based on the inforrnation above, one run is requiredfor each oflhe release points as all input assumptions are .identical and can be r.atlQ.!W.to the applicable E.A.Lthreshold.

Methodology:

The meteorology and source terms used to develop the threshold values were chosen to best represent the conditions that would be expected at the time of the emergency for each respective action level.

The calculated threshold values consider appropriate source term and meteorology in accordance to NEI 99-01. The resulting values are adequately conservative and represent the best estimate of the release rates that would result in exceeding the dose criteria of NEI 99-01. The values determined show consistent classification escalation from RU1 through RG1.

RU1 thresholds, based on the ODCM Instantaneous Release Rate Limits that utilize annual average meteorology, are compared against dose criteria to maintain a logical and consistent escalation between the UE and ALERT thresholds. Both are based on the same principles of dose and maintain consistency with the Technical Specifications.

Sufficient margin exists between plant setpoint alarms and the EAL thresholds to provide sufficient awareness to the Operators prior to reaching the NOUE emergency condition. The Unusual Event (UE) EALs are calculated for release points controlled in the ODCM, Ref. 5.

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/47/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 17 of 54 To determine the EAL radiological thresholds for Ventilation Vent and Process Vent, MIDAS was used to predict expected doses based on best estimate meteorological and plant conditions. Inputs to MIDAS use most prevalent met data and expected release point parameters together with event tree, core condition, mitigating reduction factors, and normalized source terms of 1 uCi/cc for vent and process vent rad monitors. An assumed one-hour decay time since shutdown and a one-hour duration of release are applied in each computer run. The mitigating reduction mechanisms (decay, sprays, filters, etc.) input into MIDAS for a given accident event determine the final radiological release source term mix. The MIDAS outputs generated for each release option represent a radiological prediction normalized to the source entered (e.g., 1 uCi/cc).

For Ventilation Vent and Process Vent releases, a LOCA accident type is selected for the event tree. A fuel handling accident was not run in MIDAS since an additional mitigation reduction factor of 100 for the pool water would logically result in lower site boundary doses which would then lead to higher emergency action levels thresholds for the Ventilation Vent and Process Vent.

The maximum projected EDE, TEDE and Thyroid COE dose at or beyond the site boundary distance were obtained from the MIDAS outputs. These doses were divided into the applicable EAL criteria to determine the radioactivity concentration (uCi/cc) seen by the radiation monitor, which would yield the referenced dose criteria for a given emergency classification. These concentrations are the rad monitor action levels for the various emergency classifications. The lowest predicted concentration between each dose analyzed is selected as the applicable EAL limit.

Conclusions:==

Following the guidance of NEI 99-01 Revision 6, recommended values for North Anna release point EAL thresholds based on the results of this calculation are summarized in Table R-1 of the EAL Matrices.

For the Unusual Event (NOUE) threshold values determined, the NOUE values are set at 2 times the 'allocated' site-specific effluent release controlling document limits for 60 minutes or longer. A difference from the prescribed guidance in NEI 99-01 Revision 6 by adding the word 'allocated' is necessitated because the Process Vent instantaneous release rate limits following the ODCM guidance would result in NOUE threshold values greater than corresponding ALERT threshold values. The NOUE thresholds when exceeded for 60 minutes are indicative of the inability to terminate a radioactive release within prescribed regulatory and license limits and therefore represent a loss of plant control and degraded safety.

The ALERT, SAE and GE threshold values determined, represent a radioactive release that results in 1%, 10%, and 100% of the revised EPA Protective Action Guideline TEDE limits. These threshold limits were calculated using expected meteorological

Dose analyses were performed using the most prevalent stability class and wind speed conditions at each respective level on the MET tower. The selection and use of predominant meteorological dispersion is appropriate and in accordance with the intent of NEI 99-01.

Figure 6 graphically displays the relationship between monitor effluent control setpoint values, the Technical Specification limit, and the four EAL threshold values for the two normal operational discharge release pathways from North Anna. This figure demonstrates that the four EALs are sufficiently separated and show escalation from the NOUE level up through the GE level. Additionally, it can be seen that the NOUE threshold is set at or above the setpoint limit, thus assuring the operator will be alerted due to radiation monitors going into alarm prior to or when the NOUE level is exceeded.

SCALE 6.2 (Reference 1)

Microshield 7.02 Key Inputs and Assumptions Used:

1. 5% fuel clad damage representing 300 uCi/gm
2. Response from gap release of noble gas, halogens, and cesiums
3. Release fraction from the fuel gap: 3% (Ref. 2)
4. Detector placed 2 inches from outside of various diameter sample line tubing
5. Sample line tubing length of 240 cm Methodology:

Source Term The initial source term for 5% failed fuel (gap release) was determined by multiplying the 1% failed fuel source term by a factor of 5. The results were then scaled down by the ratio of the water volume in the tubing to the RCS liquid inventory. The resulting source term in the tubing was decayed and converted to a photon spectrum using the ORIGEN code from the SCALE 6.2.2 code package.

Shielding Model - Scenario 1:

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/47/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 42 of 54 The sample line tubing was modeled as straight length of tubing running vertically up a concrete wall. The shielding model included the wall, tubing, and water within the tubing. The SCALE module MAVRIC was used to perform the photon transport. This is an improvement over the QADS model in that scattering/reflection from the concrete surfaces will be included and a dose rate measurement volume can be used in lieu of a point location. A tally volume comprised of air will be used to calculate the dose rate based on SCALE-supplied ANSl-77 flux-to-dose conversion factors.

~

I Detector Shielding Model - Scenario 2:

The sample line tubing was modeled as straight length of tubing. The shielding model included the tubing and water within the tubing. Microshield was used to determine the dose rate at a point 2 inches from the outside of the tubing. This scenario is designed to support a broad spectrum of possible sample line locations and geometries.

Results &

Conclusions:

Dose rates from a primary hot leg sample line assuming an intact RCS and 5% failed fuel were calculated. Tabular results and an associated radiation response curve are provided below. An adjustment factor to correct for a range of tubing sizes is provided.

In some instances the tubing diameter may be larger than 3/8" tubing. In those instances the results can be scaled up by the ratio of tubing cross sectional area. The following scaling factors should be used:

Tubing size Li~uid Area Scaling (Nominal OD) (in ) Factor 3/8" 0.110 1.0 1/2" 0.196 1.8 3/4" 0.442 4.0 Note that the tubing size scaling factors are first-order approximations. Tubing wall thickness can vary somewhat, and the changing solid-angle between source and detector will also vary. However, the table is considered a reasonable indicator of the dose rate changing with tubing size.

1. Water level at the top of the active fuel
2. Reactor head removed *
3. Millstone 3 Core Inventory Methodology:

Source Term The LOCA core inventory source term will be decayed and converted to a photon spectrum using the ORIGEN code from the SCALE 6.2.2 code package.

Shielding Model The core, refueling cavity, and containment will be modeled using MCNP 6.1. The fuel region of the core will be modeled as a single homogeneous zone containing fuel and water. The water level is modeled as being level with the top of the active fuel. The gamma source in the fuel is distributed axially to model a nominal axial fuel burnup.

This distribution is intended to capture the self-shielding in the fuel zone. The gamma source has a uniform radial distribution in the fuel region. Structures inside the containment dome are limited to the crane wall and concrete structures close to the radiation monitors. These structures should reasonably model the photon backscatter to the radiation monitors. The radiation monitors will be modeled as finite air volumes used exclusively to tally the dose rate.

Results and/or

Conclusions:

Results from the MCNP output file provides an estimate of the average photon Mean Free Path (MFP) in each cell. An examination of these results indicates that the MFP in air varied between approximately 60 and 90 meters (197 and 295 feet). Given the distance between the operating floor and the containment dome, few photons interactions in air would occur during a photon's transit from the core to the containment dome and back to a radiation monitor.

Reference 3 also assumed that, other than air scatter, the primary contributor to radiation monitor dose rates was from photons that traveled vertically from the fuel through the air and scattered on the containment dome. This assumption was evaluated by modifying the MCNP input files to terminate any photon track that enters the refueling deck and refueling cavity concrete surfaces. The change was implemented by setting the importance of cell 10 to O (i.e. imp:p=O). The dose rates at the radiation monitors were reduced by -69% at RE-05A and -42% at RE-04A, bringing the results into reasonable agreement with the containment dome contributions calculated in Reference 3. analysis shows much of the dose rates at the radiation monitors in this calculation is due to photons scattering on or transiting through the refueling cavity concrete. Thus, while photon scattering on the containment dome is a contributor to the dose rates, the primary contributor is attributed to other concrete surfaces.

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/47/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 47 of 54 It was found that a drain-down event earlier in a refueling outage could increase the count rates by a factor of three. This is consistent with the change in photon intensity.

In summary, containment radiation monitor dose rates at Millstone, North Anna, and Surry are expected to be between 3 R/hr and 40 R/hr, depending on the unit, time after refueling, and radiation monitor location in containment. A value of 3 R/hr would be a conservative dose rate for use in identifying a potential drain-down event.

EALs require the ability to measure gamma radiation from the reactor core while under conditions where the water level in the reactor vessel is at the top of the active core.

Considering the location of the core relative to RM-8240 and 8241 , there does not appear to be any direct, line-of-sight communication of radiation. This requires crediting of air and concrete scattered radiations from the core to the rad monitors. Based upon a review of detector location (14'6" elevation on SG shield walls), and the need to credit multiple scattering there does not appear to sufficient radiation to register on these

Serial No.: 19-296 Docket Nos.: 50-336/423/338/339/280/281 72-2/16/47/55/56 Enclosure 6 Page 49 of 54 detectors which have a low range limit of 1 R/hr. The insufficiency of radiation will be validated using RM-7891 which only requires a single scatter determination. RM-7891, the refuel floor rad monitor, is located adjacent to the refuel pool. No credit is taken for any radiation beyond single scattering.

The following scatter methods were validated in Reference 1. The methods are described in Reference 2 and applicable excerpts are retrievable as attachments to Reference 1 .

Scattering by air is addressed by a method using a line beam response factor (LBRF) to evaluate the single scatter from direct radiation to a receptor located out of the direct beam. In the case of a reactor core, the gamma flux directly over the core at the elevation of the radiation monitors is determined using the QADS shielding code. This flux is converted to an equivalent line beam source by multiplying the flux by the horizontal surface area of the core. The line beam source is multiplied by the LBRF to get the dose rate at the rad monitor from air scattered radiation.

Scattering by the containment dome is addressed using a method that determines an appropriate albedo factor and appropriate dose rate response that reflects a single scatter from the containment structure above the core ..

In this assessment, a lesser source term is more conservative to use (because it results in lower dose rates) and the twice burn, 5% enrichment provides a lesser source term than lower enrichments or single burns. The lesser source term results in a lower dose rate response ensuring that control room or SERO response to rad monitors used would be timely. In addition, since the core may be in a reduced inventory condition with containment closure not established, an assumption of 25 days decay will be assumed (this is roughly when draindown has occurred in order to put the reactor head back on the vessel).

This source term represents 1 fuel assembly decayed for 25 days using the ORIGENS code from the SCALE package (SQA Level 2). ORIGENS is a neutron depletion and decay code that will generate a source term that can be used in the QADS code with a multiplier to reach the equivalent of 217 assemblies. QADS is also from the SCALE package and is a point-kernel gamma shielding code. All of the fuel assemblies in a core will be modeled as a large cylindrical source. Receptor points will be located at the elevation of the rad monitors (for air scatter determination) and at the top of the containment dome (so that concrete/ steel scatter can be assessed).

MicroShield Version 7.02 (Ref. 11)

Key Inputs and Assumptions Used:

1. Fuel rod gap fractions : 3% noble gas, 2% iodine, 5% cesium (Ref. 9)
2. Detector placed -0.5 inches from 2-inch pipe shielded with lead
3. North Anna Core Inventory Method of Analysis:

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.
