Occket No. 50-201 MEMORANCUM FOR: Lelar.d C. Rouse, Chief Advanced Fuel and Spent Fuel Licensing Branch FROM:
Charles J. Haughney Advanced Fuel and Spent Fuel Licensing Branch
SUBJECT:
MEETING
SUMMARY
LICENSEES:
Muclear Fuel Services, Inc. (NFS) and New York State Energy Resaarch and Development Authority (NYSERDA)
(License No. CSF-1)
FACILITY:
Western New York Nuclear Service Center, West Valley, New York
Purpose:
To discuss the progress of NFS efforts to process technical data useful for future decontamination and decommissioning of the West Valley facility To discuss results of NRC analyses of the effect of tornado-generated missiles at the West Valley site.
Place and Date: Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC), Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards, Silver Spring, Maryland; April 16, 1980
Participants:
please see attached list.
Index of Facility Design Data The index for plant area 15, Comon Facilities is approximately two-thirds complete.
It is expected that the entire area II index will be completed by the time of the next meeting. The next area to be worked on will be plant area 02, the Low Level Waste Treatment Plant.

Report of Decontamination History The section of the decontamination history that describes decontamination efforts in the Chemical Process Cell has been completed as a draft working paper. Sections of the report that describe past efforts in the other head end cell areas are still under preparation. Records from health and safety files have been reviewed to obtain the external gamma dose rate measurements that were taken near the replaced dissolver (3C-2) and low level waste evaporator (7C-2). Radiation measurements taken on these vessels in both the CPC and in the Equipment Decontamination Room (EDR) show the highest gamma to be at the vessel bottoms. The highest readings taken in the EDR after the vessels were loaded in containment boxes were 2.5 rem /hr at one foot from the bottom of 3C-2 and 12 rem /hr at two inches from the bottom of 7C-2. A general range of readings at six inches from the bottem of 7C-2 was from 3 rem /hr to 5 rem /hr. Although no gamma energy spectra analyses were performed, plant personnel judge that the major source of activity in the vessels would be from cladding fines and, in particular, the activation product Cobalt-60.
Tornado Missile Analysis Dr. Wayne Coffman, an NRC structural engineering consultant, described the results of his analysis on the potential for penetration by tornado generated missiles of a small concrete block portion of the Head End Ventilation (HEV) building. Most of the portion of the HEV building that contains the exhaust filters is below grade; but a small area of this portion of the HEV building, constructed of concrete block with steel rebar, extends about two feet above grade. Among the many potential missiles considered by Dr. Coffman were those listed in the reactor Standard Review Plan used by structural reviewers in the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation. These missiles are, therefore, of a conservative, design basis nature. Dr. Coffman also considered penetration formulae empirically developed from various ballistics experiments conducted by the Department of Defense.
Following presentation of his analysis, NFS agreed to consider the results and contact the NRC with their intended future actions with respect to potential tornado missile impacts on the HEV building.
