Dear Mr. Testat
[
This letter is in response to our telephone conversation on October 24, 1989.
You requested information relating to certain capabilities and measurns the CNFP would take in the event of l
adverse weather.
QUESTION 1:
What is the ma):imum wind speed that can be measured by metwarological equipment maintained at the CNFP?
RESPONEE:
The CNFP does not inventory any type of
~
meteorological equipment.
If necessary, meteorological data can be obtained from the Naval Nuclear Fuel Division or the U. S.
Weather Dureau office, located in nearby Lynchburg, Virginia.
l l
l pUESTION 2:
What is our emergency action level for flooding conditions?
RESPONSE
Please reference Section 8.2.1.3 of the enclosed pages of our RCP.

8.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION 8.2.1.2 Alarm Systems._and Release I
Prevention LIQUID EFFLUENT RELEASE
{
PREVENTION Potentially contaminated liquid effluent is evaporated and processed through our air effluent system as described in Chapter 5.
i The air effluent release prevention features are as previously described.
The j
retention tank backup system (also described in Chapter 5) utilizen liquid level alarms which sound in 1
the Health-Safety Office.
Flow can be switched to the empty tank while the full tank is evaluated for compliance with 10 CFR 20 Appendix B lisaits prior to release.
The two tanks aru joined by an overflow line so that in case of alarm failure, the excess waste will flow into the other tank.
In addition, the tanks are protected by a 2,000 gallon concrete sump.
A diagram of the retention tank system is shown in Figure 8.3.

8.2.1.3 Support Systems I
EARTHOUAKE The CNFP is located in an area classified as Zone 2 on the seismic Risk Map of the United States and corresponds to an intensity of VII on the Modified Mercalli Scale.
This intensity has an acceleration range of 0.06
[
and 0.14 g and implies variable damage to building.
It is assumed there would be no loss of integrity of the metal frame, sheet-metal-covered CNFP facility, due to the metal's ductility.

TORNADO 1
l The CNFP is not designed to I
g withstand the direct impact of a I
tornado.
However, the CNFP is i
located in a relatively low probability area for tornadoes.
The probability of a tornado actually striking the site in any j
giveg4 year is estimated to be 3.0 x 10
, with a recurrence
+
interval of 3,333 years.
j FLOODS I
The possible effects of flooding I
at the CNFP are considered to'be zero since the estimated 500 year flood would have a stage of 497 feet, while the floor of the CNFP l
is at 547 feet.
The Standard i
Project Flood projected by the t
Corps of Engineers would reach 502 feet, still 45 feet below the CNFP floor.
Elevations are above sea l
1evel.
i Accidents At Neighboring Activities Babcock & Wilcox operates the NNFD E
and NNFD-RL f acilities on the site i
adjacent to the CNFP.
A l
criticality accident at those facilities would probably activate the CNFP criticality monitoring
[
system which would sound the evacuation alarms.
