Complete ZionUnits1and2(Ceco)hasrespondedtoanNRCrequesttoproposeTSto primarily constrain operation of the large (42") containment purge supply and exhaust valves on these units see reference 1.

The former Plant Systems Branch, Section A, of the Division of PWP. Licensing l

A, requested Section 8 of the same branch to review the offsite radiological consequences of this proposal.

1 The enclosed Safety Evaluation Report has been prepared by the technical reviewer initially assigned to this task, namely Robert 8. A. Licciardo.

The licensee's proposal is to allow full power operation of the facility with the 42" purge supply and exhaust containment isolation valves op(en to a7)secondsof limited position of 50", and capable of isolation within seven the cossencement of a LOCA.

The review concludes that the 42" valves at Zion should remain closed in 2, ) and 4 because the consequence of the offsite dose to thyroid Modes 1, dine) during a LOCA is unacceptable high; whole body dose has not been (from io evaluated: The least value for the additional offsite dose which may be proposed withinthelicensingbasisis64,000removerthefirstseven(7) seconds.

The conventional treatment of BTP CSB 6-4 which assumes that fuel failure does y-'

not occur over the first 5-15 seconds after a LOCA and thereby that only RCS enerating inventory of fission products is released to the containment, and ND t en to the environment, cannot in general be sustained against thermal hydraulic analyses for containment response, and licensing basis requirements (including C-criteria) for the calculation for, and the occurrence of, fuel damage and the quantification and treatment of resulting source terms.
