SNM Lic 202 Februa ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 8 1.2 STORAGE CONDITIONS The control and accounting for special nuclear materials is in accordance with ANSI N15.8-1974, " Nuclear Material Control Systems for Nuclear Power Plants."
1.2.1 Storage Locations There are three principal locations where the fuel bundles or assemblies may be stored. These include (1) New Fuel Storage Vault, (2) Spent Fuel Pool -
Auxiliary Building, and (3) Fuel Pool - Containment Building. Appropriate descriptions and drawings of these areas are provided in the FSAR as referenced in section 1.2.3 below. The relative location of these storage areas to each other is as shown in Figures 4, 5, and 6.
Circumstances may arise which could briefly interrupt offloading and receipt of fuel in the Auxiliary Building Fuel Handling Area. For example, maintenance or malfunction of the fuel handling cranes or test or construction activities which conflict with fuel receipt could disrupt fuel receiving activities.
As a contingency for such a disruption, a temporary storage area will be provided where crated fuel may be stored in its wooden shipping crate. This area will be a secure, limited access area controlled in accordance with the interim security plan (Section 1.2.5).
Further information on temporary storage is given in Section 1.2.3.3.
In a Jdition, while awaiting unpacking for inspection, channeling, and storage, fuel may be stored in its metal shipping containers in the fuel handling area (Auxiliary Building, Elevation 208'-10", Figure 6).
This is a limited access area controlled in accordance with the interim security plan. Criticality control is discussed in Section 2.2.3.
o 1.2.2 Adjacent Area Activities To the extent practical, no operations other than fuel and component inspection, handling, and storage will be performed in the fuel storage areas. Crane operations will be restricted such that no more than one channeled fuel assembly or equivalent weight per crane will be allowed over storage areas containing fuel.
Loaded fuel shipping containers or properly designed overload test weights may be handled in these areas provided they are at no time suspended over the fuel arrays in storage. Any non-fuel related activities which must be conducted in the fuel handling area will be reviewed and approved by the Technical Superintendent, or his designee.
r SNM Licenso February 13, 1981 Amen ^=*nt 2 Page 9 Activities in the fuel handli=g area on Elevatics 208'-10" of the Auxiliary Building vill be restricted as follows during fuel handli:g:
a)
No painting, grinding, sandblasting, or similar activites are alleved.
b)
No overhead work is alleved.
c)
No crane operatices other than thos.'
required for fuel handling and inspettien are allowed.
d)
No ecestruction or test activities which may adversely affect fire protection is the fuel handling area are alleved.
E en fuel handling activities are not in progress, selected activities such as those abcve may be performed provided the fuel is protected and the activities are reviewed and appreved by the Technical Superintendent, or his desig=ce.
Activities is other areas of the Auxiliary Building and containment need not be restricted during this period. Such activities include ce=struction and testing associated with completics of the plant.
1.2.3 Fuel Storage and Handli=r 1.2.3.1 New Fuel Storage Vault The new fuel storage vault centai=s storage space for-a mari= = of 300 feel assemblies.
The vault ec=tains thirty (30) sets of castings, each capable of holding up to ten (10) fuel assemblies. Each set of castings is made up of three tiers which are pcsitioned by fixed box beams (See Figure 7A). This arrangement maintains the fuel assemblies is a vertical positica l
supported at lever and upper tie plates with added lateral support at the center of gravity of the fuel assembly.
The new fuel storage racks are made free alumines. "aterials used for constructics are specified in accordance with the latest issue of applicable ASTM specificatices.
The material choice is based an a censideratics of the susceptibility of varieur metal ceabisatices to electrechemica'. :cactice.

The use of stainless steel fasteners in aluminum to avoid detrimental galvanic corrosion'is a recommended practice and has been used successfully for many years by the aluminum industry.
The rack is designed to withstand an impact force of 4,000 ft.-lbs. while maintaining the safety design basis. This impact force could be generated by the vertical free fall of a fuel assembly from a height of six feet, i
The storage rack is designed to withstand a pull-up force of 4,000 pounds and a horizontal force of 1,000 pounds. The racks are designed with lead outs to prevent sticking. However, in the event of a stuck fuel assembly, the lifting bail will yield at a pull-up force less than 1,000 pounds.
The storage rack is designed to withstand horizontal combined loads up to 222,000 pounds.
The fuel storage rack is designed to handle non-irradiated, low. emission radioactive fuel assemblies. The expected radiation levels are well below the design levels.
The fuel storage rack is designed using non-combustible materials. Plant procedures and inspections assure that combustible l
materials are restricted from this area.
l Fire prevention by elimination of combustible materials and fluids is regarded as the prudent approach rather than fire accommodation l
and the need for fire suppressant materials which could inhibit or negate criticality control assurances. Therefore, fire accommodation is not considered a prob 1-m.
I The new fuel storage vault is provided with a removable metal cover to ensure a watertight facility. When the vault ';
filled, the metal covers will be secu.ed.

A complete description of the New Fuel Storage Vault including design criteria is contained in subsection 9.1.1 of the Grand Gulf FSAR.
1.2.3.2 Spent Fuel Pool _ Storage - Auxiliary Building and Fuel Pool - Containment Building i
The spent fuel storage racks in the aus iliary building and containment contain a storage space sufficient for 158 percent and 21 percent, respectively, of one full core of fuel assemblies and are designed to withstand all credible static and dynamic loadings to prevent damage to the structure of the racks, and therefore the contained fuel',
and to minimize distortion of the racks arrangement.
The racks are designed to protect the fuel assemblies from excessive physical damage under normal or abrormal conditions.
The racks are constructed in accordance with the Quality Assurance. Requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
The rack arrangement is designed to prevent accidental insertion of fuel bundles between adjacent racks. The storage rack structure is so designed that the upper tie plate casting cannot be lowered below the top of the upper rack. This prevents any tendency of the fuel bundle jamming on insertion or removal from the rack.
The spent fuel storage racks are categorized as safety Class 2 and seismic Category I.
The spent fuel storage facility is housed within a seismic Category I structure and is designed to Regulatory Guides 1.13 and l
1.29 which precludes any deleterious effects on rpent fuel rack integrity due l
to natural phenomena such as earthquakes, tornadoes, hLrricanes, tornado missiles, I

-,. ~ _.
SNM Lic:nna Fsbrua ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 12 and floods. The spent fuel storage facility is designed in accordance with General Design Criteria 61, 62, and 63.
There are three tiers of castings which are positioned by fixed-box beams and cruciforms (see Figure 7B). These hold the fuel assemblies in a vertical position and are supported at the lower and upper tie plate with additional lateral support at the center of gravity of the fuel assembly.
The lower casting supports the weight of the fuel assembly and restricts the lateral movement; the center and top casting restricts lateral movement only of the fuel assembly.
The spent fuel storage racks are made from alusinum. Materials used for construction are specified in accordance with the latest issue of applicable ASTM specifications.
The material choice is based cn a consideration of the susceptibility of various metal combinations to electrochemical reaction.
When considering the susceptibility of metals to galvanic corrosion, aluminue and stainless steel are relatively close together insofar as their coupled potential is concerned. The use of stainless steel fasteners in aluminum to avoid detrimental galvanic corrosion is a recommended practice and has beec used successfully for many years by the aluminum industry.
i The minimum center-to-center spacing for I
the fuel assembly between rows is 11.875 inches. The minimum center-to-center spacing within the rows is 6.535 inches.
Fuel assembly placement between rows is not possible.
Lead-in and lead-out of the castings provide guidance of the fuel aasembly during insertion or withdrawal The rack is designed to withstand the impact force of 4,000 ft.-lbs. while maintaining the safety design basis. This impact force could be generated by the vertical free-fall of a fuel assembly from the height of six feet.
SNM Licznne Februsry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 13 The storage rack is designed to withstand the pull-up force of 4,000 pounds and a horizontal force of 1,000 pounds. There are no readily available forces in excess of 1,000 pounds. The racks are designed with lead-outs to prevent sticking.
However, in the event of a stuck fuel assembly, the lifting bail will yield at a pull-up force less than 1,000 pounds.
The storage rack is designed to withstand horizontal combined loads up to 220,000 i
pounds, well in excess of expected loads.
Tha spent fuel storage racks are designed to handle irradiated or unirradiated fuel assemblies. The expected radiation levels are well below the design levels.
If the spent-fuel storage pool or containment building fuel pool are not flooded, a fire retardant covering will be placed over fuel stored in the racks to prevent the entry of debris or fire suppressant materials.
A person will be stationed on the racks to lead-in and to maintain, to the maximum 9
extent practicable, coverage of the fuel with the fire retardant covering.
A complete description of the fuel storage racks in the containment and auxiliary buildings is contained in subsection 9.1.2 of the Gesad Gulf FSAR.
1.2.3.3 Temporary Storage As discussed in Section 1.2.1, a temporary i
outdoor storage area is provided in case unforeseen events briefly interrupt fuel l
receipt and offloading. This area is
(
located in the southwest corner of the switchyard (see Figures 8A and 8B). This ar-sa is located within the fenced site bounda ry.
The temporary storage area will be a securely fenced, limited access area which will be guarded continually when fuel is present in accordance with the Interim Security Plan. Fuel stored in this area will remain on the trailers used for shipment. No more than three (3) trailers holding a maximum of ninety-six
SNM Licanna Fsbruary 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 14 (96) fuel bundles in their shipping crates will be allowed in the temporary storage area. As soon as fuel receiving can be resumed, the fuel will be removed from temporary storage and moved to the Auxiliary Building.
1.2.3.4 Fuel Handling System - Auxiliary and Containment Buildings All fuel handling equipment will be preoperationally tested for safe operation prior to the receipt of unirradiated fuel.
The fuel handling equipment and fuel bundles and assemblies are specifically designed for all fuel handling activities described in this application.
A complete description of the Fuel Handling System is contained in subsection 9.1.4 of the Grand Gulf FSAR.
1.2.3.5 Fuel Handling Activities Upon arrival of a shipment of fuel from the Wilmington facility the following will normally take place:
1.
Health Physics will perform a preliminary survey on the truck.
l The Reactor Engineering Departmest l
will be notified of any unsatisfactory l
results identifed by the survey.
i 2
The shipment is then directed from the gate to the railroad bay in the Auxiliary Building at Elevation 133'-0".
3.
The Maintenance Supervisor will locate the truck and direct the removal of tarps and chains.
I 4.
Health Physics will survey the wooden crates.
l S.
The shipment and shipping containers will be verified to comply with shipping papers presented by the carrier. Reactor Engineering is responsible for evaluation and l
resolution of discrepancies.
l l
l
SNM Licznsa Fcbrua ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 15 6.
Upos proper acceptance of shipping papers and radiation surveys, the truck may be unloaded.
After removal of the metal shipping containers from the wooden shipping crates, the containers will be hoisted to the Fuel Handling Area, 208'-10" elevation, of the Auxiliary Building using either the raw fuel bridge crane or the spent fuel cask cranes. The fuel may now be readied for inspection, channeling, and storage or inspection and storage. All personnel involved in the inspection operation will be familiar with and adhere to all criticality rules.
Inspection, channeling, and storage will proceed in accordance with written procedures as follows:
1.
Unpack fuel bundles from the metal shipping containers.
Remove the polyethylene sleeves from the fuel bundles prior to 2
inspection. The sleeves will then be permanently discarded.
2.
Move one bundle to the new fuel inspection stand and secure in place on the inspection stand.
Move second bundle from the shipping container and secure in place on the inspection stand.
Two bundles may be secured on
- the inspection stand concurrently.
Bundle movements will generally be made using the new fuel bridge crane.
3.
The inspection will encompass the following categories:
a.
Visual examination.
b.
Removal of packing spacers.
c.
Dimensional check.
d.
Pin enrichment and location check (also gadolinia fuel pins).
e.
Clean all outside surfaces and verify cleanliness of all surfaces.
4.
The inspected bundles may now be channeled and transported to the
SNM Liccusa Fsbruary 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 16 new fuel vault or the spent fuel storage pool. The inspected bundles may also be transported to the new fuel vault for storage prior to being channeled.
5.
Two independent observers will verify the coordinates of the stored fuel in the new fuel vault or in the spent fuel storage pool.
6.
The stored fuel in either the new fuel vault when the permanent covers are not in place or the spent fuel storage pool when not flooded will be covered by a fire retardant material to prevent possible inundation by low density fire extinguisher-foam or water mist.
I Should a defective new fuel bundle be found, the bundle will be clearly marked and segregated from all non-defective fuel bundles in the new fuel vault or the spent fuel storage pool.
Should a condition arise that would preclude the inspection and subsequent storage of new fuel in the new fuel vault or the spent fuel storage pool, the crated fue'.
I may be diverted, as allowed in 1.2.1,
" Storage Locations," to the temporary storage area located within the site bounda ry.
Such temporary storage area will be a fenced, limited access area with security supervision and protection against theft, vandalism, and fire hazard (see Figures 8A and 8B). A maximum of forty-eight (48) crates of fuel will be allowed in the temporary storage area. This temporary storage area will be used, in accordance l
with the Interim Security Plan, as a surge area in unforseeable events such as the following:
a.
Unavailability of new feel bridge crane and spent fuel cask crane.
I b.
Necessary construction or test l
activities affecting fuel handling l
operations, t
SNM Licens2 Fcbrua ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 17 Transfer of new fuel stored in the temporary storage area to the fuel handling area of the Auxiliary Building at elevation 208'-10" will be made as soon as possible. Eve ry effort will be made to minimize the time of storage of new fuel in the temporary storage area.

i The materials used in construction of the fuel storage area are concrete and steel.
The fuel assemblies themselves and fuel i
racks are also constructed of non-flammable materials. Fire protection is provided by a hose connection and hose in the fuel area.
The fire protection system consists of two 300,000 gallon nominal capacity water i
storage tanks at atmospheric pressure, one electrically driven 1,500 gpa at 125 psig fire pump, two diesel-driven 1,500 gpa at 125 psig fire pumps, one 30 gpa at 125 psig jockey fire pump, fire water yard mains, hydrants, standpipes, hose stations, l
sprinklers, deluge spray systems, automatic Halon 1301 systems, automatic carbon dioxide systems, hydrogen detectors, smoke
SNM Licanta Fcbrusry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 19 detectors, alarms, fire barriers, fire stops, fire breaks, portable fire extinguishers, portable breathing apparatus, smoke and heat ventilation systems, and associated controls and appurtenances.
The fire-fighting water is taken from the two water storage tanks, which are capable of being filled by the plant service water system in less than four hours. The plant service water system supplies water directly to the jockey fire pump. The fire pump suction piping is arranged so that any pump can take suction from either water storage tank. An outside hose header test manifold equipped with six hose valves is provided for annual tests.
The fire protection system is designed to operate and/or fail without inducing failure of engineered safety features. No electrically conductive fire extinguishing agent is automatically released on relays, switchgear, motor control center, or other i
critical safeguard equipment.
Ventilation systems, including smoke and heat removal systems, are discussed in further detail in Table 1.0, Section D.4, of Appendix 9A of the Grand Gulf FSAR and the individual system description in Sections 6.4 and 9.4 of the Grand Gulf FSAR. Appendix 9A contains the reference drawings of.the Fire Protection Program Review. Figures 9 and 10 show the relative location of fire protection apparatus (i.e., hose stations, extinguishers, etc.)
on the refueling floor in the auxiliary and containment buildings.
Construction of the Fire Protection System serving the fuel handling and storage areas will be completed prior to the receipt of unirradiated fuel. The Fire Protection System in these areas will also have successfully completed preoperational i
testing. No activities which may adversely affect the Fire Protection System in the fuel handling area will be allowed.
During fuel handling and storage operations, the Shift Superintendent acting as Shift Fire Chief is responsible for all activities regarding the Fire Protection System and implementation of the Station Fire Plan.
SNM Lic o 2 Ecbrua ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 20 A complete description of the Fire Protection System is contained in subsection 9.5.1 and Appendices 9A and 98 of the Grand Gul!
FSAR.
1.2.4.2 Fire Protection - Temporary Storage Non-flammable or fire retardant materials will be utilized where possible.
The following protection and precautions will be taken for storage in the Temporary Storage area:
1.
There will be a security guard stationed in the area of the fuel with communications to the control room and the security office.
2.
The crated fuel will be inspected for fire hazard once every eight hour shift.
3.
Portable fire extinguishers will be located near the stored fuel.
1.2.5 Control of Access to Areas Where Special Nuclear Material is Stored A description of the controls for prevention of unauthorized access to the fuel storage area is contained in the Interim Security Plan and is considered security confidential. This plan is submitted under separate cover.
Control of access to temporary storage areas, as discussed in Section 1.2.3.3, is also covered under this plan.
1.3 PHYSICAL PROTECTION The quantity of U-235 (contained in uranium enriched to 20% or more in the U-235 isotope), or plutonium to be possessed under this license is less than the quantity specified in 10 CFR 73.1(b) of 10 CFR 73. Therefore, the physical protection requirements specified therein do not apply. Physical protection is, however, addressed in the Interin Security Plan for protection of the received, unirradiated fuel bundles. As noted in 1.1.3 of this application, the average initial core enrichment is 1.708% U-235.
The highest enrichment contained in any bundle is 2.60% U-235.
SNM Licents Fcbruary 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 21 1.4 TRANSFER OF SPECIAL NUCLEAR MATERIALS 1.4.1 Fuel Shipments General Electric Company will be responsible for the shipment of fuel to the plant site from their Wilmington, N.C. facility. The fuel will be shipped in approved shipping containers.
If for any reason fuel would have to be shipped back to the Wilmington facility from the plant, MP&L will be responsible for the shipment.
1.4.2 Packaging of Fuel for Transportation General Electric Company will be responsible for the packaging of fuel for shipment from the Wilmington facility to Grand Gulf. MP&L will be responsible for the packaging of any fuel which is required to be returned to the GE Wilmington facility.

Additional detail on the frequencies and methods for calibration of instruments is discussed in Section 12.5.2.2 of the FSAR.
2.2 NUCLEAR CRITICALITY SAFETY l
2.2.1 Personnel and Training Reactor engineering personnel are responsible for criticality safety related to fuel handling and storage operations.
l Safety is ensured through a combination of engineered safeguards and written procedures. Training is conducted to ensure that reactor engineering personnel are thoroughly familiar with these design features and procedures.
Qualifications of Reactor Engineering personnel are l
~
2 contained in Regulatory Guide 1.8 (FSAR Appendix 3A).
The reactor engineer and the training superintendent are responsible for developing and implementing the criticality training program.
2.2.2 Storage of Loaded Shipping Containers The fuel bundles may be stored in shipping containers.
If they are stored in this way, the shipping containers will be stored in no more active array than they were j
during shipping. The shipping containers will be located I
in Itaited access areas according to the Interim Security Plan submitted under separate cover.

One (1) steel container is contained in each wooden shipping crate. Two (2) fuel bundles are contained in each steel container. The container and crate are described in General Electric Company drawing numbers 731E674 and 829E209, respectively.
They are licensed with the NRC under Certificate of Compliance 4986.
2.2.3 Nuclear Safety of Storage Location 2.2.3.1 Criticality Control New Fuel Vault The calculations of k are based upon the geometrical arrangeme$kk of the fuel array and subcriticality does not depend upon the presence of neutron absorbing materials. The arrangement of fuel assemblies in the fuel storage racks results in k below 0.95 in a dry condition orcompletelyfloodedwithwaterwhichhasa density of 1 g per cc.
To meet the requirements of General Design Criterion 62, geometrically-safe i
configurations of fuel stored in the new fuel array are employed to assure that k will not exceed 0.95iffuelisstoredinth,gdrycondition e
or if the abnormal condition of flooding (water with a density of I g/cc) occurs.

bundle should the vault be flooded and drained.
Analy;is shows that the possibility exists that j
nuder optimum conditions of fuel geometry and moderation, a critical assembly may result.
Such optimum moderation conditions could conceivably result from water mists from fire fogging nozzles, fire sprinkers, or from fire suppression foams. Fire fogging nozzles, sprinklers, and foams are excluded from the fuel handling area.
As further protection while fuel is being inserted or removed at the new fuel vault, the fuel will be protected with a fire retardant covering. When the new fuel vault is loaded, the permanent water tight covers will be secured.
SNM Lica~=a Fcbrua ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 24 No limitation is placed on the size of the new fuel storage array from a criticality standpoint since all calculations are performed on an infinite basis. The new fuel storage area therefore accommodates fuel from a multi-unit facility with no safety implications. All handling conditions remain the same and there is no compromise of'any safety considerations.
No credit is taken for burnable poisons which may be contained in any fuel bundle.
The minimum center-to-center spacing for the fuel assembly between rows is 11.875 inches.
The minimum center-to-center spacing with the rows is 6.535 inches. Fuel assembly placement between rows is not possible.
A safety realuation of the New Fuel Vault storage area is provided in subsectirn 9.1.1.3 of the Grand Gulf FSAR.
2.2.3.2 Criticality Control Spent Fuel Pool and Containment Pool The design of the spect fuel storage racks provides for a subcritical multiplication factor (k
) for both normal and abnormal storagec$nkitions. For normal and abnormal conditions, k is equal to or less than 0.95.
ff Normal condit, ions exist when the fuel storage racks are located in the pool and are covered with a normal depth of water (about 25 feet above the stored-fuel) for radiation shielding and with the maximum number of fuel assemblies or bundles in their design storage position.
An abnormal condition may result from accidental dropping of equipment or damage caused by the horizontal sovement of fuel handling equipment without first disengaging the fuel from the hoisting equipment. To meet the requirements of General Design Criterion 62, geometrically safe configurations of fuel stored in the spent fuel array are esp.loyed to assure that k ff does not exceed 0.93 under all normal an8 abnormal storage conditions. The geometry of the spent fuel storage array is such that k,f',
is 0.95 due to overmoderation. The design o the fuel, racks, and pools ensures that water will not be retained around an assembly when the pools are flooded and drain =d.

Fire fogging nozzles, sprinklers, and foams are excluded from the fuel handling areas in the Auxiliary Building and Containment. As further protectfon, if the spent fuel storage i
pool or containment building fuel pool are not flooded, a fire retardant covering will protect the fuel.
T'ne rack holddown bolt spacing is such as to maintain minimum spacing of adjacent racks for geometric reactivity control. The racks are designed to maintain a minimum fuel spacing of 6.535 inches (center to center) within a rack and 11.875 inches (center to center) from rack to rack.
No neutron poison is used in the spent' fuel pool or racks. No credit is taken for burnable poisons which may be contaiosd in any fuel bundles.
A safety evaluation of the Spent Fuel Fool and Containment Pool storage areas is provided in subsection 9.1.2.3 of the Grand Gulf FSAR.

Each fuel movement is required by procedure to be confirmed by an independent observer before the movement is considered complete.
2.2.3.3 Criticality Control Temporary Storage Fuel bundles in Temporary Storage will be l
stored in no more active an array th e they I
were during shipping. Each trailer sarries a l
maximum of sixteen (16) crates. Each crate l
shall contain a maximum of two (2) fuel bundles.
i No more then three (3) trailers having a combined
~
maximum of ninety-six (96) fuel bundles will be permitted in the temporary storage area.
l 2.2.4 Moderation Control l
l Analyses of the storage areas take into account the effects of full and no moderacicn. Results show that flooding or lack of moderation producs: no adverse effect on nuclear safety. The effects of optimum interspersed moderation and the protective actions taken considering it were discussed in Section 2.2.3.

SNM Liccusa February 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 26 The storage of fuel in the new fuel vault, auxi' ary building puol, or containment building pool is such that if the array were flooded and drained, the fuel packaging would not retain water around or within the assemblies.
2.2.5 Maximum Number of Fuel Assemblies Out of Authorized Locations The maximum number of fuel bundles that will be allowed outside a normal, approved storage location or normal shipping container is three (3). Fuel bundles outside approved storage locaticos or shipping containers must maintain an edge-to-edge spacing of 12 inches or more from all other fuel. A fuel array of four or more bu*.dles outside approved fuel storage locations or shippin; containers is prohibited.
No more than one metal shipping container may be opened at any one time and this container must be closed if all fuel is not immediately rencved. Removal of the wooden crates is done only in the enclosed railroad bay at elevation 133'-0".
The metal shipping container will be opened only in the fuel handling area at elevation 208'-10".
Fuel shipping containers will not be opened in the temporary storage area.
2.2.6 Criticality Accident Requirements - Auxiliary and Containment Buildings Emergency procedures and drills in conjunction with detectors and instrumentation for a criticality accident will be in place prior to fuel arrival on-site. Area Radiation Monitoring in the area of fuel movement and storage for criticality mcnitoring will be operable.
Additionally, a criticality accident is not credible under the storage and handling conditions previously described. An exemption is requested from the requirements of 10 CFR 70.24(b) as provided in 70.24(c).
The area radiation monitoring system is provided to supplement the personnel and area radiation survey provisions r
l of the plant health physics program described in FSAR Section 12.5 to ensure compliance with the personnel radiation protection guidelines of 10 CFR 20, 10 CFR 50, I
10 CFR 70, and Regulatory Guides 8.2, 8.8, and 8.12.
l l
The following design criteria are applicable to the area radiation monitoring system.
RANGEABILITY - Five decade range indication appropriate for the detector location. The lower range limit is 2
selected as the lower of the following:
w I
b
e SNM LicInco Februa ry 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 27 1.
The radiation level existing with the plant shutdown (i.e., natural background).
2.
One decade lower than the radiatica level existing with the plant in operation (i.e.,
2 normal background).
The alarm setpoint will be in the second decade of reading or higher.
SENSITIVITY - Gamma sensitive to photon energies of 100 kev and above.
RESPONSE - In any range, the readout indicates at least 90 percent of its end point reading within 5 seconds after step change in radiation level at the detector.
ELT.RGY DEPENDENCE - The dose rate (ares /hr) readout is within 15 percent of the actual dose rate in each detected area from photon energies between 100 kev and 1.5 MeV.
ENVIRONMENTAL DEPENDENCE - The system meets the above requirements for all variations of temperature, pressure, and relative humidity within each area monitored which includes 95 percent relative humidity and temperatures between 32 F and 120 F.
EXPOSURE LIFE - Each detector maintains its characteristics up to an integrated dose of 10 rads.
i Airborne radioactivity monitoring is provided in compliance with 10 CFR 20 and Regulatory Guides 8.2 and 8.8.
The purpose of the airborne radioactivity monitoring system is to monitor the air within an enclosure by either l
direct measurement of the enclosure atmosphere or the exhaust air from this enclosure. The system indicates and records the levels of airborne radioactivity, and, if abnormal levels occur, actuates alarms. Alarms are provided to alert personnel that airborne radioactivity is at or above the selected setpoint level to ensure that l
personnel are not subjected to airborne radioactivity above limits in 10 CFR 20.
The system provides a continuous record of airborne radioactivity levels which will aid operating personnel in saintaining airborne radioactivit,'
at the lowest practicable level.
The in-plant airborne radiological monitoring and sampling systems are provided to allow deteomination of the content of radioactive material in various rooms throughout the plant. The design objectives and criteria are primarily determined by the system safety functions.
i
SNM Licinne February 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 28 The criteria for determining the type of airborne radioactivity monitoring system are based upon the. nature and type of radioactive releases expected, and the location being monitored.
Where ingestion of radioactive airborne materials by plant personnel is a possibility, monitors are used to analyze, record and alarm should the radioactivity approach the limits established by 10 CFR 20.
A complete description of the Radiation Protection design features is contained in subsection 12.3 of the Grand Gulf FSAR.
2.2.7 Criticality Accident Requirements - Temporary Storage A criticality accident is not credible under these. conditions of storage. Exemption is requested from 10 CFR 70.24(b) as provided in 10 CFR 70.24(c).
i 2.3 ACCIDENT ANALYSES 2.3.1 Auxiliary and Containment Buildings Accident Analyses for fuel handling equipment and storage areas are provided throughout Sections 9.1.1, 9.1.2, and 9.1.4 of the FSAR. The potential for accidents affecting the safety of fuel in the storage areas i; limited to the l
dropping of fuel assemblies over the storage area. :No overhead load greater than one fuel assembly will be allowed in or over the fuel storage array. This requirement is contained in procedure No. 07-S-01-13 (Control of Crane Operation). The seismic design of the containment and the auxiliary-building, and of cranes, racks, and pools precludes the credibility of more severe accidents.
In the unlikely event of a dropped fuel assembly La the storage areas, the consequences affecting safety would be minime '.. Due to the spacing of the storage arrays, a criticality condition woulu not be possible under these accident conditions. The consequences of the accident would be limited to the minimal effect of possible rupture of fuel rods and subsequent release of unieradiated uranium dioxide fuel.

Radioactive Sources Description Quantity Isotope Est. Activity Each Operational 14 Sb124 1400 Curies Source (Seven (7) operational sources with two (2) 1400 Curie pins each) l The operational sources will be shipped in lead filled drums l
approximately 47" tall and 31" in diameter, which meet DOT package specifications. The source is positioned within a 7" diameter x 25" long cavity which is centered in the drum and surrounded by lead shielding. The cavity is sealed with a lead plug. This shipping container is a General Electric Model 1500 Shielded Container, licensed with the DOT under S.P. No. 5939.
Consistent with recommendations of Regulatory Guide 8.8, MP&L has I
committed to establish a health physics program to maintain i
occupational and general public exposure to radiation "As Low As 2
Reasonably Achievable" (ALARA). The ALARA program is contained in Administrative Procedure No. 01-5-08-2.
~
The operational neutron sources will be stored in the shielded container in the containment building fuel pool. This pool is withia a limited access area. The area containing the sources will be designated and posted as either a Radiation Area or High Radiation Area, if required, depending on the dose rate. The area will also be designated as a Radioactive Material Area. These areas will be established and controlled in accordance with plant administrative procedures. Periodic radiological surveys will be performed to ensure personnel safety.
k
. _. ~
SNM Lictate February 13, 1981 Amendment 2 Page 30 Shortly before fuel loading commences the containment fuel pool will be flooded and the shielded shipping container containing the sources unbolted. The operational neutron sources will be removed
-from the shipping container and installed in the source holders.
They will then be transferred ander water to their permanent locations in the reactor vessel. These activities are required prior to fuel load so that source range monitors (SRM) can be calibrated and tested. All of these activities will be performed in accordance with written-procedures under strict operations and health physics supervision.
The storage area will be posted in accordance with 10 CFR 20.203 and positive key control will be utilized to preclude unauthorized entry. Thermoluminescent detectors and self reading dosimeters will be used to monitor personnel for exposure. Exposure limits will be in accordance with 10 CFR 20.101.
3.2 SHIPPING AUTHORIZATION In addition to storage, authorization is requested for provisions 1
to cover return shipping of the sources in their shipping containers to the supplier in case of damage to the sources or excessive decay of sources due to startup delays. Appropriate procedures and precautions will be utilized should this need arise.
3.3 RADIATION PROTECTION In addition to the shielding provided for the operational sources, radiation protection provisions will include:
- 1) proper labeling of storage _ location, 2) radiation surveys of the area, and 3) personnel radiation monitoring for individuals in the area.
