Subject:
Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Docket Nos. 50-413 and 50-414 Steam Generator Tube Rupture Analysis Gentlement Please find attached the Catawba Nuclear Station Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) dose infermation requested per a November 7, 1989 telephone conversation with the NRC staff.
l t
Attachment I contains a summary of integral mass releases used in the i
dose assessment model. Figure 1 presents the dose analysis assumptions for
[
the hot Icg - Steam Generator flashing fraction. The assumptions in i
Figure 1 conservatively bound actual tube uncovering.
Attachment II contains updated dose projections for the postulated SGTR analysis and comparisons to the dose projections in the Catawba FSAR and my SGTR submittal dated August 24, 1988. The revised dose projections reflect changes made due to the relocation of the Catawba Unit 2 Steam Generator level taps. Additional information regarding the Unit 2 level tap relocation is provided in my December 28, 1988 submittal to the NRC.
Due to the relocation of the lower level tap-irom_438.4 inches to 333 inches, the Steam Generator level would reach 33% of the revised span before the old instrument would have come on scale. This allows the operator to identify the ruptured Steam Generator, close the Main Steam Isolation Valvo, and terminate the release of radioactivity approximately 10 minutes earlier than in the current safety analysis. The revised doses are below the regulatory limits in 10 CFR 100.
Attachment III contains a mark-up of Catawba FSAR Table 15.6.3-1 reflecting the updated dose projections.-These changes will be incorporated into the FSAR during a future update.

Cm The following assumptions and parameters are used to calculate the activity release and offsite dose for the postulated steam generator tube rupture:
1.
Prior to the accident, an equilibrium activity of fission products exists.
in the primary and secondary system caused by primary to secondary leakage in the steam generators.
gy 2.
The accident is initiated by the rupture f a steam generator tube, which results in the transfer of approximatelytIUt;E S pounds of reactor coolant into the shell side of the defective steam generator.
3.
Offsite power is lost.
4.
The primary to secondary leakage is 0.653 gal / min in the nondefective steam generators.
5.
The steam release from the defective steam generator terminates in 30 minutes.
The release from the nondefective steam generators terminates in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
6.
All noble gases which leak to the secondary side are released.-
7.
The steam generator iodine partition factor is 0.1 during the accident.
8.
For Case 1, the primary coolant concentration is at the equilibrium Technical Specification limit.
9.
For Case 2, the primary coolant concentration is at the maximum permitted t
for full power operation.
t 10.
For Case, 3, the iodine spike occurs at the onset of the. accident and continues for the duration of the accident.
The iodine concentrations are determined by increasing the equilibrium appearance rate by 500, 11.
Other assumptions are listed in Table 15.6.3-2.
Based on the foregoing model, the thyroid and whole body doses are calculated at the exclusion area boundary and the low population zone.
The results are presented in Table 15.6.3-2.
The doses at these distances are below the regulatory limits of the 25 rem whole body and 300 rem thyroid doses established in 10 CFR 100.
