SUBJECT:

MEETING

SUMMARY

OF SEPTEMBER 22, 1993 On Wednesday, September 22, 1993, at the NRC headquarters in Rockville, Maryland, the staff met with Yankee Atomic personnel. The licensee requested i

4 this meeting in order to update the staff on the status of the preparation of l

the Yankee Rowe decommissioning plan (D-Plan) and of the Component Removal Program.

Currently, the licensee has removed the first steam generator (SG) from the containment and plans to make the first shipment of two SGs to the i

low-level waste disposal facility at Barnwell, South Carolina in mid-November l

1993.

Yankee committed to notify local police in advance of SG shipments and to notify state authorities in advance of all radioactive waste shipments.

The licensee plans to submit the D-Plan to the NRC by the end of 1993.

For i

planning purposes the licensee has scheduled site dismantlement for the year 2000 and fuel transfer from the spent fuel pool to an onsite dry storage facility in 1996.

The staff questioned the licensee about the site industrial safety programs that are required by OSHA. We were informed that such programs are managed by i

a staff headed by a Health and Safety Supervisor and that procedures are in place to implement both OSHA and Massachusetts industrial safety requirements.

The licensee presented slides in a handout entitled, " Decommissioning Plan Overview" (Enclosure 1) which described the decommissioning program and I

presented those portions that are completed and those planned for the future.

These slides also contained an outline of the accident analyses used in the D-Pl an. A second handout entitled, " Draft Decommissioning Plan Examples" (Enclosure 2) included a draft table of contents for the entire D-Plan and samples of key pages in the plan. A List of Attendees is included as.

_m YNPS DECOMNilSSIONING PLAN REVISION D.4 TAIIII 3.4-3 (CONTINUED)

Accident Analysis Plan Section Analysis Section Requirement Reference 3.4.5.4 Radioactive materials storage areas will be located and arranged such that multiple containers or 3.3.2.2 3.4.8.2 components will not be significantly affected by a fire, gas bottle, or collision event causing a 3.4.9.7 release of airborne radioactivity exceeding the bounding materials handling event.

3.4.5.5 Openings in components will be covered and sealed to minimize the spread of contamination after 2.3.4.3 dismantlement and before on-site transportation.

3.4.5.5 The following components will be handled and transported on-site as single containers or 2.3.5.2 3.4.9.7 components to reduce the consequences of a materials handling event: Reactor Vessel Casks; Main 2.3.5.3 Coolant System Piping Containers, Valve Containers, and Pumps; Feed and 111eed lleat Exchanger 2.3.5.5 Shells; Illced Line Piping Containers.

3.4.6.1 11ack-up power sources will be maintained to support spent fuel cooling requirements.

2.2.30 3.4.6.2 If service water is not available to the Vapor Container fire hose reels, an alternate source of 9.1 water will be established within one hour in accordance with the Fire Protection Plan.

3.4.6.3 Decommissioning activities in areas ventilated by the VC Ventilation and Purge System or the 2.3.4.3 Ventilation System will be suspended if ventilation capability is Jost.

3.4.7 The following fire protection features will be maintained through implementation of the Fire 9.1 Protection Program:

Fire detection equipment and systems

3.4.8 Explosives will not be used at YNPS without completion of a separate safety analysis. The 2.3.4.3 analysis must include the effects of the use of explosives both on the Spent Fuel Pit Building and Fuel Transfer Chute structural integrity and on the potential release of airborne radioactivity.

4 2.3.5.5

. Charging and Volume Control System (Section 2.2.6) t The Charging and Volume Control System and components are located in the Vapor Container, Lower Pipe Chase, and Primary Auxiliag Building. The system is not

{

required in a permanently defueled condition or to support decommissioning actisities.

This system does not directly impact Spent Fuel Pit operations. However, sections of this system are interconnected with and are in close proximity to the SFP Cooling and Purification System. Safe load paths and protective zones must be established to prevent interactions with spent fuel cooling.

General decontamination and dismantlement considerations are presented in Section 2.3.4.3. The following are specific system considerations:

The Charging and Volume Control System should be isolated at the o

connections to the Shutdown Cooling, Component Cooling, Purification, Chemical Shutdown, Emergency Core Cooling, Primary Plant Corrosion Control, Service Water, Demineralized Water, Main Coolant, Pressure Control and Relief, Primag Plant Sample, Safe Shutdown, Emergency Feedwater, and Primary Plant Vent and Drain systems.

t Sludge should be removed from the Low Pressure Surge Tank prior to e

dismantlement of the system. The tank should be dismantled into manageable sections in the tank cubicle.

i The Feed and Bleed Heat Exchangers contain a significant amount of e

contamination. Each of the four shells must be handled individually to minimize the release of airborne radioactivity in the unlikely event that a

~

handling accident occurs.

The charging pumps, motors, and drive units should be separated from the e

baseplate prior to removal from the pump cubicles.

l The Low Pressure Surge Tank Cooling pump and Low Pressure Surge e

Tank Cooler should be removed intact through the Primary Auxiliary Building corridor and double doors.

J l

2.3.5.22 Main Steam System (Section 2.2.23)

The Main Steam System and components are located in the Vapor Container, Turbine Building, and Yard Area. The system is not required in a permanently defueled condition or to support decommissioning activities. This system does not impact Spent Fuel Pit operations.

General decontamination and dismantlement considerations are presented in Section 2.3.4.3. The following are specific system considerations:

No specific considerations.
