It should be noted that in 1978 it was found that our ventilation system sampling proces had de te rio rated and were not sampling isokinetically. New stainless steel probes were aesigned in accordance with ANSI 1-13.1-1969 and velocity measurements taken to assure isokinetic samoling of all ventilation systems. The new proces were ins ta ll ed in late 1978 and air velocities adjustea early in 1979. In accition, License sam-10o7 was amended in Decemoer 1979 to allow an increase in the maximum enrichment from 3.5 to 4.1% U235, reflecting the higher enrichments scheduled for the next 10 years. Therefore, the'airoorne releases listed for 197o-1978 are not indicative of normal plant operations. The airborne release cata for 19 79 and 1980 ce tter reflect releases from normal operations.

In all cases, the probability of a major accident was found to be extremely low. This low probability is derived from the fact that: 1) all process equioment is designed to incorporate permaneltly engineered safeguardst 2) strict administrative control of production processes is maintained: 3) the double contingency principle ~ is adhered to in the preparation of safety evaluations: and 4) ("') generous safety factors are included in all v,.. facility limits.

r~s (_) Emergency Alert General Alert None (off-site im-pact from General Alerts.which are reclassified into Alert or Site Area Emergencies are described above) Analysis of Postulated incidents Havina Off-site Imoact Criticality Accident Since the amount of U-235 on site is greater than the minimum mass necessary to achieve criticality, it is necessary to consider the possibility of a criticality incident. While such an accident is theoretically

possible, it is highly unlikely because of the administrative and.

cperational controls established by C-E over the receipt, use and storage of enriched uranium. In the history of the low enricheo fuel fabrication industry, there never has been a criticality accident associated with f uel praparation or (~} . fabrication. There have been four \\.y criticality accidents in high enriched scrap . recovery operations, but all of these involved wet enemical processing. The operations performed on the Windsor site do not involve wet chemical processing. Fortunately, criticality accidents have occurred so rarely that no statistical analysis of the probability. of such an accident has been a t temp ted. Criticality even ts that have occurred have had no significant environmental impact. Radiation injuries were restricted to individuals directly involved. Fission products were effectively confined to the processing j l building in which the event occurred. Promot evacuation of employees upon a criticality alarm would assure no more than minor radiation doses to all except those in the immediate vicinity of the accident. In es timating the intensity of a criticality

accident, it has been assumed that 1,000,000,000.000,000,000 fissions o ccur prooucing approximately 8,000,000 calories of heat.

nuclear excursion. {} \\- Moderated Uranium Ovida - Encansulated A sufficient quantity of production assemblias, to sustain a nuclear chain reaction when covered with

water, could th eore ticall y, but inadvertently be a ccumula ted.

In the above case, the first spike of the nuclear chain res: tion could exceed 10,000,000,000,000,000 fissions, ejecting the moderating water as s team in a sufficient quantity to render the system subcritical. The release of fission products is not expected because the enriched uranium is encapsulated in zirconium tubing which is designated to withstand a reactor environment. Moderated Uranium Ovide - Unenc9nsulated Unencapsulated enriched uranium such as fuel powder, fuel pellets or fuel sludges could be accumulated, through inadequate administrative con tro ls, in sufficient ) quantities for a criticality accident. x Similar accidents have occurred in the past with high enriched uranium solutions as previously noted. From 1,000,000,000,000,000 fissions could be expected from a single burst releasing fission procucts. The fission products which could be released l would combine to yield maximum of f-site doses of Whole Body Dose 1.184 RAD Thyroid Dose 2.93 RAD (Calculated in accordance with NRC Regulatory Guide 3.34) Major Airborne Particulate Releases A major airborne radioactive particulate release is again highly improbable because of the High Ef f iciency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filters utilized at C-E NFM-d (99.97% efficient).

(3 any release. Any release that would result n_/ in a concentration of airborne

UO2, greater

'i than 50% of MPCa for insoluble U-235 in a twenty-four period at the site boundary will be considered significant and the State of Connecticut, Office of Civil Preparedness shall then be notified. A person standing at the site boundary continuously (24 hr/ day in a concentration equal to 1.0 MPCa (General Population) after i year will receive a dose of approximately 0.50 rem. This notification level used by C-E NFM-W is a f actor of 1000 less than the NHC notification level recuired by 10 CFR Part 20. However, because of C-E NFM-d's continued low annual airborne effluent release

rates, airborne levels exceeding 50% of MPCa at the site boundary would indicate a significant increase above normal operating conditions and notification of state egencies is viewed to be appropriate.

A release of this magnitude is insignificant f rom a radiological safety s tandpoin t, but is used to mitigate the consequences of a potentially large release. Worst Case Scenario rS Jn) The emergency plan scenario chosen was an accidental criticality excursion. This scenario was chosen because it is the only accident that could occur at C-E NFM-4 that has a potential for any significant off-site impact. The emergency plan scenario is based on the following: The postulated accident occurs in the powder processing area of the nuclear f uel manuf acturing facility, the area in which low enriched U02 in powder form is pressed into pellets (UO2 in powder form has the greatest potential of being brought to the conditions required for an accicental criticali ty to occur). The following conditions would have to occur simultaneously: 1) A violation of criticality mass limits by a factor of 2.3 (a safety factor of 2.3 is incorporated in all mass limits). 2) The accidental introduction of a large quantity of water to the aoove mass of UO2 powder to bring it to optimum moderation conditions. , () 3) The assembly of the powder and water Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page 2-11

mixture into an optimum ' geometrical (} configuration. A burst of s" 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fissions is 1 then assumed to occur. This is equivalent to a release of about 32 megawa tt. seconds, which is a much larger excursion than could be expected in any system in a low. enriched fuel fabrication facility. To cause an excursion of this magnitude, a very rapid increase in reactivity would be required, which is not credible in the systems in this facility. Radiation injuries would be restricted to individuals directly involved and personnel within a 10-20 foot radius of the accident. Prompt evacuation of employees by an automatic criticality alarm system would result in minor radiation doses to all except those in the immediate vicinity of the accident. Whole Rody cloud Oose The distance. to the nearest resident (~ bordering the C-E Windsor site is o40. meters. A-} The atmospheric conditions assumed for this r accident were very conservatively chosen to be Pasquill Type F with a windspeed of I meter per second blowing directly toward the home of the nearest resident. If 50% atmospheric condition information was available for the site, the calculated dose would be decreased by at le as t. an order of magnitude. The dose was calculated assuming a semi-infinite . cloud surrounding the individual with a radioisotope concentration equivalent to the center line of the plume. Since the Pasquill Type F atmospheric stability condition produces a very sma ll l plume, the dose is over-es timated by about a factor of 8 as a resul.t of the semi-infinite cloud assumption. In the calculation of the cloud gamma anc beta dose, credit was taken for the celay time between the time of criticality and the arrival of the cloud at the nearest site boundary. This delay is c ompos ed of two ("] components. One is the delay in the Fuel N' Fabrication Building and the other is the Revision 2 D.a t e 5/21/82 Page: 2-12

transit time from the building to the nearest r') (-3 residence. The delay in the building was done assuming the volatile fission products were instantly mixed within the pellet shop volume of 291.000 ft3. It was assumed that 19,331 ft3 of the building

volume, which is equivalent to 30 seconds flow through the ventilation system, was discharged with no

_ delay of the fission products. The doses at the site boundary were. calculated for this release. The next 19,331 ft3 volume was delayed for 30 seconds and the doses at the site boundary calculated. This same procedure was followed until the entire building volume was released. The doses from each 30 second release was added to determine the total dose from the cloud. This method of calculating has two conservative assumptions - 1) no delay is assumed during each 30 second release, and 2) no further dilu. tion of the fission products in the building is assumed for each release. The other areas of the Fuel Fabrication Building have no forced external ventilation so the delay time would be substantially longer. The delay af ter release is 9.3 minutes based (") on the transit time of the cloud moving at I (/ meter per second for 560 meters. The only other credit taken was the wake effect of the building. which is only 1.5 This is based on the minimum external area of the Fuel Fabrication Building which is 334 square me.ters. The resulting whole body and body surface dose from the cloud as well as the prompt gamma and neutron dose are shown in the table 3-1. Brgnt Gemn and Nootron Oose The prompt gamma and neutron dose was calculated f or the nearest residence using the method shown in Regulatory Guide 3.34 dated July 1979. 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fissions were assumed for the criticality accident and the distances were 560 and 700 meters for the nearest site boundary and resident, respectively. No credit was taken for structural attenuation. Thyroid Oose (~) The doses to the thyroid f rom the inhalation of radioactive iodine were calculated for the Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 2-13

The results are '~' shown in the table 3.1. This source assumes 50% release from the fuel and 50% p l a te-ou t inside the Fuel Fabrication Facility. The same atmospheric conditions were used to calculate the concentration of iodine as used in the whole body dose calculations. It was assumed that the breathing rate was 0.0000000000000347 cubic meters per second which is the breathing rate characteristic of the active portion of the normal work day. No decay was assumed for the transit time from Building

Naturally Occurrinc Phenomana Accidents of this type are the. naturally occurring events such as f looding, wind damage, tornados and earthquakes. Flooding is not considered credible because the high water level for the area's worst flood l (August 1955) was approximately 110 feet above mean sea level. Since the Windsor site is located approximately 180 feet above mean sea level, the probability of direct damage resulting from local flood is very low. The average hourly wind speed for 1979 was 3.8 mile s per hour. The prevailing wind direction for o months, May to October is l south and for the 6 mo n ths, November to

April, is northwest.

The average wind velocity at the Windsor site is 11.2 miles per hour. The highest recorded velocity was 70 miles per hour in November 1950. The buildings on the Wincsor plant site are ("} designed to withstand steady wind levels on ks the order of 100 miles per hour. The tornado I Revision 2 Date 5/21/82 Page: 2-14

hazard probability for this region is () 0.000001 for a tornado with winds ranging k from 140 MPH to 239 MPH. This means that in any one year there is a.1 in I,000,000 chance of a tornado of this size affecting the C-E Windsor site. The Windsor plant site lies in a region classified as Zone I, corresponding to Intensity VI on the modif ied Mercalli . scale of 1931. The plant is s tructurally adequate f or Zone 2 earthquake loads which are more severe than Zone 1. It is evident from the above that there is a very low probability of release of radioactivity from the facility by Class 6 accidents. Accidents at Neichenrinc Activities A neighboring activity, the General Electric Co., Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory, located Ln Sector 2, Figure 1-4, could have an accident tha.t would impact on the Windsor site. In the event of such an accident, the Windsor Site Emergency Plan would be activated. () 2.1.3.2 confinement Barriors and Svstams .This section contains detailed descriptions of all operations in the manufacturing facility dealing with confinement barriers and systems ( Buildings

  1. 17 and
  2. 21).

Sufficient detail is provided to permit an independent verification of the adequacy of i the controls for the purpose of assuring safe operations. In certain operations, the intricacies of the equipment require further analysis, which is provided herein. Details of specific calculations used to support various aspects of the analysis are discussed in this section. UO2 Powder Procassinc Vircin Powdar Storana Araa The virgin powder storage area is isolated from the remainder of the plant on all sides by concrete block walls, a double steel roof, f), and a metal fire door. This door is normally ( in the open position, and is automatically Revision 2 Date: 5 /21 /82 Paget 2-15

1 t'S closed upon activation of the fire alarm, and \\_/ on failure of electrical power. The automatic closing f eature of this door shall be verified quarterly and records of its performance shall be maintained. These engineered safety features are considered adequate to prevent the Lntroduction of water in the event of a fire. This area will be kept free of combustibles, and is located such that there are no potentially hazardous items such as boilers in the vicinity of the area. An ammonia cracker is housed in a concrete block building which is located some 25 feet northwest of Building #17. In view of its many redundant safety

features, it is not

/ viewed as a potentially hazardous item. Criticality Safety Analvsis The following conservative assumptions were incorporated into the calculational model of the virgin powder storage area: 1) All steel structural materials were neglected. p(j g 2) The fuel was assumed to be a homogeneous mixture of UO2 containing 7.0 wt% H20, 3) All storage positions were filled and each individual can was assumed to be full. 4) Effects of interspersed water moderation and flooding were not addressed. l The K ENO-I V Code with sixteen group Hansen-Hoach cross sections was used to determine the reactivity of the virgin powder storage area under the conditions noted above. A keff of 0.9338 1 0.0077 was obtainec for an infinite system in the horizontal direction. Powder Preoaration and Blendino UO2 powder f rom one sealed batch container (moderation control assured) is transferred to a blender where it is mixed with a binder. Two separate blenders feed a common powder spread funnel by means of incividual powcer transfer pipes entering at a 45 degree angle. An identical powder preparation line runs parallel to this one at a centerline distance O. 5 of 13 feet. Hevision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page 2-16

() The blending operation is enclosed in a ventilated hood. Sufficient negative pressure is provided to assure a minimum f ace velocity of 100 fpm. Drvino Agglomerated UO2 powder is spread onto the dryer belt from the powder spread f unnel to a controlled depth of 1/2". A complete enclosure is provided around the dryer belt assembly and this enclosure is maintained at a slight negative pressure. The discharge end of the dryer belt utilizes a wiper blade to prevent the flow of significant amounts of material to the plenum under the belt. Nevertheless, the wiper blade and plenum shall be inspected once per week to assure that the wiper blade,is f unctioning properly and no fuel is accumulating in the plenum below the belt. Records of these inspections are maintained. The belt dryer operates on a 1/2" slab limit. (The criticality safety analysis also assumed an accidental accumulation of up to 1/2" of powder under fS the dryer belt in the event of malfunction of (m/ the wiper blade). The safety of the dryer assembly is assured by this restricted slab thickness. The dryer heater controls are wired to the motor control such that the dryer belt cannot be activated unless the heaters are turned on, and to stop the belt under conditions of high heat (high heat automatically shuts off the heating elements). Granulation Dried oxide is gravity-f ed into a granulator where it is sized for subsecuent pressing. The granulated powder is then g ravi ty-f ed through a discharge funnel ending in a 2 inch square opening. A short adapter of a 2 inch circular cross section is welded to the funnel to allow connection of 2" diameter hose which is then connected to a portaole hopper below. A complete enclosure is proviced around the granulator. It is maintained at a negative pressure to preclude dusting. ) Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 2-17

l criticality Safatv Analvsis The powder blending, drying, and granulation stations were divided into two parts for calculational purposes: the back end of the station included the

blenders, the powder transfer pipes leading to the powder spread f unnel, and the first 10 feet of the 30" wide dryer belt.

The spread funnel is fixed in position to restrict the powder discharge from it to a 24" wide by 1/2" deep layer of U02. The following conservative assumptions were incorporated. into the calculational model of the bac k end. 1) The blender hoods are restricted to 35 Kg UO2 per station. It was assumed that this mass of UO2 was located at the base of each blender hood directly above each powder transfer pipe. 2) It was assumed that the above masses were hemis phe ri cal in

shape, and were at optimum moderation and maximum enrichment (4.1 wt.% U-235).

The rad ii of these hemispheres varies as a function of the (,'; assumed concentration of UO2 in water in i ' order to maintain a fixed mass of 35 Kg UO2 in each. 3) Although the belt dryer is limited to 1/2" of UO2 powder, the model allows for an accidental accumulation of 1/2" under the dryer belt in the event of malfunction of the wiper olade. l 4) The powder transfer pipes anc powcer i spread funnel were assumea to ce fi lled to capacity with UO2 at optimum moderation and maximum enrichment (4.1 wt.% U-235). 1 5) An infinite array of stations was analyzed although there are only - 2 parallel stations. 1 Sixteen group Hansen-doa ch cross sections were used in K E.NO -I V to determine tne reactivity of the system under various conditions. Optimum moceration (assuming no external mist) occurred at a fuel concentration of 0.8 gm u/cc in water (very l [,) undermecerated system initially). Variable l density external water mist was then l Hevision 2 Date 6/21/92 Page 2-18

introduced.to determine peak reactivity of p/ the system. The. highest keff of 0.8698 2 g s. O.0103 occurred for the full' flood case although a secondary peak of 0.7565 0.0077 was found at 0.025 gm/cc interspersed water moderation. As this system was initially undermoderated, it was difficult to determine whether the large amount of water necessary to bring the system to peak reactivity was a result of the large amount in troduc ed into the fuel directly (0.8 gm U/cc in water) or the result of full density external water introduced in the flooded case. As a final check, the fuel concentration in water (gm U/cc) was varied while holding the external . moderation condition at f ull flood. A peak reactivity of 0.8684 k 0.0101 was obtained at a fuel concentration of 1.2 gm u/cc in water, although the reactivities of the other cases resulted in statistical

overlap, and were therefore essentially of the same magnitude.

The conclusion drawn from the above analysis is tha t peak reactivity for this system occurred as a result of external flooding and reflection rather than by optimization of the fuel concentration in the various individual <~ f uel-bearing components of the sys tem, h'T The front end of the station included the last 10 feet of the 30" wide dryer belt, the granulator, the discharge funnel and

hose, and a cylindrical press ' f eed hooper.

Two different hoppers are available for use depending on the enrichment being processed. For 53.5 wt.% U-235, an 11"

diameter, 40" long cylindrical hopper with a conical top is used.

For enrichments up to 4.1 wt.% U-235, a 10.5", 17.7" long cylindrical hopper (safe volume) with a flat top is used. The longer hoppers will be stored under lock and key prior to the start of processing of any enrichment greater than 3.5 wt.% U-235. Reactivity calculations were performed at the maximum allowable enrichment for each case. The following conservative assumptions were incorporated into the calculational models of the front ends I) All system components except for the dryer belt were assumed to be filled to capacity with UO2 at optimum moderation and maximum enrichment (3.5 or 4.1 wt.% U-235). [} 1 Revision 2 Dates 5/21/82 Page 2-19

2) Although the belt dryer is limited to r-)x 1/2" of UO2 powder, the model allows for (_ an accidental accumulation of 1/2" under the dryer belt in the event of malfunction of the wiper blade. 3) An infinite array of stations was analyzed although there are only 2 parallel stations. Sixteen group Hans en-Hoach cross sections were used in KENO-I V to determine the reactivity of the system under various conditions. For the first case, the system was analyzed at 4.1 wt.% U-235 with the 10.5"

diameter, 17.7" long press feed hopper.

Optimum moderation (assuming no external mi.s t ) occurred at a fuel concentration of 1.8 gm U/cc in water. Variable density external water mist was then introduced to determine peak ' reactivity of the system with the 10.5" hopper. The highest keff of 0.9386 0.0075 occurred for the full flood case. For the second case, the system was analyzed at 3.5 wt.% U-235 with the 11" diameter, 40" long press feed hopper. The maximum keff in S (f the absence of external water mist occurred at 2.2 gm U/cc in water. This result was derived from calculations at 2.0, 2.2, and 2.4 gm U/cc with associated keff values of 0.800 0.010, 0.833 0.014 r es pec tively. Variable density external water mist was then Lntroduced to' determine peak reactivity of the system with the 11" hopper. The highest keff of 0.934 0.17 occurred for the full flood case.. This result was derived from calculations at 0.001, 0.05, 0.10, anc 1.0 gm/cc of H2O with associated kett values of 0.825 1 0.016, 0.821 2 0.020, 0.805 1 0.012, 0.850 2 0.014, and 0.934 2 0.017 respectively. Pressina The press is provided with enclo sures which assure adequate ventilation at the opening , face, and at the junction of the portable hopper with the press.

rs Dewaring and si n ta ri na A& Furnace boats containing green pellets are charged in a single line to a dewaxing furnace and then to a sintering

furnace, where under controlled conditions, the pellets attain the desired properties.

Because the UO2 is in a compacted

form, dusting is minimal, and ventilation is not required.

Hydrogen burn-of f exhaust is vented from the building, and is filtered and monitored. Final Si7ina A complete enclosure is provided around the grinder to preclude the dusting of UO2. The enclosure is maintained at a negative pressure with respect to the room. Scran Reevele All clean scrap is accumulated for reproce ssing and recycle with the feed material. Scrap may be milled to yield (~s desired particle size best suited for the ww) processing, oxidized and reduced to assure removal of volatile additives and to achieve the desired ceramic properties of the resulting recycle UO2, and blended to assure uniformity. The following equipment is included in the pellet shop annext a) Oxidation and Reduction Furnace b) Milling Equipment c) Boildown equipment d) General Purpose dood e) Filter Knockdown Hood f) Stor. age Facilities g) Blender h) Micronizer The furnace is similar in its operation to the furnaces previously described. Although the feed and exit zones of the furnace are not ventilated, sufficient reserve ventilation (approximately 1800 SCFM) exis ts to provide such ventilation if surveys indicate the need. The remaining operations except blending, are r^g all carried out in hooos with sufficient (_) ventilation to assure a face velocity of 100 fpm. Revision 2 Date 5 /21 /82 Page: 2-21

(~%. h' Concrete Block Storace Area for Reevele Materials '~ A concrete block storage area is provided for recycle materials. This storage area is intended for volume limited SIUs and has a maximum height of 7 feet. The blocks are of solid 10" thick concrete, having a minimum density of 125 lb/ft3. Mortar. is used to ' Join the blocks and to secure the structure to the building wall. Steel shelves, of at least 10 ga. thickness are built into the struc.ture with a vertical spacing of at least 16 inches. Each storage position measures 16" wide x 14" deep, and is lined on three sides with 1/4" thick mild steel. The criticality saf ety analysis demonstrates that the spacing boundary can be located 48 inches from the front of the shelves. All pellets are contained in 3-l/2 gallon or smaller containers 1 homogeneous UO2 is contained in 5 gallon or smaller containers. Criticality Safety Analysis (} The following conservative assumptions were h, incorporated into the calculational model of the concrete block storage area: 1) Each storage position was assumed to contain a 5-gallon poly bucket tilled with UO2 at optimum moderation and maximum enrichment (4.1 wt.% U-235). 2) The system was assumed to be infinite in the horizontal plane. 3) Variable density external water mist was introduced to determine peak reactivity of the system. The KENO-IV Code with 16 group Hansen-Roach cross sections was used to determine the reactivity of the concrete block storage area under various conditions of moderation. Optimum moderation of the fuel occurred at a concentration of 2.5 gm U/cc in water assuming no external water mist. The peak reactivity of the system, keff 0.9207 3 = 0.0081, occurred at an external water mist density of 0.7S gm/cc. Dimensional details (~) of the calculational model are shown in \\- Figure 2-3.

Hod Loading and Assambiv Cabricatinn Pellet Stackino Pellets from the pellet. f abrication f acility, or from outside vendors are placed on a downdraft table where they are aligned for rod loading. On the

table, the pellet configuration is limited to a 3.7 inch slab thic kne ss.

The UO2 pellets are placed on troughs before being loaded into rods. Rod Loading and Puel Rod Transnort Parts Pellets are. transf erred from the stacking troughs into rods. The loaded rods are placed into carts each of which can hold up to 250 fuel rods in parallel sleeves which are spaced on four rings in an annular fixture with an I.D. of a pproximately 10 inches and an 0.D. of approximately 22 inches. Guard rails prevent the carts from coming any closer than three feet center to center. The carts are used in normally dry areas to transfer the rods to operations which include end plug. welding, weld and (~/) .deflashing. These operations are performed g ( on one rod at a time. Rods are immediate ly returned to the cart after each step is completed. Finished rods are fluoroscoped and are checked for enrichment with a slab limit of 3.7 inches. Cr i t ic a l i ty Safety Analysis The following conservative assumptions were incorporated into the calculational model of the fuel rod carts: 1) Only the 1/4 inch thick, 4" 0.0. inner steel cylindrical annulus was accounted for in the model. All other steel construction material was neglected. 2) The carts were assumed to be infinitely long and spaced 36

inches, center-to-center to form an infinite array in the horizontal plane.

3) The fuel rods are contained in 1/2

inch, Sch 40 P VC tubes, each 134 inches long.

fi, There are 250 tubes arranged in 4 concentric rings with an avera e pitch of s-j Hevision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 2-23 l l

-s I.18361 inches. The fuel tube region of () the cart is thus a cylindrical annulus beginning at 4" from the centerline of the cart and extending to a radius of 7.312 inches. In the calculational

model, it was assumed that all 250 positions were occupied by the largest diame ter rods (.3765-a 0.D. UO2 pellets at 10.03 gm/cc stacked density with a

Zr-4 cladding thickness of.028 inch) at the maximum enrichment (4.1 wt. % U-235). Fuel Dod Storace Area The multi-level storage area for boxes for fuel rods consists of up to 10 tiers of 32 loca tions each. The steel fuel rod boxes have a maximum length of 14'14 and an inside width and depth of 8 inches and 5-3/8 inches respectively. A vertical spacing of 12-1/2 inches oetween boxes is maintained, the first tier being 18-inches above the concrete floor. Lateral spacing is restricted by physical barriers to a minimum of 4 inches. The rod ooxes rest on roller conveyors to facilitate. movement in and out of the storage array and are held in place by a fixed brace fs(j at the back end. The roof of the storage rack consists of corrugated fiberglass on a 3% pitch to assure adequate drainage to the floor. Water fire fighting is not permitted in this area and is controlled by the 24-hour security personnel stationed in the Building

  1. 17 guard house.

Moderation control is thus assured under all cond itions. Water accumulation in the vicinity of the storage rack is not considered credible in view of the close proximity of an open eculpment pit in the floor which is 30 f eet x 60 f eet x 18 feet deep. A 3 foot deep sump at the bottom of the pit is equipped with a level detector which ac tiva tes a pump to transfer any accumulated water to the industrial sewer system. Criticality Safetv Analvsis The following conservative assumotions were incorporated into the calculational model of the f uel rod storage areas (f I) 'The fuel rods, if in a tightly packed Revision 2 Date 5/21/82 Page: 2-24 l t

hexagonal array, would result in over 300 73( ) rods in each box. An infinite array of boxes in the horizontal plane was assumed. The fuel was homogenized over the volumelof the box and was assumed to be dry. 2) All rod boxes were assumed to be filled to capacity at maximum enrichment ( 4.1 wt.% U-235). The smallest diameter rods (0.382. inch) were used to obtain maximum fuel loading. The Zr-4 cladding (0.025 inch thickness) was homogenized with the fuel. 3) A lateral separation dis tanc e of 3.5 inches between rod boxes was assumed. Interspersed moderation was not considered credible since moderation control is assured by the design of the storag e area. 4) All steel construction material was neglected. Si A 15 tier array was analyzed although a maximum of 10 shall be permitted. The lo group Hansen-Roach cross sections were used in KENO-IV to determine reactivity of the system under the conditions noted above. A keff of 0.7994. 1 0.0050 was obtained for a 15 tier infinite array. A second calculation of a finite 15 tier array with 16 inch concrete reflectors on all sides yielded a keff of 0.7372 1 0.0045. Double Shelf Red Storaca Racks The double shelf storage racks for fuel rods hold a maximum of 12 steel boxed identical in all respects to those in the multi-tier array described above. Each box is equipped with a tight-fitting aluminum cover which overlaps the outside edge of the box by a minimum of one inch. One box may remain uncovereo for short periods of time to allow for the addition or removal of rods for inspection purposes provided that personnel are in attendance. Spacing between boxes in both a vertical and horizontal direction is a minimum of 6 inches.

considered to be present in an infinite array h(/ s in the horizontal plane. The following conservative assumptions were incorporated into the calculational model of the double shelf fuel rod storage racks: 1 )- The f uel rods, if in a tightly packed hexagonal array, would result in over 300 rods Ln each box., The rac ks permit storage of 12 boxes each (6 in the vertical direction) and an infinite array of storage racks was assumed in the horizontal plane. The fuel was homogenized over the volume of the box and was assumed to be dry. 2) All rod boxes were assumed to be filled to capacity at maximum enrichment (4.1 w t. % U-2 35 ). The smallest diameter rods (0.382 inch) were used to obtain maximum fuel loading. The Zr-4 cladding (0.025 inch thickness) was homogenized with the fuel. 3) All steel cons truc. tion material was neglected, -} v 4) Variable density external water mist was introduced to determine peak reactivity of the system under optimum conditions. The sixteen group Hansen-Roach cross sections were used in KENO-IV to determine reactivity of the system under the conditions noted above. The highest keff of 0.8886 0.0070 was obtained at an external mist density of 0.06 gm H20/cc. Fuel Assembly Fabrication Fuel rods are loaded into the assembly l skeleton in a fixture which provides a j lubricating water spray. These fixtures are designed to assure that water ca nnot be re tained. .Nevertheless, safety for this operation has been established with full moderation and re fle ct ion. Criticality safety calculations for a 16 x 16 flooded l i fuel assembly with a 12 inch water ref le ctor l were performed using the K ENO-I V computer l code with 4 group CEPAK cross sections for the fuel region, water

holes, and external C_4

conservatively omitted. A maximum keff of f-) ((_j 0.8817 2 0.0049 was obtained. In-Plant Storane of Cuel Assemolies Fuel assemolies are stored in a vertical position using racks of adequate strength to preclude loss of the design spacing. The assemblies in the. storage positions only shall be wrapped with polyethylene with the bottom ends open to assure free drainage. Within the same

room, (but at greater separation distances) there are two horizontal loading tables where the fuel rods are initially loaded into the assembly skeletons, a vertical wash tan k where the assemblies receive a

final. demineralized water rinse, two fixed vertical inspection stands equipped with elevator platforms to allow final 0.C. dimensional

checks, and a

marked floor area where the assemblies are loaded into shipping containers prior to outdoor storage. Each of these stations is physically limited to one fuel assembly except the shipping container which holds two. () 1) A,19 x 34 array of assemblies was modeled at a 10 inch center-to-center spacing of fuel assemblies within the double rows. The distance between tags of fuel assemblies within any given double rack is 35 inches center-to-center while the aisle between the double racks is 37 inches ( c e n t e r-to-c en te r ). This calculational array effectively brings the 25 additional assemblies closer together and provides greater interaction with the 440 assemblies in the storage area than is actually possible. 2) All steel construction material was neglec ted. 3) Variable density water mist was introduced within and between the assemblies to determine the reactivity of the system under various degrees of water moderation. 4) Four group cross sections were generated using the CEPAK Coce f or the 3 regions of the assemblies: fuel

region, water 7-)i

(_ holes, and external' water mis t between Revision 2 Date 5/21/82 Page: 2-27

assemblies. These 3 regions were then p). smeared over the entire array using the p ', DOT code to obtain one set of four group flux-weighted la ttice cross sections. 5) Four group cross sections were also generated using the CEPAK Code for the 8" concrete walls, 10" concrete

floor, and the external water mist between the fuel assembly array and the ceiling and walls.

The ceiling was considered to be 8 inch thick

concrete, though 4

inches is usually assumed. The 4 group cross section sse ts described above were then used in KENO-IV to determine the reactivity of.the fuel assembly storage area under the above noted conditions for the most reactive assemblies (the 10 x 16 type). The analysis indicates that the margin of criticality safety is acceptacle for water mist densities up to.03 gm/cc, (keff <0.95) which is far greater than tha t attainable from the assembly room sprinkler system. As a final check in demonstrating that one (_,g3 set of four group flux-weighted lattice cross sections represented the entire fuel region in a. conservative

manner, the following calculations were performed 2 A 16 x 12 array of f uel assemblies with 0.035 gm H20/cc mist was modeled at the design spacing with a

tight-fitting 16" concrete reflector (infinitely high assemblies) us ing cross sections for both a heterogeneous case (discrete fuel assembly and mist regions) and a homogeneous case (all assemblies and mist smeared" over the entire array between them a of assemblies as was done for all previous calculations). The homogeneous case (keff = 0.9507 .0032) was shown to be conservative by 3% (the heterogeneous case yielded a keff of 0.9208 0042).

Thus, the conservatism in using the flux-weighted la ttice cross sections is demonstrated.

The local fire departments have been instructed to use only dry chemical extinguishing methods in the fuel assemoly storage room and the pellet shop. Signs restricting fire fighting in this area to cry f~y chemical methods only have been posted at \\_/ each entrance to the assembly storage room. Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page 2-28

There is only one vehicle access gate to the () fuel f abrication f acility which is controlled by_a security guard 24 hours a day. He has instructions to prohibit firemen from using fire hoses in the above described restricted areas. Thus, criticality safety is assured under all credible conditions of moderation. 2.1.'3.3 Access and cerass of Oneratino oersonnel and Emercency Resnonse Teams See Sections 3.0 and 4.0 for details.

Q4Cu2at ion a l R ad i a tion cynosures Due to the extremely low levels of penetrating radiation which exist at Combustion Engineering's fuel f abrication f acility (<5 mr/hr), the greatest emphasis in exposure control has. been directed towards minimizing inges tion of airborne uranium particulates. To this end,- C-E has always maintained internal exposures as low as reasonably achievable through the use of ventilated hoods and process containment and an extensive breathing zone (BZ) air sampling program. General air samplers are strategically placed through .the facility to provide ind ications of airborne activity levels and are analyzed three times per day. A bica'ssay program which includes periodic urinalysis and in-vivo counting has been providing information regarding internal deposition of radioactive materials for over 10 . years and confirms Combustion Engineering's long standing commitment to the ALARA Concept. External Radiation Evrosures There has not been a single instance throughout the history of license SNM 1067 which has resulted in any O-individual exceeding the 10 CFR 20 quarterly limit of 1.25 rem. Internal R ad i a t ion Cynosures The most accurate results concerning actual internal deposition of radio-nuclides are found in bioassay results. The accuracy of these results far exceeds the accuracy obtained from personnel breathing zone air samples (BZ's), since BZ samples serve only as an immediate aid in assessing internal exposure potential and do not conclusively indica te that the material was actually ingested. During the past 3 years, all urinalysis results were less than I microgram U/ liter (the lower limit of detection for our fluorimetric method of analysis) with 3 exceptions in 1978 where 3 individuals' results were 2, 3, and 4 micrograms U/ liter respectively. In-vivo lung counting results over the past 10 years clearly indicate that no individual has ever received a maximum permissible lung burden MPLB) which is about 200ugm U-235 for low enriched uranium. Due to the extreme sensitivity required to detect such low fg amounts of U-235, mos t results are reported as zero u (_) with a statistical accuracy associated with them.

Air sampling shall be accomplished using fixed-location (general air) samplers and personnel breathing zone (BZ) samplers for basic evaluation of the internal exposure of workers, for supportive measurements, and for special studies. During the normal operations period, if a single air sampling station indicates the airborne concentration of radioactivity for that area exceeds one MPC level as specif ied in Table I Column I of 10 CFR 20, Appendix B, an investigation as to the cause shall be conducted. Any necessary corrective actions to 7e (_)j) prevent its recurrence shall be taken and documented. The fixed location general air samplers shall have a minimum flow of 10 liters / minute and the personnel breathing zone samplers shall have a minimum flow of 1400 cc/ min. The personnel breathing zone samplers shall be the primary means of determining radioactive airborne concentrations of particulates in the workers breathing zone. Breathing zone (BZ) samples will be taken for the first two weeks of a new operation or significant change in operation, involving unclad

UO2, with sampling carried out 100% of the time during which the operation is carried out.

Thereafter, process operations involving UO2 powder will be surveyed with BZ samplers at least 75% of the time. Operations involving U02 pellets shall be samoled at least 25% of the time. The fixed location samplers are located throughout the shop and run continuously during cperations. These samplers provide air samoles which are representative of working areas in order to verify adequate ventilation and contamination control. All samples will be analyzed for each working shift (after I a 24-hour decay to estaolish a radon-f ree count). If any problems arise, the minimum (BZ) sampling times shall be increased accordingly. 1 Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 2-37 i I l

It is reccgnized that the behavior of individual () operators can be a significant contributing f actor to an individual's exposures, and that this may not be amendable to the desired degree of improvement. Where the individual operator is found to contribute significantly to higher exposures, closer personnel surveillance shall be maintained. Thus, an individual whose 40 hr exposure exceeds 2.5 MPC days shall be continuously monitored with a BZ sampler. If his 40 hr exposure exceeds 4 MPC days, he is removed from exposure to airborne contamination. It is the respons ibility of the licensee to evaluate these situations to determine the relative contributions of individuals and equipment. The pellet shop is the only place in the manuf ac turing facility that handles unclad U02. This portion of the facility is kept at a negative pressure. Therefore, continuous air sampling shall be conducted in this area only. novelonment Decartment (Nuclear Lahnratories) All operations in the laboratories which involve UO2 powder or the potential for worker exposure to airborne uranium exceeding the limits specified in 10 CFR 20.103, shall be sampled with breathing zone 0 samplers 100% of the time. A one MPC action level and a minimum of 1400 cc/ min flow shall be used for laboratory operations. Frternal Execsure (Oosimetrv Pecuirements) Each individual who enters a res tric ted area under such circumstances that he is likely to receive a cose in any calendar quarter in excess of 25 percent of the applicable value specified in 10 CFR 101(a) shall be supplied with a TLD badge and indium foil for purposes of. personnel dosimetry. Badges will be processed monthly. When a high exposure is suspected, the individual's badge will be immediately processed. All visitors will be supplied with indium foil badges. Area TLD badges and neutron foils are also strategically placed throughout the facility for the purpose of recording background radiation levels as well as radiation resulting from a criticality accident. These badges will also be processed monthly during normal operations and immediately following a criticality accident. Procedures to determine high radiation doses immediately following a criticality accident are described in the Emergency Procedures Manual. Revision 2 Date: 5/21 /82 Page: 2-38

( 3.0 cla sses of Radiological contincancias 3.1 Cla ssi f ica tt en Svstem The NHC has issued guidelines for the consideration of accidents in the NEPA reviews of nuclear power reactors. Nine categories of postulated accidents, ranked in order of severity from trivial to very serious, have been identified. In general, accidents in the high potential conse cuenc e end of the ranking have a low probability of occurrence. The NRC has not published guidelines for the consideration of accidents in fuel fabrication plants or related facilities such as the nuclear laboratories. A spectrum of accidents which is possible in connection with the operation of the Windsor f acility has been pos tulated and classified into six categories ranging from minor (Class I) to catastrophic (Class 6). Class I - Minor accidents with no radioactive release within the facililty. Class 2 - Accidents which could release some radioactivity inside the plant but with no release to the environs. () Class 3 - Accidents which could release small amounts of radioactivity outside the plant. Class 4 - Accidents which could release radioactivity. offsite. Class 5 - Radioactive material shipping accident. Class o - Natural Phenomenom Class 1 Accidents Class I accidents may be expected to occur several times in the plant lif etime but the consequences are small. Accidents in this class originate f rom: outage of plant utilities, l eouipment failure and chemical accidents. 1 Facility Pager Outace C-E receives electric power from the Hartf ord Electric Light Company (HELCO) and backup power. is provided for critical services automatically, by means of an onsite diesel power-dr ived alternator. Complete power outages are inf re que n t. Voltage fluctuations of a few cycles duration are fairly frequent and require the use of isolation transformers and buf f ers of various kinds for power supplies, (s^s_) computers, delicate instruments, etc. Fluctuations of longer Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Pages 3-1

open, or f requency fluctuations to af f ect ordinary e quipment rarely occur. In the unlikely event that HELCO power suff ered an outage and the emergency alternator f ailed to pick up its lo ad, all ventilation exhaust systems would 'stop operating. Air pressure in the buildings would equalize with the atmospheric pressure, and any backflow through the exhaust system would be so low that airborne uranium-bearing material would not escape from process hoods. The UO2 processing sections of both Buildings #5 and

  1. 17 are designed to have low air infiltration rates and the HEPA ventilation filters prevent any spills of contamination to the environs through the exhaust system.

Loss of Water Sucolv Water supply to the Windsor site comes f rom a 12" main fed by the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC). In the event of a complete failure of the fire protection supply line a 425,000 gallon supply of water, in two pumped storage

tanks, is maintained at all times for fire fighting purposes.

j In the. event of total water supply failure from some unforesen occurrence, damage .to some of the water-cooled process equipment could occur. There is no water-cooled equipment in the UO2 facilities in which a coolant loss would result in a. release of uranium into working areas or, for that matter, into the environs. Chemica l Accidenis Anhydrous Ammonin - Anhydrous ammonia is stored in two tan ks (8000 gal. & 6000 gal.). The tanks were pressure tested at 250 psi and equipped with dual pressure relief valves. The tanks are mounted on reinforced concrate piers and are located within a fenced area to preclude accidental damage by trucks, f ork lif ts, etc. The exposure of the tanks to an intense fire would result in operation of the relief

valves, designed to bleed overpressure.

The release would cease as the fire was extinguished.. Ammonia vapors could reach high concentrations, but it is felt that the vapors would oe rapidly dispersed and have no permanent effect on personnel or the immediate environment. Liould Nitronen - Liquid nitrogen is stored in a 5000 ga llon insulated tank permanently located on a reinforced concrete pad. The tank is equipped witn dual pressure relief valves which automatically dump nitrogen gas to the atmosphere when the tank pressure reaches 245 psi. The likelihood of a 's significant tank leak is extremely remote. In any

case, nitrogen is nontoxic and nonflammable.

Liquid nitrogen Hevision 2 Date 5/21/82 Pages 3-2

s evaporates.upon exposure to the atmosphere and is quickly ,_) dissipated into the environment.

s..e Linuid Prenana - Liquid propane is stored in a

1500 gallon tank. The tank is designed for a safe working pressure of 250 psi, and is equipped with a saf ety relief valve set at 250 psi. The tank is located on reinforced concrete piers designed for that purpose and is located inside a

paved, fenced area to preclude the possibility of damage by
trucks, fork lifts, etc.

The chance of a significant leak o ccu rring is extremely low. Liquid propane is readily volatilized to a gas upon exposure to ambient conditions and is dissipated into the atmosphere. Propane is highly flammable and this would present a fire hazard should a large leak occur. The fire, however, would be restric ted to the immediate vicinity of the tank and no significant environmental effect would be caused. Scent Acid - Spent acid solution is stored in a 2000 gallon stainless steel tank. The tank sits on a concrete pad and is located away from the general traf fic flow of the building to prevent accidental damage by a truck or fork lif t. The tank is emptied periodically by a licensed trucking concern and transported to an EPA-approved disposal f acility. Nitric Acid - Liquid nitric acid is stored in a 5000 gallon stainless steel tank. The tank sits on a concrete pad and is m ) located away f rom the general traffic flow of the building to prevent accidental damage by a truck or fork lif t. In the 10 years that the tank has been in use it has not suff ered damage of any type nor has there been any leakage of nitric acid to the environment. Changes in fuel rod production processes have reduced use of the material to a point where a large storage capacity is no longer required. In the near future, this tank will be removed and all future shipments of nitric acid will be received in 3 0-ga llo n stainless steel l casks. The acid will be stored in these casks until the l material is to be introduced into the production process. Class 2 Accidents Accidents in Class 2 have lower probabilities of occurrences, l are less frequent than Class I accidents and result in the release of radioactive materials to secondary confinement with no release to the environment. The consequences of a Class 2 event might require operational downtime to make repairs or to replace damaged equipment anc effect decontamination within plant structures. The risk is acceptably sma ll because of design considerations which provide engineered safety features such as the multiple high efficiency particulate filters and redundant plant s erv ic es to achieve reliaoility. I Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 3-3

Accidents in this class originate f rom a detected spills of 3 g_<) uranium-bea ring ma te rials, undetected spills of uranium-bearing materials, and minor tires involving fuel. Detected Scills of Uranibm-Bearinc Vaterials Spills of uranium-bearing materials are considered readily handled incidents. The main requirement would be detection, containment and immediate cleanup. In all such

cases, the gross quantity of material would be cleaned up and the area surveyed to be sure cleanup was complete.

Standard health physics procedures would be followed to prevent and/or evaluate any personnel exposures. These procedures include notification of Health

Physics, immediate monitoring, issuance of respiratory protection, if required, removal and analysis of air samples taken in breathing zones curing cleanup operations, followed by completion of the decontamination and personnel decontamination as needed.

Spills of uranium would release small amounts of uranium to the working area but should not result in a significant release of uranium to the environs since the HEPA filtration system would filter out all but 0.1 percent of the uranium. Spills in this class which are defined as immedia tely detected and cleaned up, have only small potential for even minor injury to employees or damage to the environment. Undetected Snills of Uranium-Bearinc vatarials -) ,J For undetected solid or li quid spills of ur an ium-be aring materials, a maximum of 8 hours would elapse before such a spill would be detected. This time period is based on the frequency of the surveys conducted in the facilities. Prior to the end of each work day (or shift change) a survey of. a ll control areas is conducted. Contamination could spread to uncontrolled areas of the building, but would be detected before it could be spread to the outside environment. It should be noted tha t this is a worst case incident and assumes that the personnel involved in the incident ignored the monitoring devices installed at the exits of a ll controlled

areas, and in
addition, failed to obs erve protective clothing re qui remen ts.

Because personnel practices require clothing change and personal cleaning .before leaving the control area, none or the contamination is expected to be tracked out to the environs. Minor Fire Involvino Uranium-Bearina Materials Minor fires involving uranium-bearing materials could release airborne uranium inside the building, but release of uranium to the environs is improbable because of the HEPA filtration

system, the size or the
building, the availability of portable fire extinguishing equipment, the extensive (S

sprinkler system, and the training of personnel in fire s_) protection. Airborne uranium released within the building as Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Pages 3-4

... ~. (3 a result of a fire would be handled in the manner indicated (;! for detected spills. Class 3 Accidents Class 3 accidents ' include a fire or explosion. Accidents of this type have a very low probability of o ccurring, but may result in the release of some radioactivity to the immediate vicinity of the plant environs. The probability of a fire with release of radioactivity from either Building

  1. 5 or
  2. 17 has been minimized through carefully engineered safeguards, strict control of combustible materials, and protective measures to control a

fire it it does occur. The safeguards that will protect against fire include extensive sprinkler systems, f ed through an 8" loop and augmented by a 425,000 gallon storage tank with bac kup pumping capability. External fire hydrants are provided as backup for properly located portable fire extinguishers within the buildings. In addition, a constant liaison is maintai.ned with the local fire departments. Potential Sources of Cire or Fynlosien Flammable Solvents - Acetone and alcohol are contained in I gallon safety cans equipped with flame arrestors. Solvents are stored in grounded drums located outside the buildings. 71rennium Fines - Zirconium used for fuel encapsulation is machined, forming.. chips and fines. Administratiive controls limit the accumulation of chips and other fines to 5 pounds or less at a machine location. The chips are covered with water at all times while they are stored at each machine lo ca' tion. The chip material is collected periodically and placed in 55 gallon drums which are sealed and shipped,to a zirconium supplier where they are recycled into product. Nitric Acid - Nitric Acid is used in pickling operations. The combination of nitric acid and organic materials forms l highly comoustible substances such as nitrocellulose. Organic materials are kept well separated f rom nitric acid. Hydrogen is used as a reducing e alosion Mvdrocen v l atmospnere in the sintering furnaces. In case of power l failure, loss of exhaust f ans, or excessive temperatures, the l flow of hydrogen gas is cut off. Past experience has oemonstrated that sintering furnace explosions may occur due to the presence of oxygen during furnace startup as a result of incomplete air purge. Preven ta tive measures include burnoff of waste hydrogen gas, au toma tic sprinkler

system, continuous personnel training, and a.vailability of cortable fire fighting equipment.

Erninsinn in Sinterinn Fornaca An explosion of the magnitude postulated for this analysis is considered incredible, but has been analyzed to show

that, even for extreme conditions, the derived safety standards are not exc eedec.

For purposes of this analysis, it is hypothesized that all precautionary steps f ail and an. explosion occurs in one of the furnaces. It is assumed tha t the furnace contains a maximum of 280 kilograms of uranium oxide in the form of pellets. It is assumed that all of this uranium oxide is olown into the pellet shop. With a filter efficiency of 99.9 percent, the calculated release from the building to the external environment is 280 gr,ams of uranium oxide (56o uCi if enrched to the maximum 4..I wt% U -2 35 ). This is an extremely conservative estimate of the UO2 reaching the external atmosphere, since much of the UO2 released would be in the form of pellets. The dose to the nearest

resident, which is 700 meters from Building
  1. 17 in Sector 5,

was calculated assuming that the atmospheric stability condition was Pasquill Type F and the wind speed was I meter per second. The dose equivalent was calculated to be 8.8 mrem to the lung and.013 mrem to the bone assuming a breathing rate of U.0005 cu. meters per second with a retention factor of 25% for this insoluble (Class Y) material. These doses are (,) only 0.001% and 0.000009% of the derived standards for lung and cone, respectively. Fira in Cual Rod Storana Araa In spite of the above precautions, a fire in the fuel rod storage area has been evaluated. Tests of fuel rod integrity versus temperature have been done which sncv that the maximum loss of uranium is about 60 mg per rod *. ed on this, if a fire occurs in a fuel rod storage area, th e activity released would oe 0.12uCi per rod (if enriched to the maximum 4.1 wt% U-235). Assuming a fire does occur, it is estimated that the maximum number of rods which could rupture would be 300 (maximum number of rods in a fuel rod storage container). This could result in the release of 36.0 uC1. Since the rod storage area has no hEPA

filters, it is conservatively assumed that the total 30.0 uCi of uranium is released from the building.

It is further assumed that the atmospheric stability conditions is Pasquill Type F and the wind speed was I meter per second. The wind direction was assumed blowing toward the nearest resident which is 700 meters from the edge of Building #17 in Sector 5.

Class 4 Accidents This category may be described as accidents that occur onsite that subsequently release radioactivity of f site,. including a criticality accident without a fatality, or a major fire or explosion which. destroys an entire building. MaIce Pire or Ovelosion A major fire or explosion that would destroy the entire building, including the building exhaust filtration system and HEPA filters,. could release uranium oxide to the atmosphere. However, a major fire / explosion which involved an entire building is considered to have an exceedingly small probabili.ty by virtue of extensive engineered safeguards against fire and control of fire if it occurs. The safeguards that will provide against fire include extensive sprinkler systems, f ed through an 8" loop augmented by a 425,000 gallon storage tank with backup pumping capability, rs Engineered safeguards are incorporated to minimize the (,) probability of. fire such as use of noncombustible and fire resistant materials; strict control of solvent and flammable liquid inventoriest strict control of combustible materials fire resistant filters, and use of covered metal containers for comoustible waste. All special nuclear materials are stored in a manner that allows complete flooding in the event of a fire so that a criticality accident will not result from fire fighting techniques. The combined safeguards for both prevention and control of fires makes the probability of an unchec ked fire remote. critien11tv Since the amount of U-235 onsite is greater than the minimum mass necessary to achieve criticality, it is necessary to l consider the possibility of a criticality incident. While l such an accident is theoretically

possible, it is highly unlikely because of the administrative and operational controls established by C-E over the receipt, use and storage of the enriched uranium.

In the history of the fuel f abrication indus try, there never has b een a criticality accident associated with fuel preparation or fabrication. There have been f our criticality accidents in scrap recovery operations, but all of these involved wet chemical processing. The operations performed on the Windsor site do not involve wet chemical processing. O Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 3-7

Fortunately, criticality accidents have occurred so rarely 3 (j that no statistical analysis of the probability of such an ~ accident has been a ttemp ted. Critical even ts that have occurred have, had no significant environmental impact. Radiation injuries were restricted to individuals directly involved. Fission products were effectively confined to the processing building in which the event

occurred, Prompt evacuation of employees upon a criticality alarm would assure no more than minor radiation doses to all except those in the immediate. vicinity of the accidents.

Encaosulated Uranium Ovida - Vederatgd A sufficient quantity of production assemblies, to sustain a nuclear chain reac tion when covered with

water, could theoretically but inadvertently be accumulated.

This could occur in the assembly washing operation where administrative controls are required or in a special zone where exclusion of water is required to maintain the system subcritical. In the above case, the first spike of the nuclear chain reaction could exceed 10,000,000,000,000,000

fissions, ejecting the moderating water as steam in a

sufficient quantity to render the system subcritical. The release of ftssion prcducts is not expected because the enriched uranium is encapsulated in zirconium tubing which is designed to withstand a reactor environment. Moderated Uranium Ovide - Unencansulated Unencapsulated enriched uranium such as fuel

powder, fuel pellets or fuel sludges could be accumulated, through inadequate administrative controls, in suf ficient quantities for a criticality accident.

Similar accidents have occurred in the past with uranium solutions as previously noted. From 1,000,000,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fissions could be expected from a single burs t releasing fission products. Resultinc Doses to the Envirens - Cloud Desa The whole body and the surface body doses were calculated assuming a criticality accident that produced 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fissions. This is ecuivalent to the. release of about 32 megawa tt-seconds, which is a much larger excursion than could be expected in any system in the Fuel. Fabrication Facility. To a ttain an excursion of this magnitude, a very rapid increase in reactivity would be required which is not credible in the systems in this facility. The fission product isotopic release and the average energy used in this analysis were taken from Regulatory Guide 3.34, dated July 1979. The distances to the nearest. site boundary and resident are 560 and 700

meters,

( respectively. The atmospheric conditions assumed for the Hevision 2 Dates o/21/82 Pages 3-8

dose calculations were very conservatively chosen to be G'1 .Pasquill Type F with a wind speed of I meter per second anc the wind blowing directly at the nearest site boundary or resident. The gamma and beta dose was calculated assuming a semi-inf inite cloud surrounding the individual with a radioisotopic concentration e cuivalent to the center line of the plume. Since the Pasquill Type F atmospheric stability condition produces a very small

plume, the gamma dose is over-estimated by about a f actor of 8 as a

result of the semi-infinite cloud assumption. In the calculation of the cloud gamma and beta

dose, credit was taken for the delay time between the time of criticality and the arrival of the cloud at the nearest site boundary.

This delay is composed of two components. One is the delay in the Fuel Fabrication Building and the other is the transit time from the building to the nearest residence. The delay in the building was done assuming the volatile fission products were ins tantly mixed within the pellet shop volume of 291,000 ft3. It was assumed that 19,331 ft3 of the building

volume, which is equivalent to 30 seconds flow through the ventilation system, was discharged with no delay of the fission products.

The doses at the site boundary were calculated f or this release. The next 19.331 ft3 volume was N delayed for 30. seconds and the doses at the site boundary {~gh ca lcula ted. _This same procedure was followed until the e entire building volume was released. The doses from each 30 second release was added to determine the total dose from the cloud. This method of calculating has two conservative assumptions - 1 ) no delay is assumed during each 30 second release, and 2) no further dilution of the fission products in the building is assumed for each release. The other areas of the Fuel Fabrication Building have no forced external ventilation so the delay time would be sucstantially longer. The delay after release is 9.3 minutes baseo on the transit time of the cloud moving at I meter per second for 560 meters. The only other credit taken was the wake effect of the building which is only 1.5 This is cased on the minimum external area of the Fuel Fabrication Building which is 334 square meters. The resulting whole body and body surface oose from the cloud as well as the prompt gamma and neutron dose are shown in Table 3-1. Promnt Gamma and_Meutron Oose The prompt gamma and neutron dose was calculated for the nearest residence using the method shown in Regulatory Guide 3.34 datec July 1979 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 fissions were O assumed for the criticality accident and the distances were 500 and 700 meters for th e nearest site boundary and Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 3-9

(x resident, respectively. No credit was taken for structural (_) attenuation. s.- Thyroid nesg The doses to.the thyroid from the inhalation of radioactive iodine were calculated for the nearest site boundary and res ident to the Fuel Fabrication Facility. The results are shown in Table 3.1. This source assumes 50% release from the f uel and 50% plate-out inside the Fuel Fabrication Facility. The same atmospheric conditions were used to calculate the concentration of iodine as used in the whole body dose calculations. It was assumed that the breathing rate was 0.0000000000000347 cubic meters per second which is the breathing rate characteristic of the active portion of the normal work day. No decay was assumed for the transit time f rom Building #17 to the nearest site boundary or resident. The thyroid dose per iodine curie inhaled was taken from Table II in TID-14844 Canclusions The doses shown in Table 3.1 were calculated using extremely conservative assumptions. Even using these conservative assumptions, the resulting doses at the site boundary are 1.0 percent, and 7.4 percent of the derived standard values of 3 300 rem (thyroid), and 25 rem (whole body). Class 5 Accidents This category is described as accidents that occur offsite that suosequently release radioactivity offsite. An accident type falling into this classification is a radioactive shipping accident. Transportation of radioactive materials takes place both to and from the Windsor plant site. The uranium shipped to the Windsor site is principally UO2 powder and pellets in Model Ut4 C-2901 and CE 250-2 shipping containers. Shipments from the Windsor site will be principally unirradiated fuel assemblies, of rods made of sintered UO2 pellets encapsulated in zircaloy

tubes, in Model 927Al and 927Cl shipping containers.

Fuel shipments from the Windsor site are made using exclusive use trucks, t All such raoicactive shipments are regulated by the U.S. Department or Transportation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and are in f ull compliance with state and f ederal regulations governing the safe shipment of hazardous materials. Shirments to the Windsor Site /'} (/ The majority of the material shipped to the Windsor site will l Hevision 2 Dates o/21/82 Page: 3-10

This material will be shipped in CE 250-2 shipping containers under USNRC Certificate of Compliance #9022. An average of 260,000 Kg of UO2 in the form of powder and pellets is received each year at the Windsor site. This material is shipped in exclusive use trucks and approximately 45 shipments are received annually. Shipments, on receipt, are completely surveyed for damage and radioactive contamination and the truck is surveyed before it is allowed to leave the plant site. Shinments from the Windsor Site The majority of the radioactive material shipped from the Windsor plant site consists of finished fuel assemblies. The assemblies, consisting of fuel rods containing fully encapsulated UO2 pe lle ts, will be shipped in specia lly designed and tested Type 937Al or 927Cl shipping containers under USNRC Certificate of Compliance #0078. An average of 200,000 Kg of UO2 in the form of encapsulated UO2 pellets in fuel assemblies is shipped each year from the Mindsor s ite. The assemblies are shipped in the containsers in exclusive use trucks and approximately 35 shipments are made annually. In addition to fuel shipments, quantities of radioactive materials in the form of papers, rags,

filters, and metals

") are also shipped f rom the Windsor site to an NHC-licensed (1 9 burial site. Approximately ten such truckloads of material 7 are removed from the Windsor site to the approved burial ground location each year. The increased numoer of shipments for burial is because of recent burial site allocation requirements. The actual volume of waste has decreased significantly over the past 2 years. All such shipments are made using approved steel drums on exclusive use trucks. All containers and the transport vehicles will be completely surveyed for proper loading, absence of defects that colld effect container integrity, and for levels of radioactive contamination before off-site shipment. Environmental Imnact of Shinments All shipments of radioactive material to and from the C-E dindsor plant site will be made in accordance with the stringent regulations of the DOT and NRC. These re ulations specify container integrity under severe conditions. The CE 250-2, UNC-2901, 927Al and 927C1 containers are

designed, l

manuf actured, and maintained to provide containment of their contents and remain subcritical when subjected to the ( following hypothetical accident conditions. A 30' drop onto an unyielding surface in the most damaging orientation, followed by, A 40' drop onto a 6" diame ter steel rod, striking in the most Revision 2 Date: 5/21/82 Page: 3-11

In adcition to the stringent performance standarcs for shipping containers, C-E imposes acministrative control over the exclusive-use truck transport vehicles. The

number, type, and contents of the containers loaded on each truck will be controlled to ensure that all vehicles will remain nucle ar-saf e under normal transoort and accident conditions, wo transportation accident resulting in a

criticality has ever occurrec. In addition, container performance standaras and vehicle loading controls are providea to ensure that a venicle will remain nuclear-sare even curing tne hypotnetical accident conditions. For tnis

reason, it is extremely u n 11.<e l y that a

nuclear criticality could r es ult from shipments to or troo the dindsor site. Shoulo a shipping package be breached, the impact on the environment would be low because tne nuclear materials would be in solid form and woulo not be readily dispersible. Due to the low radiation levels or the uranium involved, the radiological imoact on tne environment from a transportation accident would not be significant. () Class o Accidants Accidents of this type are the naturally o ccu rr ing events such as flooding, wind

damage, tornacos ano earthauakes.

Flooding is not considered credible because tne hign water level ror the area's worst flood (August 1955) was acproximately 110 feet aoove mean sea level. Since the aincsor site is loca ted aoproximately 180 feet acove mean sea level, tne probability of direct camace resultinc f rom lo cal flood is very low. The average hourly wind speed for 1979 was 8.8 miles per hour. The revailing wind cirection ror 6 nonths, May to Oc tobe r is south and for the 6

nontns, aoveaner to April, is northwest.

The average wind velocity at the aindsor site is 11.2 miles cer

hour, fhe hichest recorded velocity was 70 miles per hour in dovemoer
1950, ihe ouilcings on the aindsor plant site are desioned to withstanc steady winc levels cn the order of 100 miles per hour.

(} 3.2 classirientien Schame Section 3.1 or this plan evaluates tne conse cuences of all creciole accidents. In all cases examined, the probability or a major accident was round to be extremely low. This low probacility is cerived from tne fact that: 1) all process .ermanently engineerec equip.nent is designed to incorporate c safeguarcs; 2) strict acministrative control of production processes is maintained; 3) the doucle contingency princiale is adhered to in the preparation of safety evaluations; anc 4) genercus safety factors are includec in all facility limits. A classification system has been

employed, however, which covers the entire spectrum or possible emergency situations l

regardless or the probability of their occurrence. This section of the plan describes how the spectrum of postulatea accidents are encompassed within the emergency cnaracterization classes. Each class defined is associatec with a particular set or immediate actions to ce taken to cope with the situation. It should be noted that various classes of accidents require a graded scale of responses, which form the casis for the classification scheme. Also, a small

proolem, such as a

Os fire, may increase in severity and therefore move un trom one class of accicent to another. r actification of dausual svent (1) Dascrintion fnis class involves accicents anc occurrences on-site in which emergency tr ea tme n t of one or more individuals is r e qu i rec. It includes those situations that nave no potential ror escalation to more severe emergency concitions, fhere ;aay oe no ettect on the

A large ammonia release is considered to oe incredible based on the rollowing: All lines into the ammonia tanks are equipped with excess riow valves. These valves are protective devices that provide a means of protecting personnel and croperty from accidents caused by excessive ammonia loss cue to hose rupture or breakage of pipelines. Excess riow valves are designed to close at flows in excess of their normal ratec riows. Any rupture or break in a line that increases the riow aoove the racec flow rate of the valve will close the valve. These valves are also recessed witnin the ammonia O-tanks so that even if the line is sheared off at the

tank, une valve will still f orm a seal and stop the release.

Also, the tanks are design-tested at 325 psi (vapor pressure or und at 100 degrees F is 200 psi) and supported oy two solid concrete suoports (one at eacn end of the tank). These concrete supports have concave shaped tops so the tants rest within the supports.

Allowed exposure for any individual will be kept as low as reasonaoly achievable. However, doses in excess of tne legal limits are permissible in emergency situations during or imiaediately af ter an accident. l'h e justification for this is the rescue or individuals, tne prevention of exposure of a large numoer of

Dear Mr. Sheeran:

SUBJECT:

RADIOLOGICAL ASSISTANCE Since your nuclear facility is located in Region I, the Brookhaven Area Of fice is charged with the responsibility for providing radiological assistance in the event of an emergency. Such assistance can be requested at all times by calling 516-282-2200 and asking for radiological assis-tance, indicating the nature of the incident, the location, and how to contact authorities to coordinate our response. The Department of Energy (DOE) will respond to requests for radio-logical assistance f rom licensees, Federal, State, and local agencies, private organizations, or individuals involved in or cognizant of an inc ident believed to involve source, by-product, or special nuclear materials as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, or other ionizing radiation sources. Unless the DOE or a DOE contractor is responsible for the activity, ionizing radiation source, or radioactive material involved in an inci-dent, DOE radiological assistance will be limited to advice and emergency action essential for the control of the immediate hazards to health and safety. Radiological emergency assistance will be terminated as soon as the emergency situation is under control. Therefore, responsibility for l po s t-inc iden t recovery, including further action for the protection of individuals and the public health and saf ety, should be assumed by the appropriate responsible Federal, State or local government, or private authority as soon as the emergency conditions are stabilized. If you have any further questions or desire further information, feel free to contact me. Sincerely, p ,/{l,~;(' 7 k...: I a David Schweller Area Manager cc: L. J. Deal L. Cohen

S.4.2 use of vectective Eculo, nt and sucolies The despira tory Protection Program is cesignec to provide guidance that will assist all prospective res pira tory users with the required knowlecce to (~T effectively wear respiratory orotection., Through the N/ use of full face masks or sucplied air type respiratory protec tion

devices, individual internal exposures will be kept as low as possible.

Traininc Training in the use of respiratory eculpment shall be performed as follows: Jew Employees - Prior to using respiratory protective equipment for the first time. Hourly Employees - On an annual basis for those wno are authorized to wear respiratory protective ecpipment. Subject ma tter to be covered in the training sessions will be as listea below: 1) Discussion or airoorne u02 and other contaminants against wnich tne wearer is to ce protected, including their pnysical properties,

MFCs, physiological
action, toxicity, anc means of cetection.

2) Discussion or tne operating princiales, anc limitation or ruil face resoirators and Sco tt Air eacxs and the criteria ror ' selection of tne proper (]) devision 2 Date: 5/21/32 dage: 5-7

respirator for the particular purpose. ,U 3) Discussion of the reasons for using respirators and an explanation of why permanent engineered safety features may not always be immedia tely

feasible, including recognition that every reasonaole effort is being made to reduce or eliminate the neeo for respirators.

4) Instruc tion in procedures f or ensuring that the respirator is in proper working condition. 5) Instruction in fitting the respirator croperly and checking for adequacy of fit. o) Instruction in the proper use of the respirator. 7) Discussion of tne cartridges used for air-purif ying respira tors. 8) Instruction in emergency action to be taken in the event or malfunction of the respirator. 9) Heview of radiation and contamination

hazarcs, including the use of other protective eculpment that may be used with respirators.

(]) Selection of Wesoiratots The use of respirators in the Building al 7 pellet shoo during normal operatina conditions is not consicered 4 necessary, since all process operations on unclac UO2 are performed in ventilateo enclosures to minimize personnel exposure to airborne racioactive material. A minimum air flow rate of 100 fpm into all ventilated enclosures has historically provided suf ficient means or maintaining personnel exposures as low as possible. Additional assurance from an eYtensive general air and fixec air sampling program indicate that no additional respiratory protection is necessary during normal operations. Personnel creathing zone sampling will oe used to assess actual exposures and to conrirm the adequacy of the ventilation system.

However, two types or respirators are availaole for nonrcutine and emergency situations and these are utilizec as f o llows :

a) A rull' face respirator may oe required whenever breaking containment on ventilatec systems becomes necessary, sucn as ror repair or process equipment, b) A full face respirator may also ce re cu ired () whenever direct exposure to unciad UO2 outside tne nevision 2 Date: 5/21/82 vage: 5-3

ventilation system becomes necessary as curing (') enrichment cleanuo or when the snitt H.P. Techn ic ian considers it necessary to avoid unnecessarily hign exposures. c) Sco tt Air vaks are available for emergency situations such as a leak on the ammonia cracker. Fittino anc Testinn After it has oeen determined by the company pnysician that an incividual is capable of performing work usina respiratory protection eculpment, the individual will oe initially fitted with a respirator and tested with irritant smoke to assure that an acecuate rit can ce obtained. I) All respiratory equipment will ce fi tted, adjustec to anc removea from the indivioual only by the nealth Physics Technician. It will be his responsioility to test tne respirators for operaoility. Each user will have the respirator removed by the dealth Physics Technician after approximately 60 minutes. A nasal smear will ce taken at that time, and the user's SZ samole will be counted. If indicated, the user may be removec from the operation to assure against high () exposure. 2) The Health Physics fechnician will instruct the user in the use of the ecuipment, and will advise him that ne may leave the area in case of equipment malfunction, physical or psychological discomfort, or other conditions which may recuce the pro tection aff orded the user. Under these concitions ne need not await the Healtn Physics Tecnnician f or mask remova l, but nust exercise care when removing the mask to prevent dusting. 3) bef ore the user starts work in a resoirator, he is to ce given a copy of "Acknowlec;ement of Instructions in the use of despiratory Ecuipment", ror nis stucy and sianature. 4) The user will be ecuipped with a BZ samoler. 5) fhe Health vnysics Technician will acoly a full face respirator using the followino quicelines: a) Fut respirator over f ace b) Full straps over the top and cown in oack of tne head LJ .sevision 2 Dates o/21/82 dage: 5-9,

sealed, there should be no air leak for the 10 second

" hold" period and the mask should collapse inward toward the wearer's f ace. e) If there is no

leak, proceed with desired operation (s).

t) If a leak is

noticed, adjust ruboer straps until desired tension is achieved and recheck for adequate fit.

6) The procedure to be used in fitting an individual with a Scott Air Pak is as follows: a) Check cylinder pressure gauge for "F U LL " ind ica tion. If cylinder pressure is celow " FULL", replace with a fully charged cylincer. () b) Check that regulator cy-pass valve (red knoo) is closed (full cloc kwis e) and regulator shut-of f valve (yellow .<n o o ) is open ( f u ll-counter-clockwise). c) Open cylinder valve knob l-1/2 turns).

All production personnel who work with radioactive materials l shall attend a formal annual safety training session, witn no more than 13 months between training sessions._ This training session will incluce as a minimum the topics covered-in the initial training sessions. In addition, this session shall i emphasize problem or potential proclem areas, involving tne topics covered, or any other safety related areas. [ t4FA-il also maintains a comprehensive system of operating procedures which include the appropriate safe ty precautions. Informal training (not cocumented with lesson

plans, etc..)

l are conducted by production foremen on a continual basis as needed to assure that personnel are properly followino tne approved procedures. The ultimate responsioility - to f o llow tne operating proc edure lies with the emoloyee. Any change which alters the employee's responsibility or actions in i regard to safety (criticality, raciation, and industrial) must be aoproved by the Supervisor, Health Physics &

Safety, or Manager uLS6A who will assure the aopropriate training is conduc ted prior to implementation.

This also incluces (]) changes to the emergency procedures whicn affect employee actions in an emergency situation. All maintenance personnel working in restricted areas snall attend formal training sessions annually not to exc eed 13 months between sessions. If they have not attended this training, they may enter the restrictec area only with a trained escort. .4ain tenanc e training sessions will cover the same tocics as the i production personnel session. Special emchasis will be given l-to internal costamination of eculoment. I Salaried personnel who enter restricted areas shall a ttend l fortal training sessions annually not to exceec 13 montns l oetween sessions. These sessions will be directed toward l observation and supervision in restricted areas rather than actual handling of radioactive material. The topics listed in the initial training shall be discussed with enchasis on the supervisory aspects of these topics. Lacoratory personnel shall conduct formal retraining of all personnel who nandle racioac tive material at least every 2 i years not to exceec 2S months. All work in the lacoratory l which involves radioactive material requires an d i!P. This l sistem allows for continual control or personnel hancling i racioac tive ma terial. 1 ine efractiveness or all re tra inin g is determined bv the instructor cuestioning the personnel to cetermine 'their (f unders tancing of eacn topic. sevision 2 Date: 3/21/S2 dage: 8-2 l ~ _ _ _. _ _. _ _ _ _. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ _,
