UNITED STATES OF AMERICA NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION BEFORE THE ATOMIC SAFETY AND LICENSING BOARD In the Matter of ) ) COMMONWEALTH EDISON COMPANY ) Docket Nos. 50-454 OL ) 50-455 OL (Byron Nuclear Power Station, ) Units 1 & 2) ) AFFIDAVIT OF DAVID D. ED I, David D. Ed, being duly sworn, hereby state as follows: I provided written direct testimony before the Licensing Board in the above captioned proceeding. A portion of that testimony reads as follows: The factors for dose committment reduction afforded by sheltering are derived from the EPA report entitled " Protective Action Evaluation Part II, Evacuation and Sheltering as Protective Actions Against Nuclear Accidents Involving Gaseous Releases" (EPA 520/1-78-001B). If the predominant type of structure is unknown or of a mixed type, the dose reduction factor used for sheltering is a conservative value assuming a single-story wcod frame building, the least protective type of sheltering provided by a permanent structure. As it was brought to my attention by the Memorandum Regarding Official Notice of the Licensing Board, dated I September 20, 1983, it has become apparent that this portion of my testimony requires clarification. The referenced EPA report is actually the second of a two part report: " Protective Action Evaluation Part I, 4 8310170356 831010 PDR ADOCK 05000454 0 PDR

the Effectiveness of Sheltering as a Protective Action Against Nuclear Accidents Involving Gaseous Releases, (EPA 520/1-78-001A)" and " Protective Action Evaluation Part II, Evacuation and Sheltering as Protective Actions Against Nuclear Accidents Involving Gaseous Releases, (EPA 520/1 001B)." The above quotation from my testimony was in the context of my discussion of a standard operating procedure which is used by the Illinois Department of Nuclear Safety (DNS) for deciding between evacuation and sheltering. The methodology used in this standard operating procedure is derived from Part II of the EPA report. The procedure closely parallels the logic detailed in the diagrams on pages 39a and 39b of Part II of the EPA report. The math-ematical formulae in our standard operating procedure call for input of the dose commitment reduction afforded by sheltering. We attempt to provide the sheltering input whenever possible based on data gathered in local surveys. (In fact, the above referenced standard operating procedure utilizes such empirically derived data when addressing sheltering versus evacuation scenarios at the four operating nuclear generating stations in Illinois. A similar data base will be developed for the Byron station by the time the site specific volume of the Illinois Plan for Radiological Accidents for Byron is completed.) However, if such data is

r s i i e i ) not available, DNS will utilize a dose reduction f stor assuming a single story wood frame building, the least protective type of sheltering. The factors for this input can be found in Part I of the EPA report. I used the term " single-story wood frame building" to indicate a wood frame building with no basement in which the only attenuation is provided by a single layer of roof and i ceiling materials. See page 16 and Table 3 at page 18 of Part I of the EPA report. As indicated at the referenced pages, the attenuation factor for such a structure is 0.9. As indicated in Figure 26 at page 72 of Part I of the EPA report, that attenuation factor translates into a dose reduction factor of about 0.6 (based on the parameters i presented in Table 6 at page 52.) Thus, the dose reduction factor we use in the circumstance described above is ap-proximately 0.6. i There also may be some confusion concerning my use of the term " conservative" in the above-quoted part of my testimony. As I stated in my testimony, the policy of the State of Illinois favors evacuation ~as a protective action since it reduces dose commitment to zero if timely achieved. i Thus, when unknown or highly variable factors are present, assumptions are made consistent with the State's policy. If the predominant type of structure is unknown or if there is i a significant mixture of structural types, the dose re-f ,m..._ _ _ _ _,, _ -, -,. _ _. -,,. _., _., _. _. _. _,.. _ -.., ~.. _,,. - _.. -,,.. _._.--..r,---._.---

_4 duction factor for sheltering used is that of a single-story wood frame building. This assumes the least amount of protection and thus assumes the greatest possible exposure from sheltering. The use of this assumption in the standard operating procedure will favor evacuation, and thus the assumption is " conservative" under most circumstances. The EPA report does not refer to this practice as conservative nor does it recommend any policy such as that adopted by the State of Illinois. Any inference that the EPA report endorsed our practice as " conservative" was unintentional. It should be emphasized that this " conservative" approach is applied only when the type of sheltering available is uncertain. We do not anticipate the necessity of using i this assumption at Byron since, as previously indicated, we expect to obtain data regarding the types of structures in the Byron area. To the best of my knowledge, the foregoing is true and correct. l - 64 David D. Ed SWORN AND SUBSCRIBED to before me this 106 day of ch 1983. 1 W M Rotary Public Ly C = %;% b? IRS 4nt & IE55 f j

m_. 1 I. INTRODUC* ION In the event of an airborne release of radioactive material from a nuclear power plant accident, shal:ering of individuals is an important consideration in emergency protective action planning as it may be 1) an effective means of significantly reducing radiatior. dosages; 2) th's only practical option in view of possible time and logistic ecustraints. Moreover, most people in urban areas, for example, spend 75 percen: of their time indoors. This report describes an analysis to estinate the effectiveness or benefit that might be derived from shel:eri=g following a release of gaseous fission produe:s from an operating nuclear power station. Tha objec:1ve of thi.s effort is the development of sheltering effectiveness information that could provide general guidance to hose responsible for ferzulating required emer ency plans for nuclear power plan: siting. g Accordingly, the approach P=kan here does not land 1:seli to :he specific evaluation of shelter structures involving deca 11ed descripcions and operational scenarios; but rather focuses more broadly on what are deemed to be the essential paramecers and their variations, ar.d the general characteristics of small and large categories of shel:er s: uctures available to the public. Shel:er effec:1veness as referred to in :his report is the ratio of the dose that may be incurred with sheltering condi:icus to :hac vi:hout shal:ering in the open, specifically defined as the dose redue:1on f actor (DRF). DRF estimates for different con-dicions of source release, shal:ar s: rue:ure assumptions, and operacional time parameters are made for both whole-body and thyroid doses separacely, based on a single-compar:sent structural model of the :i=e-varying out-side and inside gaseous radionuclide sour:es of krypton, xenon, and iodine. Design basis acciden: (DBA) assumpeions are made for the gaseous radionuclide release to defins :he proportion of rare gases and radio-iodines. The =agni:ude of the. release and dose es:imates are based on radionuclide data f rom.~':s.:scrror Scfe':y S=d.f (*. ASH-1400) [1]. How-ever, inasmuch as the DRF, as defined above, is :he key index used :o characterize the effectiveness of shel:ering, i: is no t se=si:ive :o :he o~ e,-- c.-, - - --., - - - ,,,.n

Sourca ~ ralasas cima and duration assumptions ara related to ralaase categories given in Raf. I as PWK 1, ?W13, and FWR 4, for which release cimaa e rangs-from 1.5 to 2.5 hr and the release duration ranges from 0.5 to 3 hr. The basic shaltar modal characteristics considered are gaarm ray t ~ attenuation, sourca gacmetry, gaseous fission-produe: ingress, and air change rata. Numerical values used for D17 r=1*"1=tions are based on a 11:aratura review and some assumptions that are nada whera data ara sparse or lacking. Temporal parametars c=nsidered are sourca release :1=a and duration, cloud travel time, and ti=a span: in the shaltar structura. These para-matars are used to illustrata the sensi:ivi:7 of shaltaring affectiveness to variations in parameter values. Also, the analysis of shel:ar effective-nasa is based on a time-frama model, which can be conveniently related to other operational timas 1:apor. ant for amargency planning (e.g., in-formation time-delay and reaction time) required to accomplish the pro-tactive ac:1on-in this case, sheltering. In addition to developing shal:ar-affectiveness estimates parametrically, the advantage of emi:ing and evacuating the vied'd:y of the shelter area after some ini:141 time in the shelter is analyzed from -he sta dn point of the CRF and temporal considerations. h* m' f a ?

The main purpose of this study is base served by providing s overall to:hnical guidanca information as to the effectiveness of usiog a shaltar structura based on some assumed conditions for shialding and ventilation races without specifically focusing on data 11ad physical description :nd analysis of shelter structures.

Excarnal k~d dose from radioac.1ve falicut satarial deposited o both outsida (shielded) and insida (unshieldad) the shaltar structure. In this study, beta skis dose was not eensidered, as it is assumed to ha of secondary i=portanca as compared vich kB and thyroid dose con-l siderations.

i '? I 7 [ The entry of outsids airborne radioactive cloud material is assumed to ha dependent on the shelter-structure ventilation race (forced, natural, or both) assuming constant homogeneous 31xing based on simple one-compar:- ment outside/inside air swehange. This type of stirrad-cank. Meg and ven:11ation model has been :.pplied in studies of the relationship between indoor / outdoor pollutants (e.g., NO, N0, CO, and 0 ) and has predicted g 3 concentration versus cima profiles that are similar to those seasured (5]. The radiciodina fallout deposi:1on inside the shelter is then also assumed to be dependent on the ventiIacion race as well as the fallout deposi: ion ~ veloci:y; these aspects are also discussed below. Sheltar St ucture ventilation A review of literature on ventilation races of homes and buildi:gs indicates a vide variety of air change escisatas ranging anywhere from M.L to 6 per hour for single-family dwellings :o N1 to 9 changes per hour for large st:uctures. The vide ranges are, of course, due :s the various t/ pes of construction--whether the portals and vindows were shut or sealed, and such environmental factors as vind speed. e=pera-ture differential, and humidity. Also, in some ins:ances, i: was not clear whether air change races included internal forced-air systens. A review by F.andley and 3ar on (7) of published infor=ation on home ventilation rates resul:ad is their suggesting the use of the range frc= 0.5 to 1.5 air changes per hour for homes and 2.0 air changes per I hcur for moders high-rise apartment buildings. A check vi.h comercial homa air-condi:ioning and hes:1sg vendors seems to generally suppor: those recomenda: ions.

Many of these facets of a gaseous fission-product ralsase from a nuclear accicant are currantly unknown, particularly for radioiadise, which leads to difficulty in accurataly predicting the ingress of gaseous radioactive saterial into sneltar structuras. For the rara gases (Ia and Kr), most are willing to accept virtually no effective " structural filteri=g," because of chair inertness and stability as gaseous for=s. Accordingly, in this study no effective f11 caring action has been included is esti-nating their 1 carnal structura concentrati:ns. For the halogens, which are here assumed to be all radiciodises, the case is mora ecuplicated and suffers from scarcity of exper1=escal work on indoor / outdoor pollutant-level relacionships dealing with the ingrass of radioicdine into various pccential sheltering structures. The radiciodises are of course particularly important sourtas due to their large cont-1bution to the WB dose, as well as bei g totally responsibla for the thpfd dose. Thraa known chemical forms of radiciodine present as airbor=a gaseous species in power-station areas during and after handling defac-1 tive fuel elements are elemental iodise (1 ), hyp,cidous acid (HOI), and 1 organic f odidas (CH I).

A simple. statistical analysis of the data indicates a protection factor (ratin of inside to outsida dose) of 0.51 0.11 (pooling the data from two experiments described). From Megaw's work., however, it is not possible to identify precisely the ex:ent of the radiciodine fil:aring action or resistance to ingress for use is a simple miring model such as is assumed for this study, even for the case structure used in the experisen:, because of the absence of experimental infor=ation regirding source relassa time and i=censi:y distribution and tha absence of any correlation of the inside-to-outside dose ratio with ventilation race.

t 2 15 TDE-FR&E MODEL The question of shelter protection effectiveness f;oa airborne radioactive material accidentally released, from a. nuciaar power plant. is dependent upon the time required for individuals to gain entry into

a. protective structure; and the length of time they remain, as compared vich the etas of cloud arrival and passage. The required entry time assumes that individuals are c sasferred from either unprotected or protected locations to another location affording==^= protection,

, considering logistic constraints, etc. On the other hand, individuals could also be located in houses and buildings already providisg adequate shelter so that effectiveness would not depend on access cine. Figure 8 shows cha time-frame model assumed in estimating the effectiveness of sheltering, as well as other times of interest (to put them in perspective). Measured from initiation of a possible incident, (T +T,) is the estimated time-of-arrival of the assumed lead g par-h of a radioactive cloud. The time from source release, T.y. measured from incident initiation, may vary from about 1.5 to 9 he for the more severe accident estegories (1}; although in one, instance (Ph'R 4 Category), a value of 23 hr was indicated. Source release cises of from 1.5 to 3 hr were considered to be of more isterest in this study, since protective evacuation actica night very well be = ore appropriate, considering the greater c1=e that would be available. Cloud arrival *.ime, T,, would depend completely on the location of a shelter from the point of release and the prevai!*mg meteorological conditions (primarily, vind speed and drection) during cloud travel time. Assuming a given sustained average vind speed (and direction), z/E ia an escisate of T,, where x is the distance from the relaase and E the average wind speed. For example, for an estimate of the average low-population zone distance of around 3.4 si based on siting data given for 76 nuclear power plant sites (30], cloud ar:1 val cise vould be approximately 1-1/2 hr to 20 mis for vind speeds of from 2 to 11 mph, respectively.

As assumed hara, Tg s represents the total. delay ti.:a from initiation of an event to onset a I of physical movement to a shelter. For evacuation, the EPA estimatas this delay time as being from 0.9 to 4.5 hr [31]. Also, for evacuation, the EPA estimate for T is from 0.2 co 1.5 hr, which may be azcassive 7 for shaltaring on.ha high end. That is, reasonable shal:aring :1=as may be anywhere from a few minutes to half an hour.

This kind of capability would obviously be wary useful in pf==M emergency public actiona such as sheltering. In this study, the persistanca time is simply related to the. cloud exposura cima designated in Fig. 8 as T,; such that, if f is an estimata of the persistsaca time, than T, = T, for T,,$, r, otharvisa, T, = r. The tian-frama modal for shaltaring 'also considers the time that individuals may have remained in, a shaltar after passage of the radio-active cloud. For example, althcugh exiting a sheltar may afford more protac:1on and thus avoid exposure to accumulated intarsal con-tamination, precisa axiting with regard to cloud passaga may not bt practical, and the overall tima spent in a sheltar could be as *-d*ca-cad by the shaded portion of Fig. 8. This shaded portion, then, desig=atas an "incarnal receptor" with respect to radioactive gaseous fission-product sourcas. That is, during T, after cloud arrival, unprocactad t l individuals may be exposed to airbor=a radioactive material by means of direct %'B ganana radiation from both airbor=a and ground-sourca fallout material and from radioactive material encaring the body via f-hmistion.

The affectiveness estiastas, in this study are mainly concerned with times commancing at cloud arrival, (T +T,), in which simple radioactive decay by each sourca g isotope is considered over (T +T,). Nota also that the time-frama g model assumas an abrupt boundary at both the leading and traillag edges of tha radioactive cloud material. Of course, in reality, this is not true, as it is well-knavn that turbulent diffusion in the atmosphere gives rise, on the average, to continuously changing airborne sourca boundaries--whose Mman=1onal scalas, havaver, ara such that the above model would be a reasonabla approximation, considering the sourca release incarvals of interest (axcluding an isstantaneous puff).

For example, EC and FD values include esti=ates of externsi gamma '="5 dose for sources both inside and outside a shelter structure for the exposure times (defined in Fig. 8, p. 29) inditated. Shelter dose components (IC, FD, IC, and TC) also include a portion of unsheltered dose contributions accumulats,e aver the ex-posure period, 7, to simulate the effects of shelter-access delay times 7 that assume no ' protection during that interval. The remainder of this section desc-ibes the development of these dose components used in the calculation of the DRI values. Doses dovuvind from an accidental release of airborne gaseous fission products are dependent upon the concentration of the airborne radioactive nacerial that can be expressed as follows for continuous source release conditions: X(r,t) = (x(r)/h) h(c) (C1/m ) 3 where x(:)/h (sec/s ) is the ratio of the concentration x(r) (Ci/n ), 3 ~ at a distance from the release to the source release rata Q (C1/sec); and Q(c-x/U) (C1/sec) is the cine-dependent source-release rate function.
