Dear Sir:

Three Mile Nuclear Station, Unit I (TMI-1)

Operating License No. DPR-50 Docket No. 50-289 Radiation Monitor Setpoints Attached for your information is a copy of a letter to the PaDER concerning the setpoints for RMA5 and RM-G25.

sincerely, H. D.

SUMMAR1* OF CONDEMSOR OFF. GAS RADIATION MONITORS RESPONSES AS THEY RELATE TO OTSG LEAKAGE RMA-5 (Low Channel)

High Alarm Set Point:

2.5E5 cpm

  • Basis:

A primary to secondary 19ak rate of 7 gph (0.12gpm) at a nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03% will 1 dicate 2.5E5 cpm.

This high alarm set point also 7

corresponds to the GPUNC'3 ministrative shutdown limit of 7 gph primary to d

secondary leakage.

Alert Alarm Set Point:

115 cpm

  • Basis:

(

A primary to secondary leak rate of 3 gph (0.05 gpm) at nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03% will indicate 1 x.10 cpm on RMA-5 low range.

This alarm is set at a value higher than the baseline leak rate, approximately 50% of the administrative shutdown limit.

RMA-5 (High Channel)

High Alarm Set Point:

3E4 cpm

  • Basis:

An Alert emergency classification ** is declared at 3E4 cpm on RMA-5 High which corresponds to 10 mR/hr dose rate at the site boundary assuming a nominal f ailed fuel fraction of 0.03% -and adverse meterology.

A 250 gpm primary to secondary leak rate at a nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03% is actually required to reach a dose rate of 10 mR/hr at site boundary.

Alert Alarm Set Point:

130 cpm

  • Basis:

An Unusual Event is declared at 1 spm primary to secondary leak rate which corresponds to 130 cpm on RMA-5 High based on a nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03%.

The 1 gpm is the Tech. Spec shutdown limit.

RMG-25 High Alarm Set Point: 5.5E3 mR/hr

  • Basis:

A Site emergency classification is declared at 5.5F3 mR/hr on RMG-25, which corresponds to 50 mR/hr dose rate at the site boundary assuming a nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03% and adverse meterology. '

l RMG-25 (Continuad)

Ilert Alarm Set Point:

1.lE3 mR/hr

  • Basis:

An Alert emergency classification ** is declared at 1.1E3 mR/hr on RMG-25, which corresponds to 10 mR/hr dose rate at the site boundary assuming a nominal failed fuel fraction of 0.03% and adverse meterology. A 250 gpm primary to secondary leak rate at a nominal failed' fuel fraction of 0.03% is actually required to reach a dose rate of 10' mR/hr at the site boundary.

f These values may change slightly due to instrument response characteristic'.

s An Alert emergency classification is also declared for greater than 50 gpm Primary to secondary leakrate when saturation margin is not lost regardless of radiation monitor reading.
