- 3. -1.04 pcm/°F at HFP to -1.325 pcm/°F at HZP.
- 4. -1.2 pcm/°F at HFP to -1.5 pcm/°F at HZP.
- 5. An RCS flow of 390,000 gpm x 0.99 - 2.2% is assumed. The analysis results are always bounded by results in Section 15.1.5. Therefore, the analysis was not re-analyzed with 388,000 gpm flow.
- 6. The most positive MTC (most negative MDC) allowed by the Technical Specifications was used.
- 7. An RCS flow of 390,000 gpm - 2.2% is assumed. The analysis was evaluated and the reduced flow has negligible impact on the analysis.
- 8. The Catawba Technical Specification limit for the moderator temperature coefficient (MTC) is based on a +7 pcm/°F MTC from 0 to 70% of nominal power, ramping to 0 pcm/°F at full power. Sensitivity studies have shown that a 0 pcm/°F MTC at a full power condition conservatively bounds the combinations of power and MTC permitted by the Technical Specifications.
- 9. Refer to Figure 15-17.
- 10. Refer to Section 15.4.8.2.2.
- 11. The moderator density and Doppler effects on reactivity during LOCA transients are accounted for in the evaluation models as described in Section 15.6.5 and the associated references.
- 12. An RCS flow of 390,000 gpm is assumed. The results of this transient are not sensitive to RCS flow.
- 13. Deleted
- 14. The results of this transient are not sensitive to reactivity feedback assumptions.
- 15. Deleted Per 2013 Update.
- 16. An RCS flow of 390,000 gpm is assumed. An evaluation of a change to 388,000 gpm concluded that there would be no impact on meeting the relevant acceptance criteria due to the reduced RCS flow.
- 17. Main feedwater temperature is 60ºF. Auxiliary feedwater temperature is 32ºF.
- 18. Analysis was originally performed at 3445 MWt (3411 MWt plus 1% for conservatism). However, 1% for heat balance error was also added into the analysis, so it remains bounding for the MUR (3479 MWt). An MUR uprate evaluation was performed at 3469 MWt (101.7% of 3411 MWt) plus 0.3% uncertainty to derive the PCT penalty included in Table 15-82.
- 19. Evaluations of all accidents for RCS Flows of 384,000 gpm (U1) and 387,000 gpm (U2) concluded that there would be no impact on meeting the relevant acceptance criteria due to the reduced RCS flow.

- 1. Time delay from the indicated parameter satisfying the trip condition until the beginning of rod motion. The delays due to RTD response (T trips only) and electronic signal filtering are accounted for by explicit modeling.
- 2. The numerical setpoint assumed for this trip function varies depending on the accident being analyzed. The values used are given in the descriptions of the various accidents.
- 3. A value for this trip setpoint is not explicitly modeled. However, an actual trip setpoint of less than 68% of nominal bus voltage, adjusted for uncertainty and margin, may invalidate the delay time to trip assumed in the analysis.

- 1) A supplemental analysis of the steam generator tube rupture is reported in Section 15.6.3.3. It is the basis for a set of conditions cited in Facility Operating License Amendment 159/151. The license conditions set limits of 0.46 µCi/gm Dose Equivalent Iodine-131 (DEI) for equilibrium iodine specific activity in the reactor coolant and 26 DEI for transient iodine specific activity in the reactor coolant. Thyroid radiation doses are calculated in this supplemental analysis and reported in Table 15-74.

- 3) Section 15.7.4 reports the analysis of fuel handling accident in containment and a fuel handling accident in the fuel building. The radiation doses calculated for offsite locations and in the control room take the same values.
- 4) TEDEs at the boundary of the Low Population Zone (denoted as the LPZ) are not listed for the fuel handling accidents, weir gate drop, or fuel cask drop. The regulatory acceptance criteria in 10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183 for radiation doses at the Exclusion Area Boundary and LPZ are the same. In addition, for the fuel handling accidents and weir gate drop, the TEDEs at the LPZ are significantly lower than the TEDEs at the Exclusion Area Boundary.

- 1) The containment volume and compartment volumes do not include the volume of the ice condenser.
- 2) The lower compartment volume includes the volume of the dead ended compartments.
- 3) It is assumed that the airflow returned to the annulus by the Annulus Ventilation System mixes with the air in half of the volume of the annulus or 242,045 cu. ft.
- 4) For the purposes of calculation of steam releases, offsite power is assumed to be available and the main coolant pumps in operation. Steam and radioactivity are assumed to be released to the environment via the steam generator power operated relief valves. This is consistent with assumed unavailability of the condenser dump valves and the modulated atmospheric dump valve which is consistent with assumed loss of offsite power.
- 5) Time dependent primary to secondary leak rates were calculated with the use of RETRAN02.
- 6) The radiation doses for a rod ejection accident postulated at Unit 2 are presented given that they are higher than the radiation doses for a rod ejection accident postulated at Unit 1.
- 7) The intervals of steam generator tube bundle uncovery correspond to a rod ejection accident with a Minimum Safeguards failure. The intervals of steam generator tube bundle uncovery are shorter for the other rod ejection accident scenarios.

- 1) DEX denotes Dose Equivalent Xenon-133. The isotopic activities corresponding to this value are presented in Table 15-83.
- 2) DEI denotes Dose Equivalent Iodine-131. The isotopic activities corresponding to this value are presented in Table 15-84.
- 3) The efficiency of the condenser in scrubbing iodine from the steam flow into it is set to this value (100%) before the initiating event to increase to a maximum the iodine specific activity in the Main and Auxiliary Feedwater Systems and associated condensate grade sources.
- 4) The value is taken in the calculations of fission product releases between the initiating event and trip of the affected nuclear unit.
- 5) This value is taken for the steam generator tube rupture scenario yielding the limiting offsite TEDE (the TEDE at thr Exclusion Area Boundary following a steam generator tube rupture at Unit 2 with the power operated relief valve for the ruptured steam generator failed open).
- 6) Before unit trip, fission products are released from the unit vent stack. After trip, fission products are released from the steam vents on the roofs of the steam generator doghouses.
- 7) One control room air intake is open.
- 8) Two control room air intakes are open.
- 9) From this time onwards, both control room intakes are open.
- 10) The ruptured steam generator and one intact steam generator presumably vent through steam vents on the outboard steam generator doghouse. The remaining two intact steam generators presumably vent through steam vents on the inboard steam generator doghouse.
- 11) The limiting TEDEs at offsite locations are associated with a steam generator tube rupture scenarios at Unit 2 with the power operated relief valve for the ruptured steam generator failed open. The limiting TEDEs in the control room for a steam generator tube rupture are associated with a steam generator tube rupture at Unit 2 with a closed control room outside air intake.
- 12) For the ruptured SG, after cooldown to 350°F, a continued release of 100 lbm/min is assumed for 12 additional hours. For the 3 intact SGs combined, the boil-off rate at 350°F of 2844.3 lbm/min is assumed for an additional 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

- 1) The assumed power level (3479 MWt) is 102% of original licensed rated thermal for the reactor (3411 MWt).
- 2) All noble gases are assumed to be retained in the containment atmosphere, none are assumed to be in the containment sump.
- 3) Release of all fission products in the radioactive source term to the containment atmosphere pursuant to RG 1.183 is simulated. Release of tellurium and iodine isotopes to the containment sump only is simulated. This is equivalent to the Staff position that only iodine may be released from ESF leakage to the environment.
- 4) The ice condenser is not modeled as a containment volume.
- 5) The volume of the lower compartment includes the dead-end compartments.
(14 APR 2018)
Catawba Nuclear Station UFSAR Table 15-40 (Page 7 of 8)
- 6) The containment leak rate and the containment bypass leak rate are partitioned into two constituents: one for the lower compartment and one for the upper compartment. The partitioning is in proportion with compartment volume.
- 7) The control room operators start the Containment Spray System (CSS) after they begin the transfer of the Emergency Core Cooling System to cold leg to recirculation. It is assumed that they start the CSS at 80 minutes after the initiating LOCA.
- 8) CsI (cesium iodide) is the notation for all fission products in particulate form. The NRC Staff takes the position that CSS washout time constants for fission products in particulate form should be reduced to 1/10 of the calculated value if the decontamination factor reaches 50.
- 9) The spray washout time constant for organic iodine compounds (e.g., CH3I) is 0.
- 10) It is assumed that the CSS System is turned off at 1 day after the initiating event.
- 11) Credit is taken for mixing of Annulus Ventilation System (AVS) recirculation airflow with air in half the volume of the annulus (242,045 cu.ft.). No credit is taken for mixing of containment leakage to the annulus directly in the annulus airspace. Rather, it is assumed that containment leakage to the annulus flows directly to the AVS Exhaust louvers.
- 12) The calculation of the annulus drawdown time takes into account the effect of the differences in hydrostatic gradients inside the annulus and outside the reactor building. The outside air temperature is set to the 99th percentile low temperature (1 percentile temperature).
- 13) The limiting single failure with the effect of loss of one AVS train is the Minimum Safeguards failure.
- 14) Scenarios in which both AVS trains are assumed to be in operation include the design basis LOCA with failure of a AVS pressure transmitter - the transmitter gives a false high indication of annulus pressure. The effected AVS train continues to operate but in the Exhaust Mode at times when it should operate in the Recirculation Mode.
- 15) It is assumed that the operators will align the Class 1E Exhaust filter trains of the Auxiliary Building Ventilation System ABFVES within 3 days following the initiating event.
- 16) The limiting scenario associated with these iodine partition fractions are the design basis LOCA with Minimum Safeguards failure.
- 17) This scenario encompasses all design basis LOCA scenarios for which the failure does not affect the ABFVES System.
- 18) The limiting scenario associated with these iodine partition fractions are the design basis LOCA with Minimum Safeguards failure.
- 19) The limiting scenarios include the design basis LOCA with either a AVS pressure transmitter failure or a closed control room air intake isolation valve.
- 20) The limiting failure is the design basis LOCA with failure of flow of cold water flow to either a RHRS or CSS Heat Exchanger.
- 21) No particulate fission products are assumed to be entrained in ESF Systems leakage.
- 22) This /Q is taken for the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period of maximum release of radioactivity to the environment.
- 23) The control room outside air intakes are the receptors for outside airflow drawn by the pressurized filter trains of the Control Room Area Ventilation System (CRAVS). The control (14 APR 2018)
Catawba Nuclear Station UFSAR Table 15-40 (Page 8 of 8) room /Qs for unfiltered inleakage to the control room are based on the intake penetrations being the limiting entry point for unfiltered inleakage to the control room.
- 24) The values for 10-720 hr are based on transport of fission products with dispersion to two CRAVS outside air intakes.
- 25) The unit vent stack is taken to be the release point for (1) containment leakage that is filtered by the Annulus Ventilation System, (2) containment bypass leakage, and (3) ESF leakage in the Auxiliary Building.
- 26) The 0-2 hr control room /Q is taken for the 2 hr period of maximum releases. The 2-8 hr control room /Q is taken for the remainder of the 0-8 hr time span. All releases were predicted to be at a maximum over a 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> time span within 0-8 hr.
- 27) One CRAVS outside air intake is taken to be open.
- 28) Both CRAVS outside air intakes are taken to be open.
- 29) The vent of the RWST is the release point for iodine released from the airspace following a design basis LOCA with assumed ESF System backleakage to the RWST.
- 30) Federal Guidance Report 11, cf. Reference 98.
- 31) Federal Guidance Report 12, cf. Reference 99.
- 32) All radiation doses given include the combined effects of containment leakage and ESF leakage both inside the Auxiliary Building and to the Refueling Water Storage Tank.
- 33) The DF for spray washout of particulates was calculated to reach 50 at the beginning of this interval.
- 34) The constituents to the control room TEDE from external sources are associated specifically with fission products accumulating on ventilation filters and fission products inside containment (cf. Section 1.8.1.19).
- 35) The backleakage may be routed either (1) completely to the bottom of the RWST, (2) completely to the top, or (3) partly to the bottom and partly to the top.
- 36) These values are applied to the backleakage mixed with inventory in the RWST. For backleakage to the top of the RWST, the iodine partition fraction via the airspace is set to 2E-5.

- 1. PCTMOD indicates this uncertainty is part of code and global model uncertainty.
- 2. PCTPD indicates this uncertainty is part of power distribution uncertainty.
- 3. PCTIC indicates this uncertainty is part of initial condition uncertainty.
- 4. Confirmed by analysis.
- 5. Assumed to be result of loop resistance uncertainty.
- 6. Sensitivity analysis concluded loss of offsite power is more limiting than assuming offsite power on (RCS pumps running).
- 7. Analysis was originally performed at 3445 MWt (3411 MWt plus 1% for conservatism). However, 1% for heat balance error was also added into the analysis, so it remains bounding for the MUR (3479 MWt). An MUR uprate evaluation was performed at 3469 MWt (101.7% of 3411 MWt) plus 0.3% uncertainty to derive the PCT penalty included in Table 15-82.

- 1. A separate set of analyses of radiological consequences of the design basis locked rotor and rod ejection accident was completed for each of the two nuclear units at Catawba. Only Unit 1 at Catawba is in operation with the four MOX LTAs. Therefore, radiation doses following the (18 APR 2009)
Catawba Nuclear Station UFSAR Table 15-81 (Page 2 of 2) design basis locked rotor and rod ejection accidents involving the MOX LTAs are reported for Unit 1 only. For the locked rotor and rod ejection accidents involving an all LEU core, the limiting radiation doses are associated with Unit 2.
- 2. One set of analyses of radiological consequences of the design basis LOCA, fuel handling accident, and weir gate drop that are bounding for both nuclear units at Catawba was completed.
- 3. TEDEs at the LPZ are not reported for the design basis fuel handling accident and weir gate drop.
In every case, they are bounded by the TEDEs at the EAB.
- 4. For the fuel handling accidents and weir gate drop involving MOX LTAs, it was assumed that both control room outside air intakes were open. For the fuel handling accidents and weir gate drop involving all LEU fuel, it was assumed that only one control room intake was open.
