Question 1: Section 1.2 of the TER states that " criticality concerns associated with the use of lead shields around the canisters is addressed in Attachment 1", and that " criticality concerns associated with a drained spent fuel pool is addressed in ".

' THI-2 Transfer System Criticality Technical Report, and Attachment 2, Assessment of a Drained Pool Scenario, have not been provided for NRC staff review.

Response

The analyses are currently in their final stages and will be provided to the NRC upon their completion. This information is scheduled for submittal to the NRC in August.

Question 2: What is the maximum predicted radiolytic gas generation rate in a canister? What is the basis for this predicted gas generation rate? Has the possibility of the generation of gases other than H2 and 02 been considered, such as those gases resulting from radiolytic decomposition of organic contaminants in the RCS?

Response

The anximum predicted gas generation rate in a canister has been determined by two separate models; (1) the maximum theoretical gas generation rate and (2) the maximum realistic gas generation rate.

The maximum theoretical gas generation rate was determined by Rockwell Hanford Operations (RHO) in their document RHO-WM-EV-7 (GEND-051) for purposes of developing the catalytic recombiner bed design. The maximum realistic gas generation rates were determined by GPU for purposes of predicting canister internal pressures during periods when the canisters are water solid.

Both models are based on the Turner paper, "Radiolytic Decomposition of Water in Water-Moderated Reactors Under Accident Conditions", referenced in the RHO report. The basic relationship is:

~,

2=(W)(F)(G)(r)8.4x10-3 liters / hour H

where:

F = fraction of Y and 5 energy absorbed in water G=H2 generation value in moles /100 eV r = ratio of peak to average decay heat energy in the fuel debris W = ionizing radiation per canister 8.4 x 10-3 = unit conversions For the maximum theoretical generation, the above factors are maximized as follows:

o W - the maximum quantity of fuel' debris in any canister, not including residual water weight or weighing accuracy, is

~

assumed.

(W = 54.2) 0082Y

)

o F - The fraction of Y and 8 energy absorbed is conservatively high and large amounts of water are also assumed to be available for absorbtion which is in excess of what is possible in the canisters.

(F = 0.2)

~

o G - The hydrogen gas generation value is based on a) completely turbulent / boiling conditions when the radiolytic gases are instantly removed from the generation site and b) no build up of hydrogen overpressure which tends to retard radiolysis. (G = 0.44) o r - The ratio of peak-to-average decay heat energy in the fuel is based on the most active region of an undamaged core.

This assumes the fuel is intact and not scattered to other regions.

(r = 1.9)

For the maximum realistic generation of hydrogen and oxygen, the worst case realistic factors for the damaged TMI core are used as follows:

o W - The maximum quantity of fuel debris expected in any canister is used which includes allowances for residual water and weighing accuracy.

(W = 50) o F - The fraction of Y and 8 energy absorbed is based on the maximum amount of water possible in an actual canister.

(F = 0.07) o G - The hydrogen gas generation value is based on the actual worst case core debris conditions expected in a canister which includes lower temperature, quiescent conditions.

(G = 0.12) o r - The ratio of peak to average decay heat energy in the fuel debris is based od the worst case conditions in the damaged TM1 core. (r = 1.4)

/

The resulting hydrogen / oxygen generation rates for the two models are:

Max. Theoretical Max. Realistic liter / hour liter / hour i

7.6 x 10-2 5.0 x 10-3 H2 3.8 x 10-2 2.5 x 10-3 02 The generation of other gases was not considered.

Since the amount of contaminants in the RCS is small, the generation of other gases from the radiolytic decomposition of these j

, contaminants is not expected to'be significant.

5 0082Y

Question 3: What is the minimum volume of recombiner catalyst necessary to assure a recombination rate equal to the maximum hydrogen generation rate? How much catalyst will be inserted in each canister and how will it be distributed within the canister to assure that the minimum volume needed is not immersed in the residual water regardless of canister orientation?

[

Response

A total of 200 g of catalyst is initially installed in each canister. Then extra catalyst is installed in the beds to fill remaining voids. The 200 g quantity was determined from the catalyst tests run by RHO (RHO-WM-EV-7, Feb. 85) which used 100 g and a H /02 generator which simulated the maximum gas 2

generation stated in the report of 0.076 liter /hr hydrogen.

Additionally, the beds were designed to meet the shape and volume requirements established by the tested catalyst beds.

200 g of catalyst are installed in the canister in order to be assured that 100 g is above the maximum water level for all canister orientaticas. 100 g is at either end of the canister and the bed arrangement at each end is symmetrical.

Conservatisms:

(1) It is unlikely that the canister water level would be above half after dewatering in the fuel handling building.

(2) There is an average 20% excess catalyst installed in each canister.

H /02 generation rates are based on the (3) 2 maximum theoretical generation rates defined in the response to question #2.

Question 4: Assuming stoichiometric H /02 generation in the canisters 2

without recombination, at what internal canister pressure would a flammable gas mixture el(st in the canister? Provide this information for both the ficoded and dewatered canisters.

If ignition of the gases occurred inside the canisters, what would the effect be on' canister integrity?

Response

It should be,noted that'GPUN's position is that the catalytic recombiners have been shown to be effective under the conditions expected and that a flammable mixture would not exist inside the canister unless the catalyst was submerged. When the catalyst is submerged, only a small volume is available for gases to collect. Hence this situation does not present a problem.

The evolution of H /02 gas will occur at a 2 to 1 ratio 2

without recombination at all pressures.

In the case of a dewatered canister, the pressure at which a flammable mixture

, exists will be approximately 15'psig, which assumes:

o cover gas is 100% argon at 13 psig o canisters do not leak 0082Y

o lower limit of flammability for H /02 mixture in argon 2

occurs when H2+O2 concentration is 10.6 v/o (" Limits of Flammability of Gases and Vapors," H. F. Coward and G. W.

Jones, Bulletin 503, Bureau of Mines, March 1949)

~~

Additionally, a flammable mixture can exist at lower pressures if the amount of the argon cover gas is reduced.

In the case of a flooded canister, no cover gas is present, therefore a flammable mixture can occur at any pressure if voids are produced.

The ultimate stresses will be reached for various canister components at the estimated pressures listed below:

o canister shell - 2160 psi o fuel canister bolts - 2900 psi o threaded connections - 2500 psi The maximum pressure that can be reached inside the canister prior to a hydrogen ignition, because of the relief valve, is approximately 42 psia. This pressure includes the 25 psig set pressure and the 5 feet of water submergence. Considering the large margin that exists between this pressure and the ultimate stress pressures (i.e., approximately a factor of 50), the overpressurization resulting from the ignition of hydrogen within the canister is not expected to affect the overall canister integrity.

Question 5: Assuming an ignition source, what are the effects of ignition of i

the gases vented through the relief valves? In particular, can backflash into the canister occur and if so what is the effect on canister integrity?

Response

Canisters are handled ei'ther underwater or in transfer casks or shields. A conservative calculation has been performed to assess the effects of a bydrogen burn within the canister transfer shield assuming the canister was water solid. This was considered to be the most credible of hydrogen ignition scenarios.

If the canister was not water solid, the recombiner catalyst would prevent canister overpressurization and consequently the relief valve should never open. The major assumptions used in the calculation were:

o The source of hydrogen was a water-filled knockout canister 3

(useable volume - 9.10 ft ) saturated with hydrogen in solution. Water was assumed to fill the entire useable volume, o The canister relief valve opened ~at 25 psig and remained open.

'o All hydrogen discharged from the canister burned completely within the transfer shield.

0082Y

The results of this calculation were that the pressure increase within the transfer shield would be limited to less than 5.0 psi. Additionally there are no flammables within the cask or shields.

Consequently the canister and canister handling equipment should not be affected.

~

Assuming a hydrogen burn occurs external to the canister, a backflash into the canister would be theoretically possible, but not likely since the burn would have to exactly coincide with an open relief valve. Any burn inside the canister would affect the canister as stated in question #4.

Question 6: What is the design basis for the setpoint of the 15 psig relief valve? What is the effect of submergence pressure on the relief setpoint?

Response

The setpoint of the relief valve has been changed to 25 psig, consequently the question is responded to in terms of 25 psig, rather than 15 psig.

The relief valve has a setpoint of 25 psig for the following reasons:

The canisters are designed for 150 psig per ASME.Section VIII.

Overpressure protection of the canisters as required by ASME Section VIII is afforded by the systems in which the vessels are installed. These systems are the Defueling Water Cleanup System and the vacuum system which have operating pressures less than the design pressure of the canister and also have relief valves meeting the requirements of ASME Section VIII.

o Based on the current design functions of the canister the 25 psig relief valve serves only as a redundant relief path for overpressurization due to gas generation.

In this situation any set pressure between 15 psig and 150 psis could have been selected.

It is advantageous however to keep the first relief valve setpointjos low as possible to reduce the total quantity l

of any gases which may evolve inside the canister and also to facilitate connecting and disconnecting the various fittings on l

the canist,ers.

e i

o Note that a low setp'oint is advantageous for the unlikely scenarios postulated in questions #4 and #5.

The fact that the canisters will be operated under approximately 5 feet of water will not affect the sage pressure setpoint of the relief valve, however it will cause the absolute pressure inside the canister to be greater by 5 feet of water head at the point at which the relief valve lifts. This has no adverse effect on

, canister operation, but rather,*it is a benefit to have 5 feet of l

submergence during storage at TMI since it increases the margin between absolute cover gas pressure and absolute relief valve setpoint.

4 Question 7: What is the setpoint on the backup relief valve?

Response

The backup relief valve is set at 150 psig, which is the canister design pressure.

~

Question 8: What are the relief capacities of both the 15 psig relief valves

~

and the backup relief valves, and what are the safety classifications on the valves?

Response

The setpoint of the relief valve has been changed to 25 psig, consequently the question is responded to in terms of 25 psig, rather than 15 psig.

The relief valve capacities are not a significant design parameter for the canisters, since the capacity of even the smallest relief valve available would be very large when compared to the gas generation volumes. The capacities of the relief valves chosen are:

25 psig-10 SCFM 150 psig-65 SCFM The relief valves are classified as Nuclear Safety Related (NSR).

Question 9: Explain the basis for your assumption that the first or second opening of the relief valve will expel enough water to expose the recombiner catalyst.

Response

The catalyst beds tre located at the extreme ends of the canisters. Since the canisters will be operated vertically, evolved gases will migrate to the top of the canisters and the catalyst beds. See attached sketches.

Question 10: What provisions will be in place to contend with activity released to the pool due,to a stuck open relief valve or periodic relief valve opening prior to operability of the Defueling Water Cleanup System? j

Response

Prior to the DWCS becoming fully operational, processing of water l

in the fuel tracsfer canal (FTC) and the spent fuel pool "A" will be accomplis'hed, if required, by routing the water through SDS l

via the FTC drainage system. A direct return path to the FTC from SDS may be provided by using portions of the DWCS Fuel Canal / Spent Fuel Pool Cleanup System.

Monitoring of the pool water activity and dose rates in the pool area will be routinely conducted to assess the need to process the pool water.

Question 11: How long will it take for a dewatered canister to reach design pressure in the event of stoichiometric gas generation with recombiner failure? How long will a dewatered canister remain stagnant prior to commencement of monitoring for water inleakage and pressure build up.

~~

1

Response

Since the canisters are equipped with a 25 psig relief valve, they should never reach the design pressure of 150 psig.

If however this valve is neglected, the canisters will reach the design pressure of 150 psig as listed below:

days Fuel 4286 Knockout 9375 Filter 32609 These values were determined based on the following assumptions:

o Gas generation rates based on the realistic factors developed in question #2 and on the anticipated debris loadings in each type of canister.

t o No recombination o Canisters are dewatered (100 pounds of water assumed to remain) o Void volumes based on conservative debris loadings in each type of canister.

o Constant void volume and constant temperature.

Note that since the different debris loadings were assumed for each type of canister, the gas generation rates and void volumes for each type of canister were different.

Theamountoftimeacan[sterremainsstagnantpriorto commencement of genitoring to determine pressure build-up is dependent on a number of variables, some of which are not known at the present time. The major determinants are (1) the availability.of the dewatering station, (2) the generation rate of filled ca'nisters fr,om the reactor building, (3) the actual monitoring time required to determine the status of the canister.

The purpose of the monitoring program is to determine j

pressure build-up, thereby, verifying that the recombiner is functioning properly. The fact that water inleakage can also be l

determined is an added advantage that may be useful. To properly monitor for pressure build-up the canister should be in relative temperature equilibrium with the "A" SFP.

For this reason, it is undesirable to start a monitoring 'rogram in less than 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> p

after arrival in "A" pool. Because of these factors, the date by j which the monitoring must commence is rather arbitrary, but all j

dewatering. During the stagnant period the canisters would be visually monitored for signs of bubble formation once a day or if necessary once a shift.

Question 12: Section 3.1 of the TER states " examination of the shroud

~~

subjected to drop tests indicated that the inner wall (protecting

~-

the boral plates from exposure to a corrosive environment) is resistant to debris impacts and scrapes. What testing / analysis has been done to assure that the inner wall can resist puncture from dropping a small diameter object such as an individual fuel pin?

Response

The inspection of the stainless shrouds after the canister drop tests demonstrated that only distortions and galling were caused by the sharp edged steel shop scraps used as simulated debris.

No penetrations into the shroud occurred using this simulated debris.

Because of the shape and material used to simulate the debris, the test results (i.e., galling) are felt to be more severe than expected during actual use. These observations demonstrated the shrouds to be resistant to puncture and suggested that additional testing or analysis need not be performed to show this to be the case.

In B&W report 77-1156372-00, which gives the results of the drop test, the shroud cladding is characterized as ductile, tough and not easily penetrated. Based on the above, it is concluded that core debris free-falling or placed into a fuel canister will not impart significant galling of the shroud. Additionally, there is presently no way to create a significant horizontal load on the shroud since there are no plans for forcing or compacting debris into the canisters.

Question 13: Section 3.1 of the TER states?

"Although not expected...,

leakage of the core material from the canister...is allowed provided that the contents left in the canister remain suberitical."

If the contents $ hat leak fall in contact with an adjacent canister, what is the effect of k gg of the adjacent canister.

e If the leaking material falls into a dry environment such as the shallow end of the FTC-or the truck bay, what is the effect of a pyrophoric event?

Response

Because of design of the canister transfer shield and the fuel transfer cask, the potential for dropping a canister is highly remote.

Based on the B&W drop tests, even if a canister would fall, it is not expected that leakage would occur.

However, if material leaks from a canister and comes in contact with an adjacent canister, the leaked material will be under water in either the fuel transfer canal or"the spent fuel pool. The boron concentration in both of these locations will be > 4350 ppm.

,With this boron concentration, the RCS Criticality Report demonstrated that the fuel in any configuration, will remain suberitical (i.e., keff 1 0.99).

It should be noted that the 0082Y

0.99 limit is not in the present revision of the TER, it will however be added as the accident keff criterion in the next revision of the TER.

Any existing debris fines which are small (less than 50 um) have been oxidized as a result of their submersion since the accident. The apparent concern for pyrophoric reaction resulting from canister failure involves the existence of unoxidized metallic particles whose diameters are less than 50 microns that may have been generated during defueling mechanical operations.

The following basic calculations illustrate that if such metallic fines were generated the newly created surfaces would rapidly oxidize and hence negates a pyrophoric event. Furthermore, the oxidation of these newly generated particles surfaces is very rapid. Two estimates for the time to form an oxygen monolayer (oxide surface) on a zirconium particle surface are presented.

A) Utilize the existing Steam-Zircaloy parabolic rate law experimental data; specifically use the tabulated rate constants (reference *) that will be evaluated at the lower temperature limit applicable for the listed reaction kinetics (i.e.,

9000C).

It should be recalled that the activation energy for a monolayer of oxygen on a newly created metal surface is usually regarded as zero. Hence, the rate constant, K, evaluated from the parabolic rate law may be considered as a conservative value with respect to time for reaction. The parabolic rate law may be expressed as follows.

W2 = Kt where W = Mass of metal reacted per unit l

surface area of metal (agZr/ca )

K = Rate constant evaluated from steam oxidation data at the lower temperature limit (agZr/cm )2 2

t = Time (sec)

Utilizing data f om the reference

  • and the lower temperature 2

limit of 9000C corresponds to a K = 0.1 (agZr/cm )2, The mass of' zirconium _in the surface layer of a given diameter sphere and corresponding surface area are required to evaluate the time for monolayer oxidation. The calculation may be carried out as follows. The density for zirconium is approximately 6.4 3

gZr/cm. The surface-to-volume ratio, density, and corresponding mass for a sphere may be expressed as follows:

S/V = 6/D, p = m/V, and a = S p D/6

  • reference:

H. Ocken, R. R. BiEderman, C. R. Hann, and R. E.

Westerman, " Evaluation Models of Zircaloy Oxidation in Light of Recent Experiments", Zirconium In The Nuclear Industry, ASTM Special Technical Publication 681 (1979).

0082Y

The volume of Zr in the outer surface layer may be estimated from the general formulation for spherical volume, i.e.,

V = (4/3) (3.1416) ((r )3 - (ri)3) o where r = Radius of spherical debris particle (ca) o r1 = r -rZr = Difference between r and the o

o diameter of a Zr atom in a metallic structure with a coordination of 12 (i.e.,

rZr = 1.6 E-8 cm).

Therefore for a 10 micron diameter particle (sphere) the mass of Zr in the outer surface corresponds to a = VP = 6.4 E-10 mgZr and 2

m/S = 2.1 E-4 agZr/cm.

Therefore, W2 = 4.2 E-8 (agZr/cm2)2 and the rate constant evaluated above from the parabolic rate law corresponds to 0.11 2

(agZr/cm )2/ cec; hence, the time for monolayer oxidation is approximately 4 E-7 seconds.

B) Another basic calculation for the time of monolayer oxidation may be performed based on kinetic theory which may be approximated by the following formulation:

n = (3.5 E22) (P/(MT)1/2) 2 where n = collision rate in number of molecules per em per second P = Pressure M = Molecular weight T = Temperature therefore, if assfume a 50% sticking efficiency for oxygen molecules on the zirconium surface, the time for monolayer oxidation of a 10 micro,n particle (sphere) corresponds to approximately 1 E-8 seconds.

Consequently, the simplifed calculations above indicate that less than a microsecond (1 E-6 seconds) is required to react a sonolayer of oxygen on a reactive metal (Zr) surface. Now, if one were to assume that these calculations are in error by six orders of magnitude (i.e., 1 E6) the resultant time for oxidation of the metal surface is still miniscule compared to the time available for oxidation of these surfaces in the canister prior to accidental dropping (i.e., the approximate time from filter i loading until canister transfer is 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />).

0082Y

~

Therefore, the assumption that all newly created surfaces of a reactive metal will be oxidized prior to canister integrity failure is established. Furthermore, the Pilling-Bedworth ratio indicates that successive layers of oxygen are necessary before spalling becomes an important issue with respect to new surface creation. Also, the thermodynamic relationships for oxide formation indicate that decomposition of the metal oxide is not energetically favored.

Therefore, the assumption that all newly created surfaces generated by mechanical means during defueling operations will be I

partially oxidized prior to any possible canister failure which subsequently reduces the pyrophoric potential significantly as continued oxidation is permeability (and/or diffusion) limited.

The smaller the particle diameter (i.e., the greater the surface-to-volume ratio) the more extensive the anticipated oxidation relative to the overall particle mass. Consequently, for the TM1-2 system the situation can be viewed as follows:

o the larger the particle diameter (greater than 50 microns) the greater the heat dissipation capability (low pyrophoric potential) o the smaller the particle diameter (less than 50 microns) the more fully oxidized the particle (low pyrophoric potential) because of the availability of oxygen in the system.

In conclusion, the potential for ignitica and a sustained pyrophoric reaction at THI-2 is not possible during planned activities, and postulated accidents, associated with defueling and the transfer of defueling canisters.
