Purpose This package determines RCS and steam generator isotopic concentrations that correspond to the technical specification specific activity limits 0.35 pCi/gm and 0.5 pCi/gm. These values are being prepared in support of a future change in the RCS specific activity T/S limit from 1.0 Ci/gm Also determined are the transient lodine spike T/S graph (pre-incident iodine spike) and the iodine spike appearance rates for use with concurrent iodine spikes.

RTL: n/a Form: RE 1.103 3 a92 MU Y [ nir==mne Lkpt ERS-SFL-96-012 b A H.m Physics Department page 2 DISCUSSION BVPS Unit 1 RCS and secondary activity are limited by technical specifications. 2 TS 3/4.4.8 speci-fies that the specific activity of the reactor coolant shall be limited to: a. s 1.0 Cl/ gram DOSE EQUIVALENT l-131, and b. s 100/E Cl/ gram in addition, the TS provides a graph of DOSE EQUIVALENT l-131 primary coolant specific activity limit versus percent rated thermal power for transient conditions. DOSE EQUIVALENT l 131 is defined as being that concentration of I-131 which alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of I 131,1-132,1133,1-134, and 1135 actually present. The thyroid dose conver-sion factors used for this calculation shall be based on ICRP-30. The basis of this TS will be revised A to reference DCFs based on ICRP-30 in lieu of those currently referenced. TS 3/4.7.1.4 specifies that the specific activity of the secondary coolant system shall be s 0.10 Ci/ gram DOSE EQUIVALENT l 131. Note that the technical specifications do not provide isotopic activity limits. However, such values are needed for various design basis radiological assessments. The Unit 1 UFSAR5 does not tabulate isotopic activities for the more significant radionuclides expected in the RCS and secondary side that correspond to 1.0 Ci/gm. These values were generated by SWEC15 as part of the control habitability effort in support of the Unit 2 licensing. USNRC Generic Letter 95-05, Voltage Based Repair Criteria for Westinghouse Steam Generator Tubes Affected by Outside Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking, provided an option for licensees to 5 reduce the RCS technical specification activity as a means of increasing allowable MSLB-induced primary-to-secondary leakage in implementing alternate tube plugging criteria. The generic letter provide sample RCS activity technical specifications. The generic letter does provide that reductions to below 0.35 pCi/gm require special justification with regard to lodine spike release rates. The purpose of this calculation package is to generate, for new proposed RCS activity T/S of 0.35 Ci/ gm and 0.5 Ci/gm DOSE EQUIVALENT l-131: RCS isotopic concentrations that correspond to both of these overall activity limits, a pre-incident spike concentrations SG liquid and vapor space isotopic concentrations that correspond to the secondary activity revised T/S transient I-131 activity graph lodine appearance rate factors for concurrent iodine spike cases a Although the secondary side equilibrium activity is a direct function of the RCS activity, the generic letter did not explicitly identify modifications to this technical specification as an option. Since the initial activity in the steam generators is a relatively minor contributor to offsite or control room dose, reduc-ing the 0.1 pCi/gm technical specification will not be pursued further herein. 1

SG Steam Concentrations The noble gas concentrations in the steam phase are a function of the noble gas release rate from the primary and the steaming rate of the generators. No holdup of noble gases is as-sumed. Thus, the noble gas concentrations are not dependent on the secondary activity, but rather are a function of the RCS activity. Note that the concentrations are based on all three steam generatdrs and as such, are applicable to the the main steam header. The concentrations are applicable to the activity in the steam phase in a single SG only if one assumes that the primary-to-secondary leakage is evenly distributed between SGs. 4', Primary-to-Secondary Leak Rate AING Tctal Steaming Rate

The flow rates in the let-down and charging system (which determines the purification flow rate) are based on relatively 3 cool, low pressure water. Thus, it is appropriate to assume a density of 1.0 gm/cm. The technical specification leak rate from the RCS is expressed in gallons per day.

Thus, it is appropriate to correct for density in this application. n 4

This assumption wasjustified on the basis of a comparison of Unit 1 UFSAR Table 148-5 and Unit 2 UFSAR Table 11.1-3, which tabu-late the assumptions used in calculating the RCS activities. The significant input param-eters in these two tables are comparable and it is reasonable to assume that the outputs would be comparable as well.

The Unit 2 value was 1.91E8 gm. Since the values in datum I were based on 1.91E8 grams, this latter value will be used herein. In support of the Unit 1 analysis for control room habitability, NED directed SWEC to use 3.9ES lbm as the RCS liquid volume. This is equal to 1.77E8 grams, or about 7% less than that established for Unit 2. TheJustification for this value was not documented. Although the smaller value has been used in several analyses performed since, it now seems appropriate to use the larger value in this application. CALCULATION 1.
