Enclosure SAFETY EVALUATION REPORT Haddam Neck Plant IPSAR Section 4.1.4(1) Emergency Procedures - Flooding 1.0 Introduction In Section 4.1.4(1) of the Integrated Plant Safety Assessment Report (IPSAR) for Haddam Neck, NUREG-0826, the staff reconsnended that the river level for initiation of emergency procedures for rising flood water be reduced. The licensee proposed to assess the time required to implement flood protection actions to determine whether the river levels selected to initiate various portions of the procedure are appropriate and to demonstrate that sufficient time is allowed by a walk-through of the procedures.
2.0 Discussion The staff observed a demonstration of installation of the flood protection devices at Haddam Neck in November 1983. This demonstration was intended primarily to verify system capability and availability of equipment and procedures rather than speed of installation. In fact some of the protection was partially installed prior to the demonstration, However, based on observations of licensee controls of procedures anJ equipment and on assessment of the required actions, the staff concludes that it is reasonable to expect that the protection devices could be installed within one shift (8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />) of flood warning.
The staff also reviewed the licensee's flood emergency procedures, as revised in June 1984 following a high river level event. This procedure, Abnormal Operating Procedure A0P 3.2-24, " Flooding of the Connecticut River", establishes the following:
"4.4 When forecasts indicate a level of 21.0 feet (MSL) will be reached and when the river reaches elevation 16.0 feet (MSL), dispatch personnel to install the following flood protection barriers as detailed in Figure 1 Attachment "A" to this procedure."
This step makes the licensee's response to flooding dependent on forecasted flood levels. Therefore, the staff evaluated the accuracy of the flood level l forecasts, the transfer of forecasted levels from upstream locations to the site and the timing requirements.
i 3.0 Evaluation
! 3.1 Prediction of Flood Levels by NWS. The National We I (NW5) River Forecast Center, Hartford, Connecticut yher Service
, issues flood l warnings and predicts flood levels at several locations along the M Actually located in Bloomfield, Connecticut, 3 miles north of Hartford's northern city limits.

i Connecticut River and its tributaries. These l on empirical relations between precipitation (predictions rainfall andare based snow),
measured upstream river flow and the predicted downstream river flow. There is no formal documentation of the present model configuration other than the computer program in the NWS inhouse computer in the Bloomington, Conn. office. Also, there is no formal documentation of the development of the program. From a telephone discussion (9/5/84) and visit to the NWC River Forecast Center (12/19/84) it was learned that the Connecticut River Basin flood forecastmodelwasdevelopedbetweenIg55and1965. The basin
, is divided into subareas of 250-500 mi for which unit hydrographs i
were developed using data from about 5000 storm events. A discharge i' from each st.barea is calculated from the measured precipitation, an antecedent precipitation index (API) and the unit hydrograph, and is then routed downstream with a Muskingum routing procedure.
When the river system is flooding all dams are assumed to store the flood flow and just release at the base flow rate. Information from about 100 precipitation gages and 12 river gaging stations is used in an interactive way during a flood event to refine the forecasts.
In general, the Connecticut River Basin flood forecasting system is analogous to one for the Susquehanna River Basin that has been described in good detail (Susquehanna River Basin Comission,1979).
When flow rate (i.e., cubic feet per second) has been forecasted for a particular location along the river, it is converted to a level of flooding by using a rating relation for that location, and that level is broadcast to the public.
As may be appreciated, such a forecast model has many possibilities for errors in arriving at the final prediction. The NWS has no error evaluation for their Connecticut River Basin model and thus are not able to provide any confidence limits for their predictions.
An error evaluation (Burn and McBean,1985) for a river flow forecasting model of the Sturgeon River gives some indication of what prediction accuracy coyld be expected. The Sturgeon River basin drains about 2,700 mi area in the Canadian shield region of northern Ontario. The Congecticut River basin above Haddam Neck has an area of about 10,900 mi (Franklin Research Center,1982). Thus the Sturgeon River basin is about one fourth the size of the Connecticut River basin and probably has more contribution to runoff from snow; however, the results of the error analysis for their Kalman filter model are indicative of what might be determined for '
NWS Connecticut River forecast model if it were to be rigorously analyzed. The Kalman filter model combines two independent estimates of system state _to produce an optimal or minimum variance estimate, and they have successfully used precipitation and streamflow measurements to update model parameters, noise component estimates and short-tenn forecasts (Haan et al.,1982). In a general sense, the NWS Connecticut River flood prediction model functions similarly to a Kalman filter model. The peak flow predictions had errors ranging from 2 to 19 percent with an average of 11 percent.
I
{
l For six selected flood events on the Connecticut River a comparison was made (Table 1) of the NWS predicted flood level and measured ,
i flood level at the Middletown (Bodkin Rock) gage which is 9.6 river l
- miles upstream of the plant. - The information in Table 1 shows that ;
predictions of flood levels varied from -17 to +15 percent from the i measured peak levels with a negative indicating a low prediction and a positive a high prediction. Errors in peak flow predictions cannot be compared directly with those of elevation predictions because of the rating relation between flow and stage (elevation).
Copies of the NWS flood forecasts, from which the infomation for Table 1 was obtained, are assembled in Appendix A.
3.2 Transfer of NWS Forecast to Haddam Neck. The NWS flood level prediction for Middletown needs to be converted into a discharge or flow rate (See Rating Relation, Appendix B) and then this flow value (without any attenuation) is transferred to the Haddam Neck site
! (9.6 river miles downstream). This discharge is converted back into '
a flood level by using a stage-discharge relation developed
, specifically for the river reach beside the plant. This rating relation and an evaluation of transferring flow values to the Haddam -
Neck site were made by the Licensee and their report is appended in ;
l Appendix B. In general additional errors can be introduced in translating flood levels to discharge and then back to flood levels.
L Magnitudes of these errors have not been quantified; thus additional
, margin must be considered to acconnodate these errors. i 3.3 Flood Warning Time. The information for the six selected events in Table I shows that nominal .24 and 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> flood forecasts are made.
- In general the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> forecast is a refinement and is improved over i the 48 hour5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> forecast. r

The licensee's Abnormal Operating Procedure AOP 3.2-24 calls for
- initial reactions to flood warnings received from " Convex" and "USGS River Forecasting Center" at a river level 12.0 ft (msl) or greater.
A minor point is that "USGS" should be corrected to NWS. Presently the Haddam Neck control room receives the NWS forecasts through the !
i Connecticut Valley Electric (Convex) or indirectly through the F public news media. Two memoranda (June 24, 1982 and July 20,1983) *
! cover the dissemination of weather infonnation from Convex to the
) power plant control room supervisor or operator. Presumably, floods
}'
are included among the events for which warnings would be conveyed to the control room operators, but they are not explicitly mentioned
. (See Appendix C for copies of these memos). ;
Connunication channels between the Haddam Neck control room and ,
Convex are varied and redundant (2 dedicated phone lines, 2
- restricted outside phone lines for which Convex has the numbers, i normal connercial phone line and a two-way radio connection). The
! staff- concludes that infonnation can be conveyed from Convex to the
! operators in the control room. However, there may be delays
! involved between receipt of warnings by Convex and their notification of the Haddam Neck operator. Since Convex concerns are
! primarily associated with power distribution and the influence of
[ '
severe weather on the power grid and transmission lines,-their focus is not on reconveying flood forecasts. The need for sending flood
forecasts to the control room operators could be made explicit in Convex's memoranda. A further improvement would be to have the control room operator contacted directly by the NWS with their flood forecast. The restricted phone numbers could be given to the NWS and used by them for a direct notification. The NWS provides such services to others. Another advantage from the direct contact with NWS Flood Forecast Center would be that they could provide the estimated discharge value at the Middletown gage which in turn could be used directly in the Haddam Neck rating relation for a prediction of flood level. This arrangement would eliminate the step of converting predicted flood levels at Middletown to discharge.
Since the plant has demonstrated that they can install the flood protection within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, flood warning times of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, even if there would be several hours of delay in conveying the warning to the plant operators, are adequate for providing the necessary flood protection at the plant. However, warning time could be improved by providing direct consnunication between the NWS and control room operator as discussed above.
4.0 Conclusions and Reconsnendations Based on review of the licensee's flood protection procedures and the forecasting capabilities, the staff concludes that Section 4.4 of AOP 3.2-24 should be revised to read "4.4 When forecasts indicate a level of 19.0 feet (MSL) will be reached and when...".
This change would direct implementation of flood protection barriers at a lower level than at present and is intended to ac;:ount for uncertainties in forecasting and transmittal of forecast information. Witn this change, the staff finds the licensee's procedures for responding to river flooding acceptable.
In addition, the staff offers the following reconinendations to improve the procedure:
a) Correct line 2.2 of AOP 3.2-24 by changing USGS to NWS.
b) Arrange for the NWS River Forecast Center to directly notify the Haddam Neck Control Room operator with their flood predictions for the Middletown gage site. 1 c) Arrange for the NWS River Forecast Center to give the operator the flood prediction at the Middletown gage in terms of discharge which in turn can be used directly with the Haddam Neck rating relation to detennine the forecasted flood level at the plant.
d) Revise the Convex memoranda to explicitly mention flood level forecasts and the appropriate dissemination of this information, e) Prepare appropriate rating relations and tables with
' instructions and attach to the A0P so that the flood level or flood discharge forecasts can inunediately be translated into flood levels at the plant.

Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D. C. 20535 Gentlemen: - Haddam Neck Plant SEP Topic Il-3.B, Flooding Potential and Protection Requirements On May 30,1985, the Staff requested that Connecticut Yankee Atomic Power Company (CYAPCO) provide a rating curve of river elevation vs. flow for the United States Geological Survey (USGS) gage on the Connecticut River at Bodkin Rock. On June 5,1985 we advised the Staff that this information had been requested from the USGS and would be forwarded to the Staff upon receipt. Attached is a copy of the information received from the USGS. Note that USGS has indicated that the stage elevation is affected by the tidal effects up to elevation 8.0 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL). We trust the Staff will find this information satisfactory. If you have additional questions, please contact us. Very truly yours, CONNECTICUT YANKEE ATOMIC POWER COMPANY

t . r EVALUATION OF CONNECTICUT RIVER FLOOD DATA TO ESTABLISH AN ESTIMATED STAGE-DISCHARGE CURVE FOR THE CONNECTICUT RIVER AT THE CONNECTICUT YANKEE SITE BACKGROUND The Connecticut Yankee (Haddam Neck) Nuclear Power Plant is located in the town of Haddam Neck, Connecticut, along side the east bank of the Connecticut River, approximately 19.5 miles up river from its confluence with Long Island Sound. The power plant presently adheres to a set of procedures for actions that must be taken upon receiving flood warning from CONVEX, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) River Forecasting Center, or upon observation of river level approaching site grade level (21.0 feet mean sea level).
; PURPOSE l - The purpose of the evaluation is to establish both an estimated stage-discharge curve for the Connecticut River at Connecticut Yankee (CY) and an estimated relationship between flow and travel time from upstream points to CY.
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS Evaluation of the historical (Reference 1) and theoretical flood i data (Reference 2) for the Connecticut River between. Thompsonville and Connecticut Yankee plant has resulted in the following exhibits.
# Comparison of peak flows for the Connecticut
- 1. Exhibit 1:
River (based on historical flood data).
- 2. Exhibit 2: Approximate time of travel from various gaging stations to CY.
- 3. Exhibit 3: Estimated stage-discharge curve for Connecticut River at CY (based on historical flood data).
Review of the historical flood data (Reference 1) indicates that there is a large flood plain effect (significant river channel storage) at the Hartford and Middletown locations. Consequently, the time of travel of peak river flows from Bartford to CY increases significantly for flows between 150,000 and 275,000 cfs representing the range when the flood plain effect is the greatest. _ , . - - - --. , , , _ - . - . - - , .--___,e
Using the information from Exhibits 1 and 1 (based on USGS historical flood data) and Reference 3, the estimated stage-discharge curve for the Connecticut River at CY was prepared (Exhibit used 3). evaluations to prepare the curve is not conclusive in these It is important to note, however, that the data since,according to USGS, storm pattern and intensity variations can have a significant effect on the results.
