October 10, 1986 David Ward, Chairman Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards 1717 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20555
Dear Chairman Ward:
During your deliberations on the status of Seabrook Station probabilistic safety analysis, I understand you will be reviewing the matter of reducing in radius the Emergency Planning Zone' from ten (10) miles to just two(2) miles.
I would forcefully suggest that an advisory opinion in favor of such a concept flies in the face of the lessons learned from the Three Mile Island accident and recently confirmed by the
( Chernobyl catastrophe. Such an opinion ~would violate the technical basis for the N..R. C. 's and F.E.M. A. 's -joint declaration of -
Criteria for Preparation and Evaluation'of Radio' logical Emergency
'hesponse Plans and Preparedness in Support of Nuclear Power Plants (NUREG-0654/ FEMA-REP-1). And such an opinion, if respected by the Commissioners, would work to destroy the credibility of the N.R.C. as an independent, regulatory body.
For the record, I am unequivocally opposed to any reduction in the radius of the' Emergency Planning Zone.
Thank you for your anticipated courtesy and consideration.
Sincerely, N cholas Mavroules Member of Congress ,
NM/mg.

- 1. SEISMIC FRAGILITY UPDATE Seismic sequences dominate release categories S2 and S6 in the Risk Management and Emergency Planning Study (RMEPS). A separate submittal on the principal contribution to early healtn risk explains how these release categories contribute to early health risk. This write-up explains how the seismic fragility update is expected to change tne frequency of S2 and S6. A complete requantification will be included in the probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) update now in progress and i planned for completion in 1987.
In a complete seismic risk analysis, there is first performed a point estimate analysis using the plant event trees that are quantified for several discrete values of ground acceleration. From tne point estimate ,
results, dominant sequences initiated by seismic events are identified; then, these sequences are reanalyzed using a special computer code called SEIS4 In SEIS4, the seismicity curves and fragility curves are convoluted and uncertainties in these curves are propagated to obtain uncertainty distributions on the final result, whicn is eitner a core
-melt or plant damage state frequency contribution. In the following approximate analysis, the point estimate step is bypassed, so some assumptions are made atout dominant sequences. Hence, these results are only rough ape oximations and should only be used for order-of-magnitude estimates. A complete reanalysis of seismic events is currently in progress and is planned for completion in 1987.
1.1 RELEASE CATEGORY S2 This release category is dominated by earthquake and transient initiating events. These sequences can be simply represented as OG*(OT + DG + SSPS)
(1) where OG = Offsite Power Fragility
. UT = Diesel Generator Day Tank Fragility OG = Diesel Generator Fragility SSPS = Solid State Protection System (SSPS) Fragility (actually 120V AC power panel required for SSPS success) and only seismic unavailabilities are included.
Also, earthquake and large loss of coolant accident (LOCA) initiating events provide a small contribution and can be represented as LL*0G*(UT + DG + SSPS) (2) where LL = Large LOCA Fragility 1

Equation (1) was quantified with the SEIS4 computer code and resulted in the following annual core melt frequency:
Mean = 2.84 x 10-5 Variance = 2.24 x 10-9 Based on the fragility update, SSPS and DT can be dropped from the model, based on significantly higher capacities. However, a relay chatter fragility at a relatively lower capacity has been identified in the 4,160V switchgear. This chatter could have a negative effect; e.g., trip out the diesels. Until the consequences of this chatter are evaluated, it is assumed that the chatter fails both diesels. Therefore ,
Equation (1) can be changed as follows:
OG*(chatter + UG) (3) where Chatter = Relay Chatter Fragility (4,160V switcngear)
Quantifying equations for annual core melt frequency with SEIS4 results in '
Mean = 1.8 x 10-6 Variance = 9.58 x 10-10 Comparing the quantification of Equations (1) and (3) shows a slight reduction (less than a factor of 2) in frequency. However, this assumes the chatter fails the diesels without recovery. An ongoing relay chatter
- review will determine whether this particular chatter is a real concern.
In addition. this review will determine whether there are any other relay chatters that should be considered in the model.
1.2 < RELEASE CATEGORY S6 Ths release category is dominated by earthquake and transient initiating e nts. These sequences can be simply represented as j N0G*SSPS (4) l where N0G = Offsite Power Available (negation of UG - fragility)
As described above under release category S2, the solid state protection system can be dropped from tne model. Therefore, the simple model in Equation (4) would go to zero. To actually determine the new
$6 frequency, the whole plant model needs to be requantified and unraveled to obtain new dominant sequences and frequencies. However, the trend is a reduced frequency unless the ongoing relay chatter review identifies new sequences.

PRINCIPAL CONTRIBUTORS TO EARLY HEALTH HISK AT SEA 8R00K STATION The purpose of this note is to describe the principal contributors to early health risk at Seabrook Station, as determined in the original probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) in 1983 (PLG-0300), in the PSA updates of 1985 (PLG-0432), and in tne sensitivity study (PLG-0465). Tne risk measures of interest here are the early fatality risk curves and the frequency of exceedance of dose and distance curves for the whole body doses of 200 rem, 50 rem, 6 rem, and I rem.

- 1. SSPSA RESULTS (1983) 1.1 EARLY FATALITY RISK CURVES The only results available for-early health risk in the Seabrook Station Probabilistic Safety Assessment (SSPSA) (PLG-0300) assume a lu-mile
, evacuation zone. The contributors to risk can be expressed in a number 1
of different ways; e.g., by an accident sequence or by accident sequences grouped in different ways. Alternative ways to group accident sequences are to group the individual sequences by initiating event, by. plant damage state, and by release category. A graphic display of how sequences grouped by release category contribute to the mean risk of early fatalities in the original PSA is shown in Figure 1, whicn is taken from Figure 13.2-la in PLG-0300. As seen in this figure, release ,
, category S6 (large isolation failure or bypass) dominates tne entire curve, S2 (small isolation failure) makes a small contribution, and all other categories make negligible contributions that are at frequency levels below 10-9 per reactor year. Note that the mean risk curve,
- . whose contributions are being discussed here, is the mean of a family of i surves that characterize uncertainty in the risk estimate. This family is shown in Figure 2, which is reproduced from Figure 13.1-ba in i.
PLG-0300. The fact that the mean curve falls well outside the median
- (.50) risk curve indicates large uncertainties. These uncertainties are due to uncertainties in estimating the accident frequencies, source terms, and site model parameters.
, A tabular representation of the information in Figure 1 is provided in l- Table 1, which is adopted from Table 13.2-7a in PLG-0300. This table shows that more than 99% of the mean risk curve comes from release category S6 Most of the remaining contribution comes from S2. Only in
~
the extreme right hand tail, at frequencies below 10-9 per reactor year, does another category appear, S1 (early containment rupture due to
, steam explosion, early overpressure, or external missile).
l j The next step in breaking down the SSPSA risk contributors is to examine the contribution of sequences grouped by initiating event. Because nearly all of the early health risk comes from S6 and a small coptribution factor, S2, it is more efficient to confine our search to -
these release categories. The initiating events that make significant contributions to S6 and S2 are provided in the table below, which was adapted from Table 13.2-Sa in PLG-0300. As can be seen, release category 56, which indicates early fatality risk, is, in turn, dominated by the interfacing system loss of coolant accident (LOCA) (V-sequence).

In a similar fashion, accident sequences can be grouped with respect to plant damage states (sometimes referred to as a bin). The following is the plant damage state breakdown of the S6 and S2 release categories.

In 9mparing the previous two tables, note that 100% of the interfacing
' systems LOCAs were modeled as IF states. Hence, of the 24% of the seismic contribution to S6, 21% terminated in plant damage state 3F, 2%
! in IF, and 1% in 7F. Hence, most of the overall risk contribution comes from the interfacing system LOCA initiator and plant damage state IF.
Essentially all the remainder are seismically initiated sequences ending in plant damage state 3F.
- See Table 1-2 in the Seabrook Station Risk Management and Emergency Planning Study (RMEPS) _(PLG-0432) for definitions. Numbers denote containment and reactor coolant system conditions at time of reactor vessel melt-through; letters denote status of containment systems and leak paths. F states are isolation failures or bypasses more than 3 inches in diameter; FP states are isolation failures less than 3 inches in diameter.
e
The final step in breaking down the early health risk is to examine specific accident sequences. In the SSPSA, an accident sequence is a single path that can be traced through the plant event trees from the point of entry (tne initiating event) to the point of termination (tne plant damage state). As with other PRAs, the interfacing system LOCA was analyzed as a single sequence. That is, the event was analyzed as an initiating event and assigned directly to the most severe plant damage state considered in the study and denoted as IF. This reflects the conservative assumption that multiple failures of the interfacing valves automatically result in a core melt and early large containment bypass.
All other initiating events were modeled tnrough the plant event trees, which include more than 4.5 billion sequences counting all the initiating events, tne plant damage states, and paths connecting them througn the plant event trees. Therefore, the above contributions from the .
V-sequence are from a sin come from many sequences.gle sequence, whereas the seismic contributions The nature of the specific sequences initiated by seismic events is next described. Of the seismically induced transients that make up 22% of the frequency of release category S6, the single sequence having the greatest frequency makes up only about one-fourth of this contribution and was analyzed as follows.
Event Frequency Earthquake Occurs (.3g) 1.1 x lod / yea r Offsite Power Does Not Fail .3S

Solid State Protection Fails .041 Charging Pumps fail .88 Containment is Initially in Purge Mode .10
' Emergency Core Cooling System, Containment Isolation, and Containment Sprays Fail [ dependent failures resulting from loss of solid state protection system (SSPS)] 1.0 Other Equipment Does Not Fail .86 Total 1.2 x 10-7/ yea r The remaining three-fourths of the seismic sequences in S6 are made up from a large number of sequences, some involving station blackout and others involving failures of other equipment.
In a similar fashion, the seismic contributors to release category S2 are also spread over many sequences. The single most frequent sequence in this category is a seismically induced loss of offsite power and failure of both diesels due to either seismic causes or independent causes. Inis sequence appears several times in the scenario identification tables (in Section 13.2 of PLG-0300) once for each discrete range of ground acceleration. The total frequency of this sequence summed over all values of ground acceleration is 6.9 x 10-6 per reactor year, or about 40% of the total release category frequency.
In summary, the early health risk curves in the SSPSA, which were only performed for a 10-mile evacuation zone, were dominated by the interfacing LOCA sequence (about 76% contribution to the mean exceedance frequency in the risk curves). Most of the remaining contributions come from seismically induced transient events with failure to isolate tne ,
containment either through the purge lines (the Sb sequences) or through the reactor coolant pump seal return line (the 52 sequences).
1.2 DOSE VERSUS DISTANCE CURVES At the time this note was prepared, the work to reconstruct the dose versus distance curves that correspond with the SSPSA results for source terms and accident frequencies had not been completed. it is anticipated that, when these curves are completed, they will show dominance of release category S6, a significant contribution from S2, and very little, if any, appreciable contribution from any other release category. As noted earlier, S6 is dominated by the interfacing systems LOCA (761) and, to a lesser extent, by seismically induced transients with a failed open purge line. When the SSPSA dose versus distance curves are completed, they will be provided under separate cover.

- 2. PSA UPDATE RESULTS (RISK MANAGEMENT AND EMERGENCY PLANNING STUDY, 1985) 2.1 EARLY FATALITY RISK CURVES In the RMEPS update of the Seabrook PSA, the following changes were made that had an impact on the risk levels and the ordering of the risk contributors.
e Plant Model Changes Item 1. The single sequence interfacing LOCA model was replaced by a two-event tree model, one for suction side and one for injection side residual heat removal / reactor coolant system ,
(RHR/RCS) interfacing valve ruptures. This led to a reduction in the frequency of plant damage state IF and the addition of three new plant damage states (IFV, IFPV, and 7FPV).
Two plant damage states (1FPV and 7FPV) were added to model new
,, scenarios with a submerged RHR pump seal bypass. This, in turn, led to the introduction of a new release category, 57, which takes credit for decontamination and scrubbing in the source term determination. Plant damage state IFV contains interfacing LOCAs resulting from unsubmerged piping failures.
Item 2. A conservatism in the treatment of certain seismically initiated seque1ces in release category S6 (plant damage states IF, 3F, and 7F) was eliminated. In the updated results, credit was taken for loss of instrument air to the air-operated valves (A0Vs) in the purga lines on loss of offsite power; hence,
_ a high probability of purge isolation valve closures in these instances. This resulted in a shift in some of the frequency of release category S6 to S2 because, when the large purge valves are assumed to close, there remain small open. lines with motor-operated valves that fail in these same sequences. There i still remain some seismic sequences in S6 with the purge isolation failure. Those that remain either involve a no loss of f offsite power condition or mechanical failure of the purge valves.
Item 3. In support of the effort to optimize plant technical i
specifications (PLG-0431), the PSA systems modeled were revised i
to incorporate revisions to the technical specifications and a more complete treatment of common cause failures. This led to many minor changes to individual sequence frequencies, with the most significant change being an increase to the unavailability of the primary component cooling system. This led to a slight increase {ncoremeltfrequencyfrom2.3x10-4 to j 2.7 x 10 , most of which occurred in plant damage state 80.
2 4 -
Item 4 The updated results take credit for recovery of certain j containment systems (principally the containment building spray) i during core melt scenarios initiated by loss of offsite power and 6
rvGrictvnnrvt
involving a station blackout. Both the original and updated results took credit for recovery of electric power prior to and.
in prevention of core melt. This new recovery action results in a small shif t in frequency from release category S3 (gradual containment overpressure) to Sh (containment intact). This change does not appreciably affect the results of the RMEPS or sensitivity studies since neither S3 nor Sb contributes to early health risk with at least I mile of evacuation.
e Containment Model Changes --
Item 5 Uncertainties in source terms were reassessed for all release categories with the net effect of a reduction in the mean source terms for all categories.
- Item 6 A new release category and three new plant states for interfacing system LOCA scenarios were added.
Item 7. Interfacing system LOCAs resulting in unsubmerged RHR piping failures (plant state IFV) were reassigned from release category S6 to S1 (small conservative effect).
e Site Model Changes Item 8. Site model uncertainties were reassessed (minor effect).
Item 9. The evacuation distance and sheltering assumptions were varted.
Item 10. The Unit 2 construction workers were eliminated from the population distribution.
Although all the above changes contribute in some way to differences in the updated results, the ones that had the most significant impact on early health risk are items 1, 5, 6, and 9. A more qdantitative picture of the significance of eacn change is provided below.
The,results in the RMEPS update for early fatality risk are presented in Tables 2, 3, and 4 for evacuation cases of no evacuation,1-mile evacuation, and 2-mile evacuation, respectively. These are the
! comparison tables for Table 1 and the original SSPSA results. There are two kinds of differences exhibited in the new tables. One is that the risk levels (exceedance frequency values) are lower although less l evacuation is assumed, and, as expected, the levels decrease as the e
evacuation zone is increased from 0 to 2 miles. The other difference is that several new release categories, in addition to $6 and $2, appear as making significant contributions: 53, $7, and 51. Release category S3 contributes only under the assumption of no evacuation. This result is l viewed as purely academic because the time of release for 53 is some j 89 hours0.00103 days <br />0.0247 hours <br />1.471561e-4 weeks <br />3.38645e-5 months <br /> after the initiating event, during which even ad hoc protective
- actions would be effective.
i i For 1 or 2-mile evacuation, release categories 52, 56, S7, and 51 are l significant. The contribution of 52 only appears in the low consequence, i
i
relatively high frequency portions of the risk curve. In comparison of these results with Table 1, the shift in the ranking of contributors is due to the following.
- 1. The frequency of 56 in the SSPSA is lower because of the deletion of the interfacing LOCA and some seismically initiated sequences with station blackout.
- 2. The frequency of S2 increased slightly from the same seismic sequence noted in 1.
- 3. Some of the old V-sequence frequency formerly categorized in Sb is now in S7. Wnile source terms in S7 are lower than S6, they are still great enough for potentially fatal doses.
4 The frequency of S1 increased due to the addition of the pipe break type V-sequences formerly categorized in S6 and to a smaller extent by a reassessment of some turbine missile scenarios that was done since the RMEPS.
The contributions of plant damage states and initiating events to all updated release categories are shown in Tables 5 and b, respectively.
Tables 7 and 8 define the codes used for initiating events. About 78% of the scenarios in category 51 are pipe break type interfacing LOCAs that are assigned to plant damage state IFV. The remaining scenarios in 51 include aircraft and turbine missile scenarios tnat fail the containment in plant damage states IFA, 2FA, and 6FA and a wide spectrum of transient and LOCA scenarios with containment failure due to reactor vessel steam explosions. The contributors to category 52 are the same as those in tne SSPSA; namely, seimically induced station blackout with a failed open small penetration. Release category S6 is now dominated by seismically
. Induced accident sequences with no loss'of offsite power and failure of the SSPS system with an assumed containment purge in progress. No credit ,
for operation recovery of any system or component is taken for any seismic sequence, including those that now dominate SZ and 56.
Release category S7 is composed wholly of new interfacing LOCA scenarios in which the RHR piping remains intact and the bypass occurs via a defadedandsubmergedRHRpumpseal. In assessing the uncertainty on the source term for 57, a 101 probability was assigned to tne possibility that the leak path would not be submerged. From the information provided i in RMEPS, it. is clear that there would be no contribution to early health l risk from S7 if only best estimate (submerged) source terms had been used. Similarly, had the conservative source terms not been used for the remaining release categories, the risk levels calculated in RMEPS would l .
have been much lower than they were. In fact, on the basis of using the l best estimate source terms only, release category S1 is the only category i
that produced any potential for 200-rem doses and, hence, any potential j for early fatalities.
2.2 00SE VERSUS DISTANCE CURVES l In the RMEPS results, there was found to be very little potential for i 200-rem doses, even close to the site. As seen in Figure 2-9 of RMEPS i
l (3
(PLG-0432), the frequency of exceedance scale had to be extended from .001 to .0001 to pick up the mean risk of exceeding the 200-rem dose shown on the curve. The median curve for the 200-rem dose was off-scale. The contributions to the mean risk curve at various distances are indicated in the table below.
Percent Contribution to Release 200-Wem Exceedance Frequency Category (Figure 2-9 in PLG-0432) - - ---
1 mile 1.5 miles 2 miles 51 1 3 6 .
52 13 34 0 S3 67 3 0 55 0 0 0 S6 17 50 73 S7 2 9 20 By comparing these results with those in Table 2, it is seen that the 200-rem risk curve has the same set of release category contributors as the early fatality risk curve for no evacuation. Category S3 dominates at 1 mile. Again, this result is largely academic. It is difficult to envision, even if no emergency plans existed, that any individual would be in a position to receive a large dese more than 3 days after tne initiating event. At 2 miles, the 200-rem curve is dominated by S6, with smaller contributions by 57 and S1. Hence, the overall picture of the
, risk contributors is the same for the early fatality risk curves and the 200-rem dose versus distance curves.

- 3. SENSIT!vlIY STUOY UPDATE in the Seabrook Station Emergency Planning Sensitivity Study (PLG-0465, 1986), there were no changes made to the plant model . Source terms were revised to reflect the Reactor Safety Study (WASH-1400) source term methodology; i.e., were calculated using the CORRAL computer program for the Seabrook plant configuration. These CORRAL source terms had been developed during the original SSPSA. CRACIT computer program runs were made using best estimate (medium) modeling assumptions, and median
. accident frequencies-were used for consistency with-NUREG-0396 and WASH-1400. However, unlike NUREG-0396 and WASH-1400, the full treatment of dependent and external events in the Seabrook results was left unchanged.
3.1 EARLY FATALITY RISK CURVES
- The early fatality risk curves for 0, 1 and 2-mile evacuations are plotted in Figure 2-1 of PLG-0465. The contributors by release category are shown in the tables below for no evacuation,1-mile evacuation, and
'f-mile evacuation.

By comparing these results with the RMEPS results, it can be seen that one chief difference is that S2 now has a more dominating impact than it did in RMEPS, especially for the 0 and 1-mile evacuation cases.
Category S6 dominates the low frequency tail of the 1-mile curve and completely dominates the 2-mile results. The other chief difference is that categories S3 and 57 no longer make a significant contribution to early health risk and the percent of contribution of S1 is reduced somewhat. These differences stem from the fact that application of the WASH-1400 source term methodology did not have uniform impact on all tne source terms. The application of this methodology appears to have increased the S2 source term more than the others. In addition, the
~
RMEPS results for early health risk are heavily influenced by the conservative source terms used in that study. For category S7, the conservative RMEPS source term assumed no credit for a flooded RHR vault, while such credit was taken in the sensitivity study to make the analysis consistent with WASH-1400. In WASH-1400, credit was taken for suppression pool scrubbing in some boiling water reactor scenarios.
3.2/DOSEVERSUSDISTANCECURVES The 200-rem dose versus distance curve is fully dominated by release category S2, with very small contributions from S6 and 51.

KEY FACTORS INFLUENCING UPDATED ANALYSIS Of INTERFACING LOCA The purpose of this note is to highlight the key factors that resulted in a major reduction in risk levels in the updated Seabrook probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) results [per the Risk Management and Emergency Planning Study (RMEPS), PLG-0432, 19853 in comparison with the Seabrook Station Probabilistic Safety Assessment (SSPSA) (PLG-0300,1983).
Qualitatively, the key differences fall into three main areas of the analysis: initiating event frequency, plant response to various types of interfacing loss of coolant accident (LOCA) scenarios, and operator actions to prevent core melt and isolate the bypass. Each of these areas is described in the following pages.

- 1. INITIATING EVENT FRE0VENCY The initiating event frequency model in the SSPSA considered four residual heat removal (RHR) cold leg injection paths, each having two series check valves, and two RHR hot leg suction paths, each having two series motor-operated valves (M0V). The check valve model considered successive, independent ruptures of, first, the inboard and, second, the outboard check valve. The second failure was assumed to occur at the same rate as the first at any random time between the first failure and the next test (refueling). The MOV model included a similar sequence of ruptures (inboard, then outboard), as well as the possibility that the outboard valve is already open when the inboard valve fails. The updated model included all the above failure modes plus several more. For the check valve failures, it was conservatively assumed that the ,
outboard + inboard sequence could also occur and that it would occur at the same rate as the inboard + outboard sequence. In addition, the possibility of instantaneous failure of the second valve in a sequence at the time the first valve failed was also considered. Hence, the model used in the update is more complete. The net effect of those model enhancements is worth about a factor of 2 increase in the frequency of a given leak size.
A second difference between the two studies was the definition of the initiating event. In the SSPSA, the V-sequence initiator was defined as a major rupture leading to RHR overpressurization. In the RMEPS, any rutures with a leak flow exceeding 150 gpm (capacity of one charging pump) was considered an initiator. Such flows are not capable of overpressurizing the RHR system when the RHR relief valves operate properly.
A third difference in the initiating event frequency was in the treatment of check valve data. The SSPSA used check valve rupture data--actually zero failures in a large sample of component hours per population--taken from the Indian Point 2 and 3 PSAs. In RMEPS, a different approach was based on a frequency-magnitude correlation of nuclear grade RHR and reactor coolant system (RCS) check valve experience in U.S. pressurized water reactors (PWR). These data are documented in RMEPS and in a Aeparate submittal.
i l t To put the corresponding analyses on a common footing, the frequencies of l RHR overpressurization events can be compared as follows:
SSPSA: 1.8 x 10-6/ reactor year.
RMEPS Update: 7.1 x 10- / reactor year (leak > 1,800 gpm).
Thus, the net effect of the model differences (which have an increasing
' effect in the update) and the data treatment (which has a decreasing effect in the update) is a reduction in the frequency of valve ruptures leading to RHR pressurization by a factor of 2 to 3. Hence, if no other i changes would have been made to this analysis, the V-sequence risk contribution (and its early release frequency contribution) would have decreased by this same factor.

- 2. PLANT RESPONSE The plant response to RHR interfacing valve ruptures in the SSPSA and in most previously published probabilistic risk assessments (PRA) on PWRs has been treated rather simply, according to the following assumptions, without consideration of their incremental probability.
e Valve ruptures produce a shock wave with peak dynamic pressures significantly greater than the RCS pressure that travels down the low pressure RHR piping.
e RHR piping ruptures outside the containment.
e RCS and refueling water storage tank (RWST) inventories leak outside ,
the containment via a piping break.
e Core melt occurs with unsubmerged bypass.
e No credit is taken for any operator actions.
'Therefore, the plant response to the V-sequence in the SSPSA was treated as a single sequence. It was assigned to plant damage state 1F, which, in turn, was assigned to release category S6. In the RMEPS update, a large number of alternative scenarios were identified to provide a more complete picture of plant response. The most important variables introduced in the update to consider alternative plant responses are the size of the valve ruptures that initiate the event, the response of the RHR relief valves inside the containment, the pressure capacity of RHR low pressure piping, the response of RHR pump seals to overpressure, and the configuration of the RHR pump vaults with regard to source term implications.
The major differences in plant response to RHR interfacing valve ruptures, as modeled in the SSPSA and the RMEPS update, are illustrated in Figure 1. This figure is a highly simplified version of the event sequence model that was developed and quantified in the RMEPS update.
The chief differences in the update in this regard are a lower frequency of ynsubmerged pipe rupture-type bypasses because of the high capacity of the RHR piping. A more likely outcome is a submerged bypass via the RHR
! pump seals, l 3 l
1435P100936 _
- 3. OPERATOR RESPONSE Because of a different treatment of hardware and plant response, the potential for operator actions to mitigate the effects of the interfacing valve ruptures was appropriately considered in the update. The two key k actions, which are illustrated in Figure 1, are those to prevent melt and I to isolate the bypass. If the RHR piping remains intact, there is a high chance, as assesed in RMEPS, that the operators would prevent core melt whether or not the bypass was isolated. The key is to diagnose the bypass at the RHR pump seal and to provide long-term makeup of coolant to the RWST. If this action is not successful, there is some chance that the operator can isolate the bypass, but only for the discharge check valve rupture case (VI).
The net effects of the major update factors are summarized in Table 1. -

PEER REVIEW FINDINGS t
.e CONCURRED WITH PRINCIPAL STUDY FINDINGS
- OVERALL OFFSITE RISKS VERY SMALL
- EARLY HEALTH RISK LOWER THAN THOUGHT TO EXIST WHEN GENERAL EPZ ESTABLISHED
- EARLY HEALTH RISK CONFINED TO AREAS VERY CLOSE TO REACTOR e CONCLUSION ROBUST EVEN IN LIGHT OF UNCERTAINTIES e BELIEVE THE "BEST ESTIMATE" PROBABLY OVER-ESTIMATES ACTUAL CONSEQUENCES e SEABROOK CONTAINMENT MAJOR FACTOR l
