Response to Request for Supplemental Information Concerning Licensing Amendment Request to Revise Technical Specification 3.4.12 and 3.4.13 Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 NRC Docket No. 50-313 Renewed Facility Operating License No. DPR-51 Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1) in Reference 1. The proposed amendment would revise the Dose Equivalent I-131 (DEI) and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) primary activity limits required by Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.12, RCS Specific Activity. In addition, the primary-to-secondary leak rate limit provided in TS 3.4.13, RCS Leakage, would be revised. These proposed changes are due to non-conservative inputs used in the Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accident, the Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident, and the Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA) dose calculations.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff has determined that additional information is needed to complete its acceptance review (Reference 2). The requested supplemental information is provided in response to this request in the Enclosure. The supplemental information does not affect the no significant hazards consideration provided in Reference 1.
There are no new regulatory commitments contained in this submittal.

1CAN122101 Enclosure Page 1 of 5 RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION RELATED TO LAR TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.4.12 AND 3.4.13 By letter dated September 30, 2021 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML21274A874), Entergy Operations, Inc. (Entergy) submitted a license amendment request (LAR) for Arkansas Nuclear One, Unit 1 (ANO-1). The proposed amendment would revise the Dose Equivalent I-131 (DEI) and the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) primary activity limits required by Technical Specification (TS) 3.4.12, RCS Specific Activity. In addition, the primary-to-secondary leak rate limit provided in TS 3.4.13, RCS Leakage, would be revised. These proposed changes are due to non-conservative inputs used in the Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accident, the Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) accident, and the Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA) dose calculations.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff performed an acceptance review of the LAR in accordance with Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation (NRR) Office Instruction LIC-109, Revision 3, and Acceptance Review Procedures, dated July 20, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20036C829), and determined that the application is unacceptable for review, with opportunity to supplement because it is missing sufficient information for the NRC staff to make an independent assessment regarding the acceptability of the proposed amendment in terms of regulatory requirements for the protection of public health and safety and the environment.
To make the application complete, the NRC staff requests that the licensee supplement the application to address the information requested, as described below.
REGULATORY BASIS FOR REQUEST The regulation in Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Section 50.67, Accident source term, requires that:
- 1) A licensee who seeks to revise its current accident source term in design basis radiological consequence analyses shall apply for a license amendment under § 50.90.
The application shall contain an evaluation of the consequences of applicable design basis accidents previously analyzed in the safety analysis report.
- 2) The NRC may issue the amendment only if the applicant's analysis demonstrates with reasonable assurance that:
(i) An individual located at any point on the boundary of the exclusion area for any 2-hour period following the onset of the postulated fission product release, would not receive a radiation dose in excess of 0.25 Sv (25 rem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE).
(ii) An individual located at any point on the outer boundary of the low population zone, who is exposed to the radioactive cloud resulting from the postulated fission product release (during the entire period of its passage), would not
1CAN122101 Enclosure Page 2 of 5 receive a radiation dose in excess of 0.25 Sv (25 rem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE).
(iii) Adequate radiation protection is provided to permit access to and occupancy of the control room under accident conditions without personnel receiving radiation exposures in excess of 0.05 Sv (5 rem) total effective dose equivalent (TEDE) for the duration of the accident.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION NEEDED FOR THE AMENDMENT REQUEST A preliminary review of the LAR has determined that additional information is needed for the NRC staff to begin performing a meaningful review. Although detailed information appears to be provided for other non-radiological analyses, the critical inputs to the dose analyses are not readily displayed in the amendment request. Therefore, the following information is needed:
- 1. Please provide additional information describing, for each design basis accident affected by the proposed changes, all the basic parameters used in the dose consequence analyses. This information should include the current licensing basis (CLB) values, the revised values, where applicable, as well as the basis for any changes to the CLB values. For clarity, please provide the requested information in separate tables for each affected design basis accident.
Entergy's Response Attachment 1 provides additional information describing, for each design basis accident affected by the proposed changes, all the basic parameters used in the dose consequence analyses.
- 2. In addition, please provide additional information describing the models and assumptions used in the dose consequence analyses affected by the proposed changes. Alternatively, to support a timely NRC staff review, the calculation packages that typically contain this information may be provided for the affected design basis accidents.
Entergy's Response Source Term The reactor coolant source terms in the CLB analyses are based on coolant measurements from 2007. In an effort to standardize the reactor coolant source term methodologies among the Entergy units, these source terms are being updated to ANSI/ANS-18.1-2020 as they are revised. This standard identifies (i) the radiologically-applicable isotopes and (ii) the relative concentrations among the isotopes to ensure a consistent fleet approach to performing these radiological calculations. In order to minimize periodic updates, this methodology eliminates or minimizes the need for measured plant data that may change over time and is as independent as possible from fuel parameters such as fuel mechanical
1CAN122101 Enclosure Page 3 of 5 design, burnup, and enrichment that can change each cycle. The ANO-1 reactor coolant sources were revised to this standard as part of this application.
Once the normal reactor coolant sources are developed based on this standard, the reactor coolant sources are increased to meet the applicable ANO-1 Technical Specifications (TSs).
Current TS Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.4.12.2 limits the Dose Equivalent I-131 (DEI) to less than 1.0 microcurie per gram (µCi/g) while TS SR 3.4.12.1 limits the Dose Equivalent Xe-133 (DEX) to less than 2200 µCi/g. The DEI is calculated with the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent (CEDE) dose conversion factors using Table 2.1 of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Federal Guidance Report No. 11, while the DEX applies the effective dose conversion factors for air submersion listed in Table III.1 of EPA Federal Guidance Report No. 12. Consistent with Regulatory Issue Summary (RIS) 2006-04, the alkali metals are also included in the reactor coolant source terms.
The CREA applies the core source term inventory since this accident involves a gap release.
The coolant and core activities applied in these analyses are listed below.

1CAN122101 Attachment 2 Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR)
Model Information
1CAN122101 Page 1 of 15 STEAM GENERATOR TUBE RUPTURE (SGTR)
MODEL INFORMATION 1.0 EVENT DESCRIPTION While operating at full power, the double-ended rupture of a steam generator (SG) tube occurs with unrestricted discharge from each end. The initial leak rate exceeds the normal makeup (MU) to the reactor coolant system (RCS) and system pressure decreases. No initial operator action is assumed and the primary system pressure decreases until a reactor trip occurs on low reactor coolant pressure. The turbine trips as a result of the reactor trip. Consistent with Section 5.4 of Appendix F to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183, a coincident loss of offsite power (LOOP) is assumed coincident with the reactor scram and turbine trip rather than the tube rupture.
Due to the LOOP, the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) trip, the main feedwater (MFW) pumps trip, and the condenser becomes unavailable. Emergency feedwater (EFW) actuates automatically to raise SG liquid levels. Closure of the turbine stop valves (TSVs) causes the main steam line pressure to increase and open the atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) and main steam safety valves (MSSVs). The fission products escaping from the ADVs and/or MSSVs are released directly to the atmosphere.
The operator performs normal post-trip verifications and then begins a cooldown of the reactor coolant system (RCS) using the ADV(s) in manual mode. After the RCS temperature has decreased to a value that corresponds to a saturation pressure which is below the lowest MSSV setpoint, the affected SG can be isolated. The RCS cooldown continues by steaming the unaffected SG. RCS pressure is maintained near the minimum adequate subcooling margin (SCM) by throttling high pressure safety injection (which started automatically on a low reactor coolant pressure signal or was started manually by the operator) and cycling the electromatic relief valve (ERV).
The SGTR scenario considers a single active failure and a coincident LOOP. The accident chronology applied in this analysis is reported below.
SGTR Chronology Time Event Comments 0 seconds SGTR occurs (sec) 9.6 minutes Reactor trip on low RCS pressure Per Assumption 5.4 of Appendix F with consequential loss of offsite to RG 1.183 power ADV block valve on intact SG fails to open (single active failure), all releases are through the MSSVs.

Operator is dispatched to address ADV on intact SG.

Tube and RCS temperature decreased to a Primary-to-Secondary (PS) leakage value that corresponds to a no longer released to environment. saturation pressure which is below the lowest MSSV setpoint 237.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> Decay Heat Removal (DHR) conditions reached. PS leakage from intact loop terminated 2.0 RADIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES The RCS response to a SGTR was evaluated with Framatomes RELAP5/MOD2-B&W thermal-hydraulics (T/H) computer code with ANO-1s current enhanced once-through steam generators (EOTSGs). This T/H analysis yielded the scram timing, isolation time of the ruptured SG, and the time-dependent break flow rates.
The radiological consequences of the SGTR accident were then analyzed with RADTRAD 3.03.
Due to code limitations, the scenario was broken down into six cases, which were evaluated separately and summed to develop total dose. For each case, the impact on control room dose from the plume was also evaluated using modified isotopic-specific dose conversion factors and was shown to be negligible. These cases are listed in the table below.

This leakage rate is based on 62.4 lb/ft3 consistent with Section 5.2 of Appendix F to RG 1.183.

Pathway 10: Fuel Leakage for Accident-Induced (AI) Spike This pathway represents the iodine release from the fuel for the AI spike. As described in the source term section, the source term in the core compartment (Compartment 5) is based on the iodine generation rate into the RCS needed to maintain the equilibrium DEI (1.0 Ci/gm) with a 1 gram per minute flow from the core compartment. Consequently, for the accident-induced spike, the flow rate is increased by 335 times the initial rate.

The core compartment is initialized with this source term to represent the release rate from the core based on a 1 gram/minute release to offset the system losses.

The source term for the core compartment is calculated by summing the losses from letdown, radioactive decay and PS leakage for an initial coolant activity at 1 Ci/g DEI. Then, with a compartment volume of 1E+10 grams and a 1 gram/minute flow (Pathway 10), the core inventories can be calculated by merely multiplying the loss rate (in Ci/minute) by 1E+10.

1CAN122101 Attachment 3 Main Steam Line Break (MSLB)
Model Information
1CAN122101 Page 1 of 12 MAIN STEAM LINE BREAK (MSLB)
MODEL INFORMATION 1.0 EVENT DESCRIPTION While operating at full power, the double-ended rupture of a main steam line outside containment occurs with unrestricted discharge from each end. Upon detection of a steam line break, the affected steam generator (SG) is isolated by closing its main steam isolation valve (MSIV). The reactor scrams on low Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure. The entire SG inventory on the affected loop is assumed to be released by the time the MSIV is fully closed.
Due to the Loss-of-Offsite Power (LOOP), the reactor coolant pumps (RCPs) trip, the main feedwater (MFW) pumps trip, and the condenser becomes unavailable. Emergency feedwater (EFW) actuates automatically to raise steam generator liquid levels. Closure of the turbine stop valves (TSVs) causes the main steam line pressure to increase and open the atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) and main steam safety valves (MSSVs). The fission products escaping from the ADVs and/or MSSVs are released directly to the atmosphere.
The MSLB scenario considers a single active failure and a coincident loss-of-offsite power. The accident chronology applied in this analysis is reported below.

2.0 RADIOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCE MODEL The radiological consequences of the MSLB accident were then analyzed with RADTRAD 3.03.
Due to code limitations, the scenario was broken down into nine cases, which were evaluated separately and summed to develop to total dose. For each case, the impact on control room dose from the plume was also evaluated using modified isotopic-specific dose conversion factors and was shown to be negligible. These cases are listed in the table below.

1CAN122101 Page 5 of 12 Pathway 4: Vaporized PS Leakage (Faulted SG)
This pathway represents the PS leakage into the faulted SG that is vaporized. Since all of the PS leakage is assumed to be vaporized, this flow represents all of the PS leakage into the faulted SG. The leakage rate for this pathway is 0.5 gallons per minute (gpm). Since both PS leakage paths have identical vaporization fractions (i.e., 100%) and /Qs, the total 1 gpm leakage from Technical Specification (TS) 5.5.9.b.2 is simply split between the SGs.
As described in Section 5.2 of Appendix E to Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183, the density of this PS leakage should be based on a cooled liquid at a density of 62.4 pound mass per cubic foot (lbm/ft3). On these bases, the 0.5 gpm of PS leakage is calculated to be 1892 grams per minute. This leakage is assumed to continue into the faulted SG until the RCS has been cooled to below 212 ºF at 251.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

This pathway represents the PS leakage into the intact SG that is vaporized. Since all of the PS leakage is assumed to be vaporized, this flow represents all of the PS leakage into the intact S/G.
As discussed for Pathway 4, the flowrate is 0.5 gpm or 1892 grams per minute. This leakage is assumed to continue into the intact SG until the RCS has been cooled to decay heat removal entry conditions at 237.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

Once the main steam line breaks, the inventory in the faulted loop is assumed to be released to the environment through this pathway within the first minute. Consequently, this pathway has a very high flow rate for the first minute (0.0167 hours0.00193 days <br />0.0464 hours <br />2.761243e-4 weeks <br />6.35435e-5 months <br />).

Pathway 10: Fuel Leakage for Accident-Induced (AI) Spike This pathway represents the iodine release from the fuel for the accident-induced spike. As described in the source term section, the source term in the core compartment (Compartment 5) is based on the iodine generation rate into the RCS needed to maintain the equilibrium DEI

This dispersion value is consequently applied for the release of the secondary coolant in the faulted loop in Cases 1 and 3.
If the MSIV in the faulted loop failed to close, the vaporized RCS PS leakage would also be released from the main steam pipe; however, since the main steam pipe dispersion coefficients are lower than the ADV and MSSV values, this would not be a bounding single active failure.
Instead, the normally-closed motor-operated block valve isolating the ADV on the intact loop fails to open so that the releases are via the MSSV until an operator manually opens the block valve at 30 minutes.

Model Information
1CAN122101 Page 1 of 9 CONTROL ROD EJECTION ACCIDENT (CREA)
MODEL INFORMATION 1.0 EVENT DESCRIPTION While operating at full power, a high-worth control rod is quickly ejected from the core, resulting in a reactor trip on high flux and a substantial number of fuel rods entering Departure from Nucleate Boiling (DNB). These rods are assumed to fail and release their gap activity to either the primary system or the reactor building. A loss-of-offsite power (LOOP) is assumed concurrent with the scram, making the condenser unavailable for decay heat rejection. The atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) and main steam safety valves (MSSVs) are used to cool down the plant. The fission products escaping from the ADVs and/or MSSVs are released directly to the atmosphere. The accident chronology applied in this analysis is reported below for each potential leakage path.

Per Section 4.1.3 of RG 1.183, the breathing rate of persons offsite is assumed to be 3.5E-04 m3/s.
The EAB dispersion coefficient is unchanged from the current value. Although it is a 2-hour value, it is modeled throughout the entire accident duration so that the worst-case 2-hour sliding window can be accurately identified.

Since the releases from each loop are approximately equal, the control room /Q for the first 30 minutes would be the average of the MSSV and ADV values.
