Withheld Security-Related Information MONTICELLO UPDATED SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT USAR-05 Revision 37 SECTION5 CONTAINMENT SYSTEM Page 81 of 119 Maximum and minimum calculated secondary containment exfiltration rates as functions of wind velocity are provided in Figure 5.3-2. This data indicates that when secondary containment pressure starts at 0.25 inch water column vacuum for calm wind conditions, at wind velocities up to 35 mph, there is little exfiltration from the reactor building. If secondary containment pressure is higher (closer to atmospheric pressure),
then exfiltration starts at lower wind speed. The calculations indicate that the exfiltration rate is almost directly proportional to the initial in-leakage rate for a negative building pressure. These analyses also indicate that the exfiltration rate could be many orders of magnitude larger, due to higher wind speed, without increasing the post-accident doses above the limits set in 10CFR50.67.
Analyses have been performed to determine the radiological effects of various pipe breaks in the reactor building. The most limiting of these breaks, the main steam line break, is included in Section 14.7.3.
For an evaluation of environmental conditions for postulated high energy line pipe breaks in the reactor building refer to Appendix I.
Except for a main steam line break, postulated high energy line breaks in the reactor building can not cause structural damage to primary or secondary containment structures or components required for safe shutdown. Primary or secondary leak tightness is not assured for a high energy line break since the resulting pressure may blow open the reactor building railroad doors or adversely affect primary containment isolation valves. Leak tightness of these structures is not required to place the plant in a safe shutdown condition following a high energy line break in the reactor building or limit the radiological consequences of the break to within the guidelines of 10CFR50.67 or 10CFR Part 50, Appendix A, GDC 19.
These blowout panels are designed to fall out at a differential pressure of less than 0.25 psi (7 in. of water) and would require resealing after blowout. Each of the two panels has an equivalent area of 75 fi2. Steam flow is shown in Figure 14.6-6 of the FSAR. Venting of this quantity of steam within the turbine building does not require relief devices for building integrity. Other features are utilized to protect individual equipment cubicles, however, no other line failure releases sufficient energy to require building relief protection.
Analysis of the design basis Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) using Alternative Source Term methodology has demonstrated that secondary containment integrity is not required to maintain offsite and Control Room Operator doses below 10CFR50.67 limits (reference USAR Section 14.7.6). MNGP has committed to providing secondary containment closure controls that are in effect whenever secondary containment penetrations are open with movement of irradiated fuel assemblies in progress (Reference 159) (MNGP Commitment M04003A). Procedures for response to a fuel-handling accident will direct that secondary containment penetrations are closed expeditiously.
