FUEL HANDLING ACCIDENT DOSE CONSEQUENCES USING AST METHODS Licensee Document Number: SM-1080538201
-00 1, Version 2 Method/Computer Program Used:
RADTRAD Version 3.
03 Regulatory Guidance: RG-1.183, including Appendix B Model Discussion:
The calculation was performed to address a fuel handling accident (FHA) in the containment and in the Spent Fuel Pool (SFP) area of the Auxiliary Building. For the containment accident, the containment equipment hatch and the personnel airlock are presumed to be open and no credit is taken to close them. The open containment airlock could allow areas around the Control Room (CR) to become contaminated, so the calculation accounts for dose impacts of ingress/egress of the CR through the CR doors. Also, a small amount of CR envelop wall is only 1 foot thick, so the shine from the contaminated area through the wall is added to the CR operator dose. Doses in the CR are accumulated over an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> shift. Releases from the failed fuel are completed in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
For the accident in the SFP area of the Auxiliary Building, the accident releases also are completed in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. The activity is released to the environment through the plant vent stack, and credit is taken for filtration of the iodine isotopes through the Penetration Room Filtration System. Doses from this accident are bounded by the doses from an accident in containment.

For the FHA in the SFP area, the 10 cfm for ingress and egress is conservatively added to CR through the ventilation system and is unfiltered. This unfiltered inleakage starts at time 0 and continues through the entire accident (8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />).
