Subject:

Clinton Power Station License Condition #14 Transportation Accidents

Dear Dr. Butler:

Clinton Power Station Safety Evaluation Report (NUREG-0853)

Supplement No. 3 (SSER #3) Section 2.2 stated the requirements associated with License Condition #14 as follows:

"... The applicant has provided a conservative analysis that concludesthattheannualprobabigityofaffectingplant safetysigniffcantlyisabout 10 for toxic materials and about 10~ for explosive materia.s.

The staff agrees with this finding. However, in light of the potential for significant changes in the hazardous material shipping patterns for this railroad, the Staff recommends a license condition that would require a periodic survey (every 3 years) of all shipments of hazardous material and a reassessment of the hazards associated with toxic material with respect to the railroad. With regard to toxic materials, the applicant shall (within 6 months of a negative finding) provide sensors that will isolate the control room heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system should identified chemicals present a toxic environment. The initial report shall be submitted to the NRC not later than July 1, 1986.

The shipping data shall be based on actual records of shipments made during the calendar year 1985. This report shall be updated every 3 years."

The accachment to this letter provides a reassessment of hazardous materials shipped near Clinton Power Station based upon calendar year 1985 survey data for the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Gilman Line.

The survey data was obtained by reviewing railroad records of material shipped over the Cilman Line for 1985. The reassessment used the evaluation performed in 1983 (transmitted in a letter from G. E. Wuller, Illinois Power Company to A. Schwencer NRC, dated March 4, 1983) as a point of reference for determining the risk associated with the 1985 data. The SSER #3 write-up was based upon a review of the 1983 evaluation. g8[

.e O-The reassessment contained in the attachment to this letter demonstrates that the risks associated with railroad transportation hazards remain acceptably low ar.d sensors that will isolate the control room heating, ventilating and air conditioning are not necessary.

It should be noted that based on a conversation with a representative of the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad, Illinois Power (IP) has been informed that two of the four trains normally scheduled on the Gilman Line no longer utilize this route as of April, 1986. Since these trains accounted for 88% of the total hazardous material traffic in 1985, IP expects a substantial decrease in future hazardous material traffic on the Gilman Line.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please call me.

Sincerely yours, Q. .

, s P ga 1 of 10 Attachment to Letter # U- 600627 REASSESSMENT OF FLAMMABLE AND T0XIC HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH RAIL TRANSPORTATION PAST CLINTON POWER STATION USING 1985 SURVEY DATA This report provides an update to the hazards analysis performed in 1983 for flammable compressed gases and toxic materials shipped by rail over the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad Gilman Line. This update reevaluates these hazards in light of 1985 shipping data, using the 1983 evaluation (reference 1) as a point of reference where possible.

To obtain data for the present evaluation, Illinois Power (IP) performed a comprehensive survey of rail traffic on the Gilman Line from Illinois Central Gulf Railroad (ICGR) shipping records for the period of January 1, 1985 to December 31, 1985. Hazardous materials were identified on shipping records by a 49-series Standard Transportation Commodity Code number. This category includes flammable and toxic materials. Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires that hazardous materials must be identified on all shipping records. Therefore, this survey of hazardous materials was totally inclusive.

A summary of all hazardous materials shipped on the Gilman Line during 1985 is given in Table 1.

1. Hazard Analysis of Flammable Compressed Gas Table 2 indicates the number of flammable compressed gas shipments occurring over the Illinois Central Gulf Gilman Line for calendar year 1985. The totals for 1985 are comparable to the totals from the 1983 evaluation. The total mass of flammable gas shipped increased slightly (4%) during this period from 245,927 tons to 256,206 tons, while the total number of cars decreased slightly (4%) from 3472 cars to 3347 cars.

Because the total probability of an explosion hazard is proportional to shipment frequency (cars per year), as shown by equation 4.13 of the 1983 flammable hazards report, the explosion hazard ~9robability has decreased slightly since the 1983 evaluation from 2.3X10 events per year to 2.2X10" evegesperyear. Therefore the explosion hazard probability remains below 10- events per year and is acceptably low per Regulatory Guide 1.91,

" Evaluations of Explosions Postulated to Occur on Transportation Routes Near Nuclear Power Plants."

11. Evaluation of Control Room Habitability during a Postulated Release of Toxic Material Shipped by Rail This portion of the report evaluates the hazards associated with rail trans-portation of toxic materials. It demonstrates that the toxic materials shipped near the Clinton Power Station (CPS) present no significant risk to control room habitability or nuclear safety.

I L

, e Pags 2 of 10 Regulatory Guide 1.78, " Assumptions for Evaluating the Habitability of a Nuclear Power Plant Control Room During a Postulated Hazardous Chemical Release," ,

specifies a control room habitability evaluation for hazardous materials shipped by rail with a frequency of thirty (30) or more times per year. The shipment survey indicated a total of forty-two (42) hazardous materials shipped at least thirty times per year on the ICGR Gilman Line near CPS. These chemicals are listed in Table 3.

In thin evaluation, chemien1s not aufffefently tovic to threaten control room habitability were eliminated on the basis of published toxicity data and criteria listed in Regulatory Guide 1.78. Any remaining chemicals were subjected to a diffusion analysis as described in Regulatory Guide 1.78. The Architect-Engineer for CPS, Sargent & Lundy, has developed the HAZCHEM computer program which utilizes this diffusion analysis to calculate the concentration in the control room of a chemical released a specified distance from the ventilation intake.

Details of the HAZCHEM methodology are given in Reference 1.

The following is a discussion of each of the chemicals listed in Table 3 and the resulting effect on the control room habitability of spills or gaseous releases involving these chemicals.

Butane, Propylene, Butene, Argon,and Butylene In the 1983 evaluation, toxicity information was used to eliminate some chemicals from further consideration. Butane, Propylene and Butene were eliminated in the 1983 evaluation on the basis of being simple asphyxiants that would not displace one-third or more of the control room air. According to Irving Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, third edition, up to a third of the air in a room can be displaced by a simple asphyxiant before a human being will experience adverse effects. Such concentrations in the control room, at a distance of 0.75 miles (the closest the Gilman Line passes to CPS) from the railroad tracks, are not credible since a minimum of 5% of the tank car content must enter the control room in order to displace one third of its air.

Argon and butylene niso meet these criteria and can be eliminated from consideration. Sax lists both of these chemicals as asphyxiants, and it is expected that they will not displace one-third or more of the control room air.

Isobutane, Liquid Petroleum Gas, and Butadiene As described in Reference 1, isobutane was eliminated on the basis of a toxicity rating of I given in bax's reterence. Chemicais with a toxicity rating ot i are defined as slightly toxic. They cause slight changes which are readily reversible and disappear after the end of the exposure. Reference 1 also climinated liquid petroleum gas (LPG) from further analysis due to a threshold limit value (TLV) of 1,000 ppm, which implies a high threshold of human tolerance. Thus, LPG was not considered to be sufficiently toxic to warrant further analysis.

Toxicity limits for butadiene were taken from Reference 4 The TLV given there is 1,000 ppm, which implies a high human tolerance. Thus, as for LPG, butadiene gas is also not considered to be sufficiently toxic to affect control room habitability.

, e Pags 3 of 10 Pseudocumene, Hydrogen Peroxide, Sulfuric Acid, Spent Sulfuric Acid, Phosphoric Acid (<77%), Phosphoric Acid, Sodium Hydroxide Cp48% water by weight), Corrosive Liquid (N.O.S.)* and Sodium Hydroxide (solid)

Regulatory Guide 1.78 states that liquids with vapor pressures less than 10 torr may be eliminated from further consideration. Pseudocumene, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, spent sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid (<.77% of phosphoric anhydride by weight), phosphoric acid, sodium hydroxide (liquid or solution,36 48% water by weight) and corrosive liquid (N.O.S.) all have vapor pressures less than 10 torr at 100*F. Sodium hydroxide was eliminated from consideration since it is a solid at ambient temperature.

Petroleum Naphtha, Formaldehyde, Vinyl Acetate These chemicals were subjected to a diffusion analysis in the 1983 evaluation.

The results of the HAZCHEM program showed that insufficient amounts of any of these chemicals would reach the control room, following a railcar spill, to be hazardous for acute exposures. The largest shipment evaluated in the 1983 analysis was 97 tons for petroleum naphtha, 98 tons for formaldehyde and 101 tons for vinyl acetate. The 1985 survey revealed a slight increase in the largest shipment for these three chemicals (2%-3% increase), therefore, the resulting concentration values at the Main Control Room ventilation intake will not be affected significantly and are expected to be well within the maximum allowable concentrations (See Reference 1).

Denatured Alcohol Denatured Alcohol was analyzed via the HAZCHEM program in the 1983 evaluation (Reference 1). The largest shipment considered was 100 tons. The results of the analysis showed that toxicity limits were not exceeded. The 1985 survey also revealed a maximum shipment of 100 tons for denatured alcohol. Therefore, based on the results of the analysis performed in the previous evaluation, denatured alcohol has been determined to present no toxic hazards to the Clinton Power Station control room operators.

Styrene (Monomer)

Specific threshold limit values (TLV) for styrene (monomer) were not available, however, styrene is not considered a very toxic material. Sax (Reference 2) states that toxic effects of styrene (monomer) are usually transient and will disappear once exposure to this chemical is stopped. Experiments have found that 10,000 ppm was dangerous to animal life in 30-60 minutes, 2,500 ppm was dangerous to life in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, while 1,300 ppm was the highest amount for which no serious systemic disturbances occurred in 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. From a study to determine the chronic effects of this material, it was discovered that rats exposed to 1,300 ppm for 7-8 hours / day, 5 days / week, for 26 weeks, showed evidence and definite signs of eye and nasal irritation and appeared unkempt, though they made a normal gain ir weight and presented no significant microscopic tissue changes or changes in the blood picture. The information presented by Sax implies a high threshold of human tolerance. In addition, styrene has a relatively low vapor pressure, 10 torr at 87'F which will minimize the evaporation rate and the resulting concentration in the control room 0.75 miles away. Therefore, based on its low vapor pressure and low toxicity, styrene (monomer) was not considered to be sufficiently hazardous to warrant further analysis.

• This abbreviation is used in the Standard Transportation Commodity Code as meaning "Not Otherwise Specified."

Pags 4 of 10 Flammable Liquid N.O.S., Combustible Liquid N.O.S.

Flammable liquid N.O.S. is defined as a liquid with a flash point at or below 100*F. Combustible liquid N.O.S. is a liquid with a flash point between 100 and 200*F. These categories include numerous chemicals that could be both toxic and non-toxic. However, the following generalizations can be made concerning the N.O.S. category:

1. N.O.S. chemicals are not likely to be highly toxic. Shippers of hazardous material by rail are required to classify these materials by the Standard Transportation Commodity Code (STCC) that most closely describes the material. Only when the material does not specifically fit into one of the other existing categories will it be classified in an N.O.S. category.

Because highly toxic chemicals that are shipped in any significant quantity normally have an explicit STCC assigned to them, those chemicals in the N.O.S. category are not likely to be highly toxic.

2. Because the N.O.S. category could include many chemicals and since chemicals that are shipped in significant quantities typically are assigned an explicit STCC number, the quantity of any single material shipped under an N.O.S.

category is likely to be small. Therefore, if the chemicals shipped under an N.O.S. category could be identified, they probably could be eliminated on the basis of low shipment frequency (j30 cars per year) or low probability of a hazard to the control room ( < 10~).

Based upon the foregoing discussion chemicals falling under the N.O.S. category have been eliminated from further consideration.

Weed or Tree Killing Compound Information on the specific '.ype of chemicals included in this category was not available. However, based on the method of application for these materials, they are expected to be of low volatility and low human toxicity, thus causing little or no concern to control room operators in the ever.c of a spill on the Gilman Line near CPS. Experimental data from Reference 8, on the relative toxicity of some of these compounds to rats, shows the majority of the herbicides considered as being slightly toxic or almost non-toxic. The objective is to produce compounds that protect animals, birds, and fish, as well as humans, while still dealing with a particular vegetation problem. In addition, this general category could include many chemicals and since chemicals shipped in significant quantities typically are assigned an explicit STCC number, the quantity of any single material shipped under " weed or tree killing compound" is likely to be small. Based on the above, this material was not considered for further analysis.

Combustibic Liquid N.O.S. (Glycol Ethers)

This category of materials could include a number of glycol ethers. Examples of

, glycol ethers found in toxicology literature (reference 9) include the following:

Chemical vapor Pressure 0 20'C Exposure Limits (ppm)

Ethylene glycol 0.76 Torr 700 (IDLil) monobutyl ether Dipropylene glycol 0.3 Torr 150 (STEL) methyl ether

Pega 5 of 10 Chemical Vapor Pressure @ 20*C Exposure Limits (ppm)

Ethylene glycol 3.7 Torr 6,000 (IDLH) monoethyl ether ,

Ethylene glycol 2.0 Torr 2,500 (IDLH) monoethyl ether acetate Ethylene glycol 2.6 Torr 25 (TLV)*

monoisopropyl ether Ethylene glycol 6 Torr 2,000 (IDLH)***

monomethyl ether Ethylene glycol 2 Torr 4,500 (IDLH) monomethyl ether acetate Propylene glycol Not Available 150 (STEL) monoethyl other Notes: STEL - Short Term Exposure Limit concentration - This value is the maximal concentration to which workers can be exposed for a period up to 15 minutes continuously without suffering from: irritation; chronic or irreversible tissue changes; or narcosis of sufficient degree to increase accident proneness, impair self-rescue, or materially reduce work efficiency, provided that no more than four excursions per day are i permitted, sich at least 60 minutes between exposure periods.***

IDLH - Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health concentration - This concentration represents a maximum level from which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape impairing symptoms or any irreversible health effects.***

TLV - Threshold Limit Value - This is the maximum concentration of a chemical to which a human can be safely exposed for several hours daily over long periods of time.

• Data from Reference 9

• • Data from Reference 10 '

• • • Data from Reference 11 As can be seen from the above data, chemicals falling under the category of glycol ethers typically have low vapor pressures implying low volatility. They also typically are not highly toxic as the data implies. Therefore this category of materials is not expected to cause incapacitating effects on the plant operators who are located in the control room, a minimum of 0.75 mile from potential spill locations. Therefore this category has been eliminated from further consideration.

Oil N.O.S., Petroleum 011 A number of different chemicals or mixtures of chemicals could be classified under the category of oil N.O.S., petroleum oil. A review of toxicology literature (Reference 9) indicates that some potential constituents of this category produce toxic effects, and some may have carcinogenic effects. However, there was no indication ehat any of these chemicals are toxic enough to cause operator incapacitation at a distance of 0.75 miles.

Pagn 6 of 10 Ethyl, Acetate, Propyl Alcohol, Propyl Acetate, Butyl Alcohol, Butyl Acrylate, 2-Butanol, Butyl Acetate, Isobutyl Acetate, Acrylonitrile, Ethyl Acrylate, Acetic Acid These substances are toxic chemicals with vapor pressures above 10 torr and were therefore evaluated via the HAZCHEM program. The HAZCHEM results showed that the resulting concentrations in the control room, for each of these chemicals, would be insufficient to be hazardous to plant operators (see Table 4).

Anhydrous Ammonia, Ethyler.e Oxide. Hydrochloric Acid HAZCHEM results indicated that these chemicals could render the control room uninhabitable if a rail car containing the maximum shipment quantity should spill its entire contents under specific conditions. A further evaluation was required to determine if a significant probability existed for a transportation accident involving these chemicals which could incapacitate the control room operators.

NUREG-0800, " Standard Review Plan," Section 2.2.3, provides criteria for determining if a toxic release need be considered a design basis event.

Specifically, NUREG-0800 states:

"The probability of occurrence of the initiating events leading to potential consequences in excess of 10 CFR Part 100 exposure guidelines should be estimated using assumptions that are as representative of the specific site as is practicable. In addition, because of the low probabilities of the events under consideration, data are often not available to permit accurate calculation of probabilities. Accordingly, the expected rate of occurrence ofpotentingexposuresinexcessofthe10CFRPart 100 guidelines of approx-imately 10~ per year is acceptable if, when combined with reasonable qual-itative arguments, the realistic probability can be shown to be lower."

The risk assessment analysis in this report, as in the original report (Reference 1), employs two conservative and cross-checking methods to calculate the probability of a railcar rupture and toxic material release serious enough to affect the hat itability of the CPS Control Room.

The first probability calculation is a function of the probability of release per car mile and the shipping frequency in cars per year. The probability of releases reaching the control room per year of a railcar carrying hazardous materials is Pa = Pr(C) x F(C) x kL(D)xPw(D) (1)

D=1 where:

Pa = probability of release reaching the control room (releases) year Pr(C) = probability of railcar releases releases (car mile)

F(C) = frequency of shipment ears gyear)

L(D) = length of track under consideration (function of wind direction)

(miles)

Pcga 7 of 10 Pw(D) = probability that a wind of any stability class and any velocity class is blowing in a direction such that a toxic chemical release is carried toward the control room air intake (function of wind direction) [dimensionless]

D is the direction Erom which the wind is blowing (W, WNW, etc.). Only those eight wind directions from which a wind could blow from the railroads towards the plant are included (see Figure 1).

The second probability calculation is a function of the probability of release per ton mile and the shipping frequency in tons per year. The probability of a release reaching the control room per year of a railcar carrying hazardous material is:

Pa = Pr(T) x F(T) x y_,L(D) x Pw(D) (2)

D=1 where:

Pa, L(D), Pw(D), and D are as defined before and, Pr(T) = probability of railcar releases (releases) ton mile F(T) ~ frequency of shipment tons (year)

For the purpose of the probability calculations, minor releases are excluded because they do not threaten control room habitability. The probability of a release reaching the control room is based on major releases; those releases expected to threaten control room habitability as a result of an accident causing at least $5000 in damages (loss of lading, property damage, cleanup crew, etc.).

The assumption of using accident frequencies with damages of at least $5000 is reasonable since nearly all hazardous materials are shipped in quantities which are worth at least $5000. Loss of lading alone would exceed the $5000 criterir.,

exclusive of damage or emergency response effort costs.

Using railcar accident frequency data from Tables 5 and 6, anhydrous ammonia, classified as a non-flammable gas, has accident (release) frequencies of:

-6 Pr(C) = 0.019 x 10 releases gcar mile)

~9 Pr(T) = 0.27 x 10 (releases) ton mile From Table 3, anhydrous ammonia has shipping frequencies of:

F(C) = 95 ears gyear)

F(T) = 7,387 tons gyear)

Pcg2 8 of 10 From Table 7:

L(D) x Pw(D) = 0.5769 [ miles]

Using equation (1), the probability of an anhydrous ammonia release reaching the control room is:

-6 Pa = 0.019 x 10 releases cars gcar mile) x 95 (year) x 0.5769 miles

-6

= 1.04 x 10 Ereleases}

year Using equation (2), the probability of an anhydrous ammonia release reaching the control room is:

Pa = 0.27 x 10"' tons (releasesj ton mile x 7,387 (year) x 0.5769 miles

-6

= 1.15 x 10 releases I I year Similar Calculations were made for ethylene oxide and hydrochloric acid. The following table indicates the accident (release) frequencies for these chemicals along with their shipping frequencies and the resulting probabilities of a release reaching the control room:

These frequencies are acceptable since the realistic probabilities can be shown to be lower due to the following conservatisms:

1. No credit was taken in the railcar release probabilities for the improved safety due to tank car modifications required after February 28, 1981.

Information available from the U.S. Department of Transportation for the calendar year 1984 (Reference 5) shows a definite improvement of the trend in railroad accidents; between 1980 and 1984, the total number of railcar accidents in which there was a release of hazardous materials decreased nearly 50%.

2. No credit was taken for railcar accidents which do not result in the release of hazardous materials. The value used for the probability of a railcar release, Pr, as taken from Tables 5 and 6 actually is the accident probability value for railcars carrying hazardous materials where the

Pcga 9 of 10 accident damage cost was greater than $5000.00. This accident frequency rate does not necessarily imply that a release of the hazardous material had occurred, much less a release involving the entire contents of the car as assumed by the HAZCHEM analysis. From Reference 5, accident data for 1984 indicated that of 581 railcars damaged while carrying hazardous material, only 100 released any of their contents.

3. No credit was taken for unstable winds. Stability classes A, B and C were considered even though these Pasquill Categories result in highly unstable atmospheric conditions that would not be conducive to a slow diffusion of the toxic chemicals.

4. No credit was taken for the effects of the cooling lake. The nearest control room air intake faces Lake Clinton. A significant impact of the lake will be the warm surface it presents to the atmosphere which, during nighttime and winter, will be significantly warmer than the surrounding ground. This increase in temperature will cause the layer of air in contact with the lake to achieve a neutral lapse rate, especially when stable conditions prevail over the land. Thus, material released from a ground-level source would receive additional diffusion in the vertical direction over the lake than would be computed using a stable differential temperature stability cate6ory determined from the meteorological tower.

5. No credit was taken for operator incapacitation events that would not result in offsite radiological exposures in excess of 10 CFR 100 guidelines. This analysis assumed all such events resulted in an accident and subsequent radiological overexposure. There is precedent for assuming that only one out of ten operator incapacitation events would result in an overexposure (see Reference 6, Control Room Habitability Study, Beaver Valley Station).

Since the probability analysis used a conservative approach with conservative data andsincethecalculagedprobabilityoftoxicreleasesforeachofthechemicals was approximately 10 per year, anhydrous ammonia, ethylene oxide, and hydrochloric acid releases need not be considered as design basis accidents.

Conclusion This study evaluated all hazardous materials shipped via rail in the vicinity of Clinton Power Station. The shipments of flammable compressed gas were basically identical to the 1983 evaluation and thus the previous acceptable conclusions remain valid. With respect to toxic material, each substance was systematically evaluated and eliminated based on shipping frequency, potential toxicity, low vapor pressure, or an assessment of risk probability.

Based on the results of this evaluation, risks associated with railroad transportation hazards remain acceptably low and additional sensors that will isolate the control room heating, ventilating and air conditioning system are not necessary.

Page 2 of 2 Table 4 Notes:

1. The amount analyzed is the maximum railcar shipping weight from the survey.

2. The concentration shown is taken at I hour and 2 minutes following a chemical spill. This is due to an assumed maximum soak-in time for the chemical spilled of I hour.

3. The definition of the various terms used are as follows:

PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit.

This is the allovable average concentration to which employees may be exposed for an eight hour working shift.

This is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) limit.

TLV - Threshold Value Limit.

This is the maximum concentration of a chemical to which a human can be safely exposed for several hours daily over long periods of time.

IDLH - Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health concentration.

.This concentration represents a maximum level from which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape impairing symptoms or any irreversible health effects.
