14E-i      Revised 09/29/2005 APPENDIX 14F  ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF A LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT  
 
This appendix contains the original licensing basis LOCA dose analysis. This  
 
analysis has been replaced with a revised analysis that can be found in  
 
Section 14.3.5.  
 
The results of analyses described in this section demonstrate that the
 
amounts of radioactivity released to the environment in the event of a
 
loss-of-coolant accident (which has an exceedingly low probability of
 
occurrence) are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 CFR


The results of analyses described in this section demonstrate that the amounts of radioactivity released to the environment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident (which has an exceedingly low probability of occurrence) are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 CFR 100.

Loss-of-Coolant Accident
 
The loss-of-coolant accident has the potential for the highest off site
 
doses, compared to all other accidents. The loss of coolant accident may
 
result in a significant amount of clad rupture; however, since the fuel does
 
not melt, only a limited quantity of fission products are released. If it is
 
assumed that all the rods fail and that all the fission products in the gap
 
spaces were released, the total release from the core would be less than 5%

of the saturation quantities of the radioactive iodines and noble gases.   


For analytical purposes the amount of radioactive fission products that could be released from the core have been calculated according to the fundamental assumptions given in Reference 1 (TID 14844). This calculational model has been widely used in evaluating the capability of PWR containment systems in the event of the core melt down. However, it should be pointed out that no accident of this magnitude has been described for these units; in fact, an accident of this magnitude is not considered credible.

14F-1 Rev. 10  7/92 The TID 14844 model assumes that 50% of the total core iodine inventory is released, and that one half of this amount becomes plated out onto surfaces
 
within the containment. The remaining one half, or 25% of the total core
 
iodine inventory, is assumed to be in the containment atmosphere and
 
available for leakage. As a function of time the charcoal filter system
 
collects and retains the iodine, and thereby the amount of iodine available
 
for leakage is substantially reduced. 
 
The TID 14844 model also assumes that 100% of the total core noble gas
 
inventory and 1% of the total core solid fission product inventory are
 
released into the containment. 
 
Core Inventory of Iodines and Noble Gases
 
The total core inventory was calculated on the basis of the reactor having
 
been operated as follows: (1) 2300 MW(t), (2) 625 days of full-power
 
operation to produce 1-129 and the stable isotopes, and (3) except for I-129, full-power operation to reach the saturation inventory of the radioactive
 
isotopes. Table 14F-1 gives information on the major iodine isotopes
 
computed for the Turkey Point core, based on data given in TID 14844. Table
 
14F-2 gives information on the major noble gas isotopes. 
 
Iodines and Noble Gases in Containment Atmosphere
 
The amount of noble gases in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to the TID 14844 model) is the total amount listed in Table 14F-2.
 
These gases are assumed to be completely mixed in the atmosphere, and
 
available for leakage. 
 
The amount of iodine in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to  
 
the TID 14844 model, 25% of total) adds up to the following:  


Total of I-127 and I-129  2,550 grams, stable Total of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134 and 1-135      152 grams, radioactive  Total Iodine in Containment  2,702 grams   
Total of I-127 and I-129  2,550 grams, stable Total of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134 and 1-135      152 grams, radioactive  Total Iodine in Containment  2,702 grams   


14F-2 Rev. 10  7/92 The iodine, when released from the core, has been observed by those working in the field to be essentially composed of elemental iodine with little more than a trace of organic iodides. Upon reaching the containment, and as a function of time, some of the elemental iodine reacts with organic materials to form organic iodides, typified by methyl iodide. Also, some hydrogen iodide is formed.  
14F-2 Rev. 10  7/92 The iodine, when released from the core, has been observed by those working in the field to be essentially composed of elemental iodine with little more  
 
than a trace of organic iodides. Upon reaching the containment, and as a  
 
function of time, some of the elemental iodine reacts with organic materials  
 
to form organic iodides, typified by methyl iodide. Also, some hydrogen  
 
iodide is formed.  
 
The percentage of the iodine in the containment atmosphere that becomes
 
converted into methyl iodide is not precisely known. The best evidence
 
indicates that the value lies between an infinitesimal amount and 5%. It is
 
stated in Reference 2 that "Although there is only a small amount of
 
information available on which to base a judgement, a value of 10% for
 
organic (nonremovable) iodides in the total available for leakage is
 
considered very conservative...". For dose calculations the elemental iodine
 
was taken as 95% and the methyl iodide as 5%.
 
With respect to iodine cleanup, the dose calculations are based on the
 
removal that occurs only in the charcoal filter units and the 50% plateout
 
previously mentioned. That is a conservative assumption since cleanup will
 
also be achieved as follows:
: 1. Some iodine will be deposited on particles in the atmosphere. Some of these particles will be entrained by the containment borated spray
 
water. The remainder of the particles will be collected in the HEPA
 
filters. 
: 2. Based on information given in Reference 3, and companion reports, the elemental iodine (and iodides other than organic) in the atmosphere may
 
be effectively cleaned up by the containment spray water. This cleanup
 
by the water is not permanent (since no iodine retaining agent is
 
added) in that the iodine will seek an equilibrium distribution between

The percentage of the iodine in the containment atmosphere that becomes converted into methyl iodide is not precisely known. The best evidence indicates that the value lies between an infinitesimal amount and 5%. It is stated in Reference 2 that "Although there is only a small amount of information available on which to base a judgement, a value of 10% for organic (nonremovable) iodides in the total available for leakage is considered very conservative...". For dose calculations the elemental iodine was taken as 95% and the methyl iodide as 5%.

With respect to iodine cleanup, the dose calculations are based on the removal that occurs only in the charcoal filter units and the 50% plateout previously mentioned. That is a conservative assumption since cleanup will also be achieved as follows:

: 1. Some iodine will be deposited on particles in the atmosphere. Some of these particles will be entrained by the containment borated spray water. The remainder of the particles will be collected in the HEPA filters.   
: 2. Based on information given in Reference 3, and companion reports, the elemental iodine (and iodides other than organic) in the atmosphere may be effectively cleaned up by the containment spray water. This cleanup by the water is not permanent (since no iodine retaining agent is added) in that the iodine will seek an equilibrium distribution between the water and the air in accordance with its partition factor.

Containment Assumptions The containment design leak rate is 0.25% per day (2.9 x 108) fraction/sec) at the design pressure of 59 psig. In the event of a loss-of-coolant accident the containment pressure will rise to some value less than 59 psig, and will then decrease to near atmospheric pressure due to the action of the containment sprays and emergency containment coolers.
Containment Assumptions
* These values were arbitrarily limited in order to obtain a finite number in the dose calculations.
 
14F-4 Rev. 10  7/92 For the dose calculations the pressure of the containment was assumed toremain at 59 psig for the entire length of the period, and thereby the leak rate was taken as a fixed value of 0.25% per day. This assumption tends to be very conservative, particularly for the "12 hours-31 days" period.

14F-7 Rev. 10  7/92 A third example is the sensitivity of the system to unfilterable iodide. The concept of an unfilterable form of airborne iodine is hardly consistent with any physical model of filtration. It is possible, but not reasonable, on the basis of a thorough examination of the data (refer to references given in Reference 5), that some forms of iodine might be removed at very low efficiencies. It is a simplified approach to the calculations to assume that there is a form of iodine which is "unfilterable," or will be removed at zero percent efficiency, even though this does not agree with experimental data.
For the calculations it was assumed that two filter units were operating with
In order to show sensitivity, calculations were made on the assumption of varying amounts of unfilterables to determine the variation in the 0-2 hour dose at the north and south boundaries, and the 0-31 day dose at a distance of 5 miles, with the unfilterable iodine varying in concentration from zero to 15% of the iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere.

BACKGROUND  
BACKGROUND  


The licensed containment design basis pressure of 55 psig was established during the very early stages of plant licensing and has carried through to current licensing documents. The PSAR and FSAR indicated that a 55 psig reference containment design pressure was conservatively established for the design basis (29-inch double-ended pipe break) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), based on a 49.9 psig calculated peak pressure plus a 10% safety margin; and the structural proof test was conducted at 115% design pressure to check structural integrity. Refer to PSAR Sections 5.4.1.a and 12.2.3 (Reference 2), and to original (1970) FSAR Section 5.1.1, (Reference 3).

14G-1 Rev. 11  11/93 These scenarios were developed in response to Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) questions, and to address uncertainties as to the availability of primary system accumulators. As a result, some of these other cases assumed partial safeguards operation with no core cooling, which were conditions that are beyond the required postulation of a single active or passive failure. Refer to PSAR Supplement 2, Questions 1.0 and 3.0 (Reference 4). For instance, the AEC requested that a "no-core-cooling" case be considered, in which partial safeguards equipment, operating on diesel power, introduced all the safety injection water directly into the sump. This case resulted in a maximum pressure of 58.5 psig. However, the value of 55 psig came about as the result of the design basis analysis which assumed that partial safeguards equipment, operating on diesel power, provided core cooling by having 2/3 of the safety injection water flow paths reach the core.

To accommodate these hypothetical, beyond-the-licensing-basis scenarios, the containment structure was designed with additional margins to withstand a pressure of 59 psig; however, the licensed design basis LOCA analysis calculated peak pressure was 49.9 psig, and "55 psig [was] considered as nominal structural design pressure, thus allowing a margin of 10% over the calculated peak accident pressure."  Refer to original 1970 FSAR, Section 5.1.1 - Reference 3).

CONTAINMENT MARGIN EVALUATIONS  
CONTAINMENT MARGIN EVALUATIONS  


Evaluation of the capability of the containment and associated cooling systems to absorb energy additions without exceeding the containment design pressure requires consideration of two periods of time following a postulated large area rupture of the reactor coolant system.
Evaluation of the capability of the containment and associated cooling  


The first period is the blowdown phase. Since blowdown occurs too rapidly for the containment cooling systems to be activated, there must be sufficient energy absorption capability in the free volume of the containment (with due credit for energy absorption in the containment structures) to limit the resulting pressure below design.
systems to absorb energy additions without exceeding the containment design  


14G-2 Rev. 11  11/93 The second period is the post-blowdown period where the containment cooling systems must be able to absorb any postulated post-blowdown energy additions and continue to limit the containment pressure below design.

Margin - Blowdown Peak to Design Pressure Point A in Figure 14G-1 corresponds to the internal energy at the end of a DE break blowdown, 195 x 106 Btu. In order for the pressure to increase to design pressure (59 psig) the internal energy must be increased to 231 x 106 Btu (Point B). The allowed energy addition is therefore 36 x 106 Btu. Since energy transferred to the containment from the core is in the form of steam the total transferred core energy corresponding to allowed energy addition is as follows:

This allowable value of energy which could be transferred from the core to the containment without increasing the transient containment pressure to design pressure can be compared to the energy stored in the reactor vessel and transferred to the steam generator during blowdown for the double ended break. The thick metal of the reactor vessel was not considered since a negligible amount of this energy can be transferred in the short blowdown time.

Additional Energy Added as Superheat Line A to C on Figure 14G-1 represents a constant mass line extended into the superheated region. Comparison of the energy addition allowable for the superheated case relative to the saturated case shows a lesser ability of the containment to absorb an equivalent amount of energy as superheat. An addition of 8.5 x 106 Btu of energy after blowdown would cause the containment pressure to increase to design. The recombination of hydrogen and oxygen from 9.6% Zr-H2O reaction completed before the end of blowdown would be required to generate 8.5 x 106 Btu's of energy. For the case analyzed, the core was assumed to be in a subcooled state, and no Zr-H2O reaction would be possible. In order for Zr-H2O reaction to occur before the end of blowdown all of the stored initial energy must remain in the core. If this occurred a blowdown peak containment pressure of only 44.2 psig would be reached instead of 49.9 psig in the case analyzed. Lines D and E on Figure 14G-1 represent the superheat energy addition required to increase the pressure to the design pressure and this corresponds to the hydrogen oxygen recombination energy from a 15.8% Zr-H2O reaction.
resulting pressure below design.  
It is, therefore, concluded that the containment has the capability to absorb the maximum energy addition from any loss-of-coolant accident without reliance on the containment cooling system. In addition, a substantial margin exists for energy additions from arbitrary energy sources much greater than any possible.  


Margin - Post Blowdown Energy Additions The Safety Injection System is designed to rapidly cool the core and stop significant addition of mass and energy to the containment.

and continue to limit the containment pressure below design.  


Case 1 : Blowdown from a large area rupture with continued addition of the core residual energy and hot metal energy to the containment as steam.
Margin - Blowdown Peak to Design Pressure
Case 2 : Same as Case I but with the energy addition from a maximum Zirconium - water reaction.
Figure 14G-2 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 1. For this case the decay heat generated for a 2300 MWt core operated for an infinite time is conservatively assumed. This decay heat is added to the containment in the form of steam by the boiling off of water in the reactor vessel. For this case injection water merely serves as a mechanism to transfer the residual energy to the containment as it is produced. Injection water is in effect throttled at the required rate.


In addition, all the stored energy in the core and internals which is calculated to remain at the end of blow down is added in the same way during the time interval between 12.7 and 36.5 seconds (corresponds to accumulator injection time). Also all the sensible heat of the reactor vessel is added as steam exponentially over 2000 seconds time interval.
Point A in Figure 14G-1 corresponds to the internal energy at the end of a DE

The allowed energy addition is therefore 36 x 10 6 Btu. Since energy transferred to the containment from the core is in the form of steam


The containment heat removal capability started at 60 seconds exceeds the energy addition rate and the pressure does not exceed the initial blowdown value. An extended depressurization time results due to the increased heat load on the containment coolers.
the total transferred core energy corresponding to allowed energy addition is

as follows:


Figure 14G-3 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 2. To realistically account for the energy necessary to cause a metal-water reaction, sufficient energy must be stored in the core. Storing the energy in the core rather than transferring it to the coolant causes a decrease in the blowdown peak.

The reaction was calculated using the parabolic rate equation developed by Baker and assuming that the clad continues to react until zirconium oxide melting temperature of 4800oF is reached. An additional 10% reaction of the unreacted clad is assumed when the oxide melting temperature is reached. A total reaction of 32.3% has occurred after 1000 seconds. If the reactions were to be steam limited, they could result in a higher total reaction but at a much later time. The reaction provided by the parabolic rate equation therefore, imposes the greatest load on the containment cooling system.

Figure 14G-5 presents the rate of energy addition from core decay heat, Zr-H2O reaction energy, and the hydrogen-oxygen recombination energy. The heat removal capability for the partial containment cooling (one spray pump and two fan coolers) is also presented.

The integrated heat additions and heat removals for Cases 1 and 2 are plotted in Figures 14G-6 and 14G-7, respectively. These curves are presented in a manner that demonstrates the capability of the containment and the cooling systems to absorb energy. The integrated heat removal capacity is started at the internal energy corresponding to design pressure, while the integrated heat additions begin from the internal energy calculated at the end of blowdown for each case. The upper line on each curve is the containment structures and containment cooling systems capability to absorb energy additions without exceeding design pressure. The lower curve for each are the energy addition curves, and since these energy additions are the maximum possible with no credit for core cooling, there is more than adequate capability to absorb arbitrary additions.

pressure to the design pressure and this corresponds to the hydrogen oxygen
 
recombination energy from a 15.8% Zr-H 2 O reaction.
 
It is, therefore, concluded that the containment has the capability to absorb
 
the maximum energy addition from any loss-of-coolant accident without

Margin - Post Blowdown Energy Additions
 
The Safety Injection System is designed to rapidly cool the core and stop
 
significant addition of mass and energy to the containment.
 
14G-4 Rev. 11  11/93 However, the following cases are presented to demonstrate the capability of the containment to withstand post accident energy additions without credit
 
for core cooling.
 
Case 1 : Blowdown from a large area rupture with continued addition of the core residual energy and hot metal energy to the containment as
 
steam.
Case 2 : Same as Case I but with the energy addition from a maximum Zirconium - water reaction.
 
Figure 14G-2 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 1. For
 
this case the decay heat generated for a 2300 MWt core operated for an

the time interval between 12.7 and 36.5 seconds (corresponds to accumulator
 
injection time). Also all the sensible heat of the reactor vessel is added
 
as steam exponentially over 2000 seconds time interval.
 
The containment cooling system capability assumed in the analysis was one of
 
two available containment spray pumps and two of three available emergency
 
containment coolers. This is the minimum equipment available considering the
 
single failure criterion in the emergency power system, the containment spray
 
system and the fan cooler system.
 
The containment heat removal capability started at 60 seconds exceeds the
 
energy addition rate and the pressure does not exceed the initial blowdown
 
value. An extended depressurization time results due to the increased heat
 
load on the containment coolers.
 
14G-5 Rev. 11  11/93 It should be emphasized that this situation is highly unrealistic in that continued addition of steam to the containment after blowdown could not

reached at 600 seconds. At this time the heat removal capability of the
 
containment cooling system assumed to be operating (one containment spray
 
pump and two fan coolers) exceeded the energy addition from all sources.
 
For comparison the containment pressure transients for Cases 1, 2 and the
 
double ended blowdown are replotted in Figure 14G-4. It is concluded that 
 
operation of the minimum containment cooling system equipment provides the
 
capability of limiting the containment pressure below its design pressure

The following is a summary of the energy sources and the containment heat

SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction

This report presents reload characteristics and parameters associated with Turkey Point Unit 3 Cycle 28. The Cycle 28 core is a full core with 15x15 Upgrade fuel assemblies in Regions 28, 29 and 30. 1.2 General Description The Turkey Point Unit 3 reactor core is comprised of 157 fuel assemblies arranged in the core loading pattern configuration shown in Figure 14A-1.

All fuel assemblies have axial blankets at both the top and bottom of the fuel stack to reduce neutron leakage and to improve uranium utilization. Regions 28, 29 and 30 fuel assemblies are 8 inch long, with 2.6 w/o enriched UO 2 annular pellets. The design parameters for the Cycle 28 core are provided in Table 14A-1.

The Cycle 28 core uses a single type of burnable absorber, the Westinghouse Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber (IFBA) rods composed of ZrB 2 coated fuel pellets with 2.2125 mg 10B/in. The active absorber length is 120 inches. Their locations in the core are shown in Figure 14A-2.

SUMMARY

1.1 Introduction

This report presents reload characteristics and parameters associated with Turkey Point Unit 4 Cycle 29. The Cycle 29 core is a fullcore with 15x15 Upgrade fuel assemblies in Region 28, 29, 30, and 31.

1.2 General

Description The Turkey Point Unit 4 reactor core is comprised of 157 fuel assemblies arranged in the core loading pattern configuration shown in Figure 14B-1.

All fuel assemblies have axial blankets at both the top and bottom of the stack to reduce neutron leakage and to improve uranium utilization. Regions 28, 29, 30, and 31 fuel assembly blankets are 8 inches long, with Natural UO 2 annular pellets in Region 28 and 2.6 w/o enriched UO 2 annular pellets in the other regions. The design parameters for the Cycle 29 core are provided in Table 14B-1.

The Cycle 29 core uses a single type of burnable absorber, the Westinghouse Integral Fuel Burnable Absorber (IFBA) rods composed of ZrB 2 coated fuel pellets with 2.2125 mg 10 B/in. The active absorber length is 120 inches. Their locations in the core are shown in Figure 14B-2.

The core design parameters for Cycle 29 are as follows:

SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT

14E-i Revised 09/29/2005 APPENDIX 14F ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF A LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT

This appendix contains the original licensing basis LOCA dose analysis. This

analysis has been replaced with a revised analysis that can be found in

Section 14.3.5.

The results of analyses described in this section demonstrate that the

amounts of radioactivity released to the environment in the event of a

loss-of-coolant accident (which has an exceedingly low probability of

occurrence) are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 CFR

100. In summary, the computed thyroid dose values are (using the release

assumption of TID-14844):

North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance

Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9 0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10

Loss-of-Coolant Accident

The loss-of-coolant accident has the potential for the highest off site

doses, compared to all other accidents. The loss of coolant accident may

result in a significant amount of clad rupture; however, since the fuel does

not melt, only a limited quantity of fission products are released. If it is

assumed that all the rods fail and that all the fission products in the gap

spaces were released, the total release from the core would be less than 5%

of the saturation quantities of the radioactive iodines and noble gases.

For analytical purposes the amount of radioactive fission products that could

be released from the core have been calculated according to the fundamental

assumptions given in Reference 1 (TID 14844). This calculational model has

been widely used in evaluating the capability of PWR containment systems in

the event of the core melt down. However, it should be pointed out that no

accident of this magnitude has been described for these units; in fact, an

accident of this magnitude is not considered credible.

14F-1 Rev. 10 7/92 The TID 14844 model assumes that 50% of the total core iodine inventory is released, and that one half of this amount becomes plated out onto surfaces

within the containment. The remaining one half, or 25% of the total core

iodine inventory, is assumed to be in the containment atmosphere and

available for leakage. As a function of time the charcoal filter system

collects and retains the iodine, and thereby the amount of iodine available

for leakage is substantially reduced.

The TID 14844 model also assumes that 100% of the total core noble gas

inventory and 1% of the total core solid fission product inventory are

released into the containment.

Core Inventory of Iodines and Noble Gases

The total core inventory was calculated on the basis of the reactor having

been operated as follows: (1) 2300 MW(t), (2) 625 days of full-power

operation to produce 1-129 and the stable isotopes, and (3) except for I-129, full-power operation to reach the saturation inventory of the radioactive

isotopes. Table 14F-1 gives information on the major iodine isotopes

computed for the Turkey Point core, based on data given in TID 14844. Table

14F-2 gives information on the major noble gas isotopes.

Iodines and Noble Gases in Containment Atmosphere

The amount of noble gases in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to the TID 14844 model) is the total amount listed in Table 14F-2.

These gases are assumed to be completely mixed in the atmosphere, and

available for leakage.

The amount of iodine in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to

the TID 14844 model, 25% of total) adds up to the following:

Total of I-127 and I-129 2,550 grams, stable Total of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134 and 1-135 152 grams, radioactive Total Iodine in Containment 2,702 grams

14F-2 Rev. 10 7/92 The iodine, when released from the core, has been observed by those working in the field to be essentially composed of elemental iodine with little more

than a trace of organic iodides. Upon reaching the containment, and as a

function of time, some of the elemental iodine reacts with organic materials

to form organic iodides, typified by methyl iodide. Also, some hydrogen

iodide is formed.

The percentage of the iodine in the containment atmosphere that becomes

converted into methyl iodide is not precisely known. The best evidence

indicates that the value lies between an infinitesimal amount and 5%. It is

stated in Reference 2 that "Although there is only a small amount of

information available on which to base a judgement, a value of 10% for

organic (nonremovable) iodides in the total available for leakage is

considered very conservative...". For dose calculations the elemental iodine

was taken as 95% and the methyl iodide as 5%.

With respect to iodine cleanup, the dose calculations are based on the

removal that occurs only in the charcoal filter units and the 50% plateout

previously mentioned. That is a conservative assumption since cleanup will

also be achieved as follows:

1. Some iodine will be deposited on particles in the atmosphere. Some of these particles will be entrained by the containment borated spray

water. The remainder of the particles will be collected in the HEPA

filters.

2. Based on information given in Reference 3, and companion reports, the elemental iodine (and iodides other than organic) in the atmosphere may

be effectively cleaned up by the containment spray water. This cleanup

by the water is not permanent (since no iodine retaining agent is

added) in that the iodine will seek an equilibrium distribution between

the water and the air in accordance with its partition factor.

14F-3 Rev. 10 7/92 Iodine Cleanup With Emergency Containment Filter Units The capability of the emergency containment filter units to collect elemental

iodine and methyl iodide is indicated by a "decontamination factor" (DF),

which in turn depends upon a "removal constant" (). Removal constants were computed on the basis of the equation and numerical values given in Table

14F-3. The following removal constants were computed:

Number of Filter Elemental Iodine Methyl Iodide

Units Operating a b 3 (total installed) 3.53 2.74

2 (minimum safeguards) 2.35 1.83

The general decontamination factor equation is given in Table 14F-4. With

the use of this equation the following decontamination factors were

calculated, based on the iodine in the containment being composed of 0.95

elemental iodine and 0.05 methyl iodide:

Containment Assumptions

The containment design leak rate is 0.25% per day (2.9 x 10

8) fraction/sec) at the design pressure of 59 psig. In the event of a loss-of-coolant

accident the containment pressure will rise to some value less than 59 psig, and will then decrease to near atmospheric pressure due to the action of the

containment sprays and emergency containment coolers.

  • These values were arbitrarily limited in order to obtain a finite number in the dose calculations.

14F-4 Rev. 10 7/92 For the dose calculations the pressure of the containment was assumed toremain at 59 psig for the entire length of the period, and thereby the leak

rate was taken as a fixed value of 0.25% per day. This assumption tends to

be very conservative, particularly for the "12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />s-31 days" period.

Atmospheric Dispersion Model

For calculational purposes, the pressurized air-steam mixture in the

containment was assumed to leak out at the established leak rate given above.

This leakage from the containment becomes dispersed into the atmosphere and

the dose rate to an individual at any specific location is a function of

source concentration, time, distance, and atmospheric dispersion.

Dilution multipliers (x/Q), which reflect relative concentrations of

radioactivity in the atmosphere as a function of distance from the

containment, were calculated in accordance with equations and meteorological

conditions given in Tables 14F-5 and 14F-6.

No credit was taken for the building wake effect for either the "2-12 hours" period or the "12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />s-31 days" period. This introduces some conservatism

near the site boundary, but the error diminishes with distance. The values

of y and z were taken from Reference 4.

The dilution multiplier values (in seconds/cubic meter) for the stated

conditions at various locations are tabulated below:

14F-5 Rev. 10 7/92 Thyroid Dose Computations The thyroid doses for various time periods were calculated according to the

equation and values given in Table 14F-7.

The following values were obtained:

North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance

Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9

0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10

These values demonstrate that the amount of radioactivity that would be

released to the environment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident give

dose values that are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10

CFR 100.

Several parameter studies were performed in order to indicate the change in

thyroid dose values that would result in the event of a deviation in an

original assumption. For example, it was found that the doses remain almost

unaffected in case of filter unit fan failure after a brief period of time.

The above given dose values were based on two filter units operating

continuously for the duration of the accident. The principal cleanup occurs

within the first two hours; in fact, within this period of time the iodine

concentration will be reduced to less than 2% of the original concentration.

14F-6 Rev. 10 7/92 After two hours, the filter units serve to continue cleaning the air of residual amounts of iodine. The following tabulation illustrates the

insensitivity of the dose values due to equipment malfunction after two

hours.

Dose at Exclusion Radius, rem

Normal Two filter units operating 93 109 31 days or longer.

In case a filter unit does fail after operating for a period of time, the

radioactive decay heat is absorbed by the borated water spray system to the

filters, thereby holding the collected iodine within the charcoal.

Another example is the sensitivity of the system to the methyl iodide

content, since it cannot be established at this time precisely what fraction

of the iodine will be in the methyl iodide form. Calculations were made to

examine the variation in the 0-2 hour dose at the north boundary that would

occur if the methyl iodide content in the containment atmosphere varied from

0% to as much as 15%.

.15 DF 4.75 4.68 4.62 4.56 Dose, rem 92 93 94 95

For the calculations it was assumed that two filter units were operating with

a of 2.35 for elemental iodine and a of 1.83 for methyl iodide, as given earlier. One concludes from the above that the exact amount of methyl iodide

does not need to be known since the total dose varies very little.

14F-7 Rev. 10 7/92 A third example is the sensitivity of the system to unfilterable iodide. The concept of an unfilterable form of airborne iodine is hardly consistent with

any physical model of filtration. It is possible, but not reasonable, on the

basis of a thorough examination of the data (refer to references given in

Reference 5), that some forms of iodine might be removed at very low

efficiencies. It is a simplified approach to the calculations to assume that

there is a form of iodine which is "unfilterable," or will be removed at zero

percent efficiency, even though this does not agree with experimental data.

In order to show sensitivity, calculations were made on the assumption of

varying amounts of unfilterables to determine the variation in the 0-2 hour

dose at the north and south boundaries, and the 0-31 day dose at a distance

of 5 miles, with the unfilterable iodine varying in concentration from zero

to 15% of the iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere. The

results, with 2 filter units operating, were as follows:

Fraction of Iodine that is Unfilterable:

0-31 day Dose, rem, at 5 Miles 10 16 22 28

In reviewing the results computed on this basis, it is seen that the doses

are all much less than 300 rem, even with the unfilterable content being 15%.

Although the applicant does not believe that this calculational model is the

proper one to use, it should be noted that the calculated dose values are

low.

Short-term Thyroid Doses at Beach and Scout Camps

The maximum thyroid doses have also been considered for areas within the site

boundary temporarily occupied by the public assuming the TID-14844 accident

analysis model. These areas are the Turkey Point Beach at 2000 feet, the

Girl Scout Camp at 2300 feet and the Boy Scout Camp at 2900 feet from the nearest containment structure. The respective /Q values at these distances, considering the volume source correction, are 3.2 x 10

-4 , 2.8 x 10

14F-8 Rev. 10 7/92 By selection of a very conservative value of 59 psig maximum containment pressure for the leakage driving function over the entire initial two hours, the effective maximum containment leak rate is 0.25% / day. The resultant

maximum two hour thyroid dose at the indicated locations, generated from an

initial 95% elemental iodine and 5% methyl iodide atmospheric constituency, are:

Turkey Point Beach 190 rem Girl Scout Camp 170 rem Boy Scout Camp 138 rem

These values point out the requirement for the site evacuation procedure to

be implemented within the initial 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period, which will be provided and

followed.

Whole Body Dose Computations

Whole body doses resulting from the accident were also computed. The major

contribution is the dose from immersion in the plume. The direct radiation

dose from the containment is insignificant due to the shielding provided by

its walls.

Direct doses were calculated assuming immersion in a semi-infinite cloud

containing a uniform distribution of the gas isotopes which have leaked from

the containment. Cloud concentrations assumed were those actually calculated

at the centerline of the plume.

The following whole body doses from the passing cloud were computed:

North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance

Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 3.1 2.2 0.4 0-31 day dose, rem 5.2 3.5 0.6 These values are small compared to the guidelines specified in 10 CFR 100.

14F-9 Rev. 10 7/92 Radiological Assessment of Containment Purge The radiological doses due to a postulated loss of coolant accident presented

in the proceeding analyses assumed that there was no containment purging

occurring at the onset of the accident. Discussed herein are the results of

an analysis performed to determine the incremental radiological dose at the

site boundary and low population zone assuming the purge valves are fully

open when the accident initiates and close upon receipt of signal as

designed. These incremental doses, when added to those previously presented

in Section 14.3.5, provide a maximum set of doses for a LOCA with containment

purge. The results of this evaluation are presented in the following tables:

(6)

THYROID DOSE (rem)

Site Boundary - 93 10 103 (0-2 hour)

Low Population Zone - 9 1 10 (0-2 hour)

Increment Due

Location LOCA To Purging Total

Site boundary - 3.1 .002 3.1 (0-2 hour)

Low Population Zone - .4

.0002 .4 (0-2 hour)

The major assumptions which were used in the evaluation of the incremental

dose are listed below:

1. The containment purge valves are closed 5 seconds after the containment high pressure signal is transmitted. There is a 2.7 second delay before

14F-10 Rev. 10 7/92 the increased containment pressure is detected which results in a total of 7.7 seconds for valve closure (8 seconds was conservatively assumed).

2. Radioactive releases via the purge valves during closure is from the Reactor Coolant System only.
3. The primary coolant iodine activity corresponds to the maximum limit of 30 Ci/gm Dose Equivalent.
4. It is conservatively assumed during the initial 8 seconds that 5O% of the blowdown (worst FSAR case) from the break flashes and becomes

homogeneously mixed in the containment atmosphere. All of the iodine in

the flashed steam is assumed to become airborne.

5. The flow through the purge valves is assumed to be a mixture of steam and water. Frictionless flow through the valves is assumed.
6. FSAR meteorology is assumed.
7. Standard TID 14844 methodology was used to calculate the incremental doses.

The results clearly indicate that the anticipated dose caused by a LOCA with

containment purging at the onset of the accident is well within the limits of

10 CFR 100.

Rev. 10 7/92 APPENDIX 14G HISTORICAL DISCUSSION OF CONTAINMENT PRESSURE TRANSIENT MARGINS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL PRESSURE OF 59 PSIG

INTRODUCTION

This appendix contains the original FSAR discussion of the containment design

pressure margins associated with the original containment structural

capability pressure of 59 psig. Since the original containment structural

capability pressure of 59 psig has been replaced with the licensed design

basis pressure (55 psig) approved by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)

during the operating license stage, this discussion is of historical

importance only and does not apply to the current licensed containment design

pressure or to the basis for calculating the minimum required prestress

forces for the containment post-tensioning system. Refer to the engineering

evaluation contained in Reference 1.

BACKGROUND

The licensed containment design basis pressure of 55 psig was established

during the very early stages of plant licensing and has carried through to

current licensing documents. The PSAR and FSAR indicated that a 55 psig

reference containment design pressure was conservatively established for the

design basis (29-inch double-ended pipe break) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), based on a 49.9 psig calculated peak pressure plus a 10% safety

margin; and the structural proof test was conducted at 115% design pressure

to check structural integrity. Refer to PSAR Sections 5.4.1.a and 12.2.3 (Reference 2), and to original (1970) FSAR Section 5.1.1, (Reference 3).

Other LOCA study cases, assuming partial safeguards availability, were also

considered. These study cases did not constitute licensed design basis

accident scenarios, but rather provided an indication of potential

containment performance requirements beyond-the-licensing-basis for purposes

of establishing conservative design margins for the containment structures.

14G-1 Rev. 11 11/93 These scenarios were developed in response to Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) questions, and to address uncertainties as to the availability of primary

system accumulators. As a result, some of these other cases assumed partial

safeguards operation with no core cooling, which were conditions that are

beyond the required postulation of a single active or passive failure. Refer

to PSAR Supplement 2, Questions 1.0 and 3.0 (Reference 4). For instance, the

AEC requested that a "no-core-cooling" case be considered, in which partial

safeguards equipment, operating on diesel power, introduced all the safety

injection water directly into the sump. This case resulted in a maximum

pressure of 58.5 psig. However, the value of 55 psig came about as the

result of the design basis analysis which assumed that partial safeguards

equipment, operating on diesel power, provided core cooling by having 2/3 of

the safety injection water flow paths reach the core.

To accommodate these hypothetical, beyond-the-licensing-basis scenarios, the

containment structure was designed with additional margins to withstand a

pressure of 59 psig; however, the licensed design basis LOCA analysis

calculated peak pressure was 49.9 psig, and "55 psig [was] considered as

nominal structural design pressure, thus allowing a margin of 10% over the

calculated peak accident pressure." Refer to original 1970 FSAR, Section

5.1.1 - Reference 3).

CONTAINMENT MARGIN EVALUATIONS

Evaluation of the capability of the containment and associated cooling

systems to absorb energy additions without exceeding the containment design

pressure requires consideration of two periods of time following a postulated

large area rupture of the reactor coolant system.

The first period is the blowdown phase. Since blowdown occurs too rapidly

for the containment cooling systems to be activated, there must be sufficient

energy absorption capability in the free volume of the containment (with due

credit for energy absorption in the containment structures) to limit the

resulting pressure below design.

14G-2 Rev. 11 11/93 The second period is the post-blowdown period where the containment cooling systems must be able to absorb any postulated post-blowdown energy additions

and continue to limit the containment pressure below design.

Margin - Blowdown Peak to Design Pressure

Point A in Figure 14G-1 corresponds to the internal energy at the end of a DE

break blowdown, 195 x 10 6 Btu. In order for the pressure to increase to design pressure (59 psig) the internal energy must be increased to 231 x 10 6 Btu (Point B). The allowed energy addition is therefore 36 x 10 6 Btu. Since energy transferred to the containment from the core is in the form of steam

the total transferred core energy corresponding to allowed energy addition is

as follows:

h fg 921.9 Q core = Q allowed = 36 x 10 6 x = 28.4 x 10 6 Btu h g 1177.6

This allowable value of energy which could be transferred from the core to the containment without increasing the transient containment pressure to

design pressure can be compared to the energy stored in the reactor vessel

and transferred to the steam generator during blowdown for the double ended

break. The thick metal of the reactor vessel was not considered since a

negligible amount of this energy can be transferred in the short blowdown

time.

Stored in the core 15.0 x 10 6 Btu Core internals Metal 0.3 x 10 6 Btu Transferred to Steam Generators 1.4 x 10 6 Btu

16.7 x 10 6 Btu Thus, the containment has the capability to limit containment pressure below

design even if all of the available energy sources were transferred to the

containment at the end of blowdown. This would also include no credit for

14G-3 Rev. 11 11/93 energy absorption in the steam generator. For this to occur an extremely high core to coolant heat transfer coefficient is necessary. This would

result in the core and internals being completely subcooled and limit the

potential for release of fission products.

Additional Energy Added as Superheat

Line A to C on Figure 14G-1 represents a constant mass line extended into the

superheated region. Comparison of the energy addition allowable for the

superheated case relative to the saturated case shows a lesser ability of the

containment to absorb an equivalent amount of energy as superheat. An

addition of 8.5 x 10 6 Btu of energy after blowdown would cause the containment pressure to increase to design. The recombination of hydrogen

and oxygen from 9.6% Zr-H 2 O reaction completed before the end of blowdown would be required to generate 8.5 x 10 6 Btu's of energy. For the case analyzed, the core was assumed to be in a subcooled state, and no Zr-H 2 O reaction would be possible. In order for Zr-H 2 O reaction to occur before the end of blowdown all of the stored initial energy must remain in the core. If

this occurred a blowdown peak containment pressure of only 44.2 psig would be

reached instead of 49.9 psig in the case analyzed. Lines D and E on Figure

14G-1 represent the superheat energy addition required to increase the

pressure to the design pressure and this corresponds to the hydrogen oxygen

recombination energy from a 15.8% Zr-H 2 O reaction.

It is, therefore, concluded that the containment has the capability to absorb

the maximum energy addition from any loss-of-coolant accident without

reliance on the containment cooling system. In addition, a substantial

margin exists for energy additions from arbitrary energy sources much greater

than any possible.

Margin - Post Blowdown Energy Additions

The Safety Injection System is designed to rapidly cool the core and stop

significant addition of mass and energy to the containment.

14G-4 Rev. 11 11/93 However, the following cases are presented to demonstrate the capability of the containment to withstand post accident energy additions without credit

for core cooling.

Case 1 : Blowdown from a large area rupture with continued addition of the core residual energy and hot metal energy to the containment as

steam.

Case 2 : Same as Case I but with the energy addition from a maximum Zirconium - water reaction.

Figure 14G-2 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 1. For

this case the decay heat generated for a 2300 MWt core operated for an

infinite time is conservatively assumed. This decay heat is added to the

containment in the form of steam by the boiling off of water in the reactor

vessel. For this case injection water merely serves as a mechanism to

transfer the residual energy to the containment as it is produced. Injection

water is in effect throttled at the required rate.

In addition, all the stored energy in the core and internals which is

calculated to remain at the end of blow down is added in the same way during

the time interval between 12.7 and 36.5 seconds (corresponds to accumulator

injection time). Also all the sensible heat of the reactor vessel is added

as steam exponentially over 2000 seconds time interval.

The containment cooling system capability assumed in the analysis was one of

two available containment spray pumps and two of three available emergency

containment coolers. This is the minimum equipment available considering the

single failure criterion in the emergency power system, the containment spray

system and the fan cooler system.

The containment heat removal capability started at 60 seconds exceeds the

energy addition rate and the pressure does not exceed the initial blowdown

value. An extended depressurization time results due to the increased heat

load on the containment coolers.

14G-5 Rev. 11 11/93 It should be emphasized that this situation is highly unrealistic in that continued addition of steam to the containment after blowdown could not

occur. The accumulator and Safety Injection System acts to rapidly reflood

and cool the core.

Figure 14G-3 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 2. To

realistically account for the energy necessary to cause a metal-water

reaction, sufficient energy must be stored in the core. Storing the energy

in the core rather than transferring it to the coolant causes a decrease in

the blowdown peak.

The reaction was calculated using the parabolic rate equation developed by

Baker and assuming that the clad continues to react until zirconium oxide

melting temperature of 4800 o F is reached. An additional 10% reaction of the unreacted clad is assumed when the oxide melting temperature is reached. A

total reaction of 32.3% has occurred after 1000 seconds. If the reactions

were to be steam limited, they could result in a higher total reaction but at

a much later time. The reaction provided by the parabolic rate equation

therefore, imposes the greatest load on the containment cooling system.

As in Case 2, the residual heat and sensible heat is added to the containment

as steam. The energy from the Zr-H 2 O reaction is added to the containment as it is produced. The hydrogen was assumed to burn as it entered the

containment from the break.

The blowdown peak was reduced to 44 psig and a peak pressure of 57.7 psig was

reached at 600 seconds. At this time the heat removal capability of the

containment cooling system assumed to be operating (one containment spray

pump and two fan coolers) exceeded the energy addition from all sources.

For comparison the containment pressure transients for Cases 1, 2 and the

double ended blowdown are replotted in Figure 14G-4. It is concluded that

operation of the minimum containment cooling system equipment provides the

capability of limiting the containment pressure below its design pressure

with the addition of all available energy sources and without credit for the

cooling effect from the safety injection system.

14G-6 Rev. 11 11/93 DISCUSSION OF ENERGY SOURCES USED IN CASES 1 AND 2

The following is a summary of the energy sources and the containment heat

removal capacities used in the containment capability study. Figure 14G-5

presents the rate of energy addition from core decay heat, Zr-H 2 O reaction energy, and the hydrogen-oxygen recombination energy. The heat removal

capability for the partial containment cooling (one spray pump and two fan

coolers) is also presented. These heat removal values are for operation with

the containment at design pressure.

The integrated heat additions and heat removals for Cases 1 and 2 are plotted

in Figures 14G-6 and 14G-7, respectively. These curves are presented in a

manner that demonstrates the capability of the containment and the cooling

systems to absorb energy. The integrated heat removal capacity is started at

the internal energy corresponding to design pressure, while the integrated

heat additions begin from the internal energy calculated at the end of

blowdown for each case. The upper line on each curve is the containment

structures and containment cooling systems capability to absorb energy

additions without exceeding design pressure. The lower curve for each are

the energy addition curves, and since these energy additions are the maximum

possible with no credit for core cooling, there is more than adequate

capability to absorb arbitrary additions.

The curves in Figures 14G-8 and 14G-9 present the individual contribution of

the heat removal and heat addition source, respectively.
