Since these valves are sealed closed in MODES 1 through 4, a CPVIS cannot change the sealed closed condition of the valves. Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 is unrelated to any detection or indication in the control room of degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion 1.Criterion 2 A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 provides OPERABILITY requirements Serial No. 05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 74 of 79 for the CPVIS and does not cover a process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. The design feature of this signal ensures a closure signal is provided to the containment purge valves in the event they are open.

Since the purge valves are required to be sealed closed (Technical Specification 3/4.6.3.2), the deletion of OPERABILITY requirements for CPVIS does not challenge or affect the integrity of any fission product barrier and continues to maintain the containment as a fission product barrier, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion 3.Criterion 4 A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.The deletion of OPERABILITY requirements for the CPVIS has no impact on public health or safety.

& Background 1.1 Introduction This report describes the evaluations conducted to assess the radiological consequences of fully implementing the Regulatory Guide 1.183 (RG 1.183),"Alternative Radiological Source Terms for Evaluating Design Basis Accidents at Nuclear Power Reactors," (Reference
- 1) accident methodology for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2). The accident source term discussed in Reference 1 is herein referred to as the alternate source term (AST).The evaluations documented herein have employed the detailed methodology contained in RG 1.183 for use in design basis accident analyses for alternate source terms. The results have been compared with the acceptance criteria contained either in 10 CFR 50.67, "Accident Source Term," (Reference
- 2) or the supplemental guidance in RG 1.183.This application, if granted, would:* Implement RG 1.183 as the design basis source term for MPS2.* Allow MPS2 to achieve a consistent design basis for all accident dose assessments.
- Increase operational flexibility by allowing increased unfiltered control room in-leakage.
- Increase operational flexibility by allowing increased secondary containment bypass leakage.* Increase operational flexibility by allowing increased refueling water storage tank (RWST) backleakage.
- Increase the primary to secondary leak rate limit.* Redefine the Dose Equivalent 1-131 definition.
- Approve an operator action to isolate the control room within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following a main steam line break.* Allow the time for an operator to place the control room emergency ventilation system (CREV) in service to increase following a control room isolation.
- Clarify existing technical specifications.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 4 of 79 The radiological dose analyses discussed in this report were performed with a controlled version of the computer code RADTRAD-NAI 1.1 a (QA) (Reference 3).The RADTRAD computer code calculates the control room and offsite doses resulting from releases of radioactive isotopes based on user supplied atmospheric dispersion factors, breathing rates, occupancy factors and dose conversion factors. Innovative Technology Solutions of Albuquerque, New Mexico developed the RADTRAD code for the NRC. The original version of the NRC RADTRAD code was documented in NUREG/CR-6604 (Reference 4). The Numerical Applications, Inc. (NAI) version of RADTRAD was originally derived from NRC/ITS RADTRAD, version 3.01. Subsequently, RADTRAD-NAI was changed to conform to NRC/ITS RADTRAD, Version 3.02 with additional modifications to improve usability.
The RADTRAD-NAI code is maintained under NAI's QA program, which conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.Control room atmospheric dispersion factors were evaluated using the ARCON96 computer code (Reference 5). The ORIGENS and QADS computer codes from the SCALE code package (Reference
- 6) were used to evaluate the containment and filter shine doses.1.2 Current Licensing Basis Summary The current design basis radiological analyses that appear in the MPS2 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report (UFSAR) consist of assessments of the following events: 1) Main Steam Line Break (MSLB)2) Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA)3) Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR)4) Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA)5) Fuel Handling Accident (FHA)6) Spent Fuel Cask Drop Accident*7) Waste Gas System Failure (WGSF)*The MPS2 Spent Fuel Cask Drop Accident is a subset of accidents represented as a Fuel Handling Accident in FSAR Section 14.7.4. It is an event in the spent fuel pool where a shielded cask tips over and damages all fuel within the potential impact area.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 5 of 79 1.3 Analysis Assumptions
& Key Parameter Values 1.3.1 Selection of Events Requiring Reanalysis Standard Review Plan (SRP) 15.0.1, Section 1, Item Number 4, supersedes the radiological analyses assumptions, acceptance criteria, and methodologies identified in the following SRP sections for PWRs: a. Section 15.1.5, Steam System Piping Failures Inside and Outside of Containment.
- b. Sections 15.3.3-15.3.4, Reactor Coolant Pump Rotor Seizure and Reactor Coolant Pump Shaft Break.c. Section 15.4.8, Spectrum of Rod Ejection Accidents.
- d. Section 15.6.2, Radiological Consequences of the Failure of Small Lines Carrying Primary Coolant Outside Containment.
- e. Section 15.6.3, Radiological Consequences of Steam Generator Tube Failure.f. Section 15.6.5, Loss-of-Coolant Accidents Resulting From Spectrum of Postulated Piping Breaks Within the Reactor Coolant System Pressure Boundary.g. Section 15.7.4, Radiological Consequences of Fuel Handling Accidents.
A full implementation of the AST (as defined in Section 1.2.1 of Reference
- 1) is proposed for MPS2. To support the licensing and plant operation changes discussed in Section 2.0 of this application, the loss of coolant accident (LOCA)and fuel handling accident (FHA) were reanalyzed employing the RG 1.183 source term. To ensure that all accident analyses have a consistent basis, the following accidents were also reanalyzed: " Main Steam Une Break (MSLB) Accident;* Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA); and* Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) Accident.The analysis methodology applied the guidance of RG 1.183, in conjunction with the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) methodology.
If this request is granted, the implementation of RG 1.183 in this plant-specific application will become the bases for the source term employed in design basis radiological analyses for MPS2.The Waste Gas System Failure radiological analysis is being relocated to FSAR Chapter 11, Radioactive Waste Processing and Radiation Protection Systems.This event is unaffected by the conversion to AST. Whole body dose and thyroid Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 6 of 79 dose will be retained with the acceptance criteria remaining as "substantially below 10 CFR Part 100 guidelines".
The proposed licensing and plant operational changes are discussed in Section 2.0. These changes require appropriate changes to the MPS2 operating license and technical specifications, which are also described in Section 2.0 of this report.The changes considered as a result of the re-analyses and clarifications are listed below: a. Revise definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 in Section 1.19 of the Technical Specifications Definitions to reference Federal Guidance Report No. 11 (FGR 11), "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion," 1988, as the source of inhalation thyroid dose conversion factors (Reference 8).b. Change the combined leakage rate acceptance criteria for all penetrations that are secondary containment bypass leakage paths in Technical Specification LCO 3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage" from < 0.0072 La to <0.014 La.c. Change the control room unfiltered in-leakage limit in Technical Specification SR 4.7.6.1.e.3 from 130 SCFM to 200 SCFM and clarify the applicability.
- d. Revise the primary to secondary leakage limit in Technical Specification LCO 3.4.6.2.c from 0.035 GPM to 75 GPD through any one steam generator.
- e. Approve a new operator action to isolate the control room up to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> after a MSLB.f. Approve a timing change to an existing operator action such that within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> (instead of 10 minutes) of isolation, the control room emergency ventilation system is placed in filtered recirculation.
- g. Delete Technical Specification LCO 3.3.4 and SR 3.3.4, "Containment Purge Valve Isolation Signal," since its intent is addressed by LCO 3.6.3.2,"Containment Ventilation System." h. Revise the language of Technical Specification LCO 3.3.3.1 Action b to be consistent with similar action statements within that technical specification.
- i. Revise the technical specification bases to reflect the above listed changes, as appropriate, in accordance with Technical Specification 6.23,"Bases Control Program."
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 7 of 79 These changes require reanalysis of the LOCA, FHA, SGTR, MSLB, and CREA.Sections 3.1 through 3.5, provide the detailed description of the re-analyses for these events.1.3.2 Analysis Assumptions
& Key Parameter Values This section describes the general analysis approach and presents analysis assumptions and key parameter values that are common to the accident analyses performed to implement the RG 1.183 source term. Sections 3.1 through 3.5 of this attachment provide specific assumptions that were employed for the LOCA, FHA, SGTR, MSLB and CREA, respectively.
The dose analyses documented in this application employ the TEDE calculation method as specified in RG 1.183 for AST applications.
TEDE is determined at the exclusion area boundary (EAB) for the worst 2-hour interval.
TEDE for individuals at the low population zone (LPZ) and for MPS2 control room personnel are calculated for the assumed 30-day duration of the event (2-hour duration for LPZ for the fuel handling accident).
The TEDE concept is defined to be the Deep Dose Equivalent, DDE, (from external exposure) plus the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent, CEDE, (from internal exposure).
In this manner, TEDE assesses the impact of all relevant nuclides upon all body organs, in contrast with the previous single, critical organ (thyroid) concept for assessing internal exposure.
The DDE is nominally equivalent to the Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) from external exposure if the whole body is irradiated uniformly.
Since this is a reasonable assumption for submergence exposure situations, EDE is used in lieu of DDE in determining the contribution of external dose to the TEDE. EDE dose conversion factors were taken from Table 111.1 of Federal Guidance Report 12 (Reference
- 9) per Section 4.1.4 of Reference 1.There are a number of common analysis assumptions and plant features that are used in the analysis of all of the events. These items are presented in Tables 1.3-1 through 1.3-5.

Subsequent to approval of this license amendment, the design basis source term for use in evaluating the consequences of design basis accidents will become the source term documented in RG 1.183 (Reference 1), including any deviations approved by the NRC staff. This license amendment application is made pursuant to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67(b)(1), which specifies that any licensee seeking to revise its current accident source term used in design basis radiological consequences analysis shall apply for a license amendment under 10 CFR 50.90.2.2 Increase in the Control Room Unfiltered In-leakage Rate Control room unfiltered in-leakage testing is performed to ensure that the in-leakage does not exceed the criteria specified in the technical specifications.
The technical specification acceptance criteria were developed to ensure acceptable dose consequences to the control room operators following a radiological event. The proposed change in the unfiltered in-leakage criteria, from 130 SCFM to 200 SCFM, coupled with the analysis of the consequences from radiological events using the core and coolant source term specified by RG 1.183 continue to meet the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183.This impacts Technical Specification SR 4.7.6.1 .e.3.In addition, clarification will be made regarding the APPLICABILITY of Technical Specification LCO 3.7.6.1. ACTIONs 3.7.6.1.d and 3.7.6.1.e are stated as applicable during "MODES 5 and 6 and during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." This statement will be modified to "MODES 5 and 6 or during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." 2.3 Increase in the Secondary Containment Bypass Leakage Rate Secondary containment bypass leakage testing is performed to ensure that the leakage rate does not exceed the leakage rate values as specified in the technical specifications.
The technical specification acceptance criteria were Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 13 of 79 developed to ensure acceptable dose consequences following a radiological event. The proposed increase in the acceptable secondary containment bypass leakage rate from < 0.0072 La to < 0.014 La, coupled with the analysis of the consequences from radiological events using the core and coolant source term specified by RG 1.183 continue to meet the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183. This impacts Technical Specification LCO 3.6.1.2.c.
2.4 Increase in the RCS Primary-to-Secondary Leak Rate Technical specification limits on RCS primary-to-secondary leakage are necessary to ensure that dose consequences to the general public and the control room operators following a radiological event fall within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183. The proposed increase in the primary-to-secondary leak rate limit from 0.035 GPM (equivalent to 50.4 GPD) to 75 GPD, coupled with the analysis of the consequences from radiological events using the core and coolant source term specified by RG 1.183, continue to meet the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183. It should be noted that the proposed radiological design basis analyses are based on a primary-to-secondary leak rate of 150 GPD while 75 GPD is the proposed leak rate limit in the technical specifications.
The current design basis analyses limit is 0.035 GPM (50.4 GPD). The higher leak rate assumed in the design analyses provides a conservative margin beyond the proposed technical specification requirements in consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01, "Steam Generator Tube Integrity and Associated Technical Specifications," and the associated TSTF-449.
This impacts Technical Specification LCO 3.4.6.2.c.
2.5 Approve a New Operator Action A new operator action is required to isolate the control room within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following a MSLB and initiate filtered recirculation consistent with Section 2.6.This ensures that dose consequences to the control room operators are within the acceptance criteria of 10 CFR 50.67.2.6 Approve a Change to an Existing Operator Action A change to an existing operator action is required to reduce operator burden.The current operator action requires that following control room isolation, control room emergency ventilation must be aligned to the filtered recirculation mode within 10 minutes. The proposed accident dose evaluations are assessed assuming CREV is aligned at 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> instead of 10 minutes to minimize prompt steps that an operator must perform following an accident.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 14 of 79 2.7 Redefine Dose Equivalent 1-131 Dose equivalent 1-131 (DEQ 1-131) is defined in the technical specifications for the purpose of assessing RCS specific activity relative to operating limits as well as for specific reporting requirements.
The proposed change ensures that the technical specification definition is consistent with the analysis of the consequences from radiological events using the coolant source term at the technical specification DEQ 1-131 specific activity limit specified by RG 1.183.This impacts Technical Specification Definition 1.19.2.8 Control Room X/Qs MPS2 control room X/Qs have been created or revised to reflect the requirements of RG 1.194 (Reference 10).2.9 Deletion of TS 3/4.3.4 Technical Specification LCO 3.3.4 and all associated surveillance requirements and bases are being eliminated.
This LCO requires operability of a containment purge valve isolation signal during MODES 1 through 4. Since LCO 3.6.3.2 requires that the purge valves be sealed and locked closed during Modes 1 through 4, there is no reason to maintain operability of the signal while in Modes 1 through 4. No credit is taken in any radiological accident analysis for operability of the signal. Since the system is not credited during Modes 1 through 4, the elimination of the technical specification is proposed.
Removal of the technical specification is further warranted since it does not meet the criteria in 10 CFR 50.36 for inclusion into the technical specifications.
2.10 Clarification of TS 3/4.3.3 Technical Specification LCO 3.3.3.1, Action b, contains wording that is inconsistent with ACTION descriptions for Table 3.3-6. This inconsistent wording has been found to be confusing.
Action b states '"With one or more radiation monitoring channels inoperable, take the ACTION shown in Table 3.3-6..." Action b is being rewritten, consistent with other action statements in this technical specification, to say "With the number of operable channels less than required by the MINIMUM CHANNELS OPERABLE requirements, take the ACTION shown in Table 3.3-6..." 2.11 Miscellaneous Bases Only Changes Bases-only changes will be made to change "10 CFR 100" to "10 CFR 50.67", and to delete phrases such as "well within" and "small fraction of" which will not have regulatory significance with the AST design basis.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 15 of 79 Clarification will be provided regarding timing of operator actions and the time requirements to perform those actions to isolate the control room and subsequent alignment of control room emergency ventilation to the filtered, recirculation mode. In addition, clarification will be made with regard to APPLICABILITY of certain ACTION statements for control room emergency ventilation.
The Bases Changes are provided for information only and will be implemented in accordance with Technical Specification 6.23, "Bases Control Program." 2.12 Summary of Design and Licensing Basis Changes This Section provides a summary of changes from current design and licensing basis values to revised assumptions for each analysis.
The summary is listed in Table 2.12-1 and is broken into segments as detailed in Section 3. The existing analyses for the radiological events were performed at various times using different codes and/or hand calculations.
The common element for these events is the assumption of the radiological source term documented in TID-14844 (Reference 7). The proposed amendment utilizes the approach in RG 1.183 and its supporting documents.
In addition, margin was added to various secondary side mass flow parameters in anticipation of possible changes to thermal-hydraulic analyses that define the inputs to the radiological calculations.
This accounts for differences in some of the parameters listed in Table 2.12-1.

- 150 GPD is used as the design basis input to support a 75 GPD leak rate limit in consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01 and TSTF-449.Control Room filter efficiency values of < 90% for elemental and aerosol iodines and 70% organic iodine were used in the control room assumptions.
These values are lower than the design basis values of 90% for all iodine species but are used only to increase conservatism in the analyses and not to change the current design basis efficiencies.
The TEDE values for the MPS2 control room presented in the license amendment request are conservative using the lower efficiency filter values. While the filter shine dose from higher efficiency filters might increase only slightly, the inhalation dose from using lower efficiency filters results in a very conservative value that outweighs any slight increase.In addition, credited filter efficiencies for the enclosure building filtration system (EBFS) of 70% for all iodine species were used in the analyses.
These values are lower than the design basis values of 90% for elemental and aerosol iodines and 70% for organic iodine but are used only to increase conservatism in the analyses and not to change the current design basis efficiencies.

& Evaluation As documented in Section 1.3.1, this application involves the reanalysis of the design basis radiological analyses for the following accidents: " Loss-of-Coolant Accident (LOCA)* Fuel Handling Accident (FHA)* Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) Accident* Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) Accident" Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA).These analyses have incorporated the features of the AST, including the TEDE analysis methodology and modeling of plant systems and equipment operation that influence the events. The calculated radiological consequences are compared with the revised limits provided in 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), and as clarified per the additional guidance in RG 1.183 for events with a higher probability of occurrence.
Dose calculations are performed at the EAB for the worst 2-hour period, and for the LPZ and MPS2 control room for the duration of the accident (30 days). DNC performed all the radiological consequence calculations for the AST with the RADTRAD-NAI and SCALE computer code systems (References 4 and 6) as discussed above. The dose acceptance criteria that apply for implementing the AST are provided in Table 3.0-1.

The analysis includes dose from several sources. They are:* Containment Leakage Plume* ECCS Component Leakage" Refueling Water Storage Tank Vent" Shine from the plume" Shine from containment
- Shine from the control room filter loading Doses are calculated at the EAB for the worst-case two-hour period, at the LPZ, and in the MPS2 control room. The methodology used to evaluate the control room and offsite doses resulting from a LOCA is consistent with RG 1.183 (Reference 1).3.1.1 LOCA Scenario Description The design basis LOCA scenario for radiological calculations is initiated assuming a major rupture of the primary reactor coolant system piping. In order to yield radioactive releases of the magnitude specified in RG 1.183, it is also assumed that the ECCS does not provide adequate core cooling, such that significant core melting occurs. This general scenario does not represent any specific accident sequence, but is representative of a class of severe damage incidents that were evaluated in the development of the RG 1.183 source term characteristics.
Such a scenario is expected to require multiple failures of systems and equipment and lies beyond the severity of incidents evaluated for design basis transient analysis.3.1.2 LOCA Source Term Definition RG 1.183 (Reference

The primary differences between the key characteristics of the two source terms are shown in Table 3.1-1 below.

Release duration applies only to the containment release.The ECCS leakage portion of the analysis conservatively assumes that the entire core release fraction is in the containment sump from the start of the LOCA.b. Noble Gases are not scrubbed from the containment atmosphere and therefore are not found in either the sump or ECCS fluid.The core radionuclide inventory for use in determining source term releases was generated using the ORIGENS code. ORIGENS is part of the SCALE computer code system (Reference 6). Table 3.1-3 lists the 62 isotopes and the associated curies at the end of a fuel cycle that was input to RADTRAD-NAI.
The reactor core in MPS2 consists of 217 fuel assemblies with various Uranium-235 enrichments.
The current licensed maximum value for fuel enrichment is 5.0%(Technical Specification 5.3.1). Both a 3.5% average enriched core and a 5%average enriched core (representing the maximum enrichment) were evaluated.
Fuel assemblies with three different burnups, representing one (1), two (2) and three (3) cycles, were assumed to determine an equilibrium core source term at the end of a fuel cycle. Different combinations of low and high core burnups (up to a core average burnup of 50,000 MWD/MTU) and enrichments were used to determine a conservative source term that maximized dose due to its predominance, release fraction and dose conversion factor (DCF).

- 5) and guidance from RG 1.194 (Reference 10).Site meteorological data taken over the years 1997-2001 were used in the calculations and have been provided via Reference
- 11. Additional information to support ARCON96 inputs is included in Enclosure 1 of this Attachment.
The control room X/Qs were calculated for the LOCA for the following MPS2 source points:-Ground level from the enclosure building/
containment
-RWST vent The control room X/Q's from the Millstone stack are not recalculated using ARCON96. The values are consistent with the current licensing basis approved in Amendment No. 228, dated March 10, 1999 (Reference
- 13) and are based on RG 1.145 (Reference
- 19) methodology using fumigation conditions.
These values are conservative when compared to the options recommended in RG 1.194 for determination of X/Q values from "Elevated (Stack) Releases." The control room X/Q's used in the LOCA analysis are listed in Table 1.3-4.3.1.3.2 Offsite (EAB & LPZ) X/Q The EAB and LPZ atmospheric dispersion factors are part of the existing design basis offsite dose calculations.
The X/Q values, which were not revised for the AST analysis, are listed in Table 1.3-3. Offsite atmospheric dispersion factors were approved in Amendment No. 228, dated March 10, 1999 (Reference
- 13) to Facility Operating Ucense No. DPR-65 for MPS2.3.1.4 Determination of Containment Airborne Activity 3.1.4.1 Containment Sprays The percentage of containment that is covered by spray is 35.4%. The spray system becomes effective at 75 seconds. The mixing rate during spray operation is 2 turnovers of the unsprayed volume per hour.The elemental and particulate iodine removal coefficients due to sprays are listed in Table 3.1-4. These spray removal coefficients are used until the allowed decontamination factor (DF) is reached (elemental

The model used is described in NUREG/CR-6189 (Reference

Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 33 of 79 3.1.5.3 Containment Leakage Model The containment leakage consists of filtered and bypass leakage. The bypass leakage bypasses the secondary containment and is released unfiltered at ground level directly from containment.
As stated in the data and assumptions, the total containment leak rate (La) is 0.5% per day. The entire containment leak rate bypasses the secondary containment until EBFS produces a negative pressure of >0.25" W.G. in the secondary containment at 110 seconds at which point the leak rate is 0.007% per day (0.014La).
The leak rate is reduced by one-half (0.0035% per day) at 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

3.1.5.4 Model of ECCS Leakage The ECCS fluid consists of the contaminated water in the sump of the containment.
With the exception of noble gases, this water contains all the fission products released from the core. All radioactive materials, except iodine, remain in the recirculating sump fluid. Therefore the ECCS leakage model consists of 40% of the core inventory of iodine, 5% released to the sump water during the gap release phase (30 minutes) and 35% released to the sump water during the early in-vessel phase during the next 1.3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br />. During a LOCA the highly radioactive ECCS fluid is pumped from the containment sump to the spray headers and sprayed back into the containment sump following RWST drawdown.
Also, following a design basis LOCA, valve realignment occurs to switch the suction water source for core cooling from the RWST to the containment sump.ECCS leakage is assumed when ESF systems circulate sump water outside containment.
Typical leakage sources are through packing glands, pump shaft seals and flanged connections.
The leakage of recirculating sump fluids commences at 27.5 minutes, which is the earliest time of recirculation and is assumed to leak at 24 gallons per hour. This will support a Technical Specification 6.13 (Systems Integrity) program limit for ECCS leakage of 12 gallons per hour.The temperature of the containment sump does not exceed 212 degrees F. At this maximum temperature, per the guidance of RG1.183, a conservative flash fraction of 0.1 is used for the ECCS leakage during the entire event. The water in the sump is assumed to remain at the minimum volume (3.773E+04 ft3) for the duration of the event to maximize concentration of nuclides.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 34 of 79 3.1.5.5 Model of ECCS Back Leakage to the RWST The RWST back leakage flow paths considered are identified in Table 3.1-5.RADTRAD-NAI is used to model leakage of ECCS fluid through these valves back into the RWST with subsequent leakage of the evolved iodine through the vent at the top of the RWST to the environment.
Back leakage from the containment sump via the normal ECCS and containment spray pump suction line to the RWST is negligible.
The established leakage criterion for the check valves in this suction line prevent contaminated water from reaching the RWST.The RADTRAD-NAI source term used to model the ECCS leakage into the RWST contains only the iodine isotopes.
The RWST backleakage model consists of 40% of the core inventory of iodine (5% released to the sump water during the 30 minute gap release phase and 35% released to the sump water during the following 1.3 hour3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> early in-vessel phase) as being transported from the core to the containment sump. The iodine form is 97% elemental and 3% organic in accordance with RG 1.183.Using the methodology approved in Reference 22, the time for contaminated sump water to reach the RWST is based on the calculated flow rates and the volume of clean water in the associated piping. Timing and flow rates discharged to the RWST from the RWST backleakage paths have been calculated and summarized in Table 3.1-5. The time required to displace the clean volume is reduced by 50% to account for mixing in the lines. This is considered a reasonable assumption since the sump fluid is relatively cool and thermal mixing will be minimal. In addition, the lines are isolated and stagnant except for minor leakage rates and the mixing due to flow is negligible.
Table 3.1-6 reduces the times in Table 3.1-5 by 50%, integrates the flow rates over time and calculates the total contaminated volume discharged to the RWST over the 30 day LOCA period.Table 3.1-5 Contaminated Inflow to RWST Source Time to Reach Flow Rate, GPM RWST, hours Leakage through valve CS-51 (Cont.

The RWST airflow rate of 3.5 cfm was determined by making use of the ideal gas law and expected volumetric change. The latter was based on a conservative rise in air temperature within the RWST as a result of solar heating. The air released from the RWST will be free of radioactivity until the backleakage reaches the RWST at 6.45 hours5.208333e-4 days <br />0.0125 hours <br />7.440476e-5 weeks <br />1.71225e-5 months <br /> post-LOCA.
3.1.5.6 Millstone Unit 2 Control Room The MPS2 control room volume is 35,656 ft 3.The LOCA causes a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS) to isolate the control room. The control room is isolated within 20 seconds after a SIAS. According to Reference 1, the onset of the gap release does not start until 30 seconds post-LOCA.
Therefore the control room will be isolated prior to the arrival of the radioactive release.An operator action to ensure proper alignment and the operation of the control room emergency ventilation system for the filtered recirculation mode is credited 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> after isolation.
The post LOCA dose consequences from external sources to the MPS2 control room are due to the following sources:* control room filter shine* cloud shine* RWSTdirect shine* containment direct shine Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 36 of 79 The doses due to external sources were calculated using data from Tables 1.3-1, 1.3-2, and section 3.1.5.Table 3.1-7 lists TEDE to the EAB and LPZ from a LOCA at MPS2. The dose to the EAB and LPZ is less than the 25 rem TEDE limit stated in 10CFR50.67 and RG 1.183. The EAB dose represents the worst 2-hour dose for each release pathway.3.1.6 LOCA Analysis Results The dose to the MPS2 control room is less than the 5 rem TEDE limit specified in 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183.Table 3.1-7 TEDE from a Millstone Unit 2 LOCA Location TEDE (rem)EAB 2.9E+00 LPZ 1.7E+00 Millstone Unit 2 Control 3.OE+00 Room Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 37 of 79 3.2 Fuel Handling Accident (FHA)This section describes the methods employed and results of the FHA design basis radiological analysis.
The analysis includes doses associated with release of gap activity from a fuel assembly either inside containment or from the spent fuel pool. Doses were calculated at the EAB, at the LPZ boundary, and in the MPS2 control room. The methodology used to evaluate the control room and offsite doses resulting from the FHA: 1) is consistent with RG 1.183 in conjunction with TEDE radiological units and limits; 2) uses ARCON96 based onsite atmospheric dispersion factors; and 3) uses Federal Guidance Reports No. 11 and 12 dose conversion factors.The FHA was previously approved by the NRC via Reference 20 for selective implementation of the AST. The analysis in this amendment request differs from the previous analysis by the following:
- 1) Revised Control Room X/Qs (now based on ARCON96).2) Changes were made to control room in-leakage assumptions (from 130 scfm to 200 scfm).3) Reduced control room filtration efficiency (from 90% to 70% for organic only).4) Increased time for automatic isolation of control room, from 10 seconds to 20 seconds, based on control room ventilation radiation monitor response.5) Increased time for operator action following control room isolation, from 10 minutes to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />, to place the control room emergency ventilation in filtered recirculation mode.6) The cask drop accident will be referred to as the cask tip accident.3.2.1 FHA Scenario Description The design basis scenario for the radiological analysis of the FHA assumes that cladding damage has occurred to all of the fuel rods in one fuel assembly.
This scenario is unchanged from the assumption in the existing UFSAR analysis.
The rods are assumed to instantaneously release their fission gas contents to the water surrounding the fuel assemblies.
The analyses include the evaluation of FHA cases that occur in both the containment and the spent fuel pool (located in the auxiliary building).
Essentially all radioactivity released from the damaged fuel is assumed to release over a two hour period through an open penetration in the containment or the auxiliary building.The cask drop accident discussed in the UFSAR that has radiological consequences will be referred to as a cask tip accident to avoid confusion.
This accident also bounds the consequences associated with drop of a consolidated fuel canister which can contain up to 2 consolidated fuel assemblies with a minimum of 5 years decay. This scenario has the cask tipping over in the spent Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 38 of 79 fuel pool and damaging impacted fuel assemblies.
It is postulated that 1560 fuel assemblies are damaged. Of these, 184 have a decay time of 1 year and the remainder for 5 years. Administrative controls limit the age of fuel assemblies in the area of potential impact.3.2.2 FHA Source Term Definition In accordance with Regulatory Position 3 of RG 1.183 the core source was determined using ORIGENS to evaluate multiple cycle designs (based on the DNC fuel management scheme for enrichment and burnup). The core inventory used was approved in the FHA selective implementation of the AST in Amendment 284 (Reference
- 20) and is described in the LOCA scenario (Section 3.1.2). Gap fractions used in the FHA and cask tip analyses differ from Regulatory Position 3 due to a small number of fuel rods having the potential to exceed the linear heat generation rate criteria in Footnote 11 of RG 1.183. As a result, new gap fractions were proposed in Reference 23 and approved in Amendment 284. They are listed in Table 3.2-1.For the FHA analyses, the core inventory was used to calculate the gap activity of one fuel assembly for input to RADTRAD-NAI.
The amount of fuel damage is the same whether the FHA is in the fuel building or containment.
Therefore, the only variable between FHA in the containment or in the auxiliary building is the release point.For the cask tip accident, the core inventory was used to determine the fuel assembly inventory.
The fuel assembly inventory was decayed to get the 1 or 5 year decay which was applied to 184 and 1376 assemblies, respectively.
The gap activity of these assemblies was released.
This release occurs from the auxiliary building.3.2.3 FHA Release Transport This evaluation does not credit operability or operation of the containment purge system, or auxiliary building ventilation.
This evaluation assumes that the personnel hatch, equipment hatch, auxiliary building roll-up door and penetrations are open for the duration of the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> release. Therefore, any release out of the auxiliary building or containment is a ground level release.Releases from the auxiliary building or containment to the environment are at a rate of 3.5 air changes per hour. This assures that essentially all of the activity in the auxiliary building and containment analyses are released within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />. The release rate is conservative in that it biases the bulk of the release (i.e., > 80%)to occur within the first half hour of the event. No credit is taken for filtration of the release from either the auxiliary building or containment.
Additionally, no Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 39 of 79 credit is taken for dilution or mixing of the activity released to the fuel building or containment air volumes.The release from a FHA inside the containment is assumed unfiltered and is released via a ground level release from the enclosure building.For a FHA, or cask tip accident in the auxiliary building, the release is also assumed unfiltered via a ground level release from the enclosure building.
The offsite and control room X/Qs are the same for a FHA in containment or the auxiliary building, both conservatively assume the release is from the enclosure building.3.2.4 Determination of Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Q)3.2.4.1 Control Room Atmospheric Dispersion Factors The onsite atmospheric dispersion factors were calculated by DNC using the ARCON96 code and guidance from RG 1.194 (Reference
- 10) for the control room. Site meteorological data taken over the years 1997-2001 (provided in Reference
- 11) were used in the evaluations.
Control room X/Q values were calculated at the enclosure building edge nearest the control room. Parameters and assumptions utilized to perform the ARCON96 analysis are shown in Enclosure 1 to Attachment
- 1. The control room atmospheric dispersion factors are in Table 1.3-4.3.2.4.2 Offsite Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Q)The offsite atmospheric dispersion factors (EAB and LPZ) used for the FHA analysis have not changed and are reported in Table 1.3-3.3.2.5 FHA Analysis Assumptions

This analysis included doses associated with the releases of the radioactive material initially present in primary liquid, secondary liquid and iodine spiking. Doses were calculated at the EAB, at the LPZ, and in the control room. The methodology used to evaluate the control room and offsite doses resulting from the SGTR accident is consistent with RG 1.183 in conjunction with TEDE radiological units and limits, uses ARCON96 based onsite atmospheric dispersion factors, and Federal Guidance Reports (FGR) No. 11 and 12 dose conversion factors.3.3.1 SGTR Scenario Description A SGTR is a break in a tube carrying primary coolant through the steam generator.
This postulated break allows primary liquid to leak to the secondary side of one of the steam generators (denoted as the affected generator) with an assumed release to the environment through the steam generator atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) or main steam safety valves (MSSVs). The ADV/ MSSVs on the affected steam generator are assumed to open to control steam generator pressure at the beginning of the event. No credit is taken for release through the condenser due to loss of offsite power. The affected generator discharges steam to the environment for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> until the generator is isolated.
Break flow into the affected steam generator continues until the RCS is at a lower pressure.Additional release from the affected steam generator is modeled following isolation to complete depressurization of the steam generator early in the event to maximize the dose consequences.
Depressurization of the steam generator may be necessary to initiate shutdown cooling.The intact generator discharges steam for a period of approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> until the primary system has cooled sufficiently to allow a switchover to the shutdown cooling (SDC) system. At this point, SDC can remove all the decay heat to achieve cold shutdown and steaming is no longer required for cooldown.No fuel damage is predicted as a result of a SGTR. Therefore, the SGTR analysis was evaluated for a pre-accident iodine spike and a concurrent accident iodine spike.3.3.2 SGTR Source Term Definition Initial radionuclide concentrations in the primary and secondary systems for the SGTR accident are determined based on the maximum technical specification level of activity.
The thermo-hydraulic analysis of the SGTR accident indicates that no additional fuel failures occur as a result of these transients.
Thus, radioactive material releases were determined by the radionuclide concentrations Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 43 of 79 initially present in primary liquid, secondary liquid, and iodine spiking. These values are the starting point for determining the curie input for the RADTRAD-NAI code runs.RG 1.183 indicates that the released activities should be the maximum allowed by the technical specifications.
Table 3.3-1 lists all the primary and secondary liquid radionuclide concentrations that are required to be used in the analysis by RG 1.183. Primary side concentration is based on the technical specification limits of 100/ Eba for gross gamma and 1.0 uCi/gm DEQ 1-131 for iodines.Secondary side concentration is based on the technical specification limit of 0.1 uCi/gm DEQ 1-131 for iodine. Since there is not a technical specification limit for gross gamma activity, a secondary side gross gamma concentration was developed to ensure that a suitably conservative source term was used.RG 1.183 also dictates that SGTR accidents consider iodine spiking above the value allowed for normal operations based both on a pre-accident iodine spike and a concurrent accident spike. For MPS2, the maximum iodine concentration allowed by technical specifications as the result of an iodine spike is 60 uCi/gm DEQ 1-131. This value is treated as the pre-accident iodine spike and is listed in Table 3.3-2. RG 1.183 defines a concurrent iodine spike as an accident initiated value 335 times the appearance rate corresponding to the technical specification limit for normal operation (1 uCi/gm DEQ 1-131 RCS TS limit) for a period of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The concurrent iodine spike appearance rates based on 335 times the 1.0 uCi/gm DEQ 1-131 concentration are listed in Table 3.3-3. Appearance rates address the issues raised by NSAL-00-004 to account for increased reactor coolant leakage and clean-up (Reference 21).The dose conversion factors used to calculate the TEDE doses and DEQ 1-131 for the SGTR accident were taken from Table 3.1-3 for the isotopes required by RG 1.183 for the SGTR analysis.

A fraction of the break flow is assumed to flash to steam in the affected generator and to pass directly into the steam space of the affected generator with no credit taken for scrubbing by the steam generator liquid. The radionuclides entering the steam space as a result of flashing pass directly to the environment through the ADVs. The remainder of the break flow enters the steam generator liquid. Releases of radionuclides in the steam generator liquid and those entering the steam generator from the Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 46 of 79 unflashed break flow are released as a result of secondary liquid boiling.Moisture carryover results in an allowance for a partition factor of 100 for iodines and 250 for all other non-noble gas isotopes.
Thus 1% of the elemental and organic iodines and 0.4% of the particulates are released from the steam generator liquid to the environment along with the steam flow. All noble gases are released from the primary system to the environment without reduction or mitigation.
The transport model utilized for iodine and particulates is consistent with Appendix E of RG 1.183.FSAR Section 14.6.3.5 discusses the operator actions supporting this event.3.3.3.2 Intact Steam Generator The source term resulting from the radionuclides in the primary system coolant and from the iodine spiking in the primary system is transported to the intact generator by the assumed design basis leak-rate of 150 GPD (0.104 GPM)versus that specified in the proposed technical specification change (75 GPD).The design basis leak rate of 150 GPD is used in consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01 to provide a conservative margin between operational leakage limits and design basis. All radionuclides in the primary coolant leaking into the intact generator are assumed to enter the steam generator liquid. Releases of radionuclides initially in the steam generator liquid and those entering the steam generator from the leakage flow are released as a result of secondary liquid boiling, including an allowance for a partition factor of 100 for all iodines and 250 for all other non-noble gas isotopes.
Thus 1% of the iodines and 0.4% of the particulates are assumed to pass into the steam space and then to the environment.
All noble gases that are released from the primary system to the intact generator are released to the environment without reduction or mitigation.
Releases were assumed to continue from the intact generator for a period of 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br />, after which the SDC system can remove 100% of decay heat with no requirement for steaming to augment cooldown.3.3.4 Determination of Atmospheric Dispersion Factors 3.3.4.1 Control Room Atmospheric Dispersion Factors The onsite atmospheric dispersion factors were calculated by using the ARCON96 code and guidance from RG 1.194 (Reference

For the MSLB outside containment no fuel failures are expected and released activity is based on RCS activity at technical specification levels plus iodine spiking (concurrent and pre-accident are evaluated).
For MSLB in containment, 3.7% fuel failure is assumed. Doses were calculated at the EAB, at the LPZ, and in the MPS2 control room. The methodology used to evaluate the control room and offsite doses resulting from the MSLB accident is consistent with RG 1.183 in conjunction with TEDE radiological units and limits, uses ARCON96 based onsite atmospheric dispersion factors and Federal Guidance Report No. 11 and 12 dose conversion factors.3.4.1 MSLB Scenario Description The MSLB accident begins with a break in one of the main steam lines leading from a steam generator (affected generator) to the turbine coincident with a loss of offsite power. As a result, the condenser is unavailable and cool down of the primary system is through the release of steam to the environment from the intact generator.
In order to maximize doses, break scenarios are assessed in the following structures:
- 1) turbine building, 2) containment and 3) enclosure building.The intact steam generator has primary to secondary leakage of 150 GPD and steams for approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> after which decay heat is removed by the SDC system. The design basis leak rate of 150 GPD is used in consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01 relative to the proposed technical specification leak rate of 75 GPD. The affected steam generator is assumed to go dry immediately and the primary to secondary leak flow is assumed to flash completely and be released to the environment without mitigation for 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />, at which time the RCS has cooled down to 212OF and release via this pathway terminates.
3.4.2 MSLB Source Term Definition The analysis for the MSLB in the turbine building and enclosure building assumes no fuel failure. It uses the primary and secondary liquid source term discussed in Table 3.3-1. It also addresses the pre-accident iodine spike source term discussed in Table 3.3-2 and a concurrent iodine spike at 500 times the appearance rate corresponding to the technical specification limit for normal operation for a period of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> and that source term is listed in Table 3.4-1.

The core inventory is listed in Table 3.1-3.3.4.3 Release Transport The source term resulting from radionuclides in the primary system coolant and from iodine spiking in the primary system is transported to the steam generators by an assumed leak rate of 150 gallons per day (0.104 GPM) per steam generator.
The maximum amount of primary to secondary leakage currently allowed by the technical specifications to any one steam generator is 0.035 gallons per minute. This leakage of 150 gallons per day (0.104 GPM) per steam generator was assigned to both the affected and intact steam generator.
3.4.3.1 Affected Steam Generator Three scenarios are considered for break release pathways as discussed in Section 3.4.1 (enclosure building, turbine building and containment).
In all 3 cases, the release of secondary side liquid is based on the maximum steam generator volume to maximize isotopic inventory.
For the enclosure building and turbine building scenarios, releases are assumed to pass directly from the building to the environment with no credit taken for holdup, partitioning or scrubbing by the steam generator liquid. The affected steam generator is assumed to steam dry within 750 seconds as a result of the MSLB, releasing all of the nuclides in the secondary coolant that were initially contained in the steam generator.
Coincident with the release of secondary side liquid, a 150 GPD primary to secondary leakage occurs with the assumption that Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 53 of 79 100% of the flow flashes and is released to the environment without mitigation.
After 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> the RCS will have cooled to below 212°F and the release via this pathway terminates.
The transport model utilized for noble gases, iodines and particulates was consistent with Appendix E of RG 1.183.For the containment scenario, primary to secondary liquid from the affected steam generator is assumed to leak to containment at 150 GPD. After 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> the RCS will have cooled to below 212°F and the release to containment terminates.
Initially all of the releases from containment bypass the secondary containment at the technical specification limit of 0.5%/day.
The enclosure building filtration system becomes effective within 250 seconds (which includes 140 seconds for generation of the actuation signal based on containment high pressure and 110 seconds for drawdown of the enclosure building), after which the release is split into a filtered and bypass portion. The bypass portion is released at ground level unfiltered at the proposed technical specification limit of 0.014 La (0.007 0/o/day). The filtered portion is an elevated release at a rate that corresponds to La -Bypass (0.493%/day).
After 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> the leak rates are reduced by 50%, consistent with RG 1.183.3.4.3.2 Intact Steam Generator The intact steam generator is credited with leaking primary to secondary liquid at 150 gallons per day. This activity is released to the environment via the MSSVs or ADV. The ADV provides the higher X/Q to the control room so it provides the bounding pathway.There are several nuclide transport models associated with the intact steam generators.
Together, they ensure proper accounting of gross gamma, iodine and noble gas releases.
Releases of radionuclides initially in the steam generator liquid and those entering the steam generator from the primary to secondary leakage flow are released as a result of secondary liquid boiling. The minimum steam generator mass is used to minimize holdup and retention of activity.
Elemental and organic iodines are released as a function of the partition coefficient of 100 and the steaming rate. Due to moisture carryover, 0.4% of the particulates in the steam generator bulk liquid are released to the environment at the steaming rate. Radionuclides initially in the steam space do not provide any significant dose contribution and are not considered.
The transport to the environment of noble gases from the primary coolant and from particulate, noble gas daughters occurs without any mitigation or holdup.

- 10) for the control room. Site meteorological data taken during the years 1997-2001 (provided in Reference
- 11) were used in the evaluations.
Parameters and assumptions utilized to perform the ARCON96 analysis are shown in Enclosure 1 of Attachment
- 1. The MPS2 control room X/Q values are given in Table 1.3-4.Release points representing sources from a MSLB are: 1) the turbine building blowout panel closest to the control room; 2) the ADV closest to the control room;3) the enclosure building blowout panel closest to the control room; 4) the MSSVs; and 5) the Millstone stack. The X/Qs for the ADV were used to represent the enclosure building blowout panel closest to the control room. This is conservative and appropriate when considering the ADV is closer to the control room than the blowout panel and it is a point source versus a large area source for the blowout panel.3.4.4.2 Offsite Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Q)Offsite X/Qs for ground level releases from the enclosure building are not changed and are listed in Table 1.3-3. They are also applied to the turbine building releases because of near proximity to each other.Offsite X/Qs for elevated releases from the Millstone stack are also unchanged and are calculated assuming fumigation conditions for 0-2 hour EAB and 0-4 hour LPZ and the highest annual X/Q from all sectors. X/Qs for elevated releases are listed in Table 1.3-3.

The concurrent spike results in the highest dose consequences for both offsite and the control room. All doses are within the limits specified in RG 1.183 and 10 CFR 50.67.

Two release cases are considered.
The first case is a release into the containment.
The second release is a release into the primary coolant, which is released through the secondary system. Each release path is considered independently as the only one available.
The actual doses for the accident would be a composite of doses resulting from portions of the release going out the two different pathways.
When regulatory compliance to dose limits can be demonstrated for each of the cases, the consequences of a case that is a combination of the two will be encompassed by the more restrictive of the two analyzed cases.3.5.1 CREA Scenario Description This accident is defined as the mechanical failure of a control rod mechanism pressure housing, resulting in the ejection of a control rod. The consequence of this mechanical failure is a rapid positive reactivity insertion together with an adverse core power distribution, possibly leading to localized fuel rod damage.3.5.2 CREA Source Term Definition The core source term used in the CREA analysis is taken from Table 3.1-3. The release of the core source term is adjusted for the fraction of fuel rods assumed to fail during the accident, the fractions of core inventory assumed to be in the pellet-to-clad gap and the peaking factor.The analysis is based on the assumption that 11.5% failed fuel occurs during a CREA.3.5.3 Release Transport Two release paths are considered for the CREA: containment leakage and the secondary system.The containment release transport assumptions and methodology are similar to the LOCA and can be found in section 3.1.5, with a few exceptions.
The exceptions are: The core release fractions are based on Appendix H of RG 1.183.Containment sprays are not credited for iodine removal. ECCS leakage and RWST back leakage are not considered.
Natural deposition in the containment is not assumed.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 60 of 79 Time to isolate the control room following a CREA is 105 seconds. This is based on the safety injection signal initiated 1 minute after a CREA, followed by a 25 second delay due to diesel startup for the enclosure building filtration actuation signal to initiate isolation and then 20 seconds for the control room to isolate.The second release path is via the secondary system. The activity in the secondary system release is based on Appendix H of RG 1.183. The assumed primary to secondary leak rate of 150 GPD exists until shutdown cooling is in operation and releases from the steam generators terminate at approximately 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br />. All noble gas radionuclides released to the secondary system are released to the environment without reduction or mitigation.
The condenser is not available due to a loss of offsite power. A partition coefficient for iodine of 100 is assumed in the steam generators.
The steam flow is released via the MSSVs/ADVs during the CREA until entry into the shutdown cooling window. Steam flows are provided in Table 3.5-1.

The evaluation of these additional design areas is documented below.4.1 Impact Upon Equipment Environmental Qualification The NRC, in its rebaselining study of AST impact (Reference 18), considered the effects of the AST on analyses of the postulated integrated radiation doses for plant components exposed to containment atmosphere radiation sources and those exposed to containment sump radiation sources. The NRC study concluded that the increased concentration of cesium in the containment sump water could result in an increase in the postulated integrated doses for certain plant components subject to equipment qualification.
The increased cesium concentration in the source term causes (beyond a specific timeframe) the calculated integrated sump doses for the RG 1.183 source term to exceed the doses based upon the TID-14844 source term. The Reference 18 analyses indicated that the timeframe at which the doses based upon the TID-14844 source term may be exceeded and become non-conservative is from approximately 7 to 30 days after the postulated LOCA, depending upon plant-specific assumptions and features.In the Federal Register notice issuing the final rule for use of alternate source terms at operating reactors (Reference 17), the NRC stated that it will evaluate this issue as a generic safety issue to determine whether further regulatory actions are justified.
This issue was subsequently designated as Issue 187: The Potential Impact of Postulated Cesium Concentration on Equipment Qualification.
Further guidance is provided in SECY-99-240 (Reference 16), which transmitted the final AST rule changes for the Commission's approval.
The following is stated in the 'Discussion' section, regarding evaluation of the equipment qualification issue before its final resolution: "In the interim period before final resolution of this issue, the staff will consider the TID-14844 source term to be acceptable in re-analyses of the impact of proposed plant modifications on previously analyzed integrated component doses regardless of the accident source term used to evaluate offsite and control room doses." In NUREG-0933, Supplement 25 (Reference 14), the NRC staff reported its conclusions concerning the assessment of Issue 187. The staff concluded that there was no clear basis to require that the equipment qualification design basis be modified to adopt the AST. It was stated that there would be no discernable Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 65 of 79 risk reduction from such a requirement.
This issue was thus dropped from further pursuit. Consistent with this guidance, no further evaluation of this issue is presented in support of implementing the AST for MPS2. The existing equipment qualification analyses, which are based upon the TID-14844 source term, are considered acceptable.
4.2 Risk Impact of Proposed Changes From AST Implementation Implementation of AST is of benefit to licensees because of the potential to obtain relaxation of specific operability or surveillance requirements, since such changes can reduce regulatory burden and streamline operations.
Such changes are warranted if they can be pursued without creating an unacceptable impact upon plant risk characteristics (accident initiators, malfunctions, dose consequences) as compared with the existing licensing/design bases. The proposed changes associated with implementation of the AST for MPS2 have been considered for their risk effects. A discussion of these considerations is presented below.The proposed changes are presented here for convenience; these changes are described in report sections 2.2 through 2.12: a. Change Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement 4.7.6.1.e.3,"Control Room Emergency Ventilation System." Verification of the control room in-leakage changes from "less than 130 scfm" to "less than 200 scfm" with the control room emergency ventilation system operating in the recirculation/filtration mode.In addition, Actions 3.7.6.1.d and 3.7.6.1.e are stated as applicable during"MODES 5 and 6 and during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." This statement will be modified to "MODES 5 and 6 or during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
It has an impact on control room dose consequences in that a larger in-leakage may result in a higher dose to the operators but dose consequences are within the limits as defined by 10 CFR 50.67. Clarification of the applicability and actions does not change the intent of this technical specification and thus can not increase any risk impact nor can it affect dose consequences.
- b. Change Technical Specification Section 3.6.1.2.c "Containment Leakage." The leakage rate acceptance criteria for all penetrations that are secondary containment bypass leakage paths changes from < 0.0072 La to < 0.014 La.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 66 of 79 This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
It has an impact on offsite and control room dose consequences due to increased bypass leakage to the environment but dose consequences are within the limits as defined by 10 CFR 50.67 as well as within guidance provided by RG 1.183.c. Change Technical Specification 3.4.6.2.c, "Reactor Coolant System Leakage." The current leak rate of 0.035 GPM primary to secondary leakage through any one steam generator is changed from 0.035 GPM to 75 GPD.This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
The change was analyzed using a design basis leak rate of 150 GPD to support the proposed technical specification limit of 75 GPD in consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01. It has an impact on offsite and control room dose consequences due to increased primary to secondary leakage to the environment but dose consequences are within the limits as defined by 10 CFR 50.67 as well as within guidance provided by RG 1.183.d. A new operator action is required to isolate the control room within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> of a main steam line break outside of containment and initiate filtered recirculation consistent with item 4.2.e.This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
It has no impact on offsite dose consequences.
It has an impact on control room dose consequences in the event of a main steam line break outside containment since the control room may not isolate due to insufficient radioactivity to alarm the control room ventilation radiation monitors.
Isolating the control room and initiating filtered recirculation ensures the operators are adequately protected in the event of a main steam line break and dose consequences are within the limits as defined by 10 CFR 50.67.e. A current operator action to align control room emergency ventilation to filtered recirculation mode within 10 minutes of isolation is revised from 10 minutes to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />.This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
It has no impact on offsite dose consequences.
It has an impact on control room dose consequences because it delays the onset of filtered recirculation following isolation.
Isolating the control room, with subsequent filtered ventilation, ensures the operators are adequately protected in the event of a main steam line break but dose consequences are within the limits as defined by 10 CFR 50.67.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 67 of 79 f. Change Technical Specification Section 1.19. The definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 in Section 1.19 of the technical specifications definitions is revised to reference Federal Guidance Report No. 11 (FGR 11), "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion, " 1988, as the source of thyroid dose conversion factors (Reference 7).This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate (or affect) an accident or malfunction.
It has an impact on dose consequences only in how they are determined.
- g. Change atmospheric dispersion coefficients used in control room dose analyses to reflect use of ARCON96 and RG 1.194.This change has minimal risk impact since it cannot initiate an accident or malfunction.
It does impact the determination of control room dose consequences as a result of design basis accident analyses.h. Deletion of Technical Specification LCO 3.3.4 (operability of containment purge valve isolation signal) and all associated surveillance requirements and bases.This change has no risk impact since it cannot initiate (or affect) an accident or malfunction.
This change has no dose consequence impact because other technical specifications currently require the containment purge valves to be sealed closed without reliance on a containment purge valve isolation signal.Also, radiological accident analyses do not credit this signal. This deletion eliminates the requirement for operability of the containment purge valve isolation signal.i. Clarification of TS 3/4.3.3, Action b. This change has no risk impact or dose consequences because it only provides clarification to existing wording in an action statement.
It does not change the intent of the action statement.
It is concluded that the proposed changes associated with AST implementation for MPS2 will have no significant effect upon the risk associated with the accidents described.
This is primarily due to the fact that the risk significant accident sequences involve the failure of systems or structures (e.g., containment) that are not impacted by the changes proposed herein.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 68 of 79 4.3 Impact Upon Emergency Planning Dose Assessment Methods This application of the AST for MPS2 replaces the existing design basis source term with the source term defined in RG 1.183. The MIDAS model that is employed for emergency planning radiological assessments includes definitions of source terms for various design basis accidents.
Calculated results from MIDAS are used in various emergency preparedness processes.
The basis of the existing source term definitions in the MIDAS calculations will be evaluated to determine:
- 1) the manner in which the source terms used in emergency preparedness activities rely upon the design basis event source term definition; and 2) what specific changes may be warranted in the emergency preparedness source terms and their detailed usage. This assessment of potential impact will also include radiation monitor setpoint calculations for accident high range monitors, which use data input similar to MIDAS.4.4 Impact Upon the Millstone Unit 2 Control Room The dose consequences to the MPS2 control room operators were assessed for the five accident scenarios considered.
Dose consequences were within the requirements of 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183. Operability of the control room boundary and emergency ventilation systems is required.5.0 Conclusions The alternate source term defined in RG 1.183 has been incorporated into the reanalysis of radiological dose consequences from five key accidents for MPS2.This amendment request represents a full implementation of the alternate source term, making RG 1.183 the licensing basis source term for assessment of design basis events. The analysis results from the reanalyzed events meet all of the acceptance criteria as specified in 10 CFR 50.67 and RG 1.183.

Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 72 of 79 7.0 Technical Specification Change The following technical specifications for MPS2 are revised as noted below to reflect implementation of the RG 1.183 Alternate Source Term (AST) as the design basis source term. The AST implementation analyses provide justification for the following changes to the MPS2 technical specifications:
- a. The definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 in Section 1.19 of the technical specifications definitions is revised to reference Federal Guidance Report No. 11 (FGR 11), "Limiting Values of Radionuclide Intake and Air Concentration and Dose Conversion Factors for Inhalation, Submersion, and Ingestion," 1988, as the source of thyroid dose conversion factors (Reference 8). The AST implementation analyses, as described in Section 3, use the thyroid dose conversion factors listed in FGR 11 instead of those listed in NRC RG 1.109, Revision 1.b. Change Technical Specification 3/4.3.3, "Radiation Monitoring," Action 3.3.3.1.b to clarify the wording. The wording "With one or more radiation monitoring channels inoperable" is replaced with'With the number of OPERABLE channels less than the number of minimum channels OPERABLE in Table 3.3.6" Table 3.3-6 lists only the number of minimum channels OPERABLE.The number of minimum channels OPERABLE does not exceed the value of 1 for any of the instruments listed in the table. The current wording is inconsistent with information provided in Table 3.3-6 and with the action statement wording provided for ACTIONs 14, 16 and 17 in that: 1. The wording "One or more" implies that the number of channels required to be OPERABLE could be greater than 1.As indicated above, the number of minimum channels OPERABLE does not exceed the value of 1 for any of the instruments listed in the table.2. The action statement does not address the number of channels OPERABLE in relation to the required number of minimum channels OPERABLE.c. Delete Technical Specification 3/4.3.4, "Containment Purge Valve Isolation Signal." The containment purge valve isolation signal (CPVIS) is not credited in the accident analyses described in the AST implementation analyses.
In accordance with AST implementation analyses, the requirements contained in this Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 73 of 79 specification do not meet any one or more of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) criteria for which technical specifications must be established.
This can be justified as follows: Justification Based on Technical Specification 3/4.3.4, the CPVIS is required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1 through 4 to ensure the containment purge valves receive the signal to close in the event of an accident to prevent the uncontrolled release of activity to the environment.
Technical Specification 3/4.6.3, "Containment Isolation Systems," Limiting Condition For Operation (LCO) 3.6.3.2, has requirements that the containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves shall be sealed closed while in MODES 1 through 4. This LCO ensures that the purge valves remain closed in MODES 1 through 4 regardless of whether a CPVIS exists or not. The following discussion demonstrates that Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 does not meet any of the criteria of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).
10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) contains the requirements for items that must be in technical specifications.
This regulation provides four (4)criteria that can be used to determine the requirements that must be included in the Technical Specifications.
Criterion 1 Installed instrumentation that is used to detect, and indicate in the control room, a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary.Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 is specific to the CPVIS, which is a closure signal for the containment purge valves. Since these valves are sealed closed in MODES 1 through 4, a CPVIS cannot change the sealed closed condition of the valves. Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 is unrelated to any detection or indication in the control room of degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion 1.Criterion 2 A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 provides OPERABILITY requirements Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 74 of 79 for the CPVIS and does not cover a process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. The design feature of this signal ensures a closure signal is provided to the containment purge valves in the event they are open. Since they are required to be sealed closed in MODES 1 through 4, the CPVIS serves no purpose, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion 2.Criterion 3 A structure, system, or component that is part of the primary success path and which functions or actuates to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier.Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 requires the CPVIS to be operable in MODES 1 through 4. The original intent was to prevent the uncontrolled release of radioactivity to the environment by having a signal capable of closing the purge valves in the event of an accident.
Since the purge valves are required to be sealed closed (Technical Specification 3/4.6.3.2), the deletion of OPERABILITY requirements for CPVIS does not challenge or affect the integrity of any fission product barrier and continues to maintain the containment as a fission product barrier, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion 3.Criterion 4 A structure, system, or component which operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment has shown to be significant to public health and safety.The deletion of OPERABILITY requirements for the CPVIS has no impact on public health or safety. The CPVIS is not credited in any radiological accident analysis with mitigation of the consequences of an accident.
The CPVIS provides a closure signal to the containment purge valves during MODES 1 through 4 but Technical Specification 3/4.6.3.2 requires that the valves be sealed closed during MODES 1 through 4 anyways. Elimination of the OPERABILITY requirement for the CPVIS has no impact on public health and safety, therefore this specification does not satisfy Criterion
- 4.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 75 of 79 In conclusion, the proposed deletion of Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 does not affect any SSC, which is credited to function in the event of a DBA. Additionally, the requirements contained in this specification do not meet any of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) criteria regarding items for which Technical Specifications must be established.
Therefore, the proposed deletion of Technical Specification 3/4.3.4 is consistent with regulation and is safe.d. In Technical Specification 3/4.3.4.6.2, "Reactor Coolant System Leakage," LCO 3.4.6.2.c, the primary to secondary leak rate criterion is changed from 0.035 GPM to 75 GPD. In consideration of Generic Letter 2006-01, the AST implementation analyses, as described in Section 3, assume a primary to secondary leakage rate of 150 GPD to provide a conservative margin above the operational leakage limit.e. Change Technical Specification 3/4.3.6.1.2, "Containment Leakage," LCO 3.6.1.2.c for all secondary containment bypass leakage paths from a combined leakage rate of <0.0072 La to <0.014 La. The AST implementation analyses, as described in section 3, assume leakage rate acceptance criteria for all secondary containment bypass leakage to be <0.014La.f. Changes to Technical Specification 3/4.7.6.1, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation System." 1. ACTION statement on page 3/4 7-16a before ACTIONs d and e by replacing the wording: "MODES 5 and 6 and during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." With"MODES 5 and 6 or during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." This change removes certain ambiguities in the current wording. The use of the logical connector "and" could be interpreted as that Actions are applicable in MODES 5 only when irradiated fuel is moved in the spent fuel pool. Similarly, it could also be interpreted that Actions are applicable in MODES 6 only when irradiated fuel is moved in containment or in the spent fuel pool. The proposed wording defines "the movement of irradiated fuel in the containment or spent fuel pool" as a separate condition in addition to MODES 5 and 6.The proposed wording is consistent with the wording used in NUREG 1432, Rev. 3 (LCO 3.7.11, Action E).
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 76 of 79 2. The in-leakage rate in Surveillance Requirement 4.7.6.1.e.3 is changed from "less than 130 SCFM" to "less than 200 SCFM".The AST implementation analyses, as described in section 3, assume in-leakage acceptance criteria for all secondary containment bypass leakage to be less than 200 SCFM. The proposed 200 scfm control room habitability envelope inleakage surveillance acceptance criteria has no adverse impact on control room habitability analyses for postulated toxic chemical release events. These habitability analyses do not credit automatic or manual isolation of the control room fresh air ventilation flow during a toxic chemical release event.The control room's forced ventilation fresh air exchange rate (e.g., 800 scfm) is much greater than the proposed 200 scfm envelope inleakage rate acceptance criteria.Index pages V and XI are revised to reflect the deletion of Technical Specification 3/4.3.4. The associated bases changes are provided for information only. The technical specification bases will be revised in accordance with the Technical Specification Bases Control Program (Technical Specifications Section 6.23), following approval of the AST license amendment.
7.1 Specific Technical Specification Changes In this section, deleted text is omitted and inserted text is underlined in the "To" portion of each revision.
Applicable Bases changes are included with each technical specification that is changed.7.1.1 Definitions Revise the current definition of Technical Specification Section 1.19 for DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 from: "DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131 shall be that concentration of 1-131 (micro-curie/gram) which alone would produce the same thyroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of 1-131, 1-132, 1-133, 1-134, and 1-135 actually present. The thyroid dose conversion factors used for this calculation shall be those listed in Regulatory Guide 1.109 Rev. 1,"Calculation of Annual Doses to Man from Routine Releases of Reactor Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 1 Page 77 of 79 Effluents for the Purpose of Evaluating Compliance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix I."

To: "A combined leakage rate of < 0.014 La for all penetrations that are secondary containment bypass leakage paths when pressurized to Pa." 7.1.6 Technical Specification 3/4.7.6, "Control Room Emergency Ventilation System" Revise ACTION from: "MODES 5 and 6 and during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool." To: "MODES 5 and 6 or during irradiated fuel movement within containment or the spent fuel pool."

Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 ATTACHMENT 4 LICENSE BASIS DOCUMENT CHANGE REQUEST (LBDCR) 04-MP2-011 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES IMPLEMENTATION OF ALTERNATE SOURCE TERM SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC.MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 4 Page 1 of 3 SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION This license amendment proposes full implementation of an alternative source term (AST) and changes to the Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS2) Technical Specifications.
Changes are proposed for the following technical specifications: " Definition of Dose Equivalent 1-131 -revised to allow use of Federal Guidance Report No. 11 (FGR 11) dose conversion factors." Technical Specification 3/4.3.3, Radiation Monitoring
-revised Action 3.3.3.1.b to clarify the wording.* Technical Specification 3/4.3.4, Containment Purge Valve Isolation Signal -deleted." Technical Specification 3/4.3.4.6.2, Reactor Coolant System Leakage -changed the value used for primary to secondary leak rate acceptance criteria.* Technical Specification 3/4.3.6.1.2, Containment Leakage, LCO 3.6.1.2.c
-changed the value used for all secondary containment bypass leakage paths." Technical Specification 3/4.7.6.1, Control Room Emergency Ventilation System -clarified Action statement." Surveillance Requirement 4.7.6.1.e.3
-changed the value used in the acceptance criteria of in-leakage rate.Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. has reviewed the proposed technical specifications changes relative to the requirements of 10 CFR 50.92 and determined that a significant hazards consideration is not involved.
Specifically, will operation of Millstone Power Station Unit 2 with the proposed changes: 1. Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?
No.The proposed amendment does not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequence of an accident previously analyzed.
The MPS2 control room emergency ventilation system only functions following the initiation of a design basis radiological accident.
Therefore, the change to the value used for in-leakage rate test acceptance criteria following a design basis accident will not increase the probability of any previously analyzed accident.
The proposed 200 cfm control room habitability envelope inleakage surveillance acceptance criteria has no adverse impact on control room habitability analyses for postulated toxic chemical release events. These habitability analyses do not credit automatic or manual isolation of the control room fresh air ventilation flow during a toxic chemical release event. The control room's forced ventilation fresh air exchange rate (e.g., 800 cfm) is much greater than the proposed 200 cfm envelope inleakage rate acceptance criteria.
The MPS2 containment purge valve isolation signal is not Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 4 Page 2 of 3 credited in the accident analyses.
The requirements contained in this specification do not meet any of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) criteria on items for which technical specifications must be established.
Deletion of this technical specification will not increase the probability of any previously analyzed accident.
The MPS2 containment and the containment systems function to prevent or control the release of radioactive fission products following a postulated accident.
Therefore, the change to the value used for primary to secondary leak rate acceptance criteria, and for all secondary containment bypass leakage paths following a design basis accident, will not increase the probability of any previously analyzed accident.These systems are not initiators of any design bases accident.
Revised dose calculations, which take into account the changes proposed by this amendment and the use of the alternative source term, have been performed for the MPS2 design basis radiological accidents.
The results of these revised calculations indicate that public and control room doses will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183. There is not a significant increase in predicted dose consequences for any of the analyzed accidents.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the consequences of any previously analyzed accident.2. Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?
No.The implementation of the proposed changes does not create the possibility of an accident of a different type than was previously evaluated in the UFSAR. Although the proposed changes could affect the operation of the control room emergency ventilation system, and the containment and containment systems following a design basis radiological accident, none of these changes can initiate a new or different kind of accident since they are only related to system capabilities that provide protection from accidents that have already occurred.
These changes do not alter the nature of events postulated in the UFSAR nor do they introduce any unique precursor mechanisms.
Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from those previously analyzed.3. Involve a significant reduction in the margin of safety?No.The implementation of the proposed changes does not reduce the margin of safety. The proposed changes for the control room ventilation system, and the containment and containment systems do not affect the ability of these systems to Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 4 Page 3 of 3 perform their intended safety functions to maintain dose less than the required limits during design basis radiological events. The radiological analysis results, when compared with the revised TEDE acceptance criteria, meet the applicable limits. These acceptance criteria have been developed for application to analyses performed with alternative source terms. These acceptance criteria have been developed for the purpose of use in design basis accident analyses such that meeting the stated limits demonstrates adequate protection of public health and safety. It is thus concluded that the margin of safety will not be reduced by the implementation of the changes.
Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 ATTACHMENT 5 LICENSE BASIS DOCUMENT CHANGE REQUEST (LBDCR) 04-MP2-011 PROPOSED TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGES IMPLEMENTATION OF ALTERNATE SOURCE TERM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATON DOMINION NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC.MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 5 Page 1 of 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT EVALUATON 10 CFR51.22(c)(9) provides criteria for and identification of licensing and regulatory action eligible for categorical exclusion from performing an environmental assessment.
A proposed amendment to an operating license for a facility requires no environmental assessment if operation of the facility in accordance with the proposed amendment would not: 1) involve a significant hazards consideration, 2) result in a significant change in the type or a significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released offsite, or 3) result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational exposure.Dominion Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DNC) has reviewed this license amendment and has determined that it meets the eligibility criteria for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).
Pursuant to 10 CFR 52.22(c), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment needs to be prepared in connection with the issuance of the proposed license amendment.
The basis for this determination is as follows: 1) The proposed license amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration as described previously in Attachment 4 of this letter.2) As discussed in the significant hazards evaluation, the changes proposed by this amendment and full implementation of an alternative source term do not result in a significant change or significant increase in the public dose consequences for MPS2 design basis radiological accidents.
Approval of a new alternative source term for MPS2 establishes a new licensing and design basis for assessment of accident consequences.
It does not change actual accident sequences; only the regulatory assumptions regarding radiological accidents change. The adoption of an alternative source term, by itself, will not result in plant changes that involve any significant increase in environmental impacts. The proposed changes affect the operation of the control room emergency ventilation system during radiological accidents, and the acceptance criteria for the Containment Leakage Testing Program. These systems do not interface with any plant system that is involved in the generation or processing of effluents during normal plant operations.
The proposed changes will affect the radioactive effluents during a radiological accident.However, the dose to the public will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR 50.67 and Regulatory Guide 1.183. Therefore, implementation of the proposed changes and a full alternative source term will not result in a significant change in the types or increase in the amount of any effluents that may be released offsite.3) The changes proposed by this amendment and full implementation of an alternative source term do not result in a significant increase in control room operator doses during design basis radiological accidents.
In addition, the proposed changes do not Serial No.05-662 Docket No. 50-336 Implementation of Alternate Source Term Attachment 5 Page 2 of 2 require operator actions or other actions that could increase occupational radiation exposure.
The proposed changes will affect the radioactive effluents during a radiological accident.
However, the dose to the operator will not exceed the limits specified in 10 CFR 50.67 and GDC-19. Therefore, the proposed changes and implementation of an alternative source term will not result in a significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

These detection systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.45, "Reactor Coolant Pressure Boundary Leakage Detection Systems." 3/4.4.6.2 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM LEAKAGE Industry experience has shown that while a limited amount of leakage is expected from the RCS, the unidentified portion of this leakage can be reduced to a threshold value of less than 1 GPM. This threshold value is sufficiently low to ensure early detection of additional leakage.The 10 GPM IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limitation provides allowance for a limited amount of leakage from known sources whose presence will not interfere with the detection of UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE by the leakage detection system s. -Si.6 ?1)The steam generator tube leakage limit of .,O25 Mpet ea generator ensures that the dosame contribution from the tube leakage will be less than t Imits of General Daeign Criter.a , _ ,in the event of either a stea nerator tube rupture or steam line break. The limit is consistent with the ptions used in the analysis of these accidents.
,- CFA PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE of any magnitude is unacceptable since it may be indicative of an impending gross failure of the pressure boundary.
Therefore, the presence of any PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE requires the unit to be promptly placed in COLD SHUTDOWN.The IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE limits listed in LCO 3.4.6.2 only apply to the reactor coolant system pressure boundary within the containment.
In accordance with 10 CFR 50.2 "Definitions" the RCS Pressure Boundary means all those pressure-containing components such as pressure vessels, piping, pumps and valves which are (1) Part of the Reactor Coolant System, or (2) Connected to the Reactor Coolant System, up to and including any and all of the following: (i) The outermost containment isolation valve in systempiping which penetrates primary reactor containment, (ii) The second of two valves normally closed in system piping which does not penetrate primary reactor containment, or (iii)The reactor coo4ant safety and relief valves.The definitions for IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE are provided in the Technical Specifications definitions section, definitions 1.14 and 1. 15 respectively.
Leakage outside of the second isolation valve for containment which is included in the RCS Leak Rate Calculation is not considered RCS leakage and can be subtracted from RCS UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE.The safety significance of RCS leakage varies widely depending on its source, rate, and duration.
Therefore, detecting and monitoring RCS leakage into the containment area is necessary.
Quickly separating IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE from the UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE is necessary to provide quantitative information to the operators allowing them to take corrective action should a leak occur. LCO 3.4.6.2 deals with protection otthe reactor coolant pressure boundary from degradation and the core from inadequate cooling, in addition accident analysis radiation release assumptions from being exceeded.MILLSTONE

May 19,2005 PLANT SYSTEMS F)BASES 3/4.7.4 SERVICE WATER SYSTEM (Continued) determined to be inoperable should be the loop that results in the most adverse.plant configuration with respect to the availability of accid*ent mitigation equipment.
Restoration of loop independence within the time constraints of the allowed outage time is required, or a plant shutdown is necessary.
It is acceptable to operate with the SW header supply valves to sodium hypochlorite (2-SNW-84A and 2-SW-84B) and the SW header supply valves to the north and south filters(2-SW-298 and 2.-SW-299) open.The flow restricting orifices in these lines ensure that safety related loads continue to receive minimum required flow during a LOCA (in which the lines remain intact) or during a seismic event (when the lines break). Therefore, operation with these valves open does not affect OPERABILITY of the SW loops.Surveillance Requirement 4.7.4.1.a verifies the correct ailignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the Service Water (SW) System flow paths to provide assurance that the proper flow paths exist for SW operation.
This surveillance does not apply to valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, since these valves were verified to be in the correct position prior to locking, sealing, or securing.
A valve that receives an actuation signal is allowed to be in a nonaccident position provided the valve automatically repositions within the proper stroke time. This surveillance does not require any testing or valve manipulation.
Rather, it involves verification that those valves capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.The 31 day frequency is appropriate because the valves are operated under procedural control and an improper valve position would only affect a single train. This frequency has been shown to be acceptable through operating experience.
Surveillance Requirements 4.7.4.l.b and 4.7.4.l.c demonstrate that each automatic SW valve actuates to the required position on an actual or simulated actuation signal and that each SW pump starts on receipt of an actual or simulated actuation signal. This surveillance is not required for valves that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in the required position under administrative controls.
The 18 month frequency is based on the need to perform these surveillances under the conditions that apply during a plant outage and the potential for unplanned transients if the surveillances were performed with the reactor at power. The 18 month frequency is also acceptable based on consideration of the design reliability (and confirming operating experience) of the equipment.
The actuation logic is tested as part of the Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (ESFAS) testing, and equipment performance is monitored as part of the Inservice Testing Program.3/4.7.5 DELETED 3/4.7.6 CONTROL ROOM EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Control Room Emergency Ventilation System ensures that 1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system and 2) the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel during and following all credible accident conditions.

Currently there are some situations where the CREV System may not automatically start on an accident signal, without operator action. Under most situations, the emergency filtration fans will start and the CREV System will be in the accident lineup. However, a'failure of a supply fan (F21 A or B) or an exhaust fan (F3 1 A or B), operator action will be required to return to a full train lineup. Also, if a single emergency bus does not power up for one train of the CREV System, the opposite train filter fan will automatically start, but the required supply and exhaust fans will.'not automatically start. Therefore, operator action is required to establish the whole train lineup.This action is specified in the Emergency Operating Procedures.
The radiological dose calculations do not take credit for CREV System cleanup action until 19 into the accident...

With both control room emergency ventilation trains inoperable due to an inoperable control room boundary, the movement of irradiated fuel assemblies within the spent fuel pool must be immediately suspended.

During the period that the control room boundary is inoperable, appropriate compensatory measures (consistent with the intent of GDC 19) should be utilized to protect control room operators from potential hazards such as radioactive contamination, toxic chemicals, smoke, temperature and relative humidity, and physical security.
Preplanned measures should be available to address these concerns for intentional and unintentional entry into this condition.
The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowed outage time is reasonable based on the low probability of a DBA occurring during this time period, and the use of compensatory measures.
The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowed outage time is a typically reasonable time to diagnose, plan, and possibly repair, and test most problems with the control room boundary.Surveillance Requirement 4.7.6.l.c.
1 dictates the test frequency, methods and acceptance criteria for the Control Room Emergency ventilation System trains (cleanup trains). These criteria all originate in the Regulatory Position sections of Regulatory Guide 1.52, Rev. 2, March 1978 as discussed below.Section C.5.a requires a visual inspection of the cleanup system be made before the following tests, in accordance with the provisions of section 5 of ANSI N510-1975:
- in-place air flow distribution test* DOP test* activated carbon adsorber section leak test MILLSTONE

Section C.5.c requires the in-place Dioctyl phthalate (DOP) test for HEPA filters to conform to section 10 of ANSI N510-1975.
The HEPA filters should be tested in place (1). initially, (2) at least once per 18 months thereafter, and (3) following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilation zone communicating with the system. The testing is to confirm a penetration of less than 0.05%* at rated flow. A filtration system satisfying this criteria can be considered to warrant a 99% removal efficiency for particulates.
Section C.5.d requires the charcoal adsorber section to be leak tested with a gaseous halogenated hydrocarbon refrigerant, in accordance with section 12 of ANSI N510-1975 to ensure that bypass leakage through the adsorber section is less than 0.05%.** Adsorber leak testing should be conducted (1) initially, (2) at least once per 18 months thereafter, (3) following removal of an adsorber sample for laboratory testing if the integrity of the adsorber section is affected, and (4)following painting, fire, or chemical release in any ventilatioh zone communicating with the system.The ACTION requirements to immediately suspend various activities (CORE ALTERATIONS, irradiated fuel movement, etc.) do not preclude completion of the movement of a component to a safe position.Technical Specification 3.7.6.1 provides the OPERABILITY requirements for the Control Room Emergency Ventilation Trains. If a Control Room Emergency Ventilation Train emergency power source or normal power source becomes inoperable in MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4 the requirements of Technical Specification 3.0.5 apply in determining the OPERABILITY of the affected Control Room Emergency Ventilation Train. If a Control Room Emergency Ventilation Train emergency power source or normal power source becomes inoperable in MODES 5 or 6 the guidance provided by Note "**" of this specification applies in determining the OPERABILITY of the affected Control Room Emergency Ventilation Train. If a Control Room Emergency Ventilation Traii emergency power source or normal power source becomes inoperable while not in MODES 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 the requirements of Technical Specification 3.0.5 apply in determining the OPERABILITY of the affected Control Room Emergency Ventilation Train.Means that the HEPA filter will allow passage of less than 0.05% of the test concentration injection at the filter inlet from a standard DOP concentration injection.
- Means that the charcoal adsorber sections will allow passage of less than 0.05% of the injected test concentration around the charcoal adsorber section.MILLSTONE
