==SUBJECT:== | |||
Callaway Unit 1 License Renewal, Request for Information on Thermophilic Microorganisms | |||
==Dear Ms. Schutzenhofer:== | |||
AmerenUE Corporation (AmerenUE) is preparing an application to the U.S. | |||
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to renew the operating license for Callaway Unit 1 (Callaway Nuclear Plant). The current operating license for Callaway Nuclear Plant will expire on October 18, 2024. Renewing the license would provide for an additional 20 years of operation beyond this license expiration date. The NRC requires license applicants to provide ... an assessment of the impact of the proposed action [license renewal] on public health from thermophilic organisms in the affected water (10 CFR 51.53). Organisms of concern include the enteric pathogens Salmonella and Shigella, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, thermophilic Actinomycetes (fungi), the many species of Legionella bacteria, and pathogenic strains of the free-living Naegleria amoeba. | |||
As part of the license renewal process, AmerenUE is consulting with your office to determine whether there is any concern about the potential occurrence of these organisms in the Missouri River in the area of the Callaway plant. By contacting you early in the application process, we hope to identify any issues that we need to address or any information that we should provide to your office to expedite the NRC consultation. | |||
AmerenUB (formerly known as Union Electric Company) has operated Callaway Nuclear Plant since 1984. The Callaway Plant is located in Callaway County, Missouri, approximately 10 miles southeast of the town of Fulton and five miles north of the Missouri River (see attached Figure 1). The Plant employs closed-cycle cooling, with a large natural-draft cooling tower dissipating waste heat from the circulating water system. Makeup water for the cooling tower is withdrawn from the Missouri River at an intake structure located at River Mile 115.4. | |||
Cooling tower blowdown is discharged a short but sufficient distance downstream Callaway Plant Unit I Environmental Report for License Renewal E-2 | |||
Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence from the intake structure to ensure that there is no recirculation of heated water (see attached Figure 2). The maximum volume of blowdown discharged to the Missouri River (approximately 1 1 cfs), is extremely small compared to the normal flow of the Missouri River (approximately 70,000 cfs, on average), illustrating how little impact this blowdown has on river temperatures. | |||
Callaway Power Plants National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (MO-0098001), which has an effective date of February 13, 2009 requires daily monitoring of blowdown (Outfall 002) temperatures before discharge into the Missouri River. A review of Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted to Missouri DNR in the third quarter of 2007, 2008, and 2009 showed blowdown temperatures in late summer (July-AugustSeptember) ranging from 73.5° to 98°F. The hihest temperatures measured over this three-year period were recorded on August 4 and 5 a, 2008. Water temperatures between 73F and 98SF are well below the optimal temperature range (122T-l4tYF) for growth and reproduction of thermophilic microorganisms. And, as noted previously, the Callaway Plants discharge (blowdown) has very little effect on ambient water temperatures. | |||
We would appreciate hearing from you by June 10, 2010, on any concerns you may have about these organisms. Please state potential public health effects over the license renewal term or your confirmation of AsnerenUEs conclusion that operation of the Callaway Plant over the license renewal term would not stimulate growth of thermophilic pathogens in the Missouri River. This will enable us to meet our application preparation schedule. ArnerenUE will include a copy of this letter and your response in the Environmental Report that will be submitted to the NRC as part of the Callaway license renewal application. | |||
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information. | |||
Sincerely, Brian F. Holderness Senior Environmental Health Physicist | |||

==Dear Mr. Holderness:== | |||
We have reviewed the Callaway Unit I License Renewal, Request for Information on Thermophilic Microorganisms dated April 15, 2010. This document states that AmerenUE is consulting with your office (Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services) to determine whether there is any concern about the potential occurrence of these organisms in the Missouri River in the area of the Callaway plant. | |||
In the subject heading of the letter, thermophilic microorganisms are specifically mentioned. However, within the text, other organisms are mentioned such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella, and Naegleria amoeba. | |||
It is our understanding ofthis letter that you would like to receive our input as to whether or not there is a potential concern that a significant number of any of these organisms may enter the Missouri River through the power plants discharge system. This discharge system begins at the cooling tower and then travels below ground for approximately 5 miles before it discharges into the Missouri River. It is our understanding that the water temperature in the cooling tower is consistently 90° F to 100° F. The letter you sent us states that the water is between 73.5° F and 98° F when it is discharged into the Missouri River. | |||
We agree that the temperatures ofthe water in the cooling tower and throughout the discharge system are not optimal for most thermophilic microorganisms. This would eliminate the likelihood of many of these organisms occurring in the system and therefore being discharged into the river. However, some Naegleria species are thermophilic. The growth range ofthese thermophilic amoebae is cited as being 25°C to 50°C (77°F to 122°F). The temperature range ofthese amoebae overlaps the temperature range of the cooling tower and discharge. Thus, the presence of these microorganisms in the system cannot be ruled out based solely on temperature. | |||
Further, the conditions in the cooling towerand discharge are favorable for establishment and growth of other microorganisms. One organism that is known to exist in cooling towers in general is Legionella. | |||
At this time, there is no reason we know of why a microorganism, such as Legionella, could not exist in www.dhss.mo.gov Healthy Missourians for life. | |||
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will be the leader in promoting, protecting and partnering for health. | |||

At this time, we do not have enough information to accurately make a conclusion on the wide range of microorganisms mentioned in the letter. We would be happy to review this further if you can provide additional information that would better allow us to draw a more definitive conclusion. This information may include reasons why microorganisms would not live and thrive in the cooling tower or discharge pipe and/or be present in the discharge prior to entering the river.

==Dear Mr. Holderness:== | |||
I am writing in response to your letter ofApril 15, 2010 asking ifthe Department of Natural Resources had any concerns about thermophilic microorganisms in the Missouri River near the Callaway Power Plant. We do. | |||
The Department is the regulatory agency responsible for protection ofwater quality in Missouri and enforcement of state and federal clean water laws. We recently modified our state water quality standards (10 CSR 20-7.031) to include whole body contact recreation as a beneficial use on all ofthe Missouri River. We use the results ofE. co/i tests to judge whether or not there is an unacceptably high risk ofwaterbome disease for swimmers or others that may become fully immersed in the water, and we have E. co/i data from several locations on the Missouri River. Data from the lower portion of the river, from Hermann to the mouth generally fails to meet our standards for whole body contact recreation, and thus is an area of concern. | |||
However, we do not have any E. coli data from the portion ofthe river immediately downstream of the Callaway discharge, and thus do not know if this section of the river contains greater concentrations of microorganisms and thus a greater risk of waterbome disease. | |||
While generally considered good indicators ofwaterborne disease risk, E. coli are probably not good indicators ofthe full range ofthennophilic microorganisms, some of which are free living forms. E. co/i are non-pathogenic enteric bacteria and are used as indicators of fecal contamination of the water and the likely presence of pathogenic enteric bacteria such as Salmonella and Shigella. TheE. coli test does not confirm the presence of specific pathogenic enteric bacteria nor does it provide a quantitative estimate of the numbers of specific pathogenic bacteria. TheE. co/i test would likewise not be considered a good indicator of free-livings microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Naegleria amoeba. | |||
RPp Callaway Plant Unit I Environmental Report for License Renewal E-14 | |||
Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence Mr. Brian Holderness Page Two To summarize, there are elevated levels ofE. coli bacteria in the lower Missouri River, and there are substantial limitations on the ability ofthe E. coil test to characterize the full range ofpathogenic thermophilic microorganisms that may be present in the river. | |||
Adding the possibility that the Callaway plant site and discharge may create environments more suitable for free living thermophilic microorganisms than are found in most other portions of the river, the Department cannot conclude that this section of the Missouri does not pose a significant risk of waterborne disease. | |||

* Determine Total Monetary Value of Severe Accident Risk / Maximum Benefit The NRC regulatory analysis techniques to estimate the total monetary value of the severe accident risk were used throughout this analysis. In this step these techniques were used to estimate the maximum benefit that a SAMA could achieve if it eliminated all risk i.e., the maximum benefit (Section 4). | |||
* SAMA Identification In this step potential SAMA candidates (plant enhancements that reduce the likelihood of core damage and/or reduce releases from containment) were identified by Callaway Plant staff, from the PRA model, Individual Plant Examination (IPE) [28] and IPEEE recommendations, and industry documentation (Section 5). This process included consideration of the PRA importance analysis because it has been demonstrated by past SAMA analyses that SAMA candidates are not likely to prove cost-beneficial if they only mitigate the consequences of events that present a low risk to the plant. | |||
* Preliminary Screening (Phase I SAMA Analysis) | |||
Because many of the SAMA candidates identified in the previous step are from the industry, it was necessary to screen out SAMA candidates that were not applicable to the Callaway design, candidates that had already been implemented or whose benefits have been achieved at the plant using other means, and candidates whose roughly estimated cost exceeded the maximum benefit. Additionally, PRA insights (specifically, importance measures) were used directly to screen SAMA candidates that did not address significant contributors to risk in this phase (Section 6). | Because many of the SAMA candidates identified in the previous step are from the industry, it was necessary to screen out SAMA candidates that were not applicable to the Callaway design, candidates that had already been implemented or whose benefits have been achieved at the plant using other means, and candidates whose roughly estimated cost exceeded the maximum benefit.

In this step of the analysis the benefit of severe accident risk reduction was estimated for each of the remaining SAMA candidates and compared to an implementation cost estimate to determine net cost | In this step of the analysis the benefit of severe accident risk reduction was estimated for each of the remaining SAMA candidates and compared to an implementation cost estimate to determine net cost-benefit (Section 7). The benefit associated with each SAMA was determined by the reduction in severe accident risk from the baseline derived by modifying the plant model to represent the plant after implementing the candidate. In general, the modeling approach used was a bounding approach to first determine a bounding value of the benefit. If this benefit was determined to be smaller than the expected cost, no further modeling detail was necessary. If the benefit was found to be greater that the estimated cost, the modeling was refined to remove conservatism in the modeling and a less conservative benefit was determined for comparison with the estimated cost. | ||

All costs associated with a SAMA were considered, including design, engineering, safety analysis, installation, and long-term maintenance, calibrations, training, etc. If the estimated cost was found to be close to the estimated benefit, then first the benefit evaluation was refined to remove conservatism and if the estimated cost and benefit were still close, then the cost estimate was refined to assure that both the benefit calculation and the cost estimate are sufficiently accurate to justify further decision making based upon the estimates. | ||

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.1.2 External Events 3.1.2.1 Internal Fires Risk Analysis For the IPEEE, Callaway used the EPRI FIVE methodology. The assumptions and screening criteria used in implementing the FIVE methodology for Callaway are discussed in the IPEEE submittal. The Callaway FIVE analysis has not been updated since the IPEEE. A fire PRA is under development to support transition of the Callaway fire protection program to NFPA 805 requirements; however, this fire model was not available for performance of the SAMA analysis. | |||
The preliminary results of the NFPA 805 fire PRA modeling show a CDF of 2.00E-5/yr. which was used in this analysis. This fire CDF is consistent with previous analysis results. | |||
3.1.2.2 Seismic Events Risk Analysis For the IPEEE, Callaway used the EPRI seismic margins analysis (SMA) method. This analysis was transmitted to NRC in the IPEEE submittal. The latest estimate of the Callaway seismic contribution to CDF is 5.00E-6/yr. A 2010 NRC risk assessment relating to Generic Issue 199 estimated Callaway seismic core damage frequency at approximately 2E-6/yr using 2008 USGS seismic hazard curves and a weakest link model. Comparing this to the frequency employed in the SAMA analysis, it appears that Callaways 5E-6/yr seismic contribution to CDF is conservative relative to the NRC assessment under Generic Issue 199. | |||
3.1.2.3 Other External Events Risk Analysis To address potential vulnerabilities from the effects of high winds, floods, and transportation and nearby facility accidents for the IPEEE, Callaway reviewed plant-specific hazard data and its licensing basis. Callaway also determined that there were no significant changes, relative to these sources of risk, since the Operating License was issued. The only risk impact from high winds is from tornado events. This risk is estimated to be 2.50E-5/yr. Conformance to the 1975 Standard Review Plan (SRP) was also assessed. Callaways assessment of these sources of external events risk has not been updated since the IPEEE. | |||
The Callaway internal events PRA model does not include an analysis of internal flooding. The risk due to internal floods was analyzed in the Callaway IPE, but not included in the internal events PRA model. The IPE determined the contribution to CDF from internal flooding to be 9.14E-6/yr. | |||
The Callaway IPEEE concluded that external flooding does not present a risk to the Callaway Plant. The Probable Maximum Flood for the Missouri River in the vicinity of the Callaway Plant is estimated to be 548 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Callaway Plant grade level is 840 feet above msl and is not impacted by river flooding on the Missouri River. Flooding due to intense local rainfall is estimated to result in local ponding to elevation 839.87 feet above msl. | |||
This is 0.13 feet below plant grade and 0.63 feet below the safety-related facilities standard plant elevation. | |||

The driver for this effort was that LERF was the only Level 2-related metric used in most risk-informed applications. In 2002, the LERF model was updated to reflect the internal events PRA Second Update. | |||
The Level 2 PRA model was updated in 2011. As part of the update, the model: | |||

3.2.1. Level 1 to Level 2 Interface Plant damage states and their representative Level 1 accident scenarios provide an interface between the Level 1 and Level 2 analyses. Each Level 1 accident sequence that leads to core damage consists of a unique combination of an initiating event followed by the success or failure of various plant systems (including operator actions). Due to the large number of accident sequences created by the Level 1 PRA, the Level 1 sequences that result in core damage can be grouped into plant damage state (or accident class) bins. Each bin collects all of those sequences for which the progression of core damage, the release of fission products from the fuel, the status of the containment and its safeguards systems, and the potential for mitigating the potential radiological source terms are similar. The detailed containment event tree then analyzes each plant damage state bin as a group. | Updated LERF Model (uses Second Update 6/2002 4.20E-7 Level 1 model (10/00)) | ||
Plant damage state bins can be used as the entry states to the containment event tree quantification (similar to initiating events for the Level 1 PRA), or can be used to direct sequences onto specific containment event tree branches. The plant damage state (PDS) bins are characterized by the status of containment bypass due to SGTR or ISLOCA, the status of offsite/emergency power, reactor coolant system pressure, and the status of water in the reactor cavity. The definition of plant damage states incorporates information from the outcome of the Level 1 analysis that is important to the determination of containment response and the release of radioactive materials into the environment. | Updated full Level 2 Model (used 4B Level 1 4/2011 2.73E-6 model) | ||

Along with containment systems performance, the containment event trees (CETs) consider | Along with containment systems performance, the containment event trees (CETs) consider the influence that physical and chemical processes have on the integrity of the containment and on the release of fission products once core damage has occurred. The important physical conditions in the RCS and the containment include the pressure inside the reactor vessel at the onset of core damage, whether the reactor cavity is flooded, and the availability of cooling on the secondary side of the steam generators. | ||
In this study, the RCS pressure identified in the definition of PDSs is that which occurs at the onset of core damage. Events that could influence the change in pressure after the onset of core damage but prior to vessel breach are addressed in the CETs. The two most important effects of high pressure for a Level 2 PRA are challenges to the steam generator tubes and direct containment heating. Because of this, three RCS pressure level categories are considered in the PRA: | In this study, the RCS pressure identified in the definition of PDSs is that which occurs at the onset of core damage. Events that could influence the change in pressure after the onset of core damage but prior to vessel breach are addressed in the CETs. The two most important effects of high pressure for a Level 2 PRA are challenges to the steam generator tubes and direct containment heating. Because of this, three RCS pressure level categories are considered in the PRA: high, medium, or low. Pressure level assignment was based on the accident initiators (e.g., medium and large LOCAs result in low pressure) and the availability of feedwater (which results in pressure low enough to alleviate steam generator tube challenges, but has slightly different effects on accident progression - categorized as medium pressure). In general, either a medium/large LOCA, depressurization through the PORVs, or hot leg creep rupture is required to reach low pressure. Smaller LOCAs and transients with steam generators being fed are considered to be at medium pressure at the time of core damage. Without secondary side cooling, smaller LOCAs and transients are modeled as high pressure scenarios. | ||

Because of the way individual sequences are processed through WinNUPRA using unique house event files, sequences with a loss of offsite power or a station blackout must be identified in order to carry those house event settings through the Level 2 analysis.

The Callaway PRA was used to generate a list of basic events sorted according to their RRW values as related to LERF and Large Late Release. The top events in this list are those events that would provide the greatest reduction in the Callaway LERF and Large Late Release if the failure probability were set to zero. The events were reviewed down to the 1.005 level, which corresponds to about a 0.5 percent change in the LERF/Large Late Release given 100 percent reliability of the event. Table 3-6 documents the disposition of each basic event in the Callaway PRA with RRW values of 1.005 or greater as related to LERF. Table 3-7 documents the disposition of each basic event in the Callaway PRA with RRW values of 1.005 or greater as related to Late releases.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives The MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System (MACCS2) Version 1.13 was used to perform the calculations of the off-site consequences of a severe accident. This code is documented in NUREG/CR-6613 [22], Code Manual for MACCS2: Volumes 1 and 2. | |||
Plant-specific release data included the time-dependent nuclide distribution of releases and release frequencies. The behavior of the population during a release (evacuation parameters) was based on plant and site-specific set points. These data were used in combination with site-specific meteorology to simulate the probability distribution of impact risks (both exposures and economic effects) to the surrounding 50-mile radius population as a result of the release accident sequences at Callaway. | |||
The following sections describe input data for the MACCS2 analysis tool. The analyses are provided in References 24 and 25. | |||
3.4.1 Population Distribution The SECPOP2000 code, documented in NUREG/CR-6525 [26], is one means of calculating most input data required for a MACCS2 SITE file. SECPOP2000 can utilize 1990 or 2000 census population data, and associated county economic data. For the Callaway analysis, the SECPOP2000 code was utilized to develop initial residential population estimates for each spatial element within the 50 mile region based on year 2000 census data. Transient population data was added for spatial elements within the 10-mile radius based on the Callaway evacuation time estimate study. The population data was projected to year 2044 using county growth estimates based on Missouri Office of Administration projections for 2030 [25]. | |||
Tables 3-9 and 3-10 identify the year 2044 projected population distribution. Data choices are consistent with industry guidance provided in NEI 05-01 [19]. | |||

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.4.2 Economic Data MACCS2 requires certain site specific economic data (fraction of land devoted to farming, annual farm sales, fraction of farm sales resulting from dairy production, and property value of farm and non-farm land) for each of the 160 spatial elements. The site specific base case values are calculated using the economic data from the 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture and from other data sources, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis, updated to May 2010 values using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The calculation approach documented in NUREG/CR-6525 (SECPOP2000) was utilized to develop the regional economic data inputs, but the SECPOP2000 code was not utilized for this purpose because the embedded economic data files contain older data (i.e., 1997 U.S. Department of Agriculture). | |||
In addition to these site specific values, generic economic data are utilized by MACCS2 to address costs associated with per diem living expenses (applied to owners of interdicted properties and relocated populations), relocation costs (for owners of interdicted properties), | |||
- | and decontamination costs. For the Callaway base case, these generic costs are based on values used in the NUREG-1150 studies (as documented in the NUREG/CR-4551 series of reports), updated to May 2010 using the CPI (Table 3-11). | ||

Decontamination Factors of 3 and 15 were used in the Callaway analysis, consistent with NUREG-1150 studies. | |||
3.4.3 Nuclide Release Core inventory represents end-of-cycle values for Callaway operating at 3565 MWth (current licensed value). The estimated core inventory reflects the current and anticipated fuel management / burnup during the license renewal period. Inventory values are provided in Table 3-12. Source term release fractions and other release data are based on plant specific MAAP simulations. Releases are modeled to occur at mid-height of the containment, consistent with NEI 05-01 guidance. Three plumes are modeled as presented in Table 3-13. The NRC has found the use of MAAP reasonable and appropriate for the purposes of SAMA analysis. | |||
Opponents in other proceedings have suggested that the source terms in NUREG-1465 should be used. However, the NUREG-1465 source term only addresses the release of radionuclides into containment. Releases into containment and releases into the environment are very different events, with significant differences in sequence progression, release pathways, and fission product deposition and removal mechanisms. Additionally, use of plant specific data (when available) is preferred to generic data. Thus, use of the NUREG-1465 source terms would be inappropriate. | |||

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.4.4 Emergency Response A reactor trip signal begins each evaluated accident sequence. A General Emergency is declared when plant conditions degrade to the point where it is judged that there is a credible risk to the public. Therefore, the timing of the General Emergency declaration is sequence specific and declaration ranges from 1 to 4 hours for the release sequences evaluated. | |||
Evacuation parameters included in the file are based on the evacuation time estimate study for the Callaway Plant. Protective action parameters for the EARLY phase are based on the protective action guides (PAGs) specified in EPA-400. Data choices are consistent with guidance provided in NEI 05-01 [19]. In the modeling, 95% of the population is assumed to evacuate the 10 mile region of the emergency planning zone (EPZ) radially at an average speed of 2.14 meters/second, starting 105 minutes after the declaration of general emergency. The evacuation time estimate study presents evacuation times for normal and adverse weather conditions for an evacuation occurring in the daytime on a winter weekday. A daytime winter weekday evacuation was judged in the time estimate study to be conservative compared to other potential time periods (e.g., nighttime, summer, weekend). For the Level 3 analysis, the evacuation speed is time weighted average assuming normal weather conditions 90% of the time and adverse weather conditions 10% of the time. | |||
Two evacuation sensitivity cases were performed. The first sensitivity case evaluated the impact of an increased delay time before evacuation begins (i.e., vehicles begin moving in the 10 mile region). For this sensitivity, the base case delay time of 105 minutes is doubled to 210 minutes. The increased delay time results in an increase in dose risk of about 2.4%. The second sensitivity case assessed the impact of evacuation speed assumptions by reducing the evacuation speed by one half, to 1.0 7 m/s (2.4 mph). The slower evacuation speed increases the dose risk by approximately 7%. | Two evacuation sensitivity cases were performed.

MACCS2 does not permit missing data, so bad or missing data were filled in by using interpolation, substituting data from the previous or subsequent day, or using precipitation data from the Prairie Fork Conservation area (9.5 miles NNE). The 2008 data set was found to be the most complete (<0.1% data voids) and also result in the largest economic cost risk and dose risk compared to the 2007 and 2009 data sets. Because the MACCS2 code can only process one year of meteorological data at a time, the 2008 data was conservatively selected for the base case analysis. | ||

Indeed, the largest observed deviation between mean results produced by MACCS2 and LODI was 58%. In comparison, the largest observed deviation between RASCAL and LODI was 61%. When averaged over a series of radial arcs out to fifty miles, MACCS2 was within plus or minus 10% of the three dimensional model. The Midwest terrain and meteorological data used in this study is very representative of Callaway. | ||

Similarly, a more recent comparison of MACCS2 against another Lagrangian puff model (CALMET, the meteorological processor in CALPUFF) using data from multiple meteorological stations showed that consideration of time and spatially variable wind fields would have less than a 4% impact on the SAMA analysis in the Pilgrim license renewal proceeding, notwithstanding the existence of a sea breeze phenomenon at that facility. Thus, MACCS2 appears well suited for estimating mean offsite consequences for use in SAMA analysis, and particularly appropriate for Callaway given the results of the Molenkamp study and the simple terrain in the vicinity of the plant. | Similarly, a more recent comparison of MACCS2 against another Lagrangian puff model (CALMET, the meteorological processor in CALPUFF) using data from multiple meteorological stations showed that consideration of time and spatially variable wind fields would have less than a 4% impact on the SAMA analysis in the Pilgrim license renewal proceeding, notwithstanding the existence of a sea breeze phenomenon at that facility.

The methodology used for this evaluation was based upon the NRCs guidance for the performance of cost-benefit analyses [15]. This guidance involves determining the net value for each SAMA according to the following formula: | ||
Net Value = (APE + AOC + AOE + AOSC) - COE Where APE = present value of averted public exposure ($) | Net Value = (APE + AOC + AOE + AOSC) - COE Where APE = present value of averted public exposure ($) | ||
AOC = present value of averted offsite property damage costs ($) | AOC = present value of averted offsite property damage costs ($) | ||
AOE = present value of averted occupational exposure ($) | AOE = present value of averted occupational exposure ($) | ||
AOSC = present value of averted onsite costs ($) | AOSC = present value of averted onsite costs ($) | ||
COE = cost of enhancement ($). | COE = cost of enhancement ($). | ||
If the net value of a SAMA is negative, the cost of implementing the SAMA is larger than the benefit associated with the SAMA and is not considered beneficial. The derivation of each of these costs is described in below. | If the net value of a SAMA is negative, the cost of implementing the SAMA is larger than the benefit associated with the SAMA and is not considered beneficial.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 5.0 SAMA IDENTIFICATION A list of SAMA candidates was developed by reviewing the major contributors to CDF and population dose based on the plant-specific risk assessment and the standard pressurized water reactor (PWR) list of enhancements from Reference 19 (NEI 05-01). Other recent license renewal applications (including Wolf Creek) were also reviewed to identify any applicable SAMA items for consideration. This section discusses the SAMA selection process and its results. | |||
5.1 PRA IMPORTANCE The top core damage sequences and the components/systems having the greatest potential for risk reduction were examined to determine whether additional SAMAs could be identified from these sources. | |||
Use of Importance Measures RRW of the basic events in the baseline model was used to identify those basic events that could have a significant potential for reducing risk. Basic Events with RRW >1.02 were identified as the most important. The basic events were reviewed to ensure that each basic event on the importance lists is covered by an existing SAMA item or added to the list if not. | |||
5.2 PLANT IPE The Callaway Plant PRA identified no potential vulnerabilities. However, a number of plant modifications and procedure changes to reduce risk were identified. The Callaway Plant potential enhancements are listed in Table 5-1. | |||
5.3 PLANT IPEEE Potential improvements to reduce seismic risk and risk from other external events were evaluated in the Callaway Plant IPEEE. These items are included in Table 5-1. | |||
5.4 INDUSTRY SAMA CANDIDATES The generic PWR enhancement list from Table 14 of Reference 19 was included in the list of Phase I SAMA candidates to assure adequate consideration of potential enhancements identified by other industry studies. | |||
5.5 PLANT STAFF INPUT TO SAMA CANDIDATES The Callaway plant staff provided plant specific items that were included in the evaluation. | |||
These are identified in the list of SAMA candidates by their source. | |||
5.6 LIST OF PHASE I SAMA CANDIDATES Table 5-1 provides the combined list of potential SAMA candidates considered in the Callaway Plant SAMA analysis. From this table it can be seen that 171 SAMA candidates were identified for consideration. | |||

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives | Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 7.0 PHASE II SAMA ANALYSIS A cost-benefit analysis was performed on each of the SAMA candidates remaining after the Phase I screening. The benefit of a SAMA candidate is the difference between the baseline cost of severe accident risk (maximum benefit from Section 4.5) and the cost of severe accident risk with the SAMA implemented (Section 7.1). The cost figure used is the estimated cost to implement the specific SAMA. If the estimated cost of implementation exceeds the benefit of implementation, the SAMA is not cost-beneficial. | ||
7.1 SAMA BENEFIT 7.1.1 Severe Accident Risk with SAMA Implemented Bounding analyses were used to determine the change in risk following implementation of SAMA candidates or groups of similar SAMA candidates. For each analysis case, the Level 1 internal events or Level 2 PRA models were altered to conservatively consider implementation of the SAMA candidate(s). Then, severe accident risk measures were calculated using the same procedure used for the baseline case described in Section 3. The changes made to the PRA models for each analysis case are described in the annex, Section 11. | |||
Bounding analyses are exemplified by the following: | |||
LBLOCA This analysis case was used to evaluate the change in plant risk profile that would be achieved if a digital large break LOCA protection system was installed. Although the proposed change would not completely eliminate the potential for a large break LOCA, a bounding benefit was estimated by removing the large break LOCA initiating event. This analysis case was used to model the benefit of SAMAs that deal with mitigation of large LOCA events. | |||
DCPWR This analysis case was used to evaluate plant modifications that would increase the availability of Class 1E DC power (e.g., increased battery capacity or the installation of a diesel-powered generator that would effectively increase battery capacity). Although the proposed SAMAs would not completely eliminate the potential failure, a bounding benefit was estimated by removing the battery discharge events and battery failure events. This analysis case was used to model the benefit of SAMAs that deal with mitigation of station blackout events regarding extending the availability of DC power. | |||
The severe accident risk measures were obtained for each analysis case by modifying the baseline model in a simple manner to capture the effect of implementation of the SAMA in a bounding manner. Bounding analyses are very conservative and result in overestimation of the benefit of the candidate analyzed. However, if this bounding assessment yields a benefit that is smaller than the cost of implementation, then the effort involved in refining the PRA modeling approach for the SAMA would be unnecessary because it would only yield a lower benefit result. If the benefit is greater than the cost when modeled in this bounding approach, it is necessary to refine the PRA model of the SAMA to remove the excess conservatism. As a result of this modeling approach, models representing the Phase II SAMAs will not all be at the Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-86 | |||

comparison with the benefit. For the purpose of this analysis the Callaway staff has estimated that the cost of making a change to a procedure and for conducting the necessary training on a procedure change is expected to exceed $15,000. Similarly, the minimum cost associated with development and implementation of an integrated hardware modification package (including post-implementation costs, e.g. training) is expected to exceed $100,000. These values were used for initial comparison with the benefit of SAMAs. The benefits resulting from the bounding estimates presented in the benefit analysis are in some cases rather low. In those cases for which the benefits are so low that it is obvious that the implementation costs would exceed the benefit, a detailed cost estimate was not warranted. Plant staff judgment is applied in assessing whether the benefit approaches the expected implementation costs in many cases. | Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives same level of detail and if any are implemented, the PRA result after implementation of the final installed design will differ from the screening-type analyses done during this evaluation. | ||
Plant staff judgment was obtained from an independent, expert panel consisting of senior staff members from the PRA group, the design group, operations and license renewal. This panel reviewed the benefit calculation results and, based upon their experience with developing and implementing modifications at the plant, judged whether a modification could be made to the plant that would be cost beneficial in comparison with the calculated benefit. The purpose of this approach was to minimize the effort expended on detailed cost estimation. The cost estimations provided by the expert panel are included in Table 7 | 7.1.2 Cost of Severe Accident Risk with SAMA Implemented Using the risk measures determined as described in Section 7.1.1, severe accident impacts in four areas (offsite exposure cost, off-site economic cost, on-site exposure cost, and on-site economic cost) were calculated using the same procedure used for the baseline case described in Section 4. As in Section 4.5, the severe accident impacts were summed to estimate the total cost of severe accident risk with the SAMA implemented. | ||

The estimated benefit for each SAMA candidate is listed in Table 7-1. The calculation of the benefit is performed using an Excel spreadsheet. | ||
The results of the sensitivity analyses are presented in Section 8. | 7.2 COST OF SAMA IMPLEMENTATION The final step in the evaluation of the SAMAs is estimating the cost of implementation for comparison with the benefit.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 8.0 SENSITIVITY ANALYSES The purpose of performing sensitivity analyses is to examine the impact of analysis assumptions on the results of the SAMA evaluation. This section identifies several sensitivities that can be considered in SAMA analysis (Reference 19, NEI 05-01) and discusses the sensitivity as is applies to Callaway Plant and the impact of the sensitivity on the results of the Phase II SAMA analysis at Callaway. | |||

To consider this uncertainty, a sensitivity analysis was performed in which an uncertainty factor was applied to the frequencies calculated by the PRA and the subsequent benefits were calculated based upon the point estimate risk values multiplied by this uncertainty factor. The uncertainty factor applied is the ratio of the 95th percentile value of the CDF from the PRA uncertainty analysis to the mean value of the CDF. | ||

The second sensitivity case assesses the impact of evacuation speed assumptions by reducing the evacuation speed by one half, to 1.07 m/s (2.4 mph). The slower evacuation speed increases the dose risk by approximately 7%. An increase in dose risk is generally expected because individuals will tend to be subject to the plumes for a longer period of time when traveling slower. For either evacuation speed, the plumes can be viewed as tending to blow over the evacuees (average wind speed of 7 mph) as the evacuees progress through traffic. | The second sensitivity case assesses the impact of evacuation speed assumptions by reducing the evacuation speed by one half, to 1.07 m/s (2.4 mph).

SUBJECT:
Callaway Unit 1 License Renewal, Request for Information on Thermophilic Microorganisms
Dear Ms. Schutzenhofer:
AmerenUE Corporation (AmerenUE) is preparing an application to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to renew the operating license for Callaway Unit 1 (Callaway Nuclear Plant). The current operating license for Callaway Nuclear Plant will expire on October 18, 2024. Renewing the license would provide for an additional 20 years of operation beyond this license expiration date. The NRC requires license applicants to provide ... an assessment of the impact of the proposed action [license renewal] on public health from thermophilic organisms in the affected water (10 CFR 51.53). Organisms of concern include the enteric pathogens Salmonella and Shigella, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, thermophilic Actinomycetes (fungi), the many species of Legionella bacteria, and pathogenic strains of the free-living Naegleria amoeba.
As part of the license renewal process, AmerenUE is consulting with your office to determine whether there is any concern about the potential occurrence of these organisms in the Missouri River in the area of the Callaway plant. By contacting you early in the application process, we hope to identify any issues that we need to address or any information that we should provide to your office to expedite the NRC consultation.
AmerenUB (formerly known as Union Electric Company) has operated Callaway Nuclear Plant since 1984. The Callaway Plant is located in Callaway County, Missouri, approximately 10 miles southeast of the town of Fulton and five miles north of the Missouri River (see attached Figure 1). The Plant employs closed-cycle cooling, with a large natural-draft cooling tower dissipating waste heat from the circulating water system. Makeup water for the cooling tower is withdrawn from the Missouri River at an intake structure located at River Mile 115.4.
Cooling tower blowdown is discharged a short but sufficient distance downstream Callaway Plant Unit I Environmental Report for License Renewal E-2
Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence from the intake structure to ensure that there is no recirculation of heated water (see attached Figure 2). The maximum volume of blowdown discharged to the Missouri River (approximately 1 1 cfs), is extremely small compared to the normal flow of the Missouri River (approximately 70,000 cfs, on average), illustrating how little impact this blowdown has on river temperatures.
Callaway Power Plants National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (MO-0098001), which has an effective date of February 13, 2009 requires daily monitoring of blowdown (Outfall 002) temperatures before discharge into the Missouri River. A review of Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted to Missouri DNR in the third quarter of 2007, 2008, and 2009 showed blowdown temperatures in late summer (July-AugustSeptember) ranging from 73.5° to 98°F. The hihest temperatures measured over this three-year period were recorded on August 4 and 5 a, 2008. Water temperatures between 73F and 98SF are well below the optimal temperature range (122T-l4tYF) for growth and reproduction of thermophilic microorganisms. And, as noted previously, the Callaway Plants discharge (blowdown) has very little effect on ambient water temperatures.
We would appreciate hearing from you by June 10, 2010, on any concerns you may have about these organisms. Please state potential public health effects over the license renewal term or your confirmation of AsnerenUEs conclusion that operation of the Callaway Plant over the license renewal term would not stimulate growth of thermophilic pathogens in the Missouri River. This will enable us to meet our application preparation schedule. ArnerenUE will include a copy of this letter and your response in the Environmental Report that will be submitted to the NRC as part of the Callaway license renewal application.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Sincerely, Brian F. Holderness Senior Environmental Health Physicist

Dear Mr. Holderness:
We have reviewed the Callaway Unit I License Renewal, Request for Information on Thermophilic Microorganisms dated April 15, 2010. This document states that AmerenUE is consulting with your office (Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services) to determine whether there is any concern about the potential occurrence of these organisms in the Missouri River in the area of the Callaway plant.
In the subject heading of the letter, thermophilic microorganisms are specifically mentioned. However, within the text, other organisms are mentioned such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella, and Naegleria amoeba.
It is our understanding ofthis letter that you would like to receive our input as to whether or not there is a potential concern that a significant number of any of these organisms may enter the Missouri River through the power plants discharge system. This discharge system begins at the cooling tower and then travels below ground for approximately 5 miles before it discharges into the Missouri River. It is our understanding that the water temperature in the cooling tower is consistently 90° F to 100° F. The letter you sent us states that the water is between 73.5° F and 98° F when it is discharged into the Missouri River.
We agree that the temperatures ofthe water in the cooling tower and throughout the discharge system are not optimal for most thermophilic microorganisms. This would eliminate the likelihood of many of these organisms occurring in the system and therefore being discharged into the river. However, some Naegleria species are thermophilic. The growth range ofthese thermophilic amoebae is cited as being 25°C to 50°C (77°F to 122°F). The temperature range ofthese amoebae overlaps the temperature range of the cooling tower and discharge. Thus, the presence of these microorganisms in the system cannot be ruled out based solely on temperature.
Further, the conditions in the cooling towerand discharge are favorable for establishment and growth of other microorganisms. One organism that is known to exist in cooling towers in general is Legionella.
At this time, there is no reason we know of why a microorganism, such as Legionella, could not exist in www.dhss.mo.gov Healthy Missourians for life.
The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services will be the leader in promoting, protecting and partnering for health.

Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence Mr. Brian Holderness June 21, 2010 Page 2 of 2 this system. We also do not know of anything in the system that would prevent these microorganisms from entering the Missouri River through the discharge system.
At this time, we do not have enough information to accurately make a conclusion on the wide range of microorganisms mentioned in the letter. We would be happy to review this further if you can provide additional information that would better allow us to draw a more definitive conclusion. This information may include reasons why microorganisms would not live and thrive in the cooling tower or discharge pipe and/or be present in the discharge prior to entering the river. If you have any questions, please contact Jeff Wenzel at (573) 751-6102.

Dear Mr. Mohammadi:
AmerenUE Corporation (AmerenUE) is preparing an application to the U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to renew the operating license for Callaway Unit 1 (Callaway Nuclear Plant). The current operating license for Callaway Nuclear Plant will expire on October 18, 2024. Renewing the license would provide for an additional 20 years of operation beyond this license expiration date, The NRC requires license applicants to provide ... an assessment of the impact of the proposed action (license renewal] on public health from thermophilic organisms in the affected water (10 CFR 51.53). Organisms of concern include the enteric pathogens Salmonella and Shigella, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacterium, thermophilic Actinomycetes (fungi), the many species of Legionella bacteria, and pathogenic strains of the free-living Naegleria amoeba.
As part of the license renewal process, AmerenUE is consulting with your office to determine whether there is any concern about the potential occurrence of these organisms in the Missouri River in the area of the Callaway plant. By contacting you early in the application process, we hope to identify any issues that we need to address or any information that we should provide to your office to expedite the NRC consultation.
AmerenUE (formerly known as Union Electric Company) has operated Callaway Nuclear Plant since 1984. The Callaway Plant is located in Callaway County, Missouri, approximately 10 miles southeast of the town of Fulton and five miles north of the Missouri River (see attached Figure 1). The Plant employs closed-cycle cooling, with a large natural-draft cooling tower dissipating waste heat from the circulating water system. Makeup water for the cooling tower is withdrawn from the Missouri River at an intake structure located at River Mile 115.4.
Cooling tower blowdown is discharged a short but sufficient distance downstream SS iayoArr,eri Callaway Plant Unit I Environmental Report for License Renewal E-9
Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence from the intake structure to ensure that there is no recirculation of heated water (see attached Figure 2). The maximum volume of blowdown discharged to the Missouri River (approximately 11 cfs), is extremely small compared to the normal flow of the Missouri River (approximately 70,000 cfs, on average), illustrating how little impact this hiowdown has on river temperatures.
Callaway Power Plants National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (MO-0098001), which has an effective date of February 13, 2009 requires daily monitoring of blowdown (Outfall 002) temperatures before discharge into the Missouri River. A review of Discharge Monitoring Reports submitted to Missouri DNR in the third quarter of 2007, 2008, and 2009 showed blowdown temperatures in late summer (July-August-September) ranging from 7350 to 98°F. The hihest temperatures measured over this three-year period were recorded on August 4 and 5 th, 2008. Water temperatures between 73F and 98F are well below the optimal temperature range (122F440F) for growth and reproduction of thermophilic microorganisms. And, as noted previously, the Callaway Plants discharge (blowdown) has very little effect on ambient water temperatures.
We would appreciate hearing from you by June 10, 2010, on any concerns you may have about these organisms. Please state potential public health effects over the license renewal term or your confirmation of AmerenUEs conclusion that operation of the Callaway Plant over the license renewal term would not stimulate growth of thermophilic pathogens in the Missouri River. This will enable us to meet our application preparation schedule. AmerenUE will include a copy of this letter and your response in the Environmental Report that will be submitted to the NRC as part of the Callaway license renewal application.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require any additional information.
Sincerely, Brian F. Holderness Senior Environmental Health Physicist

Dear Mr. Holderness:
I am writing in response to your letter ofApril 15, 2010 asking ifthe Department of Natural Resources had any concerns about thermophilic microorganisms in the Missouri River near the Callaway Power Plant. We do.
The Department is the regulatory agency responsible for protection ofwater quality in Missouri and enforcement of state and federal clean water laws. We recently modified our state water quality standards (10 CSR 20-7.031) to include whole body contact recreation as a beneficial use on all ofthe Missouri River. We use the results ofE. co/i tests to judge whether or not there is an unacceptably high risk ofwaterbome disease for swimmers or others that may become fully immersed in the water, and we have E. co/i data from several locations on the Missouri River. Data from the lower portion of the river, from Hermann to the mouth generally fails to meet our standards for whole body contact recreation, and thus is an area of concern.
However, we do not have any E. coli data from the portion ofthe river immediately downstream of the Callaway discharge, and thus do not know if this section of the river contains greater concentrations of microorganisms and thus a greater risk of waterbome disease.
While generally considered good indicators ofwaterborne disease risk, E. coli are probably not good indicators ofthe full range ofthennophilic microorganisms, some of which are free living forms. E. co/i are non-pathogenic enteric bacteria and are used as indicators of fecal contamination of the water and the likely presence of pathogenic enteric bacteria such as Salmonella and Shigella. TheE. coli test does not confirm the presence of specific pathogenic enteric bacteria nor does it provide a quantitative estimate of the numbers of specific pathogenic bacteria. TheE. co/i test would likewise not be considered a good indicator of free-livings microorganisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Naegleria amoeba.
RPp Callaway Plant Unit I Environmental Report for License Renewal E-14
Attachment E Microbiological Correspondence Mr. Brian Holderness Page Two To summarize, there are elevated levels ofE. coli bacteria in the lower Missouri River, and there are substantial limitations on the ability ofthe E. coil test to characterize the full range ofpathogenic thermophilic microorganisms that may be present in the river.
Adding the possibility that the Callaway plant site and discharge may create environments more suitable for free living thermophilic microorganisms than are found in most other portions of the river, the Department cannot conclude that this section of the Missouri does not pose a significant risk of waterborne disease.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (573) 751-7024 or email me at john.fordi2dnr.mo.gpv.

SUMMARY
This report provides an analysis of the Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMAs) that were identified for consideration by the Callaway Station. This analysis was conducted on a cost/benefit basis. The benefit results are contained in Section 4 of this report. Candidate SAMAs that do not have benefit evaluations have been eliminated from further consideration for any of the following reasons:
- The cost is considered excessive compared with benefits.
- The improvement is not applicable to Callaway Plant.
- The improvement has already been implemented at Callaway Plant or the intended effect of the improvement has already been achieved for Callaway Plant.
After eliminating a portion of the SAMAs for the preceding reasons, the remaining SAMAs are evaluated from a cost-benefit perspective. In general, the evaluation examines the SAMAs from a bounding analysis approach to determine whether the expected cost would exceed a conservative approximation of the actual expected benefit.
Major insights from this benefit evaluation process included the following:
- If all severe accident risk is eliminated, then the benefit in dollars over 20 years is
$3,192,773.
- The largest contributors to the total benefit estimate are from onsite dose savings and onsite property costs including replacement power.
- A large number of SAMAs had already been addressed by existing plant features, modifications to improve the plant, existing procedures, or procedure changes to enhance human performance.
- Three SAMAs were identified as potentially cost-beneficial and are described in the following table.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 PURPOSE The purpose of the analysis is to identify Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives (SAMA) candidates at the Callaway Plant that have the potential to reduce severe accident risk and to determine whether implementation of the individual SAMA candidate would be cost beneficial.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) license renewal environmental regulations require SAMA evaluation.
1.2 REQUIREMENTS
- The environmental report must contain a consideration of alternatives to mitigate severe accidents if the staff has not previously considered severe accident mitigation alternatives for the applicants plant in an environmental impact statement or related supplement or in an environment assessment...
- 10 CFR 51, Subpart A, Appendix B, Table B-1, Issue 76
- The probability weighted consequences of atmospheric releases, fallout onto open bodies of water, releases to ground water, and societal and economic impacts from severe accidents are small for all plants. However, alternatives to mitigate severe accidents must be considered for all plants that have not considered such alternatives.
2.0 METHOD The SAMA analysis approach applied in the Callaway assessment consists of the following steps.
- Determine Severe Accident Risk Level 1 and 2 Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) Model The Callaway PRA model (Section 3.1 - 3.2) was used as input to the Callaway Level 3 PRA analysis (Section 3.4).
The PRA results include the risk from internal events, and tornado-induced loss of offsite power. Other external hazards including internal flooding and fires are not evaluated in the PRA. The risk contribution from these non-PRA, external hazards was evaluated in the Individual Plant Examination - External Events (IPEEE) [29] and is added to the risk from the internal events PRA for the SAMA evaluations.
Level 3 PRA Analysis The Level 1 and 2 PRA output and site-specific meteorology, demographic, land use, and emergency response data was used as input for the Callaway Level 3 PRA (Section 3). This combined model was used to estimate the severe accident risk i.e., off-site dose and economic impacts of a severe accident.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives
- Determine Total Monetary Value of Severe Accident Risk / Maximum Benefit The NRC regulatory analysis techniques to estimate the total monetary value of the severe accident risk were used throughout this analysis. In this step these techniques were used to estimate the maximum benefit that a SAMA could achieve if it eliminated all risk i.e., the maximum benefit (Section 4).
- SAMA Identification In this step potential SAMA candidates (plant enhancements that reduce the likelihood of core damage and/or reduce releases from containment) were identified by Callaway Plant staff, from the PRA model, Individual Plant Examination (IPE) [28] and IPEEE recommendations, and industry documentation (Section 5). This process included consideration of the PRA importance analysis because it has been demonstrated by past SAMA analyses that SAMA candidates are not likely to prove cost-beneficial if they only mitigate the consequences of events that present a low risk to the plant.
- Preliminary Screening (Phase I SAMA Analysis)
Because many of the SAMA candidates identified in the previous step are from the industry, it was necessary to screen out SAMA candidates that were not applicable to the Callaway design, candidates that had already been implemented or whose benefits have been achieved at the plant using other means, and candidates whose roughly estimated cost exceeded the maximum benefit. Additionally, PRA insights (specifically, importance measures) were used directly to screen SAMA candidates that did not address significant contributors to risk in this phase (Section 6).
- Final Screening (Phase II SAMA Analysis)
In this step of the analysis the benefit of severe accident risk reduction was estimated for each of the remaining SAMA candidates and compared to an implementation cost estimate to determine net cost-benefit (Section 7). The benefit associated with each SAMA was determined by the reduction in severe accident risk from the baseline derived by modifying the plant model to represent the plant after implementing the candidate. In general, the modeling approach used was a bounding approach to first determine a bounding value of the benefit. If this benefit was determined to be smaller than the expected cost, no further modeling detail was necessary. If the benefit was found to be greater that the estimated cost, the modeling was refined to remove conservatism in the modeling and a less conservative benefit was determined for comparison with the estimated cost.
Similarly, the initial cost estimate used in this analysis was the input from the expert panel (plant staff familiar with design, construction, operation, training and maintenance) meeting. All costs associated with a SAMA were considered, including design, engineering, safety analysis, installation, and long-term maintenance, calibrations, training, etc. If the estimated cost was found to be close to the estimated benefit, then first the benefit evaluation was refined to remove conservatism and if the estimated cost and benefit were still close, then the cost estimate was refined to assure that both the benefit calculation and the cost estimate are sufficiently accurate to justify further decision making based upon the estimates.

- Sensitivity Analysis The next step in the SAMA analysis process involved evaluation on the impact of changes in SAMA analysis assumptions and uncertainties on the cost-benefit analysis (Section 8).
- Identify Conclusions The final step involved summarizing the results and conclusions (Section 9).
3.0 SEVERE ACCIDENT RISK The Callaway PRA models describe the results of the first two levels of the Callaway PRA.
These levels are defined as follows: Level 1 determines core damage frequencies (CDFs) based on system analyses and human reliability assessments; Level 2 evaluates the impact of severe accident phenomena on radiological releases and quantifies the condition of the containment and the characteristics of the release of fission products to the environment. The Callaway models use PRA techniques to:
- Develop an understanding of severe accident behavior
- Understand the most likely severe accident consequences
- Gain a quantitative understanding of the overall probabilities of core damage and fission product releases
- Evaluate hardware and procedure changes to assess the overall probabilities of core damage and fission product releases.
The PRA was initiated in response to NRC Generic Letter 88-20 [1], which resulted in an IPE and IPEEE analysis. The current PRA model, Revision 4b, includes internal events and tornado induced loss of offsite power. Other events and initiators such as internal floods, fires, high winds, and seismic are evaluated in separate analyses and not directly combined with the internal events PRA model.
The PRA models used in this analysis to calculate severe accident risk are described in this section. The Level 1 PRA model (internal and external), the Level 2 PRA model, PRA model review history, and the Level 3 PRA model, are described in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4.
3.1 LEVEL 1 PRA MODEL 3.1.1 Internal Events 3.1.1.1 Description of Level 1 Internal Events PRA Model The original Callaway PRA was developed to satisfy NRC's Generic Letter 88-20 requirement that each licensee perform an IPE to search for plant-specific severe accident vulnerabilities.
Results of the Callaway PRA were submitted to the NRC, pursuant to this requirement, in September of 1992. The NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER) on the Callaway IPE submittal was issued in May 1996. Since completion of the Callaway IPE (PRA), the model has been used to support numerous plant programs.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives The Callaway internal events CDF is calculated to be 1.66E-05/year (Table 3-1) when ISLOCA is included in the evaluation (ISLOCA is not normally calculated as an event type in the Level 1 model). The Callaway PRA was used to generate a list of basic events sorted according to their risk reduction worth (RRW) values as related to CDF. The top events in this list are those events that would provide the greatest reduction in the Callaway CDF if the failure probability were set to zero. The events were reviewed down to the 1.005 level, which corresponds to about a 0.5 percent change in the CDF given 100 percent reliability of the event. Table 3-2 documents the disposition of each basic event in the Callaway PRA with RRW values of 1.005 or greater. Basic events that do not represent failures to structures, systems, or components (SSCs) were not included in the list.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives First PRA Update The first update of the Callaway internal events PRA was completed in February 1999. The primary purpose of this revision to the internal events PRA was to factor plant physical and data changes into the PRA model, such that fidelity between the PRA model and the as-built, as operated plant was maintained. Following are noteworthy changes made to the PRA model.
- The internal flooding analysis was revised.
- Valves BGHV8357A and B, involved in the RCP seal injection function, were changed from solenoid-operated valves to motor-operated valves.
- In the RCP seal injection function, the positive displacement charging pump (PDP) was replaced with a centrifugal charging pump, i.e., the Normal Charging Pump (NCP). The NCP is not dependent on separate cooling systems. The NCP provided for additional mitigation capability following a loss of all service water or loss of all component cooling water initiating event.
- The possibility that the standby train of ESW is drained for maintenance was added to the model. In this configuration, the affected ESW heat loads cannot be cooled by non-safety service water.
- A recovery event was added for valve EFHV59.
- Logic for re-start of CCW pump train A was added to the model.
- A recovery event was added for valve EFHV52.
- A test/maintenance event was added to the model for the safety injection accumulators.
- Start logic for the emergency diesel-generator fuel oil transfer pumps was changed in the model to reflect a plant modification.
- System modeling was added to reflect a plant modification that added a swing battery charger to each train of 125 VDC power.
- System modeling was changed to require two (2) atmospheric steam dumps (ASDs), for cooldown and depressurization, as opposed to one (1) ASD.
- Certain initiating event frequencies were updated.
- Test/maintenance unavailabilities were updated.
The CDF generated via quantification of the First PRA Update was 3.96E-5 per year. The impact of the individual changes made to the PRA, above, was not determined.
Second PRA Update The Second PRA Update was completed in October 2000. The purpose of this update was to address findings stemming from a self-assessment, which was conducted prior to a Westinghouse Owners Group (WOG) PRA peer review. Following are noteworthy changes made to the internal events PRA in the Second PRA Update.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.1.2 External Events 3.1.2.1 Internal Fires Risk Analysis For the IPEEE, Callaway used the EPRI FIVE methodology. The assumptions and screening criteria used in implementing the FIVE methodology for Callaway are discussed in the IPEEE submittal. The Callaway FIVE analysis has not been updated since the IPEEE. A fire PRA is under development to support transition of the Callaway fire protection program to NFPA 805 requirements; however, this fire model was not available for performance of the SAMA analysis.
The preliminary results of the NFPA 805 fire PRA modeling show a CDF of 2.00E-5/yr. which was used in this analysis. This fire CDF is consistent with previous analysis results.
3.1.2.2 Seismic Events Risk Analysis For the IPEEE, Callaway used the EPRI seismic margins analysis (SMA) method. This analysis was transmitted to NRC in the IPEEE submittal. The latest estimate of the Callaway seismic contribution to CDF is 5.00E-6/yr. A 2010 NRC risk assessment relating to Generic Issue 199 estimated Callaway seismic core damage frequency at approximately 2E-6/yr using 2008 USGS seismic hazard curves and a weakest link model. Comparing this to the frequency employed in the SAMA analysis, it appears that Callaways 5E-6/yr seismic contribution to CDF is conservative relative to the NRC assessment under Generic Issue 199.
3.1.2.3 Other External Events Risk Analysis To address potential vulnerabilities from the effects of high winds, floods, and transportation and nearby facility accidents for the IPEEE, Callaway reviewed plant-specific hazard data and its licensing basis. Callaway also determined that there were no significant changes, relative to these sources of risk, since the Operating License was issued. The only risk impact from high winds is from tornado events. This risk is estimated to be 2.50E-5/yr. Conformance to the 1975 Standard Review Plan (SRP) was also assessed. Callaways assessment of these sources of external events risk has not been updated since the IPEEE.
The Callaway internal events PRA model does not include an analysis of internal flooding. The risk due to internal floods was analyzed in the Callaway IPE, but not included in the internal events PRA model. The IPE determined the contribution to CDF from internal flooding to be 9.14E-6/yr.
The Callaway IPEEE concluded that external flooding does not present a risk to the Callaway Plant. The Probable Maximum Flood for the Missouri River in the vicinity of the Callaway Plant is estimated to be 548 feet above mean sea level (msl). The Callaway Plant grade level is 840 feet above msl and is not impacted by river flooding on the Missouri River. Flooding due to intense local rainfall is estimated to result in local ponding to elevation 839.87 feet above msl.
This is 0.13 feet below plant grade and 0.63 feet below the safety-related facilities standard plant elevation.
3.1.2.4 Treatment of External Events in the SAMA Analysis The contributions of the external events initiators are summarized in Table 3-4:

SUMMARY

Internal Flooding 9.14E-06/yr.
Fire 2.00E-05/yr.
Seismic 5.00E-06/yr.
External CDF 5.91E-05/yr.
The method chosen to account for external events contributions in the SAMA analysis is to use a multiplier on the internal events results. This is simply the ratio of total CDF (including internal and external) to only internal CDF. This ratio is called the External Events multiplier and its value is calculated as follows:
EE Multiplier = (1.66E-05+5.91E-05) / (1.66E-05) = 4.57 3.2 LEVEL 2 PSA MODEL CHANGES SINCE IPE SUBMITTAL The full Level 2 analysis, performed for the IPE and addressed in the IPE submittal, was used, in 2000, for development of a large early release frequency (LERF) model. The driver for this effort was that LERF was the only Level 2-related metric used in most risk-informed applications. In 2002, the LERF model was updated to reflect the internal events PRA Second Update.
The Level 2 PRA model was updated in 2011. As part of the update, the model:
- includes containment bypass events, containment isolation failures, early containment failure modes, induced steam generator tube ruptures, and late containment failure modes
- applies plant damage state definitions to the Level 1 accident sequences consistent with the updated Level 2 analysis structure and incorporates a realistic, plant-specific analysis of significant containment challenges
- addresses dependencies between Level 1 and Level 2 basic events
- models the probability of RCS hot leg or surge line failure during high-pressure core damage scenarios
- considers whether additional credit for scrubbing of fission products may affect the significant contributors to LERF
- groups accident progression sequences into release categories based on the containment event tree end states and calculates the frequency of each release category and the release characteristics (timing and magnitude) for each release category Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-22
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives
- performs LERF calculations including uncertainty and sensitivity studies as appropriate
- reviews significant large early release accident progression sequences for reasonableness and determines if credit for repair, operation in adverse environments, or operation after containment failure may reduce LERF.
Large early release frequencies, generated with the initial and updated LERF models, are provided in Table 3-5.

Updated full Level 2 Model (used 4B Level 1 4/2011 2.73E-6 model)
There were no changes to major modeling assumptions, containment event tree structure, accident progression, source term calculations or other Level 2 attributes, used in the IPE Level 2 analysis, when developing the initial and updated models.
3.2.1. Level 1 to Level 2 Interface Plant damage states and their representative Level 1 accident scenarios provide an interface between the Level 1 and Level 2 analyses. Each Level 1 accident sequence that leads to core damage consists of a unique combination of an initiating event followed by the success or failure of various plant systems (including operator actions). Due to the large number of accident sequences created by the Level 1 PRA, the Level 1 sequences that result in core damage can be grouped into plant damage state (or accident class) bins. Each bin collects all of those sequences for which the progression of core damage, the release of fission products from the fuel, the status of the containment and its safeguards systems, and the potential for mitigating the potential radiological source terms are similar. The detailed containment event tree then analyzes each plant damage state bin as a group.
Plant damage state bins can be used as the entry states to the containment event tree quantification (similar to initiating events for the Level 1 PRA), or can be used to direct sequences onto specific containment event tree branches. The plant damage state (PDS) bins are characterized by the status of containment bypass due to SGTR or ISLOCA, the status of offsite/emergency power, reactor coolant system pressure, and the status of water in the reactor cavity.
The definition of plant damage states incorporates information from the outcome of the Level 1 analysis that is important to the determination of containment response and the release of radioactive materials into the environment.
Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-23
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives The modeling approach for the current revision of the Level 2 PRA uses the WinNUPRA software package, which allows the incorporation of complete Level 1 results information (i.e.,
cutsets) into the Level 2 PRA model. This permits the somewhat artificial boundary between the Level 1 event trees and the containment event tree that exists in some Level 2 analyses to be eliminated from this analysis. Safety functions that may have been modeled in separate bridge trees can also be directly incorporated into the WinNUPRA model. That is, active systems such as containment coolers and containment spray are modeled in the Level 2 analysis alongside the Level 2 phenomenological events in order to accurately capture system dependencies such as actuation signals, electrical power, and cooling water.
Along with containment systems performance, the containment event trees (CETs) consider the influence that physical and chemical processes have on the integrity of the containment and on the release of fission products once core damage has occurred. The important physical conditions in the RCS and the containment include the pressure inside the reactor vessel at the onset of core damage, whether the reactor cavity is flooded, and the availability of cooling on the secondary side of the steam generators.
In this study, the RCS pressure identified in the definition of PDSs is that which occurs at the onset of core damage. Events that could influence the change in pressure after the onset of core damage but prior to vessel breach are addressed in the CETs. The two most important effects of high pressure for a Level 2 PRA are challenges to the steam generator tubes and direct containment heating. Because of this, three RCS pressure level categories are considered in the PRA: high, medium, or low. Pressure level assignment was based on the accident initiators (e.g., medium and large LOCAs result in low pressure) and the availability of feedwater (which results in pressure low enough to alleviate steam generator tube challenges, but has slightly different effects on accident progression - categorized as medium pressure). In general, either a medium/large LOCA, depressurization through the PORVs, or hot leg creep rupture is required to reach low pressure. Smaller LOCAs and transients with steam generators being fed are considered to be at medium pressure at the time of core damage. Without secondary side cooling, smaller LOCAs and transients are modeled as high pressure scenarios.
The presence of water in the reactor cavity is important to containment response because the interaction of this water with hot core debris can affect the immediate containment response at the time of vessel breach and the long-term cooling of core debris. Water in the reactor cavity at the time of vessel breach is an important issue for containment response due to its effect on hydrogen generation, the possibility of steam explosion, and quenching of debris.
Because of the way individual sequences are processed through WinNUPRA using unique house event files, sequences with a loss of offsite power or a station blackout must be identified in order to carry those house event settings through the Level 2 analysis. Identification of power status as a plant damage state parameter ensures that dependencies between the Level 1 and Level 2 analyses are properly captured.
Initiating events that bypass containment are treated separately in the Level 2 CET. As mentioned in the discussion of top events, containment bypass is identified by ISLOCA and SGTR events.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.2.2 Plant Damage State Classifications
- Containment Bypass
- B: Bypass BI: Bypass due to ISLOCA BT: Bypass due to tube rupture
- Status of Electric Power
- O: Loss of Offsite Power
- S: Station Blackout
- RCS Pressure
- H: High Pressure (sequences without RCS leakage or SG cooling)
- M: Medium Pressure (sequences without RCS leakage, but with SG cooling)
- L: Low Pressure (sequences that depressurize due to significant RCS leakage)
- Reactor Cavity
- W: Wet cavity (due to injection of RWST during Level 1)
- D: Dry cavity The PDS is therefore a two or three character code that defines the important sequence characteristics for the Level 2 analysis. The assignment of each individual Level 1 sequence is documented in Appendix B. In addition to the general PDS assignment, each PDS is supplemented with additional characters to differentiate the house event file to be used during quantification. This results in a total PDS code up to five characters in length. For example, sequence number 2 from the TAT1 Level 1 event tree, TAT1S02 is assigned to plant damage state OHDTA: O for Loss of Offsite Power, H for high pressure, D for dry reactor cavity, and TA for house settings file HSE-T1.
The Callaway PRA was used to generate a list of basic events sorted according to their RRW values as related to LERF and Large Late Release. The top events in this list are those events that would provide the greatest reduction in the Callaway LERF and Large Late Release if the failure probability were set to zero. The events were reviewed down to the 1.005 level, which corresponds to about a 0.5 percent change in the LERF/Large Late Release given 100 percent reliability of the event. Table 3-6 documents the disposition of each basic event in the Callaway PRA with RRW values of 1.005 or greater as related to LERF. Table 3-7 documents the disposition of each basic event in the Callaway PRA with RRW values of 1.005 or greater as related to Late releases. Basic events that do not represent SSC failures were not included in the list.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.3 MODEL REVIEW
SUMMARY
Discussion of Reviews Conducted on the Callaway PRA Since the IPE As discussed above, the Callaway internal events PRA has been updated a number of times, since the IPE, to maintain fidelity between the plant and the PRA model, and to make improvements to the model. Updates to the PRA are documented in calculation notes, revisions and addenda, which are each independently reviewed by a qualified individual.
The Callaway PRA has undergone a number of in-house, peer and other reviews since the IPE, including the following:
- The WOG reviewed results from the Callaway PRA as part of a PRA cross-comparison performed for member plants to identify outlier PRA results prior to MSPI implementation.
- In 2006, Scientech performed a review of the Callaway PRA against the Supporting Requirements for Capability Category II of Reference 27.
- Since 2007, a number of risk-informed license amendments have been submitted to and approved by NRC for Callaway. These have included a one-time per train ESW Completion Time extension, a containment ILRT extension and a BOP ESFAS Completion Time extension. In addition, Callaway recently submitted a license amendment request for Technical Specification Initiative 5b, the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. For each of these risk-informed license amendment requests, Ameren submitted, and NRC staff reviewed, information to demonstrate technical adequacy of the Callaway PRA.
Results of the WOG Peer Review As noted above, the WOG conducted a peer review of the Callaway internal events PRA in October 2000. This review applied a grading system to the PRA elements, as follows:
Grade 1 - supports assessment of plant vulnerabilities Grade 2 - supports risk ranking applications Grade 3 - supports risk significance evaluations with deterministic input Grade 4 - provides primary basis for application.
The WOG review deemed all of the Callaway PRA elements to be Grade 3 (or contingent Grade 3), except for the HRA element, which was deemed to be Grade 2. The HRA has since been re-performed by Scientech to address the WOG peer review findings.
In addition, all but five significance-level A (expected impact to be significantly non-conservative) and B (expected impact to be non-conservative but small) Facts/Observations (F&Os) generated during the WOG peer review have been addressed in the PRA model used for the SAMA analysis. The open F&Os, and an assessment of their impact on this application, are summarized in Table 3-8.

Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-33
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives The MELCOR Accident Consequence Code System (MACCS2) Version 1.13 was used to perform the calculations of the off-site consequences of a severe accident. This code is documented in NUREG/CR-6613 [22], Code Manual for MACCS2: Volumes 1 and 2.
Plant-specific release data included the time-dependent nuclide distribution of releases and release frequencies. The behavior of the population during a release (evacuation parameters) was based on plant and site-specific set points. These data were used in combination with site-specific meteorology to simulate the probability distribution of impact risks (both exposures and economic effects) to the surrounding 50-mile radius population as a result of the release accident sequences at Callaway.
The following sections describe input data for the MACCS2 analysis tool. The analyses are provided in References 24 and 25.
3.4.1 Population Distribution The SECPOP2000 code, documented in NUREG/CR-6525 [26], is one means of calculating most input data required for a MACCS2 SITE file. SECPOP2000 can utilize 1990 or 2000 census population data, and associated county economic data. For the Callaway analysis, the SECPOP2000 code was utilized to develop initial residential population estimates for each spatial element within the 50 mile region based on year 2000 census data. Transient population data was added for spatial elements within the 10-mile radius based on the Callaway evacuation time estimate study. The population data was projected to year 2044 using county growth estimates based on Missouri Office of Administration projections for 2030 [25].
Tables 3-9 and 3-10 identify the year 2044 projected population distribution. Data choices are consistent with industry guidance provided in NEI 05-01 [19].

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.4.2 Economic Data MACCS2 requires certain site specific economic data (fraction of land devoted to farming, annual farm sales, fraction of farm sales resulting from dairy production, and property value of farm and non-farm land) for each of the 160 spatial elements. The site specific base case values are calculated using the economic data from the 2007 U.S. Department of Agriculture and from other data sources, such as the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Bureau of Economic Analysis, updated to May 2010 values using the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The calculation approach documented in NUREG/CR-6525 (SECPOP2000) was utilized to develop the regional economic data inputs, but the SECPOP2000 code was not utilized for this purpose because the embedded economic data files contain older data (i.e., 1997 U.S. Department of Agriculture).
In addition to these site specific values, generic economic data are utilized by MACCS2 to address costs associated with per diem living expenses (applied to owners of interdicted properties and relocated populations), relocation costs (for owners of interdicted properties),
and decontamination costs. For the Callaway base case, these generic costs are based on values used in the NUREG-1150 studies (as documented in the NUREG/CR-4551 series of reports), updated to May 2010 using the CPI (Table 3-11).

3.4.3 Nuclide Release Core inventory represents end-of-cycle values for Callaway operating at 3565 MWth (current licensed value). The estimated core inventory reflects the current and anticipated fuel management / burnup during the license renewal period. Inventory values are provided in Table 3-12. Source term release fractions and other release data are based on plant specific MAAP simulations. Releases are modeled to occur at mid-height of the containment, consistent with NEI 05-01 guidance. Three plumes are modeled as presented in Table 3-13. The NRC has found the use of MAAP reasonable and appropriate for the purposes of SAMA analysis.
Opponents in other proceedings have suggested that the source terms in NUREG-1465 should be used. However, the NUREG-1465 source term only addresses the release of radionuclides into containment. Releases into containment and releases into the environment are very different events, with significant differences in sequence progression, release pathways, and fission product deposition and removal mechanisms. Additionally, use of plant specific data (when available) is preferred to generic data. Thus, use of the NUREG-1465 source terms would be inappropriate.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 3.4.4 Emergency Response A reactor trip signal begins each evaluated accident sequence. A General Emergency is declared when plant conditions degrade to the point where it is judged that there is a credible risk to the public. Therefore, the timing of the General Emergency declaration is sequence specific and declaration ranges from 1 to 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> for the release sequences evaluated.
Evacuation parameters included in the file are based on the evacuation time estimate study for the Callaway Plant. Protective action parameters for the EARLY phase are based on the protective action guides (PAGs) specified in EPA-400. Data choices are consistent with guidance provided in NEI 05-01 [19]. In the modeling, 95% of the population is assumed to evacuate the 10 mile region of the emergency planning zone (EPZ) radially at an average speed of 2.14 meters/second, starting 105 minutes after the declaration of general emergency. The evacuation time estimate study presents evacuation times for normal and adverse weather conditions for an evacuation occurring in the daytime on a winter weekday. A daytime winter weekday evacuation was judged in the time estimate study to be conservative compared to other potential time periods (e.g., nighttime, summer, weekend). For the Level 3 analysis, the evacuation speed is time weighted average assuming normal weather conditions 90% of the time and adverse weather conditions 10% of the time.
Two evacuation sensitivity cases were performed. The first sensitivity case evaluated the impact of an increased delay time before evacuation begins (i.e., vehicles begin moving in the 10 mile region). For this sensitivity, the base case delay time of 105 minutes is doubled to 210 minutes. The increased delay time results in an increase in dose risk of about 2.4%. The second sensitivity case assessed the impact of evacuation speed assumptions by reducing the evacuation speed by one half, to 1.0 7 m/s (2.4 mph). The slower evacuation speed increases the dose risk by approximately 7%.
3.4.5 Meteorological Data Each year of meteorological data consists of 8,760 weather data sets of hourly recordings of wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric stability, and accumulated precipitation Site-specific weather data was obtained from the Callaway on-site meteorological monitoring system for years 2007 through 2009. MACCS2 does not permit missing data, so bad or missing data were filled in by using interpolation, substituting data from the previous or subsequent day, or using precipitation data from the Prairie Fork Conservation area (9.5 miles NNE). The 2008 data set was found to be the most complete (<0.1% data voids) and also result in the largest economic cost risk and dose risk compared to the 2007 and 2009 data sets. Because the MACCS2 code can only process one year of meteorological data at a time, the 2008 data was conservatively selected for the base case analysis.
Studies have shown that the Gaussian plume model (ATMOS) used in MACCS2 compares well against more complex variable trajectory transport and dispersion models. NUREG/CR-6853, Molenkamp et al., Comparison of Average Transport and Dispersion Among a Gaussian, a Two-Dimensional, and a Three-Dimensional Model (Oct. 2004) compared MACCS2 with two Gaussian puff models (RASCAL and RATCHET) developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and a state-of-the-art Lagrangian particle model (LODI) developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. These models were compared using one year of hourly-observed meteorological data from many weather sites in a large domain in the Midwest, referred to as the Southern Great Plains, centered on Oklahoma and Kansas. The study found Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-46
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives that [n]early all the annual average ring exposures and depositions and a great majority of the arc sector values for MACCS2, RASCAL, and RATCHET are within a factor of two of the corresponding ADAPT/LODI values. Indeed, the largest observed deviation between mean results produced by MACCS2 and LODI was 58%. In comparison, the largest observed deviation between RASCAL and LODI was 61%. When averaged over a series of radial arcs out to fifty miles, MACCS2 was within plus or minus 10% of the three dimensional model. The Midwest terrain and meteorological data used in this study is very representative of Callaway.
Similarly, a more recent comparison of MACCS2 against another Lagrangian puff model (CALMET, the meteorological processor in CALPUFF) using data from multiple meteorological stations showed that consideration of time and spatially variable wind fields would have less than a 4% impact on the SAMA analysis in the Pilgrim license renewal proceeding, notwithstanding the existence of a sea breeze phenomenon at that facility. Thus, MACCS2 appears well suited for estimating mean offsite consequences for use in SAMA analysis, and particularly appropriate for Callaway given the results of the Molenkamp study and the simple terrain in the vicinity of the plant.
3.5 SEVERE ACCIDENT RISK RESULTS Using the MACCS2 code, the dose and economic costs associated with a severe accident at Callaway were calculated for each of the years for which meteorological data was gathered.
This information is provided below in Table 3-14 and Table 3-15, respectively. The results for year 2008 were used since the 2008 data resulted in the highest cost/year.

The methodology used for this evaluation was based upon the NRCs guidance for the performance of cost-benefit analyses [15]. This guidance involves determining the net value for each SAMA according to the following formula:
Net Value = (APE + AOC + AOE + AOSC) - COE Where APE = present value of averted public exposure ($)
AOC = present value of averted offsite property damage costs ($)
AOE = present value of averted occupational exposure ($)
AOSC = present value of averted onsite costs ($)
COE = cost of enhancement ($).
If the net value of a SAMA is negative, the cost of implementing the SAMA is larger than the benefit associated with the SAMA and is not considered beneficial. The derivation of each of these costs is described in below.
The following specific values were used for various terms in the analyses:
Present Worth The present worth was determined by:

r Where:
r is the discount rate = 7% (assumed throughout these analyses) t is the duration of the license renewal = 20 years PW is the present worth of a string of annual payments = 10.76 Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-48
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives Dollars per rem The conversion factor used for assigning a monetary value to on-site and off-site exposures was $2,000/person-rem averted. This is consistent with the NRCs regulatory analysis guidelines presented in and used throughout NUREG/BR-0184, Reference 20.
On-site Person-rem per Accident The occupational exposure associated with severe accidents was assumed to be 23,300 person-rem/accident. This value includes a short-term component of 3,300 person-rem/accident and a long-term component of 20,000 person-rem/accident. These estimates are consistent with the best estimate values presented in Section 5.7.3 of Reference 15. In the cost/benefit analyses, the accident-related on-site exposures were calculated using the best estimate exposure components applied over the on-site cleanup period.
On-site Cleanup Period In the cost/benefit analyses, the accident-related on-site exposures were calculated over a 10-year cleanup period.
Present Worth On-site Cleanup Cost per Accident The estimated cleanup cost for severe accidents was assumed to be
$1.5E+09/accident (undiscounted). This value was derived by the NRC in Reference 15, Section 5.7.6.1, Cleanup and Decontamination. This cost is the sum of equal annual costs over a 10-year cleanup period. At a 7% discount rate, the present value of this stream of costs is $1.1E+09.
4.1 OFF-SITE EXPOSURE COST Accident-Related Off-Site Dose Costs Offsite doses were determined using the MACCS2 model developed for Callaway Plant. Costs associated with these doses were calculated using the following equation:

4.3 ON-SITE EXPOSURE COST Methods for calculating averted costs associated with onsite accident dose costs are as follows:
Immediate Doses (at time of accident and for immediate management of emergency)
For the case where the plant is in operation, the equations in Reference 15 can be expressed as:

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 4.4 ON-SITE ECONOMIC COST Methods for calculation of averted costs associated with accident-related on-site property damage are as follows:
Cleanup/Decontamination Reference 15 assumes a total cleanup/decontamination cost of $1.5E+9 as a reasonable estimate and this same value was adopted for these analyses. Considering a 10-year cleanup period, the present value of this cost is:
C 1 e rm PVCD = CD

$1.5E + 9 1 e
.07* 10 PVCD =
10 .07
PVCD = $1.079E + 9 This cost is integrated over the term of the proposed license extension as follows rt f 1 e U CD = PVCD r
Based upon the values previously assumed:
U CD = $1.079E + 9 [10.763]
U CD = $1.161E + 10 Replacement Power Costs Replacement power costs, U RP , are an additional contributor to onsite costs. These are calculated in accordance with NUREG/BR-0184, Section 5.6.7.2. 1 Since replacement power will be needed for that time period following a severe accident, for the remainder of the expected generating plant life, long-term power replacement calculations have been used. The calculations are based on the 910 MWe reference plant, and are appropriately scaled for the 1236 MWe Callaway Plant. The present value of replacement power is calculated as follows:
1 The section number for Section 5.6.7.2 apparently contains a typographical error. This section is a subsection of 5.7.6 and follows 5.7.6.1. However, the section number as it appears in the NUREG will be used in this document.

Where PV RP = Present value of the cost of replacement power for a single event.
tf = Analysis period (years).
r = Discount rate.
Ratepwr = Rated power of the unit The $1.2E+8 value has no intrinsic meaning but is a substitute for a string of non-constant replacement power costs that occur over the lifetime of a generic reactor after an event (from Reference 15). This equation was developed per NUREG/BR-0184 for discount rates between 5% and 10% only.
For discount rates between 1% and 5%, Reference 15 indicates that a linear interpolation is appropriate between present values of $1.2E+9 at 5% and $1.6E+9 at 1%. So for discount rates in this range the following equation was used to perform this linear interpolation.
[($1.6E + 9 ) - ($1.2E + 9 )] Ratepwr PVRP = ($1.6E + 9 ) - * [ rs - 1% ]
[5% - 1%] 910 MWe Where r s = Discount rate (small), between 1% and 5%.
Ratepwr = Rated power of the unit To account for the entire lifetime of the facility, U RP was then calculated from PV RP , as follows:
U RP =
( rt 1 e f )2 Where U RP = Present value of the cost of replacement power over the life of the facility.
Again, this equation is only applicable in the range of discount rates from 5% to 10%.
NUREG/BR-0184 states that for lower discount rates, linear interpolations for U RP are recommended between $1.9E+10 at 1% and $1.2E+10 at 5%. The following equation was used to perform this linear interpolation:
[($1.9E + 10 ) - ($1.2E + 10 )] Ratepwr U RP = ($1.9E + 10 ) - * [ rs - 1% ]
[5% - 1%] 910 MWe Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-53
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives Where r s = Discount rate (small), between 1% and 5%.
Ratepwr = Rated power of the unit c) Repair and Refurbishment It is assumed that the plant would not be repaired/refurbished. Therefore, there is no contribution to averted onsite costs from this source.
d) Total Onsite Property Damage Costs The net present value of averted onsite damage costs is, therefore:
Where F = Annual frequency of the event.
4.5 TOTAL COST OF SEVERE ACCIDENT RISK / MAXIMUM BENEFIT Cost/benefit evaluation of the maximum benefit is baseline risk of the plant converted dollars by summing the contributors to cost.
Maximum Benefit Value = (APE + AOC + AOE + AOSC) where APE = present value of averted public exposure ($),
AOC = present value of averted offsite property damage costs ($),
AOE = present value of averted occupational exposure ($),
AOSC = present value of averted onsite costs ($)
For Callaway Plant, based on the internal events PRA this value is $698,101 as shown in Table 4-1.
Table 4-1. Contributions to Maximum Averted Cost Risk Parameter Present Dollar Value ($)
Averted Public Exposure $98,930 Averted offsite costs $223,382 Averted occupational exposure $6300 Averted onsite costs $369,549 Total (Maximum Averted Cost Risk - MACR) $698,161 This internal events MACR is multiplied by 4.57 to account for external event and internal flooding contributions not included in the internal events PRA (Section 3.1.2.4). The resulting modified MACR is $3,192,773. This value was used for the SAMA screening and sensitivity analyses.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 5.0 SAMA IDENTIFICATION A list of SAMA candidates was developed by reviewing the major contributors to CDF and population dose based on the plant-specific risk assessment and the standard pressurized water reactor (PWR) list of enhancements from Reference 19 (NEI 05-01). Other recent license renewal applications (including Wolf Creek) were also reviewed to identify any applicable SAMA items for consideration. This section discusses the SAMA selection process and its results.
5.1 PRA IMPORTANCE The top core damage sequences and the components/systems having the greatest potential for risk reduction were examined to determine whether additional SAMAs could be identified from these sources.
Use of Importance Measures RRW of the basic events in the baseline model was used to identify those basic events that could have a significant potential for reducing risk. Basic Events with RRW >1.02 were identified as the most important. The basic events were reviewed to ensure that each basic event on the importance lists is covered by an existing SAMA item or added to the list if not.
5.2 PLANT IPE The Callaway Plant PRA identified no potential vulnerabilities. However, a number of plant modifications and procedure changes to reduce risk were identified. The Callaway Plant potential enhancements are listed in Table 5-1.
5.3 PLANT IPEEE Potential improvements to reduce seismic risk and risk from other external events were evaluated in the Callaway Plant IPEEE. These items are included in Table 5-1.
5.4 INDUSTRY SAMA CANDIDATES The generic PWR enhancement list from Table 14 of Reference 19 was included in the list of Phase I SAMA candidates to assure adequate consideration of potential enhancements identified by other industry studies.
5.5 PLANT STAFF INPUT TO SAMA CANDIDATES The Callaway plant staff provided plant specific items that were included in the evaluation.
These are identified in the list of SAMA candidates by their source.
5.6 LIST OF PHASE I SAMA CANDIDATES Table 5-1 provides the combined list of potential SAMA candidates considered in the Callaway Plant SAMA analysis. From this table it can be seen that 171 SAMA candidates were identified for consideration.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 6.0 PHASE I ANALYSIS A preliminary screening of the complete list of SAMA candidates was performed to limit the number of SAMAs for which detailed analysis in Phase II was necessary. The screening criteria used in the Phase I analysis are described below.
- Screening Criterion A - Not Applicable: If a SAMA candidate did not apply to the Callaway Unit 1 plant design, it was not retained.
- Screening Criterion B - Already Implemented or Intent Met: If a SAMA candidate had already been implemented at the Callaway Plant or its intended benefit already achieved by other means, it was not retained.
- Screening Criterion C - Combined: If a SAMA candidate was similar in nature and could be combined with another SAMA candidate to develop a more comprehensive or plant-specific SAMA candidate, only the combined SAMA candidate was retained.
- Screening Criterion D - Excessive Implementation Cost: If a SAMA required extensive changes that will obviously exceed the maximum benefit (Section 4.5), even without an implementation cost estimate, it was not retained.
- Screening Criterion E - Very Low Benefit: If a SAMA from an industry document was related to a non-risk significant system for which change in reliability is known to have negligible impact on the risk profile, it was not retained. (No SAMAs were screened using this criterion.)
Table 6-1 presents the list of Phase I SAMA candidates and provides the disposition of each candidate along with the applicable screening criterion associated with each candidate. Those candidates that have not been screened by application of these criteria are evaluated further in the Phase II analysis (Section 7). It can be seen from this table that 107 SAMAs were screened from the analysis during Phase 1 and that 64 SAMAs passed into the next phase of the analysis.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 7.0 PHASE II SAMA ANALYSIS A cost-benefit analysis was performed on each of the SAMA candidates remaining after the Phase I screening. The benefit of a SAMA candidate is the difference between the baseline cost of severe accident risk (maximum benefit from Section 4.5) and the cost of severe accident risk with the SAMA implemented (Section 7.1). The cost figure used is the estimated cost to implement the specific SAMA. If the estimated cost of implementation exceeds the benefit of implementation, the SAMA is not cost-beneficial.
7.1 SAMA BENEFIT 7.1.1 Severe Accident Risk with SAMA Implemented Bounding analyses were used to determine the change in risk following implementation of SAMA candidates or groups of similar SAMA candidates. For each analysis case, the Level 1 internal events or Level 2 PRA models were altered to conservatively consider implementation of the SAMA candidate(s). Then, severe accident risk measures were calculated using the same procedure used for the baseline case described in Section 3. The changes made to the PRA models for each analysis case are described in the annex, Section 11.
Bounding analyses are exemplified by the following:
LBLOCA This analysis case was used to evaluate the change in plant risk profile that would be achieved if a digital large break LOCA protection system was installed. Although the proposed change would not completely eliminate the potential for a large break LOCA, a bounding benefit was estimated by removing the large break LOCA initiating event. This analysis case was used to model the benefit of SAMAs that deal with mitigation of large LOCA events.
DCPWR This analysis case was used to evaluate plant modifications that would increase the availability of Class 1E DC power (e.g., increased battery capacity or the installation of a diesel-powered generator that would effectively increase battery capacity). Although the proposed SAMAs would not completely eliminate the potential failure, a bounding benefit was estimated by removing the battery discharge events and battery failure events. This analysis case was used to model the benefit of SAMAs that deal with mitigation of station blackout events regarding extending the availability of DC power.
The severe accident risk measures were obtained for each analysis case by modifying the baseline model in a simple manner to capture the effect of implementation of the SAMA in a bounding manner. Bounding analyses are very conservative and result in overestimation of the benefit of the candidate analyzed. However, if this bounding assessment yields a benefit that is smaller than the cost of implementation, then the effort involved in refining the PRA modeling approach for the SAMA would be unnecessary because it would only yield a lower benefit result. If the benefit is greater than the cost when modeled in this bounding approach, it is necessary to refine the PRA model of the SAMA to remove the excess conservatism. As a result of this modeling approach, models representing the Phase II SAMAs will not all be at the Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-86
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives same level of detail and if any are implemented, the PRA result after implementation of the final installed design will differ from the screening-type analyses done during this evaluation.
7.1.2 Cost of Severe Accident Risk with SAMA Implemented Using the risk measures determined as described in Section 7.1.1, severe accident impacts in four areas (offsite exposure cost, off-site economic cost, on-site exposure cost, and on-site economic cost) were calculated using the same procedure used for the baseline case described in Section 4. As in Section 4.5, the severe accident impacts were summed to estimate the total cost of severe accident risk with the SAMA implemented.
7.1.3 SAMA Benefit Calculation The respective SAMA benefit was calculated by subtracting the total cost of severe accident risk with the SAMA implemented from the baseline cost of severe accident risk (maximum benefit from Section 4.5). The estimated benefit for each SAMA candidate is listed in Table 7-1. The calculation of the benefit is performed using an Excel spreadsheet.
7.2 COST OF SAMA IMPLEMENTATION The final step in the evaluation of the SAMAs is estimating the cost of implementation for comparison with the benefit. For the purpose of this analysis the Callaway staff has estimated that the cost of making a change to a procedure and for conducting the necessary training on a procedure change is expected to exceed $15,000. Similarly, the minimum cost associated with development and implementation of an integrated hardware modification package (including post-implementation costs, e.g. training) is expected to exceed $100,000. These values were used for initial comparison with the benefit of SAMAs.
The benefits resulting from the bounding estimates presented in the benefit analysis are in some cases rather low. In those cases for which the benefits are so low that it is obvious that the implementation costs would exceed the benefit, a detailed cost estimate was not warranted.
Plant staff judgment is applied in assessing whether the benefit approaches the expected implementation costs in many cases.
Plant staff judgment was obtained from an independent, expert panel consisting of senior staff members from the PRA group, the design group, operations and license renewal. This panel reviewed the benefit calculation results and, based upon their experience with developing and implementing modifications at the plant, judged whether a modification could be made to the plant that would be cost beneficial in comparison with the calculated benefit. The purpose of this approach was to minimize the effort expended on detailed cost estimation. The cost estimations provided by the expert panel are included in Table 7-1 along with the conclusions reached for each SAMA evaluated for cost/benefit.
The results of the sensitivity analyses are presented in Section 8. The sensitivity analyses did not identify any cost-benefit conclusions affected by uncertainties.

Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives 8.0 SENSITIVITY ANALYSES The purpose of performing sensitivity analyses is to examine the impact of analysis assumptions on the results of the SAMA evaluation. This section identifies several sensitivities that can be considered in SAMA analysis (Reference 19, NEI 05-01) and discusses the sensitivity as is applies to Callaway Plant and the impact of the sensitivity on the results of the Phase II SAMA analysis at Callaway.
Unless it was otherwise noted, it is assumed in these sensitivity analyses that sufficient margin existed in the maximum benefit estimation that the Phase I screening would not have to be repeated in the sensitivity analyses.
8.1 PLANT MODIFICATIONS There are no plant modifications that are currently pending that would be expected to impact the results of this SAMA evaluation.
8.2 UNCERTAINTY Since the inputs to PRA cannot be known with complete certainty, there is possibility that the actual plant risk is greater than the point estimate values used in the evaluation of the SAMA described in the previous sections. To consider this uncertainty, a sensitivity analysis was performed in which an uncertainty factor was applied to the frequencies calculated by the PRA and the subsequent benefits were calculated based upon the point estimate risk values multiplied by this uncertainty factor. The uncertainty factor applied is the ratio of the 95th percentile value of the CDF from the PRA uncertainty analysis to the mean value of the CDF.
For Callaway the 95th percentile value of the CDF is 3.50E-5/yr; therefore, uncertainty factor is 2.11. Table 8-1 provides the benefit results from each of the sensitivities for each of the SAMA cases evaluated.
8.3 PEER REVIEW FACTS/OBSERVATIONS The model used in this SAMA analysis includes the resolution of the Facts-and-Observations (F&Os) identified during the PRA Peer Review. Therefore, no specific sensitivities were performed related to this issue.
8.4 EVACUATION SPEED Two evacuation sensitivity cases were performed to determine the impact of evacuation assumptions. The Callaway base case assumes a delay time of 105 minutes prior to evacuation to address public notification, trip time home after notification, and trip preparation time (e.g., loading vehicles) and an average evacuation speed of 2.14 meters/sec (4.8 mph).
Both values are based on data provided in the Callaway Evacuation Time Estimate study.
Two evacuation sensitivity cases were evaluated. The first sensitivity case evaluates the impact of an increased delay time before evacuation begins (i.e., vehicles begin moving in the 10 mile region). For this sensitivity, the base case delay time of 105 minutes is doubled to 210 minutes.
The increased delay time results in an increase in dose risk of about 2.4%. An increase in dose Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-95
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives risk is generally expected because more individuals would be expected be exposed to the release due to their later departure (i.e., they failed to out run the release).
The second sensitivity case assesses the impact of evacuation speed assumptions by reducing the evacuation speed by one half, to 1.07 m/s (2.4 mph). The slower evacuation speed increases the dose risk by approximately 7%. An increase in dose risk is generally expected because individuals will tend to be subject to the plumes for a longer period of time when traveling slower. For either evacuation speed, the plumes can be viewed as tending to blow over the evacuees (average wind speed of 7 mph) as the evacuees progress through traffic.
8.5 REAL DISCOUNT RATE Calculation of severe accident impacts in the Callaway SAMA analysis was performed using a real discount rate of 7% (0.07/year) as recommended in Reference 15, NUREG/BR-0184. Use of both a 7% and 3% real discount rate in regulatory analysis is specified in Office of Management Budget (OMB) guidance (Reference 20) and in NUREG/BR-0058 (Reference 21).
Therefore, a sensitivity analysis was performed using a 3% real discount rate.
In this sensitivity analysis, the real discount rate in the Level 3 PRA model was changed to 3%
from 7% and the Phase II analysis was re-performed with the lower interest rate. The analysis was also performed at a realistic discount rate of 8.3%.
The results of this sensitivity analysis are presented in Table 8-1. This sensitivity analysis does not affect any decisions made regarding the SAMAs.
8.6 ANALYSIS PERIOD As described in Section 4, calculation of severe accident impacts involves an analysis period term, t f , which could have been defined as either the period of extended operation (20 years), or the years remaining until the end of facility life (from the time of the SAMA analysis to the end of the period of extended operation) (33 years).
The value used for this term was the period of extended operation (20 years). This sensitivity analysis was performed using the period from the time of the SAMA analysis to the end of the period of extended operation to determine if SAMAs would be potentially cost-beneficial if performed immediately.
In this sensitivity analysis, the analysis period in the calculation of severe accident risk was modified to 33 years and the Phase II analysis was re-performed with the revised analysis period. The cost of additional years of maintenance, surveillance, calibrations, and training were included appropriately in the cost estimates for SAMAs in this Phase II analysis.
The results of this sensitivity analysis are presented in Table 8-1. This sensitivity analysis does not affect any decisions made regarding the SAMAs.

11.0 ANNEX - PRA RUNS FOR SELECTED SAMA CASES This annex describes each of the SAMA evaluation cases. An evaluation case is an evaluation of plant risk using a plant PRA model that considers implementation of the evaluated SAMA.
The case-specific plant configuration is defined as the plant in its baseline configuration with the model modified to represent the plant after the implementation of a particular SAMA. As indicated in the main report, these model changes were performed in a manner expected to bound the change in risk that would actually be expected if the SAMA were implemented. This approach was taken because the actual designs for the SAMAs have not been developed.
Each analysis case is described in the following pages. Each case description contains a description of the physical change that the case represents along with a description of the SAMAs that are being evaluated by this specific case.
The PDS frequencies calculated as a result of the PRA model quantification for each SAMA case is presented in Table 11-1.
NOATWS This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all Anticipated Transient Without Scram (ATWS) events. For the purposes of the analysis, a single bounding analysis was performed which assumed that ATWS events do not occur.
NOSGTR This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) events. This allows evaluation of various possible improvements that could reduce the risk associated with SGTR events. For the purposes of this analysis, a single bounding analysis was performed which assumed that SGTR events do not occur.
INSTAIR This case is used to determine the benefit of replacing the air compressors. For the purposes of the analysis, a single bounding condition was performed, which assumed the station air systems do not fail.
Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-105
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives NOLOSP This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all Loss of Offsite Power (LOSP) events, both as the initiating event and subsequent to a different initiating event. This allows evaluation of various possible improvements that could reduce the risk associated with LOSP events. For the purposes of the analysis, a single bounding analysis was performed which assumed that LOSP events do not occur.
CCW01 This case is used to determine the benefit of improvement to the CCW system by assuming that CCW pumps do not fail.
FW01 Eliminate loss of feedwater initiating events. This case is used to determine the benefit of improvements to the feedwater and feedwater control systems.
NOSLB This case is used to determine the benefit of installing secondary side guard pipes to the Main Steam Isolation Valves (MSIVs). This would prevent secondary side depressurization should a Steam Line Break (SLB) occur upstream of the MSIVs. For the purposes of the analysis, a single bounding analysis was performed which assumed that no SLB inside containment events occur.
CHG01 Assume the charging pumps are not dependent on cooling water. This case is used to determine the benefit of removing the charging pumps dependency on cooling water.
SW01 Assume the service water pumps are not dependent on DC power. This case is used to determine the benefit of enhancing the DC control power to the service water pumps.
NOSBO This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all Station Blackout (SBO) events. This allows evaluation of possible improvements related to SBO sequences. For the purpose of the analysis, a single bounding analysis is performed that assumes the emergency AC power supplies do not fail.
LOCA05 Assume that piping system LOCAs do not occur. This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all LOCA events related to piping failure (no change to non-piping failure is considered).
Callaway Plant Unit 1 Environmental Report for License Renewal F-106
Attachment F Severe Accident Mitigation Alternatives NOSLOCA Assume small LOCA events do not occur. This case is used to determine the benefit of eliminating all small LOCA events.
