2.1.1.1  Specificat ion of LocationThe Watts Bar Nuclear Plant is located on a tract of approximately 1770 acres in Rhea County on the west bank of the Tennessee River at river mile 528. The site is approximately 1-1/4 miles south of the Watts Bar Dam and approximately 31 miles north-northeast of the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant.The 1770 acre reservation is owned by the United States and is in the custody of TVA. Also located within the reservation are the Watts Bar Dam and Hydro-Electric Plant, the Watts Bar Steam Plant, the TVA Central Maintenance Facility, and the Watts Bar Resort Area.The resort area buildings and improvements have been sold to private individuals and the associated land mass leased to the Watts Bar Village Corporation, Inc. Due to this sale and leasing arrangement no services are provided to the resort area from the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant.The location of each reactor is given below:
2.1.1.2  Site Area MapFigure 2.1-1 is a map of the TVA area showing the location of all power plants. Figure 2.1-2 shows the Watts Bar site location with respect to prominent geophysical and political features of the area. This map is used to correlate with the population distribution out to 50 miles. The population density within 10 miles is keyed to Figure 2.1-3. This map shows greater detail of the site area. Figures 2.1-4a and 2.1-4b are maps of the Watts Bar Site Area. The Watts Bar reservation boundary and the exclusion area boundary are boldly outlined. Details of the site and the plant structures may be found on Figure 2.1-5.LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE (degrees/minutes/seconds)UNIT 1  35

2.1-2GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY WATTS BARWBNP-102 2.1.1.3  Boundaries for Esta blishing Effluent LimitsThe boundary on which limits for the release of radioactive effluents are based is the site boundary shown in Figure 2.1-4b.
2.1.2  Exclusion Area Authority And ControlDue to the large size of the Watts Bar site, the exclusion area boundary is smaller than, and is completely within, the site boundary. The exclusion area is determined by a circle of radius 1200 meters centered on a point 20 feet from the north wall of the turbine building along the building centerline. The exclusion area boundary will be clearly marked on all access roads. The exclusion area is shown on Figure 2.1-4b.2.1.2.1  AuthorityAll of the land inside the exclusion area is owned by the United States and in the custody of TVA. TVA controls all activities within the reservation.2.1.2.2  Control of Activities Unrelated to Plant OperationThere will be no residences, unauthorized commercial operations, or recreational areas within the exclusion area. No public highways or railroads transverse the exclusion area. A portion of the Tennessee River does, however, cross the eastern portion of the exclusion area. This portion of the river is accessible for fishing, pleasure boating, and commercial transportation.2.1.2.3  Arrangements for Traffi c ControlArrangements have been made and formalized through the Tennessee Multi-jurisdictional Radiological Emergency Plan to establish traffic control responsibilities on the portion of the Tennessee river within the exclusion zone as follows: (a)Non-commercial traffic - Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA).(b)Commercial traffic - U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
2.1.2.4  Abandonment or Relocation of RoadsNo public roads cross the exclusion area.
2.1.3  Population DistributionHistorical and projected population information is contained in this section. Both resident and transient populations are included. For 2000, population was based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Census of Population, 2000, including block group, block, and census track data. Projections were based on county projections by Woods& Poole.Economic Analysis Division, Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, 1992. Subcounty population estimates were prepared using a constant share of the 1990 county total. County Census maps and 1:250,000 topographic maps were used to disegregate sub-county population data into the annular segments. 
 
GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY 2.1-3WATTS BARWBNP-102Considerations included municipal limits, topography, road system, land ownership (e.g., National Forest), and land use (e.g., strip mines).Transient population consists of two components - recreation visitation and school enrollments. Peak hour visitation to recreation facilities is based on the maximum capacity of the facility plus some overflow. School enrollments for 2008 are from the Tennessee Department of Education Report Card 2008 (http://www.state.tn.us/education/). Projected enrollments are based on projected population growth in the respective counties.
2.1.3.1  Populati on Within 10 MilesAbout 18,900 people lived within 10 miles of the Watts Bar site in 2000, with more than 75% of them between five and 10 miles from the site. Two small towns, Spring City and Decatur, which in 2007 had populations of 2,002 and 1,456 respectively, are located between five and 10 miles from the site. Decatur is south of the site, while Spring City is northwest and north-northwest. Most of the remainder of the area is sparsely populated, especially within five miles of the site. The pattern is expected to continue.Tables 2.1-1 through 2.1-7 show the estimated and projected population distribution within ten miles of the site for 2000, 2010, 2020, 2030,  2040, 2050, and 2060. Figure 2.1-3 shows the area within ten miles of th e site overlaid by circles and sixteen compass sectors.
2.1.3.2  Population Be tween 10 and 50 MilesThe area between 10 and 50 miles from the site lies mostly in the lower and middle portions of east Tennessee, with small areas in southwestern North Carolina and in northern Georgia. The population of this area is projected to increase by about 62%, or 660,000 persons, between 2000 and 2060. About 71% of this total increase is expected to be in the area between 30 and 50 miles from the site.The largest urban concentration between 10 and 50 miles is the city of Chattanooga, located to the southwest and south-southwest. This city had a population in 2007 of 169,884; about 80% of this population is located between 40 and 50 miles from the site, while the rest is located beyond 50 miles. The city of Knoxville is located to the east-northeast of the site and is slightly larger than Chattanooga. However, only a small share, less than 10 percent, of its  population of 183,546, is located between 40 and 50 miles of the site with the remainder beyond 50 miles.There are three smaller urban concentrations in this area with population greater than 20,000. The city of Oak Ridge, which had a 2007 population of 27,514, is located about 40 miles to the northeast. The twin cities of Alcoa and Maryville, which had a combined population in 2007 of about 35,300, are located between 45 to 50 miles to the east-northeast. Cleveland, with a 2007 population of 39,200, is located about 30 miles to the south. Most of the population growth is expected to occur around these and the larger population centers.
2.1-4GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY WATTS BARWBNP-102There are, in addition, a number of sm aller communities dispersed throughout the area, surrounded by low-density rural areas.Tables 2.1-8 through 2.1-14 contain the 2000, 2010, 2020, 2030, 2040,2050, and 2060 population distribution at various distances and directions from the site out to 50 miles. Figure 2.1-2 shows the area within 50 miles of the site overlaid by the circles and 16 compass sectors.
2.1.3.3  Transient PopulationTransient population consists of visitors to recreation sites and students in schools. There are no major active industrial facilities or other major employers in the vicinity of the plant.Recreation--Estimated and projected peak hour visitation to recreation facilities within 10 miles of the plant are contained in Tables 2.1-15 through 2.1-21. The visitation is based on the maximum capacity of facilities plus some overflow. Capacities are based on the TVA data base of recreation facilities in the area. There are no recreation facilities beyond 10 miles which are large enough to cause significant variations in the total population within any annular segment.Schools--Eight schools are currently located within ten miles of Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. In 2008, these schools served 4,155 students, distributed as shown in Table 2.1-22. Enrollments for 2008 are from the Tennessee Department of Education Report Card 2008 (http://www.state.tn.us/education/). Enrollments at these schools are projected based on county population projections by Woods & Poole.
2.1.3.4  Low Population ZoneThe low population zone (LPZ) distance as defined in 10 CFR 100 has been chosen to be three miles (4828 meters). The population of this area (2976 in 2010) and the population density (105 people per square mile in 2010) are both low. Population includes permanent residents (759) and transients (2217) estimates for 2010. Transients are "Peak Hour Recreation Visitors". In addition, this area is of such size that in the unlikely event of a serious accident there is a reasonable probability that appropriate measures could be taken to protect the health and safety of the residents. Specific provisions for the protection of this area are considered in the development of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant site emergency plan. The present and projected population figures for this area are included in Tables 2.1-1 through 2.1-14. Features of the area within the low population zone distances are shown on Figure 2.1-3.
2.1.3.5  Popul ation CenterThe nearest population center (as defined by 10 CFR 100) is Cleveland, Tennessee, which had a 2007 population of 39,200. Cleveland is located approximately 30 miles south of the Watts Bar site.
2.1.3.6  Population DensityCumulative population around the site out to 30 miles is plotted on Figures 2.1-20 and 2.1-21 for 2010 and 2060 . Also plotted on Figure 2.1-20 is the cumulative population GEOGRAPHY AND DEMOGRAPHY 2.1-5WATTS BARWBNP-102that would result from a uniform population density of 500 persons per square mile. Figure 2.1-21 contains a similar plot except that it is for a uniform density of 1,000 persons per square mile. For all distances for both years the population around the site is significantly smaller than that based on the uniform population density. REFERENCESNone.

The only significant nearby industrial facility is the Watts Bar Steam Plant.The nearest land transportation route is State Route 68, about one mile north of the Site. The Tennessee River is navigable past the site.A main line of the CNO&TP (Norfolk Southern Corporation) is located approximately 7 miles west of the site. A TVA railroad spur track connects with this main line and serves the Watts Bar Steam Plant and Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The spur has fallen into disuse and would need to be repaired prior to use.No other significant industrial land use, military facilities, or transportation routes are in the vicinity of the nuclear plant.
 
====2.2.2 Descriptions====
2.2.2.1  Description of FacilitiesThe Watts Bar Steam Plant is a coal-fired electric generating facility with a total capacity of 240,000 kW which during normal operation has about 100 employees. The plant is not currently operating, but could be reactivated in the future.The Tennessee River is a major barge route in which a 9-foot navigation channel is maintained.2.2.2.2  Description of Products and MaterialsTable 2.2-1 shows the total amount of certain hazardous materials shipped past the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant from 2002 to 2007 on a yearly basis. Total traffic past the site was 670,716 tons in 2008 compared to 1,294,959 tons in 1990 and to 760,000 tons in 1975. Traffic on the TVA railroad spur consisted of heavy components for the nuclear plant. If Watts Bar Steam Plant were reactivated, the spur would also be used for the delivery of heavy components and coal to it.
2.2.2.3  PipelinesNo pipelines carrying petroleum products are located in the vicinity of the nuclear plant.
2.2.2.4  WaterwaysThe Watts Bar Nuclear Plant site is located on a 9-foot navigable channel on Chickamauga Reservoir. Its intake structure is located approximately two miles downstream of Watts Bar Lock and Dam. Watts Bar lock is located on the left bank of the Tennessee River with dimensions of 60' wide x 360' long. Towboat sizes vary from 1500 to 1800 horsepower for this section of the Tennessee River (Chattanooga to
 
2.2-2NEARBY INDUSTRIAL, TRANSPORTATION, AND MILITARY FACILITIES WATTS BARWBNP-102Knoxville). The most common type barge using the water way is the 35'x 195' jumbo barge with 1,500 ton capacity. There were also numerous liquid cargo (tank) barges of varying size with capacity to 3,000 tons.
2.2.2.5  Airports No airports are located within 10 miles of the site. Mark Anton airport is the nearest, 11 to 12 miles southwest of the site. Its longest runway is 4,500 feet and is hard surfaced. It has no commercial facilities. Lovell Field about 45 miles south-southwest is the nearest airfield with commercial facilities. The annual number of movements per year is about 62,000 for Lovell Field and about 4,000 at Mark Anton of which 1,300 are student pilots executing "touch and go's".Figures 2.2-1 and 2.2-2 show the plant in relation to civilian and military airways, respectively. Traffic on airway V51 totals fewer than 2,000 flights per year based on 2008 data.2.2.2.6  Projections of Industrial GrowthWithin five miles of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant are two major potential industrial sites. Three-to-five miles southwest of the plant is a 3,000 acre tract and about 3 miles north is a 200 acre tract. The 3,000 acre site is currently under the ownership of the Mead Corporation. A site impact analysis for the possible development of a paper plant has been performed on the site. However, the Mead Corporation has withdrawn its application to build the plant and there are no immediate or future plans for development. The 200 acre tract is still undeveloped and there are no immediate or future plans for development of the site.2.2.3  Evaluation of Potential AccidentsNone of the activities being performed in the vicinity of the site are considered to be a potential hazard to the plant.A study of the products and materials transported past the site by barge reveals that no potential explosion hazard exists. The worst potential condition for onsite essential safety features other than the intake pumping station arising from an accident involving the products transported near the site (coal, fuel oil, asphalt, tar and pitches) would be the generation of smoke by the burning of these products. The hazard to the Main Control Room from the generation of smoke from these products is covered in Section 6.4.4.2.Gasoline supply to Knoxville is via pipeline. As specified in Section 2.2.2.3, this pipeline is not in the vacinity of the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. As of 1974, with the pipeline in full operation, no future gasoline barge shipments past the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant site are expected. The potential for damage to the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant from a gasoline barge explosion is therefore negligible.Fuel oil is shipped by barge past the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant Site. In case of a fuel oil barge accident, fire and dense smoke may result. Neither fire or dense smoke will effect plant safety, however.
 
NEARBY INDUSTRIAL, TRANSPORTATION, AND MILITARY FACILITIES 2.2-3WATTS BARWBNP-102The intake pumping station is protected against fire by virtue of design and location. Pump suction is taken from the bottom of the channel. All pumps and essential cables and instruments are protected from fire by being enclosed within concrete walls. Also, the embayment is just downstream of the Watts Bar Dam, which is locked on the opposite side of the Tennessee River. Consequently, any oil released to the river would be swept by the current past the embayment that leads to the intake pumping station due to the fact that the embayment is located on the inside of a bend in the Tennessee River.Even if fuel oil from a spill should enter the embayment and reach the intake pumping station, the oil would have no significant effect on the water intake system or the systems it serves. Entry of oil in the intake is unlikely since the oil will float on water.
A concrete skimmer wall exists at the pumping station and the pumps take suction approximately 20 feet below the minimum normal water level. The pump suction would be approximately 10 feet below the water surface even in the event of failure of the downstream dam. Any oil that did enter the pumps would be highly diluted and in such a state would have a minor effect on system piping losses and heat exchanger capabilities.

Those used in a general way not specifically referenced are the following:  (1) U.S. Department of Commerce, Normal Weather Charts for the Northern Hemisphere, U. S. Weather Bureau, Technical Paper No. 21, October 1952, and (2) U.S. Department of Commerce, Climatic Atlas of the United States, Environmental Science Services Administration, Environmental Data Service, June 1968.
2.3.1.2  General ClimateThe Watts Bar site is in the eastern Tennessee portion of the southern Appalachian region. This area is dominated much of the year by the Azores-Bermuda anticyclonic circulation shown in the annual normal sea level pressure distribution (Figure 2.3-1).[1] This dominance is most pronounced in late summer and early fall and is accompanied by extended periods of fair weather and widespread atmospheric stagnation.
[2] In winter and early spring, the normal circulation becomes diffuse over the region as eastward moving migratory high- or low-pressure systems, identified with the mid-latitude westerly upper air circulation, bring alternately cold and warm air masses into the Watts Bar site area with resultant changes in wind, atmospheric stability, precipitation, and other meteorological elements. In the summer and early fall, the migratory systems are less frequent and less intense. Frequent incursions of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and occasionally from the Atlantic Ocean are experienced in the summer.The site is primarily influenced by cyclones from the Southwest and Gulf Coast that translate toward the Northeast U.S. Coast by passing along either the west side or the east side of the Appalachian chain and by cyclones from the Plains or Midwest that move up the Ohio Valley. Topography around the site strongly influences the local climate. Mountain ranges located both northwest and southeast of the site, which is in the upper Tennessee River Valley, are oriented generally northeast-southwest and rise 3,000 to 4,000 feet MSL and, in places, 5,000 to 6,000 feet MSL. The latter elevations are in the Great Smoky Mountains to the east and southeast. They provide an orographic barrier that reduces the low-level atmospheric moisture  from the Atlantic Ocean brought into the area by winds from the East. However, considerable low-level atmospheric moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is often brought into the area by winds from the south, southwest, or west.The predominant air masses affecting the site area may be described as interchangeably continental and maritime in the winter and spring, maritime in the summer, and continental in the fall. Temperature patterns generally conform to the seasonal trends typical of continental, humid subtropical climates. Precipitation is normally well distributed throughout the year, but monthly amounts are generally
 
2.3-2METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-102largest in the winter and early spring and smallest in the late summer and fall. The primary maximum occurs in March and is associated with cyclones passing through or near the region. A secondary maximum of precipitation occurs in July and is characteristically the result of diurnal thunderstorms occurring most frequently in the afternoon and evening. The minimum monthly precipitation normally occurs in October. Snow and sleet usually occur only during the period November through March and generally result from cold air pushing southward through the area against relatively warm, moist air.
2.3.1.3  Severe WeatherSevere storms are relatively infrequent in east Tennessee, being east of the area of major tornadic activity, south of nearly all storms producing blizzard conditions, and too far inland to be affected often by the remnants of intense tropical cyclones. Damage from such remnants of tropical cyclones is rare, occurring only about once every 18 years, and is generally restricted to flood effects from heavy rains.[3] The probability that a tornado will strike the Watts Bar site is low. During the period 1950-2009 (when climatological records are fairly complete) there were 38 tornadoes within 30 miles of the Watts Bar site, including 12 tornadoes F3/EF3 or greater [aa,bb]. The probability of a tornado striking the site can be calculated using the following equations according to NUREG/CR-4461, Rev. 2
[cc]. Using the principle of geometric probability described by H. C. S. Thom, [8] the probability of a tornado striking any point in the one degree latitude by one degree longitude square containing the plant site may be calculated. Thom's equations are the following:P = mean probability of a tornado striking a point in any year in a one-degree square. = mean path area of a tornado (mi 2)t = mean number of tornadoes per year.A  = area of one-degree latitude, one-degree longitude square = 3887 mi 2 for the one-degree square containing the Watts Bar site (84&deg;W to 85&deg;W by 35&deg;N to 36&deg;N).R  = mean recurrence interval for a tornado striking a point in the one- degree square (years).P zt A-----=(1)R 1 P----=(2)Z METEOROLOGY 2.3-3WATTS BARWBNP-102For z  = 2.8209 mi 2 (from H. C. S. Thom
[8]) and t  = 1.02 tornadoes per year (55 tornadoes from NUREG/CR-4461 divided by 54 years of record), the probability is 7.40 x 10-4 with a recurrence interval of  1351 years. For consideration in station blackout criteria, the annual expectation of tornadoes with winds exceeding 113 mph (F2/EF2 or greater) is 3.77 x 10
-4  per square mile (t = 0.52, based on 28 tornadoes F2 and above 54 years). Windstorms are relatively infrequent, but may occur several times a year. Strong winds are usually associated with thunderstorms that occur about 50 times per year based on records for Chattanooga and Knoxville (Table 2.3-1). Moderate and occasionally strong winds sometimes accompany migrating cyclones and air mass fronts. Wind records for Chattanooga exist for 1945-2009 (65 years)
[dd], for Knoxville during 1943-2009 (67 years)[ee], and for Watts Bar meteorological tower during 1973-2009 (37 years). The extreme wind speed cases have been converted to 3-second gust equivalents for comparison (Table 2.3-1A). The highest observed wind speeds (3-second equivalent) are 102 mph on March 24, 1947 at Chattanooga, 88 mph on July 15, 1961 at Knoxville, and 59 mph on March 25, 1975 at Watts Bar meteorological tower. During 1950-2009, winds > 50 knots (> 57 mph) were reported an average of 16.33 times per year for Rhea County (which contains Watts Bar Nuclear Plant) and the 6 surrounding counties[ff] combined (Table 2.3-1B).During 1950-2009, hail 3/4 inch in diameter or larger has been reported an average of 6.98 times per year for Rhea County and the 6 surrounding counties[ff] combined (Table 2.3-1B).The likelihood of hail (any size) for a specific location in the area is less than once per year, based on a 52-year record (1879-1930) at Chattanooga and a 60-year record (1871-1930) at Knoxville.
[gg]Annual lightning strike density is estimated to be 7.7 flashes to ground per km 2 according to NUREG/CR-3759
[hh]. Based on thunderstorm day frequencies observed at Chattanooga (Table 2.3-1)  the seasonal densities of flashes to ground per km 2 are estimated to be 0.55 (winter), 2.17 (spring), 4.02 (summer), and 0.96 (fall). These seasonal densities were estimated by calculating the percent of the annual thunderstorm days during the season and multiplying by the annual lightning density value. For example, winter has 3.9 thunderstorm days out of the 55.1 annual total, or 7.1%. Applying 7.1% to the 7.7 annual flashes values results in the 0.55 seasonal flashes value for the winter season.Relative potential for air pollution is indicated by the seasonal distribution of atmospheric stagnation cases of four days or more analyzed by Korshover.[15]In a 35-year period (1936-1970), there were about one case in the winter, 11 cases in the spring, 24 cases in the summer, and 34 cases in the fall. According to Holzworth
[16] there were about 35 forecast-days of high meteorological potential for air pollution in a 5-year period based on data collected in the 1960s and early 1970 (Figure 2.3-2). On the average, about seven air pollution forecast-days per year can be expected, with significantly greater probability in the summer and fall than in the winter and spring. Frost penetration depth is important for protection of water lines and other buried structural features that are subject to freeze damage. The average depth for the 1899 2.3-4METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-102through 1938 period was about six inches, and the extreme depth during the 1909 through 1939 period was about 14 inches.[17]Estimations of regional glaze probabilities have been made by Tattelman, et al.
[18] For Region V, which contains Tennessee, point probabilities for glaze icing 5.0 cm or more thick and 2.5 cm or more thick in any one year are about 1.0 x 10
-4 and 4.0 x 10
-4 , respectively. These probabilities correspond to recurrences of about once in 10,000 years and about once in 2,500 years. Ice thicknesses of 2.0, 1.8, 1.7, and 1.5 cm correspond to return periods of 100, 50, 25, and 10 years.All ice storms with glaze thicknesses 2.5 cm or greater that were analyzed were accompanied by maximum wind gusts 10 m/sec or greater. However, only one had maximum gusts 20 m/sec or greater, and that storm had ice thicknesses less than 5.0 cm.The point probabilities for lesser ice thicknesses are about 0.20 for > 1.25 cm and 0.37 for > 0.63 cm, and the respective recurrence intervals are once in five years and once in three years. However, glaze ice thicknesses 1.25 cm or less generally result in little structural damage, except for above-ground utility wires when strong winds are combined with the storms. The major impact of storms which produce these lesser ice thicknesses is a hazard to travel in the affected areas.Snowfall records for Chattanooga NWS (1937-2009) show maximum 24-hour and monthly snowfall amounts of 20.0 and 20.0 inches
[dd]. Snowfall records for Knoxville NWS (1951-2009) show maximum 24-hour and monthly snowfall amounts of 18.2 and 23.3 inches
[ee]. Older records for Knoxville before the NWS station was established show a maximum single storm of 22.5 inches
[19]. The total snow load was calculated by assuming that the maximum single snowfall falls on the maximum snowpack. For the Watts Bar Site area, the weight of the 100-year return period snow pack is estimated to be about 14 pounds per square foot.[20]Assuming that the 22.5 inches of snow that fell at Knoxville on December 4-6, 1886, had the water equivalency ratio of 1:7, or 0.14 inch per inch of snow, the weight would be about 17 pounds per square foot. The combined weight of the existing snowpack, plus the new snow would be about 31 pounds per square foot on a flat surface. For conservatism, the weight of the maximum single storm snowfall recorded in Tennessee during the 1871 through 1970 period was estimated. This 28-inch snowfall occurred on February 19-21, 1960 at Westbourne, on the Cumberland Plateau in northeastern Tennessee.
[21] A more conservative water equivalency ratio of 1:6 was used to give an estimated weight of about 24 pounds per square foot. The total snow load for this case would be about 38 pounds per square foot. Design loading considerations, including the snow load, for the reactor shield building and other Category I structures are presented in Sections 3.8.1 and 3.8.4, respectively.No meteorological parameters were used in evaluating the performance of the ultimate heat sink, which consists of a once-through cooling system utilizing the Chickamauga Reservoir on the Tennessee River. A demonstration of adequate water flow past the site is used in the design bases. This is discussed in Section 2.4.11.
METEOROLOGY 2.3-5WATTS BARWBNP-102The initial design conditions assumed for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant reactor shield building (and other safety-related structures) are the following:For the additional Diesel Generator Building and structures initiated after July 1979, the design basis tornado parameters are as follows:These requirements have been recently updated by NRC. As defined in Regulatory Guide-1.76 (revision 1), the site is located on Region I for Design Basis Tornado
 
considerations [ii]. The design conditions assumed for the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant reactor shield building (and other safety-related structures) are the following:These and tornado-driven missile criteria are discussed in Sections 3.3 and 3.5. The fastest mile of wind at 30 feet above ground is about 95 mph for a 100-year return period in the site area.
[22] The vertical distribution of horizontal wind speeds at 50, 100, and 150 feet above ground is 102, 113, and 120 mph on the basis of the speed at 30 feet and a power law exponent of 1/7. A gust factor of 1.3 is often used at the 30-foot level, but this would be conservative for higher levels. The wind load for the Shield Building is based on 95 mph for that level, as discussed in Section 3.3. Estimates of the probable maximum precipitation (PMP) and the design considerations for the PMP are discussed in Section 2.4. (1)300 mph=Rotational Speed(2)60 mph=Translational Speed(3)360 mph=

Data representative of the site or indicative of site conditions for temperature, precipitation, snowfall, humidity, fog, or wind were also obtained from climatological records for Chattanooga, Dayton, Decatur, Knoxville, Oak Ridge, and Watts Bar Dam, all in Tennessee. Short-term records for the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant site were used. These data source locations are shown relative to the plant site in Figure 2.3-3.
2.3.2.2  Normal and Extreme Values of Mete orological ParametersTemperature data from Dayton [13] and Chattanooga
[dd] are presented in Tables 2.3-2 and 2.3-3, respectively. The Chattanooga and Dayton mean daily data are provided as reasonably representative and  recent (1971-2000) temperature information. Normal mean dry-bulb temperatures range from 36.2-39.4&deg;F in the winter to 76.9-79.6&deg;F in the summer. Normal daily maximum temperatures range from 45.9-49.9&deg;F in winter to 87.7-89.6&deg;F in summer. Normal daily minimum temperatures range from 26.5-31.1&deg;F in winter to 66.1-69.0&deg;F in summer. The extreme maxima recorded for the respective data periods (46 years for Dayton and 70 years for Chattanooga) were 107&deg;F at Dayton and 106&deg;F at Chattanooga, while the extreme minima recorded were -15&deg;F and -10&deg;F, respectively. Temperature data from Decatur (Table 2.3.2), for 60 years prior to data collection at Dayton, reported an extreme maximum temperature of 108&deg;F and an extreme minimum temperature of -20&deg;F.Precipitation data are presented in Table 2.3-4. These data are from  two different rain gauges near Watts Bar Nuclear Plant, one at Watts Bar Dam (1939-1975) and one at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant meteorological tower (1974-2008). Precipitation has fallen an average of 110-111 days per year, with an annual average of 45.43 inches at the meteorological tower and 52.57 inches at Watts Bar Dam. The maximum monthly rainfall ranged from 6.52 inches to 14.78 inches. The minimum monthly amount was 0,00. The maximum rainfall in 24 hours was 5.31 inches at Watts Bar Dam in January 1946. The maximum in 24 hours at the meteorological tower was 4.77 inches on September 17, 1994. Mean monthly data reveal the wettest period as late fall through early spring, with March normally the wettest month of the year. Thunderstorm activity is most predominant in the spring and summer seasons, and the maximum frequency of thunderstorm days (Table 2.3-1) is normally in July.Appreciable snowfall is relatively infrequent in the area. Snowfall data are summarized in Table 2.3-5 for Dayton
[13] and in Table 2.3-6 for Chattanooga
[dd] and Knoxville.
[ee] The Dayton, Chattanooga and Knoxville records provide current information and offer a complete picture of the pattern of snowfall in the Tennessee River Valley from Chattanooga to Knoxville. Mean annual snowfall has ranged from 4.4 inches at Dayton to about 10 inches at Knoxville. Dayton, about halfway between those locations, averaged about 4 inches annually for an earlier period of record. Generally, significant snowfalls are limited to November through March. For the data periods presented in the tables, respective 24-hour maximum snowfalls have been 20.0, 8.0, and 18.2 METEOROLOGY 2.3-7WATTS BARWBNP-102inches at Chattanooga, Dayton, and Knoxville. Severe ice storms of freezing rain (or glaze) are infrequent, as discussed in the regional climatology section.Atmospheric water vapor content is generally rather high in the site area, as was indicated in the discussion of the regional climatology. Long-term relative humidity and absolute humidity data for Chattanooga are presented in Tables 2.3-7 through 2.3-9.[dd,25] The relative humidity for selected hours in Table 2.3-7 has been updated to a more current period of record. Tables 2.3-8 and 2.3-9 cannot be easily updated, but are still valid since the information in Table 2.3-7 show no major changes in humidity characteristics. Humidity data based on measurements at the onsite meteorological facility are summarized in Tables 2.3-10 and 2.3-11 for comparison with the data in Tables 2.3-8 and 2.3-9. A typical diurnal variation is apparent in Table 2.3-7. Relative humidity and absolute humidity are normally greatest in the summer.Fog data for Chattanooga,[dd] Knoxville,[ee] and Oak Ridge,[26] Tennessee, and from Hardwick [27] are presented in Table 2.3-12. These data indicate that heavy fog at the Watts Bar site likely occurs on about 35 days per year with the fall normally the foggiest season. Sources of data on fogs with visibilities significantly less than 1/4 mile and on durations of fogs which can be considered representative of the site have not been identified.Wind direction patterns are strongly influenced by the northeast-southwest orientation of the major topographic features, as evidenced in the onsite data, Sequoyah Nuclear Plant data
[28], and the records for Knoxville
[ee] and Oak Ridge.
[26] The Watts Bar wind direction and wind speed data are summarized in Tables 2.3-13 and 2.3-14 (annual at 10 and 46 meters); Tables 2.3-15 and 2.3-16 (directional persistence at 10 and 46 meters); and Tables 2.3-17 through 2.3-40 (monthly at 10 and 46 meters). The annual wind roses for each level are shown in Figures 2.3-4 and 2.3-5.The most frequent wind direction at 10 meters has been from south-southwest (about 16%). The next highest frequencies (about 8%) are from the north-northeast and northwest wind. The data in Table 2.3-41 and the data in Table 2.3-13 show a predominance of wind from the north-northwest and northwest, respectively, for wind speeds less than about 3.5 mph. More discussion of this very light wind speed pattern is contained in Section 2.3.3.3. It is very significant that the frequencies of calms differ so markedly between the two sets of onsite data. It appears that the higher frequency of calm conditions is primarily a consequence of the location of the temporary meteorological facility in a "sink."  The maximum wind direction persistence period at 10 meters is shown in Table 2.3-15 as 44 hours from the south-southwest direction. The monthly summaries show some minor variation in the wind direction patterns, but the upvalley-downvalley primary and secondary frequency maxima generally are fully evident.In the summary tables for 46 meters, the upvalley-downvalley wind direction pattern is very clear and dominant. The two highest frequencies are 19% from the south-southwest wind direction and 11% from the north-northeast wind direction. The maximum wind direction persistence (Table 2.3-16) during the 17-year period was 48 hours from the south-southwest.
2.3-8METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-102Wind speed is normally lower than for most parts of the United States. The other data sources referenced in the discussion of wind direction patterns also reflect this condition. Annually, the onsite data show about 53% of the hourly average wind speeds at 10 meters were less than 3.5 mph and about 85% were less than 7.5 mph.
At 46 meters, the respective frequencies show the wind speeds are relatively lighter in summer and early fall and relatively stronger in late fall, winter, and spring.Mean mixing height data for the United States have been researched by Holzworth.
[16] However, his analysis has utilized data to estimate morning mixing heights (after sunrise) and mid afternoon mixing heights. Night-time mixing heights are not addressed. Average daily mixing heights are likely to be reasonably similar to the mean morning mixing heights. The seasonal and annual estimates of these mixing heights are the following: winter, about 500 meters; spring, about 530 meters; summer, about 430 meters; fall, about 350 meters; and annual, about 450 meters.Low-level inversion frequencies in the eastern Tennessee area have been studied by Hosler.[29] His seasonal frequencies indicate inversions in the Watts Bar area about 40% of the time in winter, 30% in spring, 45% in summer, and 45% in fall. The annual frequency is about 40%. The monthly and annual percent frequencies of hours with inversions measured at the Watts Bar onsite meteorological facility for the 20-year period, 1974 through 1993, are presented in Table 2.3-42. In comparison to Hosler's seasonal and annual values, the winter, summer, and fall values are slightly lower and the spring value is higher and has the greatest departure. The highest monthly frequency in Table 2.3-42 is about 44% in October and the lowest is about 30% in January, with an annual average of about 39%. Monthly and annual frequencies of Pasquill stability classes A-G are also presented in the same table and indicate that the most stable time of year is the fall. Korshover's statistics on atmospheric stagnation cases
[15] discussed under "General Climate," provide the same indication.Table 2.3-44 presents a summary of onsite inversion persistence data, with a breakdown by stability class, for the same 20-year period discussed above. Persistence in this case is defined as two or more consecutive hours with vertical temperature gradient (T) values > 0 degrees Celsius. However, the individual classes are allowed one-hour departures among themselves. The data analyzed correspond to the T interval between 10 and 46 meters above the ground. The longest periods of inversion were 45 hours in January 1982 and 42 hours in December 1989. Other long periods, up to 21 hours, occurred in winter. A combination of cold, dry air masses with the shorter length of the solar day in that half of the year and fresh snow on the ground surface can increase the probability for inversion durations greater than 14 hours in that time of year. The unusual case of 45 hours of inversion persistence at this site occurred from January 19 to 21, 1982 at the end of a 10-day period of very cold weather. Persistent fog and low overcast with a synoptic pattern of warm air advection above an initially frozen, snow-covered ground surface and very light, variable winds at the 10-meter level created this condition.[30,31,32] The unusual case of 42 hours of inversion persistence occurred from December 29-31, 1989 during a period in which a cold front stalled to the west of the site. All of Eastern Tennessee (including the Watts Bar site) was covered by heavy fog with occasional light rain and drizzle.[33, 34, 35]
METEOROLOGY 2.3-9WATTS BARWBNP-102Distributions of stability classes A-G are presented in Figures 2.3-6A and 2.3-6B. The average diurnal variations of stability class frequencies are quite evident, with the neutral (class D) and unstable (A, B, and C) lapse conditions predominant in the daytime and the stable classes (E, F, and G) predominant through the nighttime.2.3.2.3  Potential Influence of the Plant and Its Fac ilities on Local MeteorologyThe Watts Bar site is about 45 miles north-northeast of Chattanooga. It is located on the west shore of Chickamauga Lake on the Tennessee River, which flows generally southwesterly through eastern Tennessee. The site (about 700 feet MSL) is near the center of a northeast-southwest aligned valley, 10 to 15 miles wide, flanked to the west by Walden Ridge (900 to 1,800 feet MSL,) and to the east by a series of ridges reaching elevations of 800 to 1,000 feet MSL. Figure 2.1-3 consists of a map of the topographic features (as modified by the plant) of the site area for 10 miles in all directions from the plant. Profiles of maximum elevation versus distance from the center of the plant are shown in Figures 2.3-14 through 2.3-29 for the sixteen compass point sectors (keyed to true north) to a radial distance of 10 miles.The only plant systems which may have any pragmatic effects on the local climatic patterns of meteorological parameters discussed in the preceding section are the two natural draft cooling towers and their blowdown discharge system. During their operation, some small increase in ambient atmospheric moisture and temperature can be expected from the vapor plumes discharged from the tower tops. Also, some increase in the surface water temperature of Chickamauga Lake will be associated with the discharge of heated water from the plant (primarily the cooling tower blowdown). The vapor plumes may produce some additional localized fog on rare occasions on top of Walden Ridge (about eight miles, at its closest point, to the west-northwest). The increased lake surface temperature will likely increase the frequency of river steam fog slightly over a relatively small area of the reservoir downstream from the plant. No significant environmental impacts are expected from these effects. Discontinuities in ambient thermal structure of the atmosphere related to differential surface temperatures between land and water should produce no detectable effect on the local wind patterns or stability conditions. The physical plant structures will alter wind and stability somewhat in the immediate lee of the structures by mechanical turbulence factors produced in the building wake(s). However, these effects are expected to be generally insignificant beyond the first one or two thousand feet downwind.2.3.2.4  Local Meteorol ogical Conditions for D esign and Operating BasesAll design basis meteorological parameters are discussed or referenced in Section 2.3.1.3.2.3.3  Onsite Meteorological Measurements Program2.3.3.1  Preoperational ProgramOnsite meteorological facilities have been in operation since 1971 when a temporary 40-meter (130-foot) instrumented tower was installed. It was located about 760 meters (0.5 mile) west-southwest of the unit 1 Reactor Building and had a base elevation of 2.3-10METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-1022meters (8 feet) below plant grade. The temporary facility collected wind speed, wind direction, and temperature data at the 10-meter (33-foot) and 40-meter levels until it was decommissioned in September 1973. Since the FSAR dispersion meteorology data base was collected exclusively by the permanent facility, only that facility is described in detail in this section.Permanent Meteorological FacilityThe permanent meteorological facility consists of a 91-meter (300-foot) instrumented tower for wind and temperature measurements, a separate 10-meter (33-foot) tower for dewpoint measurements, a ground-based instrument for rainfall measurements, and an environmental data station (EDS), which houses the data processing and recording equipment. A system of lightning and surge protection circuitry and proper grounding is included in the facility design. This facility is located approximately 760 meters south-southwest of the Unit 1 Reactor Building and has a base elevation of 4 meters (11 feet) below plant grade.Data collected included:  (1) wind direction and wind speed at 10, 46, and 91 meters; (2) temperature at 10, 46, and 91 meters; (3) dewpoint at 10 meters and (4) rainfall at 1 meter (3 feet). More exact measurement heights for the wind and temperature parameters are given in the EDS manual.
[37] Elsewhere in the text of this document, temperature and wind sensor heights are given as 10, 46, and 91 meters.Data collection at the permanent facility began May 23, 1973, with measurements of wind speed and wind direction at 10 and 93 meters (305 feet), temperature at 1, 10, 46, and 91 meters and dewpoint, and rainfall at 1 meter. Measurements of 46-meter wind speed and wind direction and 10-meter dewpoint began September 16, 1976. Measurements of 1-meter dew point were discontinued September 30, 1977. Wind Sensors at 93-meter (actual height was 93.3 meters) were moved to their present height on May 18, 1978. Measurements of 1-meter temperature were discontinued on April 2, 1981. The 10-meter dewpoint sensor was removed from the meteorological tower and a new dewpoint sensor was installed on a separate tower 24 meters to the northwest on April 11, 1994.Instrument Description A description of the meteorological sensors follows. More detailed sensor specifications are included in the EDS Manual. Replacement sensors, which may be of a different manufacturer or model, will satisfy the Regulatory Guide (RG)1.23 (Revision 1) specifications.

METEOROLOGY 2.3-11WATTS BARWBNP-102Data Acquisition SystemThe previous data collection system, which included a NOVA minicomputer, was replaced by a new system on March 2, 1989. This data acquisition system is located at the EDS and consists of meteorological sensors and a computer. These devices send meteorological data to the plant, to the Central Emergency Control Center (CECC) and to an offsite computer that enables callup for data validation and archiving.System Accuracies The meteorological data collection system is designed and replacement components are chosen to meet or exceed specifications for accuracy identified in RG 1.23. The meteorological data collection system satisfies the RG 1.23 accuracy requirements. A detailed listing of error sources for each parameter is included in the EDS manual.Data Recording and DisplayThe data acquisition is under control of the computer program. The output of each meteorological sensor is scanned periodically, scaled, and the data values are stored.Meteorological sensor outputs are measured at the following rates:  horizontal wind direction and wind speed, every five seconds (720 per hour); temperature and dewpoint, every minute (60 per hour); and rainfall, every hour (one per hour). Prior to February 1, 1975, only one reading of temperature and dewpoint was made each hour.
Software data processing routines within the computer accumulate output and perform data calculations to generate 15-minute and hourly average of wind speed and temperature, 15-minute and hourly vector wind speed and direction, hourly average of dewpoint, hourly horizontal wind direction sigmas, and hourly total precipitation. Prior to February 11, 1987, a prevailing wind direction calculation method was used. Subsequently, vector wind speed and direction have been calculated along with arithmetic average wind speed.Sensor Height(Meters)DescriptionWind Direction and Wind Speed10, 46, and 91Ultrasonic wind sensor.Temperature10, 46, and 91Platinum wire resistance temperature detector (RTD) with aspirated radiation shield.Dewpoint10 Capacitive humidity sensor.Rainfall1Tipping bucket rain gauge.
2.3-12METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-102Selected data each 15 minutes and all data each hour are stored for remote data access. Data sent to the plant control room every minute includes 10-, 46-, and 91-meter values for wind direction, wind speed, and temperature. Data sent to the CECC computer every 15 minutes includes 10-, 46-, and 91-meter wind direction, wind speed, and temperature values. These data are available from the CECC computer to other TVA and the State emergency centers in support of the Radiological Emergency Plan, including the Technical Support Center at Watts Bar.
Remote access of meteorological data by the NRC is availa ble through the CECC computer.Data are sent from the EDS to an offsite computer for validation, reporting, and archiving.Equipment Servicing, Maintenance, and CalibrationThe meteorological equipment at the EDS is kept in proper operating condition by staff that are trained and qualified for the necessary tasks. Most equipment is calibrated or replaced at least every six months of service. The methods for maintaining a calibrated status for the components of the meteorological data collection system (sensors, electronics, data logger, etc.) include field checks, field calibration, and/or replacement by a laboratory calibrated component. More frequent calibration and/or replacement intervals for individual components may be conducted, on the basis of the operational history of the component type. Procedures and processes such as appropriate maintenance processes (procedures, work order/work request documents, etc.) are used to calibrate and maintain meteorological and station equipment.
2.3.3.2  Operational Meteorological ProgramThe operational phase of the meteorological program includes those procedures and responsibilities related to activities beginning with the initial fuel loading and continuing through the life of the plant. This phase of the meteorological data collection program will be continuous without major interruptions. The meteorological program has been developed to be consistent with the guidance given in RG 1.23 (Revision 1) and the reporting procedure in RG 1.21 (Revision 1).
[40]  The basic objective is to maintain data collection performance to assure at least 90% joint recoverability and availability of data needed for assessing the relative concentrations and doses resulting from accidental or routine releases.The restoration of the data collection capability of the meteorological facility in the event of equipment failure or malfunction will be accomplished by replacement or repair of affected equipment. A stock of spare parts and equipment is maintained to minimize and shorten the periods of outages. Equipment malfunctions or outages are detected by maintenance personnel during routine or special checks. Equipment outages that affect the data transmitted to the plant can be detected by review of data displays in the reactor control room. Also, checks of data availability to the emergency METEOROLOGY 2.3-13WATTS BARWBNP-102centers are performed each work day. When an outage of one or more of the critical data items occurs, the appropriate maintenance personnel will be notified.In the event that the onsite meteorological facility is rendered inoperable, or there is an outage of the communication or data access systems; there is no fully representative offsite source of meteorological data for identification of atmospheric dispersion conditions. Therefore, TVA has prepared objective backup procedures to provide estimates for missing or garbled data. These procedures incorporate available onsite data (for a partial loss of data), offsite data, and conditional climatology. The CECC meteorologist will apply the appropriate backup procedures.
2.3.3.3  Onsite Data Summaries of Parameters fo r Dispersion MeteorologyAnnual joint frequency distributions of wind speed by wind direction for Pasquill atmospheric stability classes A-G, based on the onsite data for January 1974 through December 1993 are presented in Tables 2.3-45 through 2.3-52. These tables are summaries of hourly data for the wind at 10 meters and vertical temperature difference (T) between 10 and 46 meters (in the form of stability classes A-G). Tables 2.3-53 through 2.3-60 were prepared from the hourly data for the wind at 46 meters and T between 10 and 46 meters (as stability classes A-G) for January 1977 through December 1993. The frequency distributions in Tables 2.3-45 through 2.3-51 are also displayed in Figures 2.3-7 through 2.3-13.The upvalley-downvalley primary wind pattern at 46 meters exists for all seven stability classes. The 10-meter wind level also shows upvalley-downval ley wind direction patterns. However, for classes E-G, the flow patterns become progressively more diffuse, with peaks from the northwest which become primary maxima in classes F and G (Tables 2.3-50 and 2.3-51). These directional peaks for the stable classes are most pronounced in the lighter wind speed ranges. The combination of these very light winds with the more stable conditions near the earth's surface indicate that very poor atmospheric dispersion conditions for ground-level plant releases of air-borne effluent occur most frequently at night and with the northwest wind direction.The period of record for the joint frequency tables for the 46-meter wind measurement level is three years shorter than the record used for the 10-meter wind level. Collection of wind data at the 46-meter level began in September 1976. Tables 2.3-53 through 2.3-60 were originally prepared with 93-meter wind data and 10- to 91-meter T data for the July 1973-June 1975 period. The 46-meter wind level is near the height of the reactor building; and the 10- to 46-meter T interval is more representative than the 10- to 91-meter interval for stability classification, particularly for poorer dispersion conditions. The 10-meter wind level is applicable to design accident analysis and to semiannual reports on routine plant operations. The 46-meter wind level is used in radiological emergency dispersion and transport calculations.The 20-year period for the tables with 10-meter wind data and the 17-year period for the tables with 46-meter wind data reasonably represent long-term dispersion conditions at the site. The length of the record is an important factor, and patterns of unusually wet weather in the 1970s and unusually dry weather in the 1980s are included in this data base. The dispersion meteorology varied during the 20-year 2.3-14METEOROLOGY WATTS BARWBNP-102period, but the period is climatologically representative of long-term conditions. An increase in the frequency of 10-meter level calm winds (values less than 0.6 mi/hr) occurred in the early 1990s. The calm wind frequency increased from 1.6% for 1974-1988 to about 3.0% for 1974-1993. Consistent with the increase in calms, average wind speed decreased from 4.2 mi/hr for 1974-1988 to 4.1 mi/hr for 1974-1993.Potential climate change associated with a global warming of the earth's lower atmosphere may occur in the Watts Bar site area. Should that occur during the life of this nuclear plant, the dispersion meteorology will be evaluated for any significant changes and consequent impacts on plant design and operation.
2.3.4  Short-Term (Accident) Diffusion Estimates 2.3.4.1  ObjectiveRevised estimates of atmospheric diffusion expressed as dispersion factors (X/Q) have been calculated for accident releases considered as ground-level releases from the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant for specified time intervals and distances. The revised X/Q values are based on an updated onsite meteorological data base for 1974 through 1993 and RG 1.145 calculation methodology.
[41]  The original FSAR calculations were based on data collected at the Watts Bar onsite meteorological facility for the period July 1, 1973 through June 30, 1975 and R.G. 1.4 methodology.
[42]  All data used include wind direction and wind speed at 10 meters above ground and vertical temperature difference (T) between 10 and 46 meters above ground. The revised X/Q values at the exclusion area boundary and at the outer boundary of the low population zone (LPZ) were calculated as stated below.
Nomenclature for RG 1.145 MethodX/Q = centerline ground-level relative concentration (sec/m 3)y  = lateral plume spread with meander and building wake effects (m), as a function of atmospheric stability, wind speed <<
10, and distance (for distances greater than 800 meters, y = (M-1) y 800 m +  y). y = lateral plume spread as a function of atmospheric stability and distance (m). z = vertical plume spread as a function of atmospheric stability and distance (m).x = distance from effluent release point to point at which atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q values) are computed (m). = mean hourly horizontal wind speed at 10 meters (m/sec)M  =  y correction factors for stability classes D, E, F, and G from Figure 3 in RG 1.145.A = minimum containment and Auxiliary Building cross-sectional area (m 2).U 10 METEOROLOGY 2.3-15WATTS BARWBNP-102Atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q values) were calculated for a 1-hour  averaging period and assumed to apply to the 2-hour period immediately following an accident. The following equations were used to determine these values:For stability classes D, E, F, or G and windspeeds less than 6 meters per second (m/s), the higher value from equations (1) and (2) was compared to the value from equation (3). The lower of these compared values was selected for the X/Q distributions. For wind speeds greater than 6 m/s in these classes and for all wind speeds in stability classes A, B, and C, the higher of the values from equations (1) and (2) was selected.The minimum cross-sectional area, A, for Watts Bar Nuclear plant is 1630 m
: 2. The exclusion boundary distance is 1200 m, as shown in Figure 2.1-4b. However, to avoid possible nonconservative accident X/Qs, the distance that was used to calculate the X/Qs is 1100 m, which is the minimum distance from the outer edge of the release zone to the exclusion area boundary. The assumed release zone is a 100-m radius circular envelope, which contains all of the structures that are potential sources of accidental releases of airborne radioactive materials. A distance of three miles (4828 m) was used as the low population zone (LPZ) outer boundary distance.The 1-hour X/Q values for the exclusion boundary distance were distributed in the downwind 22.5-degree compass-point sectors (plume sectors) based on wind direction. Calm wind speeds (less than 0.6 mi/hr) were distributed based on the wind direction frequencies for non-calm wind speeds less than 3.5 mi/hr. The 0.5th and 5th percentile values for each sector and for all sectors combined were identified. For the LPZ distance, the 0.5th percentile and 5th percentile 1-hour values for each sector, the annual average values for each sector, and the 0.5th and 5th percentile 1-hour values for all sectors combined were determined. The annual average X/Qs were calculated from hourly average data according to guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.111 for constant mean wind direction models.
[43] All calculations used an assumed wind speed of 0.6 mile per hour (0.268 m/s), which is the starting threshold of the anemometer, for hours with values less than that and thus defined as calms. Site-specific adjustment factors for terrain confinement and recirculation effects on concentrations at the LPZ distance were calculated and applied to the initial annual XQ 1 U 10 y z A 2+------------------------------------------------

The method used to develop these adjustment factors is the same as that discussed in the offsite dose calculation manual for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant. The 16 sector adjustment factors are the following:LPZ distance X/Qs for 8-hour, 16-hour, 3-day, and 26-day averaging periods were obtained by logarithmic interpolation between 1-hour values used for the 2-hour averaging period and annual average values. Sector values were interpolated between the 0.5th percentile 1-hour values assumed for the 2-hour time period and the annual average values for the respective sectors (e.g., between southeast sector 0.5th percentile 2-hour X/Q and southeast sector annual average X/Q). The 5th percentile
 
overall site X/Q values were interpolated between the 5th percentile 1-hour value (assumed for the 2-hour time period) for all sectors combined and the maximum sector annual average value selected from the 16 sector annual average values.2.3.4.2  Calculation ResultsThe 1-hour sector-specific and overall (all directions combined) atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Q) for the exclusion boundary are presented in Table 2.3-61 based on the 15-year data set of 1974-1988 and Table 2.3.61a based on the 20-year data set of 1974-1993. The maximum 0.5th and 5th percentile X/Q values are from the 15-year data set and are 6.040 x 10
-4 sec/m 3 and 5.323 x 10
-4 sec/m 3, respectively. The maximum 0.5th and 5th percentile X/Q values from the 20-year data sets (6.070
 
x 10-4 sec/m 3 and 5.263 x 10
-4 sec m 3, respectively) are essentially unchanged from the 15-year values.The 1-hour 0.5th percentile, 1-hour 5th percentile, and annual average X/Q values for each of the 16 plume sectors and the 1-hour overall 0.5th and 5th percentile X/Q values for the low population zone distance are presented in Table 2.3-62 based on the 15-year data set of 1974-1988 and Table 2.3-62a based on the 20-year set of 1974-1993. Only minor differences exist between the two sets of values. For 8-hour, 16-hour, 3-day, and 26-day averaging periods, the X/Qs were obtained by logarithmic interpolation between the 1-hour and annual average X/Q values. The 5th percentile overall site 1-hour X/Q and the maximum sector annual average X/Q were used to produce the values given in Table 2.3-63 (1974-1988) and Table 2.3-63a (1974-1993).The 0.5th percentile 1-hour X/Q and annual average X/Q for each sector were used to produce the values given in Table 2.3-64 (1974-1988) and Table 2.3-65 (1974-1993). The maximum sector set corresponds to the southeast plume sector. The respective values are:

Topographic effects have been mentioned previously, but some expansion relative to the 10-meter wind data is necessary. There is a predominance of northwest wind direction frequencies for a combination of very light wind speeds and quite stable atmospheric stability conditions. The terrain at the site has a general, gradual downward slope toward the south and southeast. Apparently, this is influencing the air flow over the site during periods with very light winds and stable conditions. Dispersion meteorology used in accident analyses in Chapter 15 include X/Q values in Table 2.3-66 and 1/U values in Table 2.3-67. These values were based on the 15-year data set for 1974-1988. Table 2.3-66a and 2.3-67a present the same information based on the 20-year data set for 1974-1993. The original FSAR values are presented with the updated bases for comparison.

Diffusion EstimatesThe X/Qs and D/Qs and the respective calculation methodologies are presented in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual for Watts Bar Nuclear Plant.The joint frequency distributions of wind speed and wind direction by stability class in Tables 2.3-45 through 2.3-51 form the basis for Offsite Dose Calculation Manual estimation of long-term X/Qs. RG 1.111 methodology is used to calculate these X/Qs from the onsite meteorological data base. Additional information is provided in the Offsite Dose Calculation Manual.The long-term representativeness of the 20-year onsite meteorological data base is discussed in Sections 2.3.3.3 and 2.3.4.2.
