Repor t No.17490-1 Page No.=1 1.0 PURPOSE This analysis was prepared by Wyle Laboratories for Rochester Gas and Electric Company.The purpose of this report is to provide answers to the following NRC questions:

1.Estimate of the amounts of each gas, such as hydrogen, organic gases, and hydrogen chloride, which would be produced by radiation from the decomposition of the foam during a DBA.2'.The results of an analysis of the effect of the hydrogen chloride generated during a DBA, including corrosion of components in the, containment building.2.0 SCOPE 3.0 The scope of this investigation includes literature search and analysis of applicable data for Johns-Manville Vinylcel insulation.

Test data for Vinylcel, and for a number of similar polyvinyl chloride materials is considered.

The effects of'the"Robert E.Ginna plant normal and accident environments on Vinylcel are evaluated.

APPLICABLE VINYLCEL TEST REPORTS 4.0 3.1 Johns-Manville Research and Engineering Center,"Test Report Vinylcel (4PCF)-Water Vapor Permeability and Humid Aging Tests," Report No.E455-T-268, December 20, 1967 3.2'ohns-Manville Research and Engineering Center,"Test Report, Vinylcel (4PCF)-Effect of Heat and Pressure," Report No E455-T-266, November 3, 1967 3.3 Johns-Manville Research and Engineering Center,"Test Report, Vinylcel-Resistance to Flame Exposure", Report No.E455-T-258, September 21, 1967 TEST RESULTS.4.1 Water Va or Permeabilit and Humid A in Per Report 3.1, Vinylcel with 4PCF nominal density was tested for water permeability at 90oF, for 50%relative humidity, and for dimensional changes at 120oF and 100%relative humidity.The results are as follows: o Results indicate that the water permeability of a 1-inch thick specimen was 0.06 perm-in.o After six (6)months at 120oF and 100%relative humidity, the volume change was only 1.2%and length and width changes only 0.3%.WYLE LABORATORlES Huntsville Facility Report No.17490-1 Page No.2 4.0 4.2 TEST RESULTS (CONTINUED)

Effect of Heat and Pressure Per Report 3.2, Vinylcel of 4 PCF nominal density, l-l/2 inches thick, was subjected to a combined heat and compression test to simulate an"incident" in a nuclear reactor containment vessel.The results are as follows: The 30-'minute test included a maximum temperature of 334oF at 90 PSI.Eighty six (86)percent of the test time was at a temperature greater than the 286oF maximum.accident temperature at the Ginna plant." Maximum permanent loss of thickness was 29 percent.Weight loss was not measured so decomposition could not be evaluated.

4.3 4.4 Resistance to Flame Ex osure Per Report 3.3, unfaced and metal-faced Vinylcel were subjected to a number of flame tests, including building tests, vertical panel test, tunnel test, and flame penetration.

'The metal-faced Vinylcel passed all tests, whereas, the unfaced performed satisfactorily in all but the flame penetration.

Attempts were made to'ignite'the'evolved gases.Only trace quantities of combustible gases (possibly'H2 orshort chain hydrocarbons) were found.Thermo avimetric Anal sis The complete test report, Johns-Manville Test Report E455-T-142, was not.available, but the.test conditions and graphic results are provided in Report 3.3.The results are as follows: The Vinylcel was subjected to a heating rate of 8oC per minute, and the air flow was 0.5 liters per minute.Initial weight loss occurred at 140oC (284oF), and rapid weight loss was observed at"225oC'('437oF).'

38 percent weight loss was observed at 300oC (572oF).Decomposition was continued at a lower rate between 300o and 600oC (1112oF)to a 94.5 percent weight loss.No direct analysis of evolved gases was reported (see Figure 2).4.5 Radiation Ex osure Reference 8, notes"Radiation exposure of 8 x 106 Roentgens within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> will not change the physical properties of Yinylcel significantly but 108 Roentgens within.-10, hours" will cause some progressive deterioration'." This radiation resistance was apparently based on generic data for PVC.No information on the radiation resistance of Vinylcel was located.WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsville Feality Q Report No.17490-1 Page No.3 5.0 ANALYSIS 5.1 Anal sis Includin Data for Similar Materials Since no specific data was available for irradiated Vinylcel, and since synergistic effects of temperature, radiation, and oxidizing conditions are known for some polyvinyl chloride-based materials, this analysis is based on data for generically similar materials.

The following significant information is noted: o At temperatures below 200oC, the only volatile product from degradation of pure, unirradiated PVC is HCl;neither H2 or C12 has been detected, Reference 16.o For foamed or plasticized PVC based materials, HC1 is the only volatile released in significant quantities.

Reference 6 identifies products released in small quantities (less than 1%by weight)from three (3)PVC-based insulations at elevated temperatures in air.These constituents wer e CO2, CO, aldehydes, ammonia, cyanides and nitrogen oxides.o Irradiation also results in dehydrochlorination of PVC materials.

This apparently occurs at doses as low as 5xl05 rads for some PVC materials, Reference 12.5.2 Determination of Radiation Sensitivit No datawas found for exposure of Vinylcel to irradiation.

Data available for exposure of other irradiated PVC materials was therefore considered.

I The lowest radiation threshold value indicated in the referenced data for any PVC material was Sx105 rads (References 7 and 12).This value is 20 percent greater than the 3x105 rads requirement indicated for 40 years normal ser vice at Ginna, Reference 14.The normal radiation dose of 3xl05 rads is, therefore, concluded to be insignificant.

6.0 EVALUATION

OF GINNA ACCIDENT CONDITIONS The Ginna accident condition is indicated as 286oF (141.11oC) and 60 psig for 2.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />, followed by 219oF (103.89oC) for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, and 152oF (66.67 C)for the remainder,'of 180 days.From Reference 6, it was noted that none of the three PVC's tested evolved HC1 until temperatures exceeded 160oC.The weight loss noted in all three samples ranged from 2.1 to 4%before HCl was detected.A comparison of TGA curves for those materials and Vinylcel indicates that Vinylcel has significantly better temperature resistance so the Ginna accident temperatures would not be expected to cause HCl evolution.

WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsvtlla Facility report No.i'(68v-l Page No.4 6.0 EVALUATION OF GINNA ACCIDENT CONDITIONS (CONTINUED)

Then for the Ginna accident scenario, the important parameter'with regard to generation of HCl is the integrated radiation dose.The 180 day accident dose is 2 x 108 rads.The accumulated radiation dose at the end of 2.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> will be less than 2 x 107 rads per Regulatory Guide 1.89 Proposed Rev.1, Appendix D.The 19-mil stainless steel facing will provide significant Beta shielding, stopping all Beta radiation with an energy'less than approximately 1 KIEV.Therefore, the radiation dose to the Vinylcel is calculated to be less than 5 x 106 rads at the end of the initial 2.8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> phase of the accident.Reference ll states that no HC1 was found in mass spectrometer analysis of polyvinyl chloride irradiated to 5 x 106 rads.It appears that the initial design basis event transient within the first 2.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of high temperature regime.would not generate HC1.This is further supported by data from Reference 3.Pure PVC resin irradiated to 5.8 x 10" rads and exposed to 150oC in a pure oxygen atmosphere showed negligible weight loss after 3 hours3.472222e-5 days <br />8.333333e-4 hours <br />4.960317e-6 weeks <br />1.1415e-6 months <br /> Reference,.3.

demonstrated the well recognized fact that oxygen acceler-ates loss of HC1.It is also certain that elevated temperatures accelerate loss of HCl.It is apparent that the test conditions were more severe than the accident requirements at Ginna.Reference 24.states that pure PVC resins are not as'resistant to dehydrochlorination as PVC based materials.

Vinylcel may be significant+

more resistant to loss of HCl than the material tested.~Reference.3 also'provides useful data in determining a maximum rate at which decomposition might proceed.Samples of PVC irradiated to various doses in oxygen were exposed to 150oC for durations up to approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br />.Figure 1 shows that after approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> at 150oC, the weight loss of PVC was as follows: Radiation Dose (Rads)0""" 5.8 x 106 17.4 x 106 29 x 106 52.2 x 106 Weight Loss at 150 C at 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> (%)2.5 7 11 12 14 WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsville Facilt ty port No.17490-1 Page No.5 6.0 4 EVALUATION OF GINNA ACCIDENT CONDITIONS (CONTINUED) 54 The rate of HCl evolution, at Ginna accident temperatures should be slower than the values above.HCl could be neutralized by the containment spray system as it is released from the Vinylcel.The total amount of HCl formed is also of concern.Reference 12, discusses total HCl generated from irradiation of PVC.The generation of HCl is defined by the chemical term of GHCI, which is the number of HCl molecules produced per 100 electron volts of radiation absorbed by the PVC.Reference 12 notes a GHCI of 22.6 at 160OF for PVC exposed to 2 x 107 rads in vacuum.A calculation"'assuming an absorbed dose to Vinylcel of 2 x 108 rads (see appendix)indicates that Vinylcel would be required to have GHCL=75.65 for total loss of HCl to occur.This is more than three (3)times the highest value found but since no value was found for a radiation dose of 2 x 108 it was assumed that the calculated value was achievable.

The following calculations and the evaluation of corrosive effects is based on the assumption that total'decomposition occurs.7.0 CALCULATIONS t Reference 13 provides an approximate structural formula for Vinylcel.The weight percent of the crosslinking agent was not identified, but since that ag'ent,would serve to reduce the percent chlorine it is adequate, for this treatment, to make the.assumption that the material is PVC.From the empirical formula (CH2 CH CL)the material is 56.8 percent chlorine by weight.For Ginna insulated wall, an area of 36,181 ft of l-l/4" (4 PCF)Vinylcel, the total material weight is approximately 6,838,000 gms, of which approximately 3,884,000 gms is chlorine.The applicable parameters for Ginna, Reference 14, indicate that the total dehydrochlorination would, release 1.0956 x 105 moles of HCl.If-the HCl were uniformly distributed in the containment volume, the concentration would be 4.22 x 10 6 moles/cm3, as shown below: I Concentration

=Moles/volume Concentration of HCl=1.0956 x 105 moles/(917,000 ft3 x 28316.847 cm3/ft3)Concentration of HCl=4.22 x 10 6 moles/cm3 (2)(3)The HCl will not remain in the atmosphere, but will be condensed and dissolved in the borated water solution recirculated through the Reactor Heat Removal (RHR)System.WYLE LASORATORIES Huntsville Facility v v ssvo k~'X 4'V J Page No.6, 7.0 CALCULATIONS (CONTINUED)

.The total volume of solution available'for dilution is 1,079,604 liters, as shown below: S ra S stem Tank 230,000 gal (2,000 ppm borated): 870.5 x 103 liters.Reactor Flood Tanks 6,250 ft3 (50-100 ppm borated): 1',134 ft3 (2,000 ppm borated): Total 176.95 x 1Q3 liters 32.1 x 103 liters 1.08 x 106 liters The final maximum concentration in the solution recirculated through the RHR System could be 0.105 molar in HCl.If unbuffered, the pH would be approximately 1.The solution is actually a dilute boric acid buffered with NaOH to a pH of 8.5-1Q.O.A 5,100-gallon tank of 30 percent NaOH is maintained on site'with'1'."4'476'x'1'05 moles of NaOH.The capability to monitor and adjust the pH of the solution is available after accident initiation.

Since the HC1 will be added gradually, the solution pH can be maintained in the required range of 8.5-10.0 by addition of NaOH solution.The solution would become about 0.1 molar'in NaCl.Corrosive effects for the RHR,System would then'be those of salt solutions.

The'Vinylcel stainless steel facing and the carbon steel liner will be exposed to HCl as it evolves from the insulation.

Some portion of this HCl will be absorbed by the insulation and remain in contact with the metal walls.Moisture may penetrate the insulation along the panel joints in the humid post'-accident

'enviionment.

This action would result in exposure of the carbon steel liner and'the interior of the stainless steel facing to aqueous HCl.It is assumed that the stainless facing will be exposed to significant moisture;the carbon steel liner will be partiany protected by the insulation.

8.0 CORROSION EFFECTS Effects are considered separately for the RHR System components, the carbon steel liner of the insulation, and the 19 mil stainless insulation facing since they will be'exposed to"differ'ent environments, as noted in Paragraph 7.0.8.1 Effects For RHR Com onents As indicated in the preceding section, these components may be exposed to a 0.1 molar salt solution (approximately 0.6 percent salt).The corrosive effects should be similar to those of sea water and the data for sea water will be assumed applicable.

Components in the system are all stainless steel or stainless steel clad.WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsville Facility

~~O Report No 17490-1 Page Vio.7 8.0 CORROSION EFFECTS (CONTINUED) 8.1 Effects For RHR Com onents (Continued)

Reference 20 indicates that a maximum rate for general corrosion of 316 stainless steel by sea water is 0.00063 inch per year.Low carbon and copper-bearing steels show higher corrosion rates of 0.004-0.005 inch per year.These'ow values indicate that significant corrosion should not occur in the 180day post-accident period-Reference 19 indicated that sea water induced pitting and crevice corrosion can occur for stainless steels, but these actions would not become'significant in less than 1.5-2 years.8.2 Effects For Carbon Steel Panel Liner The entire carbon steel liner (both insulated and non insulated surfaces)is protected from direct contact with the environment by a Carbo Zinc-11/Pheno-line 305 coating system.This would retard or prevent direct contact between HCl and the carbon steel.Phenoline 305 is indicated by the manufacturer as having"very good" resistance to acid splashes and spills and Carbo Zinc-ll is rated"good".Reference 19 indicates good acid resistance for phenolic coatings at temperatures up to 300oF.If the top coat is penetrated the zinc based primer (approximately 86%zinc)provides an additional physical barrier and may be preferentially attacked by the HCl if it is penetrated.

Though the effect may be reversed under some environmental conditions, temperatures below 140oF and the presence of Cl ions would probably cause the zinc to act as a sacrificial anode (Reference 20)providing further protection of the steel liner.Eg Since no'est data was available to determine the amount of protection provided (or whether zinc would act as a sacrificial anode at the Ginna specified 152oF ambient)the effects of direct HCl/carbon steel contact will be considered.

If moisture does not penetrate the insulation and the liner so that the carbon steel is exposed only to~dr HCl gas, the corrosion effects would not be significant.

Reference 21 indicates a corrosion rate of 0.00003 inch per year for carbon steel exposed to dry HCl at 500oF.Carbon steel is, however, sensitive to aqueous HC1 in air environments.

If moisture penetrates the degraded insulation, or passes through joints between panels, corrosion would occur.Reference 20 indicates corrosion rates for mild steel (carbon steel)exposed to 0.4 percent and 4.0 percent HCl in air at room temperatures.

These rates were 0.39 inch and 0.48 inch per year, respectively.

Higher temperatures would also accelerate corrosion.

As indicated in Reference 19, corrosion rates greater than 0.05 inch per year, result in short service life for the specified material.WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsv>lie Facility Report No.17490-1 Page No.8 8.0 CORROSION EFFECTS (CONTINUED) 8.3 Effects for the 19-'Mil Stainless Steel Insulation Facin Panels While more resistant than carbon steel, all stainless steels have poor resistance to aqueous HCI.Also direct aqueous HCl/stainless steel contact is more probable;moisture may not penetrate the insuIation per paragraph 3.1 or the Carbo Zinc-ll/Phenoline 305 but could penetrate along panel joints and around retaining bolts.Corrosion could occur along panel joints and around retaining bolts.9,0'ONCI'USIONS'"'.1 In response to NRC letter.dated 1-17-81, Question No.2: Question An estimate of the amounts of each gas as hydrogen, organic gases and hydrogen chloride, which would be provided by radiation from the decomposition of the foam during DBA.Answer The only gas produced in more than trace quantities would be, HC1.No HC1 gas would be expected until the radiation level exceeds 5 x 106 rais.The postulated peak temperature during the DBA of 286oF occuring within the first 2.8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> would probably not produce and HCl as long'as the radiation level did not exceed 5 x 10>rads during this time.The postulated total integrated dose of 2 x 108 rads would result in generation of HC1.The total amount generated is uncertain.

A'orst case-"ofotal" dehydrochlorination is assumed although the actual loss is likely to be significantly less.9.2 In response to NRC letter dated 1-17-81;Question No.5: question The results of an analysis of the effect of the hydrogen chloride generated during a DBA including corrosion of components in the containment building.Answer The HCl gases which would be released into the containment would become neutralized by the chemical spray.Minor corrosion to the reactor heat removed system may result.The corrosion effects of dry HCl gas are insignificant.

WYLE LABORATORIES Huntsvtlte Facility port No.17490-1 Page No.9 9.0 9.2'ONCLUSIONS (CONTINUED)

Answer (Continued) h ri Corrosion of the carbon steel liner could occur if aqueous HCI contacts its surface.This contact will be delayed and may not occur at all.The Vinylcel provides protection from the moist containment atmosphere.

The Carbo Zinc 11/Phenoline 305 coating system is a barrier to direct HC1/Carbon Steel Contact.If penetrated, the Carbo Zinc 11 may act as a sacrificial anode further protecting the carbon steel.Corrosion of the 19-mil facing is expected along panel joints and around retaining bolts.
