| |
| trip devices in the AK breakers with Westinghouse solid-state Amptector overcurrent devices.Due to the age of the EC devices and the inherent design principle of the electromechanical type trip device, these EC devices had experienced an unusually high failure rate during testing of approximately 50 percent.Safety Evaluation Summary: The overcurrent trip function already exists and the modification only changes.the method of performing the function.The failure modes and effects were found to be identical to the modes and effects of the currently installed devices, and the new overcurrent trip devices are much more reliable.The new devices also permit greater flexibility in trip settings, allowing better achievement of proper selectivity and coordination in the low-voltage distribution system.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

The NRC issued Generic Letter 94-03 due to observed cracking in the core shrouds of several boiling water reactors.This generic letter required inspection of'the shroud and/or repair, if necessary.
| |
| Revision 0 of this safety evaluation evaluated work performed during RFO13 and Revision 1 evaluated work performed during RFO14.Revision 2 evaluated the use of the 25-ton auxiliary hoist.NMPC performed a preemptive repair of the shroud during RFO13.The NMP1 reactor core shroud repair was designed to structurally replace shroud welds H1 through H8.The installation of the entire repair involved electrical discharge machining (EDM)of the shroud support cone and shroud itself, which generated very fine particles called swarf;the attachment of a trolley/buggy to the refuel bridge;the addition of an auxiliary bridge on Reactor Building El.340;and other special considerations for the shroud repair.During RFO14, the 270 azimuthal tie rod assembly installed during RFO13 was removed and replaced with a modified spare tie rod assembly.Also, the lower spring contact against the shroud was modified to extend beyond the H6A weld on all four tie rod assemblies.
| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: The installation of the core shroud repair requires that special equipment and processes be used to minimize the in-vessel debris generation and provide minimal impact on other work being performed on Reactor Building El.340.The design and function of the spent fuel pool cooling (SFP)and the reactor water cleanup systems are not being altered during the repair installation.
| |
| Both systems have been evaluated and will continue to perform as designed during and after the repair installation.

| |
| The tooling for"heavy loads" has been designed and will be used in accordance with NUREG-0612.
| |
| During RFO14, the removal and installation of the 270'ie rod meets the requirements of NUREG-0612 by using lifting devices which meet NUREG-0612.
| |
| The dose rates resulting from the removal of the 270'ie rod assembly and the installation of extension pieces will have minimal radiological impact and the radiological controls used during the removal and installation will ensure that there are no adverse impacts on the 10CFR20 limits.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that these changes do not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| There is a positive slope;i.e., the setpoint increases with increasing recirculation flow.Because of'this slope, the setpoint at 100%flow was lower than necessary, so that the setpoint at 120%flow could be set within the tolerance described in the specification.
| |
| Hence, the setpoint at 100%flow caused unnecessary rod blocks.This change revised the UFSAR figure to allow for calibration of the APRM rod block setpoint at 107.1%recirculation flow.This was a change to the method of calibration only and did not require a hardware change.Safety Evaluation Summary: The APRM rod block responds to accidents and transients and, therefore, by design cannot initiate an accident or transient.
| |
| The APRM rod block is not taken credit for in any accidents or transients described in the UFSAR.In addition, the scram setpoint is not affected.The APRM rod block will still provide margin to ensure fuel design limits are satisfied.

| N/A il Fire Brigade Membership Requirements and Revision of NlP-FPP-01 Description of Change:\~This evaluation examined the requirements for Fire Brigade membership-and the staff which may be qualified for membership in the Fire Brigade.Previously, the Fire Brigade leader and two of the Fire Brigade members.were required to be part of the fire protection staff.This change allows plant staff members who are qualified in accordance with the Fire Brigade training program to serve as Fire Brigade members at the level to which they are assigned.Safety Evaluation Summary: Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation has traditionally staffed the Fire Brigade at Nine Mile Point with"professional" firafighters, based on the concept that personnel assigned to the Fire Brigade were dedicated to fire protection duties.ln 1994, the composition of the Fire Brigade was modified to allow two of the Fire Brigade members to be non-fire protection staff personnel.
| |
| Part of the philosophy for that modification was that each fire attack team could still have one full-time fire protection staff member, a"professional" firefighter, assigned to lead the fire hose attack in fire suppression activities.
| |
| As these teams consisting of fire protection and non-fire protection staff personnel have practiced as teams and matured as Fire Brigade members, it has become apparent that non-fire protection personnel can perform fire suppression activities effectively, given adequate training and practice sessions (drills).Based on this, the Fire Brigade membership requirements are being revised to allow any individual receiving adequate training and practice to be assigned to the Fire Brigade.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: The water/sewage mixture is contained in the utility collector tank.The treatment scheme will be to raise the pH of the tank's contents for the purpose of dissolving the organic and inorganic matter and for killing any biological organisms which may be growing in the tank.The solution will be maintained at a pH of approximately 10-10.5.The solution's pH will then be adjusted downward to eliminate depletion of radwaste resin.Any solids which do not dissolve will be removed by filtration.
| |
| Soluble material will be removed by a combination of filtration by charcoal, reverse osmosis membranes, and by demineralization.
| |
| Ultraviolet lights are available and can be used if necessary to oxidize organic material for easier removal.The effluent water will be evaluated using existing chemistry procedures before the water is released to the condensate storage tanks for reuse.

| |
| Due to.the radiological concerns associated with the use of the radioactive tracer, sodium-24, potassium nitrate (KNO,)was selected for use at NMP1 in order to quantify the feedwater heat exchanger tube leaks;Potassium nitrate is a neutral salt which is soluble in water and completely dissociates.
| |
| The use of this nonradioactive tracer provided the necessary level of detection without the radiological challenges of a radioactive tracer.Procedure N1-STP-56 determined the FW heaters which had tube leaks.The test also was able to estimate the size of leaks.The location and amount of the leak was needed to determine the best economical solution to the problem.The injection point was through sample valves downstream of FW booster pumps.The sample points are downstream of the sample system heat exchangers.
| |
| Cooling water was supplied from service water, and mixing water was supplied from demineralized water.The waste cooling water and sample water was released to the floor drains.The equipment required a 5 gpm cooling water flow rate.The power requirements were supplied by 240 VAC welding outlet for the vendor-supplied injection equipment and 110 VAC for the vendor-supplied control equipment.

| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: In order to remove the work platform WP1, the CRB holders currently bolted t'o the table need to be relocated to the CDPS temporarily and as required to support future blade exchanges.
| |
| The CRB holders have been evaluated in Calculation No.S10RX340SPRIG23 as freestanding structures in the CDPS, either loaded or unloaded with control blades.The analysis completed in accordance with the applicable criteria concludes that no damage will occur to the spent fuel pool or CDPS due to a seismic event or other abnormal transient.
| |
| No damage to fuel or fuel racks will occur as the CDPS is isolated from the remainder of the spent fuel pool.The CRB holders in the CDPS will be used as required to support control blade exchanges to and from the reactor and to and from the single blade holders on the spent fuel pool curb.The duration that control blades will actually be stored in the CRB holders in the CDPS is small, and the consequences of a transient or accident involving control blades is insignificant.
| |
| Calculation No.S10RX340SPRIG23 demonstrates that the CRB holders will not overturn during a seismic event and no damage to the CDPS can occur.The work table, restraints and test weight will be pressure washed during removal from the pool to minimize contamination and exposure.The equipment will be Safety Evaluation Summary Report'Page 20 of 68 w-l i If\i f p j'L M~'l i~i'96-007 (cont'd.)+v<ZeDAWp i w is gt tP 6w i3 fi%3 ifi~1...:-.:,-.Safety EvaloaSon No.:\a 1 Safety-Evaluation Summary':-~-""'-"'-=---'-'-'<(corit'd

| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: Changing the collection technique to alternate methods endorsed by ANSI/ASME N510-1980 is within the licensing basis of the system.The proposed alternative techniques sample the charcoal beds with minimal disturbance of the filter media.This results in samples which are representative of the condition of the charcoal beds, thus ensuring that the test results accurately reflect the ability of the filter trains to remove the potential release of particulates from the air stream.This provides an accurate check of the efficiency of the charcoal filters.When the efficiencies of the filter trains are maintained as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the 10CFR100 guidelines for the accidents analyzed.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| This calculation assumes a maximum usage of SF, of 250 SCF and a postulated tube leak of up to 5 gpm.Helium use up to 250 SCF is permitted.
| |
| Should additional SF6 or helium be required, engineering shall be contacted to evaluate its use, Reactor water sulfate concentration action level 1 is 5 ppb.By calculation the expected increase in sulfates due to dissolution of SF6 will be less than 5 ppb.In addition, sulfates will be removed by the reactor water cleanup system.Feedwater and reactor water conductivity should be unaffected by the use of SF6 or helium and can be monitored during this test.Technical Specification limits for chlorides and conductivity shall still be monitored and adhered to.Conformance to NDD-CHE guidelines assures that intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC)is not increased by this test.Sulfur hexafluoride and helium, at the concentration expected, have a negligible impact on the production, moderation or absorption of neutrons.Reactivity will be unaffected by the presence of these chemicals.

| |
| The gate valve and ball valves are fully ported and the flow characteristics are unchanged.
| |
| The ball valve increases the weight at this location to 43 pounds, which is an insignificant change for the design of the piping.The ball valve meets or exceeds the design requirements of the spent fuel pool system.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: The M6CB nominal sheath thickness, absorber tube outside diameter, roller dimensions, and wing thickness are equivalent to those dimensions used in the Duralife 230 control blade.The Duralife 230 control blade was evaluated to ensure that it could be inserted during normal, abnormal, emergency and faulted modes of operation within the limits assumed in the plant analyses.The analyses considered the effects of manufacturing tolerances, swelling and irradiation growth and includes the time-dependent effects of corrosion.
| |
| The Duralife 230 control blade was approved for use in a BWR-2 by the NRC and several are currently in use at NMP1.Additionally, the weight of the M6CB is equivalent to the BWR-2 Original Equipment control blade design.Therefore, the mechanical performance of the M6CB will not differ from control blades currently used at NMP1.The M6CB control blades have approximately the same hot and cold reactivity worth as the BWR-2 Original Equipment control blade (matched worth).Therefore, the M6CB has the same nuclear performance properties as blades currently installed in NMP1.

| |
| Actuation of these open head deluge systems provides WATER ONLY to the covered areas.While detector actuation opens the supply motor-operated valve (foam and water)to these lines, the foam pump must be manually started in order to get foam concentrate injection.
| |
| This mode of operation is in compliance with National Fire Protection Association Code 16 (NFPA'16),"Installation of Deluge Foam-Water Sprinkler and Foam-Water Spray System," and is per the.original system design.Discrepancies existed between the system description sections of the Unit 1 UFSAR and NRC Safety Evaluation Report (SER)regarding automatic vs.manual starting of the foam injection pumps.These discrepancies were minor in nature and did not affect the Fire Protection Program at NMP1.The NMP1 UFSAR has been revised to indicate the foam injection pumps can only be started manually, and the NRC SER discrepancies have been identified and discussed.
| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: The proposed changes clarify and update the UFSAR and reconcile the UFSAR and NRC SER.The changes are strictly editorial in nature and reflect what has always been the design basis for the foam-water system.This clarification and reconciliation have no physical effect on any plant structure, system or component, or any design basis or accident.This update will clarify the method and mode of operation of the NMP1 foam-water system as described in the Fire Hazard Analysis and Safe Shutdown Analysis.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| Screen wash pump 13 is a standby pump used as a backup to either pump'11 or 12.Safety Evaluation Summary: Since the intertie valves are manual, isolation of upstream eqvipment can be obtained as necessary by closing the valves.With the valves normally closed, backflow throvgh pump 13 is prevented, assuring full flow to the screens from pump 11 and 12 and reducing the potential for damage to pump 13.Closing both intertie valves will require manual action to open either the upper header valve or the lower header valve before putting the pump in service.This is preferable to running with the valves open since: 1)running with the valves open causes recirculation of flow from pump 11 or 12, resulting in less flow to the screens and potential damage to seals;and 2)the development of differential pressure across the screen is not expected to occur rapidly (by engineering judgment and operating experience), allowing sufficient time for operator action.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| Also, the lower spring of the 270'zimuth stabilizer was bearing on the blend radius of a recirculation nozzle.An additional change replaced the 270'ie rod and spring assembly without having a spring on the opposite side of the tie rod.This modification relocated the spring to bear on the reactor pressure vessel as intended.During RFO14, clearance was found between the toggle bolts and the shroud support cone that could affect the axial tightness of the stabilizer assemblies.'he clearance between the toggle bolts and the shroud support cone was removed, restoring the stabilizer assemblies to their originally intended design.The lower wedge latches had the potential to become loaded due to differential vertical displacement greater than intended by the original design of the latches.New modified latches were installed which are more tolerant of differential vertical displacement.

| |
| The UFSAR has also been revised to indicate the ratio of relief area to building volume as 1.6 ft'/1000 ft'or the Reactor Building and 0.21 ft/1000 ft'or the Turbine Building.Safety Evaluation Summary: The failure blowout pressures (internal pressure)of 65 psf (RB)and 62 psf (TB)are sufficiently
| |
| <117 psf (RB)and<135 psf (TB)and provide adequate protection of Reactor Building/Turbine Building superstructures against internal pressure, where 117 psf and 135 psf are the minimum internal pressures that should reach inside the Reactor Building and Turbine Building superstructures, respectively, for failure, as documented in Calculations S4RX340BLDG01 and S4TB300BLDG01.

| |
| There are common components in the system.Further, the effluent of each of the redundant cooling and filtering trains is bounded by a check valve and a spectacle flange.The system must be secured to do corrective maintenance on a common component.
| |
| The system must also be secured for a short period for maintenance on each redundant train to allow time to reverse the spectacle flange, because the associated discharge check valve cannot be considered a secure boundary for personnel safety.According to the UFSAR, the SFC system must maintain the pool temperature below 125'F and maintain acceptable water clarity.This safety evaluation considered power operation, not refueling outages;therefore, reactor cavity and equipment storage pit level functions are unaffected.
| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: The SFC system may be secured for a limited time for maintenance on common components, or components which require securing common components for personnel safety.During this period, the pool temperature will be monitored so the temperature of the pool will not exceed the design limit of 125 F.Evaporative, radiative, and conductive heat losses are not considered in Calculation S14-54-HX08.

| |
| local flow rate indication was provided in the supply and exhaust lines.Neither.the current design nor the original completed plant design provide for this flow rate indication.
| |
| The flow indication was removed during plant construction.
| |
| Flow rate indication is only required for the emergency ventilation system.Reactor building normal ventilation system including flow indication/alarm is not safety related.Safety Evaluation Summary: Local flow indication was originally discussed in the FSAR because the original plant design once included local flow indication in both the intake and exhaust of the reactor building normal ventilation system.The indication was removed before original construction was completed.
| |
| Flow indications were also added to the emergency ventilation system such that both trains of the system would have flow monitoring capability, while the local flow indications for the normal reactor ventilation system were removed.No justification or documented modification was found for the removal of the flow indications.
| |
| The final as-built design did not include them and there is no evidence that local flow indication was ever actually installed in the plant.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| For Reload 14, the evaluations included transients and accidents likely to limit operation because of minimum critical power ratio considerations; overpressurization events;loss-of-coolant accident;and stability analysis.Appropriate consideration of equipment-out-of-service was included.Limits on plant operation were established to assure that applicable fuel and reactor coolant system safety limits are not exceeded.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that NMP1 can be safely operated during Reload 14/Cycle 13 and that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| The proposed changes do not increase the probability of occurrence of an accident previously evaluated in the UFSAR, since high-pressure coolant injection (HPCI)system performance was based on the as-built capacities of the motor-driven pumps.The shaft-driven pump does not perform a HPCI function;therefore, the change to the shaft-driven pump rating has no impact on HPCI performance.
| |
| Further, HPCI is not an engineered safeguards system and is not considered in any loss-of-coolant accident analyses.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| The CRDMs are provided by General Electric, the original equipment manufacturer.
| |
| This safety evaluation evaluated a redesign of the inner filter and spud;a change in material to XG-M stainless steel for the construction of the index tube and piston tube assemblies; a change in design of the uncoupling rod and 0-ring spacer;and an upgrade to a multi-port cooling water orifice.These changes were made to improve reliability of the CRD and minimize CRD installation errors.Safety Evaluation Summary: These changes were made to the CRD by General Electric to incorporate plant operating and maintenance experience.
| |
| The changes do not adversely affect the ability of the CRD to scram the reactor in response to signals from the RPS, nor do they adversely affect the ability of the CRDs to control reactivity.
| |
| The results of these changes included increased CRD reliability and minimized installation errors after CRD refurbishment, such that there is continued assurance that the CRD will continue to be able to perform these design functions.

| |
| The expansion chamber is attached to existing support steel and piped into the cavity between isolation valves 110-127 and 110-128.The expansion chamber is flanged to accommodate periodic replacement of the rupture disk.The new valve between the rupture disk and the process piping was locked open after installation was complete.Overpressure protection of the SDC penetrations was provided by adding a bypass line with a flow restricting orifice and a check valve.The new line is used to vent fluid from the isolated penetrations to the upstream side of inboard isolation valve 38-01.The SDC'ater seal ties penetrations X-7 and X-8 together via the common seal piping.This allows the use of a single bypass loop to accommodate thermal expansion in both penetrations.
| |
| The use of a single bypass loop minimizes the loss of seal water through the line.The flow restricting orifice is sized to: 1)pass the flow rate required to offset thermal expansion in both SDC penetrations, 2)maintain the integrity of the SDC water seal, and 3)pass the largest expected debris to preclude plugging.A check valve is installed in the bypass loop to maintain containment and reactor coolant isolation.
| |
| The bypass loop is flanged to allow removal for decontamination.
| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: This modification provides overpressure protection for penetrations X-7, X-8 and X-139.Containment and reactor coolant isolation is still maintained for the SDC bypass line via a check valve.These modifications insure that proper thermal relief is provided as required by Generic Letter 96-06.Appendix J and Section XI requirements are instituted into the physical design of the two changes.The PASS and SDC system configurations meet or exceed the design criteria for the existing systems and the reactor coolant system.

| |
| Revision 1 of this safety evaluation clarified that carbon steel pipe is brittle below-40'F.Safety Evaluation Summary: The proposed activity will be performed during RFO14 when the reactor head is removed and the entire reactor core will be off loaded to the spent fuel pool., With the fuel off loaded and the inner or the outer spent fuel pool gate closed, the fuel is sufficiently protected and cannot be uncovered.
| |
| Additionally, freeze seals have been shown to be effective up to 10,000 psi.Since the fuel is safeguarded and freeze seals have been proven reliable, the probability of fuel damage due to a loss of water inventory is not increased.
| |
| Secondary Containment will be available and implemented if required in accordance with Technical Specifications.
| |
| Although containment isolation is not in effect for this work, maintenance of the water inventory in the reactor cavity, internals storage pit, and spent fuel pool is necessary.
| |
| The freeze seals will perform the vessel isolation function while installed.

| |
| ~~<<<<The UFSAR describes the shroud tie rod lower lateral spring as being in contact with the shroud and the reactor pressure vessel (RPV), and is designed to restrain lateral movement of the shell between welds H5 and H6A via the core plate bolts and wedges, the ring between welds H6A and H6B, and the shell between H6B and H7.For this analysis, the lower lateral spring was presumed not to be in contact with the shroud and RPV and not capable of providing horizontal restraint.
| |
| Lateral movement of the lower shroud is restrained by the remaining ligament of good metal at welds H4 through H7.This modification installed a modified latch design without prior NRC approval of the modification and, therefore, takes no credit for the latch to perform its design basis function.The analysis was performed with the restriction that the reactor remain in the cold shutdown or hot shutdown condition.
| |
| Safety Evaluation Summary: This evaluation analyzed the ability of the tie rod assembly to provide restraint to the shroud differently than that currently described in the UFSAR.The analysis demonstrates that the modified lower wedge latches are not required to perform their intended design basis function during the cold shutdown and hot shutdown condition, i.e., the combination of the structural integrity provided by shroud horizontal welds H4 through H7, and the tie rod components credited in the analysis, has demonstrated that the shroud will perform its design basis functions during noncritical hydro testing above 212 F, and/or control rod drive (CRD)scram time testing with the reactor vessel beltline downcomer water temperature as required to satisfy Technical Specification 3.2.2.e.Compliance with the Technical Specification requires the reactor be considered in the hot shutdown condition.

| This margin is maintained utilizing shroud stabilizer assemblies and horizontal welds as approved in Safety Evaluation 97-103.A bounding crack growth of 5E-5 inches per hour is used to define the next inspection interval.The General Electric analysis has demonstrated that the 5E-5 growth rate is applicable and conservatively bounding for the NMP1 core shroud vertical weld cracking.Crack growth rate is insignificant for the temperature and reactor water chemical conditions during these conditions.
| |
| Even when considered, the resulting crack growth is immeasurable for the required duration of the testing.Allowance is made for crack sizing uncertainty consistent with the NRC-approved BWRVIP-03 requirements.

| |
| This safety evaluation also evaluated operating with CRD drive water pressure less than 250 ps id.Safety Evaluation Summary: Addition of the bases used in the RWE for maximum control rod withdrawal time provides information which can be used to determine operability of a control rod if the stroke time is found out of specification.
| |
| Lowering drive water pressure to compensate for degraded CRD seals or hydraulic control unit leakage is a conservative action which can be used to maintain CRD stroke time within design.The original design and function of the CRD system are unchanged; the ability of the CRD to function as described in the UFSAR is not affected;and the performance requirements as defined in the Technical Specifications are not affected by the proposed change.Based on the evaluation performed, it is concluded that this change does not involve an unreviewed safety question.

| |
| Description of Change: Inspection of the core shroud vertical welds identified intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC)of the vertical welds.The inspections revealed fairly significant cracking on welds V-4, V-9, and V-10;relatively minor cracking on welds V-3, V-12, V-15 and V-16;no cracking on the accessible portions of V-7, V-S, and V-11.Safety Evaluation Summary: The vertical weld cracking has been analyzed and determined to provide the required ASME Section XI margins considering both fracture and limit load mechanisms for the reload condition.
| |
| This margin is maintained with allowance for the following:
| |
| This margin is maintained with no credit for any of the horizontal welds H1 through H7 which are structurally replaced by the shroud stabilizer assemblies.
| |
| A bounding crack growth of 5E-5 inches per hour is used to define the next inspection interval.The General Electric analysis has demonstrated that the 5E-5 growth rate is applicable and conservatively bounding for the NMP1 core shroud vertical weld cracking.Crack growth rate need not be applied for the refueling mode.Allowance is made for crack sizing uncertainty consistent with the NRC-approved BWRVIP-03 requirements.

| All uninspected regions are assumed cracked through wall.

| ==SUMMARY==
| |
| This report is submitted in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50.71(e)entitled"Periodic Updating of Final Safety Analysis Reports" for Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation's (NMPC)Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station-Unit 1 (Unit 1).The Station is located on the southeast shore of Lake Ontario, in Oswego County, New York, 7 mi northeast of the city of Oswego.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR A.PRINCIPAL DESIGN CRITERIA The following paragraphs describing the principal design criteria are oriented toward the twenty-seven criteria issued by the United States Atomic Energy Commission (USAEC).+1.0 General The Station is intended as a high load factor generating facility to be operated as an integral part of the NMPC system.The recirculation flow control system described in Section VIII contributes to this objective by providing a relatively fast means for adjusting the Station output over a preselected power range.Overall reliability, routine and periodic test requirements, and other design considerations must also be compatible with this objective.
| |
| Careful attention has been given to fabrication procedures and adherence to Code requirements.
| |
| The rigid requirements of specific portions of various codes have been arbitrarily applied to some safety-related systems to ensure quality construction in such cases where the complete Code does not apply.For piping, the ASA B31.1-1955 Code was used and where exceptions were taken, safety evaluations were performed to document that an adequate margin of safety was maintained.
| |
| Periodic test programs have been developed for required engineered safeguards equipment.
| |
| These tests cover component testing such as pumps and valves and full system tests, duplicating as closely as possible the accident conditions under which a given system must perform.2.0 Buildings and Structures The Station plot plan, design and arrangement of the various buildings and structures are described in Section III.Principal structures and equipment which may serve either to prevent accidents or to mitigate their consequences are designed, fabricated and erected in accordance with applicable codes to withstand the most severe earthquake, flooding condition, windstorm, ice condition, temperature and other deleterious natural phenomena which can be expected to occur at the site.3.0 Reactor 1~A direct-cycle boiling water system reactor (BWR), described in Section IV, is employed to produce steam (1030 psig in reactor vessel, 956 psig turbine inlet)for use in a steam-driven turbine generator.
| |
| The rated thermal output of the reactor is 1850 MWt.2~The reactor is fueled with slightly enriched uranium dioxide contained in Zircaloy clad fuel rods described UFSAR Revision 14 I-2 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 3~4~in Section IV.Selected fuel rods also incorporate small amounts of gadolinium as burnable poison.I, k To avoid fuel'damage, the minimum critical power ratio (MCPR)is maintained greater than the safety limit CPR.The fuel rod cladding is designed to maintain its integrity throughout the anticipated fuel life as described in Section IV.Fission gas release within the rods and other factors affecting design life are considered for the maximum expected burnup.5.The reactor and associated systems are designed so that there is no inherent tendency for undamped oscillations.
| |
| A stability analysis evaluation is given in Section IV.6.Heat removal systems are provided which are capable of safely accommodating core decay heat under all credible circumstances, including isolation from the main condenser and loss of coolant from the reactor.Each different system so provided has appropriate redundant features.Independent auxiliary cooling means are provided to cool the reactor under a variety of conditions.
| |
| The normal auxiliary cooling means during shutdown and refueling is the shutdown cooling system described in Section X-A.A redundant emergency cooling system, described in Section V-E, is provided to remove decay heat in the event the reactor is isolated from the main condenser while still under pressure.Additional cooling capability is also available from the high-pressure coolant injection (HPCI)system and the fire protection system.7~Redundant and independent core spray systems are provided to cool the core in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA).Automatic depressurization is included to rapidly reduce pressure to assist with core spray operation (see Section VII-A).Operation of the core spray system assures that any metal-water reaction following a postulated LOCA will be limited to less than 1 percent of the Zircaloy clad.Reactivity shutdown capability is provided to make and hold the core adequately subcritical, by control rod action, from any point.in the operating cycle and at any temperature down to room temperature, assuming that any one control rod is fully withdrawn and unavailable for use.UFSAR Revision 14 I-3 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR This capability is demonstrated in Section IV-B.A physical description of the movable control rods is given in Section IV-B.The control rod drive (CRD)hydraulic system is described in Section X-C.The force available to scram a control rod is approximately 3000 lb at the beginning of a scram stroke.This is well in excess of the 440-lb force required in the event of fuel channel pinching of the control rod blade during a LOCA, as discussed in Section XV.Even with scram accumulator failure a force of at least 1100 lb from reactor pressure acting alone is available with reactor pressures in excess of 800 psig.8~9.Redundant reactivity shutdown capability is provided independent of normal reactivity control provisions.
| |
| This system has the capability, as shown in Section VII-C, to bring the reactor to a cold shutdown condition, K~<0.97, at any time in the core life, independent of the control rod system capabilities.
| |
| A flow restrictor in the main steam line (MSL)limits coolant loss from the reactor vessel in the event of a MSL break (Section VII-F).4.0 Reactor Vessel 1~The reactor core and vessel are designed to accommodate tripping of the turbine generator, loss of power to the reactor recirculation system and other transients, and maneuvers which can be expected without compromising safety and without fuel damage.A bypass system having a capacity of approximately 40 percent of turbine steam flow for the throttle valves wide open (VWO)condition partially mitigates the effects of sudden load rejection.
| |
| This and other transients and maneuvers which have been analyzed are detailed in Section XV.2~Separate systems to prevent serious reactor coolant system (RCS)overpressure are incorporated in the design.These include an overpressure scram, solenoid-actuated relief valves, safety valves and the turbine bypass system.An analysis of the adequacy of RCS pressure relief devices is included in Section V-C.3~Power excursions which could reactivity addition accident either by motion or rupture, impair operation of required result from any credible will not cause damage, to the pressure vessel or safeguards systems.UFSAR Revision 14 I-4 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 4~The magnitude of credible reactivity addition accidents is curtailed by control rod velocity limiters (Section VII-D), by a control rod housing support structure (Section VII-E), and by procedural controls supplemented by'rod worth minimizer (RWM)(Section VIII-C).Power excursion analyses for control rod dropout accidents are included in Section XV.The reactor vessel will not be substantially pressurized until the vessel wall temperature is in excess of nil ductility transition temperature (NDTT)+60'F.The initial NDTT of the reactor vessel material is no greater than 40'F.The change of NDTT with radiation exposure has been evaluated in accordance with Regulatory Guide (RG)1.99 Revision 2.Vessel material surveillance samples are located within the reactor vessel to permit periodic verification of material properties with exposure.5.0 Containment 1~The primary containment, including the drywell, pressure suppression chamber, and associated access openings and penetrations, is designed, fabricated and erected to accommodate, without failure, the pressures and temperatures resulting from or subsequent to the double-ended rupture (DER)or equivalent failure of any coolant pipe within the drywell.The primary containment is designed to accommodate the pressures following a LOCA including the generation of hydrogen from a metal-water reaction.Pressure transients including hydrogen effects are presented in Section XV.The initial NDTT for the primary containment system is about-20'F and is not expected to increase during the lifetime of the Station.These structures are described in Sections VI-A, B and C.Additional details, particularly those related to design and fabrication, are included in Section XVI.2~Provisions are made for the removal of heat from within the primary containment, for reasonable protection of the containment from fluid jets'r missiles and such other measures as may be necessary to maintain the integrity of the containment system as long as necessary following a LOCA.Redundant containment spray systems, described in Section VII, pump water from the suppression chamber through independent heat exchangers to spray nozzles which discharge into the drywell and suppression UFSAR Revision 14 I-5 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR chamber.Water sprayed into the drywell is returned by gravity to the suppression chamber to complete the cooling cycle.Studies performed to verify the capability of the containment system to withstand potential fluid jets and missiles are summarized in Section XVI.3~Provision is made for periodic integrated leakage rate tests (ILRT)to be performed during each refueling and maintenance outage.Provision is also made for leak testing penetrations and access openings and for periodically demonstrating the integrity of the reactor building.These provisions are all described in Section VI-F.4~The containment system and all other necessary engineered safeguards are designed and maintained such that, offsite doses resulting from postulated accidents are below the values stated in 10CFR100.The analysis results are detailed in Section XV.5.Double isolation valves are provided on all lines directly entering the primary containment freespace or penetrating the primary containment and connected to the RCS.Periodic testing of these valves will assure their capability to isolate at all times.The isolation valve system is discussed in detail in Section VI-D.6.The reactor building provides secondary containment when the pressure suppression system is in service and serves as the primary containment barrier during periods when the pressure suppression system is open, such as during refueling.
| |
| This structure is described in Section VI-C.An emergency ventilation system (Section VII-H)provides a means for controlled release of halogens and particulates via filters from the reactor building to the stack under accident conditions.
| |
| 6.0 Control and Instrumentation 1~The Station is provided with a control room (Section III-B)which has adequate shielding and other emergency features to permit occupancy during all credible accident situations.
| |
| 2~Interlocks or other protective features are provided to augment the reliability of procedural controls in preventing serious accidents.
| |
| Interlock systems are provided which block or prevent rod withdrawal from a multitude of abnormal conditions.
| |
| The control rod block logic is shown on Figures VIII-6 UFSAR Revision 14 I-6 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR and VIII-8, respectively, for the source range monitor (SRM)and intermediate range monitor (IRM)neutron instrumentation.
| |
| In the power range, average power range monitor (APRM)instrumentation provides both control rod and recirculation flow control blocks, as shown on Figure VIII-14.Reactivity excursions involving the control rods are either prevented or their consequences substantially mitigated by a control RWM (Section VIII-C.4.0) which supplements procedural controls in avoiding patterns of high rod worths, a low power range monitor (LPRM)neutron monitoring and alarm system (Section VIII-C.1.1.3), and a control rod position indicating system (Section IV-B.6.0), both of which enable the Operator to observe rod movement, thus verifying his actions.A control rod overtravel position light verifies that the blade is coupled to a withdrawn CRD.A refueling platform operation interlock is discussed in Section XV, Refueling Accident, which, along with other procedures and supplemented by automatic interlocks, serves to prevent criticality accidents in the refueling mode.A cold water addition reactivity excursion is prevented by the procedures and interlocks described in Section XV, Startup of Cold Recirculation Loop (Transient Analysis).Security (keycard and alarms)and procedural controls for the drywell and reactor building airlocks are provided to ensure that containment integrity is maintained.
| |
| 3~A reliable, dual-logic channel reactor protection system (RPS), described in Section VIII-A, is provided to automatically initiate appropriate action whenever various parameters exceed preset limits.Each logic channel contains two subchannels with completely independent sensors, each capable of tripping the logic channel.A trip of one-of-two subchannels in each logic channel results in a reactor scram.The trip in each logic channel may occur from unrelated parameters, i.e., high neutron flux in one logic channel coupled with high pressure in the other logic channel will result in a scram.The RPS circuitry fails in a direction to cause a reactor scram in the event of loss of power or loss of air supply to the scram solenoid valves.Periodic testing and calibration of individual subchannels is performed to assure system reliability.
| |
| The ability of the RPS to safely terminate a variety of Station malfunctions is demonstrated in Section XV.UFSAR Revision 14 I-7 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 4~Redundant sensors and circuitry are provided for the actuation of all equipment required to function under postaccident conditions.
| |
| This redundancy is described in the various sections of the text discussing system design.7.0 Electrical Power Sufficient normal and standby auxiliary sources of electrical power are provided to assure a capability for prompt shutdown and continued maintenance of the Station in a safe condition under all credible circumstances.
| |
| These features are discussed in Section IX.8.0 Radioactive Waste Disposal 1~Gaseous, liquid and solid waste disposal facilities are designed so that discharge of effluents is in accordance with 10CFR20 and 10CFR50 Appendix I.The facility descriptions are given in Section XII-A while the development of appropriate limits is covered in Section II.2~Gaseous discharge from the Station is appropriately monitored, as discussed in Section VIII, and automatic isolation features are incorporated to maintain releases below the limits of 10CFR20 and 10CFR50 Appendix I.9.0 Shielding and Access Control Radiation shielding and access control patterns are such that doses will be less than those specified in 10CFR20.These features are described in Section XII-B.10.0 Fuel Handling and Storage Appropriate fuel handling and storage facilities which preclude accidental criticality and provide adequate cooling for spent fuel are described in Section X.UFSAR Revision 14 I-8 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR B.CHARACTERISTICS The following is a summary of design and operating characteristics.

| Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR SECTION II STATION SITE AND ENVIRONMENT A.SITE DESCRIPTION 1.0 General The Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station-Unit 1 (Unit 1), owned by Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (NMPC), is located on the western portion of the Nine Mile Point promontory.
| |
| Approximately 300 ft due east is Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station-Unit 2 (Unit 2).The eastern portion of the promontory is comprised of the James A.FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant, owned by the New York Power Authority (NYPA).The site is on Lake Ontario in Oswego County, approximately 5 mi north-northeast of the nearest boundary of the city of Oswego.Figure II-1 shows the Station location on an outline map of the state of New York.It is 230 mi northwest of New York City, 143.5 mi east-northeast of Buffalo, and 36 mi north-northwest of Syracuse.Figure II-2 is a detailed map of the area within about 50 mi of the Station.2.0 Physical Features Figure II-3 is a detailed site map showing Station location;an associated plot plan is presented as Figure III-1 of the following section.Station buildings are situated in the western quadrant of a 200-acre cleared area centrally located along the lakeshore.
| |
| Site property consists of partially-wooded land formerly used almost exclusively for residential and recreational purposes.For many miles west, east, and south of the site the country is characterized by rolling terrain rising gently up from the lake.Grade elevation at the site is 10 ft above the record high lake level, while underlying rock structure is among the most structurally stable in the United States (U.S.)from the standpoint of tilting and folding.There is no record of wave activity, such as seiche or tsunami, of such a magnitude as to make inundation of the site likely.A shore protection dike composed of rock fill from the excavation separates the buildings and the lake.All elevations in this report refer to the United States Land Survey (USLS)1935 data.1.To convert elevations to 1955 International Great Lakes Data (IGLD 1955), subtract 0.375m (1.23 ft).UFSAR Revision 14 II-1 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 2.To convert elevations to 1985 International Great Lakes Data (IGLD 1985), subtract 0.217m (0.71 ft).Exclusion distances for the site are approximately 1 mi to the east, a mile to the southwest, and over a mile to the southern site boundary.3.0 Property Use and Development There are no residences, agricultural or industrial developments (other than the James A.FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant)on the site;all former summer homes and farm buildings have been removed.Site boundaries and the former country road which traverses the site are posted as private property.The area immediately around the Station buildings is fenced, with building access controlled by Station security personnel.
| |
| A visitors'nergy Information Center, manned by NMPC and NYPA personnel, and the Niagara Mohawk Nuclear Learning Center are located about 1,000 ft west of the Station, per Figure II-3.These installations may be reached by the public over private drives maintained by the company.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR B.DESCRIPTION OF AREA ADJACENT TO THE SITE 1.0 General The Station is located on the Lake Ontario coast in the town of Scriba in the north-central portion of Oswego County, approximately 5 mi north-northeast of the nearest boundary of the city of Oswego.1.1 Population Population growth in the vicinity of the Station has been very slow, with the city of Oswego showing a decrease in population.
| |
| The 1960 census enumerated 22,155 residents compared to approximately 19,793 people in 1980.However, county population increased from 86,118 in 1960 to 113,901 in 1980.The total 1980 population within 12 mi of the Station is estimated to be 46,349 (see Figure II-4).This area contains all or portions of one city and ten towns.Population and population density for the ten towns and one city within this area are shown in Table II-1.Counties and towns within this area are shown on Figure II-5.Transient population within 12 mi of the Station is limited due to the rural, undeveloped character of the area.There are, however, a number of school, industrial, and recreational facilities in the area that create small daily and seasonal changes in area populations.
| |
| The population within a 50-mi area surrounding the Station was approximately 914,193 in 1980 (see Figure II-6).The city of Syracuse is the largest population center within this area, with a population of 170,105 in 1980.Table II-2 lists cities within this 50-mi radius with populations over 10,000.The 50-mi radius contains portions of three Canadian Census Divisions located in the province of Ontario: Prince Edward, Frontenac, and Addington/Lennox.
| |
| The 1976 population counts totaled 22,559, 108,052, and 32,633, respectively.
| |
| 2.0 Agriculture, Industrial and Recreational Use 2.1 Agricultural Use The area within a 50-mi radius of the site encompasses all or portions of ten New York counties: Cayuga, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Oswego, Seneca, and Wayne.Approximately 37 percent of the land within this ten-county region is used for agricultural production.
| |
| Tables II-3 and II-4 present agricultural statistics for this ten-county region.2.2 Industrial Use Several industrial establishments are located in Oswego County, with the Alcan Aluminum Corporation and the Independence UFSAR Revision 14 II-3 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR Generation Plant operated by Sithe Energies USA being located nearest to the Station.The lakeshore east of Oswego is the most industrially developed area near the site.The cities of Fulton and Mexico are the only other industrial sites within 15 mi of the site.Two natural gas pipelines lie within 8 km of the plant;one pipeline supplies the Independence Plant and the other supplies Indeck Energy.Both pipelines are located on the north-south and east-west transmission line corridors.
| |

| ~~~~An original 2-yr study was performed to determine the site meteorological characteristics.
| |
| This study is presented in Section XVII-A.The meteorological monitoring system measures parameters to provide data that are representative of atmospheric conditions that exist at all gaseous effluent release points.Meteorological data is compiled for quarterly periods in accordance with the Technical Specifications.
| |
| This data is used to provide information which may be used to develop atmospheric diffusion parameters to estimate potential radiation doses to the public resulting from actual routine or accidental releases of radioactive materials to the atmosphere.
| |
| UFSAR Revision 14 II-5 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR D.LIMNOLOGY A comprehensive research program, designed to monitor various parameters of the aquatic environment in the vicinity of Nine Mile Point, was begun in 1963.This detailed lake program was continued through 1978.Currently, an aquatic ecology study program (closely coordinated with James A.FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant)is conducted in the vicinity of Nine Mile Point on Lake Ontario to monitor the effects of plant operation with respect to selected ecological parameters, and to perform impingement studies on the traveling screens in the intake screenwell.
| |
| This program is carried out and results reported in accordance with the station State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (SPDES)Discharge Permit.UFSAR Revision 14 II-6 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR E.EARTH SCIENCES~~A preconstruction evaluation of the geology, hydrology, and seismology of the Nine Mile Point promontory is presented in Section XVII-C.Subsequent inspection of rock exposed during excavations for the reactor and cooling water tunnels allowed for a more detailed study of subsurface conditions.
| |
| No faults were encountered and no unusual conditions were observed.The structures rest on a firm, almost impervious rock foundation.
| |
| Station seismic design criteria were based upon a conservative evaluation of the maximum earthquake ground motion which might conceivably occur at the site.This condition was calculated by assuming that the worst shock ever observed within an effective range of the site might be located at, the closest position to the site at which an earthquake of any intensity occurred.The"maximum possible" shock assumed for Station structure acceleration calculations is of magnitude 7 at a 50-mi epicentral distance.Dames and Moore estimates that this shock will probably never occur unless unusual regional geologic changes take place.UFSAR Revision 14 II-7 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR F.ENVIRONMENTAL RADIOLOGY Controlled releases of radioactive materials in liquid and gaseous effluents to the environment is part of normal Station operation.
| |
| A Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program ensures that the release rates for all effluents are within the limits specified in 10CFR20 and the release of radioactive material above background to unrestricted areas conforms with Appendix I to 10CFR50.Comprehensive studies were originally conducted to establish the effluent emission rates which would produce the above limiting conditions in the uncontrolled environment.
| |
| Currently, a Radiological Environmental Monitoring Program~, inclusive of Unit 1, is in operation.
| |
| This program details the design objectives for control of liquid and gaseous wastes, including specifications for liquid and gaseous waste effluents,.and specifications for liquid and gaseous waste sampling and monitoring.
| |
| An annual Environmental Operating Report and Semiannual Radioactive Effluent Release Reports are prepared and submitted in accordance with the reporting requirements in the Technical Specifications.

| Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR SECTION III BUILDINGS AND STRUCTURES The structural design of buildings and components is based on the maximum credible earthquake motion outlined in Volume II of the Preliminary Hazards Summary Report (PHSR).Specifically, this maximum motion consists of a magnitude 7 (Intensity IX)shock at an epicentral distance of 50 mi from the site.The maximum ground motion acceleration is 11 percent of gravity and the maximum response acceleration is 45 percent of gravity for oscillations in the period range of 0.2 to 0.3 sec.All critical structures for the Station were subjected to a dynamic response analysis for the determination of maximum stresses in the structure.
| |
| Class I structures and components whose failure could cause significant release of radioactivity, or which are vital to safe shutdown and isolation of the reactor, were designed so that the probability of failure would approach zero when subjected to the maximum credible earthquake motion.(Acceleration response spectrum, Plate C-22, Section III, First Supplement to the PHSR.)Functional load stresses resulting from normal operation when combined with stresses due to earthquake accelerations are within the established working*stresses for the material involved in the structure or component.
| |
| Primary load stresses, when combined with stresses due to temperature and pressure, together with stresses due to earthquake accelerations, are within applicable code or working*values.Class II structures and components were designed for stresses within the applicable codes relating to these structures and components when subjected to functional or operating loads.Stresses resulting from the combination of operating loads and earthquake loads or wind loads have been limited to stresses 33 1/3 percent above working*stresses in accordance with applicable codes.Class III structures and components are those of a service nature not essential for safe reactor shutdown and isolation, and failure of which would not result in significant release of radioactive materials.
| |
| These structures were designed on the basis of applicable building codes with seismic and wind requirements.
| |
| All major components in the Station were classified as above and analyzed to the appropriate degree.Vital fluid containers were analyzed and designed for hydrodynamic pressures resulting from earthquake motion.As a result of deflection determinations,*Also see Section XVI, Subsection G.UFSAR Revision 14 III-1 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR provisions were made for relative motion between adjacent components and structures where damage might result from differential movement and impact stresses.A list of the structures and components reviewed for seismic design is contained on pages III-1, III-2 and III-3 of the First Supplement to the PHSR.Stresses in the various structural members were investigated after the earthquake analysis was completed to verify that stresses are in compliance with those specified in the conventional codes such as those of the American Institute of Steel Construction, American Concrete Institute, and other applicable codes such as the New York State Building Code.All major structures are founded on very substantial Oswego sandstone which exists on the site at an average of 11 ft below grade.This eliminates the potential problems of soil consolidation and differential settlement.

| Figure III-1 is a plot plan showing the relationship of structures.
| |
| UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR A.TURBINE BUILDING 1.0 Design Bases 1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings Exterior loadings for wind, snow and ice used in the design of the turbine building meet all applicable codes as a minimum.The roof and its supporting structure are designed to withstand a loading of 40 psf of snow or ice.The walls and building structure are designed to withstand an external loading of 40 psf of surface area, which is approximately equivalent to a wind velocity of 125 mph at the 30-ft level.1.2 Pressure Relief Design To prevent failure of the superstructure due to a steam line break, a wall area of 1800 ft has been attached with bolts that will fail due to an internal pressure of approximately 45 psf, thus relieving internal pressure.Wall or building structure failure would occur at an internal pressure in excess of 80 psf.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings The turbine building is designed as a Class II structure.
| |
| Components are either Class II or Class I, as outlined on pages-III-1, III-2 and III-3 of the First Supplement to the PHSR.An analysis of the turbine building resulted in the use of the following earthquake design coefficients for the major components.
| |
| Com onent Percent Gravit Comment Feedwater heaters and drain cooler support structures Turbine generator foundation 16.0-20.5 (calculation used: 20.0 horizontal 10.0 vertical)23.4 N-S horizontal 26.7 E-W horizontal Based on specific dynamic analysis Based on specific dynamic analysis Condenser support structure 11.0 horizontal 5.5 vertical Based on specific dynamic analysis For the following components, percent gravity was 20.0 horizontal and 10.0 vertical, based on the Uniform Building Code.UFSAR Revision 14 III-3 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR Steel structure supporting emergency condenser makeup water storage tanks and demineralized water storage tank, and condensate demineralizer (CND)Class I Motor generator (MG)sets for reactor recirculating pump motors 150/35-ton overhead traveling crane Structural anchors supporting main steam, offgas, etc., piping Anchor bolts and associated bases and frame for support of all tanks, filters and pumps as well as electrical equipment.(Power boards, control consoles, etc.)Supports for moisture separators and reheaters Class II Class II Class I Classes I&II Class II Stresses resulting from the functional or operating loads are within applicable codes relating to these structures and components.
| |
| Stresses resulting from the combination of operating loads and earthquake or wind loads have been limited in accordance with applicable codes to a 33 1/3-percent increase in allowable stresses*.
| |
| The adjoining walls of the turbine and reactor building superstructures are structurally separated to provide for dissimilar deformations due to earthquake motion.1.4 Heating and Ventilation Heating and ventilation is provided for equipment protection, personnel comfort and for controlling possible radioactivity release to the atmosphere.
| |
| 1.5 Shielding and Access Control Shielding is provided around much of the equipment to limit dose rates, as described in Section XII.Normal access to the turbine building is provided through the administration building.2.0 Structure Design The turbine building houses the power generation and allied equipment.
| |
| The equipment arrangement and principal dimensions are shown on Figures III-2 through III-11.*Also see Section XVI, Subsection G.UFSAR Revision 14 III-4 June 1996 Nine Mile Point.Unit 1 FSAR 2.1 General Structural Features The poured-in-place reinforced concrete building substructure and turbine generator foundation are founded on firm Oswego sandstone 15 ft to 25 ft below grade.The maximum bearing pressure on the rock, as recommended by consultants, is 40 tons/sq ft.This results in a safety factor of 18 based on actual unconfined compressive strength tests on selected specimens of rock core extracted from test borings.Some of the actual bearing pressures on the confine rock are as follows.Structure Maximum Rock Bearin Pressure Building column piers Crane column piers Walls below grade Turbine generator foundation 27 tons/sq ft 20 tons/sq ft 13 tons/sq ft 24 tons/sq ft The turbine generator foundation is isolated from the floors of the building to minimize transmission of vibration to the floors.This foundation is designed for stability under all conditions of loading, including vertical, horizontal and torque loads, and loads due to temperature changes, piping and seismic forces.Elastic deflection and vertical shortening of members and stresses resulting from such loading were taken into consideration.
| |
| The turbine building superstructure consists of an enclosed structural steel frame.The lower 24 ft of building is covered with 8-in thick insulated precast concrete wall panels.From the 24-ft level to the roof, the building is enclosed with insulated metal wall panels made up of type FK 16 x 16 and FKX 12 x 12 metallic-coated interior liner elements, 1 1/2-in insulation with a minimum density of 2 1/2 pcf and 16 B&S gage F-2 porcelainized aluminum exterior face sheets, all manufactured by H.H.Robertson Company.The roof is covered with metal decking, insulation, and a 4-ply tar roofing material flashed at the parapet walls.An overhead rolling door at the west end of the building provides rail car access into the building.2.2 Heating and Ventilation System The turbine building ventilating system, shown on Figure III-12, is designed to provide filtered and heated air at an approximate rate of one change per hour, corresponding to 170,000 cfm.Two independent air supply systems are provided, each consisting of a fresh air intake, filter, electric heating unit, flow control damper, two fans, dampers and ductwork to distribute air to UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR various areas in the turbine building.Each fan system is capable of supplying one-half of the required air, and either of the two fans in each system is considered an installed spare.The air duct electrical heating units are automatically controlled to maintain the supply air temperature at the desired level.The exhaust air system consists of two full-capacity fans, with one fan considered an installed spare, and connecting ductwork designed to induce flow of air through areas of progressively higher contamination potential prior to final discharge to the stack.An air inlet is located in each room and at each piece of equipment or other place where radioactive contamination in the form of dust, gas or vapor could be released.Ducts from these areas lead to an exhaust air manifold with each duct having a manually set control damper.The radiation protection and laboratory facilities ventilating system, shown on Figure III-13, discharges directly to the turbine building exhaust duct.In case power to the turbine building ventilation system is lost, an alternate outside source of filtered and heated air is available to the laboratory area.This area includes the technician's office, instrument storage room, high level lab, low level lab, counting room, auxiliary counting room and instrument calibration room.A shunt circuit draws air from the exhaust manifold and monitors its airborne radioactivity.
| |
| The circuit is located so that it monitors building air conditions and not the exhaust from equipment vents.High activity causes alarm in the Station control room.The exhaust system discharges into the plenum which also receives air from the containment and other buildings, as shown on Figure VI-24.Backflow from other systems to the turbine building is prevented by interlocks which require valves to be closed if the exhaust fans are not in operation.
| |
| The turbine building atmosphere is automatically controlled at a negative pressure of about 0.1 in of water relative to the outside by modulating the flow control dampers on the air supply systems.This is to control release of contaminated air and prevent out-leakage.
| |
| When the turbine building roof vents are opened during operation, the turbine building differential pressure may approach zero in localized areas.In such cases, supplemental monitoring is instituted to prevent an unmonitored release to the environment.
| |
| Electrical heaters are provided in various areas of the building for auxiliary heat should the ventilation system not be in UFSAR Revision 14 III-6 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR operation for any reason.Water-cooled heat exchanger cooling units are provided in areas surrounding the extraction heaters, moisture separators, condensate circulating pumps and reheaters to dissipate the radiant heat loss from this equipment and to maintain desired temperatures for personnel comfort and equipment protection.
| |
| The cooling water is supplied from the turbine building closed loop cooling water (TBCLCW)system.2.3 Smoke and Heat Removal Smoke and heat removal capability is provided for the three smoke zones on el 250 of the turbine building and the upper elevation of the turbine building.Twelve motor-operated vents are installed in the roof over the turbine generator, and five sidewall vents are installed in the wall at el 351.A fire which produces low heat but a large concentration of smoke will be vented through the roof and sidewall vents.This capability is provided by manual actuation of the motor-operated vents.High heat and high smoke fires will automatically open the roof vents when the fusible link trips.In addition, the railroad access door on el 261 will be remotely opened to assist in smoke purging.2.4 Shielding and Access Control Personnel access into the turbine building is controlled from the administration building at el 248'-0".An elevator for operating personnel serves the entire seven floor levels in the turbine building and is located at H row between column lines 11 and 12 (Figures III-4 through III-9).Stairs are also provided alongside the personnel elevator to serve the seven floor levels.In addition to the main or full-height.
| |
| stairs, stairs are provided at four locations at grade for accessibility to floors above grade, and at seven locations to serve floors below at el 250 and 237.Walls, floors and roofs around equipment containing radioactivity are designed to have concrete thicknesses which significantly reduce radiation levels, as discussed in Section XII.3.0 Safety Analysis The turbine building walls are of noncombustible material consisting of poured-in-place concrete, precast concrete, or insulated metal panels.The turbine room internal roof also consists of noncombustible material.Metal decking spans the steel purlins and is covered with rigid insulation and 4-ply built-up roofing material.All floors are of noncombustible material: either poured concrete or steel grating.Pressure relief to prevent failure of the superstructure due to a steam line break has been provided in the metal wall siding on the north wall of the crane bay (column Row C).UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR A peripheral drain at the exterior of the building provides for the removal of groundwater seepage and discharges into a sump pit with pump at the low point of all the buildings (southwest exterior corner of the reactor building).
| |
| A rock dike 1000-ft long at the shoreline protects the Station from lake wave action or possible ice accumulation.
| |
| The dike is 2 ft higher than yard grade and is constructed of rock from the Station excavation.
| |
| Large rocks face the lake side of the dike and have proven very effective in wave damping and as a barrier to floating ice.The turbine building grade floor at el 261 is 12 ft above maximum lake level (el 249).Poured-in-place concrete foundations enclose the turbine building below grade floor level, and preformed rubber water stops are incorporated in the concrete construction joints for watertightness.
| |
| UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR B.CONTROL ROOM The control room is located in the southeast corner of the turbine building at el 277.It is bounded by the administration building offices on the south and east, the turbine room on the west, and the control room break area, instrumentation and control (I&C)office area, and diesel building on the north.1.0 Design Bases 1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings The wind and snow loadings for the control room are the same as for the turbine building.1.2 Pressure Relief Design There are no special pressure relief requirements for the control room.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings The structural design for the control room, as well as the auxiliary control room below at el 261, is Class I seismic based on the maximum credible earthquake motion outlined in the introduction to Section III.Components are also designed as Class I.The seismic analysis resulted in the application of acceleration factors of 20.0 percent gravity horizontal and 10.0 percent gravity vertical.These acceleration factors were calculated from the dynamic analysis of the turbine building.Although the control room is structurally a part of the turbine building, functional load stresses when combined with stresses due to earthquake loading are maintained within the established working stresses*for the structural material involved.1.4 Heating and Ventilation Heating and air conditioning are provided for personnel comfort and instrument protection.
| |
| The ventilating system also provides clean air to the control room following an accident.1.5 Shielding and Access Control Normal access to the control room is provided from the administration building through security-controlled doors.Shielding is supplied to allow continuous occupancy during any reactor accident.The most limiting accidents are the main steam line (MSL)break accident and the loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA)without core spray, which are described in Section XV.As*Also see Section XVI, Subsection G.UFSAR Revision 14 III-9 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR stated in the First Supplement to the PHSR, personnel in the control room would not receive more than the hourly equivalent of the maximum permissible quarterly radiation dose according to 10CFR20.In addition, the concentration of radioactive materials in the control room during all credible accidents would be within the limits for restricted areas given in Paragraph 20.103 and Table I, Appendix B of 10CFR20.If air outside the building is contaminated, the ventilating system will be controlled to assure that contamination within the control room is minimized and kept within the above limits, as shown in Section 3.0, following.

| 2.0 Structure Design Plans showing location and principal dimensions are shown on Figures III-4, III-5, and III-6.2.1 General Structural Features The structural steel enclosing the control room and the auxiliary control room below is supported on concrete walls and concrete foundations bearing on and keyed into sound rock.Actual rock bearing pressures are less than one-third of the allowable working bearing pressure.Lateral earthquake forces or wind loads are transmitted to the concrete foundations by the combination of structural steel bracing and concrete walls.The control room walls, roof and floors are framed with structural steel.The west and north interior walls are 12-in solid reinforced concrete.The east wall is enclosed with insulated metal wall panels made up of FK-16 x 16 metallic-coated interior liner elements, 1 1/2-in insulation and 16 B 6 S gage F-2 porcelainized aluminum exterior face sheets, as manufactured by H.H.Robertson Company.The wall panel joints are sealed with a synthetic elastomer caulking material.This wall is separated from the administration building extension by a 3-in rattle space.The south interior wall consists of 8-in concrete blocks laid with steel-reinforced mortar joints.An interior metal partition wall parallel to the south wall forms a 6'-6" corridor and is provided with windows for observing the control room operations from the corridor.The slab immediately above the control room at el 300 is pinned to the walls and provides radiation shielding, and consists of 8 1/2-in thick poured-in-place reinforced concrete supported on structural steel beam framing.Two-thirds of this slab area has a roof above at el 333 which is made up of 3-in deep metal decking, 2 in of insulation and a 5-ply roof with slag surface.The remaining third of the slab area provides a shielding roof over the control room and consists of the 8 1/2-in thick poured-in-place reinforced concrete slab to which is applied 1 1/2 in of rigid insulation and a 5-ply roof with slag surface.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR The control room floor is poured-in-place reinforced concrete on 14-gauge metal decking.The gross depth of the floor slab is 8 in and the average depth of concrete is 5 3/4 in.2.2 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System The ventilation system shown on Figure III-14 is designed to provide air at a rate of approximately 16,300 cfm to the control room and auxiliary control room areas.Outside air enters the system through a louvered intake after which it passes through a normal supply isolation damper, which is interlocked with an emergency ventilation inlet damper.The air then passes into the outside air mix damper which is set at 100-percent open position.Outside air is needed to recoup air from leakage and losses.The air is then mixed with recirculated return air from the recirculation damper which is set at 12,750 cfm minimum.The total amount of air (16,300 cfm)will then pass through a two-element dust filter.Next, it passes through a cooling coil where it will be cooled, if necessary, to maintain the control room temperature at approximately 75 F.The cooled air enters the control room circulation fan for distribution to various areas through ducts.Air will circulate through the control room to the return ductwork for recirculation and mixing with additional outside air.In order to prevent infiltration of potentially contaminated air, doors are weatherstripped and penetrations are sealed to maintain a positive pressure of approximately one-sixteenth of an inch of water.In the event of outside air contamination, the normal supply dampers will be automatically closed, and upon a high radiation signal, the emergency inlet dampers will be opened.The outside air will then flow through a 15-kW duct heater and then one of the two full-capacity control room emergency ventilation fans.The design flow range for the control room emergency ventilation system is 2875 cfm+10 percent.This is the air flow range determined to maintain a positive pressure of 0.0625 in W.G.It then passes through a high-efficiency particulate filter and then through a heated activated charcoal filter unit.This air will then join the normal ductwork and enter the outside air mix damper to be circulated by the normal ventilation fan.Heating is provided by thermostatically-controlled ventilation duct heaters.Cooling is provided by two chiller units.Tests and inspections on the control room emergency ventilation filters are done in accordance with Technical Specifications.
| |
| 2.3 Smoke and Heat Removal To assist in maintaining a habitable atmosphere in the control room and auxiliary control room, a smoke purge capability is provided from two independent fans, one 6000-cfm makeup fan and one 8000-cfm exhaust fan (Figure III-14).UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 2.4 Shielding and Access Control Normal personnel access to the control room is provided by three controlled access doors all located on el 277.The north door opens into the control room break area, the south door opens into the administration building, and the west door opens into a corridor, giving access to the administration building at el 277 and also making available the stairway to el 261 of the administration building.In addition to the above, a stair is provided within the control room (northwest corner)down to the auxiliary control room on the ground floor, shown on Figure III-4.In case of a reactor accident, personnel access to or from the control room would be from the southerly extreme of all buildings and approximately 400 ft from the center of the reactor.The walls, roof and floors are designed to have concrete thicknesses which provide shielding during the design basis accident (DBA).3.0 Safety Analysis The control room is designed for continuous occupancy by operating personnel during normal operating or accident conditions.
| |
| Concrete shielding provided in the roof and floors above and in the walls facing the reactor building is more than sufficient to prevent dose rates from exceeding the hourly equivalent of the 10CFR20 quarterly radiation dose.Maintaining positive pressure inside the control room and regulating the filtered outside air supply prevents the concentration of radioactive materials from exceeding the limits of 10CFR20.In addition, supplied air respirators are available in the control room for use if necessary.
| |
| Both normal and emergency lighting are provided in the control room together with communications, air conditioning, ventilation, heating and sanitary plumbing facilities.
| |
| If normal electric power service is not available, provision has been made to power the cooling, ventilating and heating units from the emergency diesel generators.
| |
| Building components and finish materials are noncombustible and combustible materials are not stored in the control room.The minimum distance of the control room to the centerline of the reactor is 330 ft and there are no direct connections from passageways, ventilating ducts or tube connections between the reactor building and the control room.The floor of the control room is 16 ft above yard grade and 28 ft above maximum lake level (el 249).Therefore, the possibility of flooding or inundation is incredible.

| |
| 1.4 Heating and Ventilation Heating and ventilation is provided for personnel comfort, equipment protection and for controlling possible radioactivity release to the atmosphere.
| |
| 1.5 Shielding and Access Control Shielding is provided around tanks and equipment to maintain dose rates as described in Section XII.Normal access to the waste disposal building is from the turbine building.2.0 Structure Design Floor and roof plans, exterior elevations, sections showing interior walls, and architectural details of the building are shown on Figures III-2 through III-6 and Figure III-11.2.1 General Structural Features The poured-in-place reinforced concrete building substructure is founded on firm Oswego sandstone.
| |
| The maximum bearing pressure on the rock as recommended by consultants is 40 tons/sq ft.This results in a safety factor of 18 based on actual unconfined compressive strength tests on selected specimens of rock core extracted from test borings.The building has a flat roof consisting of a cellular metal deck covered with insulation and a bitumen and felt roofing membrane.The exterior facing of the superstructure walls is of sheet metal, attached either to an exterior shielding wall or to insulated cellular sheet metal wall.The interior walls of the*American Association of State Highway Officials.
| |
| UFSAR Revision 14 III-14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR substructure are of cast-in-place concrete and those for the superstructure are either cast-in-place or made of concrete masonry units.With minor exceptions, all structural floors are poured-in-place concrete slabs.The superstructure frame is of fabricated steel.The north section of the basement is divided into three levels.These floors are for the storing of solid radioactive waste in metal drums until it is suitable for offsite shipment to a permanent disposal area.Each of these storage areas is served by a pair of lifts for drums, one being located near each side of the building.The intermediate level floor elevation is for the storage of evaporator bottoms and filter sludge prior to solidification.
| |
| The south section of the basement provides space for the temporary storage, pumping and processing of radioactive liquid waste as described in Section XII.The loading area for receiving empty waste drums and equipment as described in Section XII is located on el 261 (Figure III-4).The designed control for spilled liquid is to allow the fluid to seek a lower level and, thus, be accommodated by the sumps which contain the fluid, and pump it directly to storage tanks.All drainage sumps have smooth linings of steel plate with all joints welded.The waste drum filling area also has a drainage gutter lined with half of a steel pipe.These designs are to facilitate cleanup by preventing contaminated liquids from permeating the concrete shell of the sump pit or gutter.2.2 Heating and Ventilation System The heating and ventilating system, shown on Figure III-15, is designed to supply filtered and heated air at approximately 9,000 cfm and exhaust it after filtration.
| |
| This corresponds to about one change of air per hour.No air is discharged from the building except through the stack.The supply fans, exhaust fans and exhaust filters are provided with full-capacity backups.Either supply fan and either exhaust fan can then be used to operate the system while the other members of the pairs are on standby.Outside air is drawn into the system through a fixed louver housed above the roof of the building and protected by bird and insect screening.
| |
| The air is drawn through a filter designed to remove dust, and an electric heater of 200-kW capacity.The heater is thermostatically controlled to warm the air to maintain at least 70 F in accessible areas.Beyond the heater section the supply duct is split with each half routed through a supply fan of 9,000 cfm capacity.Each fan is isolated in its section of duct by a butterfly valve damper on both inlet and discharge UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR sides.Beyond the fan discharge control dampers, the ducts rejoin into a common manifold from which supply ducts convey fresh air to various areas'of the building.At or near the discharge point of each of these ducts, a manually set damper determines the fraction of air delivered at that particular point.The fresh air supply points are located where the rate of air contamination is lowest while the inlets to the exhaust ducts are located where the rate of contamination is likely to be the highest.An air outlet is located in each room and at each piece of equipment or other place where radioactive contamination in the form of dust, gas or vapor could be released.Ducts from these areas lead to an exhaust air manifold with each duct having a manually set control damper.A shunt circuit draws air from the exhaust manifold and monitors its airborne radioactivity.
| |
| The circuit is located so that it monitors building air conditions and not the exhaust from equipment vents.High activity is alarmed in both the waste building control room and the Station main control room.Beyond this point, the exhaust duct divides into two full-sized parts, each of which contains a roughing filter followed by a high-efficiency filter and an exhaust fan as shown on Figure III-15.Butterfly valves in the ducts, before the filters, between filters and fans, and following the fans determine which of the alternate routes the exhaust will take and regulate the amount of air exhausted.
| |
| From here on, the ducts are reunited and discharge to the plenum leading to the stack.Backflow from other systems is prevented by interlocks which require valves to be closed if the exhaust fans are not in operation.
| |
| Each high-efficiency particulate filter in the exhaust system has a minimum removal efficiency of 99.97 percent based on the 0.3 micron"DOP" (dioctylphthalate smoke)test.Supplementing this exhauster system is a 300-cfm capacity auxiliary system, which exhausts air directly from the hydraulic baler through a roughing filter and a high-efficiency filter by means of a small exhauster fan, and discharges directly into the ventilation breaching.
| |
| Also, a 5000-cfm capacity auxiliary system exhausts directly from the drum filling area through a roughing filter by means of a small exhauster fan, and discharges to the exhaust duct of the building ventilating system.Equipment vents and the sample Station hood discharge directly to the exhaust duct.Supplementing the heat supplied by the main intake air heater, small heating units are provided locally to maintain desired temperatures for comfort of personnel and protection of equipment.
| |
| UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR The ventilation system for the waste building extension is shown on Figure III-16.One of two full-capacity exhaust fans draws air at a rate of 5400 cfm from the waste building and distributes the air through ductwork to the various equipment rooms within the waste building extension.
| |
| The air that passes through the system is discharged to the stack.2.3 Shielding and Access Control Normal personnel access to the waste disposal building is from the turbine building through the waste disposal control room.Access doors from the turbine building are also located near the baler room.Access is also available through the truck loading bay located at the northeast, corner of the building.All access to the building is at grade level as shown on Figure III-4.All levels are accessible by steel stairways from the grade floor and an emergency ladderway exit is provided for those parts of the drum storage area which are remote from the stairs.Hatches are provided for access to equipment.
| |
| Concrete thicknesses for both walls and floors are established to provide the degree of radiation shielding of radioactive waste adjacent to the shielded area.The reinforced concrete substructure completely isolates the basement and serves as shielding for adjoining basement areas.Each item or group of closely associated items of equipment is housed in a separate room, surrounded by concrete shielding walls of appropriate thickness to provide adequate protection to operating personnel as determined by the anticipated intensity of radiation and time duration of exposure.The waste disposal building control room is completely surrounded by shielding walls and with access so arranged that the room will be accessible at all times.3.0 Safety Analysis The design and construction of the waste building has provided for all foreseeable conditions and loads.All structural material used is noncombustible and accumulation of combustible material is carefully avoided.As outlined in the detailed description of the structure, provision has been made that, should some unforeseen condition or accident release contaminated waste, the hazard would be localized and the size of the cleanup and decontamination job restricted.
| |
| All tanks are made of ductile metal and all sump pits are lined so that these containers can be subjected to substantial distortion without rupture.The two rooms for the centrifuges on the grade floor are surrounded by heavy walls which serve a dual purpose by providing UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR both radiation and mechanical shielding.
| |
| ln the extremely unlikely event that the centrifuge should suffer a mechanical failure, it would be contained within the room and prevent injury to operating personnel or damage to tanks, piping, pumps or other equipment outside the room.The substructure is massive reinforced concrete, not.subject to fracturing.

| |
| The layout of the TSC and its proximity to the control room is shown on Figure III-5.This level is also used for storage, additional office space, and entrance to the turbine building and personnel locker room.UFSAR Revision 14 III-23 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR The ground floor (el 261)is divided into three parts.One of these is assigned to Station stores.The remaining two are assigned to shops.The balance of the ground floor contains an ante room and a foyer for the stairway and elevator to the general offices on the second floor.The room for equipment and materials which produce fire extinguishing foam is also in this area.On the upper level (el 277)are the stair, elevator lobby, restrooms, offices, conference rooms, and a satellite document control station.Document control, microfilming facilities, and the record storage facility, in accordance with ANSI N45.2.9-5(6), are located at Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station-Unit 2 (Unit 2).1.2.2 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Ventilation for the administration building and the administration building extension is provided as follows.One self-contained rooftop air conditioning unit, one supply fan, three exhaust fans, and associated ductwork and equipment provide ventilation to the original administration building.Five supply fans, associated ductwork and equipment supply air to the administration building extension.

| UFSAR Revision 14 III-24 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 2.0 Sewage Treatment Building The new sewage treatment facility (STF), which utilizes part of the existing STF, is located in the vicinity of railroad track spur no.3 that was removed for construction, approximately 300 ft northwest of the turbine building and due west of the north end of the reactor building as shown on Figure III-1.The site was selected based on review of available areas outside the flood plain for a Unit 2 10,000-yr flood year flood (rain).The existing STF was modified to function as a raw sewage pump station and an equalization tank for the new STF.The control building for the new STF is located between and to the south of the circular extended aeration units.The control building houses a new laboratory, a motor control center (MCC), blower room, storage room, maintenance room and hypochlorite room, as well as an influent/effluent room.Normal access to the treatment units is from inside the control building's influent/effluent room.Maintenance and emergency access to the treatment unit may be from outside access doors on each tank.2.1 Design Bases 2.1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings The wind loadings for the sewage treatment building are the same as for the turbine building.The snow loading for the building roof is 14 lb/ft~.2.1.2 Pressure Relief Design There are no special pressure relief requirements for this building.2.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings The sewage treatment building is designed as a Class III structure with no special seismic criteria.The system conforms to state regulations for sewage systems.2.1.4 Electrical Design In certain areas of the building, electrical components are protected by explosion-proof enclosures.
| |
| 2.1.5 Fire and Explosive Gas Detection Automatic fire detection equipment is provided in the STF.The fire detection equipment actuates alarms on local fire panels in the STF which informs personnel of fire location.Automatic gas detection equipment is provided for chlorine, and for methan and other explosive gases.The detection equipment actuates an alarm bell and warning lights inside and outside the STF.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR Both systems are provided for personnel safety and equipment protection.
| |
| 2.1.6 Heating and Ventilation Heating and ventilation is provided for equipment protection and personnel comfort in accordance with the required codes.2.1.7 Shielding and Access Control Shielding is not required.2.2 Structure Design 2.2.1 General Structural Features The sewage treatment plant will provide secondary treatment and disinfection for a minimum flow of 10,000 gal/day and a peak flow of 240,000 gal/day.Wastewater flows by gravity from Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station-Unit 1 (Unit 1)facilities, the Energy Information Center (EIC), the Nuclear Learning Center (NLC), and Unit 2 to the existing Unit 1 sewage treatment plant building and associated preliminary treatment facilities.
| |
| After preliminary treatment, the flow is pumped to the extended aeration units.Flow through the remainder of the plant is by gravity.Discharge from the plant is through a 12-in outfall sewer to a drainage ditch leading to Lake Ontario.Flow measurement is available and is recorded on stripcharts.
| |
| Raw sewage will pass through a comminutor to shred large solids.Two comminutors are provided, each capable of treating flows up to 300,000 gal/day.In the event of failure of both comminutors, a bypass hand-cleaned bar screen is provided to protect the raw sewage pumps from large solids.Raw sewage is then pumped to the new treatment facilities.
| |
| Pumping after preliminary treatment minimizes the need for rock excavation for downstream treatment units.A 4-in and 6-in dual-force main is used to meet the anticipated flow range of 35,000 gal/day to 240,000 gal/day.A three-pump raw sewage station is utilized with two pumps operating and the third pump acting as an installed standby.Wastewater pumped to the new treatment facilities will enter a flow distribution structure and will be split equally by weirs to two extended aeration units.Each unit contains two equally-sized basins of 2800 cu ft, while affording maximum control and operational flexibility.
| |
| At double outage design conditions, two units each with two basins of this size would provide an average hydraulic detention time of approximately 17 hr with an average organic loading of about 18 lb biological oxygen demand (BOD)per day per 1000 cu ft of tank volume.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR The aeration system for the activated sludge process is a coarse-bubble diffused air system.A total of three air blowers (including standby)are provided, having a total capacity of 700 scfm.These blowers will provide approximately 3200 cu ft of aeration air per pound.The mix liquor is then sent to the activated sludge settling tank where the sludge solids are separated.
| |
| This produces a well-clarified effluent low in BOD and suspended solids.Each treatment unit.contains an 18-ft diameter clarifier with 12-ft side water depth.These tanks are center feed clarifiers with radial outward flow.At double outage design conditions, the tanks will have an overflow rate of 240 and 470 gal/day/sq ft at average peak flows, respectively.
| |
| Scum is to be removed from the surface of the final settling tanks by a rotary wiper arm.Scum from the surface of the settling tank is drawn over a short inclined beach and is discharged to a scum trough.The scum is then flushed to a scum well from which it is air lifted to the aerated sludge holding tanks.To maintain the activated sludge in an active condition, final sludge is removed from the settling tanks continuously.
| |
| Sludge withdrawn from the final settling tanks is returned to the aeration tanks at a rate to maintain a constant mixed liquor suspended solids and solids retention time in the aeration tanks and to avoid excessive sludge depths in the settling tanks.Return sludge air lifts are used to return sludge to the head of the aeration tank.Excess sludge solids will be wasted from the settling tanks and air lifted to aerated sludge holding tanks to be concentrated prior to sludge dewatering.
| |
| Hypochlorite is used for disinfection of the final effluent at the new treatment facilities.
| |
| Each treatment unit includes a separate chlorine contact zone of 170 cu ft which provides 15 min detention time and contact at the peak flow of 240,000 gal/day.Each treatment unit contains an aerated sludge holding tank of approximately 2000 cu ft each.At double outage design flows, these tanks provide in excess of 30 days sludge storage.Each treatment unit is furnished with an aluminum geodesic dome cover for winterization protection.
| |
| Each dome is equipped with two skylights and one gravity vent to provide natural lighting and ventilation.
| |
| The walls of the treatment units are extended to support the domes and provide a workable clear headroom height along the interior circumference of the treatment unit.The domes are designed to be removable as a complete unit.2.2.2 Ventilation System The STF is air conditioned and electrically heated.Unit air conditioners in the lab room only and heating coils for ventilation air are located throughout the facility where required.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 2.2.3 Access Control The equipment house has no windows except in certain doors and a lock on the door prevents access by unauthorized personnel.

| 3.0 Energy Information Center The EIC is a single-story flat-roofed structure located on a slight promontory 1000 ft west and slightly south of the Station (Figure III-1).3.1 Design Bases 3.1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings Exterior loadings for wind, snow, and ice used in design of the EIC meet all applicable codes as a minimum.The roof and its supporting structure are designed to withstand a loading of 40 psf of snow or ice.The walls and building structure are designed to withstand an external or internal loading of 40 psf of surface area, which is approximately equivalent to a wind velocity of 125 mph at the 30-ft level.3.1.2 Pressure Relief Design There are no special pressure relief requirements for the EIC.3.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings The EIC and components are designed as Class III structures with no special seismic criteria.The following design live loads were used in addition to the dead loads: Live load on stairways and all public areas except restrooms 100 psf.Live load on all other floor areas including the classroom, offices and conference room-60 psf.Allowable bearing pressure on undisturbed soil foundations of 1.5 tons/sq ft.Stresses in steel construction are those allowed by the AISC 1963 Specifications for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of Structural Steel for Buildings when using ASTM A36 Structural Steel.Stresses in concrete construction are those allowed by the ACI 318-63 Standard for 3000 psi concrete with intermediate grade new billet steel A-15.UFSAR Revision 14 III-28 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 3.1.4 Heating and Ventilation Heating and ventilation is provided for personnel comfort.3.1.5 Shielding and Access Control No radioactivity is contained in or near the building;therefore, no shielding is required.3.2 Structure Design 3.2.1 General Structural Features As shown on Figure III-1, the principal part of the building is in the form of a regular hexagon with sides 56-ft long.A wing of irregular shape but approximately 96-ft long by 36-ft and 45 1/2-ft wide extends to the west.The lobby occupies the full width of the southwest portion of the principal part of the building.To the rear of the lobby are a small theater, a room for a model of the Station and a room for various exhibits.The building's core, central to these rooms, contains a storage room, a projection room for the theater and stairs for access to the basement.Public restrooms and a women's lounge are located in the wing and adjoin the lobby on the left.The wing also contains a classroom, a conference room, offices, a central corridor, an extension of the main lobby and three secondary entrances to the building.The EIC building has a structural steel frame resting on a concrete substructure.
| |
| Its exterior curtain walls are of concrete block with a veneer of native stone, trimmed with redwood, and well insulated.
| |
| Interior walls are plastered metal or gypsum lath on steel studding.The roof is comprised of a bituminous waterproofing membrane on rigid insulation which is carried by metal roof decking and open web steel joist purlins, which are in turn supported by rolled steel girders and fascia beams.A concrete slab, hexagonally shaped in plan, about 30 ft in diameter and 4-in thick is centrally located on the roof to serve as a platform for the air conditioning condensers.
| |
| 3.2.2 Heating and Ventilation System The EIC is air conditioned and electrically heated.Compressors, heat exchangers, heating coils for ventilation air and other mechanical equipment are located in equipment rooms in the basement.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 3.2.3 Access Control Access to the EIC is from a separate road than that leading to the rest of the Station.Each room to which the public will be admitted has doors of ample width to the rooms adjoining on either side and, in addition, the theater and the model room each has its own exit door to the outside of the building.All these provide ample egress from any area for any conceivable emergency.

| UFSAR Revision 14 III-30 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR F.SCREENHOUSE, INTAKE AND DISCHARGE TUNNELS 1.0 Screenhouse The screenhouse adjoins the north wall of the reactor and turbine buildings and its superstructure is completely isolated from the reactor building.1.1 Design Basis 1.1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings The wind and snow loadings for the screenhouse are the same as for the turbine building.1.1.2 Pressure Relief Design There are no special pressure relief requirements for the screenhouse.
| |
| 1.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings The screenhouse substructure has been designed to conform to the requirements for a Class I structure while loaded with any possible combination of filled and unwatered conditions of the channels located in this substructure.
| |
| The superstructure is designed as a Class II structure as discussed on Page III-3 of the First Supplement to the PHSR.The seismic analysis resulted in the application of acceleration factors of 20.0 percent gravity horizontal and 10.0 percent gravity vertical.1.1.4 Heating and Ventilation No heating, cooling or ventilation is provided for the screenhouse.
| |
| 1.1.5 Shielding and Access Control No shielding is required.Normal access to the screenhouse is through the turbine building.1.2 Structure Design The superstructure of the screenhouse is of framed structural steel supported on a reinforced concrete substructure which is founded on rock.The building has a flat roof consisting of cellular metal decking covered with insulation and a tar and felt roofing membrane.The two bays of the east wall, which are a continuation of an east wall of the turbine auxiliaries building extension, are of the same insulated sheet metal construction.
| |
| The balance of the exterior wall, about 7/8 of the total, is of 8-in internally-insulated precast concrete panels corresponding with those in the base of the reactor building walls.Wall and UFSAR Revision 14 III-31 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR roofing material and construction are identical with those used for the reactor and turbine buildings.
| |
| The screenhouse substructure comprises channels for the flow of very large quantities of raw lake water, gates and stop logs for control of the flow, racks and screens for cleaning the water and pumps.The water channels are shown schematically on Figures III-19 and III-20.Five plain vertical gates near the north end of the substructure separate the channels from the tunnels.Gates A and B separate the intake tunnel from the forebay.Gate C separates the discharge channel from the discharge tunnel;gate E separates the discharge channel from the intake tunnel;and gate D separates the forebay from the discharge tunnel.Each of gates A, B, C, and D has a dedicated electric motor-driven hoist for raising, lowering, and maintaining position of the gates.Gate E is operated using a hydraulic ram system.Normal circulation is provided by opening gates A, B, and C with gates D and E closed.Reversed flow through the tunnels is obtained by closing gates A, B and C with gates D and E open.Tempering (partial recycle flow)is obtained by partially opening gate E with all other gates set for normal operation.
| |
| The forebay and the secondary forebay are connected by three parallel cool water channels, in each of which are located trash racks, rack rakes and traveling screens to remove trash, water plants and fish from the water.Each of these channels has provisions for stop logs at each end so that any one of them may be segregated and unwatered for maintenance work without shutting down the Station.On the floor above the secondary forebay are mounted four containment spray raw water pumps and two emergency service water (ESW)pumps with a strainer for each.Also on this floor and above each of the three cool water channels are the screen wash pumps.Adjacent to the secondary forebay, on its south side and separated from it by channels fitted with stop log guides, are inlet chambers for the two circulating water pumps which provide water to the main condensers.
| |
| By means of stop logs, either of these chambers can be isolated for unwatering and work on the corresponding pump.A lateral branch leads off to the east from the secondary forebay.Three chambers off this branch, separated from it by sluice gates, supply water to each of two service water pumps with strainers and a pair of fire pumps.One of these fire pumps is driven by an electric motor, the other by a diesel engine.The screenhouse is also equipped with a floor-operated electric overhead traveling bridge crane.This crane serves the various functions of placing and removing stop logs, and servicing the trash racks, rack rakes and traveling screens, maintenance of the two circulating water pumps and all pumps mounted above the secondary forebay.The service water pumps, their strainers, and the fire pumps are serviced for maintenance work by overhead beam runs, trolleys and hoists.UFSAR Revision 14 III-32 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 2.0 Intake and Discharge Tunnels As shown on Figure III-21, water is drawn from the bottom of Lake Ontario about two-tenths of a mile offshore and returned to the lake about one-tenth of a mile offshore.2.1 Design Bases The water intake and discharge tunnels are designed to conform to the requirements for Class II structures.
| |
| The intake and discharge tunnels are concrete-lined bores through solid rock.As such, they are highly rigid structures with extremely small natural periods of vibration and a seismic response of only 11 percent of gravity regardless of the damping factor.2.2 Structure Design Water is admitted to the intake tunnel through a bellmouth-shaped inlet.The inlet is surmounted by a hexagonally-shaped guard structure of concrete, the top of which is about 6 ft above the lake bottom and 14 ft below the lowest anticipated lake level.The structure is covered by a roof of sheet piling supported on steel beams, and each of the six sides has a water inlet about 5-ft high by 10-ft wide, with the latter openings guarded by galvanized steel racks.This design provides for water to be drawn equally from all directions with a minimum of disturbance and with no vortex at the lake surface, and guards against.the entrance of unmanageable flotsam to the circulating water system (CWS).The water drops through a vertical concrete-lined shaft to a concrete-lined tunnel in the rock, through which it flows to the foot of a concrete-lined vertical shaft under the forebay in the screenhouse.
| |
| The foot of this shaft contains a sand trap to catch and store any lake-bottom sand which may wash over the sills of the inlet structure.
| |
| The top of the shaft has a bell-mouthed discharge.
| |
| Water is returned to the lake at a point about one-tenth of a mile offshore through a bell-mouthed outlet surmounted by a hexagonal-shaped discharge structure of concrete.The top of this structure is about 4 ft above lake bottom and 8 1/2 ft below the lowest anticipated lake level.The geometry of the structure closely resembles the inlet structure, although reduced in size.The six exit ports are about 3 ft high by 7 1/3 ft wide.The discharge'tunnel from the screenhouse is identical in cross-section with the intake tunnel.The vertical shaft connecting the discharge tunnel with the discharge channel under the screenhouse also has a sand trap at its foot.Water is discharged directly to the vertical discharge shaft.A submerged diffuser in the vertical shaft ensures a good dilution before discharge to the lake.Samples are drawn at a lower point in the shaft.UFSAR Revision 14 III-33 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 3.0 Safety Analysis The selection and arrangement of equipment and components of the screenhouse and circulating water tunnels is based on the knowledge gained over many years of experience in the design, construction and operation of such facilities for coal-fired steam-electric stations.All components of the system which might possibly be subject to unscheduled outage, and by such outage affect the operability of the Station, are duplicated.
| |
| In the case of the duplicate fire pumps, the prime movers are also totally independent.
| |
| The gates are simple and rugged in construction, and their operation is simple and straightforward, with the possibility of inadvertent erroneous operation cut to a minimum.The pump suctions are amply submerged below the lowest low water surface elevation of the lake surface adjusted for the friction and velocity drops in the supply tunnel and channels.The supply of water by direct gravity from the lake is inexhaustible.
| |
| The main portion of the superstructure, a single-story structure elastic frame of one bay width, has a relatively long natural period of vibration, and being bolted has a comparatively high damping factor.As a result, the dynamic loads which could be applied to it by wind pressure and also operation of the crane are more critical than those due to the seismic loading.Thus, while no dynamic analysis of the framing was required or made, it is quite probable that the building superstructure meets Class I conditions instead of only Class II, as specified in the First Supplement to the PHSR.Shearing forces in the walls and in the bottom chord plane of the roof truss system are resisted by systems of diagonal bracing.The sizes of the members of these systems were governed by detail and minimum allowable slenderness rather than by calculated forces, which resulted in excess strength being available in the system.UFSAR Revision 14 III-34 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR G.STACK The stack is a freestanding reinforced-concrete chimney, 350-ft high, located 100 ft east of the northeast corner of the reactor building.1.0 Design Bases 1.1 General The height of the stack and the velocity of discharge are to provide a high degree of dilution for routine or accidental Station effluents.
| |
| This is discussed on Page IV-8 of the First Supplement to the PHSR.1.2 Wind Loading Analysis shows that the loads due to seismic action are considerably greater than those which would be exerted by the velocity of wind for which the other Class I structures are designed: 125 mph at the 30-ft level.Since this is true for all levels of the stack (wind velocities and pressures varying according to elevation aboveground), lateral loads due to seismic forces govern the design.1.3 Seismic Design The design and construction of the stack meet the seismic requirements of a Class I structure.
| |
| Seismic forces applied are those obtained from the velocity and acceleration response spectra included in the First Supplement of the PHSR for a ground motion acceleration factor of 11 percent of gravity (Plate C-22).1.4 Shielding and Access Control Shielding is required for the offgas and gland seal exhaust piping.Access is provided for inspection and maintenance during shutdown.2.0 Structure Design The general features of the stack, including its principal dimensions, are shown on Figure III-22.It is a tapered monolithic reinforced-concrete tube resting on a massive concrete base which extends to sound rock.From this base it rises through the turbine auxiliaries building extension from which it is completely isolated structurally.
| |
| The top of the stack is at el 611, or 212 ft 6 in above the top of the reactor building, the next highest structure in the Station.After filtration, all Station ventilation exhaust which is radioactively contaminated is brought to the stack through UFSAR Revision 14 III-35 June 1996 Nine Mile Point.Unit 1 FSAR breaching, which is connected above the roof of the surrounding building.Two pipes, 6 in and 12 in in diameter, bring radioactively contaminated gases and vapors from the turbine shaft seals and from the condenser.
| |
| These pipes enter the stack below the grade floor and turn up through encasing concrete to a terminal point at el 335, which is 20 ft above the top of the breaching entrance to the stack.At this point turbulence is high, which ensures best mixing and dilution of the contaminated gases.An>>Isokinetic Probe" gas sampler is located within the stack with its orifices at el 535, or 76 ft below the top of the stack.This device is supported by a beam which spans the interior of the stack and cantilevers outside to facilitate withdrawal of the device for cleaning and maintenance.
| |
| An opening is provided in the stack wall through which the device is installed.
| |
| This opening is a 16-in diameter pipe sleeve with its outer end closed by a blind flange.A smaller adjoining opening makes it possible to measure the gas velocity profile in the stack or to visually inspect the probe without withdrawing it.The probe is connected to monitoring equipment located near the base of the stack by tubing which descends inside the stack.Access to the interior of the stack is through an airtight door from the basement of the surrounding building.Exterior access to the top of the stack and to four external platforms is from the roof of the building by means of a guarded ladder.At the probe level a small platform provides access and working area.Three other platforms completely surround the stack which provide access for external maintenance and painting of the stack.The stack is protected by four lightning rods and down conductors which are interconnected at the top, middle and bottom of the stack, then connected to the Station grounding grid.The structural reinforcing steel, platforms and ladder are in turn grounded by attachment to this system.The top of the stack is, in effect, an 8-ft 6-in inside diameter nozzle.For normal gas flows of 216,000 cfm, the corresponding velocity of the discharge jet is 63 fps.This relatively high velocity assures that the turbulence generated will thoroughly mix, dilute and disperse the discharged gas even at times of low wind velocity.3.0 Safety Analysis 3.1 Radiology If during normal operation the stack were to be inoperative, there would be no serious radiological consequences for a period of time depending on the level of activity being released.If the stack were to remain inoperative for a significant length of time, the reactor would be shut down to prevent exceeding 10CFR20 UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR limits.Exfiltration cases involving an inoperative stack are discussed in Section XV.3.2 Stack Failure Analysis In the event that portions,~of the stack strike the plant, structural analysis indicated that the stack would topple with approximately the upper 3/4 (280 ft)intact.As a structural element the stack is weak in circumferential bending.This means that the stack cross-section would flatten to out-of-round or oval when it struck, spread the load over a larger area than had it remained circular, and absorb energy in doing so.Since the stack is strong longitudinally, it would tend to span openings or span from girder to girder.The consequences of the stack striking the plant have been evaluated by what is believed to be the three most critical directions (see Figure III-23).1.Southwest, striking the reactor building 2.South, striking the diesel generator building 3.Northwest, striking the screen and pump house 3.2.1 Reactor Building A considerable amount of energy would be absorbed as the stack fell through the braced walls, the roof trusses and the crane girders.With the above considerations taken into account, it is unlikely that the stack would penetrate the bottom of the fuel pool or the shield plugs over the reactor.The worst conditions would occur if one or both of the emergency cooling systems were damaged.Since the emergency cooling return lines are equipped with check valves, the only flow path would be out the supply lines to the emergency cooling system.The isolation valves in this line will automatically close on high flow in the line.High temperature in the vicinity of the line and high radiation are alarmed in the control room, resulting in manual closure of the isolation valves.Because of the angular separation between the diesel generator and the reactor building, the diesel area would not be affected by failure of the stack in the direction of the reactor building.The battery room is outside the reach of the stack regardless of the direction in which the stack is assumed to fall.Should they be needed, all sources of electric power remain available to safeguard systems.Adequate protection is therefore afforded in this case.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR 3.2.2 Diesel Generator Building Failure of the stack in the southerly direction could damage the diesel generators.
| |
| Since the control room is 350 ft from the stack and the upper 3/4 of the stack is approximately 280 ft, it is highly improbable that the control room would be damaged.If failure were in the southerly direction, the reactor building would not be damaged.Normal sources of electric power would be available to conduct a safe shutdown.3.2.3 Screen and Pump House If the stack fell due north, the diesel fire pumps, the diesel generator cooling water pumps, and associated piping systems could become inoperative.
| |
| If the stack fell within the northwest quadrant, the containment spray raw water, circulating water and service water pumps, as well as the lines from the diesel fire pumps, could be damaged.However, safe shutdown could still be afforded by use of the normal supplies of electric power and the emergency cooling system.UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR H.SECURITY BUILDING AND SECURITY BUILDING ANNEX The security building and security building annex are located on the southwest corner of the Station security perimeter.
| |
| See Figure III-1.The principal function of these buildings is to monitor controlled ingress and egress of personnel and equipment to the Station security perimeter.
| |
| Administrative offices are contained within these buildings for support of the duties associated with Station security.Because of the nature of this subject, a detailed description of these buildings will not be discussed in this document.For additional information regarding this subject, refer to the Station security plan.UFSAR Revision 14 III-39 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR I.RADWASTE SOLIDIFICATION AND STORAGE BUILDING 1.0 Design Bases 1.1 Wind and Snow Loadings Wind and snow loadings for the radwaste solidification and storage building (RSSB)are designed to meet or exceed those of the waste disposal building.1.2 Pressure Relief Design There are no special pressure relief requirements for this building.1.3 Seismic Design and Internal Loadings+The foundation mat, structural walls, columns, floors and roof of the RSSB are classified as primary structural elements.All primary structural elements are seismically designed to withstand the effects of an operating basis earthquake (OBE)in accordance with Regulatory Guide (RG)1.143.Secondary structure elements, including platforms, catwalks, pipe supports, equipment and vessel supports, and internal masonry walls, are classified as nonseismic-resistant items and are designed by conventional method.1.4 Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning+
| |
| The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC)and chilled water systems are designed for the following primary functional requirements:
| |
| heat, ventilate and air condition the RSSB;remove airborne particulates from the RSSB atmosphere; prevent unfiltered exfiltration of airborne radioactivity from the building;prevent infiltration of airborne radioactivity into the RSSB control room and electrical room;control and provide a means for monitoring (via the main stack)the release of airborne radioactivity via the ventilation exhaust system;minimize the effects on the facility and its occupants from releases of radioactivity into the RSSB atmosphere; collect and filter air displaced via the vents from all RSSB tanks containing radioactive fluids;continuously purge the RSSB of truck exhaust fumes and other hazardous gases to ensure safe occupancy at all times.1.5 Shielding and Access Control@Shielding is designed to limit radiation levels on the building exterior, in the control room, in the electrical room, stairwells, and the passageway to the truck bays.Access to the exterior of the RSSB is controlled by access to the protected area, which is controlled by Nuclear Security.Normal UFSAR Revision 14 III-40 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR access to the building interior is via the waste building extension.
| |
| Two exterior rollup doors allow access for vehicles to the two truck bays.Four exterior doors are normally locked and provide emergency egress.2.0 Structure and Design Floor and roof plans and sections showing interior walls are shown on Figures III-3 through III-8.2.1 General Structural Features<'>
| |
| The RSSB is located to the east of, and is adjacent to, the existing offgas building, waste disposal building, and waste building extension of Unit 1.The arrangement of the RSSB can be considered as follows: process, handling and storage areas.This section is rectangular in shape and approximately 277 ft long below grade, 330 ft long above grade (north-south), and 61 ft wide (east-west).
| |
| The majority of the primary structural components are reinforced concrete.The foundation mat is generally founded on top of bedrock.The finish grade and truck entrance and exit openings are at el 261'-0".The roof elevation is located at el 301'-2 1/2", with the material handling crane running longitudinally underneath the roof at el 292'-6 1/2".With the exception of a few feet around the perimeter, the crane can service the entire interior area of this section.Those portions of the RSSB which are classified as seismic-resistant elements are designed to maintain their structural integrity during and after all credible design loading phenomena, including OBE.Those items which are classified as seismic-resistant elements are the foundation base mat, structural concrete walls, floors and roof.Nonseismic-resistant structural elements are designed to maintain their structural function for all anticipated, credible design loading conditions encountered during construction, testing, operation, and maintenance of the facility.Those compartments containing large tanks (over 2,000 gal)of radioactive liquids are lined with steel to contain 1.5 tank volumes in the event of a tank rupture during a seismic event.During normal operation, maintenance, and loading and unloading operations, the structure provides sufficient environmental isolation to ensure that the exposure of plant operating personnel and the general public to radiation is ALARA.2.2 Heating, Ventilation and Air'Conditioning+
| |
| Fresh air is filtered and conditioned and supplied to the control and electrical rooms, which are maintained at a slightly positive pressure with respect to other areas of the RSSB and the adjoining radwaste building.Air from other portions of the RSSB is not recirculated back to these areas.Air is recirculated within the RSSB and is processed through a filter system prior to reconditioning and redistribution.
| |
| The recirculation filter UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR system is comprised of the following primary filtration components:
| |
| 1.Prefilters to remove larger particles to reduce dust loading on the high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA)filters.2.HEPA filters with an individual efficiency of at least 99.97 percent.All RSSB ventilation exhaust air is processed through a filter train prior to discharging into the stack.The filter is comprised of the following primary filtration elements: 1.Prefilter to remove larger particles to reduce loading of the HEPA filters.2.HEPA filters with an individual efficiency of at least 99.97 percent.3.Two carbon adsorber sections for the removal of radioactive iodine from the exhaust stream.Final HEPA filters with an individual efficiency of at least 99.97 percent.Air flow through the process areas of the RSSB is from areas of low radioactive contamination potential toward areas with increasingly higher contamination potential.
| |
| Air from the two truck bays is ducted to the ventilation exhaust system rather than returned to.the recirculating atmospheric cleanup system to prevent recirculation of truck exhaust fumes in the RSSB.The RSSB atmosphere is continuously purged (10,250 cfm)with clean outside air by operation of the fresh air supply and ventilation exhaust systems.Purge air from the process areas of the RSSB replaces the air drawn from the truck bays such that the entire building is purged via the exhaust from the truck bays.Radioactive tank vents are piped directly into the exhaust system upstream of the filter.Heating coils (electrical), cooling (chilled water), and fans are located downstream of the filter components to protect them from radioactive contamination.
| |
| Supplemental heating is provided for the control and electrical rooms by duct heaters.Stair towers are provided with space heaters.Chilled water is produced in one of two 100-percent capacity water chillers and circulated by one of two 100-percent capacity chilled water pumps.Single failure of any one fan, heating coil or cooling coil may result in operating variations from the design basisi however, the overall effect with regard to the health and safety of the building occupants or the public will not be compromised.
| |
| Fresh air inlet and ventilation exhaust penetrations through the RSSB outer walls are each fitted with two series mounted dampers designed to withstand a minimum of 3 psi pressure differential resulting from severe weather pressure conditions.
| |
| All design and specification requirements are for UFSAR Revision 14 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR nonseismic, nonnuclear safety-related systems and components.
| |
| Instrumentation and control systems are provided to achieve required space temperature conditions and to maintain air flow requirements to provide acceptable building and process area pressure relationships.
| |
| Relative humidity is not controlled, although it is maintained at reasonable levels by the HVAC system.All operating control functions are automatic.
| |
| Temperature control systems in the fresh air supply and recirculating atmospheric cleanup systems are independent.
| |
| Air flow control systems in the fresh air supply system and the exhaust ventilation system include interlock provisions to maintain pressure relationships upon de-energizing an exhaust or supply fan.Air flow controls of the recirculating atmospheric cleanup system are independent of the other systems.Redundant temperature sensing and control loops are provided in the fresh air supply and recirculating atmospheric cleanup system.Local instruments and remote indication and/or annunciation are provided.2.3 Shielding and Access Control~>The RSSB is designed to minimize exposure to plant personnel and the public by its location and design.The RSSB is located within the protected area and is heavily shielded by reinforced concrete.3.0 Use The RSSB was constructed with the specific intent of providing onsite storage of low-level radioactive waste (LLW).The need to store LLW onsite is the result of the federal Low-Level Radioactive Waste Policy Act as amended in 1985, which initiated the process by which the three existing LLW disposal sites (Barnwell, SC;Beatty, NV;and Hanford, WA)would no longer be required to receive LLW.Although originally designed to store Unit 1 LLW, the RSSB is capable of providing interim storage of LLW produced at both Unit 1 and Unit 2.From a technical standpoint, the storage of Unit 2 waste at Unit 1 is considered acceptable based on the following:
| |
| 1~The isotopic library to be considered is essentially the same for both units;2~The isotopic distributions for the two units are similar;however, since Unit 2 is a zinc injection plant, the distribution is more heavily weighted toward Zn-65, while Unit 1 is more heavily weighted toward Co-60.The net impact on interim storage in the RSSB is not significant since the shielding has been designed assuming the more limiting Co-60 levels of Unit 1;3.The selective storage of the high-activity LLW from both units in the RSSB (and the low-activity LLW at UFSAR Revision 14 III-43 June 1996 Nine Mile Point Unit 1 FSAR Unit 2)creates the potential for the storage of greater average activity concentration in the building, although not greater volume.However, since the RSSB was designed assuming the storage of incinerated resins which represent a bounding activity concentration, the building design is considered adequate for the combined storage from both units;4~Total activity in the RSSB will ultimately be controlled per the Site radiation protection program to ensure that both onsite and offsite dose and dose rate limits are maintained; and 5.The transfer of by-product material between Unit 1 and Unit 2 will be conducted in accordance with approved radiation protection implementing procedures.
| |
| Radioactive piping is routed through a shielded pipe tunnel and in shielded areas to limit exposure.Major pieces of equipment that can be significant sources of radiation exposure are each provided with a separate shielded cubicle.The storage vaults are shielded with 48 in of concrete in the storage zone (below crane).The roof is 24-in thick.The tank cubicles are shielded by 36 in of concrete.The east-west.
| |
| truck bay is equipped with a retracting shield door in the ceiling which mitigates albedo radiation in the truck bay from the storage vaults.The low-level storage room and the process equipment cubicle are equipped with sliding shield doors.Access is controlled administratively by the Unit 1 Radiation Protection Program.Physical control of high radiation areas is maintained in accordance with Technical Specifications.
