ATTACHMENT 1 to PLA<069 QIIEHTION I Provide a detailed description of the modeling techniques used to generate the 4.22 Rem cited in the August 16, 1993 submittal as the dose received during the operation of the spent fuel pool emergency service water supply valves. Describe in detail the time-motion analysis performed to determine exposure time associated with required operator actions. Include the parameters and assumptions used to generate the contained and airborne source terms and calculate the respective dose components associated with each segment of the time-motion analysis.
RESPONSE      1 The following provides a complete response to question 1 of the November 23, 1993 NRC RAI concerning radiological evaluations for the Loss of SFP Cooling issue. As discussed in PPkL's May 24 and August 16, 1993 submittals, restoration of the normal SFP cooling system prior to boiling is expected. Consequently, PPAL would not expect it to be necessary to use ESW for make-up since the normal systems could be used or make-up from the non-accident unit could be provided. This response is separated into two parts. Section 1.0 provides a description of the modeling techniques and assumptions used for evaluating operator access to the ESW make-up valves. Also included in this section, is a discussion of how the results time-motion study were factored into the analysis. Section 2.0 provides summary tables of the doses (both airborne and contained) for each of the segments assumed in the calculation. These tables show doses for a DBA LOCA with 1% clad damage, 100% clad damage, and 100% fuel melt (i.e., Reg. Guide 1.3 source term).
1.0 Detailed Descri tion  of Modelin    Techni ues 1.1  Overview The TACT5 computer code is used to evaluate post-LOCA radiation sources inside the reactor building using the FSAR Chapter 15.6.5 DBA-LOCA activity flow path model with realistic estimates of containment leakage rates. Airborne activity concentrations in the reactor building and activity concentrations in the suppression pool water are evaluated for postulated cladding failure (NUREG-1465) and fuel melt (Regulatory Guide 1.3) source terms.
Using these post-LOCA source terms, radiation dose rates inside the reactor building from airborne activity and from suppression pool water contained sources are evaluated using the MICROSHIELD computer code.
Operator access requirements inside the reactor building were determined for establishing ESW makeup to the spent fuel pool under post-LOCA conditions. Operator access routes and missions were identified and divided into sequential segments for the purpose of evaluating operator access Page 2
 
ATTACHMENT 1 to PLA%069 doses. Operator access doses are computed by multiplying the radiation dose rates from both airborne and contained sources in a given mission segment by the time spent by the operator in that mission segment. The sum of the radiation doses for all segments of the mission provides the total mission dose.
1.2 Detailed Descri tion This analysis evaluates personnel access doses inside the reactor building for the following postulated LOCA initiated core damage cases: 1% clad damage, 100% clad damage, and 100%
fuel melt.
The clad damage cases are evaluated using assumptions consistent with the accident source terms described in NUREG-1465. The fuel melt case is conservatively evaluated using accident source terms consistent with USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.3 and the FSAR Chapter 15.6.5 DBA-LOCA licensing basis evaluation. For all cases, realistic estimates of the containment leakage rate are used.
For the activity flow path model used in this analysis, the activity concentrations inside the nodal volumes are calculated by dividing the activity in the node at the time of interest by the nodal volume and therefore are directly proportional to the activity source term released from the fuel into the containment and suppression pool.
For the postulated LOCA's that assume clad damage, the amount of activity released is directly proportional to the amount of clad damage. Therefore, a complete source term and dose analysis is performed for the 100% clad damage case and source terms and dose results for the 1% clad damage case are obtained by multiplying the 100% clad damage results by 0.01 . NUREG-1465 was used to supply release data for the clad damage cases. Since no specific numerical guidance is provided in NUREG-1465, the amount of clad activity released from the core which becomes airborne inside containment or remains in the suppression pool water is based on taking credit for fission product scrubbing and retention in accordance with Standard Review Plan 6.5.5. In addition, for the clad damage cases, an aerosol removal rate of 0.73 hr  'or  particulate iodine and cesium is assumed based on information provided in NUREG-1465, Table 5.6 for the La Salle Nuclear Power Plant which is also a BWR Mark II containment design. No credit for aerosol removal was taken in the 100% fuel melt case.
Core activity release fractions for a LOCA with 100% fuel melt are based on the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.3 and NUREG-0737 and are that 25% of the iodines and 100% of the noble gases are instantaneously airborne in primary containment and available for leakage and 50% of the core inventory of iodines and 1% of the particulate are released to the suppression pool water. Due to the number of particulate isotopes in the core and the number of dose calculations required, the particulate activity release from the core was not explicitly included in the suppression pool activity source term for the 100% fuel melt case. Instead, bounding dose calculations using post-LOCA suppression pool contained sources with and without particulate Page 3
 
ATTACHMENT 1 to PlA-4069 were used to determine a dose multiplier which was used to account for the dose contribution from 1% particulate in the suppression pool water. The iodine and noble gas activities released for the 100% fuel melt case are obtained from the FSAR DBA-LOCA analysis given in PP&L calculation FX-C-DAM-014. The bounding analysis for the dose contribution from particulate is based on post-LOCA suppression pool liquid activity source terms given in Susquehanna Project Bechtel Calculation 200-201.
For all clad damage and fuel melt cases, the isotopic chemical form of the activity released from the core is assumed to be as follows:
Io dines      = 91% elemental
                        = 4% organic
                        = 5% particulate Cesium s      = 100% particulate Noble Gases    = 100% elemental This assumption is consistent with USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.3 for core fuel damage. For the clad damage cases, NUREG-1465 indicates that the chemical form for iodine entering containment is 95% particulate and 5% elemental, but without Ph control of the suppression pool water, a relatively large fraction of the particulate iodine dissolved in suppression pool water will be converted to elemental iodine. Therefore, the above chemical forms assumed for this analysis are conservative for the clad damage cases.
The primary containment design basis leakage rate is 1 %/day. For the FSAR licensing basis DBA-LOCA analysis this leakage rate is assumed for the duration of the accident. For this evaluation, a time dependent realistic containment leakage rate based on containment Integrated Leakage Rate Testing (ILRT) results and the calculated containment post-LOCA pressure response is used for both the clad damage and 100% fuel melt cases. The ILRT test pressure corresponds to the maximum calculated containment post-LOCA pressure with a design margin applied. The realistic containment leakage rate was calculated by reducing the ILRT measured leakage rate proportionately to the ILRT test pressure and the calculated containment pressure response for a LOCA. For this analysis, the most up-to-date leakage rate data is used so that the dose estimates reflect the most up-to-date containment leakage conditions.            Therefore, the measured leakage rate of 0.606%/day from the Unit 1 ILRT performed 5/5/92 is assumed for this analysis. A leakage rate of 0.606%/day is also representative of typical measured leakage rates at SSES Units 1 & 2.
NUREG-0737 provides guidance for evaluating operator access to vital plant areas for post-accident operations. It states under Item (2) Systems Containing The Source that for post-LOCA accident operations, "Radiation from leakage of systems located outside of containment need not be considered for this analysis". Therefore, it is assumed for this evaluation that the leakage of post-LOCA containment airborne activity through containment penetrations that are water sealed Page 4
 
ATTACHMENT 1 to PLA<069 need not be considered. The realistic containment leakage rate used for both the clad and fuel damage cases are based on the measured leakage rates through containment penetrations that are not water sealed.
Based on the above activity flow pathways, the TACT5 code provides total activity in the reactor building and suppression pool as a function of time post accident. At the required evaluation time (24 hours post accident), isotopic activities were taken from the TACT5 output edit and divided by the appropriate dispersal volume to give activity concentrations.
Radiation doses inside the reactor building are evaluated for both" airborne activity and for suppression pool water contained sources. Operator access doses or area radiation dose rates are evaluated in each of the areas that require access to provide ESW makeup. Radiation doses are evaluated using the MICROSHIELD computer code with the TACT5 generated activity concentration source terms.
The dose rate from airborne activity inside the reactor building is actually an immersion dose.
However, since the MICROSHIELD computer code cannot calculate dose rates internal to the source, slab geometry is used. One half of the source volume is modeled as a rectangular volume source and a dose rate on the surface of this volume is calculated. The immersion dose is then calculated by multiplying the contact dose rate from half of the source volume by a factor of 2.
All immersion dose rates are conservatively calculated at the centerline of the room. Dose rates from the contained suppression pool liquid piping sources are calculated using cylindrical source geometry with receiver at side.
In order to evaluate operator  access doses, operator walking rates and stair climbing rates are required. A time motion study was performed to verify operator access travel times inside the reactor building under LOCA conditions. An operator was dressed in protective clothing and wore a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus and actual transit times to valves located on elevations 670'nd    749'f    the reactor building were measured. Access to these valves is required to provide ESW makeup to the spent fuel pool. Based upon the results of this time motion study, an operator walking rate of 200 ft/min and a stair climbing rate of 50. ft/min are conservatively assumed for operator ingress/egress dose calculations for access to the reactor building under LOCA conditions. Also as part of this study, using spare valves, the valve opening time for the 2 inch valves used for ESW system tie-in and flow control was measured to be 10 to 15 seconds, but for calculational conservatism, a valve opening time of 1 minute was used.
The incorporation of the time-motion study into the final calculation resulted in the preliminary dose to the operator increasing from 4.22 Rem. to 4.57 Rem., for access to the valves on elevations 670. The 4.22 Rem value was reported in PPkL's August 16, 1993 submittal.
Operator access doses are only evaluated for Unit 1 The operator access area locations for
                                                        ~
Units 1 and 2 are identical except for the area containing the valves required for tie-in of the ESW system for makeup ( Valve Nos. 153500, 153501 and 253500, 253501). Based on the post-accident radiation levels given in Figures 18.1-3 and 18.1-4 of the SSES FSAR, the area containing the Unit 1 valves for ESW system tie-in has higher dose rates than the Unit 2 area.
Page 5
 
ATTACHMENT 1 to PLA-4069 Therefore dose rates calculated for the Unit 1 area will be conservative for the Unit 2 area.
Therefore, all of the calculated operator access doses for Unit 1 are applicable to Unit 2.
Operator access doses are evaluated at 24 hours post-LOCA. For loss of spent fuel pool cooling, the fuel pool begins to boil in approximately 48 hours. For the condition where a Loss of Offsite Power (LOOP) is also postulated, power is expected to be restored within 24 hours. Therefore, 24 hours was chosen as the latest time operator action could be taken to restore cooling and/or make-up to the pull and assure those actions would be completed prior to SFP boiling Some dose rates are also calculated at other times post-LOCA and to show that post-LOCA dose rates are decreasing for time periods greater than 24 hours.
For the 100% fuel melt case, a dose factor is used to take into account the dose contribution from particulate in the suppression pool liquid (see Section 5.1, Assumption 5). The particulate dose factor is defined as the ratio of the dose from suppression pool liquid sources containing core iodine and particulate activity to the dose from suppression pool liquid sources containing iodine activity only. All doses from contained sources for the 100% fuel melt case are calculated using the MICROSHIELD computer code with a suppression pool source term that contains iodines only. The MICROSHIELD results for contained sources for the 100% fuel melt case are then multiplied by the particulate dose factor to take into account the dose contribution from particulate. This dose factor is calculated at 24 hours post-LOCA and can only be applied to operator access doses from suppression pool liquid sources evaluated at this same time period post-accident.

ATTACHMENT2 to PLA-4069 ATTACHMENT2 RESPONSE TO QUESTION 2 OF NRC 11/23/93 RAI Page 9
 
ATTACHMENT 2 to PLA-4069 OV    V  ON Provide operator dose estimates for those operator actions needed to maintain the normal spent fuel pool cooling function under DBA accident conditions, assuming the normal spent fuel pool cooling system is operational following an accident. Consider those actions needed to restore normal spent fuel following automatic or manual load shed of the spent fuel pool cooling system.
Include the same level of detail as in your response to question 1.
RE<SPONSK 2 The following provides a complete response to question 2 of the November 23, 1993 NRC RAI concerning radiological evaluations for the Loss of SFP Cooling issue. For this evaluation, ESW was evaluated as the source of make-up water since it is safety-related. Other sources of non-safety related water could be used but were not evaluated in order to minimize the amount of calculations performed. As noted in the response to question 1, restoration of normal SFP cooling is the expected course of action for responding to a Loss of SFP cooling event. This response is broken into three parts. Section 1.0 provides a description of the modeling techniques and assumptions used for evaluating operator access to restore normal Spent Fuel Pool (SFP)
Cooling. Section 2.0 a description of the actions required to restore and maintain normal SFP Cooling. It is important to note that no time-motion study was performed for these actions. The timing is based on operator experience since these actions are performed on a regular basis.
Section 3.0 provides summary tables of the doses (both airborne and contained) for each of the segments/actions assumed in the calculation. It should be noted that several separate actions, at different locations are required to restore and maintain normal SFP cooling. These tables show doses for a DBA LOCA with 1% clad damage, 100% clad damage, and 100% fuel melt (i.e.,
Reg. Guide 1.3 source term).
1.0 Detailed Descri tion  of Modelin    Techni ues The calculation performed to determine the operator doses for restoration of normal SFP cooling is based on the calculation performed for the response to question 1. The only differences are associated with the stay times and location of the operators with regard to distance from contained sources. The results of the time-motion study performed for question 1 were used to determine operator transit times, while operator experience.was.used to determine the time to perform the actions.
Page 10
 
ATTACHMENT 2 to PLA-4069 2.0 Actions for Restoration  of Normal  SFP Coolin The actions are based on the following sequences    of events and plant configuration':
TIME          DESCRIPTION 0 hrs.      Fuel Pools are isolated; Both are filled; U2 pool heat load = 8.2 MBTU/HR (just completed a 40 day outage); U1 pool heat load = 6.27 MBTU/HR (last outage began 135 days ago); Pool Temp = 110'F.
U2 LOCA/LOOP occurs; Loss of fuel pool cooling occurs to both pools; Reactor building HVAC recirculation system starts; SGTS starts.
ON-135(235)-001      LOSS    OF    FUEL POOL COOLING/COOLANT INVENTORY entered.
U1 controlled shutdown begins due to the LOOP condition.
24 Hrs.      Access available to ESW in both Units.
Offsite power is restored.
Implement Off Normal Procedures (LOSS OF FUEL POOL COOLING) to check that the system can be operated and then implement OP-135(235)-001 to place fuel pool cooling into operation.
The ON-135(235)-001 (LOSS OF FUEL POOL COOLING) would have been entered at time 0 of the event and would have been implemented to check that the system can be operated. It would have been determined that it could not due to a LOOP. Once power is restored (assumed to occur at no later than 24 hours after event initiation) the ON provisions would guide the operator to determine that the system and the necessary support systems are available.
Implementation of the ON's will assure the support systems are operable and function as required to support fuel pool cooling system operation. These procedures require a check to assure no system breach has occurred. When entrance is made to restore the system, it will be assumed that at this time any breach would be obvious and that no special. entrance to look for a system breach is necessary. The demineralizer portion of the system will not have to be inspected as it will be isolated from the cooling portion of the system by valves 15406/25406/05406 and 15444/25444/05444. These valves go closed on the loss of power at time 0 of the event. None of the other ON actions require entrance to the reactor building (except for than fuel pool cooling system start-up and fuel pool level makeup which will be discussed below)      ~
A UNIT 2  LOCA IS ASSUMED FOR THIS CONDITION SINCE              IT  RESULTS  IN  THE WORST CASE RADIOLOGICAL CONDITIONS ~
Page 11
 
~ ~
ATTACHMENT2 to PLA%069 Once the support systems are assured functioning and available, the fuel pool cooling system operation will be restored. The demineralizer function will not be restored until some time later when conditions have improved such that it can be inspected for possible system breach. It will be assumed however that an operator will go to the demineralizer panel OC207 on elevation      779'o determine that the fuel pool filter demineralizer subsystem is appropriately isolated. It is conservatively estimated that the operator willspend 10 minutes at the panel. The skimmer surge tank and fuel pool level will be more than adequate to support system operation as the pool swell due to heat up (including evaporative losses) will cause a slight increase in SFP level. It has been calculated that it will at most take 20 minutes to makeup the volume of water lost due to evaporation during the 24 hours in which it is assumed cooling is lost. This assumes one loop of ESW at 35 gpm make-up rate. Thus the pumps may be started once the bypass valve 153013 is closed, which takes at most 2 minutes (assuming the valve was full open at time 0 of the event). This valve is a manually operated valve and would not change position at time 0 of the event. Also, it takes approximately 5 minutes to turn on the three pumps and adjust the bypass valve 153013 open to pass the 1800 GPM fiow. Once the bypass valve is properly adjusted and the three pumps are operating, no other actions are required. Thus for Unit 1 in which the 153013 valve is next to the 1C206 panel, it will take one operator a maximum of 7 minutes to place the system in operation with three pumps excluding ingress and egress times. The dose associated with an ingress and egress time of = 6 minutes is calculated and reflected in the tables in section 3.0. On Unit 2, one operator will have to operate the 253013 valve (approximate 4 minute operation) and one will have to operate the pump control buttons (2 minute operation) as the valve is not in the vicinity of the panel.

QUES IQN Piovide operator dose estimates for those operator actions needed to maintain alternative spent fuel pool cooling functions under DBA accident conditions (i.e. use of accident and non-accident unit spent fuel pool cooling system to cool the accident unit fuel pool, etc.) assuming the accident unit normal spent fuel pool cooling system has failed as a result of a LOCA. Include the same level of detail as in your response to question 1  ~
RESPONSE      1 The following provides a complete response to question 3 of the November 23, 1993 NRC RAI concerning radiological evaluations for the Loss of SFP Cooling issue. This response is broken into two parts. Section 1.0 provides a 'discusses the availability of alternative SFP cooling under DBA (Reg. Guide 1.3) LOCA conditions. Section 2.0 provides a summary table of the doses (both airborne and contained) for RHR SFP cooling in the non-accident unit. This table shows doses for a DBA LOCA with 1% clad damage, 100% clad damage, and 100% fuel melt (i.e.,
Reg. Guide 1.3 source term).
1.0  Availabili of Alternative    S ent Fuel Pool Coolin As discussed in PP&L's May 24 and August 16, 1993 submittals, RHR SFP Cooling in the accident unit and the Refueling floor are inaccessible for a DBA LOCA with an assumed Reg.
Guide 1.3 source term. PP&L has not performed a calculation for a Reg. Guide 1.3 source term for RHR SFP cooling mode, however, the dose rates for 100% clad damage are on the order of 50 to 440 Rem/hour. Based on these results, the dose rates for a fuel melt (Reg. Guide 1.3) would prohibit operator access. Under DBA LOCA conditions (i.e. 1% clad damage) operator access would be possible since the dose rates would be on the order of 0.5 to 4.4 Rem/hour.
Therefore, use of the accident unit's RHR system for alternative SFP cooling is not an option if a Reg. Guide 1.3 source term is assumed, but is possible for the conditions expected in a DBA LOCA.
As reported in PP&L's May 24, 1993 submittal, the dose rate on the Refueling floor at 24 hours after a Reg. Guide 1.3 DBA LOCA is 79.8 Rem/hour. The doses for the 100% and 1 % clad damage conditions were reported to be 3.8 and 0.038 Rem/hour, respectively. Since the time to pull the cask pit gates is on the order of a shift, it is not possible to accomplish this activity and incur an acceptable dose to the operator for under Reg Guide 1.3 conditions with airborne radiation. Therefore, use of the non-accident unit's systems (normal SFP cooling and RHR) to cool the accident unit's SFP is not an option ifthe cask storage pit gates are installed and a Reg.
Guide 1.3 source term is present. These actions could be performed for the DBA LOCA for the 100% and 1% clad damage conditions.
The calculation used to determine the above dose rates is the same calculation described in the response to question 1.

ATTACHMENT3 to PLA<069 2.0 Summa      of 0 erator  Doses for the Non-Accident Unit's RHR SFP Coolin The following table summarizes the dose that an operator would experience establishing RHR SFP cooling to the non-accident unit. While this is not specifically requested in the RAI, PP&L is providing this information to establish the accessibility of the non-accident unit even if the ventilation is not isolated from the accident unit. Non-isolation of non-accident unit is assumed for this case in order to maximize the dose in the non-accident unit. As noted in PP&L's August 16, 1993 submittal, the non-accident unit can be isolated from the reactor building HVAC recirculation plenum, thereby preventing the spread of radiation to the non-accident unit. The doses are based on the same calculation used to obtain the doses for the answer to question 2.
The time to stroke the RHR valves from full closed to full open is 2 minutes per valve and a separate operator would be sent to manipulate each valve.

The following provides a complete response to question I of the November 23, 1993 NRC RAI concsrains radiological evaluations for the Loss of SFP Cooling issue. As discussed in PP&L's May 24 and August 16, 1993 submittals, restoration of the normal SFP cooling system prior to boQing is expccld. Consequently, PAL would not expect it to bc accessary to usa E8W for make-up since the noanal systetns could be used or make-up fhm the non-accident unit could be provided, This response is separated into two parts. Section 1.0 provides a description of the modeling techniques and assumptiona uasd for evaluating operator access to thc ESW make-up valves, Also included in this section, is a discussion of how the results time motion study were factored into the analysis. Section 2,0 provides sununary tables of the doses (both airbotna and contained) for each of thc segments assumed ln the calculatioL These tables show doses for a DBA LOCA with 19o clad damage, 1N% clad daautgc, and 10% tM tnelt {i,e., Reg.

Operator access doses arc computed by multiplying ihc radiation dose rates from boih airborne and contained sources in a given mission segment by the time spent by the operator in that mission scgmcnt, The sum of the radiation doses for all segments of the mission provides the total mission dose.
1,2 This analysis evaluates personnel access doses inside the reactor building fnr the following postulated LOCA initiated core damage cases: 1% clad damage, 100% clad damage, and 100%
fuel iuclt.
The clad damage cases are evaluated using assumptions consistent with the accident source terms described in VUREG-1 465, The fuel melt case is cnnservatively evaluated using accident source terms consistent with USNRC Regulatory Guide 1.3 and the PSAR Chapter 15.6.5 DBA-LOCA licensing basis evaluation. For all cases, realistic cstimatos of thc containmcnt Icekego rate are used.
For the activity Rnw path madel used in this analysis, the activity concentrations inside the nodal volumes are calculated by dividing'the activity in the node at the time of interest by the nodal
~
volume and therefore are directly proportional to the activity source term rclcascd &om the fuel into thc containment and suppression pool, For the postulated LOCA's that assume clad damage, the amount of activity released is directly proportional to the amount of clad damage, Therefore, a complete source term and dose analysis is perfozmcd for thc lOON clad damage case and source tcrzns and dose results for thc I /o clad damage case azc obtained by multiplying the 100% clad damage results by 0,01, hKGKG-1465 was used to supply release data for the clad damage cases. Since no speciQc numerical guidance is provided in NURE6-1465, the amount of clad activity released &om the core which becomes airborne msidc containment or renudns in thc supprcoion pool water is based on taking credit for 55aton product scrubMng and retention in accordance with Standard Review Plhn 6,5,5. In addition, for the clad damage cases, an aerosol removal rate of 0.73 hz"'or particulate iodine and cesium is assumed based on infozznatioa provided in NUREG-1465, Table S,6 for the La Salle Nuclear Power Plant which is also a BWR Mark II containment design, No credit for aerosol removal was taken in the 18% fhcl melt case.
Coze activity release &actions for a LOCA with 15% fuel melt are based on thc requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.3 stnd NURBO-0737 and azc th&#xb9; 25% of the iodincs and 100% of the noble gases are instantaneously airborne in priniary containznent and available for leakage and 50% of the core inventory of iodizls and 1% of the particulate are released to the supprcssioe pool water, Duc to the number of particulate isotopes in tbc core and the number of dose calculations required, the particul&#xb9;e ectivity release khan the core was not explicitly included in thc suppression pool activity source tenn for the 100% fbel melt case.

For ail clad damage and fbcl melt cases, the isotopic chemical form of the activity released from the core is assumed to be as allows:
Iodincs        ~ 91% elemental
                          ~ 4%i organic
                          ~ 5% particulate Cesiums          10N4 particulate Noble Gases    ~ 100% elenental This assumption is consistent with USNRC Regulatory &dde 1,3 for core fuel damage. For the clad daaage cases, NUREQ-1465 indicates that the chemical form for iodine entering containmcmt is 95% particulat and 5% elemental, but witbout Ph control of the suppression pool water, a relatively large &action of the particul&#xb9;e iodine dissolved in supIxelion yool water will be converted to eleInental iodine.

At the required evaluation time (24 hours post accident), isotopic activities were taken &om the TACTS output edit and divided by the appropriate dispersal volume to give activity concentrations, Radiation doses insMe the reactor building are evaluated for both airborne activity and for suppression pool water contained sources. Operator access doses or area radiation dose ratci are evaluated in each of the areas that require access to provide BSW makeup, Rahstion doses are evaluated using the MIGROSKELD coaqtuter code with the TACTS generated activity concentration source terms, The dose rate &om airborne activity inside the reactor building is actually sn immsrsion dose.

GX-04-1984 11 I <0 Provide operator dose estnnates  for those operator actions needed to maintain the normal spent gael pool cooling fbncdon under  DBA accident conditions, assuming the nortnal spent fuel pool cooling systetn is operational foHowing an accident. Consider those actions needed to restore normal spent fbel following automatic or manual lpad shed of the spent fuel pool cooling systczn, Include the same level of detail as in your response to question l.
The following provides a complete response to question 2 of the November 23, 1993 NRC RAI concerning radiological evaluations for the Loss of SFP Cooling issue. For this evaluation, BSW was evaluated as the source of nuke.up water since it is safety related. Other sources of non-safety related water could be used but were not evaluated in order to mInimize the amount of calculations performed. As noted in the response to question 1, restoration of normal SPP cooling Is tbe expected course of actin for responding'to a Loss of SFP cooling event. This response is broken into three parts. Section 1.0 provides a description of the modeling techniques and assumptions used for evaluating operate access to restore normal Spent Fuel Pool (SPP)
CooHng. Section 2.0 a description of the actions required to restore and maintain nortnal SFP Cooling, It Is Imponaa to note that gg time. motion study was pccformod fot those ao6ans, The tiaung is based on operator eqertence since these actions are performed on a regula basis.
Section 3,0 provides sudsy tables of the doses {both airborne and contahml) for each of the segnNnlactions assumed in the calculation. It should be noted that several separate actions, at different locations are required to restore and maintain tNnaal SFF cooling, These tables show doses for a DBh LOCA witb 1% cled *mage, 1554 clad damage, and 1$ % &el melt (i.e.,
Reg. Guide l.3 so+en tean).
1.0 The calculation perfornod to determine the operator doses for restoration of normal SFP cooling is based oa the calculation perfortned for the response to question l. The only differences are associated with the stay times and location of the oIerators with regard to distance from detertnIM parian the'Ictioea tN5&    ~

Non-isolation of aon-accident unit is assumed for this case ia order to tnsxindxe the dose ia the non~ident unit, As noted in PPN.'s August 1t4 1993 subrnitta4 the noncident unit um be )solated &en the reactor building HVAC recircubLtion plenum, thereby preveatial the spread of radhtion to the aoa-accident uait, The doses aro based oa the same calcuMoa used to obtain the doses ibr, the answer to question'.

Fuel Pool Cooling Issue Back round
~  Issue raised by two contractors
~  Contractors contend that a loss of FPC, concurrent with LOCA results in:
boiling SFP and fuel melt outside containment loss of all ECCS and failure of containment integrity
~  PP &L maintains that adequate capability exists to respond to a loss of FPC event
 
Fuel Pool Cooling Issue
 
===Background===
~ Loss of normal FPC system due to:
Seismic LOOP.
  -'LOCA
~ Normal FPC system is first line of defense
~ Other systems available to provide:
makeup to SFP cooling to SFP
 
Fuel Pool Cooling Issue L      A
~ Hydrodynamic Loads
~ FPC not.designed for hydrodynamic loads
~ PP&L assessment concluded normal EPC system may remain functional after LOCA
 
Fuel Pool Cooling Issue PP L Position
~ SSES Licensing Basis does not consider loss of FPC for other than Seismic events
~ Operators have time to react (50 to 130 hrs)
~ Safety-grade makeup source always available
~ Safety-grade cooling via RHR FPC mode
~ Boiling environment can be mitigated

: 1. FUEL POOL COOLING PIPING LOCATED IN REACTOR BLDG. ABOVE ELEV. 749~-0" 6" TO 10" MAIN LINES ASME/ANSI NON-SAFETY RELATED, NON-SEISMIC PORTIONS ARE SAFETY RELATED, SEISMIC
: 2. SERVICE NTER PIPING LOCATED  IN REACTOR BLDG. ABOVE ELEV. 719~-0" 4" TO 14" MAIN LINES ANSI NON-SAFETY RELATED, NON-SEISMIC
: 3. CONDENSATE PIPING LOCATED  IN REACTOR BLDG. ABOVE ELEV. 683>-0" 1" TO 6" MAIN LINES ANSI: NON-SAFETY RELATED, NON-SEISMIC
 
~ HYDRODYNAMIC LOAD INPUT
  -  MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL ACCELERATION =  0.9 G'S
  - MAXIMUM VERTICAL ACCELERATION =  0.5 G'S
  -  PEAK ACCELERATIONS OCCUR AT FREQUENCIES + 20 Hz.
PIPE STRESS AFFECTS
  - NON-SEISMIC PIPING FREQUENCY TYPICALLY + 11 Hz.
  - DISPLACEMENTS OF PIPE ANTICIPATED TO BE SMALL DUE TO HIGH FREQUENCY INPUT
  - PREDICT ACCEPTABLE PIPE STRESSES  DUE TO LOM DISPLACEMENTS
  - REVIEM OF SAFETY RELATED ANALYSIS DEMONSTRATES LOM MAGNITUDE PIPE DISPLACEMENTS/STRESSES DUE TO HYDRODYNAMIC LOADS
 
~ PIPE SUPPORT ADEQUACY
  - HANGERS ARE MAINLY COMPONENT TYPE SUPPORTS (SPRING CANS, STRUTS, RIGID RODS, KTC.)
  - OTHER SUPPORTS  COMPRISED OF STRUCTURAL STEEL MEMBERS
  - PIPE SUPPORT CATALOG  COMPONENTS  TYPICALLY HAVE LARGE SAFETY FACTORS
  - PREDICT SMALL PIPK SUPPORT LOAD INCREASES DUE TO INPUT MAGNITUDE
  -  REVIEW OF SAFETY RELATED ANALYSES IN THE R/B DEMONSTRATES THAT HYDRODYNAMIC LOADS ARK LESS THAN 25% OF DEADWEIGHT LOADS
~ SPATIAL INTERACTION/ANCHOR MOVEMENTS
  -  SMALL PIPE DISPLACEMENTS WILL MINIMIZE ADVERSE AFFECTS DUE TO:
DIFFERENTIAL ANCHOR MOVEMENTS IMPACT OF ADJACENT COMPONENTS/SYSTEMS SLIPPAGE OF PIPE OFF SUPPORTS}}
