14E-i Revised 09/29/2005 APPENDIX 14F ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF A LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT | |||
This appendix contains the original licensing basis LOCA dose analysis. This | |||
analysis has been replaced with a revised analysis that can be found in | |||
Section 14.3.5. | |||
The results of analyses described in this section demonstrate that the | |||
amounts of radioactivity released to the environment in the event of a | |||
loss-of-coolant accident (which has an exceedingly low probability of | |||
occurrence) are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 CFR | |||
100. In summary, the computed thyroid dose values are (using the release | |||
assumption of TID-14844): | |||
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance | |||
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9 0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10 | |||
Loss-of-Coolant Accident | |||
The loss-of-coolant accident has the potential for the highest off site | |||
doses, compared to all other accidents. The loss of coolant accident may | |||
result in a significant amount of clad rupture; however, since the fuel does | |||
not melt, only a limited quantity of fission products are released. If it is | |||
assumed that all the rods fail and that all the fission products in the gap | |||
spaces were released, the total release from the core would be less than 5% | |||
of the saturation quantities of the radioactive iodines and noble gases. | |||
For analytical purposes the amount of radioactive fission products that could | |||
be released from the core have been calculated according to the fundamental | |||
assumptions given in Reference 1 (TID 14844). This calculational model has | |||
been widely used in evaluating the capability of PWR containment systems in | |||
the event of the core melt down. However, it should be pointed out that no | |||
accident of this magnitude has been described for these units; in fact, an | |||
accident of this magnitude is not considered credible. | |||
14F-1 Rev. 10 7/92 The TID 14844 model assumes that 50% of the total core iodine inventory is released, and that one half of this amount becomes plated out onto surfaces | |||
within the containment. The remaining one half, or 25% of the total core | |||
iodine inventory, is assumed to be in the containment atmosphere and | |||
available for leakage. As a function of time the charcoal filter system | |||
collects and retains the iodine, and thereby the amount of iodine available | |||
for leakage is substantially reduced. | |||
The TID 14844 model also assumes that 100% of the total core noble gas | |||
inventory and 1% of the total core solid fission product inventory are | |||
released into the containment. | |||
Core Inventory of Iodines and Noble Gases | |||
The total core inventory was calculated on the basis of the reactor having | |||
been operated as follows: (1) 2300 MW(t), (2) 625 days of full-power | |||
operation to produce 1-129 and the stable isotopes, and (3) except for I-129, full-power operation to reach the saturation inventory of the radioactive | |||
isotopes. Table 14F-1 gives information on the major iodine isotopes | |||
computed for the Turkey Point core, based on data given in TID 14844. Table | |||
14F-2 gives information on the major noble gas isotopes. | |||
Iodines and Noble Gases in Containment Atmosphere | |||
The amount of noble gases in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to the TID 14844 model) is the total amount listed in Table 14F-2. | |||
These gases are assumed to be completely mixed in the atmosphere, and | |||
available for leakage. | |||
The amount of iodine in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to | |||
the TID 14844 model, 25% of total) adds up to the following: | |||
Total of I-127 and I-129 2,550 grams, stable Total of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134 and 1-135 152 grams, radioactive Total Iodine in Containment 2,702 grams | |||
14F-2 Rev. 10 7/92 The iodine, when released from the core, has been observed by those working in the field to be essentially composed of elemental iodine with little more | |||
than a trace of organic iodides. Upon reaching the containment, and as a | |||
function of time, some of the elemental iodine reacts with organic materials | |||
to form organic iodides, typified by methyl iodide. Also, some hydrogen | |||
iodide is formed. | |||
The percentage of the iodine in the containment atmosphere that becomes | |||
converted into methyl iodide is not precisely known. The best evidence | |||
indicates that the value lies between an infinitesimal amount and 5%. It is | |||
stated in Reference 2 that "Although there is only a small amount of | |||
information available on which to base a judgement, a value of 10% for | |||
organic (nonremovable) iodides in the total available for leakage is | |||
considered very conservative...". For dose calculations the elemental iodine | |||
was taken as 95% and the methyl iodide as 5%. | |||
With respect to iodine cleanup, the dose calculations are based on the | |||
removal that occurs only in the charcoal filter units and the 50% plateout | |||
previously mentioned. That is a conservative assumption since cleanup will | |||
also be achieved as follows: | |||
: 1. Some iodine will be deposited on particles in the atmosphere. Some of these particles will be entrained by the containment borated spray | |||
water. The remainder of the particles will be collected in the HEPA | |||
filters. | |||
: 2. Based on information given in Reference 3, and companion reports, the elemental iodine (and iodides other than organic) in the atmosphere may | |||
be effectively cleaned up by the containment spray water. This cleanup | |||
by the water is not permanent (since no iodine retaining agent is | |||
added) in that the iodine will seek an equilibrium distribution between | |||
the water and the air in accordance with its partition factor. | |||
14F-3 Rev. 10 7/92 Iodine Cleanup With Emergency Containment Filter Units The capability of the emergency containment filter units to collect elemental | |||
iodine and methyl iodide is indicated by a "decontamination factor" (DF), | |||
which in turn depends upon a "removal constant" (). Removal constants were computed on the basis of the equation and numerical values given in Table | |||
14F-3. The following removal constants were computed: | |||
Number of Filter Elemental Iodine Methyl Iodide | |||
Units Operating a b 3 (total installed) 3.53 2.74 | |||
2 (minimum safeguards) 2.35 1.83 | |||
The general decontamination factor equation is given in Table 14F-4. With | |||
the use of this equation the following decontamination factors were | |||
calculated, based on the iodine in the containment being composed of 0.95 | |||
elemental iodine and 0.05 methyl iodide: | |||

2-12 hours > l00* > l00* | |||
12 hours - 31 days > l00* > l00* | |||
Containment Assumptions | |||
The containment design leak rate is 0.25% per day (2.9 x 10 | |||
: 8) fraction/sec) at the design pressure of 59 psig. In the event of a loss-of-coolant | |||
accident the containment pressure will rise to some value less than 59 psig, and will then decrease to near atmospheric pressure due to the action of the | |||
containment sprays and emergency containment coolers. | |||
* These values were arbitrarily limited in order to obtain a finite number in the dose calculations. | |||
14F-4 Rev. 10 7/92 For the dose calculations the pressure of the containment was assumed toremain at 59 psig for the entire length of the period, and thereby the leak | |||
rate was taken as a fixed value of 0.25% per day. This assumption tends to | |||
be very conservative, particularly for the "12 hours-31 days" period. | |||
Atmospheric Dispersion Model | |||
For calculational purposes, the pressurized air-steam mixture in the | |||
containment was assumed to leak out at the established leak rate given above. | |||
This leakage from the containment becomes dispersed into the atmosphere and | |||
the dose rate to an individual at any specific location is a function of | |||
source concentration, time, distance, and atmospheric dispersion. | |||
Dilution multipliers (x/Q), which reflect relative concentrations of | |||
radioactivity in the atmosphere as a function of distance from the | |||
containment, were calculated in accordance with equations and meteorological | |||
conditions given in Tables 14F-5 and 14F-6. | |||
No credit was taken for the building wake effect for either the "2-12 hours" period or the "12 hours-31 days" period. This introduces some conservatism | |||
near the site boundary, but the error diminishes with distance. The values | |||
of y and z were taken from Reference 4. | |||
The dilution multiplier values (in seconds/cubic meter) for the stated | |||
conditions at various locations are tabulated below: | |||

14F-5 Rev. 10 7/92 Thyroid Dose Computations The thyroid doses for various time periods were calculated according to the | |||
equation and values given in Table 14F-7. | |||
The following values were obtained: | |||
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance | |||
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9 | |||
0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10 | |||
These values demonstrate that the amount of radioactivity that would be | |||
released to the environment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident give | |||
dose values that are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 | |||
CFR 100. | |||
Several parameter studies were performed in order to indicate the change in | |||
thyroid dose values that would result in the event of a deviation in an | |||
original assumption. For example, it was found that the doses remain almost | |||
unaffected in case of filter unit fan failure after a brief period of time. | |||
The above given dose values were based on two filter units operating | |||
continuously for the duration of the accident. The principal cleanup occurs | |||
within the first two hours; in fact, within this period of time the iodine | |||
concentration will be reduced to less than 2% of the original concentration. | |||
14F-6 Rev. 10 7/92 After two hours, the filter units serve to continue cleaning the air of residual amounts of iodine. The following tabulation illustrates the | |||
insensitivity of the dose values due to equipment malfunction after two | |||
hours. | |||
Dose at Exclusion Radius, rem | |||
Classification Condition 0-2 hours 0-31 days | |||
Normal Two filter units operating 93 109 31 days or longer. | |||
Abnormal One filter unit operating 93 110 31 days or longer. Second filter unit operating for first 2 hours only. | |||
Abnormal Two filter units operating 93 111 first 2 hours only. | |||
In case a filter unit does fail after operating for a period of time, the | |||
radioactive decay heat is absorbed by the borated water spray system to the | |||
filters, thereby holding the collected iodine within the charcoal. | |||
Another example is the sensitivity of the system to the methyl iodide | |||
content, since it cannot be established at this time precisely what fraction | |||
of the iodine will be in the methyl iodide form. Calculations were made to | |||
examine the variation in the 0-2 hour dose at the north boundary that would | |||
occur if the methyl iodide content in the containment atmosphere varied from | |||
0% to as much as 15%. | |||
Methyl Iodide, Fraction | |||

.10 | |||
.15 DF 4.75 4.68 4.62 4.56 Dose, rem 92 93 94 95 | |||
For the calculations it was assumed that two filter units were operating with | |||
a of 2.35 for elemental iodine and a of 1.83 for methyl iodide, as given earlier. One concludes from the above that the exact amount of methyl iodide | |||
does not need to be known since the total dose varies very little. | |||
14F-7 Rev. 10 7/92 A third example is the sensitivity of the system to unfilterable iodide. The concept of an unfilterable form of airborne iodine is hardly consistent with | |||
any physical model of filtration. It is possible, but not reasonable, on the | |||
basis of a thorough examination of the data (refer to references given in | |||
Reference 5), that some forms of iodine might be removed at very low | |||
efficiencies. It is a simplified approach to the calculations to assume that | |||
there is a form of iodine which is "unfilterable," or will be removed at zero | |||
percent efficiency, even though this does not agree with experimental data. | |||
In order to show sensitivity, calculations were made on the assumption of | |||
varying amounts of unfilterables to determine the variation in the 0-2 hour | |||
dose at the north and south boundaries, and the 0-31 day dose at a distance | |||
of 5 miles, with the unfilterable iodine varying in concentration from zero | |||
to 15% of the iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere. The | |||
results, with 2 filter units operating, were as follows: | |||
Fraction of Iodine that is Unfilterable: | |||
Integrated Dose | |||
.00 | |||

.10 | |||
.15 0-2 hr Dose, rem, North Boundary 92 108 125 142 0-2 hr Dose, rem, South Boundary 64 76 88 100 | |||
0-31 day Dose, rem, at 5 Miles 10 16 22 28 | |||
In reviewing the results computed on this basis, it is seen that the doses | |||
are all much less than 300 rem, even with the unfilterable content being 15%. | |||
Although the applicant does not believe that this calculational model is the | |||
proper one to use, it should be noted that the calculated dose values are | |||
low. | |||
Short-term Thyroid Doses at Beach and Scout Camps | |||
The maximum thyroid doses have also been considered for areas within the site | |||
boundary temporarily occupied by the public assuming the TID-14844 accident | |||
analysis model. These areas are the Turkey Point Beach at 2000 feet, the | |||
Girl Scout Camp at 2300 feet and the Boy Scout Camp at 2900 feet from the nearest containment structure. The respective /Q values at these distances, considering the volume source correction, are 3.2 x 10 | |||
-4 , 2.8 x 10 | |||
-4 and 2.3 x 10-4 sec/M 3 for the period of 0 to 2 hours following the postulated LOCA. | |||
14F-8 Rev. 10 7/92 By selection of a very conservative value of 59 psig maximum containment pressure for the leakage driving function over the entire initial two hours, the effective maximum containment leak rate is 0.25% / day. The resultant | |||
maximum two hour thyroid dose at the indicated locations, generated from an | |||
initial 95% elemental iodine and 5% methyl iodide atmospheric constituency, are: | |||
Turkey Point Beach 190 rem Girl Scout Camp 170 rem Boy Scout Camp 138 rem | |||
These values point out the requirement for the site evacuation procedure to | |||
be implemented within the initial 2 hour period, which will be provided and | |||
followed. | |||
Whole Body Dose Computations | |||
Whole body doses resulting from the accident were also computed. The major | |||
contribution is the dose from immersion in the plume. The direct radiation | |||
dose from the containment is insignificant due to the shielding provided by | |||
its walls. | |||
Direct doses were calculated assuming immersion in a semi-infinite cloud | |||
containing a uniform distribution of the gas isotopes which have leaked from | |||
the containment. Cloud concentrations assumed were those actually calculated | |||
at the centerline of the plume. | |||
The following whole body doses from the passing cloud were computed: | |||
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance | |||
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 3.1 2.2 0.4 0-31 day dose, rem 5.2 3.5 0.6 These values are small compared to the guidelines specified in 10 CFR 100. | |||
14F-9 Rev. 10 7/92 Radiological Assessment of Containment Purge The radiological doses due to a postulated loss of coolant accident presented | |||
in the proceeding analyses assumed that there was no containment purging | |||
occurring at the onset of the accident. Discussed herein are the results of | |||
an analysis performed to determine the incremental radiological dose at the | |||
site boundary and low population zone assuming the purge valves are fully | |||
open when the accident initiates and close upon receipt of signal as | |||
designed. These incremental doses, when added to those previously presented | |||
in Section 14.3.5, provide a maximum set of doses for a LOCA with containment | |||
purge. The results of this evaluation are presented in the following tables: | |||

The major assumptions which were used in the evaluation of the incremental | |||
dose are listed below: | |||
: 1. The containment purge valves are closed 5 seconds after the containment high pressure signal is transmitted. There is a 2.7 second delay before | |||
14F-10 Rev. 10 7/92 the increased containment pressure is detected which results in a total of 7.7 seconds for valve closure (8 seconds was conservatively assumed). | |||
: 2. Radioactive releases via the purge valves during closure is from the Reactor Coolant System only. | |||
: 3. The primary coolant iodine activity corresponds to the maximum limit of 30 Ci/gm Dose Equivalent. | |||
: 4. It is conservatively assumed during the initial 8 seconds that 5O% of the blowdown (worst FSAR case) from the break flashes and becomes | |||
homogeneously mixed in the containment atmosphere. All of the iodine in | |||
the flashed steam is assumed to become airborne. | |||
: 5. The flow through the purge valves is assumed to be a mixture of steam and water. Frictionless flow through the valves is assumed. | |||
: 6. FSAR meteorology is assumed. | |||
: 7. Standard TID 14844 methodology was used to calculate the incremental doses. | |||
The results clearly indicate that the anticipated dose caused by a LOCA with | |||
containment purging at the onset of the accident is well within the limits of | |||

Rev. 10 7/92 APPENDIX 14G HISTORICAL DISCUSSION OF CONTAINMENT PRESSURE TRANSIENT MARGINS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL PRESSURE OF 59 PSIG | |||
INTRODUCTION | |||
This appendix contains the original FSAR discussion of the containment design | |||
pressure margins associated with the original containment structural | |||
capability pressure of 59 psig. Since the original containment structural | |||
capability pressure of 59 psig has been replaced with the licensed design | |||
basis pressure (55 psig) approved by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) | |||
during the operating license stage, this discussion is of historical | |||
importance only and does not apply to the current licensed containment design | |||
pressure or to the basis for calculating the minimum required prestress | |||
forces for the containment post-tensioning system. Refer to the engineering | |||
evaluation contained in Reference 1. | |||
BACKGROUND | |||
The licensed containment design basis pressure of 55 psig was established | |||
during the very early stages of plant licensing and has carried through to | |||
current licensing documents. The PSAR and FSAR indicated that a 55 psig | |||
reference containment design pressure was conservatively established for the | |||
design basis (29-inch double-ended pipe break) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), based on a 49.9 psig calculated peak pressure plus a 10% safety | |||
margin; and the structural proof test was conducted at 115% design pressure | |||
to check structural integrity. Refer to PSAR Sections 5.4.1.a and 12.2.3 (Reference 2), and to original (1970) FSAR Section 5.1.1, (Reference 3). | |||
Other LOCA study cases, assuming partial safeguards availability, were also | |||
considered. These study cases did not constitute licensed design basis | |||
accident scenarios, but rather provided an indication of potential | |||
containment performance requirements beyond-the-licensing-basis for purposes | |||
of establishing conservative design margins for the containment structures. | |||
14G-1 Rev. 11 11/93 These scenarios were developed in response to Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) questions, and to address uncertainties as to the availability of primary | |||
system accumulators. As a result, some of these other cases assumed partial | |||
safeguards operation with no core cooling, which were conditions that are | |||
beyond the required postulation of a single active or passive failure. Refer | |||
to PSAR Supplement 2, Questions 1.0 and 3.0 (Reference 4). For instance, the | |||
AEC requested that a "no-core-cooling" case be considered, in which partial | |||
safeguards equipment, operating on diesel power, introduced all the safety | |||
injection water directly into the sump. This case resulted in a maximum | |||
pressure of 58.5 psig. However, the value of 55 psig came about as the | |||
result of the design basis analysis which assumed that partial safeguards | |||
equipment, operating on diesel power, provided core cooling by having 2/3 of | |||
the safety injection water flow paths reach the core. | |||
To accommodate these hypothetical, beyond-the-licensing-basis scenarios, the | |||
containment structure was designed with additional margins to withstand a | |||
pressure of 59 psig; however, the licensed design basis LOCA analysis | |||
calculated peak pressure was 49.9 psig, and "55 psig [was] considered as | |||
nominal structural design pressure, thus allowing a margin of 10% over the | |||
calculated peak accident pressure." Refer to original 1970 FSAR, Section | |||
5.1.1 - Reference 3). | |||
CONTAINMENT MARGIN EVALUATIONS | |||
Evaluation of the capability of the containment and associated cooling | |||
systems to absorb energy additions without exceeding the containment design | |||
pressure requires consideration of two periods of time following a postulated | |||
large area rupture of the reactor coolant system. | |||
The first period is the blowdown phase. Since blowdown occurs too rapidly | |||
for the containment cooling systems to be activated, there must be sufficient | |||
energy absorption capability in the free volume of the containment (with due | |||
credit for energy absorption in the containment structures) to limit the | |||
resulting pressure below design. | |||
14G-2 Rev. 11 11/93 The second period is the post-blowdown period where the containment cooling systems must be able to absorb any postulated post-blowdown energy additions | |||
and continue to limit the containment pressure below design. | |||
Margin - Blowdown Peak to Design Pressure | |||
Point A in Figure 14G-1 corresponds to the internal energy at the end of a DE | |||
break blowdown, 195 x 10 6 Btu. In order for the pressure to increase to design pressure (59 psig) the internal energy must be increased to 231 x 10 6 Btu (Point B). The allowed energy addition is therefore 36 x 10 6 Btu. Since energy transferred to the containment from the core is in the form of steam | |||
the total transferred core energy corresponding to allowed energy addition is | |||
as follows: | |||
h fg 921.9 Q core = Q allowed = 36 x 10 6 x = 28.4 x 10 6 Btu h g 1177.6 | |||
This allowable value of energy which could be transferred from the core to the containment without increasing the transient containment pressure to | |||
design pressure can be compared to the energy stored in the reactor vessel | |||
and transferred to the steam generator during blowdown for the double ended | |||
break. The thick metal of the reactor vessel was not considered since a | |||
negligible amount of this energy can be transferred in the short blowdown | |||
time. | |||
Stored in the core 15.0 x 10 6 Btu Core internals Metal 0.3 x 10 6 Btu Transferred to Steam Generators 1.4 x 10 6 Btu | |||
16.7 x 10 6 Btu Thus, the containment has the capability to limit containment pressure below | |||
design even if all of the available energy sources were transferred to the | |||
containment at the end of blowdown. This would also include no credit for | |||
14G-3 Rev. 11 11/93 energy absorption in the steam generator. For this to occur an extremely high core to coolant heat transfer coefficient is necessary. This would | |||
result in the core and internals being completely subcooled and limit the | |||
potential for release of fission products. | |||
Additional Energy Added as Superheat | |||
Line A to C on Figure 14G-1 represents a constant mass line extended into the | |||
superheated region. Comparison of the energy addition allowable for the | |||
superheated case relative to the saturated case shows a lesser ability of the | |||
containment to absorb an equivalent amount of energy as superheat. An | |||
addition of 8.5 x 10 6 Btu of energy after blowdown would cause the containment pressure to increase to design. The recombination of hydrogen | |||
and oxygen from 9.6% Zr-H 2 O reaction completed before the end of blowdown would be required to generate 8.5 x 10 6 Btu's of energy. For the case analyzed, the core was assumed to be in a subcooled state, and no Zr-H 2 O reaction would be possible. In order for Zr-H 2 O reaction to occur before the end of blowdown all of the stored initial energy must remain in the core. If | |||
this occurred a blowdown peak containment pressure of only 44.2 psig would be | |||
reached instead of 49.9 psig in the case analyzed. Lines D and E on Figure | |||
14G-1 represent the superheat energy addition required to increase the | |||
pressure to the design pressure and this corresponds to the hydrogen oxygen | |||
recombination energy from a 15.8% Zr-H 2 O reaction. | |||
It is, therefore, concluded that the containment has the capability to absorb | |||
the maximum energy addition from any loss-of-coolant accident without | |||
reliance on the containment cooling system. In addition, a substantial | |||
margin exists for energy additions from arbitrary energy sources much greater | |||
than any possible. | |||
Margin - Post Blowdown Energy Additions | |||
The Safety Injection System is designed to rapidly cool the core and stop | |||
significant addition of mass and energy to the containment. | |||
14G-4 Rev. 11 11/93 However, the following cases are presented to demonstrate the capability of the containment to withstand post accident energy additions without credit | |||
for core cooling. | |||
Case 1 : Blowdown from a large area rupture with continued addition of the core residual energy and hot metal energy to the containment as | |||
steam. | |||
Case 2 : Same as Case I but with the energy addition from a maximum Zirconium - water reaction. | |||
Figure 14G-2 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 1. For | |||
this case the decay heat generated for a 2300 MWt core operated for an | |||
infinite time is conservatively assumed. This decay heat is added to the | |||
containment in the form of steam by the boiling off of water in the reactor | |||
vessel. For this case injection water merely serves as a mechanism to | |||
transfer the residual energy to the containment as it is produced. Injection | |||
water is in effect throttled at the required rate. | |||
In addition, all the stored energy in the core and internals which is | |||
calculated to remain at the end of blow down is added in the same way during | |||
the time interval between 12.7 and 36.5 seconds (corresponds to accumulator | |||
injection time). Also all the sensible heat of the reactor vessel is added | |||
as steam exponentially over 2000 seconds time interval. | |||
The containment cooling system capability assumed in the analysis was one of | |||
two available containment spray pumps and two of three available emergency | |||
containment coolers. This is the minimum equipment available considering the | |||
single failure criterion in the emergency power system, the containment spray | |||
system and the fan cooler system. | |||
The containment heat removal capability started at 60 seconds exceeds the | |||
energy addition rate and the pressure does not exceed the initial blowdown | |||
value. An extended depressurization time results due to the increased heat | |||
load on the containment coolers. | |||
14G-5 Rev. 11 11/93 It should be emphasized that this situation is highly unrealistic in that continued addition of steam to the containment after blowdown could not | |||
occur. The accumulator and Safety Injection System acts to rapidly reflood | |||
and cool the core. | |||
Figure 14G-3 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 2. To | |||
realistically account for the energy necessary to cause a metal-water | |||
reaction, sufficient energy must be stored in the core. Storing the energy | |||
in the core rather than transferring it to the coolant causes a decrease in | |||
the blowdown peak. | |||
The reaction was calculated using the parabolic rate equation developed by | |||
Baker and assuming that the clad continues to react until zirconium oxide | |||
melting temperature of 4800 o F is reached. An additional 10% reaction of the unreacted clad is assumed when the oxide melting temperature is reached. A | |||
total reaction of 32.3% has occurred after 1000 seconds. If the reactions | |||
were to be steam limited, they could result in a higher total reaction but at | |||
a much later time. The reaction provided by the parabolic rate equation | |||
therefore, imposes the greatest load on the containment cooling system. | |||
As in Case 2, the residual heat and sensible heat is added to the containment | |||
as steam. The energy from the Zr-H 2 O reaction is added to the containment as it is produced. The hydrogen was assumed to burn as it entered the | |||
containment from the break. | |||
The blowdown peak was reduced to 44 psig and a peak pressure of 57.7 psig was | |||
reached at 600 seconds. At this time the heat removal capability of the | |||
containment cooling system assumed to be operating (one containment spray | |||
pump and two fan coolers) exceeded the energy addition from all sources. | |||
For comparison the containment pressure transients for Cases 1, 2 and the | |||
double ended blowdown are replotted in Figure 14G-4. It is concluded that | |||
operation of the minimum containment cooling system equipment provides the | |||
capability of limiting the containment pressure below its design pressure | |||
with the addition of all available energy sources and without credit for the | |||
cooling effect from the safety injection system. | |||
14G-6 Rev. 11 11/93 DISCUSSION OF ENERGY SOURCES USED IN CASES 1 AND 2 | |||
The following is a summary of the energy sources and the containment heat | |||
removal capacities used in the containment capability study. Figure 14G-5 | |||
presents the rate of energy addition from core decay heat, Zr-H 2 O reaction energy, and the hydrogen-oxygen recombination energy. The heat removal | |||
capability for the partial containment cooling (one spray pump and two fan | |||
coolers) is also presented. These heat removal values are for operation with | |||
the containment at design pressure. | |||
The integrated heat additions and heat removals for Cases 1 and 2 are plotted | |||
in Figures 14G-6 and 14G-7, respectively. These curves are presented in a | |||
manner that demonstrates the capability of the containment and the cooling | |||
systems to absorb energy. The integrated heat removal capacity is started at | |||
the internal energy corresponding to design pressure, while the integrated | |||
heat additions begin from the internal energy calculated at the end of | |||
blowdown for each case. The upper line on each curve is the containment | |||
structures and containment cooling systems capability to absorb energy | |||
additions without exceeding design pressure. The lower curve for each are | |||
the energy addition curves, and since these energy additions are the maximum | |||
possible with no credit for core cooling, there is more than adequate | |||
capability to absorb arbitrary additions. | |||
The curves in Figures 14G-8 and 14G-9 present the individual contribution of | |||
the heat removal and heat addition source, respectively. | |||

SAFETY ANALYSIS REPORT
14E-i Revised 09/29/2005 APPENDIX 14F ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF A LOSS-OF-COOLANT ACCIDENT
This appendix contains the original licensing basis LOCA dose analysis. This
analysis has been replaced with a revised analysis that can be found in
Section 14.3.5.
The results of analyses described in this section demonstrate that the
amounts of radioactivity released to the environment in the event of a
loss-of-coolant accident (which has an exceedingly low probability of
occurrence) are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10 CFR
100. In summary, the computed thyroid dose values are (using the release
assumption of TID-14844):
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9 0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10
Loss-of-Coolant Accident
The loss-of-coolant accident has the potential for the highest off site
doses, compared to all other accidents. The loss of coolant accident may
result in a significant amount of clad rupture; however, since the fuel does
not melt, only a limited quantity of fission products are released. If it is
assumed that all the rods fail and that all the fission products in the gap
spaces were released, the total release from the core would be less than 5%
of the saturation quantities of the radioactive iodines and noble gases.
For analytical purposes the amount of radioactive fission products that could
be released from the core have been calculated according to the fundamental
assumptions given in Reference 1 (TID 14844). This calculational model has
been widely used in evaluating the capability of PWR containment systems in
the event of the core melt down. However, it should be pointed out that no
accident of this magnitude has been described for these units; in fact, an
accident of this magnitude is not considered credible.
14F-1 Rev. 10 7/92 The TID 14844 model assumes that 50% of the total core iodine inventory is released, and that one half of this amount becomes plated out onto surfaces
within the containment. The remaining one half, or 25% of the total core
iodine inventory, is assumed to be in the containment atmosphere and
available for leakage. As a function of time the charcoal filter system
collects and retains the iodine, and thereby the amount of iodine available
for leakage is substantially reduced.
The TID 14844 model also assumes that 100% of the total core noble gas
inventory and 1% of the total core solid fission product inventory are
released into the containment.
Core Inventory of Iodines and Noble Gases
The total core inventory was calculated on the basis of the reactor having
been operated as follows: (1) 2300 MW(t), (2) 625 days of full-power
operation to produce 1-129 and the stable isotopes, and (3) except for I-129, full-power operation to reach the saturation inventory of the radioactive
isotopes. Table 14F-1 gives information on the major iodine isotopes
computed for the Turkey Point core, based on data given in TID 14844. Table
14F-2 gives information on the major noble gas isotopes.
Iodines and Noble Gases in Containment Atmosphere
The amount of noble gases in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to the TID 14844 model) is the total amount listed in Table 14F-2.
These gases are assumed to be completely mixed in the atmosphere, and
available for leakage.
The amount of iodine in the containment atmosphere at time zero (according to
the TID 14844 model, 25% of total) adds up to the following:
Total of I-127 and I-129 2,550 grams, stable Total of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134 and 1-135 152 grams, radioactive Total Iodine in Containment 2,702 grams
14F-2 Rev. 10 7/92 The iodine, when released from the core, has been observed by those working in the field to be essentially composed of elemental iodine with little more
than a trace of organic iodides. Upon reaching the containment, and as a
function of time, some of the elemental iodine reacts with organic materials
to form organic iodides, typified by methyl iodide. Also, some hydrogen
iodide is formed.
The percentage of the iodine in the containment atmosphere that becomes
converted into methyl iodide is not precisely known. The best evidence
indicates that the value lies between an infinitesimal amount and 5%. It is
stated in Reference 2 that "Although there is only a small amount of
information available on which to base a judgement, a value of 10% for
organic (nonremovable) iodides in the total available for leakage is
considered very conservative...". For dose calculations the elemental iodine
was taken as 95% and the methyl iodide as 5%.
With respect to iodine cleanup, the dose calculations are based on the
removal that occurs only in the charcoal filter units and the 50% plateout
previously mentioned. That is a conservative assumption since cleanup will
also be achieved as follows:
- 1. Some iodine will be deposited on particles in the atmosphere. Some of these particles will be entrained by the containment borated spray
water. The remainder of the particles will be collected in the HEPA
filters.
- 2. Based on information given in Reference 3, and companion reports, the elemental iodine (and iodides other than organic) in the atmosphere may
be effectively cleaned up by the containment spray water. This cleanup
by the water is not permanent (since no iodine retaining agent is
added) in that the iodine will seek an equilibrium distribution between
the water and the air in accordance with its partition factor.
14F-3 Rev. 10 7/92 Iodine Cleanup With Emergency Containment Filter Units The capability of the emergency containment filter units to collect elemental
iodine and methyl iodide is indicated by a "decontamination factor" (DF),
which in turn depends upon a "removal constant" (). Removal constants were computed on the basis of the equation and numerical values given in Table
14F-3. The following removal constants were computed:
Number of Filter Elemental Iodine Methyl Iodide
Units Operating a b 3 (total installed) 3.53 2.74
2 (minimum safeguards) 2.35 1.83
The general decontamination factor equation is given in Table 14F-4. With
the use of this equation the following decontamination factors were
calculated, based on the iodine in the containment being composed of 0.95
elemental iodine and 0.05 methyl iodide:

Containment Assumptions
The containment design leak rate is 0.25% per day (2.9 x 10
- 8) fraction/sec) at the design pressure of 59 psig. In the event of a loss-of-coolant
accident the containment pressure will rise to some value less than 59 psig, and will then decrease to near atmospheric pressure due to the action of the
containment sprays and emergency containment coolers.
- These values were arbitrarily limited in order to obtain a finite number in the dose calculations.
14F-4 Rev. 10 7/92 For the dose calculations the pressure of the containment was assumed toremain at 59 psig for the entire length of the period, and thereby the leak
rate was taken as a fixed value of 0.25% per day. This assumption tends to
be very conservative, particularly for the "12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />s-31 days" period.
Atmospheric Dispersion Model
For calculational purposes, the pressurized air-steam mixture in the
containment was assumed to leak out at the established leak rate given above.
This leakage from the containment becomes dispersed into the atmosphere and
the dose rate to an individual at any specific location is a function of
source concentration, time, distance, and atmospheric dispersion.
Dilution multipliers (x/Q), which reflect relative concentrations of
radioactivity in the atmosphere as a function of distance from the
containment, were calculated in accordance with equations and meteorological
conditions given in Tables 14F-5 and 14F-6.
No credit was taken for the building wake effect for either the "2-12 hours" period or the "12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />s-31 days" period. This introduces some conservatism
near the site boundary, but the error diminishes with distance. The values
of y and z were taken from Reference 4.
The dilution multiplier values (in seconds/cubic meter) for the stated
conditions at various locations are tabulated below:

14F-5 Rev. 10 7/92 Thyroid Dose Computations The thyroid doses for various time periods were calculated according to the
equation and values given in Table 14F-7.
The following values were obtained:
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 93 65 9
0-31 day dose, rem 109 75 10
These values demonstrate that the amount of radioactivity that would be
released to the environment in the event of a loss-of-coolant accident give
dose values that are substantially less than the guidelines specified in 10
CFR 100.
Several parameter studies were performed in order to indicate the change in
thyroid dose values that would result in the event of a deviation in an
original assumption. For example, it was found that the doses remain almost
unaffected in case of filter unit fan failure after a brief period of time.
The above given dose values were based on two filter units operating
continuously for the duration of the accident. The principal cleanup occurs
within the first two hours; in fact, within this period of time the iodine
concentration will be reduced to less than 2% of the original concentration.
14F-6 Rev. 10 7/92 After two hours, the filter units serve to continue cleaning the air of residual amounts of iodine. The following tabulation illustrates the
insensitivity of the dose values due to equipment malfunction after two
hours.
Dose at Exclusion Radius, rem
Classification Condition 0-2 hours 0-31 days
Normal Two filter units operating 93 109 31 days or longer.
Abnormal One filter unit operating 93 110 31 days or longer. Second filter unit operating for first 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> only.

In case a filter unit does fail after operating for a period of time, the
radioactive decay heat is absorbed by the borated water spray system to the
filters, thereby holding the collected iodine within the charcoal.
Another example is the sensitivity of the system to the methyl iodide
content, since it cannot be established at this time precisely what fraction
of the iodine will be in the methyl iodide form. Calculations were made to
examine the variation in the 0-2 hour dose at the north boundary that would
occur if the methyl iodide content in the containment atmosphere varied from
0% to as much as 15%.
Methyl Iodide, Fraction

.15 DF 4.75 4.68 4.62 4.56 Dose, rem 92 93 94 95
For the calculations it was assumed that two filter units were operating with
a of 2.35 for elemental iodine and a of 1.83 for methyl iodide, as given earlier. One concludes from the above that the exact amount of methyl iodide
does not need to be known since the total dose varies very little.
14F-7 Rev. 10 7/92 A third example is the sensitivity of the system to unfilterable iodide. The concept of an unfilterable form of airborne iodine is hardly consistent with
any physical model of filtration. It is possible, but not reasonable, on the
basis of a thorough examination of the data (refer to references given in
Reference 5), that some forms of iodine might be removed at very low
efficiencies. It is a simplified approach to the calculations to assume that
there is a form of iodine which is "unfilterable," or will be removed at zero
percent efficiency, even though this does not agree with experimental data.
In order to show sensitivity, calculations were made on the assumption of
varying amounts of unfilterables to determine the variation in the 0-2 hour
dose at the north and south boundaries, and the 0-31 day dose at a distance
of 5 miles, with the unfilterable iodine varying in concentration from zero
to 15% of the iodine concentration in the containment atmosphere. The
results, with 2 filter units operating, were as follows:
Fraction of Iodine that is Unfilterable:
Integrated Dose

.15 0-2 hr Dose, rem, North Boundary 92 108 125 142 0-2 hr Dose, rem, South Boundary 64 76 88 100
0-31 day Dose, rem, at 5 Miles 10 16 22 28
In reviewing the results computed on this basis, it is seen that the doses
are all much less than 300 rem, even with the unfilterable content being 15%.
Although the applicant does not believe that this calculational model is the
proper one to use, it should be noted that the calculated dose values are
low.
Short-term Thyroid Doses at Beach and Scout Camps
The maximum thyroid doses have also been considered for areas within the site
boundary temporarily occupied by the public assuming the TID-14844 accident
analysis model. These areas are the Turkey Point Beach at 2000 feet, the
Girl Scout Camp at 2300 feet and the Boy Scout Camp at 2900 feet from the nearest containment structure. The respective /Q values at these distances, considering the volume source correction, are 3.2 x 10
-4 , 2.8 x 10
-4 and 2.3 x 10-4 sec/M 3 for the period of 0 to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> following the postulated LOCA.
14F-8 Rev. 10 7/92 By selection of a very conservative value of 59 psig maximum containment pressure for the leakage driving function over the entire initial two hours, the effective maximum containment leak rate is 0.25% / day. The resultant
maximum two hour thyroid dose at the indicated locations, generated from an
initial 95% elemental iodine and 5% methyl iodide atmospheric constituency, are:
Turkey Point Beach 190 rem Girl Scout Camp 170 rem Boy Scout Camp 138 rem
These values point out the requirement for the site evacuation procedure to
be implemented within the initial 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> period, which will be provided and
followed.
Whole Body Dose Computations
Whole body doses resulting from the accident were also computed. The major
contribution is the dose from immersion in the plume. The direct radiation
dose from the containment is insignificant due to the shielding provided by
its walls.
Direct doses were calculated assuming immersion in a semi-infinite cloud
containing a uniform distribution of the gas isotopes which have leaked from
the containment. Cloud concentrations assumed were those actually calculated
at the centerline of the plume.
The following whole body doses from the passing cloud were computed:
North Boundary South Low Population Exclusion Radius Boundary Distance
Integrated Dose 4164 ft 5582 ft 5 miles 0-2 hour dose, rem 3.1 2.2 0.4 0-31 day dose, rem 5.2 3.5 0.6 These values are small compared to the guidelines specified in 10 CFR 100.
14F-9 Rev. 10 7/92 Radiological Assessment of Containment Purge The radiological doses due to a postulated loss of coolant accident presented
in the proceeding analyses assumed that there was no containment purging
occurring at the onset of the accident. Discussed herein are the results of
an analysis performed to determine the incremental radiological dose at the
site boundary and low population zone assuming the purge valves are fully
open when the accident initiates and close upon receipt of signal as
designed. These incremental doses, when added to those previously presented
in Section 14.3.5, provide a maximum set of doses for a LOCA with containment
purge. The results of this evaluation are presented in the following tables:
(6)
THYROID DOSE (rem)
Increment Due
Location LOCA To Purging Total
Site Boundary - 93 10 103 (0-2 hour)
Low Population Zone - 9 1 10 (0-2 hour)

Increment Due
Location LOCA To Purging Total
Site boundary - 3.1 .002 3.1 (0-2 hour)
Low Population Zone - .4
.0002 .4 (0-2 hour)
The major assumptions which were used in the evaluation of the incremental
dose are listed below:
- 1. The containment purge valves are closed 5 seconds after the containment high pressure signal is transmitted. There is a 2.7 second delay before
14F-10 Rev. 10 7/92 the increased containment pressure is detected which results in a total of 7.7 seconds for valve closure (8 seconds was conservatively assumed).
- 2. Radioactive releases via the purge valves during closure is from the Reactor Coolant System only.
- 3. The primary coolant iodine activity corresponds to the maximum limit of 30 Ci/gm Dose Equivalent.
- 4. It is conservatively assumed during the initial 8 seconds that 5O% of the blowdown (worst FSAR case) from the break flashes and becomes
homogeneously mixed in the containment atmosphere. All of the iodine in
the flashed steam is assumed to become airborne.
- 5. The flow through the purge valves is assumed to be a mixture of steam and water. Frictionless flow through the valves is assumed.
- 6. FSAR meteorology is assumed.
- 7. Standard TID 14844 methodology was used to calculate the incremental doses.
The results clearly indicate that the anticipated dose caused by a LOCA with
containment purging at the onset of the accident is well within the limits of

Rev. 10 7/92 APPENDIX 14G HISTORICAL DISCUSSION OF CONTAINMENT PRESSURE TRANSIENT MARGINS ASSOCIATED WITH CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL PRESSURE OF 59 PSIG
INTRODUCTION
This appendix contains the original FSAR discussion of the containment design
pressure margins associated with the original containment structural
capability pressure of 59 psig. Since the original containment structural
capability pressure of 59 psig has been replaced with the licensed design
basis pressure (55 psig) approved by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC)
during the operating license stage, this discussion is of historical
importance only and does not apply to the current licensed containment design
pressure or to the basis for calculating the minimum required prestress
forces for the containment post-tensioning system. Refer to the engineering
evaluation contained in Reference 1.
BACKGROUND
The licensed containment design basis pressure of 55 psig was established
during the very early stages of plant licensing and has carried through to
current licensing documents. The PSAR and FSAR indicated that a 55 psig
reference containment design pressure was conservatively established for the
design basis (29-inch double-ended pipe break) loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA), based on a 49.9 psig calculated peak pressure plus a 10% safety
margin; and the structural proof test was conducted at 115% design pressure
to check structural integrity. Refer to PSAR Sections 5.4.1.a and 12.2.3 (Reference 2), and to original (1970) FSAR Section 5.1.1, (Reference 3).
Other LOCA study cases, assuming partial safeguards availability, were also
considered. These study cases did not constitute licensed design basis
accident scenarios, but rather provided an indication of potential
containment performance requirements beyond-the-licensing-basis for purposes
of establishing conservative design margins for the containment structures.
14G-1 Rev. 11 11/93 These scenarios were developed in response to Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) questions, and to address uncertainties as to the availability of primary
system accumulators. As a result, some of these other cases assumed partial
safeguards operation with no core cooling, which were conditions that are
beyond the required postulation of a single active or passive failure. Refer
to PSAR Supplement 2, Questions 1.0 and 3.0 (Reference 4). For instance, the
AEC requested that a "no-core-cooling" case be considered, in which partial
safeguards equipment, operating on diesel power, introduced all the safety
injection water directly into the sump. This case resulted in a maximum
pressure of 58.5 psig. However, the value of 55 psig came about as the
result of the design basis analysis which assumed that partial safeguards
equipment, operating on diesel power, provided core cooling by having 2/3 of
the safety injection water flow paths reach the core.
To accommodate these hypothetical, beyond-the-licensing-basis scenarios, the
containment structure was designed with additional margins to withstand a
pressure of 59 psig; however, the licensed design basis LOCA analysis
calculated peak pressure was 49.9 psig, and "55 psig [was] considered as
nominal structural design pressure, thus allowing a margin of 10% over the
calculated peak accident pressure." Refer to original 1970 FSAR, Section
5.1.1 - Reference 3).
CONTAINMENT MARGIN EVALUATIONS
Evaluation of the capability of the containment and associated cooling
systems to absorb energy additions without exceeding the containment design
pressure requires consideration of two periods of time following a postulated
large area rupture of the reactor coolant system.
The first period is the blowdown phase. Since blowdown occurs too rapidly
for the containment cooling systems to be activated, there must be sufficient
energy absorption capability in the free volume of the containment (with due
credit for energy absorption in the containment structures) to limit the
resulting pressure below design.
14G-2 Rev. 11 11/93 The second period is the post-blowdown period where the containment cooling systems must be able to absorb any postulated post-blowdown energy additions
and continue to limit the containment pressure below design.
Margin - Blowdown Peak to Design Pressure
Point A in Figure 14G-1 corresponds to the internal energy at the end of a DE
break blowdown, 195 x 10 6 Btu. In order for the pressure to increase to design pressure (59 psig) the internal energy must be increased to 231 x 10 6 Btu (Point B). The allowed energy addition is therefore 36 x 10 6 Btu. Since energy transferred to the containment from the core is in the form of steam
the total transferred core energy corresponding to allowed energy addition is
as follows:
h fg 921.9 Q core = Q allowed = 36 x 10 6 x = 28.4 x 10 6 Btu h g 1177.6
This allowable value of energy which could be transferred from the core to the containment without increasing the transient containment pressure to
design pressure can be compared to the energy stored in the reactor vessel
and transferred to the steam generator during blowdown for the double ended
break. The thick metal of the reactor vessel was not considered since a
negligible amount of this energy can be transferred in the short blowdown
time.
Stored in the core 15.0 x 10 6 Btu Core internals Metal 0.3 x 10 6 Btu Transferred to Steam Generators 1.4 x 10 6 Btu
16.7 x 10 6 Btu Thus, the containment has the capability to limit containment pressure below
design even if all of the available energy sources were transferred to the
containment at the end of blowdown. This would also include no credit for
14G-3 Rev. 11 11/93 energy absorption in the steam generator. For this to occur an extremely high core to coolant heat transfer coefficient is necessary. This would
result in the core and internals being completely subcooled and limit the
potential for release of fission products.
Additional Energy Added as Superheat
Line A to C on Figure 14G-1 represents a constant mass line extended into the
superheated region. Comparison of the energy addition allowable for the
superheated case relative to the saturated case shows a lesser ability of the
containment to absorb an equivalent amount of energy as superheat. An
addition of 8.5 x 10 6 Btu of energy after blowdown would cause the containment pressure to increase to design. The recombination of hydrogen
and oxygen from 9.6% Zr-H 2 O reaction completed before the end of blowdown would be required to generate 8.5 x 10 6 Btu's of energy. For the case analyzed, the core was assumed to be in a subcooled state, and no Zr-H 2 O reaction would be possible. In order for Zr-H 2 O reaction to occur before the end of blowdown all of the stored initial energy must remain in the core. If
this occurred a blowdown peak containment pressure of only 44.2 psig would be
reached instead of 49.9 psig in the case analyzed. Lines D and E on Figure
14G-1 represent the superheat energy addition required to increase the
pressure to the design pressure and this corresponds to the hydrogen oxygen
recombination energy from a 15.8% Zr-H 2 O reaction.
It is, therefore, concluded that the containment has the capability to absorb
the maximum energy addition from any loss-of-coolant accident without
reliance on the containment cooling system. In addition, a substantial
margin exists for energy additions from arbitrary energy sources much greater
than any possible.
Margin - Post Blowdown Energy Additions
The Safety Injection System is designed to rapidly cool the core and stop
significant addition of mass and energy to the containment.
14G-4 Rev. 11 11/93 However, the following cases are presented to demonstrate the capability of the containment to withstand post accident energy additions without credit
for core cooling.
Case 1 : Blowdown from a large area rupture with continued addition of the core residual energy and hot metal energy to the containment as
steam.
Case 2 : Same as Case I but with the energy addition from a maximum Zirconium - water reaction.
Figure 14G-2 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 1. For
this case the decay heat generated for a 2300 MWt core operated for an
infinite time is conservatively assumed. This decay heat is added to the
containment in the form of steam by the boiling off of water in the reactor
vessel. For this case injection water merely serves as a mechanism to
transfer the residual energy to the containment as it is produced. Injection
water is in effect throttled at the required rate.
In addition, all the stored energy in the core and internals which is
calculated to remain at the end of blow down is added in the same way during
the time interval between 12.7 and 36.5 seconds (corresponds to accumulator
injection time). Also all the sensible heat of the reactor vessel is added
as steam exponentially over 2000 seconds time interval.
The containment cooling system capability assumed in the analysis was one of
two available containment spray pumps and two of three available emergency
containment coolers. This is the minimum equipment available considering the
single failure criterion in the emergency power system, the containment spray
system and the fan cooler system.
The containment heat removal capability started at 60 seconds exceeds the
energy addition rate and the pressure does not exceed the initial blowdown
value. An extended depressurization time results due to the increased heat
load on the containment coolers.
14G-5 Rev. 11 11/93 It should be emphasized that this situation is highly unrealistic in that continued addition of steam to the containment after blowdown could not
occur. The accumulator and Safety Injection System acts to rapidly reflood
and cool the core.
Figure 14G-3 presents the containment pressure transient for Case 2. To
realistically account for the energy necessary to cause a metal-water
reaction, sufficient energy must be stored in the core. Storing the energy
in the core rather than transferring it to the coolant causes a decrease in
the blowdown peak.
The reaction was calculated using the parabolic rate equation developed by
Baker and assuming that the clad continues to react until zirconium oxide
melting temperature of 4800 o F is reached. An additional 10% reaction of the unreacted clad is assumed when the oxide melting temperature is reached. A
total reaction of 32.3% has occurred after 1000 seconds. If the reactions
were to be steam limited, they could result in a higher total reaction but at
a much later time. The reaction provided by the parabolic rate equation
therefore, imposes the greatest load on the containment cooling system.
As in Case 2, the residual heat and sensible heat is added to the containment
as steam. The energy from the Zr-H 2 O reaction is added to the containment as it is produced. The hydrogen was assumed to burn as it entered the
containment from the break.
The blowdown peak was reduced to 44 psig and a peak pressure of 57.7 psig was
reached at 600 seconds. At this time the heat removal capability of the
containment cooling system assumed to be operating (one containment spray
pump and two fan coolers) exceeded the energy addition from all sources.
For comparison the containment pressure transients for Cases 1, 2 and the
double ended blowdown are replotted in Figure 14G-4. It is concluded that
operation of the minimum containment cooling system equipment provides the
capability of limiting the containment pressure below its design pressure
with the addition of all available energy sources and without credit for the
cooling effect from the safety injection system.
14G-6 Rev. 11 11/93 DISCUSSION OF ENERGY SOURCES USED IN CASES 1 AND 2
The following is a summary of the energy sources and the containment heat
removal capacities used in the containment capability study. Figure 14G-5
presents the rate of energy addition from core decay heat, Zr-H 2 O reaction energy, and the hydrogen-oxygen recombination energy. The heat removal
capability for the partial containment cooling (one spray pump and two fan
coolers) is also presented. These heat removal values are for operation with
the containment at design pressure.
The integrated heat additions and heat removals for Cases 1 and 2 are plotted
in Figures 14G-6 and 14G-7, respectively. These curves are presented in a
manner that demonstrates the capability of the containment and the cooling
systems to absorb energy. The integrated heat removal capacity is started at
the internal energy corresponding to design pressure, while the integrated
heat additions begin from the internal energy calculated at the end of
blowdown for each case. The upper line on each curve is the containment
structures and containment cooling systems capability to absorb energy
additions without exceeding design pressure. The lower curve for each are
the energy addition curves, and since these energy additions are the maximum
possible with no credit for core cooling, there is more than adequate
capability to absorb arbitrary additions.
The curves in Figures 14G-8 and 14G-9 present the individual contribution of
the heat removal and heat addition source, respectively.
