2    METHODOLOGY 2.1  The Beaver Valley U1 and U2 EAL Technical Basis Manuals contain the bases and references for the site specific EAL threshold values used to implement the NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 guidance methodology. This calculation has been developed to provide additional detailed technical documentation on how the containment radiation monitor values used to indicate a loss of the fuel clad and potential loss of containment fission product barriers were derived.
2.2  The bases for the development of site specific EALs are provided in NEI 99-01 Rev 5. The guidance in the NEI document is generic in nature and is therefore not intended to be entirely used "as is." It is intended to give the logic for developing site specific EAL threshold values (Section 5.3 of NEI 9~-01 ).
2.3  NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 fuel clad barrier threshold #2 provides the following guidance for FPB FC7 .1 (L):
The site specific value corresponds to 300µCi/gm1-131 equivalent. Assessment by the EAL Task Force indicates that this amount of coolant activity is well above that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to less than 5% fuel clad damage. This amount of radioactivity indicates significant clad damage and thus the Fuel Clad Barrier is considered lost.
The value can be expressed either in mRlhr observed on the sample or as
      µCi/gm results from analysis.

BVPS EAL Technical Bases Calculations - FC2(L), FC7(L), RC2(L) and CT2(PL) 2.4    NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 containment barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB CT2.1 (PL):
The site specific reading is a value which indicates significant fuel damage well in excess of the thresholds associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS barriers. As stated in Section 3.8 [of NEI 99-01 ], a major release of radioactivity requiring off-site protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant.
Regardless of whether containment is challenged, this amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted.
NUREG-1228, "Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. Unless there is a site specific analysis justifying a higher value, it is recommended that a radiation monitor reading corresponding to 20% fuel clad damage be specified here.
2.5  NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 fuel clad barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB FC2.1 (L):
The site specific reading is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage, into the containment.
The reading should be calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 into the containment atmosphere.
Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine, spiking) allowed within technical specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage.
Caution: it is important to recognize that in the event the radiation monitor is sensitive to shine from the reactor vessel or piping, spurious readings will be present and another indicator of fuel clad damage is necessary or compensated for in the threshold value.
2.6  NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 reactor.coolant barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB RC2.1 (L):
The site specific reading is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment.
The reading should be calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with normal operating concentrations (i.e., within TIS) into the containment atmosphere.

This reading will be less than that specified for FC2(L)1. Thus, this threshold would be indicative of a RCS leak only. If the radiation monitor reading increased to that specified by Fuel Clad barrier threshold, fuel damage. would also be indicated.
However, if the site specific physical location of the containment radiation monitor is such that radiation from a cloud of released RCS gases could not be distinguished from radiation from adjacent piping and components containing elevated reactor coolant activity, this threshold should be omitted and other site specific indications of RCS leakage substituted.
2.7  FC7 Loss: The methodology used to determine the equivalent amount of fuel clad damage associated with an RCS activity of 300 µCi/gm is a simple mathematical relationship between the total DEl-131 activity in the fuel clad and the target DEl-131 activity for the given % clad damage.
2.8  CT2 Potential Loss: The methodology used to develop the containment radiation monitor reading graph for 20% clad damage is by curve fit from table data provided in calculation 10080-UR(B)-507.
2.9  FC2 Loss: The methodology used to devetop the containment radiation monitor reading graph for the 300 µCi/gm DEl-131 is by ratio of the 20% clad damage monitor readings to 300 µCi/gm DEl-131 equivalent% clad damage monitor readings. This differs from the monitor response calculated in UR(B)-507, which uses an operational equilibrium mix of 0.35 µCi/g as the basis. The isotopic ratios associated with 20% clad failure is representative of fuel failure event while the operational equilibrium isotopic ratios are not. This provides better alignment with the NEI basis for the FC2 Loss threshold.
2.1 O RC2 Loss: The methodology used to develop the containment radiation monitor*
reading values for the high TS DEl-131 is by ratio of the 0.35 µCi/gm DEl-131 monitor readings to 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 monitor readings. This methodology is acceptable because if RCS activity exceeds the 0.35 µCi/gm DEl-131 value, then Technical Specification Figure 3.4.16-1 requires that it remain below the high setpoint of 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 for full power operation.

BVPS EAL Technical Bases Calculations - FC2(L), FC7(L), RC2(L) and CT2{PL) 4    ASSUMPTIONS 4.1  The NUREG-1465 Table 3.13 gap release fraction of 0.05 (5%) for halogens was selected over the 3% value in the note to table 3.13 which assumes long-term core cooling is maintained. This assumption results in a slightly lower calculated clad failure value and is conservative with regard to the containment monitor reading used for the fission product barrier threshold.
* 4.2  A pressurizer liquid volume of 708 ft 3 from 10080-UR(B)-484 was included in the total coolant volume used to determine the % clad failure equivalent to 300
        µCi/gm DEl-131. At 60% pressurizer level for normal operation volume is calculated to be approximately 842 ft3. At 1404 kW pressurizer heater capac~ty, all heater banks are capable of supporting a normal operations. spray flow rate of around 85 gpm, thereby replacing the liquid volume once each 75 minutes. Unit 2 currently has 974 kW heater output (plus 430 kW proportional heater in auto),
which results in a recirculation time of -100 to* 120 minutes. Unit 1 would be longer at around 200 minutes. Both of these time periods fall within the period used to develop the fission product barrier containment radiation monitor reading graphs.
4.3  The 20% clad failure CRM values developed in this document are based on the lower monitor reading of each unit for ease of use. Inherent assumption limitations and operational variability of the input parameters (i.e. maximum i      source term) make the use of the lower monitor value reasonable and slightly conservative.
* U1 2198 readings are 88% of the U1 219A readings.
* U2 206 readings are 96% of the U2 207 readings.
4.4  The CRM values for the 0 to 1 hour period are set at the 1 hour value for ease of use. Calculated values show fluctuation up and down over several decades of range hindering the prompt determination of barrier status. Establishing a single value for the 0 to 1 hour period is reasonable and conservative.
4.5  TS basis B 3.4.16 analyses are for two cases of RCS activity. The RC2 threshold values are based on the higher RCS TS activity of 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 to provide an on scale CRM reading.

BVPS EAL Technical Bases Calculations - FC2(L), FC7(L), RC2(L) and CT2(PL) 1 PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES 1.1 Documentation of the correlation of 300 µCi/gm DEl-131 (dose equivalent iodine

- 131) to a percent fuel clad damage for the Fission Product Barrier (FPS)

FC7 .1 (L) basis.

1.2 Documentation of the derivation of the containment radiation monitor (CRM) FPB threshold values used to represent FC2.1 (L), RC2.1 (L) and CT2. t(PL).

1.3 The following calculations define the objectives of this document:

1.3.1 FC7 .1 (L) - % fuel clad damage associated with an RCS activity of 300

µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131.

1.3.2 CT2.1 (PL) - CRM readings associated with 20% fuel clad damage for various times after reactor shutdown (1-48 hours).

1.3.3 FC2.1 (L) - CRM readings associated with the fuel clad damage equivalent of 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 for various times after reactor shutdown (1-48 hours).

1.3.4 RC2.1 {L) - CRM reading associated with the equivalent of TS RCS activity being released instantaneously into containment.

2 METHODOLOGY 2.1 The Beaver Valley U1 and U2 EAL Technical Basis Manuals contain the bases and references for the site specific EAL threshold values used to implement the NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 guidance methodology. This calculation has been developed to provide additional detailed technical documentation on how the containment radiation monitor values used to indicate a loss of the fuel clad and potential loss of containment fission product barriers were derived.

2.2 The bases for the development of site specific EALs are provided in NEI 99-01 Rev 5. The guidance in the NEI document is generic in nature and is therefore not intended to be entirely used "as is." It is intended to give the logic for developing site specific EAL threshold values (Section 5.3 of NEI 9~-01 ).

2.3 NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 fuel clad barrier threshold #2 provides the following guidance for FPB FC7 .1 (L):

The site specific value corresponds to 300µCi/gm1-131 equivalent. Assessment by the EAL Task Force indicates that this amount of coolant activity is well above that expected for iodine spikes and corresponds to less than 5% fuel clad damage. This amount of radioactivity indicates significant clad damage and thus the Fuel Clad Barrier is considered lost.

The value can be expressed either in mRlhr observed on the sample or as

µCi/gm results from analysis.

BVPS EAL Technical Bases Calculations - FC2(L), FC7(L), RC2(L) and CT2(PL) 2.4 NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 containment barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB CT2.1 (PL):

The site specific reading is a value which indicates significant fuel damage well in excess of the thresholds associated with both loss of Fuel Clad and loss of RCS barriers. As stated in Section 3.8 [of NEI 99-01 ], a major release of radioactivity requiring off-site protective actions from core damage is not possible unless a major failure of fuel cladding allows radioactive material to be released from the core into the reactor coolant.

Regardless of whether containment is challenged, this amount of activity in containment, if released, could have such severe consequences that it is prudent to treat this as a potential loss of containment, such that a General Emergency declaration is warranted.

NUREG-1228, "Source Estimations During Incident Response to Severe Nuclear Power Plant Accidents," indicates that such conditions do not exist when the amount of clad damage is less than 20%. Unless there is a site specific analysis justifying a higher value, it is recommended that a radiation monitor reading corresponding to 20% fuel clad damage be specified here.

2.5 NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 fuel clad barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB FC2.1 (L):

The site specific reading is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant, with elevated activity indicative of fuel damage, into the containment.

The reading should be calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with a concentration of 300 µCi/gm dose equivalent 1-131 into the containment atmosphere.

Reactor coolant concentrations of this magnitude are several times larger than the maximum concentrations (including iodine, spiking) allowed within technical specifications and are therefore indicative of fuel damage.

Caution: it is important to recognize that in the event the radiation monitor is sensitive to shine from the reactor vessel or piping, spurious readings will be present and another indicator of fuel clad damage is necessary or compensated for in the threshold value.

2.6 NEI 99-01 Rev. 5 basis information for PWR EAL table 5-F-3 reactor.coolant barrier threshold #6 provides the following guidance for FPB RC2.1 (L):

The site specific reading is a value which indicates the release of reactor coolant to the containment.

The reading should be calculated assuming the instantaneous release and dispersal of the reactor coolant noble gas and iodine inventory associated with normal operating concentrations (i.e., within TIS) into the containment atmosphere.

This reading will be less than that specified for FC2(L)1. Thus, this threshold would be indicative of a RCS leak only. If the radiation monitor reading increased to that specified by Fuel Clad barrier threshold, fuel damage. would also be indicated.

However, if the site specific physical location of the containment radiation monitor is such that radiation from a cloud of released RCS gases could not be distinguished from radiation from adjacent piping and components containing elevated reactor coolant activity, this threshold should be omitted and other site specific indications of RCS leakage substituted.

2.7 FC7 Loss: The methodology used to determine the equivalent amount of fuel clad damage associated with an RCS activity of 300 µCi/gm is a simple mathematical relationship between the total DEl-131 activity in the fuel clad and the target DEl-131 activity for the given % clad damage.

2.8 CT2 Potential Loss: The methodology used to develop the containment radiation monitor reading graph for 20% clad damage is by curve fit from table data provided in calculation 10080-UR(B)-507.

2.9 FC2 Loss: The methodology used to devetop the containment radiation monitor reading graph for the 300 µCi/gm DEl-131 is by ratio of the 20% clad damage monitor readings to 300 µCi/gm DEl-131 equivalent% clad damage monitor readings. This differs from the monitor response calculated in UR(B)-507, which uses an operational equilibrium mix of 0.35 µCi/g as the basis. The isotopic ratios associated with 20% clad failure is representative of fuel failure event while the operational equilibrium isotopic ratios are not. This provides better alignment with the NEI basis for the FC2 Loss threshold.

2.1 O RC2 Loss: The methodology used to develop the containment radiation monitor*

reading values for the high TS DEl-131 is by ratio of the 0.35 µCi/gm DEl-131 monitor readings to 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 monitor readings. This methodology is acceptable because if RCS activity exceeds the 0.35 µCi/gm DEl-131 value, then Technical Specification Figure 3.4.16-1 requires that it remain below the high setpoint of 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 for full power operation.

BVPS EAL Technical Bases Calculations - FC2(L), FC7(L), RC2(L) and CT2{PL) 4 ASSUMPTIONS 4.1 The NUREG-1465 Table 3.13 gap release fraction of 0.05 (5%) for halogens was selected over the 3% value in the note to table 3.13 which assumes long-term core cooling is maintained. This assumption results in a slightly lower calculated clad failure value and is conservative with regard to the containment monitor reading used for the fission product barrier threshold.

  • 4.2 A pressurizer liquid volume of 708 ft 3 from 10080-UR(B)-484 was included in the total coolant volume used to determine the % clad failure equivalent to 300

µCi/gm DEl-131. At 60% pressurizer level for normal operation volume is calculated to be approximately 842 ft3. At 1404 kW pressurizer heater capac~ty, all heater banks are capable of supporting a normal operations. spray flow rate of around 85 gpm, thereby replacing the liquid volume once each 75 minutes. Unit 2 currently has 974 kW heater output (plus 430 kW proportional heater in auto),

which results in a recirculation time of -100 to* 120 minutes. Unit 1 would be longer at around 200 minutes. Both of these time periods fall within the period used to develop the fission product barrier containment radiation monitor reading graphs.

4.3 The 20% clad failure CRM values developed in this document are based on the lower monitor reading of each unit for ease of use. Inherent assumption limitations and operational variability of the input parameters (i.e. maximum i source term) make the use of the lower monitor value reasonable and slightly conservative.

  • U1 2198 readings are 88% of the U1 219A readings.
  • U2 206 readings are 96% of the U2 207 readings.

4.4 The CRM values for the 0 to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> period are set at the 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> value for ease of use. Calculated values show fluctuation up and down over several decades of range hindering the prompt determination of barrier status. Establishing a single value for the 0 to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> period is reasonable and conservative.

4.5 TS basis B 3.4.16 analyses are for two cases of RCS activity. The RC2 threshold values are based on the higher RCS TS activity of 21 µCi/gm DEl-131 to provide an on scale CRM reading.
