REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST FOR REVISIONS TO THE FUEL HANDLING ACCIDENT DOSE ASSESSMENT TAC NO. ME8992 By application dated June 25, 2012 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession Number ML121850025), Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD),

requested an amendment to Facility Operating License DPR-46 under the provisions of 10 CFR 50.4 and 10 CFR 50.90 to revise the Cooper Nuclear Station (CNS) Updated Safety Analysis Report to reflect changes to the Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) dose assessment.

Section 2.5, "Atmospheric Dispersion (X/Q) Factors," of Attachment 4 to the application states, in part:

"The X/Q values are taken from existing CNS calculations developed specifically for various Control Room Intake, Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB), and Low Population Zone (LPZ) receptor points for use in the development of the bounding DeSign Basis Accidents (DBA)

Radiological Analysis. These receptor locations were previously determine to be the most limiting in determining compliance with the dose criteria established.

'The control room intake X/Q values were taken from reference 23 for a release emanating from the Reactor Building. The reactor building vent release case was analyzed as a ground release for three release rates through the reactor building vent. The lowest release flow which coincides with the highest X/Q values was chosen for the most conservative approach. ...
