Gentlemen:

SUBJECT:

Response to Request for Additional Information on Five Year License Extension for Fort Calhoun Station Reference 3 included three questions regarding the information submitted by OPPD in Reference 2.

In the process of preparing the responses, several clarifications of the questions were required. On April 30, 1987, as a result of a conference call between OPPD and the NRC, the following clarifications were made:

1.

The first question should reference five additional years of service.

2.

Question 2(a) asked for man-rem exposure data for years 1978 through 1985, organized by plant system.

OPPD has historical exposure data based on job function and not by plant system.

The NRC said that this data would be acceptable.

3.

Question 2(b) requests projections of man-rem exposure for the years 2008 to 2013. A clarification of the duration was made.

The applicable time frame is from 2009 through 2013.

D-When transporting radioactive material, the primary reliance for safety is placed on the packaging. Regulatory requirements (10 CFR 71 and 49 CFR 173 and 178) establish the guidelines that pack-aging must meet. Regulatory limits are established according to the type and form of material for heat dissipation, shielding, con-tainment and nuclear criticality safety.

Because packaging is in accordance with the provided standards, the following items shall be met:

(a)

Shielding efficiency shall be retained.

-(b)

Loss or dispersal of the radioactive contents shall be pre-vented.

-(c)

Nuclear criticality safety shall be assured.

(d)

Adequate heat dissipation under normal conditions of trans-port shall be provided.

(Also includes transport under spec-ified accident damage test conditions).

There are limitations on contents of packages not designed to with-stand accidents.

Therefore, in case of an accident, the risk from possible release would be limited.

Package contents must be limit-ed so that regulations regarding external radiation levels, pres-sure, containment and temperature are met. I

' REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION LICENSE EXTENSION FOR FORT CALHOUN STATION,. UNIT NO. 1 4

.1.?

M/RA MEASURES

' Discuss specific'ALARA measures which will be utilized during the 7 addi-tional years of service.

t

RESPONSE

/

As discussed in the cover letter, this question should address only 5~

additional. years of service.

.This response is based on specific ALARA measures currently in place, and the existence of management goals that support the continued in-provement of an effective ALARA program. As goals are achieved, they i

are reevaluated and new goals set. Because of this strategy, OPPD's ALARA programs are continually growing and changing.

Omaha Public Power District (OPPD) is committed to evaluating and imple-l menting-(as appropriate) new ALARA measures as they are developed. The:

company can only speculate o1 specific future ALARA measures that may be utilized during the five additional years of service. Robotics, remote surveillance, remote tooling and improved decontamination could be major factors in achieving ALARA doses.

The company is staying abreast of emerging ALARA concepts through its membership in INPO, EPRI, NUMARC and other organizations. Management at tention has been focused on ALARA by the Fort Calhoun Station ALARA Committae and the Radiation Protection Program Coordinating Committee. An ALARA Radiation Exposure Program has been' implemented and audited by the NRC. The program focuses on in-creased management attention on ALARA and includes OPPD's plant, offsite l

support, design and construction personnel. The program establishes a

)

Corporate ALARA Committee, ar.d defines responsibilities and authority for developing, implementing and maintaining the company wide "ALARA Radiation Exposure Program."

Soecific Neasures in Proaress i

1.

Six corporate ALARA goals have been established for 1987. These goals are being tracked throughout this year. These goals are reevaluated annually. Examples of specific corporate. goals are:

a goal for total man-rem exposure, a goal for total curies in gaseous effluent releases and a goal for total radioactive waste materials shipped.

2.

Nine goals s)ecific to Fort Calhoun Station have been established for 1987. T1ese goals are being tracked during the year and like the corporate goals, are reevaluated annually.

Examples of spe-cific plant goals are: a goal for increasing the percentage of the auxiliary building classified as clean controlled areas, a goal for reducing the percentage of the auxiliary building classi-fled as requiring a respirator, a goal for reducing plant depart-mental exposures during a refueling year, and several reduced ex-posure goals for specific high radiation jobs.

i ;

t

e

+

3.

Pre-job ALARA planning and post-job interviews are being done to reduce future doses, j

'4.

A Fuel Integrity Program has been established. Testing of all fuel going back into the core for Cycle 11 was performed. No leak-f ing fuel was reloaded. Offloaded fuel was also tested and inspect-ed so that failure modes can be identified and, if possible,.cor-rected in the future. Chemical sampling during power changes mea-

'sures reactor coolant activity. Reactor coolant activity levels have been established to require specific corrective actions if fuel leakage is suspected.

5.

Containment purge techniques were reviewed'and revised to.emove radioactivity as rapidly as allowed to reduce outage exposure and still stay within 10 CFR 20 and 10 CFR 50 requirements.

l 6.

Radwaste volume reduction is being aggressively pursued by a com-mittee composed of plant, engineering and technical support groups. A new building is under design to allow the company to use state of the art volume reduction (VR) techniques. Various VR processes are being tested presently at the plant.

4 4

7.

A decontamination crew has been added to the plant staff.

8.

A steam generator mock-up has been used to reduce high dose gen-erator work. More mock-ups are planned to be used in the new training building.

9.

At the plant, a formal ALARA suggestion program is in place, l

i 10.

Adoption of EPRI primary chemistry guidelines is under evaluation.

I Use of coordinated lithium-borate chemical control is being con-sidered to prevent radiation buildup in the reactor coolant sys-1 i

tem.

Continuation of existing ALARA measures coupled with an improving ALARA program should lower the dose received during future refueling and nor-mal operations.

2.

DOSE _ ASSESSMENT a)

Provide a table showing Fort Calhoun personnel exposure experi-ences for the years 1978 thru 1985 indicating the man-rem expo-sures by olant system, regardless of how these exposures were i

obtained (e.g., during normal operations, maintenance, repair or refueling activities) and by whom (e.g., by plant operations per-sonnel, plant maintenance personnel, contractor / vendor personnel, etc.).

l

RESPONSE

l-As discussed in the cover letter, OPPD does not accumulate man-rem exposures by plant system, therefore, the following tables show the whole body (TLD) man rem exposures of Fort Calhoun Station personnel according to job function at the plant.

Fort Calhoun 2

I

Station radiation exposure is tracked in this manner. This infor-mation is further broken down into three subcategories denoting an OPPD employee who is permanently stationed at the )lant, an OPPD utility employee who is temporarily stationed at tie plant or a non-0 PPD employee who is classified as a contractor.

The data for the tables was taken from the compilation of the monthly OPPD Personnel Radiation Exposure Reports. Table 2.a.1 shows by job category the total annuni man-rem exposures to Fort Calhoun Station personnel for the years 1978 through 1985. The yearly plant totals are given along with totals according to job function. Table 2.a.2 shows the total yearly and average whole body plant ex)osures according to job function.

Tables 2.a.3 thru 2.a.10 show tie yearly exposures which are subdivided into the three employee categories mentioned previously.

It should be noted that the data differs from results published in the OPPD Annual Reports for Technical Specification 5.9.1.b.

That section is an Annual Occupational Exposure Report whose dose assignments to the various job functions at Fort Calhoun Station may be based on pocket dosimeter, TLD, or film badge measurements.

It also only reports personnel with an exposure greater than 100 mrem. The data utilized for this submittal is strictly whole body (TLD) exposure and includes all personnel exposed, not just those

>100 mrem. Because of the difference in data used for compilation purposes, the results will vary.

Provide a similar table for the years 2008 to 2013.

Include doses from expected decontamination, decommissioning, additional mainten--

ance and related doses.

RESPONSE

As discussed in the cover letter, the requested information.is -

being provided for the five additional years of service..The man-rem exposure to Fort Calhoun Station personnel for the years 2009 - 2013 are projections based on factual data obtained from whole body (TLD) readings documented from 1978 - 1985_according to job function. These projections da not include estimations for-plant decommissioning since decommissioning is a one-time source of exposure.

Exposures for decommissioning are expected to be identical. for a 2008 and 2013 plant shutdown.

Estimates for ex-tensive decontamination and special maintenance are also not in-cluded. ToLdate, the Fort Calhoun Station has not needed to utilize special or extensive decontamination methods.. Improve-ments in the ALARA prograa at Fort Calhoun Station along with tech-nological advancements in robotics, chemistry control,and decontam-ination processes should help to keep these exposures to a mini-mum.

.The projections for exposure are also based on estimated refueling outage schedules assuming eighteen-month fuel cycles.

For the five additional years, 2009'- 2013, it is estimated that there-will be three additional refueling cycle years and two non-refuel-ing cycle years. Table 2.b.1 shows the remaining and projected refueling outages.

Table 2.b.2 shows estimated exposures to personnel based on aver-age exposures received in outage years 1978,_1980, 1981, 1983, 1984, 1985, and non-outage years 1979 and 1982. These predictions are being treated as upper values. since dose savings from a con-tinually improving ALARA program should offset dose allowance for crud buildup. The predicted value is 106.3 man-rem for a non-out-age year and 443.7 man-rem for a refueling outage year. There-fore, for the five additional years, 2009 - 2013, the predicted total dose is 1543.2 man-rem.

'10 CFR PART 51.52 a)

' Provide information concerning the requirements set forth in:10 CFR 51.52,.." Environmental Effects of Transportation of Fuel and Waste: - Table S-4" regarding transportation of fuel and radio-active wastes to and from the site.

Include a statement or a.

commitment which confirms that you will meet the transportation

. conditions 'of either Paragraph (a)lor _(b) of 10 CFR 51.52.

RESPONSE

The following statements meet the six transportation conditions of Para-

-graph (a) of 10 CFR 51.52.

(1)

.The reactor core thermal power level for Fort Calhoun_ Station is-1500 megawatts.

'(2)..The _ initial enrichment of Uranium-235 for the Fort Calhoun fuel assemblies does not exceed 3.8% by weight.: The current fuel man--

agement scheme for Fort Calhoun is a low radial leakage design with a core reload every 18 months. The possibility exists for Fort Calhoun to increase its fuel-cycle length to 24 months while maintaining the current fuel management scheme.

If this possibil-

ity is implemented, the initial enrichment of Uranium-235 for Fort Calhoun fuel will most likely exceed 4% by weight.

.(3)

Presently, OPPD has no plans to transport Fort Calhoun nuclear fuel assemblies from the reactor site.

If fuel assemblies were to be transported, the District would meet the two criteria as men-tioned in the third condition of 10 CFR 51.52, part (a).

(4)

The radioactive waste shipped from the reactor is reduced to a

solid form and packaged.

(5)

Unirradiated fuel is shipped to the Fort Calhoun reactor by truck.

Presently, OPPD does not have plans to ship irradiated fuel off-site. However, if needed, irradiated fuel assemblies would be shipped by truck, rail, or barge. Radioactive waste is transport-ed from the plant by truck.

(6)

The Department of Transportation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commis-sion regulate the transportation of radioactive material. The pub-lic, along with transport workers, are protected from excessive radiation exposure by adherence to these regulations. ' A combina-tion of standards and requirements which are applicable to packag-ing help achieve this protection. There are limitations on radia-tion levels from packages and on their contents. Also, persons

.under normal and accident conditions have procedures which limit their exposures.

The Fort Calhoun Station Radiation Protection Manual, Section 11, covers the procedures governing process control, mixing, shipping, l

determination of curie content, waste form classifications, out-side storage and movement requirements, inventory control, collec-l tion and disposal practices, and packaging of radioactive waste.
