This auxiliary building isolation (ABI) may occur as a result of fuel handling accidents or spills and leaks within the auxiliary building. A loss of coolant accident (LOCA) also results in an ABI as part of the secondary containment enclosure. The double isolation dampers have a manual override switch, allowing opening or closing. Fire dampers are installed in the CDWEB-to-auxiliary building wall penetrations.

The potential for radioactive exposure to personnel because of this is negligible since the CDWE System Operating Instructions (501) include references to a S0I for recovery from ABI, which limits the time period of CDWE operation with concurrent ABI. Manual override switches are provided, allowing opening of the isolation dampers for exhausting CDWEB air.

== Conclusion:==

Conclusion:==
The concern is not valid with respect to unacceptable iodine concentration in the CDWEB.       The necessary simultaneous occurrence   l' of the abnormal conditions causing the vent gas to back up into the CDWEB and the normally low potential for radioactivity in the vent gas, coupled with the system operating instructions for CDWE shutdown and recovery from an ABI, make hazardous exposure to radioactive iodine very unlikely.                                       l The concern is valid in that there is no continuous monitoring for potential airborne radioactivity in the CDWEB. However, a clear need for such a monitor could not be established because of the negligible amount of contamination normally expected. No design change is required prior to restart. However, the remote potential       l hazard to personnel may be inconsistent with ALARA guidelines. The need for monitoring on a continuing basis'could be established by temporarily installing an air monitoring system. Administrative         l l                procedures do exist for shut down of the CDWE and remote manual opening of the auxiliary building isolation dampers for exhausting of airborne contamination.
The concern is not valid with respect to unacceptable iodine concentration in the CDWEB.
The design drawings of the CDWE package require updating to match the ECNs, DCRs, and as-built configuration.                             l 01580 - 12/29/86

g I

The CDWE is located in a separate building (CDWEB) adjacent to the southeast corner of the auxiliary building. The 30 gpm capacity evaporator package was provided by Horton Process Design (HPD) Inc.

and is a forced-circulation, vertical tube heater type.

It was primarily intended for concentrating the neutralized spent regenerating liquids from the condensate polishing demineralizer system (CPDS). The CPDS was designed for full-flow treatment of the secondary (turbine steam) loop condensate.

The CDWE was also designed as backup to the 2 gpm capacity waste evaporator and the 15 gpm capacity auxiliary waste evaporator for processing floor and tritiated drain wastes.

Air induced by the CDWEB supply fan through a duct from the auxiliary building is used for ventilation. This ventilation air is supplied to areas of low potential for radioactive contamination and migrates to areas of progressively higher potential for contamination. The CDWEB exhaust fan returns air from the area with highest contamination potential through a duct to the exhaust l

system in the auxiliary building. Double isolation dampers in the ventilation ducts to and from the auxiliary building close when the auxiliary building stack monitor detects high radiation.

This auxiliary building isolation (ABI) may occur as a result of fuel handling accidents or spills and leaks within the auxiliary building. A loss of coolant accident (LOCA) also results in an ABI as part of the secondary containment enclosure. The double isolation dampers have a manual override switch, allowing opening or closing. Fire dampers are installed in the CDWEB-to-auxiliary building wall penetrations. Two separate air conditioning systems are p'rovided in the CDWEB for heat removal, one serving rooms of low potential for contamination, and one serving rooms of high potential for contamination. The CDWEB has a monitored door to the outside for emergency exit.

Per HPD piping and instrument diagrams 101 through 106 (App. A, 5.f), there are five equipment vent lines originating from the CDWE package: a 6-inch heater relief valve discharge line and a 4-inch blowdown tank rupture disc relief lire exhausting through the roof; one 2-inch vent line each from the tilowdown and the bottoms tank; and a 1-inch line from the vent gas cooler. The latter three tie together and were originally routed to the waste gas system (WGS) in the auxiliary building.

01580 - 12/29/86

TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER: 230.5 (B)

SPECIAL PROGRAM REVISION NUMBER: 1 PAGE 6 0F 14 A TVA memo from D. R. Patterson to R. M. Pierce ( App. A, 5.v),

dated 11/13/79, initiated rerouting of the three combined CDWE equipment vents through the CDWEB roof to atmosphere.

The reason for rerouting was that the vent gas cooler noncondensible mass flow (45 lb/hr) exceeded the WGS capacity. More importantly, the WGS processes hydrogen-rich gases from the Chemical and Volume Control System (CVCS) holdup vessels and adding gases containing oxygen is specifically prohibited.

A letter from HPD to TVA ( App. A, 5.s), dated 10/23/86 corrected I

the noncondensible mass flow to 4.5 lb/hr, down from 45 lb/hr.

The recommendation of the above memo was incorporated into the design by ECN SQN 2744 ( App. A, 5.b), and is reflected on Drawing 47W560-23 R3, Section G23 - G23 ( App. A. 5.g).

This change created the potential for an unmonitored release point.

l A TVA memo from J. C. Standifer to G. Wadewitz ( App. A, 5.h), dated I

l?/22/83, replied to an earlier memo from G. Wadewitz to J. C.

Standifer (App. A, 5.1), which quotes an HPD Inc. design i

representative expressing concern over a remote possibility of contaminants exhausting through the vent gas cooler vent line under abnormal evaporator operation. Standifer added that in view of the recent decision to process radwaste through the CDWE, the vent gas cooler line should be rerouted again, this time into the CDWEB ventilation duct returning to the auxiliary building. The TVA memo

( App. A, 5.h) further committed to issuing an ECN for routing the vent gas cooler vent line into the ventilation duct. While such an ECN could not be located, a TVA memo from H. J. Creen to M. N.

Sprouse ( App. A, 5.j), dated 11/09/83, transmitted field-completed I

SQ-DCR-L-1941, ( App. A, 5.k), which documented rerouting of the vent gas cooler and slurry tank vent lines to the ventilation duct.

(See Appendix B for a schematic depiction of the CDWEB.)

This routing was verified by a site inspection ( App. A, 5.x).

This l

change removed the potential for uraanitorcd release from the CDWEB, but created the pot:ntial for backup of radioactive contaminants in the CDWEB during periods of an ABI.

[

Per Table 12.1.4-1 of the SNP FSAR, ( App. A, 5.a) there is no area radiation monitor located in the CDWEB.

Detailed Design Criteria No. SQN-DC-V-22.0, ( App. A, 5.e) specifies a liquid radwaste disposal system modification to replace the installed waste and auxiliary waste evaporators with byperfiltration units (HFU).

The HFUs will be designed for i

processing radwaste and neutralized CPDS waste. Further 4

concentration of these wastes is intended by the CDWE.

0158D - 12/29/86

TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER: 230.5(B)

SPECIAL PROGRAM REVISION Nt;MBER:

1 PAGE 7 0F 14 The HFU and CDWE are not safety-related and their functions are not l

required for tost-accident operation.

Table 11.2.2-2 of the SNP FSAR ( App. A, 5.a) shows the radionuclide I

discharge rates from the waste evaporator and auxiliary waste evaporator package vents (including iodines) under normal operation as negligible. These rates correspond to the CDWE package vent rates when processing radwaste.

Per telephone conversation with TVA, (App. A, 6.h; 10/31/86), a CDWE vent activity release rate l

study is presently in progress to confirm this.

The waste evaporator areas in the auxiliary building are monitored for area radiation levels. Since the CDWE is now routinely processing radwaste, the same criteria for monitoring could apply to the CDWEB as well.

Per Nuclear Operating Experience Inc. Reports 352 and 353 (App. A, 5.p), frequent ABIs occurred at Sequoyah from January through April 1984 due to normal maintenance operations and spurious signals.

ABI is a safety-related function and control room annunciation is provided.

TVA System Operating Instructions S01-77.183 (App. A, 5.t) requires

[

shutting down the CDWE upon an ABI, and verifying isolation damper opening prior to restarting the CDWE. TVA System Operating Instructions 50I-30.5D (App. A, 5.u) requires resetting of the l

auxiliary building isolation signal within 15 minutes of an ABI or shutting down the CDWE.

Findings:

I a.

ECNs and DCRs confirm routing of. the vent gas cooler and other CDWE package vents into the ventilation duct leading to l

the auxiliary building. The evaporator vendor drawings and l

TVA drawings have not been revised to reflect these changes.

b.

There is a remote potential for backup of radioactive contaminants in the vent duct during periods of auxiliary building isolation and simultaneous abnormal evaporator operation.

The expected contaminant level is negligible during normal evaporator operation.

01580 - 12/29/86

TVA EMPLOYEE CONCERNS REPORT NUMBER: 230.5(8)

SPECIAL PROGRAM REVISION NUMBER:

1 PAGE 8 0F 14 Past history indicates that erroneous isolation of the c.

auxiliat}y building and associated automatic closing of the isolation dampers in the ventilation ducts can be expected.

The potential for radioactive exposure to personnel because of this is negligible since the CDWE System Operating Instructions (501) include references to a S0I for recovery from ABI, which limits the time period of CDWE operation with concurrent ABI. Manual override switches are provided, allowing opening of the isolation dampers for exhausting CDWEB air.

d.

Since no immediate corrective actions are necessary, no documentation is required.

If the current TVA review of the CDWE vent activity rates suggests adding an area or continuous air monitor to the CDWEB, it will be documented under the as-low-as-reasonably-achievable (ALARA) program.

l

==

Conclusion:==

The concern is not valid with respect to unacceptable iodine concentration in the CDWEB.

The necessary simultaneous occurrence l'

of the abnormal conditions causing the vent gas to back up into the CDWEB and the normally low potential for radioactivity in the vent gas, coupled with the system operating instructions for CDWE shutdown and recovery from an ABI, make hazardous exposure to l

radioactive iodine very unlikely.

The concern is valid in that there is no continuous monitoring for potential airborne radioactivity in the CDWEB.

However, a clear need for such a monitor could not be established because of the negligible amount of contamination normally expected. No design change is required prior to restart. However, the remote potential l

hazard to personnel may be inconsistent with ALARA guidelines. The need for monitoring on a continuing basis'could be established by temporarily installing an air monitoring system. Administrative l

procedures do exist for shut down of the CDWE and remote manual l

opening of the auxiliary building isolation dampers for exhausting of airborne contamination.

The design drawings of the CDWE package require updating to match the ECNs, DCRs, and as-built configuration.

10. CORRECTIVE ACTION:

A TVA letter (App. A, 5.w) transmitted the corrective action plan (CAP) which will consist of an ECN by the Mechanical Engineering Branch (MEB) to revise the applicable drawings reflecting as-built routing of the CDWE vent lines per SQ-DCR-L-1941. This is to include the flow sheet from HPD (App. A, 5.f) correcting the vent gas cooler noncondensible flow per HPD Letter (App. A, 5.s).

ALARA concerns regarding airborne contamination in the CDWEB will be evaluated and documented by the Nuclear Engineering Branch (NEB).
