1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this calculation is to determine the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB), Low Population Zone (LPZ), and Control Room (CR) doses due to a Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA) using the Alternative Source Term (AST) and core thermal power level of 4,031 MWt, including the instrument uncertainty.
2.0 BACKGROUND
Hope Creek Technical Specification (TS) LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) 3/4.3.10 requires that two channels of the main steam line radiation
-high, high function for the mechanical vacuum pump (MVP) trip shall be operable.
This LCO 3/4.3.10 assures that the post-CRDA fission product release path to the environment would be through the main condenser.
The MVP trip is required to be OPERABLE in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1 and 2 when any mechanical vacuum pump is in service (i.e., taldng a suction on the main condenser) and any main steam line is not isolated, to mitigate the consequences of a postulated CRDA. In this condition fission products released during a CRDA could be discharged directly to the environment.
Therefore, the MVP trip is necessary to assure conformance with this calculation's assumption that the post-CRDA radiological release path is via the condenser.
In OPERATIONAL CONDITION 3, 4 or 5, the consequences of a CRDA are insignificant, and are not expected to result in any fuel damage or fission product releases.
When the MVP is not in service or the main steam lines are isolated, fission product releases via the MVP pathway would not occur.The function of MVP is to evacuate the condenser during startup. Operating Procedure HC.OP-SO.CG-0001(Q) (Ref. 9.11) includes Precaution 3.1.2, which identifies that operation of the mechanical vacuum pumps while radioactive steam is being admitted to the main condenser will result in high radiation levels at the south plant vent. The procedure also includes Limitation 3.2.4, which calls for securing the mechanical vacuum pumps from service and placing the steam jet air ejectors (SJAE) in service prior to reactor power exceeding 5%. The expected MVP response following a CRDA is to be automatically tripped due to either loss of offsite power or a main steam radiation monitor signal (Ref 9.13). The post-CRDA activity release through the MVP during startup will be insignificant due to the MVP operation limited to 5% core power. For the post-CRDA release through the Gaseous Waste Management System (GWMS) including the SJAE, all of the iodine that enters the off-gas treatment system is retained indefinitely and does not contribute to the CR and off-site dose (Ref. 9.12, page 3). Therefore, the post-CRDA dose impact for the releases through the MVP during the startup at a low power level and GWMS during normal operation at a rated power level will be bounded by the post-CRDA release through the isolated condenser, which is analyzed in the following section.3.0 ANALYTICAL APPROACH: This analysis uses Version 3.02 of the RADTRAD computer code to calculate the potential radiological consequences of the CRDA. The RADTRAD code was developed by Sandia National Laboratories, the NRC's technical contractor, for the staff to use in establishing fission product transport and removal models and in estimating radiological doses at selected receptors at nuclear power plants. The RADTRAD code is documented I Nuclear Common Revision 12 1 I I Nuclear Common Revision 12 I CALCULATION CONTINUATION SHEET SHEET 6 of 24 CALC. NO.: H-1-CG-MDC-1795

G. Patel/NUCORE, ORIGINATOR, DATE REV: 05/10/2006 4 M. Drucker/NUCORE, REVIEWER/VERIFIER, DATE 05/15/2006 in NUREG/CR-6604 (Ref. 9.2). The RADTRAD code is maintained as Software ID Number A-0-ZZ-MCS-0225 (Ref. 9.15).The consequences of a CRDA are analyzed using the as-built plant specific as-built design and licensingbases inputs, which are compatible to the AST and TEDE dose criteria.
There is no specific ESF function credited in the analysis.For the CRD accident, the release from the breached fuel is based on an NRC approved fuel vendor methodology for the number of fuel rods breached and the assumption that 10% of the core inventory of noble gases and iodine, and 12% of the core inventory of alkali metals are in the fuel gaps. The release attributed to fuel melting is based on the fraction of the fuel that reaches or exceeds the initiation temperature for fuel melting and on the assumption that 100% of the noble gases and 50% of the iodines contained in that fraction are released to the reactor coolant. The activities released from the fuel gaps and melted fuel are assumed to be instantaneously mixed in the reactor coolant within the pressure vessel. Of the activity released to the reactor coolant, 100% of the noble gases, 10% of the iodine, and 1% of the remaining radionuclides are assumed to reach the turbine and condenser.
Of the activity that reaches the turbine and condenser, 100% of the noble gases, 10% of the iodine, and 1% of the remaining radionuclides are available for release to the environment.

No credit is taken for dilution or holdup within the turbine building.
The post-CRDA activity from the turbine and condenser can be released to the turbine building (TB) and to the environment at ground level through the south plant vent when offsite power is available; and through the TB louvers/TB vent during a loss of offsite power (Refs. 9.16 & 9.17). The X/Qs for these release paths are obtained from Reference 9.5, Section 8.0, and listed in the following table: HCGS Control Room Time 95% Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Qs) (s/mr)Interval South Plant TB Louvers TB Vent (hr) Vent (s/m3) (s/m3)0-2 5.75E-04 6.17E-04 3.48E-04 2-8 3.84E-04 4.OOE-04 2.55E-04 8-24 1.40E-04 1.44E-04 9.1 lE-05 24-96 9.08E-04 1.00E-04 5.37E-05 96-720 7.01E-04 7.49E-05 3.82E-05 Comparison of X/Qs in the above table indicates that the TB louvers release path is the most limiting release path for the 0 to 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> post-CRDA release prior to the condenser leakage being terminated.
Therefore, the CR dose is calculated using the post-CRDA release through the TB louvers. The Control Room Emergency Filtration (CREF) system is not credited in the analysis.
The CR is assumed to operate in a normal mode of operation with a normal HVAC inflow rate of 3,300 cfin (3,000 cfm + 10 % uncertainty) for the entire duration of the accident.
The resulting doses at the EAB, LPZ, and CR locations are compared with the dose acceptance criteria in Section 7.0.I Nuclear Common Revision 12 1 I Nuclear Common Revision 12 I CALCULATION CONTINUATION SHEET SHEET 7 of 24 CALC. NO.: H-1-CG-MDC-1795

G. Patel/NUCORE, ORIGINATOR, DATE REV: 05/10/2006 4 M. Drucker/NUCORE, REVIEWERNVERIFIER, DATE 05/15/2006 The core activity inventory is obtained from Reference 9.3, which is calculated based on a thermal power level of 4,031 MWt. A radial peaking factor of 1.75 is conservatively used instead of the 1.5 value recommended in Reference 9.6. The isotopic activity available for release from the condenser are calculated in Tables 1 & 2 based on the core activity inventory obtained from Reference 9.3 and the CRDA failed and melted fuel fractions from Reference 9.12 (Section 6.2.2).The RADTRAD V3.02 (Ref 9.2 & 9.15) default nuclide inventory file (NIF) Bwr def. NIP is modified based on the isotopic activities calculated in Table 2. The newly developed plant-specific nuclide inventory file (HEPUCRDA_def.txt) is further modified to include Kr-83m, Xe-13lm, Xe-133m, Xe-135m, Xe-138, Rb-88, and Cs-138 isotopes.
The RADTRAD3.02 dose conversion factor (DCF) File (Fgrl 1&12) is modified to include the DCFs obtained from References 9.7 & 9.8 for the added noble gas isotopes.
The modified DCF file HCRDAFG1I&12.txt is used in the CRDA analysis.
The newly developed release fraction and timing file (HCRDARFT.txt) is used to postulate an instantaneous post-CRDA release. The NIP is developed based on the actual activity in curies released to the environment from the condenser; therefore, the thermal power level is set to unity in the RADTRAD input.Determine Compliance of Increased Dose Consequences With 10CFR50.59 Guidance Consistent with the RG 1.183, Section 1.1.1, once the initial AST implementation has been approved by the staff and has become part of the facility design basis, the licensee may use 10 CFR 50.59 and its supporting guidance in assessing safety margins related to subsequent facility modifications and changes to procedures.
The NRC Safety Evaluation Report for Amendment 134 (Ref. 9.26) approved the AST for the HCGS licensing basis analyses.An increase in control room, EAB or LPZ dose consequence is considered acceptable under the 10 CFR 50.59 rule if the magnitude of the increase is minimal (as defined by the guidance in Refs. 9.23 and 9.24), and if the total calculated dose is less than the allowable regulatory guide 1.183 dose limit. The current licensing basis analysis is documented in the calculation H-1-CG-MDC-1975, Rev 3. The increases in the proposed EAB and CR doses are compared with the 10 CFR 50.59 allowable minimal dose increases in Section 7.2. Similarly, the proposed calculated total doses are compared with the allowable regulatory guide dose limits. The comparisons in Sections 7.2 confirm that the proposed increases in the EAB & CR doses and the total calculated doses are less than the corresponding minimal dose increases and allowable regulatory guide limits. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 guidance as defined in References 9.23 and 9.24, the proposed increase in the core thermal power level and resulting post-CRDA doses can be adopted as current design and licensing bases for the HCGS.I Nuclear Common Revision 12 1 I Nuclear Common Revision 12 I CALCULATION CONTINUATION SHEET SHEET 8 of 24 CALC.

4.0 ASSUMPTIONS
Assumptions for Evaluating the Radiological Consequences of a Control Rod Drop Accident (CRDA)The assumptions in these sections are acceptable for evaluating the radiological consequences of a CRDA.These assumptions supplement the guidance provided in Regulatory Guide 1.183, Appendix C (Ref. 9.1). These assumptions are incorporated as design inputs in Sections 5.3 through 5.5 for the CRDA analysis.Source Term Assumptions 4.1 Per Reference 9.12 (Section 6.2.1), in the event of a CRDA 850 fuel rods are breached, and 0.77 percent of these breached rods experience fuel melt. Per Reference 9.14 there are 764 fuel assemblies contained in the reactor core, and per Reference 9.20 there are 62 fuel rods in each reactor assembly.4.2 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 1, the release from the breached fuel is based on the estimate of the number of fuel rods breached and the assumption that 10% of the core inventory of the noble gases and iodine is in the fuel gap, as incorporated in design input 5.3.1.7. The release attributed toWfuel melting is based on the fraction of the fuel that reaches or exceeds the initiation temperature for fuel melting and on the assumption that 100% of the noble gases and 50% of the iodine contained in that fraction are released to the reactor coolant, as incorporated in design input 5.3.1.11.
In additionper Reference 9.1, Section 3.2, for non-LOCA events the release fraction of Alkali Metals from Table 3 is incorporated in Design Input 5.3.1.7 in conjunction with the core fission product inventory in Design Input 5.3.1.2 for the core thermal power level of 4,031 MWt. The-bromines are neglected from thyroid dose consideration due to their low thyroid dose conversion factors, relatively short half lives, and decaying into insignificant daughters.
4.3 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 3.1, the activity released from either the gap or from fuel pellets is assumed to be instantaneously mixed in the reactor coolant within the pressure vessel.4.4 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 3.2, credit is not assumed for partitioning in the pressure vessel or for removal by the steam separators.
4.5 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 3.3, of the activity released from the reactor coolant within the.pressure vessel, 100% of the noble gases, 10% of the iodine, and 1% of the remaining radionuclides are assumed to reach the turbine and condensers, which is incorporated in the design input 5.3.1.8.4.6 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 3.4, of the activity that reaches the turbine and condenser, 100%of the noble gases, 10% of the iodine, and 1% of the particulate radionuclides are available for release to the environment, which is incorporated in design input 5.3.1.9. The turbine and condenser leak to the atmosphere as a ground-level release at a rate of 1% per day for a period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, at which time the leakage is assumed to terminate (see design inputs 5.3.2.1 through 5.3.2.3).
No credit is taken for dilution or holdup within the turbine building, which is incorporated in the design input 5.3.2.6.Radioactive decay during holdup in the turbine and condenser is assumed.4.7 Per Reference 9.1, Appendix C, Section 3.6, the iodine species released from the reactor coolant within the pressure vessel is assumed tobe 95% CsI as an aerosol, 4.85% elemental, and 0.15% organic, which is incorporated in the design input 5.3.2.4. The release from the turbine and condenser is assumed to be 97% elemental and 3% organic, which is incorporated in the design input 5.3.2.5.Nuclear Common Revision 12 CALCULATION CONTINUATION SHEET SHEET 9 of 24 CALC.

5.0 DESIGN
INPUTS: 5.1 General Considerations
5.1.1 Applicability
of Prior Licensing Basis The implementation of an AST is a significant change to the design basis of the facility and assumptions and design inputs used in the analyses.
The characteristics of the ASTs and the revised TEDE dose calculation methodology may be incompatible with many of the analysis assumptions and methods currently used in the facility's design basis analyses.
The HCGS plant specific design inputs and assumptions used in the current TID-14844 analyses were assessed for their validity to represent the as-built condition of the plant and evaluated for their compatibility to meet the AST and TEDE methodology.
The analysis in this calculation ensures that analysis assumptions, design inputs, and methods are compatible with the ASTs and the TEDE criteria.5.1.2 Credit for Engineered Safety Features Credit is taken only for accident mitigation features that are classified as safety-related, are required to be operable by technical specifications, are powered by emergency power sources, and are either automatically actuated or, in limited cases, have actuation requirements explicitly addressed in emergency operating procedures.
The safety-related CR emergency filtration system is not credited for dose mitigation.
5.1.3 Assignment
of Numeric Input Values The numeric values that are chosen as inputs to the analyses required by 10 CFR 50.67 (Ref. 9.4) are compatible to AST and TEDE dose criteria and selected with the objective of producing conservative radiological consequences.
As a conservative alternative, the limiting value applicable to each portion of the analysis is used in the evaluation of that portion.5.1.5 Meteorology Considerations The control room atmospheric dispersion factors (X/Qs) for the turbine building louver release point are developed (Ref. 9.5) using the NRC sponsored computer code ARCON96.

= 2% (Ref. 9.22)Extended Uprated Power Level = 3,293 MWt x 1.20 x 1.02 s 4,031 MWt 6.2 Composite Percentage Release Fractions This calculation uses the gap activity inventory fractions in Table 3 of RG 1.183 and assumes the release of 50% of the iodine and 100% of the noble gases for fuel reaching melted conditions (per RG 1.183, Appendix C, Section 1). Since the fuel gap can also contain the alkali metals (per RG 1.183 Table 1), this calculation applies a gap activity inventory fraction of 12% consistent with RG 1.183 Table 3. Since Appendix C of RG 1.183 does not address the melt release fraction for alkali metals for a CRDA, this calculation will assume 25% of the alkali, metals are released from the melted fuel consistent with RG 1.183 Table 1. Although RG 1.183 Table 1 reports, that a small fraction of other nuclide groups are also released from the melted fuel, these source terms are neglected in this calculation due to 1) a very small fraction of fuel exposed to melt condition
(<1%), 2) the small in-vessel release fractions for these nuclide groups, and 3) the low volatility of these aerosols from both reactor coolant and condenser.

8.0 CONCLUSION
S:
The analysis results presented in Section 7.1 indicate that the EAB, LPZ, and CR doses due to a control rod drop accident are within their allowable TEDE limits. The results indicate that CREF system initiation is not required during a CRDA.The comparisons in Section 7.2 document a decrease in the proposed EAB dose; the EAB dose decrease is due to the lower proposed iodine activity release. The comparisons in Section 7.2 confirm that the proposed increase in the CR dose is less than the minimal dose increase regulatory limit, and that the total calculated EAB and CR doses are less than the allowable regulatory guide limits. Therefore, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59 guidance as defined in References 9.23 and 9.24, the proposed increase in the core thermal power level and resulting post-CRDA doses can be adopted as current design andlicensing bases for the HCGS.
