Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 DOMINION ENERGY NUCLEAR CONNECTICUT, INC. MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 Dominion :;iiiii" Energy Serial No NRA/SS Docket No. License No.19-243 RO 50-336 DPR-65 PROPOSED LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST TO REVISE TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION LIMITS FOR PRIMARY AND SECONDARY COOLANT ACTIVITY In accordance with the provisions of 1 O CFR 50.90, Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DENC) is submitting a request for an amendment to th.e Technical Specifications (TS) for Millstone Power Station Unit 2 (MPS.2). DENG proposes to reduce the TS Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and secondary side specific activity by 50%. This change impacts the primary and secondary liquid source terms. The proposed TS 3.4.8 limits for RCS concentration are 0.5 µCi/gm Dose Equivalent (DE) 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133, and the maximum iodine concentration allowed by the TS as the result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. Secondary side radionuclide concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 lirnitof0.05

µCi/gm DE 1-131. These TS changes are based on evaluations that were conducted to assess the radiological consequences following postulated design basis Main Stearn Line Break and Stearn Generator Tube Rupture accidents to address analysis deficiencies documented in the corrective action program. A reduction in the TS RCS and secondary side specific activity is required to meet the control room dose regulatory limits. Additionally, the proposed reduction in TS RCS and secondary side specific activity will provide inherent source term margin. The analysis results from the reanalyzed events meet the acceptance criteria as specified in 10 CFR 50.67, 10 CFR 50 *Appendix A Generic Design Criterion 19, Standard Review Plan (SRP) 15.0.1, and Regulatory Guide 1.183. Attachment 1 provides the description and assessment of the proposed changes. Attachment 3 provides marked-up MPS2 TS pages showing the proposed change. Attachment 4 provides marked-up MPS2 TS Bases pages showing the proposed change. The TS Bases mark-ups are provided for information only. The changes to the affected TS Bases pages will be incorporated in accordance with the TS Bases Control Program after this LAR is approved.

Serial No: 19-243 Docket Nos. 50-336 Page 2 of 3 The proposed amendment does not involve a Significant Hazards Consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92. The basis for this determination is included in Attachment

2. DENC has determined that operation with the proposed change will not result in any significant increase in the amount of effluents that may be release.d offsite or any significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

Therefore, the proposed amendment is eligible for categorical exclusion from an environmental assessment as set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9).

Pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment is needed in connection with the approval of the proposed change. The Facility Safety Review Committee has reviewed and concurred with the determinations herein. DENC requests approval of this license amendment request by July 31, 2020, with implementation within 60 days of issuance.

In accordance with 10 CFR 50.91 (b), a copy of this license amendment request is being provided to the State of Connecticut.

39 1.0 Introduction and Background 1.1 Introduction Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 3 of 45 This report describes the evaluations conducted to assess the radiological consequences at Millstone Unit 2 following postulated design basis Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) and Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accidents per Regulatory Guide (RG) 1-.183 [Reference 1] that were required to address analysis deficiencies documented in the corrective action program. This application reduces the Technical Specification (TS) Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and secondary side specific activity by 50%. This change impacts the primary and secondary liquid source terms. The proposed TS 3.4.8 limits for RCS concentration are 0.5 µCi/gm Dose Equivalent (DE) 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133, and. the maximum iodine concentration allowed by the TS as the result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. Secondary side concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 limit of 0.05 µCi/gm DE 1-131. The accident source term discussed in Reference 1 is herein referred to as the Alternative Source Term (AST). The evaluations have employed the detailed methodology contained in RG 1.183 for use in design basis accident analyses for the AST. The results have been , compared with the acceptance criteria contained in 10 CFR 50.67 [Reference 2], 10 CFR 50 Appendix A General Design Criterion 19 [Reference 14], Standard Review Plan SRP-15.0.1

[Reference 15], and the supplemental guidance in RG *1.183. The proposed radiological dose analyses were performed with a controlled version of the computer code RADTRAD-NAI

[Reference 3]. The RADTRAD-NAI computer code calculates the control room and offsite doses resulting from releases of radioactive isotopes based on user supplied atmospheric dispersion factors, breathing rates, occupancy factors, and dose conversion factor~. Control room and offsite Atmospheric Dispersion Factors (X/Qs) were approved in the Safety Evaluation Report (SER) for the Millstone Unit 2 AST license amendment

[Reference 1 O]. Innovative Technology Solutions (ITS) of Albuquerque, New Mexico developed the RADTRAD code for the NRC. The original version of the NRC RADTRAD code was documented in NUREG/CR-6604

[Reference 4]. The Numerical Applications, Inc. (NAI) version of RADTRAD was originally derived from NRC/ITS RADTRAD, Version 3.01. Subsequently, RADTRAD-NAI was changed to conform to NRC/ITS RADTRAD, Version 3.02 with additional modifications to improve usability.

Numerical Applications is currently a division of Zachry Nuclear Engineering, Inc. The RADTRAD-NAI code is maintained under Zachry Nuclear Engineering, lnc.'s Quality Assurance (QA) program, which conforms to the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.

1.2 Current Licensing Basis Summary Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 4 of 45 The current design basis radiological analyses that appear in the Millstone Unit 2 Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) consist of assessments of the following events: 1) Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) 2) Control Rod Ejection Accident (CREA) 3) Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) 4) Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA) 5) Fuel Handling Accident (FHA) 6) Spent Fuel Cask Drop Accident 1 7) Waste Gas System Failure (WGSF) The MSLB, CREA, SGTR, LOCA, FHA and Cask Drop/Tip Accident were reanalyzed and the WGSF was relocated to FSAR Chapter 11 as a part of the AST implementation approved in Reference

10. 1.3 Selection of Events Requiring Reanalysis The proposed licensing and plant operational changes are discussed in Section 2.0. These changes require corresponding changes to the Millstone Unit 2 Operating License and Technical Specifications, which are also described in Section 2.0 of this report. A non-conservatism was identified for the Millstone Unit 2 FSAR Section 14.6.3 SGTR radiological consequence analysis.

It was identified that the RADTRAD-NAI code inputs for the ruptured steam generator (SG) iodine spike cases incorrectly used a partitioning coefficient 2 of 250 (0.4% release) instead of 100 (1 % release) for the primary to secondary leak that does not flash to steam. The text of the SGTR analysis of record and the AST license amendment request [Reference 9] indicate a PC of 100. The modeling of the iodine released from the ruptured SG that flashes to steam was modeled correctly with a PC of 1. The implication of this latent error is that iodine releases from the primary to secondary leak that spills into the ruptured SG would be modeled as 2.5 times larger for the portion of the SGTR iodine spike case releases that used the incorrect PC. Correcting the PC produces dose consequence results that were within the regulatory limits; however, the increase in dose consequence was more than a minimal increase when compared to the current SGTR analysis of record approved in Reference

9. An administrative limit of 85% for TS RCS specific activity 1 The Unit 2 Spent Fuel Cask Drop or Cask Tip Accident is analyzed as a subset of a FHA It is an event in the spent fuel pool where a shielded cask tips over and damages all fuel within the potential impact area. 2 Partitioning coefficient (PC) per Reference 1 is defined as: PC (mass of h per unit mass of liquid)/ (mass of Ii per unit mass of gas). The FSAR uses the term partition factor which would be 0.01 (or 1 %) for a partitioning coefficient of 100.

Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 5 of 45 DE 1-131 was applied to maintain the control room dose consequences less than the analysis of record. The MSLB and SGTR dose calculations previously utilized a value of 0.4% for SG moisture carryover (MCO), which was two times the maximum full-power MCO value of 0.2% specified by the SG manufacturer.

The results of a recent MCO test conducted at Millstone Unit 2 concluded that the average measured MCO value at hot full-power conditions is greater than the 0.4% value used in the MSLB and SGTR dose calculations.

The MCO at full-power does not represent the MCO expected following a reactor trip where doses are accumulated following a MSLB or SGTR accident.

As such, the full power measured MCO value is not an input to the dose calculations.

Following the reactor trip, steam flows via the atmospheric dump valves (ADVs) or main steam safety valves (MSSVs) are much less than those generated at full power. This would result in a lower MCO value post trip than the full power value; therefore, the basis for the MCO value used in the MSLB and SGTR dose calculations was revisited.

Assuming the SGs are flooded to the secondary separator deck, a post trip MCO value is calculated three feet above the pool surface using the correlation for the momentum controlled region in the low gas flux regime contained in NUREG/CR-3304 "Mechanistic Modeling and Correlations for Pool Entrainment Phenomenon" [Reference 13]. Using this correlation, the 0.4% value used in the previous dose calculations was justified as conservative.

The MCO was increased to 1 % for added analysis margin in the proposed MSLB and SGTR dose calculations supporting the license amendment request. A non-conservatism was also identified in the Millstone Unit 2 FSAR Section 14.1.5 MSLB radiological consequence analysis.

It was identified that the first 20 seconds of the MSLB event (i.e., prior to closure of the main steam isolation valves (MS!Vs)) involves intact SG steam release rates that are large enough to entrain a significant fraction of water (i.e., water

  • entrainment well beyond the range of available correlations).

During the first 20 seconds of the event prior to MSIV closure, the main steam flow from the in.tact SG to the break location via main steam header briefly approaches 300% of the full power steam flow value. The MSLB analysis of recprd models the intact SG iodine release path with a PC of 100, in accordance with RG 1.183. However, because there is no available basis for estimating water entrainment at these higher initial steam velocities (greater than velocities at 100% power), releases for this time period are conservatively modeled with a MCO of 100% and a PC of 1 (no partitioning).

Additionally, during this period of time, the X/Q value in the limiting analysis case is conservatively modeled as a break release instead of an ADV release. After the first 20 seconds, the MCO is appropriately modeled as entrainment from a pool as discussed above. Correcting for fhe PC and break release X/Q produces dose consequence results that are within the regulatory limits when the aforementioned administrative reduction in TS RCS specific activity is assumed. Conservatism inherent in the modeling of the intact SG initial Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 6 of 45 activity was credited to maintain the corrected MSLB dose consequences less than the current analysis of record. The SGTR and MSLB analyses deficiencies are documented in the corrective action program. As the changes to the MSLB and SGTR analyses result in more than a minimal increase in dose consequences, a license amendment request is required.

A reduction in the TS RCS and secondary side specific activity is required to meet the control room dose analysis of record. In order to provide inherent source term margin, it is proposed that TS RCS and secondary side specific activity be reduced to 50% of the Current Licensing Basis (CLB). The unfiltered inleakage to the Millstone Unit 2 control room was increased to allow for additional operational flexibility.

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 provide the detailed description of the re-analyses for these events.

1.4 Analysis Assumptions and Key Parameter Values Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1 , Page 7 of 45 This section describes the general analysis approach and presents analysis assumptions and key parameter values that are common to the accident analyses performed.

Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of this Attachment provide specific assumptions that were employed for the MSLB and SGTR, respectively.

The dose analyses documented in this application employ the Total Effective Dose Equivalent (TEDE) calculation method as specified in RG 1.183 for AST applications.

TEDE is determined at the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB) for the worst 2-hour interval.

TEDE for individuals at the Low Population Zone (LPZ) and for the Millstone Unit 2 control room personnel are calculated for the assumed duration of the event. The TEDE concept is defined to be the Deep Dose Equivalent, DOE (from external exposure) plus the Committed Effective Dose Equivalent, CEDE (from internal exposure).

In this manner, TEDE assesses the impact of a!! relevant nuclides upon al! body organs. The ODE is nominally equivalent to the Effective Dose Equivalent (EDE) from external exposure if the whole body is irradiated uniformly.

Since this is a reasonable assumption for submergence exposure situations, EDE is used in lieu of DOE in determining the contribution of external dose to the TEDE. EDE dose conversion factors .were taken from Table 111.1 of Federal Guidance Report (FGR) 12 [Reference 6] per Section 4.1.4 of Reference

1. CEDE dose conversion factors were taken from Table 2.1 of FGR 11 [Reference 5] per Section 4.1.2 of Reference
1. There are a number of common analysis assumptions and plant features that are used in the analysis of all of the events. These items are unchanged from the AST license amendment request submittal

[Reference 9] and are presented in Table 1.4-1.

This change impacts the primary and secondary liquid source terms. Table 2.2-1 provides the CLB values and the proposed values for TS specific activity.

RCS radionuclide concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.4.8 limits of 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133. The maximum iodine concentration allowed by the proposed Technical Specification as the result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. This value is treated as the pre-accident iodine spike. The concurrent iodine spike appearance rates are based on either 500 times (MSLB) or 335 times (SGTR) the appearance rates required to maintain the coolant activity at the proposed 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131 concentration.

Secondary side concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 limit of 0.05 µCi/gm DE 1-131. The proposed limits are reflected throughout the Limiting Condition for Operation and Actions for TS 3.4.8 and TS 3.7.1.4, as well as the Surveillance Requirements for TS 3.4.8. Marked up pages for the proposed TS changes are provided in Attachment

3. Marked up TS Basis pages are provided in Attachment 4 for information.

2.2 Summary of Design and Licensing Basis Changes This section provides a summary of the proposed changes to the CLB values for the MSLB and SGTR analyses.

A summary is provided in Table 2.2-1 and is broken into segments detailed in Section 3.0. The existing analyses for these radiological events were performed as part of the Millstone Unit 2 AST license amendment request [Reference 9] and approved in Reference

10. The proposed amendment reduces the TS specific activity to provide margin. In addition, some margin was added to accommodate thermal-hydraulic changes. This accounts for differences in some of the parameters list_ed in Table 2.2-1.

  • Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) Accident These analyses utilize the AST guidance documented in RG 1.183 [Reference 1] including modeling the released activities at the maximum allowed by the Technical Specifications.

The Technical Specifications for primary coolant specific activity and secondary activity are reduced by half in this analysis.

The source term is updated to reflect this change. The proposed radiological consequences are compared with the limits provided in 10 CFR 50.67(b)(2), and as clarified per the additional guidance in RG 1.183 for events with a higher probability of occurrence.

Dose calculations are performed at the EAB for the worst 2-hour period, and for the LPZ and Millstone Unit 2 control room for the duration of the accident.

The radiological consequence calculations were performed using the RADTRAD-NAI computer code [Reference 3] as discussed above. The applicable dose acceptance criteria are provided in Table 3.0-1.

  • 3.1 Main Steam Line Break Accident Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 18 of 45 This section describes the methods employed and results of the MSLB design basis radiological analysis.

No fuel failure is expected for the MSLB outside containment case. This analysis includes doses associated with the releases of radioactive material initially present in primary and secondary liquids at maximum aflowable Technical Specification concentrations plus iodine spiking scenarios.

Fuel failure is assumed to be 3.7% for the MSLB inside containment case. Doses were calculated at the EAB for the worst-case two-hour period, LPZ boundary, and Millstone Unit 2 control room. The methodology used to evaluate the control room and offsite doses resulting from the MSLB accident is consistent with RG 1.183 [Reference 1]. 3.1.1 MSLB Scenario Description The MSLB accident begins with a break in one of the main steam lines leading from a SG (denoted as the affected or faulted generator) to the turbine coincident with a loss of offsite power. As a result, the condenser is unavailable and cool down of the primary system is through the release of steam to the environment from the intact SG. In order to maximize doses, break scenarios are assessed in the following structures:

1) Turbine Building (outside containment 6), and 2) Containment.
  • For the MSLB outside containment, the break occurs downstream of the MSIV and the release continues from the faulted SG for 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> until the RCS temperature reaches 212 °F, after which the release stops. The intact SG is used for cooldown via ADVs. The single active failure in this scenario is loss of the MSIV on the faulted SG. The release from the faulted SG is assumed to go directly to the environment because the turbine building blowout panels will have lifted. The primary to secondary leakage of 150 GPO (per TS 3/4.4.5 Bases and TS 6.26), equivalent to 0.87 lbm/min 7 , is assumed to continue from the intact SG for approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> after which decay heat is removed by the shutdown cooling system. Noble gases and iodine progeny are released without holdup in the SGs. No fuel damage is postulated for this scenario.

For the MSLB in containment, the intact SG is used for cooldown via ADVs. The faulted SG releases activity directly to containment for 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> until the RCS has reached a temperature of 212 °F. Core damage occurs and the radioactivity released in containment leaks to the environment.

The single active failure credited in this scenario is loss of an emergency diesel 6 Based on turbine building and enclosure building X/Qs (submitted in Reference 9), the turbine building X/Qs are at least four times that of the enclosure building (4.1 times for 0-2 hours). As the steam releases for each scenario will be the same, it is reasonable to model only the turbine building break scenario because the X/Qs are greater and therefore the dose consequences of the turbine building will be greater than the enclosure building.

This scenario assumes 3.7% fuel failure due to departure from nucleate boiling (DNB). The RADTRAD-NAI code [Reference 3] is used to calculate the radiological dose consequences from a MSLB at MP2 to the EAB, LPZ, and control room. 3.1.2 MSLB Source Term Definition MSLB Outside Containment The analysis of the MSLB outside containment accident indicates that no fuel failures occur as a result of the transient.

Thus, radioactive material releases during the event are determined by assuming the radionuclide concentrations initially present in primary and secondary liquid are at maximum TS limits plus iodine spiking. In accordance with RG 1.183, Appendix E, two .independent cases are evaluated.

The first case assumes a pre-accident iodine spike, while the second case assumes a concurrent iodine spike. The MSLB outside containment analysis uses the primary and secondary liquid source term provided in Table 3.1-1. RCS concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.4.8 limits of 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133. Secondary side concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 limit of 0.05 µCi/gm DE 1-131. For Millstone Unit 2, the maximum iodine concentration allowed by the proposed TS as the . result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. This value is treated as the pre-accident iodine spike and is listed in Table 3.1-2. RG 1.183 defines a concurrent iodine spike as an accident initiated value 500 times the appearance rate corresponding to the TS limit for normal operation (proposed TS limit: 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131) for a period of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The MSLB concurrent iodine spike appearance rates and inventory are listed in Table 3.1-3. The appearance rates developed address the issues raised by NSAL-00-004

In both cases, the release of secondary side liquid (SSL) is based on maximum SG volume to maximize isotopic inventory.

The faulted SG models are: 1) Primary to secondary leakage to environment

a. Particulates

& Noble gases + progeny 1 b. Iodine spike activity 9 + progeny 2) Secondary side liquid steaming to environment For the MSLB outside containment, releases are assumed to pass directly from the building to the environment with no credit taken for holdup, partitioning, or scrubbing by the SG liquid. The faulted SG is assumed to steam dry as a result of the MSLB, releasing all of the nuclides in the secondary coolant that were initially contained in the SG. Coincident with the release of SSL, a 150 GPO primary to secondary leakage occurs with the assumption that 100% of the flow flashes and is released to the environment without mitigation.

Containment

  • l.';899H6 ti. Intact Steam Generator Two scenarios are considered for break release pathways (Turbine Building and Containment) as discussed in Section 3.1.1. The intact SG models are: 1) Primary to secondary leakage to environment
a. Particulates

& Noble gases + progeny b. Iodine spike activity 10 + progeny 2) Secondary side liquid steaming to environment For the MSLB outside containment, primary to secondary leakage enters the intact SG at the rate of 150 GPO. The activity for the first 20 seconds is released to the environment via the Turbine Building Blowout Panels, resulting in a bounding pathway when the MSIV is open. The activity after 20 seconds is released to the environment via the ADVs, as the X/Qs for ADVs are greater than the MSSVs, resulting in a bounding pathway when the MSIV is closed. There are several nuclide transport models associated with the intact SGs to ensure proper accounting of particulate, iodine and noble gas releases.

Releases of radionuclides initially in the SG liquid and those entering the SG from the primary to secondary leakage flow are 10 Iodine spike activity refers to two cases: 1) pre-accident iodine spike at TS limits and 2) concurrent iodine spike at TS limits. These two cases are modeled separately for the outside containment case.

Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 26 of 45 released as a result of SSL boiling. The minimum SG mass is used to minimize holdup and retention of activity.

Radionuclides initially in the steam space do not provide any significant dose contribution and are not considered.

Noble gases that are released from the primary system to the intact SG are released to the environment without reduction or mitigation.

The noble gas release pathway after 20 seconds includes a filter for particulates, elemental iodine, and organic iodine, which only allows noble gas isotopes to pass through the environment.

Before 20 seconds, no filter is applied in order for particulates, iodine, and noble gases to be released without any mitigation.

Iodine and particulates after 20 seconds are released via steam flow rates divided by 100 (Table 3.1-7). The PC and MCO are relevant to the dose assessment of the MSLB event in that it indicates how much radioactive inventory is exiting the intact SG. The PC is modeled according to the guidance of RG 1.183 [Reference 1, Section 5.5] in that the iodine PC is 100 (1/100 = 0.01 for entrainment or 1 %). The retention of particulate radionuclides in the intact SG is limited by the MCO from the SGs at 1 %. For the first 20 seconds of a MSLB (prior to the closure of the MSIVs), the intact SG steam release rates are large enough to entrain a significant fraction of water (i.e., steam velocities greater than the 100% power value and beyond the range of available correlations).

Because there is no available basis for estimating water entrainment at these higher initial steam velocities, releases for this time period are conservatively modeled with a MCO of 100% and a PC of 1.0 (no partitioning).

The liquid RCS break flow through the intact SG assumes a reduction factor of 100 for iodine and non-iodine particulate releases due to PC and MCO after 20 seconds. For the MSLB inside containment, the release pathway from the intact SG is identical to that of the MSLB outside containment; however, the source term is different (dependent on 3.7% fuel damage). Figures 3.1-5 through 3.1-6 illustrate the release pathways for the intact SG outside and inside containment cases.

10. Offsite X/Qs for ground level releases from the enclosure building are listed in Table 1.4-1. The enclosure building offsite X/Q values are applied to all MSLB offsite releases due to near proximity of release locations.

Faulted SG releases for the MSLB outside containment could involve a break location in either the turbine building or enclosure building.

The turbine building X/Qs for the control room were used to model releases from the faulted SG and the first 20 seconds of releases from the intact SG as the turbine building X/Qs are larger than corresponding enclosure building X/Qs and are therefore, conservative.

Table 3.1-8 provides the turbine building blowout panels X/Q values. Faulted SG releases for the MSLB inside containment involves a break in containment.

Enclosure building X/Qs for the control room were used to model releases from the faulted SG and the first seconds of releases from the intact SG as the release occurs from the enclosure building and the EBFS is not credited.

The enclosure building X/Q values are listed in Table 3.1-8. Intact SG releases after 20 seconds could occur from either the ADVs or MSSVs. The ADV X/Qs for the control room were used to model releases as the ADV X/Qs are larger than the corresponding MSSV X/Qs and are therefore, conservative.

This analysis includes dose consequences with the releases of the radioactive material initially present in primary liquid and secondary liquid at the proposed maximum allowable TS concentrations plus iodine spiking (Table 2.2-1). Doses are calculated at the EAB for the worst-case two-hour period, LPZ boundary, and Millstone Unit 2 control room. The methodology used to evaluate the doses resulting from a SGTR is consistent with RG 1.183 [Reference 1 ]. 3.2.1 SGTR Scenario Description A SGTR is a break in a tube carrying primary coolant through the SG. This postulated break allows primary liquid to leak to the secondary side of one of the SGs (denoted as the affected or ruptured SG) with an assumed release to the environment through the ADVs or the MSSVs. The mechanics of the SGTR radiological release consist of releases from the ruptured SG and from*the intact SG. The release from the RCS to the ruptured SG is based on flashed (steam) and unflashed (liquid) RCS break flow. The ADVs/MSSVs on the ruptured SG are assumed to open to control SG pressure at the beginning of the transient.

No credit is taken for release through the condenser due to loss of offsite power. The ruptured SG discharges steam to the environment for 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> until the generator is isolated.

Break flow into the ruptured SG continues until the RCS is at a lower pressure.

The MP2 emergency operating procedures recognize that the ruptured SG may need to be steamed following isolation to achieve shutdown cooling conditions.

Depressurization of the SG may be necessary to initiate shutdown cooling. This additional release from the ruptured SG following isolation is modeled early in the event in order to maximize dose consequences.

The intact SG discharges steam for a period of approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br />, until the primary system has cooled sufficiently to allow a switchover to the shutdown cooling system. The release from the RCS to the intact SG consists of an assumed primary to secondary leak rate (150 GPO) and is assumed to continue from the intact SG via MSSVs or ADVs until shutdown cooling is initiated.

Consistent with the CLB, no fuel damage is predicted.

Therefore, the SGTR analysis was performed assuming both a pre-accident iodine spike and a concurrent iodine spike. In accordance with RG 1.183, the release of noble gases has been analyzed without reduction or mitigation.

The RADTRAD-NAI code [Reference 3] is used to calculate the radiological dose consequences from airborne release resulting from a SGTR at MP2 to the EAB, LPZ, and control room.

3.2.2 SGTR Source Term Definition Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 35 of 45 Initial radionuclide concentrations in the primary and secondary systems for the SGTR accident are determined based on the proposed maximum TS levels of activity.

The SGTR thermal-hydraulic accident analysis indicates that no fuel rod failures occur as a result of this transient.

Thus, radioactive material releases were determined using the radionuclide concentrations initially present in primary liquid, secondary liquid, and iodine spiking .. These values are the starting point for determining the radionuclide inventory input for the NAI code runs. RG 1.183 specifies that the released activities should be modeled as the maximum allowed by the Technical Specification.

Table 3.1-1 lists the primary and secondary coolant radionuclide concentrations that are used in the analysis.

The CLB SGTR source term has been halved to reflect the proposed change to the Millstone Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

RCS concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.4.8 limits of 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133. Secondary side concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 limit of 0.05 µCi/gm DE 1-131. RG 1.183 also dictates that SGTR accidents consider iodine spiking above the value allowed for normal operations based both on a pre-accident iodine spike and a concurrent iodine spike. For Millstone Unit 2, the maximum iodine concentration allowed by the proposed TS as the result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. This value is treated as the pre-accident iodine spike and is listed in Table 3.1-2. RG 1.183 defines a concurrent iodine spike as an accident initiated value 335 times the appearance rnte corresponding to the TS limit for normal operation (proposed TS limit: 0.5 µCi/gm DE 1-131) for a period of 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />. The SGTR concurrent iodine spike appearance rates and inventory are listed in Table 3.2-1. Appearance rates developed address the issues raised by NSAL-00-004

[Reference 8].

This is due primarily to treatment of the source terms as noble gases which are released without mitigation or reduction, and iodines and particulates that are released crediting PC and MCO. The different models account for the following scenarios:

1) Break flow and primary to secondary leakage to environment

Releases from the ruptured SG are terminated when the ruptured SG is isolated and depressurized.

A fraction of the break flow is assumed to flash ,to steam in the ruptured SG and to pass directly into to the environment via the ADVs with no credit taken for scrubbing by the SG liquid. The remainder of the break flow (liquid form) enters the SG liquid. Releases of radionuclides in the SG liquid and those entering the SG from the liquid RCS break flow are released as a result of SSL boiling. 11 No correction made for decay of iodine isotopes.

  • Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 1, Page 37 of 45 A PC of 100 for iodine isotopes is assumed during boiling and also applied to particulate isotopes.

Thus, 1 % of the elemental iodine, organic iodine, and particulates are released from the SG liquid to the environment along with the steam flow. MCO is not specifically modeled but is bounded by application of the partitioning factor for the duration of the release. Noble gases are released from the primary system to the environment without reduction or mitigation.

The noble gas release pathway for the liquid RCS break flow is modeled with a filter, which only allows noble gas isotopes to pass through to the environment.

The transport model utilized for iodine and particulates is consistent with Appendix E of RG 1.183. The flowcharts in Figures 3.2-1 and 3.2-2 illustrate the release transport of radionuclides from the ruptured SG during a SGTR transient as modeled in RADTRAD-NAI.

Radionuclides in the primary coolant leaking into the intact SG are assumed to enter the SG liquid. Releases of radionuclides initially in the SG liquid and those entering the SG from the leakage flow are released as a result of SSL boiling, including an allowance for a PC of 100 for iodine isotopes.

Partitioning is modeled by assuming 1 % of the iodines and particulates pass into the steam space and then directly to the environment.

MCO is not modeled but is bounded by application of the partitioning factor for the duration of the release. Noble gases that are released from the primary system to the intact SG are released to the environment without reduction or mitigation.

The noble gas release pathway includes a filter, which only allows noble gas isotopes to pass through the environment.

MILLSTONE POWER STATION UNIT 2 Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 2, Page 1 of 3 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION DETERMINATION AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATION

1. No Significant Hazards Consideration Determination Dominion Energy Nuclear Connecticut, Inc. (DENG) is submitting a request for an amendment to the Technical Specification (TS) for Millstone Power Station 2 (MPS2). DENG proposes to reduce the TS Reactor Coolant System (RCS) and secondary side specific activity by 50%. This change impacts the primary and secondary liquid source terms. The proposed TS 3.4.8 limits for RCS concentration are 0.5 µCi/gm Dose Equivalent (DE) 1-131 and 550 µCi/gm DE Xe-133, and the maximum iodine concentration allowed by the TS as the result of an iodine spike is 30 µCi/gm DE 1-131. Secondary side concentrations are based on the proposed TS 3.7.1.4 limit of 0.05 µCi/gm DE 1-131. These TS changes are based on evaluations that were conducted to assess the radiological consequences following postulated design basis Main Steam Line Break (MSLB) and Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR) accidents to address analysis deficiencies documented in the corrective action program. A reduction in the TS RCS and secondary side specific activity is required to meet the control room dose regulatory limits. Additionally, the proposed*

reduction in TS RCS and secondary side specific activity will provide inherent source term margin. The analysis results from the reanalyzed events meet the acceptance criteria as specified in 1 Oc.CFR 50.67, 10 CFR 50 Appendix A Generic Design Criterion 19, Standard Review Plan (SRP) 15.0.1, and Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.183. As required by 10 CFR 50.91 (a), DENG has evaluated whether or not a significant hazards corsideration is involved with the proposed amendment by focusing on the three standards set forth on 10 CFR 50.92, "Issuance of amendment," as discussed below: Criterion 1: Does the proposed amendment involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No RCS and secondary side specific activity are not initiators for any accident previously evaluated.

Reanalyzing the MSLB and SGTR events does not require changes to any plant structures, systems, or components (SSCs) and therefore does not affect accident initiators.

As a result, the proposed changes do not significantly increase the probability of an accident.

The proposed TS change will limit primary coolant activity to concentrations consistent with the accident analyses.

The proposed MSLB and SGTR design basis accident analyses demonstrate that the Exclusion Area Boundary (EAB), Low Population Zone (LPZ), and Control Room doses are within the limits of 10 CFR 50.67, SRP-15.0.1, and RG 1.183. Therefore, Page 1 of 3 Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 2, Page 2 of 3 the proposed changes do not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 2: Does the proposed amendment create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated?

Response:

No The proposed TS change in specific activity limits and the reanalyzed MSLB and SGTR events do not alter any physical part of the plant, (i.e., no new or different type of equipment will be installed), nor do they affect any plant operating parameter or create new accident precursors.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated.

Criterion 3: Does the proposed amendment involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety? Response:

No The proposed TS change in specific activity limits is consistent with the assumptions in the safety analyses and will ensure the monitored values protect the initial assumptions in the safety analyses.

The proposed changes for radiological events related to the computer code used to calculate radiological dose consequences have been analyzed and result in acceptable consequences, meeting the criteria as specified in 10 CFR 50.67, SRP-15.0.1, and RG 1.183. The proposed changes will not result in plant operation in a configuration outside the analyses or design bases and do not adversely affect systems that are required to respond for safe shutdown of the plant and to maintain the plant in a safe operating condition.

Therefore, the proposed changes do not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. Conclusion Based on the above, DENG concludes that the proposed amendment presents no significant hazards consideration under the standards set forth in 10 CFR 50.92(c), and, accordingly, a finding of "no significant hazards consideration" is justified.

Page 2 of 3

2. Environmental Consideration Serial No.19-243 Docket No. 50-336 Attachment 2, Page 3 of 3 Regarding the proposed MSLB and SGTR analyses, the proposed amendment meets the eligibility criterion for categorical exclusion set forth in 10 CFR 51.22(c)(9) as follows: (i) The proposed change involves no significant hazards consideration.

As described in Section 1 above, the proposed change involves no significant hazards consideration. (ii) There are no significant changes in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released off-site.

The proposed MSLB and SGTR design basis accident analyses demonstrate that the EAB, LPZ, and Control Room doses are within the limits of 10 CFR 50.67, SRP-15.0.1, and RG 1.183. There are no significant changes in the types or significant increase in the amounts of any effluents that may be released off-site. (iii) There is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure.

The proposed MSLB and SGTR dose consequences analyses do not implement any plant physical changes, or result in plant operation in a configuration outside the plant safety analyses or design bases. The proposed MSLB and SGTR design basis accident analyses demonstrate that the EAB, LPZ, and Control Room doses are within the limits of 10 CFR 50.67, SRP-15.0.1, and RG 1.183. Therefore, there is no significant increase in individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposure associated with the proposed change. Based on the above, DENC concludes that, pursuant to 10 CFR 51.22(b), no environmental impact statement or environmental assessment need be prepared in connection with the proposed amendment.

3. Conclusion DENC concludes, based on the considerations discussed herein, that (1) there is reasonable assurance that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation in the proposed manner, (2) such activities will be conducted in compliance with the Commission's regulations, and (3) the issuance of the amendment will not be inimical to the common defense and security or to the health and safety of the public.

18, '.'.008 LBDCR O&-MP2-013 The LCO limits on the specific activity of the reactor coolant ensure the resulting offsite and CRE doses meet the appropriate SRP acceptance criteria follo,\ing a SLB or SGTR accident.

The safety analyses (Refs. 3 and 4) assume the specific activity of the reactor coolant is at the LCO limits, and an existing reactor coolant steam generator (SG) rube leakage rate of 150 gpd e..;:ists.

The safety :ui.alyses assume the specific activity of the seconclirycoolant is at its limit ofo+ µCi/ gmDOSEEQUIVALENTI-131 from LCO 3.7.1.4, "Activity." The :ui.alyses for the SLB and SGTR accidents estab]ish the acceptance limits for RCS specific activity.

Reference to these analyses is used to assess changes to the unit that could affect RCS specific activity, as they relate to the acceptance limits. / 10.5 f-~ //" The safety analyses cons1d~wo cases of reactor coolant iodine specific activity.

One case ass11m.es specific activity at -1,-0 ~tCi/gm DOSE EQl,'IVALENT I-131 with a concurrent large iodine spike that increases the rate of release of iodine from the fuel rods containing cL1dding defects to the prim,,ry coolant immediately after a SLB (by a factor of SOO), or SGTR (by a fac1or of335), respectively.

TI1e second case assumes the initial reactor coolant iodine activity at eQ,G ~tCifgm DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 due to an iodine spike caused by a reactor or an RCS r, transient prior to the accident.

In both cases, the noble ga5 specific activity is assumed to be-H-00 ftCi/gm DOSE EQliiY:<\LEN'TXE-133.

The SGTR an.-tlysis assumes a rise in pressure in the mpmred SG causes radioactively contantinated steam to discharge to the atmosphere through the atmospheric dump vahres or the 111."lin steam safety valves. TI1e atmospheric disd1arge stops when the turbine bypass to the condenser removes the excess energy to rapidly reduce the RC.S pressure and close the valves. The unaffected SG removes core decay heat by venting steam until !he coo1dmv1l ends and the Slmtdown Cooling (SDC) system is placed u1.service.

The SLB radiological analysis assumes that omite powe.r is lost at the same time as the pipe break occurs outside containment.

The affected SG blows dmvn completely and steam is vented directly to the atmosphere.

The unaffected SG removes core decay he.at by venting steam to the atmosphere until the COO!down end, and the SDI SJ5 1 em is placed in service. _r;-30.0 0. ::, -:-ii_ 'V Operation

APPLICABLE SAFE1Y ANALYSES (CONTINUED)

Toe RCS specific activity limits are also used for establish:ilig standardization in radiation shielding and plant personnel radiation protection practices.

RCS specific activity satisfies Criterion 2 of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii).

LCO };.,-Toe iodine specific activity in the reactor coolant is limited to .hQ. i1Cilgm DOSE EQUIVALENT 1-131, and the noble gas specific activity in the reactor coolant is limited to +1-00 ,tCilgm DOSE EQUIVALENT XE-133. Toe limits on specific activity eu.s11re that ofuite ancj\CRE doses will meet the appropriate SRP acceptance criteria (Ref. 2). Toe SLB and SGTR. accident analyses (Refs. 3 and 4) show that the calculated doses are within acceptable limits. Operation with activities in excess of the LCO may result in reactor coolant radioactivity levels that could, in the event of an SLB or SGTR, lead to doses that exceed the SRP acceptance criteria (Ref. 2). APPLICAB;ILITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, operation within the LCO limits for DOSE EQlJlVALEN'T I-131 and DOSE EQUI\Z'liENT XE-133 is necessary to limit the potential consequences of a SLB or SGTR to with:i.11 the SRP acceptance criteria (Ref 2). In J\-10DES 5 and 6, the stean1 generators are not being used for decay heal removal, the RCS and steam generators are depressurized, and primary to secondary leakage is minimal. Therefore, tl1e monitoring of RCS specific activity is not required.
