b k _'. ; t' -( SUMMAL"' STATEMENT BY THE DIVISION OF REACTOR LICENSING U, S. ATOGC ENERGY CCMiISSION IN THE MA' ITER OF PACIFIC GAS AND ELECTRIC CO@ANY DIABLO CANYON NUCLEAR PIMI SAN IUIS OBISPO CCUIC'Y, CALIFORNIA DOCKET NO. 50-275-
n Pacific Gas and Electric Company applied to the Atomic Energy Comr.ission on. January 16, 1967, for a cotAruction permit for a 3250 K4t pressurized vater reactor to be located on its site adjacent to the Pacific Ocean and Diablo Canyon Creek in San Luis Obispo County, California. During the period between the January filing date and this hearing, we had a number of meetings with the applicant, and its nuclear steam supply contractor to discuss various As a result of requests for safety related aspects of the plant design. additional information, the applicant submitted nine amendments to the Preliminary Safety Analysis Report. The Reactor Projects greup of the Division of Reactor Licensing has the responsibility for the safety review, annivsis and evaluation of applications for provisional construction permits and provisional operating licenses. The Diablo Canyon application was assigned to a Branch vithin the Reactor Projects group. In addition to the technical evaluation within the Projects group, specialized aspects of the reviev vere undertaken by the following branches in the Reactor Technology Broup of DRL. The site characteristics and environmental considerations, including an evaluation of centequences of postulated accident situations, were reviewed by members of the Envirormental and Radiation Safety Technology Branch. Personnel from this branch vorked closely with our consultants in the Environmental Meteorology Branch of the Institute for Atmospheric Sciences, ESEA; the U. S. Geclogical Survey (geological and hydrological considerations); the U. S. Coast & Geodetic Survey (seismology); and the Fish and Wildlife Service.
The Containment and Component Technology Branch review cf the Diablo Canyon project included consideration of the adequacy of the containment structure, design of Class I structures and components for seismic and accident loadings, and the plant quality assurance program. Members of this branch coordinated and reviewed the work of our seismic design consultant, Nathan M. Newmark Associates. The instrumentation, control, and electrical systems of the plant were reviewed by members of the Instrumentation and Power Technology Branch. The Reactor Operations group of DRL, particularly the Operatione.1 Safety Branch, assisted in the review of proposed plant operations. Additional assistance from Division of Reactor Standards personnel in some of the above matters vas utilized. Finally, the Commission's Advisory Co=mittee on Reactor Safeguards reviewed the application. The Report of the Committee is attached as an appendix to the Staff's Safety Evaluation. Our Safety Evaluation encompassed an examination of the proposed plant layout, structural design, and plant operating characteristics with special attention to those aspects concerned with public health and safety relative to radiological effects. In this respect, we considered the nuclear, thermal-hydraulic, and mechanical design characteristics of the reactor core and found them to be appropriate under all anticipated modes of operation. We have considered the overall mechanical layout of the plant, including pro-visions for shielding and missile protection, and conclude that the appro-priate measures have been taken in these respects. We have considered the radiological effects on the environment and conclude that the off-site
s dose icvels resultin6 from normal plant operation, as well as from postulated accidents, are within established 6uidelines. In our review, desi 6n features vere frequently co= pared with similar features of other reactor facilities which have been previously reviewed and approved by the Coc=ission, includ1D6 in particular the Indian Point II Nuclear Power Plant. In many instances, in view of the similarity between this plant and those previously reviewed, a comparative evaluation was found to be sufficient. In some areas noted below, our evaluation was more comprehensive. As a consequence of our review, certain design changes were made in the Diablo Canyon Facility which have safety implications. Some of these include:
- 1. Tsunami protection - Our position with regard to potential tsime3 s at this site was based on advice from the U. S. Coast & Geodetic Survey which recommended protection from a water run-up of 30 feet above mean lov lov vater (MLLW). All Class I structures of the Diablo Canyon Facility vere located at 80 or more feet of elevation except for the cooling vater intake structure. The applicant in Amendment No. 8 a6 reed to protect all Class I equipment at the intake 6tructure for a wave runup of 30 feet above MLLW.
- 2. Environmental monitoring - We and our consultants believed that the initial environmental monitorin6 program as proposed needed to include additional provisions. Tne applicant has agreed to expand the scope of the i
program to include our suggestions. 3 Emergency Core Coo. ling System - The purpose of the emergency core cooling system is to adequately cool the core in the event of a failure of l l l l
,9 ,
4-the primary cooling system. Our position is that redundant systers should be provided to the extent that an active conponent failure during both the injection end recirculation cooling phases, or a passive failure during recir-culation cooling phase can be tolerated without jeopardizing the ability to cool the core. In this respect our position was that sharing of headers was not sufficiently conservative for this reactor. The applicant, in response to our position, modified the design of the salt vater system, auxiliary coolant water system, and the safety injection system to meet redundancy requirements.
- 4. Dasign stress levels for Class I structures - The design strecs-strain levels as originally proposed in WCAP-5890-Revision I for the loss of function design criteria vere, in our opinion, not sufficiently conserv-stive. Based upon our evaluation more conservative limits vere proposed
' and are documented in Amendment No. 9 5 Nuclear instrumentation - As originally proposed the nuclear instrumentation was comparable to previous preosurized water reactor designs We exopet that no period or startup rate instrumentation was provided. believe that startup rate indication over the range from below criticality to plant heatup should be provided. As a result of our position, the applicant has a6 reed to provide period instrumentation.
- 6. Control room shielding - As originally proposed, the shieldin6 and ventilation system for control room personnel was durigned to limit potential exposures in the event of the m*Wtm credible accident to 300 rem thyroid. We believe that doses should be held more in line with In this regard, the applicant has a6 reed to design 10 CIIR Part 20 limits.
5 the control room such that potential doses in the control roo= vould be 2 5 rem vhole body and 30 rem to the thyroid. These itens are discussed in detail in the regulatory staff's Safety Evaluation. Any proble=s which these features may have presented have nov been resolved to the satisfaction of the staff for this construction permit review. In addition, in our review ve examined certain safety matters comon to pressurized water reactors in general which we felt warranted further evaluation. In this category are:
- 1. . The effect of loss-of-coolant blovdown forces on the core and other primary system components.
- 2. Further evidence of the behavior of fuel rods during the postulated loss-of-coolant accidents.
3 Analysis of the thermal shock effects resulting from the injection of emergency core cooling water into the reactor. We believe that each of these issues vill be resolved prior to the operating license stage review. The Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility is being designed and vill be constructed to be safe under all conditions includir.g startup, power operation, power load changes, shutdown, and refueling. In the unlikely event of various postulated accidents, including loss of normal reactor coolant, engineered safety features vill provide core protection, and confine radio-activity released from damaged fuel elements to the containment building. We have reviewed the characteristics of the site relative to population density, meteorology, geology, hydrology, seismicity, and potential radio-active releases to the environs, and have concluded that the plant design
6-and analyses are adequate in these respects. The advice of expert consultants in these fields was also obtained. Their reports are included as appendices to our Safety Evaluation. The design of the major systems and components of the proposed plant, including the emergency cooling systems and containment structure, which bear significantly on the acceptability of the plant under the site criteria guidelines identified in 10 CFR Part 100, has been analyzed and evaluated by the applicant and the staff at a power level of 3391 MWt. The applicant states that this power level is the expected maximum capability of the plant with the turbine admission valves in the full-open position. The thermal and hydraulic characteristics of the reactor core vere eslyzed and evaluated at 3250 MWt. Before operation at any power level above 3250 MWt vill be authorized, the Commission vill evaluate the proposed operation to assure that the core can be operated safely at the higher power level. All applications for authority to construct nuclear power plants, including the proposed Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility, are also reviewed by the Co= mission's Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards (ACF.S). The ACRS conducts an independent review of the safety of the proposed facility and The advises the Atomic Energy Co= mission on the results of its review. ACRS, in its letter of December 20, 1967, to the Chairman regarding the Diablo Canyon application, made several comments and recommendations with
7 k'e have considered re spect to various techrdcal features of the proposed reactor. each of these and vill be guided by all of them in our cont. 2ing review of
"...vith the Diablo Canyon Huclear Facility. The ACRS letter concludes:
due consideration to the foregoing items, and in view of the isolated site, the nuclear plant proposed for the Diablo Canyon site can be cor.stnieted with reasonable assurance that it can be operated without undue risk to the health and safety of the public." This su:::::.ary of the scope of the Comission's safety review of this project indicates the consideration which has been given by the regulatory staff and the Advisory Co:::mittee on Rec.ctor Safeguards to those design features of the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility which are inportant to safety. As discussed in our Safety Evaluation, we have concluded that there is reasonable assurance that the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Facility can be built and operated as proposed without undue risk to the health and safety of the public. The construction pernit sou6ht for this facility would be the first h step in the Co:: mission's regulatory process which would continue thrcu6 out the lifetime of the station. In order to determine that all of the Comission's safety requirenents have been satisfied, and prior to issuing an operating license for this unit, the final design and safety analysis vould be thoroughly evaluated by the regulatory staff of the Division of Reactor Licensing and the Advisory Comittee on Reactor Safeguards in a manner similar to the review process at this, the construction permit stage. The plant would then be operated only in accordance with a definitive set of Technical
Specifications and the Co:nmission's regulations under the continued scrutiny of the Commission's regulatory staff throughout the plant lifetime.

p. o-September 1,1971 SCOPE OF APPLICANTS' ENVikON"ENTA; REPORTS WITH RESPECT T0 TRkiSPORTATION, TRANSMISSION LINES, AND ACCIDENTS In addition to information called for in the Draf t AEC Guide to the P.eparation of Environrental Reports for Nuclear Power Plants, the Applicant's Environmental Report should deal with the following ma tte rs :
- 1. TRRKPORTATION Transportation to and from the facility being licensed.
In the licensir.g of nuclear power reactors, toe Applicant's Environmental Report should describe, to the extent practicable, the environrental effects of the tror,',portatinn of fuel clerents from the fuel fabrication plant to the reactor as . ell as the transportation of spent fuel eierents from the neactor to the fuel reprocessing plant and the transportation of packaged radioactive material from tne ' reactor to low level waste burial grounds. In the licensing of fuel reprocessing plants, the Applicant's Environmental Report snould describe tne environmental effects of the transportation of spent fuel to the plant and the transportation of hign level and los level wastes from the plant to the location-of storage or dispo:.al offsite. This information should, to tne extent practicable, include the method of transport (i.e. , rail, highway, or water) to and f rom the facility being licensed; anticipated frequency. of each type of shipment; and the type of transport containers for each type of shipaent.
!!. TRANSMISSION LINES In the licensing of nuclear power reactors, the Applicant's Environmental Report should contain a. general description of the environmental effects of transmission lines whose construction is-necessitated by the additional electric.pader to be supplied from the reactor. In general, such- transmission lines will include lines running from the reactor to the location where the new line feeds into a substation, major existing grid, or other existing systers.
The Applicant should also identify any authorizations or approvals obtained from Federal, regional, State and local authorities. 4 L.__

1 2 111. ACCI DEN T_S_ Postulated accidents are discussed in anotner context in Applicants' Safety Analysis Reports. ine prir.cipal line of defense is accident prever. tion through correct design, manufacture, and operation, and a quality assurance progran is used to provide and maintain the necessary hign integrity of the reactor system. Deviations that nay occur are handled by protective systens to place and hold the plant in a safe condition. Notwi ths t ar. ding all this, the conservative postulation is nade that serious accidents might occur, in spite of the fact that they are extrerely unlikely, and engineered safety features are installed to mitigate the consequences of these unlikely postulated events. in the consideraticn of the environnental risi.s due to postulated accidents, the probabilities of their occurrer.cc and their consequences must both be taken into account, it is not practicable to consider all possibic occidents, so the spectrum of accidents, ranging in severity from trivial to very serious, is divided into classes in the attacht d table. Each class can be characterized by an occurrence' rate and a set of consequences, ideally, the classes would be srall and homogeneous; practically, each of the classes in tne table includes events with different probabilities and consequences. Using typical or average characteristics for eacn class is nevertheless satisfactory, since occurrences of greater or less severity are covered in other classes. For each class except Classes 1 and 9, the environmental consequences should be evaluated using assumptions as realistic as the state of knowledge permits. Those classes found to have significant adverse environmental effects should be evaluated as to probability, or frequency of occurrence, to enable estimates to be made of environmental risk or cost arising from accidents of the given class. Class 1 events need not be considered because of their trivial censequences. e

)
Class 8 events are the or.es considered in Safety Analysis Reports and Safety Evaluations. Iney are used, together with highly conservative assumptions, as the design-basis events to establish the performance mquirenants of engineered safety features. The highly conservative assumptions and calculations legitimately used for safety evaluations are not suitable for environmental risk evaluation, because tne probability of occurrence is so icw for the unfavorable combinations of circumstances used. For this reason, Class 8 events are to be evaluated malistically, and will have consequences predicted in this way that are far less severe than those given for the same events in Safety Analysis Reports, using conservative evaluations. The occurrences in Class 9 involve sequences of postulated successive failures more severe than those postuuted for the design-basis for protection systems and engineered safety fea tu res . Their consequences could be severe. Howe ve r, the probability of their occurrence is so smsll that their environrental risk is extremely 104. Defense in depth (multiple physical barriers), quality assurance for design, manufacture, and operation, continued surveillance and testing, and conservative design are all ap:) lied to provide and naintain the required high degree of assurance that potential accidents in tnis class am, and will remain, sufficiently remote in probability that the environmntai risk is extrerrely low. For these reasons, it is not necessary to discuss' them in Applicants' Envi ronmental Reports.
