SUMMARY
/ MINUTES FOR CONTAINMENT REQUIREMENTS DECEMBER 9, 1986 WASHINGTON, DC Purpose The ACRS Subcommittee on Containment Requirements met on December 9, 1986 in Washington, DC. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the Staff's (NRR) proposed generic letter on BWR Mark I containment require-ments, including a discussion of BWR Emergency Procedure Guidelines (EPGs) which include guidance for containment venting. The Subcommittee heard presentations from members of NRC/NRR and BWR Owners' Group (BWROG). Copies of the agenda and selected slides from the presen-tations are attached. The meeting began at 1:00 p.m. and adjourned at 5:30 p.m., and was held entirely in open session. The principal attend-ees were as follows:
Attendees ACRS NRC/NRR C. Mark, Chairman R. Bernero J. Ebersole, Member W. Hodges W. Kerr, Member G. Thomas C. Michelson, Member C. Siess, Member BWROG C. Wylie, Member I. Catton, Consultant Terry Pickens (NSP)
D. Houston, Staff Discussion In his opening statement, C. Mark drew attention to the communications by Commissioner Asselstine and D. Okrent, in which they individually expressed their strong support to the proposed BWR Mark I improvements.
R. Bernero (NRR) discussed the details of the proposed generic letter on improvements for BWR Mark I containments. In support of the proposed required actions, he reviewed the NRC Severe Accident Policy Statement, portions of GDC 16 and 50 and the IDCOR/NRC programs in regard to DESIGNATED ORIGINAL h PDR certified By S _

~
s u w
b Containment Requirements Minutes December 9, 1986 reference plant studies and Individual Plant Examinations (IPE). He -
discussed the characteristics of BWR Mark Is and indicated that Mark I containments were vulnerable due to their small volume (<lll, 300,000 cu.
ft.) and small drywell floor area. He presented the details of a five element program for the improvement of Mark I containments. These elements and a brief description are as follows:
- 1. Hydrogen control - no additional requirements, 10 CFR 50.44 and Tech Specs sufficient.
- 2. _ Containment Sprays - need for a primary supply system and two backup systems (one with independent power) for the drywell sprays.
In addition, the spray flow rates would be reduced by 90% to an approximate value of 800 gpm by modifications to the spray headers.
- 3. Pressure relief - a procedure shall be developed for venting of the containment when the pressure approaches the range from design pressure to 1.5 times design pressure.
- 4. Core debris control - assurance that water in the suppression pool in the event of torus failure would be held within the confines of the tcrus room.
- 5. Procedures and Training - implementation of BWR Emergency Procedure Guidelines, Revision 4 as finally approved by NRC.
R. Bernero also discussed the conditions for these improvements.
Briefly they are: (1) need not meet the quality or standards of safety related equipment, (2) installed during first refueling outage from specified date, and (3) gives relief for those plants with +.ie improvements to omit an IPE for containment performance. He concluded with a brief discussion of a preliminary cost-benefit analysis and a tentative schedule for issuing the generic letter (February 1, 1987 for public comment and May 1987 for final.)

T. Pickens (NSP-BWR0G) briefly discussed the BWROG/NUMARC program which has been developed and in progress to address the concerns of the NRC for the Mark I containments. Their program will assess the aspects of l the proposed requirements as well as the challenges.to and the capabil- '
ity of the containment structure. He indicated that the studies would be completed in the March-April 1987 time frame.
G. Thomas (NRR)discussedtheBWREmergencyProceduresGuidelines(EPG)
(Revision 4) which are currently under review by the Staff. He gave an overview of the EPGs, discussing the purpose and entry conditions for five guidelines area: (1) RPV control, (2) primary containment control, (3) secondary containment control, (4) radioactivity release control, and(5) contingencies. He discussed the functional requirements for the EPGs and the spectrum of emergencies to be addressed by them, mostly DBAs. He concluded with a review of containment venting considerations for both pressure control and combustible gas co. trol. The Staff has approved EPGs for venting in Revision 2 and 3, this approval about two years ago. The Staff's initial review of Revision 4 is expected to be completed in March 1987 with a final Safety Evaluation Report in July l
1987.
During the meeting, Subcommittee members and consultants expressed concerns and opinions as follows:
l (1) C. Mark asked whether any Mark Is evaluated in the reference plant or IPE studies had received NRC approval. (Bernero answered that t none had.) He expressed a concern that the time frame for imple-mentation of the improvements would be insufficient for analysis, modifications and FSAR charges. He inquired about the use of a filtered vent and expressed dissatisfaction with the cost-benefit analysis.

- Containment Requirements Minutes December 9, 1986 (2) C. Siess questioned the basis for an acceptable containment failure rate and indicated that this generic letter migh,t establish a defacto containment performance design objective of 0.01 for conditional containment failure probability in the event of a severe accident. He questioned the melt progression and drywell spray sequences and the uncertainties in the calculations. He also indicated that the generic letter should be revised to show that the letter in its title and introduction was concerned with BWR Mark Is only.
(3) J. Ebersole asked if any consideration had been given to the plant improvements that had been made since WASH-1400 in the NRR dis-cussion of conditional containment failure probability (none had).
He indicated it n:ould be better to vent containment to prevent core melt through the use of low pressure water systems than to hold it as a mitigating feature. He also felt the highest priority should be given to spraying water on the core, given a choice between drywell and core spray systems. He expressed concerns about venting containment when the suppression pool temperature is near saturation, thereby disabling systems that operate from the pool.
(4) C. Michelson questioned the reduction in drywell spray flow rates and the sequence for spray initiation and expressed concerns about the loss of vapor suppression processes. He asked how the concerns of Generic Issue 61 had been considered, a postulated rupture of an SRV pipe inside the torus. He felt that the containment design pressure would be reached in minutes after a rupture while the Staff indicated about 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. He questioned the instructions given to the operators if they saw a rapid rise in containment pressure. Also, he questioned if the procedures are written to recover after an operator error. He was concerned about the amount of water added to containment and requested information about the water level instrumentation in the torus and containment.
e Containment Requirements Minutes December 9, 1986 i
(5) W. Kerr questioned the definition of core melt, i.e., onset of severe core damage or core on the floor and asked how one obtained confidence in the containment behavior from the proposed improve-ments.
(6) I. Catton questioned the sequence of spray cooling the debris in the lower cavity, thus forming a crust and agglomerating the corium under the vessel. He asked the Staff to give further consideration to this matter.
