systems, and components (SSCs)are designated safety-related because they are reliedupon to perform safety functions during normaloperation or design basis eventsa SSCs must be able to perform their design basis functionsduring normal operation and under required accident conditionsa SSCs that are determined to have safety significanceare designed, fabricated, and tested commensuratewith the criteria set forth in ANSI/ANS-1 5.8 ("QualityAssurance Program Requirements for ResearchReactors")Safety-Related SSC Definitiona Safety-related SSCs are those SSCs that are relied upon to remainfunctional during normal conditions and during and following design basisevents to assure:1. The integrity of the primary system boundary;2. The capability to shutdown the target solution vessel (TSV) and maintain thetarget solution in a safe shutdown (SSD) condition;3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential exposures comparable to the applicable guideline exposuresset forth in 10 CFR 20;4. That all nuclear processes are subcritical, including use of an approved marginof subcriticality;5. That acute chemical exposures to an individual from licensed material orhazardous chemicals produced from licensed material could not lead toirreversible or other serious, long-lasting health effects to a worker or causemild transient health effects to any individual located outside the ownercontrolled area; or6. That an intake of 30 mg or greater of uranium in soluble form by any individuallocated outside the owner controlled area does not occur Seismic Design and Quality Levels* Plant SSCs are designed to withstand the effects of the designbasis earthquake (DBE) if they perform a safety-related function orif necessary to ensure they do not degrade the function andperformance of a safety-related SSC* SHINE Quality Levels (QLs):SQL-I: Safety-related SSCs are designated as QL-1 in the QualityAssurance Program Description (QAPD), and the full measure ofthe QAPD is applied to these SSCs-QL-2: Selected SSCs that support or protect the safety function ofsafety-related equipment are designated QL-2, and qualityelements are applied commensurate with the importance to safety*QL-3: Nonsafety SSCs that do not support or protect the safetyfunction of safety-related SSCs are designated QL-3Design of Structures, Systems, andComponents* Single failure criterion is applied to safety systems-Sufficient redundancy and independence that a single failure ofan active component does not result in loss of capability toperform its safety function-A single failure, in conjunction with initiating event, does notresult in the loss of the system's ability to perform its safetyfunction* SHINE system designs based on defense-in-depthpractices, with preference for engineered and passivecontrols over administrative controls6 NRC-012-RSU.S.NRCUnited States Nuclear Regulatory Comni~ssionProtecting PrcopLt and the EnzmnmentConstruction PermitApplication ReviewSHINE Medical TechnologiesSafety Panel 2Decermber 1 5 201 5Panelists* Steven Lynch-Project Manager, NRR* Joseph Staudenmeier-Senior Reactor Systems Engineer,RES* Kevin Morrissey-Project Manager, NMSS Review Methodology* Two methodologies applied toSHINE accident analyses-Maximum hypotheticalaccident-Integrated safety analysis* Radiological and chemicalhazards evaluated against 10 CFRParts 20 and 70, respectivelyIrradiation Facility AccidentAnalysis* Irradiation facility characteristics:-Operates at low power,pressure, and temperature-Large heat sink for passivedecay heat removal-Radiological sources Event Identification* Delineation of possible accidentcategories* Identification of limiting accidentfor the category* Strategy to mitigate accident andlimit consequences* Analysis of dose consequencesSafety Concept* Detection of high radiation levels* Confinement of radiation source* Evacuate workers* Filter releases to environment* Emergency planning zone couldbe the operational boundary Limiting Accident* Release of irradiated targetsolution from one TSV* Consequences bounded by RPFmaximum hypothetical accident* Meets 10 CFR Part 20 limits-5 rem for workers-100 mrem for publicProduction Facility AccidentAnalysis* Radiological and chemicalaccident analysis performed* Defines facility hazards andcontrols that supportestablishment of design basis Production Facility AccidentAnalysis* Multiple event types:-Radiological accidents-Chemical accidents-Criticality accidents-Fires-External events Exhibit SHN-028Medical TechnologiesCommission Mandatory HearingSHINE Construction Permit ApplicationSafety -Panel 2Accident AnalysisDecember 15, 2015Accident Initiating Events and Scenarios*Bases for identification of accidents:.Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOPS)SPreliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA)*List of events from NUREG-1 537 and the Interim Staff Guidance (ISG)augmenting NUREG-1537,Experience of the hazards analysis team*Current preliminary design informationSQualitative evaluations within categories,Quantitative evaluations to determine consequences*Postulated an irradiation facility (IF) and radioisotope productionfacility (RPF) Maximum Hypothetical Accident (MHA)°Establishes an outer limit consequence, bounds other accidentsSMost limiting MHA was in the RPF ("Facility MHA")

design basis functionsduring normal operation and under required accident conditionsa SSCs that are determined to have safety significanceare designed, fabricated, and tested commensuratewith the criteria set forth in ANSI/ANS-1 5.8 ("QualityAssurance Program Requirements for ResearchReactors")Safety-Related SSC Definitiona Safety-related SSCs are those SSCs that are relied upon to remainfunctional during normal conditions and during and following design basisevents to assure:1. The integrity of the primary system boundary;2. The capability to shutdown the target solution vessel (TSV) and maintain thetarget solution in a safe shutdown (SSD) condition;3. The capability to prevent or mitigate the consequences of accidents which couldresult in potential exposures comparable to the applicable guideline exposuresset forth in 10 CFR 20;4. That all nuclear processes are subcritical, including use of an approved marginof subcriticality;5. That acute chemical exposures to an individual from licensed material orhazardous chemicals produced from licensed material could not lead toirreversible or other serious, long-lasting health effects to a worker or causemild transient health effects to any individual located outside the ownercontrolled area; or6.
