Updated Final Safety Analysis Report - (STS-004-002)13.1.8 Calculation <strong>of</strong> Total Contamination InventoryThe total contamination inventory for the primary and auxiliary systems was estimated based on thesample data. The contamination inventory is broken into two parts: internal surface contaminationand contamination entrained in residual coolant.13.1.8.1 Surface ContaminationThe surface contamination estimate begins with an assessment <strong>of</strong> the steam generatorcontamination content. Published industry data indicate that in pressurized-water reactors(PWRs), the majority <strong>of</strong> coolant-borne corrosion/fission products that are not removed by thechemical volume and control system (CVCS) are deposited in the steam generators. For areference PWR (Trojan), the generators contain about 85% <strong>of</strong> the total deposited activationproduct inventory. The balance <strong>of</strong> the activity is distributed in various other components basedon relative surface area and deposition characteristics <strong>of</strong> the system/component.Steam generator activity content was estimated based on the highest contamination level foundin the starboard generator. Assumptions for the calculation are as follows: The only nuclide <strong>of</strong> concern for surface contamination is Co-60; Smears were taken over a <strong>10</strong>0-cm 2 area; and, The removal factor for smears is 0.1The estimated internal steam generator surface area was calculated to be 7.2E6 cm 2 and totalestimated activity in one generator in curies is calculated 46.8 mCi or 93.6 mCi for both steamgenerators.Adjusting for reactor/steam generator surface area ratios and unit layout (2-loop vs. 4-loop),activity distribution assignments were made based on the reference PWR. Associated activitylevels were calculated and are summarized in Table 13-7.Table 13-7 Total Surface Contamination InventorySystem Activity distribution (%) Total estimated activity (Ci)Reactor vessel andinternals5 0.0054*Steam generators 87 0.0936Primary coolantsystem pipingAuxiliary systemspiping3 0.00322.3 0.0025Pressurizer 0.2 0.0002Other 2.5 0.0027Totals <strong>10</strong>0 0.<strong>10</strong>8 or <strong>10</strong>8 mCi* Excludes volumetrically distributed activation products in the reactor vesselScans and samples confirmed that the primary nuclide deposited on surfaces in reactor systemsis Co-60.
