Page 4 of 37
The Process Building Ventilation System (PBVS) which is also referred to as the Main
Building Ventilation System (MBVS) is part of the facility confinement and includes
components classified as active Safety-Significant Structures, Systems, and Components
(SS SSCs). It maintains negative pressure within the Process Building (PB) while
maintaining more potentially contaminated areas negative with respect to less potentially
contaminated areas. (Appendix A, Item 1) Management of space pressures prevents
migration of radioactive materials to outside atmosphere or to building areas of lesser
potential contamination. The PBVS also provides High Efficiency Particulate Air
(HEPA) filtration of exhaust air to minimize the release of radionuclide particulate
emissions to the environment. (Appendix A, Item 1) See Attachment A for a definition
of HEPA filters and Attachment B for an overview diagram of the PBVS.
The system consists of supply Air Handling Units (AHUs), exhaust blowers, ductwork,
dampers, filters, and controls which are either provided locally or remotely from the
PBVS Control Panel (Appendix A, Item 28) located in Building 7880B adjacent to the
Shift Superintendent (SS) work station.
The PBVS supply is bounded by outside air intakes at the AHUs and grilles supplying air
to local building areas.
The PBVS exhaust is bounded by local area exhaust grilles which remove air from
building spaces and the building stack discharge to atmosphere. Exhaust air is filtered
through HEPA filters and sampled for radionuclides before release to the environment.
(Appendix A, Item 1)
Systems that interface with the PBVS include the environmental chilled water system,
process tanks, the Supernate Evaporator, isokinetic sampling cabinets, Glove Box (GB),
Box Breakdown Area (BBA), Cask Processing Enclosure (CPE), Hot Cell, stack sampler,
electrical power and control signals, instrument air, and the facility control system.

System Classification
The PBVS is an active system with components designated as SS SSC in Appendix A,
Item 1, which are subject to the Technical Safety Requirements (TSR). (Appendix A,
Item 2) The remainder of the system is standard commercial quality. See Appendix A,
Item 7 for a detailed identification of safety significant components.

Blower B-211B Blower B211-B may be used as required to exhaust air from the Hot
Cell based on increased pressure drop across Filter Housing F-211B
HEPA filters to manage Hot Cell differential pressure (dP) and exhaust
flow.
Blower B-213A As required, this blower may supply air through Filter Housing F213A into the BBA.
Blower B-213B Exhausts air from the GB and BBA, through Filter Housing F-213B,
into the main exhaust duct. This blower is considered a SS SSC in
accordance with Appendix A, Item 1.
Blower B-124 Exhausts air from the EL 770 Supernate Sampling Stations into the main
exhaust duct.
Blower B-323 May exhaust air from the EL 805 Sludge Sampling Stations into the
main exhaust duct.
These booster fans are constant speed; however, air flow capacity may be either increased
or decreased by changing the respective drive or adjusting adjacent in-line dampers.
The PBVS is balanced such that air flows from areas of less potential contamination into
areas of greater potential contamination. See the system air Test and Balance (TAB)
Analysis Reports listed as references in Appendix B.
Air conditioner AC-193 supplies 100% outside air which is filtered, heated, or cooled to
the Cask Processing Enclosure (CPE).
Blower B-192B Exhausts HEPA filtered air from CPE Filter Housing FH-192. AC-193
supply air fan and exhaust blower B-192B employ variable frequency drives to maintain
specified flows and negative pressures in the CPE.
Supply air to the BBA and Hot Cell is taken from the AHU-004 and AHU-005 supply.
Both the BBA and Hot Cell supply are provided with a booster fan and HEPA filter
system to maintain contamination confinement should back flow occur during exhaust
blower shutdown. Although not presently necessary, each fan may be used as required to
overcome filter loading. Air from Room 231 is drawn into the GB through HEPA filters
located strategically along the GB perimeter during GB operations.
Exhaust air from the CPE, GB, BBA, and Hot Cell is HEPA filtered locally before
entering the main exhaust duct. CPE, GB, BBA and Hot Cell exhaust air flow rates are
monitored to ensure quantities prescribed by Appendix A, Item 19, are met. Exhaust air
is then again filtered by two stages of credited HEPA filters, arranged in series, when
passed through Filter Housings F-011, F-012, and F-013.
Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013, located just downstream of F-011, F-012, and F-013,
provide the motive force for exhausting air from the PB and discharging it from the stack
into the atmosphere.
The PBVS is designed such that any two of these exhaust filtration/blower systems have
sufficient capacity to filter and exhaust the 55,000 scfm required for the OPERATION
MODE, leaving one train available for back-up or maintenance activities. In addition,
CM-A-ME-001, R6
Page 8 of 37
Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013 are equipped with variable speed drives which provide
the flexibility to operate all three trains at partial capacity simultaneously.

General Requirements

The PBVS is intended to perform its function at all times, and is required in both the
OPERATION and STANDBY MODE. (See Definitions/Glossary for a description of the
OPERATION and STANDBY MODE.) (Appendix A, Items 1 and 2)
Requirement: Confine radiological material by maintaining the PB at a pressure
negative with respect to outside. (Appendix A, Item 1)
Basis: The motive force for air infiltration or exfiltration through building envelope
cracks and openings is the dP occurring across the building shell. Ambient space
pressure within the PB is generally maintained at negative 0.1 in. w.c. nominal with
respect to the outside environment to ensure air infiltrates into the PB and to prevent
exfiltration of potentially contaminated air. (Appendix A, Item 4) Note that temporary
fluctuations (typically less than 30 minutes duration) associated with opening or closing
doors and switching exhaust blowers is acceptable.
Requirement: Maintain areas of higher potential contamination at a pressure negative
with respect to areas of lesser potential contamination. (Appendix A, Item 1)
Basis: The motive force for air movement within the building is dP. Maintaining higher
potentially contaminated area pressures negative with respect to lesser potentially
contaminated areas ensures air movement toward and subsequent confinement of
radiological particles within the higher potentially contaminated area.
(Appendix A, Item 4)
Requirement: Provide HEPA filtration of the exhaust system. (Appendix A, Item 1)
Basis: The exhaust air stream passes through a minimum of two banks of HEPA filters in
series before exiting the stack into the atmosphere. The F-011, F-012, and F-013 Stage 3
and 4 HEPAs provide primary control for reducing particulate and radionuclide
emissions. Because the size of radionuclide particles are small compared to other
particles it is imperative to utilize HEPA filtration to maintain emissions ALARA.
(Appendix A, Items 4 and 5)
Requirement: Differential pressure (dP) across each in-service Stage 3 and Stage 4
PBVS HEPA bank shall be greater than or equal to 0.15 in. w.c. but less than or equal to
6.0 in. w.c. (Appendix A, Item 1 and 2)
Basis: Manufacturers ratings for the HEPAs used are nominally 1.0 to 1.3 in. w.c. dP
for a clean filter and up to 3.0 in. w.c. for a dirty filter. In addition, representative HEPAs
have been tested to ensure integrity up to 6.0 in. w.c. (Appendix A, Item 6) The greater
than or equal to 0.15 in. w.c. lower dP limit ensures the HEPAs are not breached;
whereas, the less than or equal to 6.0 in. w.c. upper dP limit ensures the HEPAs will not
overload to failure.

BBA and GB may be verified downstream of Blower B-213B at Flow Rate Test Point
(FP-221).
Requirement: The CPE exhaust system is required to provide adequate exhaust air flow
to maintain the CPE atmosphere less than 25% LFL for flammable gases or vapors
generated from VOCs, and provides a local alarm function indicating a low exhaust flow
condition. The minimum exhaust flow rate is identified in the Section 3.1 table.
The CPE Ventilation System is controlled from a local control panel which includes
blower speed adjustment, Room 193 pressure control adjustment, local alarms, and
display. Although control is not provided, selected display and alarms are communicated
remotely to the HMI.
The CPE exhaust system flow element (FE-192), flow transmitter (FIT-192), flow
indicator (FIS-192), and local flow alarm (FAL-192) provide the local alarm function and
are considered DID. Exhaust Blower (B-192B) speed is controlled by PDIC-193 to
maintain the requisite air flow and associated Room 193/192 pressures and is considered
DID.
Basis: The CPE Exhaust System provides DID for the worker.
Low exhaust flow indicates there may be insufficient dilution of potential flammable
concentrations and that the CPE exhaust system may not be performing the DID
functions of maintaining the design room pressures and air flows.
PDIS-193 and PDIS-192 indicate acceptable CPE room pressures. The existence of
adequate exhaust air flow is indicated at FIS-192. Additionally, periodic surveillances of
CPE Exhaust System operability, including functional tests of the low flow alarm
(FAL-192), and periodic calibration of the CPE exhaust header pitot tube exhaust flow
transmitter (FIT-192) and indicator (FIS-192) are relied upon for Exhaust System
operability. Fresh air supply to the CPE is measured at FE-193, which is also surveilled,
tested, and calibrated.
Requirement: The Hot Cell ventilation system is required to provide adequate exhaust
air flow to maintain the atmosphere inside the Hot Cell less than 25% LFL for flammable
gases or vapors generated from VOC, and to provide a local alarm function indicating a
low exhaust flow condition to alert operators to take appropriate action.
Basis: The accident of concern for the Hot Cell is an explosion and subsequent fire
event. The exhaust header flow measurement and low flow alarm notify the operators
when a low flow condition below the minimum exhaust flow rate identified in the Section
3.1 table occurs. A low exhaust header flow indicates that there may no longer be
sufficient dilution of potential flammable concentrations and that the Hot Cell exhaust
system may not be performing its function.

Most of the Room 231 exhaust air is filtered locally by Filter Housing F-231 before
entering the main exhaust duct. F-231 is located in the northeast corner of Room 231.
F-231 houses prefilters followed by a single stage of HEPA filters. The HEPA filters
provide confinement of contamination should back flow occur during blower shutdown.
Filter Housing F-202 provides local filtration of POG from the Supernate Evaporator. It
contains moisture separators, 30% pre-filters, 90% pre-filters, and HEPAs in series.
F-202 is located at the North wall inside Room 327. POG is drawn through F-202 by
Blower B-202 before being discharged into the main exhaust duct.
The CPE Ventilation System was recently added to the PBVS. Once through 100%
outside air is supplied by AC-193, which includes 30% prefilters followed by 85%
ASHRAE filters. AC-193 is a direct expansion refrigerant unit containing electric heat.
It is located outside the Crane Bay north wall. Supply air from AC-193 to the CPE is
again filtered by HEPA systems (SFH-191, SFH-192, and SFH-193) located at the air
distribution points into Rooms 191, 192, and 193, respectively. The HEPA filters
provide contamination confinement should backflow occur.
During testing and balancing, air supply to Room 191 was terminated by closing damper
ID-191. This action was performed to ensure Room 191 air flows into Room 192.
Although ID-191 remains closed, that flow path remains available should supply air be
required.
Exhaust air from the CPE is directed into Filter Housing FH-192, which contains two
parallel filter trains. Each train houses a moisture separator, ASHRAE 85% efficient
prefilter, Stage 3, and Stage 4 HEPA filters in series, which filter the air prior to
discharge into the PBVS.
The CPE exhaust ductwork replaced the existing Crane Bay Expansion exhaust
ductwork which is no longer required. Blower B-192B was connected to the existing
ductwork and is used to exhaust the CPE air into the PBVS. Exhaust air from other
Elevation 805 vacant areas was reduced to accommodate the additional CPE exhaust
quantity discharged into the PBVS exhaust system.
A balance between the supply air blower (AC-193) and the exhaust air blower (B-192B)
controls the quantity of air which passes through the CPE and is exhausted into the PBVS
exhaust duct. A control sequence which monitors dP in Room 193 using PDIT-193
controls B-192B speed to maintain CPE ambient pressure negative with respect to the
30-Ton Crane Bay. Pressure switch PIS-192 located downstream of PID-403, is
interlocked with B-192B to prevent positive downstream static duct pressure.
Air from the AHU-005 supply is delivered through Filter Housing F-211A to the Hot
Cell. Filter Housing F-211A contains a single stage of HEPA filters for confinement of
contamination should back flow occur during blower shutdown. Supply Blower B-211A
is available to overcome pressure loss through the filters, if required. However, it is not
presently required and is administratively locked to prevent operation. Blower B-211A
and Filter Housing F-211A are located in the Elevation 805 Room 321 Hot Cell
Maintenance Area.

GB, BBA, CPE, and Hot Cell exhaust airflow provides the motive force for diluting
potential contaminants and transporting them to the filters where they are captured.
Electrical power, control signals, with the exception of the sensing element, and
instrument air are separate from and do not normally penetrate the PBVS process air
flow. Consequently these support systems are not normally subject to contamination
from the potentially contaminated exhaust air stream. Appendix A, Item 7 provides
detailed identification of boundaries and safety components associated with the PBVS.
Electrical power for the PBVS is generally provided from Motor Control Centers (MCC)
located in the Electrical Equipment Building. MCCs serving the PBVS include MCC-1
(T-CM-FW-D-EE-003) and MCC-4 (T-CM-FW-D-EE-006). Control power and small
loads may be powered from 120V power distribution panels.
Power for any one of the three PBVS blowers, (B-011, B-012, and B-013), the Supernate
Bypass Blower (B-202), the CPE Exhaust Blower (B-192B), and either of the plant air
compressors is provided by the diesel generator in the event that the electric power
supply is interrupted. (Appendix A, Item 1) De-energized blowers must be manually
restarted after generator start and after return of site power.
Equipment is either controlled locally or by the PBVS Control Panel located at the SS
Control Point. Central control of ventilation equipment and components was previously
performed by the HMI Control System also located at the SS Control Point.
DCN-IC-082 replaced the HMI control with the PBVS Control Panel for monitoring and
control of the PBVS. Although the HMI remains useful for displaying and recording
long term trend data; it no longer has control capability.
4.1.4
(Appendix A, Item 1)
rd
Operability
PBVS normal system operating configuration is identified as maintaining sufficiently low
PB absolute pressure by exhausting at least 55,000 scfm with the two supply AHUs
operating, while maintaining dP across each in-service Stage 3 and 4 HEPA between 0.15
and 6.0 in. w.c. (Appendix A, Items 1 and 2)
A normal operating exhaust air flow of 55,000 scfm can be maintained with all three or
any two of three exhaust Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013 operating. See Section 5.2.4
for operation at off-normal conditions.

Flow Indicator FI-014 displays the sum of the flow from FI-011, FI-012, and FI-013,
which is the total exhaust air discharging from the stack. The output signal from FIS-014
will shut down the selected supply air handling unit (AHU-004 or AHU-005) when total
flow falls below 55,000 scfm and enables operation above 55,000 scfm. In addition, the
FIS-014 output signal will shut down the second air handling unit for total exhaust flow
below 40,000 scfm and enables operation above 40,000 scfm. AHU-004 is generally
selected as the last-off, first-on AHU; however, the last-off, first-on sequence may be
reversed based on operational requirements, e.g., AHU maintenance. Surveillance is
performed in accordance with Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.1.2. Calibration of
PBVS exhaust flow devices is performed in accordance with SR 4.1.6.
Differential pressure (dP) occurring across F-011, F-012, and F-013 Stage 3 and 4 HEPA
filters is displayed by SS SSC gauges PDIT-011F and G, PDIT-012F and G, and PDIT013F and G. Gauge indications are manually monitored and recorded on the roundsheets
regularly during the OPERATION MODE to ensure dP is between 0.15 and 6.0 in. w.c.
Surveillance is performed in accordance with SR 4.1.1. Calibration is performed in
accordance with SR 4.1.5.
The following alarm information is provided here for convenience only and may not fully
agree with controls executed in the field. Alarms are programmed as required to
accommodate changing process conditions. The following instruments generally provide
a visual and audible alarm locally and at the operators station both below the low and
above the high set points.

Fire Protection
The PBVS, including the F-011, F-012, and F-013 HEPA filters, is required as a SS SSC
to mitigate the dose consequences of the postulated GB fire (Appendix A, Item 1).
An evaluation of the effects a GB fire would have on the F-011, F-012, and F-013 HEPA
filters is included in CH-R-AD-001, Glove Box Design Basis Fire Impacts Analysis on
Main Building Ventilation HEPA Trains. The evaluation assesses the impacts of soot
loading, air temperatures, and dP across the HEPAs.
The F-011, F-012, and F-013 HEPA filters are UL 586 Listed and rated for a minimum of
250F. (Appendix A, Item 6) Other components are generally specified to an industry
standard, where applicable.
4.4
4.4.1
Testability
Test ports are provided at desired locations in the duct and filter housings to enable flow,
HEPA filter efficiency, and pressure testing. Central control panels provide the
capability to energize, de-energize, and monitor specified ventilation components. In
addition, the speed of Blowers B-011, B-012, B-013, B-192B, and AC-193 may be
controlled from their respective control panels.
4.4.2

These procedures detail specific preventive maintenance techniques, which include both
conditioned based and reliability-centered maintenance, allowing the planning of
corrective maintenance in advance.
Conditioned based maintenance includes vibration analysis, oil analysis, temperature
monitoring, thermal imaging, and ultrasonic frequency analysis which are used to predict
the need to correct problems such as failing bearings, poor lubrication, misalignment, or
improper balance. Reliability-centered maintenance includes scheduled periodic visual

PBVS Process Flow Diagrams T-CM-FW-D-ME-202 through 205 and CPE Process
Flow Diagram T-CM-FW-D-ME-206 provide design flows identified prior to TAB
activities. Flow adjustments may require change during TAB activities to achieve area
pressure relationships.
PBVS Safety Significant Components are identified in CM-A-EG-004, Safety Significant
Structures, Systems and Components.
Discharge ductwork and components downstream of Filter Housings F-011, F-012, and
F-013, including the stack, are not safety significant.
5.1.2
Electrical Boundaries:
Environmental Boundaries:
The supply air boundary with the outside environment occurs at the outside air intake to
AHU-004, AHU-005, and AC-193. Backflow of air through supply AHU intakes is
prevented by having the inlet dampers fail closed in the event of power loss.
The Stage 4 HEPA filters located in F-011, F-012, and F-013 provide the final
contamination confinement boundary between the system and outside environment.
Emissions to the atmosphere from the PBVS exhaust air stack are sampled in accordance
with CM-P-RP-309, Environmental Permits Inspections/Monitoring and Reporting.
5.1.3
5.1.4
Principles of Operation
PBVS exhaust airflow and resulting negative pressure is provided by Blowers B-011, B
012, and B-013.
CM-A-ME-001, R6
Page 23 of 37
Exhaust air is HEPA filtered through Filter Housings F-011, F-012, and F-013 just before
entering the associated blower.
Air exhausted from Room 231, the Supernate Evaporator, GB, BBA, CPE, and Hot Cell
is filtered locally before entering the PBVS exhaust ductwork.
The Supernate Evaporator, GB/BBA, CPE, and Hot Cell exhaust systems incorporate
booster blowers to overcome pressure drop through the respective filters, enable air
balancing, and reduce energy consumption of Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013.
5.1.5

Failure of one AHU requires that the total exhaust air flow rate be reduced to
40,000 scfm, resulting in 20,000 scfm more exhaust than supply air. (Appendix
A, Item 2)
4.
Coincident failure of both AHUs requires that the total exhaust air flow rate be
reduced to 20,000 scfm, resulting in 20,000 scfm more exhaust than supply air.
5.
CM-A-ME-001, R6
Page 24 of 37
CPE exhaust blower (B-192B) failure may cause reduced dP and airflow in the
CPE. PDIS-193 will shut down the CPE supply blower (AC-193) on loss of
Room 193 dP below 0.1 in. w.c. Functional testing has demonstrated the CPE
will remain slightly negative from exhaust flow provided by any one of PBVS
Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013. Additionally, pressure switch PIS-192 located
downstream of PID-403 is interlocked with B-192B to prevent positive
downstream static duct pressure.
Blowers B-011, B-012, and B-013 and the respective filtration systems are each designed
to filter and exhaust 50% of the stack flow to ensure 100% system design capacity with
one blower out of service. Although excess exhaust blower capacity is provided blower
speed is controlled to maintain exhaust flow within acceptable limits.
Power for any one of the three PBVS blowers, (B-011, B-012, B-013), the Supernate
Bypass Blower (B-202), the CPE Exhaust Blower (B-192B), and either of the plant air
compressors is provided by the diesel generator in the event that the electric power
supply is interrupted. (Appendix A, Item 1) De-energized blowers must be manually
restarted after generator start and after return of site power.

Operations
5.2.1
CM-A-ME-001, R6
Page 26 of 37
Air Supply and exhaust damper position settings have been established, verified, and
locked or marked and secured to achieve design exhaust ventilation flow rates.
HEPA filters located in CPE exhaust Filter Housing FH-192 and the FH-194 Drum-Out
enclosure (T-RH-FW-D-ME-316) are periodically in-place efficiency tested.
5.2.2
System Startup
Startup of the MVBS is performed in accordance with UT-UET-OP-506, Main Building
Ventilation and HEPA System.
Start-up of the CPE ventilation system is performed in accordance with
RH-REF-OP-112.
5.2.3
Normal Operations
Normal operation of the PBVS is characterized by the following statement:
The ventilation system maintains a sufficiently low absolute pressure by exhausting at
least 55,000 scfm with the two AHUs operating. (Appendix A, Item 2)
PBVS mode changes are performed in accordance with UT-UET-OP-506, Main Building
Ventilation and HEPA System.
During plant normal operations routine checks on system performance and performance
data logging are performed in accordance with CM-X-OP-006, Round Sheets.
Although not utilized for control, the HMI maintains an automatic historical record of
exhaust air flow rate, temperature, and relative humidity, entering the F-011, F-012, and
F-013 Stage 4 HEPA filters.
PBVS LCO status, the on/off status of AHU-004, AHU-005, B-011, B-012, B-013,
B-202, H-202, B-211A, B-211B, AC-193, B-192B, B-213A, and B-213B are reported at
shift turnover. This information is recorded on CM-X-OP-005, Plant Status Checklist.
5.2.4
Off-Normal Operations
Consult Appendix A, Item 2, for ventilation system off-normal operations affecting
safety-significant components identified in Appendix A, Item 7. Off-normal operations
not affecting safety-significant components are handled on an individual basis.
F-011, F-012, and F-013 Stages 3 and 4 HEPA filters reduce radionuclide particulate
emission under normal and accident conditions. (Appendix A, Item 1)
System monitoring using CM X-OP-006, Round Sheets, provides a major source for
identifying off-normal conditions. Although not credited, the HMI which monitors
exhaust air flow rate, temperature, and relative humidity at the F-011, F-012, and F-013
Stage 4 HEPA filters is an additional source for identifying off-normal conditions.
Off-normal operations and recovery of the PBVS is included in UT-UET-OP-506, Main
Building Ventilation and HEPA System.

System Shutdown
Operation of the PBVS is required by LCO 3.1.1 (Appendix A, Item 2) for CH waste to
be exposed (Appendix A, Item 2). Prior to shutdown of any portion of the system ensure
the plant operational mode meets desired status and compliance with any applicable
LCO. (Appendix A, Item 2)
Shutdown of PBVS equipment results in changing area pressures within the PB. To
manage PB negative pressures and to maximize confinement, exhaust air should exceed
supply by a minimum of 15,000 scfm at all times. Consequently shutdown must be
executed by a staged shutdown of supply air accompanied by a staged shutdown of
exhaust air. Care should be exercised to avoid injury at doorways or vinyl enclosures
during this period of changing area pressures.
Specific procedures for shutdown of the PBVS are included in UT-UET-OP-506, Main
Building Ventilation and HEPA System.
Shutdown of the CPE ventilation system is performed in accordance with RH-REF-OP112.
