Additional Information in Support of PCN-519, Supplement 1 The PACU units filter testing sample point locations were qualified per ANSI N510-1975 which was the standard during plant construction. In accordance with ANSI N510-1975, the filter testing downstream sample points can be qualified downstream of a fan or auxiliary blower, upstream of the fan with verification of adequate mixing, multiple sampling technique, or individual filter shroud testing. For the PACU units, during the original plant startup testing the current sampling points were qualified upstream of the fan with adequate mixing verified per ANSI N510-1975. Tests performed in accordance with either ANSI N510-1975 or ASME N510-1989 provide satisfactory testing for leakage of the installed HEPA filters. Both ANSI N510-1975 and ASME N510-1989 have identical acceptance criteria for filter testing.

Since the testing equipment at SONGS is designed to use ANSI N510-1975,and the testing methodology provided in either ANSI N510-1975 or ASME N510-1989 can be used to demonstrate the adequacy of the installed filters to meet the acceptance criteria, the current sample point remains a valid point and provides filter testing results which support the design bases for this system.
