6.0 ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS 6.15 CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE RATE TESTING PROGRAM A program shall be established to implement the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions. This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak Test Program, dated September 1995," as modified by the following exception:

a. NEI 94 1995, Section 9.2.3: The first ILRT performed after October 30, 1992 shall be performed no later than October 29, 2007.

The peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident, Pa, is 49.6 psig.

The maximum allowable containment leakage rate, La, at Pa, shall be 0.15% of primary containment air weight per day.

The provisions of SR 4.0.2 do not apply to the test frequencies specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

The provisions of SR 4.0.3 are applicable to the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

Containment leakage rate acceptance criterion is < 1.0 La. During the first unit startup following testing in accordance with this program, the leakage rate acceptance criteria are < 0.60 La for the Type B and Type C tests and < 0.75 La for Type A tests.

Overall air lock leakage rate acceptance criterion is < 0.05 La when tested at > Pa.

Each containment 8-inch purge supply and exhaust isolation valve leakage rate acceptance criterion is < 0.01 La when tested at Pa.
