CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.6.1.9 One pair (one purge supply line and one purge exhaust line) of containment purge system lines may be open; the containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves in all other containment purge lines shall be closed. Operation with purge supply or exhaust isolation valves open for either purging or venting shall be limited to less than or equal to 100044 hours1.833 days <br />0.262 weeks <br />0.0603 months <br /> per 365 days. The 365 day cumulative time period will begin every January 1.

APPLICABILITY: MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4.

ACTION:

a. With a purge supply or exhaust isolation valve open in excess of the above cumulative limit, or with more than one pair of containment purge system lines open, close the isolation valve(s) in the purge line(s) within one hour or be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN/within the following 30 hours1.25 days <br />0.179 weeks <br />0.0411 months <br />.

b. With a containment purge supply and/or exhaust isolation valve having a measured leakage rate in excess of 0.05 La, restore the inoperable valve to OPERABLE status or isolate the affected penetration flow path by use of at least one closed and de-activated automatic valve, closed manual valve, or blind flange within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />. Verify** the affected penetration flow path is isolated once per 31 days for isolation devices outside containment and prior to entering Mode 4 from Mode 5 if not performed within the previous 92 days for isolation devices inside containment.

Otherwise be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours0.25 days <br />0.0357 weeks <br />0.00822 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours1.25 days <br />0.179 weeks <br />0.0411 months <br />.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.6.1.9.1 The position of the containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves shall be determined at least once per 31 days.

4.6.1.9.2 The cumulative time that the purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are open over a 365 day period shall be determined at least once per 7 days.

4.6.1.9.3 At least once per 3 months, each containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valve shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by verifying that the measured leakage rate is less than or equal to 0.05 La.*

• Enter the ACTION of LCO 3.6.1.1, "Primary Containment" when purge valve leakage results in exceeding the overall containment leakage rate acceptance criteria.

Isolation devices in high radiation areas may be verified by use of administrative means.

Isolation devices that are locked, sealed, or otherwise secured may be verified by use of administrative means.

400 additional hours is allowed for calendar year 2007 for operation of the containment ventilation system with purge isolation valves open.
