open and instrumentation drift has caused the nominal 80-psi blowdown range to be reduced to 60 psi. Maximum water leg clearing time has been calculated to be less than 6 seconds for the Monticello design. Inhibit timers are provided for each valve to prevent the valve from being manually opened less than 10 seconds following valve closure.

Valve opening is sensed by pressure switches in the valve discharge line. Each valve is provided with two trip, or actuation, systems. Each system is provided with two channels of instrumentation for each of the above described functions. A two-out-of two-once logic scheme ensures that no single failure will defeat the low-low set function and no single failure will cause spurious operation of a safety/relief valve.

Allowable deviations are provided for each specified instrument setpoint. Setpoints within the specified allowable deviations provide assurance that subsequent safety/relief valve actuations are sufficiently spaced to allow for discharge line water leg clearing.

Control room habitability protection assures that the control room operators will be adequately protected against the effects of accidental releases eg -etie><bobasreeeand of radioactive leakage which may bypass secondary containment following a loss of coolant accident or D radioactive releases from a steam line break accident, thus assuring that the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant can be operated or shutdown safely.

The system is designed to main a nominal temperature of 78*F dry bulb and 5 inal relative humidity in the main control room in the summer and a nominal temperature of 72*F in the winter.

3.17 Bases A. Control Room Ventilation System The Control Room Ventilation System provides air conditioning and heating as required to maintain a

suitable environment in.the main control room and portions of the first and second floors of the Emergency Filtration Train (EFT) building. The main control room is normally slightly pressurized and it is possible to have 0 to 100% recirculation of conditioned air. IV- s -i-is ege-to-me n . -5%

e t e ti e n-of ehl e ri n _! F B. Cpntrol Room Emergency Filtration System The Control Room Emergency Filtration System assures that the control room operators will be adequately protected against the effects of radioactive leakage which may by-pass secondary containment following a loss of coolant accident or radioactive releases from a steam line break accident. The system is designed to isolate and slightly pressurize the control room on a radiation signal in the ventilation air. Two completely redundant trains are provided.

Each train has a filter unit consisting of a prefilter, HEPA filters, and charcoal adsorbers. The HEPA filters remove particulates from the Control Room pressurizing air and prevent clogging of the iodine adsorbers. The charcoal adsorbers are installed to remove any radioiodines form the pressurizing air.

The in-place test results should indicate a HEPA filter leakage of less than 1% through DOP testing and a charcoal adsorber leakage of less than 1% through halogenated hydrocarbon testing. The laboratory carbon sample results should indicate a radioactive methyl iodide removal efficiency of a least 98% under test conditions similar to expected accident conditions. System flows should be near their design values. The verification of these performance parameters combined with the qualification testing conducted on new filters and adsorbers provide a high level of assurance that the Emergency Filtration System will perform as predicted in reducing doses to plant personnel below those level stated in Criterion 19 of Appendix A to 10 CFR 50.

Dose calculations have been performed for the Control Room Emergency Filtration System which show that, assuming 90% standby gas treatment system adsorption and filtration efficiency and 90% control room emergency filtration system adsorption and filtration efficiency and radioiodine plateout, whole body and organ doses remain within the NRC guidelines of 5 rem and 30 rem, respectively.

All toxic substances which are stored on site or stored/shipped within a 5 mile radius of the plant have been analyzed for their affect on the control room operators. It has been concluded that the operators will have at least two minutes to don protective breathing 229y_

3.17 Bases A. Control Room Ventilation System The Control Room Ventilation System provides air conditioning and heating as required to maintain a suitable environment in the main control room and portions of the first and second floors of the Emergency Filtration Train (EFT) buildin&. The main control room is normally slightly pressurized and it is possible to have 0 to 100% recirculation of conditioned air. The system is designed to maintain a nominal temperature of 78*F dry bulb and 50% nominal relative humidity in the main control room in the summer and a nominal temperature or 72*F in the winter. The Control Room Ventilation System may be isolated from unfiltered external air supply by manual action.

All toxic substances which are stored on site or stored/shipped within a 5 mile radius-of the plant have been analyzed for their affect on the control room operators. It has been concluded that the operators will have at least two minutes to don protective breathing apparatus before incapacitation limits are exceeded. For toxic substance which are transported on highways within 5 miles of the plant, it has been determined that the probability of a release from the plant due to incapacitation of the operators caused by a spill is sufficiently low that this scenario may be excluded. Protection for toxic chemicals is provided through operator training.
