3.16.3 Components in the Containment Hydrogen Control Systems' flow path shall be operable on each Oconee unit with the following exceptions.

a.

If the flow path is inoperable it shall be restored to operable status within 7 days.

b.

If an inoperable flow path is not restored to operable status within 7 days, then the affected unit shall be at hot shutdown within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and at cold shutdow within an additional 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. (1)

The Containment Hydrogen Control Systems are required at approximately 460 hours0.00532 days <br />0.128 hours <br />7.60582e-4 weeks <br />1.7503e-4 months <br /> (19.2 days) following a LOCA to limit hydrogen concentration to 4.1 percent by volume.

The Containment Hydrogen Recombiner System is utilized as the primary method to maintain the post-accident containment atmosphere hydrogen concentration below is lower flanimality limit of 4.1 percent by volume. The Containment Hydrogen Recombiner System includes a portable hydrogen recombinor wlih will be moved to the affected unit following a LOCA, anchored to its foundation, and connected to piping penetrations. Also included is a portable control panel.

which will be locally mounted near the recombiner, anchored to its foundation and connected to its motor control center and the recombiner.

The Reactor Building Hydrogen Purge System is composed of a portable purging staton and a portion of the Penetradan Room Ventilation System. The purge system is operated as necessary (if the Containment Hydrogen Recombinor Syinum is inoperable) to maintain the hydrogen concentration below the control limit.

The Comainment Hydrogen Recombiner System is the preferable method of post-accida hydrogen control since It produces no radioactive gaseous release to the atmosphere. Therefore, the Containment Hydrogen Reermbiner System will be utilied as the primary method to control the conainent hydrogen concentration below 4.1 percent by volume.

g 3.16 CONTAINMENT HYDROGEN CONTROL SYSTEMS Annliablit Applies to the Containment Hydrogen Recombiner System (including portable hydrogen recombih unit and the Hydrogen Recombiner System flow path) and the Reactor Building Hydrogen Purge System whenever any Oconee unit is above cold shutdown conditions.

To dine the conditions necessary to assure the availability of adequate containment hydrogen control capability.

3.16.1 The Contalnment Hydrogen Control Systems shall be operable as follows:

a. A portable hydrogen recombiner unit shall be operable and available for connecdon to the affected unit.
b. If no portable hydrogen recombiner unit is operable and available for connectiob to the affected unit, a portable hydrogen recombiner ut sala be restored to an operable status within 7 days.
c. If the conditions in 3.16.1.b can not be satisfied, the Reactor Buiding Hydrogen Purg Systen shall be verified operable within the next 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.
d. With the Reactor Building Hydrogen Purge System operable, restore a hydrogen recombiner unit to operati status within 30 days or submit a report to the NRC within the next 30 days describing the circumances reauftn in i

able equipment aid plans for returning tho equipment to service ad for any interim surveillance testing of the purge system.

e. With a portable hydrogen recombiner unit operable, tbe Reactor Building Hydrogen Purge system is not required to be operable.
