4..1 P MA Y AINMENTINTE Rl PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted.to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, willlimit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions.

4..1 2 P I ARY NTAINME LEAKA The limitations on primary containment leakage rates ensure that the to containment leakage volume will not exceed the value assumed in the accident analyses at the pressure of 45.0 psig, P,. As an added conservatism, the measured overall integrated leakage rate s further limited to less than or equal to 0.75 I during performance of the periodic tests to accoun for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests. Crypt. A+esH3 Operating experience with main steam line isolation valves and main steam line drain valves has indicated that degradation has occasionally occurred in the leak tightness of the valves; therefore the special requirement for testing these valves.

4 14 IVI I EA E Calculated doses resulting from the maximum leakage allowance for the main steamline isolation valves in the postulated LOCA situations would be a small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 guidelines, provided the main steam line system from the isolation valves up to and including the turbine condenser remains intact. Operating experience has indicated that degradation has occasionally occurred in the leak tightness of the MSIV's such that the specified leakage requirements have not always been maintained continuously. The requirement for the leakage control system will reduce the untreated leakage from the MSIVs when isolation of the primary system and containment is required.

This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the unit. Structural, integrity is required to ensure that the containment will withstand the maximum pressure of 45.0 psig in the event of a LOCA.. A visual i'nspection i~onjunction ype-A-leakage &sos- is sufficient to demonstra e this capability.

3/4. 6. 1.6 ORWELL AND SUPPRESSION CHAMBER INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on drywell and suppression in chamber internal pressure ensure that the containment peak pressure of 45.0 psig does not exceed the design pressure of 53 psig during LOCA conditions or that the external pressure differ-ential does not exceed the design maximum external pressure differential of 5 psid. The limit of 2.0 psig for initial positive containment pressure will limit the total pressure to 45.0 psig which is less than the design pressure and is consistent with the safety analysis.

3/4.6. 1.7 DRYWELL AVERAGE AIR TEMPERATURE The limitation on drywell average air temperature ensures that the containment peak air temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 340 F during LOCA conditions and is consistent with the safety analysis.

3/4.6.1.8 DRYWELL AND SUPPRESSION CHAMBER PURGE SYSTEM'he drywell and suppression chamber purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are required to be closed during plant operation except as required for inerting; de-inerting and pressure control. Until these valves have been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA or steam line break accident, they shall be blocked so as not to open more than 504. Until these valves have been demonstrated capable of closing within the times assumed in the safety analysis, they shall not be open more than 90 hours0.00104 days 0.025 hours 1.488095e-4 weeks 3.4245e-5 months in any consecutive 365 days.

Leakage integrity tests with a maximum allowable leakage rate for purge supply and exhaust isolation valves will provide early indication of resilient material seal degradation and will allow the opportunity for repair before gross leakage failure develops. The 0.60 L leakage limit shall not be exceeded when the leakage rates determined 8y the leakage integrity tests of these valves are added to the previously determined total for all valves and penetrations subject to Type B and C tests.

Structural integrity is required to ensure that the containment will withstand the maximum pressure of 45.0 psig in the event of a LOCA.
