A new Note 3 is added state: This value represents the total leakage of primary coolant to the auxiliary building from equipment leakage (128 lb/day) and from primary sampling activities (168 lb/day). As indicated in ANSI/ANS 55.6-1993, only 5% of the 168 lb/day leakage from primary sampling activities can be assumed to contain design basis RCS source term activity. This decreases the total primary coolant leakage to the auxiliary building with design basis RCS source term activity used for calculating auxiliary building radioactivity concentrations to 136 lb/day.
