b.

A loss of safety function exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed.

For the purpose of this program, a loss of safety function may exist when a support system is inoperable, and:

1.

A required system redundant to the system(s) supported by the inoperable support system is also inoperable; or

2.

A required system redundant to the system(s) in turn supported by the inoperable supported system is also inoperable; or

3.

A required system redundant to the support system(s) for the supported systems b.1 and b.2 above is also inoperable.

c.

The SFDP identifies where a loss of safety function exists. If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate Conditions and Required Actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered. When a loss of safety function is caused by the inoperability of a single Technical Specification support system, the appropriate Conditions and Required Actions to enter are those of the support system.

5.5.8 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program

a.

A program shall be established to implement the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions. This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program, dated September 1995, as modified by approved exceptions.

b.

The calculated peak containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident, Pa, is 58.1 psig. The containment design pressure is 59 psig.

c.

The maximum allowable primary containment leakage rate, La, at Pa, shall be 0.10% of primary containment air weight per day.

C-409 Amendment No. 147

1. The physical arrangement of the nuclear island structures, the annex building, and the turbine building is as described in the Design Description of this Section 3.3, and as shown on Figures 3.3-1 through 3.3-14. The physical arrangement of the radwaste building and the diesel generator building is as described in the Design Description of this Section 3.3.
2. a) The nuclear island structures, including the critical sections listed in Table 3.3-7, are seismic Category I and are designed and constructed to withstand design basis loads, as specified in the Design Description, without loss of structural integrity and the safety-related functions. The design bases loads are those loads associated with:

Normal plant operation (including dead loads, live loads, lateral earth pressure loads, and equipment loads, including hydrodynamic loads, temperature and equipment vibration);

External events (including rain, snow, flood, tornado, tornado generated missiles and earthquake); and Internal events (including flood, pipe rupture, equipment failure, and equipment failure generated missiles).

b) Site grade level is located relative to floor elevation 100-0 per Table 3.3-5. Floor elevation 100-0 is defined as the elevation of the floor at design plant grade.

c) The containment and its penetrations are designed and constructed to ASME Code Section III, Class MC.(1) d) The containment and its penetrations retain their pressure boundary integrity associated with the design pressure.

e) The containment and its penetrations maintain the containment leakage rate less than the maximum allowable leakage rate associated with the peak containment pressure for the design basis accident.

f) The key dimensions of the nuclear island structures are as defined on Table 3.3-5.

g) The containment vessel above the operating deck provides a heat transfer surface. A free volume exists inside the containment shell above the operating deck.

h) The containment free volume below elevation 107.68 provides containment floodup during a postulated loss-of-coolant accident.

3. Walls and floors of the nuclear island structures as defined on Table 3.3-1, except for designed openings and penetrations, provide shielding during normal operations.
4. a) Walls and floors of the annex building as defined on Table 3.3-1, except for designed openings and penetrations, provide shielding during normal operations.

The containment vessel maximum inside height from the operating deck is 146'-7" (with tolerance of +12", -6"),

and the inside diameter is 130 feet nominal (with tolerance of +12", -6").

776 3.3.00.02h 2.h) The free volume in the containment allows for floodup to support long-term core cooling for postulated loss-of-coolant accidents.

An inspection will be performed of the as-built containment structures and equipment. The portions of the containment included in this inspection are the volumes that flood with a loss-of-coolant accident in passive core cooling system valve/equipment room B (11207). The in-containment refueling water storage tank volume is excluded from this inspection.

A report exists and concludes that the floodup volume of this portion of the containment is less than 71,960 ft3 to an elevation of 107.68'.
