- DENCproposesa LARforMPS3,whichwillreviseTS6.8.4.f, "ContainmentLeakageRateTestingProgramto:

Includeadditionalwordingtoimposethelimitationsand conditionsspecifiedinNEI9401,Revision2A.
- ThesechangeswouldallowDENCtoextendtheTypeA(ILRT) intervalfrom10yearsto15yearsandtheTypeClocalleak ratetestintervalfrom60monthsto75monthsforMPS3.
