ENCLOSURE REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR CONTAINMENT PURGE SYSTEM AND CONTAINMENT VENTING SYSTEM FOR HATCH NUCLEAR STATION, UNITS 1 AND 2 DOCKET NOS. 50-321/366 1.

'fith regard to the containment purge and venting system, provide the following infornation:

a.

Discuss the provisions made to. ensure that isolation valve closure will not be prevented by debris which could poten-tially become entrained in the escaping air and steam, b.

Discuss the provisions made for testing the availability of the isolation function and the leakage rate of the isolation valves, individually, during reactor operation.

c.

Specify the amount of containment atmosphere released through the purge and vent isolation valves for a spectrum of break sizes during the maximum closure time allowed in your Technical Specifications.

d.

Provide an analysis to demonstrate the acceptability of the provisions made to protect structures and safety-related equipment, e.g., fans, filters, and ductwork, located beyond the purge system isolation valves against loss of function from the environment created by the escaping air and steam.

e.

For the containment purge isolation valves, specify the differential pressure across the valve for which the maximum leak rate occurs. Provide test results (e.g., from vendor tests of leakage rate versus valve differential pressure) which support your conclusion.
