For normal plant operation, the conservative end no desikn/11 f unctionability of the N v r gas system has been reviewed. The design was found to be 2changes were required.

The vacuum breakers are adequately sized to protect the tanks.

Valve OPV-8065B was ordered to meet the maximum flowrate requirements of the nitrogen cover gas system.
