e EXHIBIT B (Pega 4 of 7) Bases Continued: 3.7 A. Primary Containment He purpose of the vacuum relief valves is to equalize the pressure between the drywell and suppres-sion chamber and between the suppression chamber and reactor building during loss of coolant accident so that structural integrity of the containment is maintained. The vacuum relief system between the pressure suppression chamber and reactor building consist of two 1007. vacuum relief breakers (2 parallel sets of-2 valves in series). Operation of either system will g maintain the pressure differential less than 1 psig. W e external design pressure is 2 psig. One valve may be out of service for repairs for a period of seven days. This period is based on the low probability that system redundancy would be required during this time. If repairs cannot be completed within seven days, the reactor coolant system is brought to a condition where vacuum relief is no longer required. 'Ihe capacity of the. ten (10)drywell vacuum relief valves is sized to limit the pressure differential between the suppression chamber and drywell during post-accident drywell cooling operations to less than the design limit of 2 psig. The relief valves are sized on the basis of the Bodega Bay pressure suppression system tests. Since they are in series with the reactor building to suppression charrber vacuum relief valves pressure drop across these valves must be included in the evaluation of drywell negative pressures, even though there does not appear to be a mechanism for causing negative pres-sures in excess of the 2 psig design pressure. With eight of the ten valves in service, the differ-ential pressure across the valves for maximum flow 'onditions would increase approximately 127. above the ten valve differential pressure. With this additional pressure drop the total differential pressure would still be less than the 2 psig design external pressure of the drywell. Containment integrity would therefore not be impaired. j l N3 M; In addition to the above considerations, postulated leakage through the vacuum breaker; to} the; suppress i sion chamber air space could result in a partial bypass of pressure suppression in the:eventiof ajIACA'i@ or a small or intermediate steam leak. This effect could potentially resulttin exceedins'tcodtaitesett D design pressure..

A <4 EXHIB1T B (Page 5 of 7 ) 3/4 inch opening of any one valve or 1/8 inch opening for all ten valves, measured at the bottom of the disc. The position indication system is designed to detect closure within 1/8 inch at the bottom of the disc. At each refueling outage and following any significant maintenance on the vacuum breaker valves, posi-tive seating of the vacuum breakers will be verified by leak test. The leak test is conservatively designed to demonstrate that leakage is less than that equivalent to leakage through a one-inch orifice which is about 37. of the maximum allowable. This test is planned to establish a baseline for valve performance at the start of each operating cycle and to ensure that vacuum breakers are maintained as nearly as possible to their design condition. This test is not planned to sem as a limiting condi-tion for operation. During reactor operation, an exercise test of the vacuum breakers will be conducted monthly. This test will verify that disc travel is unobstructed and will provide verification that the valves are closing fully, through the position indication system. If cne or more of the vacuum breakers does not seat fully as detemined from the indicating system, a leak test will be conducted to verify that leakage is within the maximum allowable. Since the extreme lower limit of switch detection capability is approximately 1/16", the planned test is designed to strike a balance between the detection switch capability to verify closure and the maximum allowable leak rate. A special test was performed to establish the basis for this limiting condition. During the first refueling outage all ten vacuum breakers were shimmed 1/16" open at the bottom of the d sc. The bypass area associated with the shimming corresponded to 507. of the maximum allowable.1-The results of this test are shown in Fig-ure 3.7.1.
