t CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (Continued)

ACTION:

(Continued) b.

The combined leakage rate for all penetrations and all valves listed in Table 3.6.3-1, except for main steam line isolation valves

  • and valves which are hydmstatically tested per Table 3.6.3-1, subject to Type B and C tests to less than or equal to 0.60 La, and The leakage rate to less than or equal to.11.5 scf per hour for any c.

one main steam line through the isolatip valves, and d.

The combined leakage rate for all containment isolation valves in hydrostatically tested lines which penetrate the primary containment to less than or equal to 1 gpm times the total number of such valves, prior to increasing the reactor coolant system temperature above 200 F.

SURVElltANCE RE0VIREMENTS 4.6.1.2 The primary containment leakage rates shall be demonstrated at the following test schedule and shall be determined in conformance with the criteria specified in Appendix J of 10 CFR Part 50 using the methods and provisions of ANSI 45.4-1972 and BN-TOP-1 and verifying the result by the Mass Point Methodology described in ANSI N56.8-1981:

Three Type A Overall Integrated Containment Leakage Rate tests shall a.

be conducted at 40 +/- 10 month intervals during shutdown at Pa, 44.0 psig, during each 10-year service period. The third test of each set shall be conducted during the shutdown for the 10-year plant inservice inspection.**

l b.

If any periodic Type A test fails to meet 0.75 La, the test schedule for subsequent Type A tests shall be reviewed and approved by the Commission.

If two consecutive Type A tests fail to meet 0.75 La.

a Type A test shall be performed at least every 18 months until two i

consecutive Type A tests meet 0.75 La, at which time the above test schedule may be resumed.

The accuracy of each Type A test shall be verified by a supplemental c.

test which:

1.

Confirms the accuracy of the test by verifying that the difference between the supplemental data and the Type A test data is within 0.25La. The formula to be used is: [Ln + Lam - 0.25 Lal 5 le s [Lo + Lam + leakage;) Lam - measured Type A leakage.where 0.25 La superimposed 2.

Has duration sufficient to establish accurately the change in leakage rate between the Type A test and the supplemental test.

3.

Requires the quantity of gas injected into the containment or bled from the containment during the supplemental test to be between 0.75 La and 1.25 La-

  • Exemption to Appendix "J" to 10 CFR Part 50.
    • The interval between the second and third Overall Integrated Leakage Rate tests of the first 10-year service period will be extended to the sixth Unit I refueling outage.

As a result, the duration of the first 10-year service period will be extended to t"e end I

of the sixth Unit I refueling outage.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued)

Type B and C tests shall be conducted with gas at P,, 44.0 psig*,

d.

at intervals no greater than 24 months except for tests involving:

1.

Air locks, 2.

Main steam line isolat4on valves, 3.

Containment isolation valves in hydrostatically tested lines which penetrate the primary containment, and Air locks shall be tested and demonstrated OPERABLE per Surveillance e.

Requirement 4.6.1.3.

f.

Main steam line isolation valves shall be leak tested at least once per 18 months.

g.

Containment isolation valves in hydrostatically tested lines which penetrate the primary containment shall be leak tested at least once per 18 months.

h.

The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are not applicable to Specifica-tions 4.6.1.2a., 4.6.1.2b., 4.6.1.2c., 4.6.1.2d., and 4.6.1.2e.
