1. Maintain at least one OPERABLE airlock door closed **, and either restore the inoperable interlock mechanism to OPERABLE status within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or lock one OPERABLE airlock door closed.
2. Operation may then continue proyjded that one OPERABLE airlock door is verified to be locked closed at least once per 31 days.

Insert B

  • Limited use of the OPERABLE air lock door is permitted for a cumulative time not to exceed I hour per year, for repair of the inoperable door, personnel safety, and required operational / maintenance / surveillance activities necessary to ensure safe plant operations.

Insert C

    • Use of the airlock is permitted without having an OPERABLE door locked, provided an individual is stationed at the airlock dedicated to assuring that at least one OPERABLE airlock door remains closed at all times.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS l

BASES l

3/4.6.1 CONTAINMENT (Continued) 3/4. 6.1. 2 CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE (Continued)

The surveillance testing for measuring laakage rates is consistent with the requirements of Appendix J to 10 CFR 50 with the exception of exemptions granted for testing the airlocks af ter each opening.

3/4.6.1.3 CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS  ;

The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment air locks j are required to meet the restrictions on PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and <

the containment leakage rate given in Specifications 3.6.1.1 and 3.6.1.2. i The specification makes allowances for the fact that there may be long periods l of time when the air locks will be in a closed and secured position during l reactor operation. Only one closed door in each air lock is r uire to ain-tain the integrity of the containment.

  • pg The air supply to the containment air lock and seal system is the service J and instrument air system. The system consists of two 100% capacity air '

compressors per unit and can be cross-connected. This system is redundant and extremely reliable and provides system pressure indication in the control room. '

3/4.6.1.4 MSIV LEAKAGE CONTROL SYSTEM Calculated doses resulting from the maximum leakage allowance for the main steam line isolation valves in the postulated LOCA situations would be '

a small fraction of the 10 CFR 100 guidelines, provided the main steam line system from the isolation valves up to and including the turbine condenser

, remains intact. Operating experience has indicated that degradedon has I

occasionally occurred in the leak tightness of the MSIV's such that the specified leakage requirements have not always been maintained continuously.

The requirement for the leakage control system will reduce the untreated leakage from the MSIV's when isolation of the primary system and containment l -is required.

3/4.6.1.5 CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural. integrity of the containment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the unit. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the contairunent l will withstand the maximum pressure of 15 psig in the event of a LOCA. A visual inspection in conjunction with Type A leakage tests is sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

Insert D An allovance has been provided for access into or through the containment air locks when one air lock door in one or both air locks is inoperable for a cumulative period not to exceed one hour per year for each air lock. Use of the allowance provides for access through an OPERABLE air lock door for the following types of activities: repair of the inoperable doort personnel safety; and required operational / maintenance / surveillance activities necessary to ensure safe plant operations.

An allowance has also been provided for access into or through the containment airlocks when an interlock mechanism in one or both airlocks is inoperable.

When the interlock mechanism is inoperable, use of the airlock is permitted without having to lock one of the doors provided that an individual is stationed at the airlock, dedicated to assuring that at least one OPERABLE i airlock door remains closed at all times. This allowance is provided l primarily for personnel safety reasons, since locked doors vould at times compromise personnel safety because they may not be able to exit the '

containment during an accident, or other personnel may not be able to enter containment to aid injured workers, depending on which side of the door the lock was placed on.
