c.

The accuracy of each Type A test shall be verified by a supplemental test which:

1)

Confirms the accuracy of the test by verifying that the supplemental test result, L, minus the sum of the Type A and the superimposed leak, L, Is equal to or less than 0.25 L, or 0.25 L,;

2)

Has a duration sufficient to stablish accurately the change in leakage rate between the Type A test and the supplemental test; and 3)

Requires that the rate at which gas is injected into the con-tainment or bled from the containment during the supplemental test is between 0.75 L, and 1.25 L,.

d.

Type B and C tests shall be conducted with gas at a pressure not less than P, 44.4 psig, at intervals no greater than 24 months except for testslnvolving:
