CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.6.1.6 The structural integrity of the containment shall be maintained at a level consistent with the acceptance criteria in Specification 4.6.1.6.

APPLICABILITY:

MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4.

ACTION:

a.

With the containm nt structure exhibiting evidence of possible abnormal degradation per Specification 4.6.1.6.1, perform an engineering evaluation demonstrating the ability of the containment structure to continue to perform its design function.

If continued contaimnent integrity cannot be assured by engineering evaluation within 90 days of the surveillance test, be in COLD SHUTDOWN within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />.

The requirements of Specifica-tion 3.0.4 are not applicable.

b.

With the structural integrity of the containment not conforming at a level consistent with the acceptance criteria of Specification 4.6.1.6.2 or 4.6.1.6.3, restore structural integrity or complete an engineering evalua-tion that assures structural integrity prior to increasing Reactor Coolant System Temperature above 200?F.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS i

4.6.1.6.1 Containment Tendons.

The containment tendons' structural integrity shall be denonstrated at five year intervals. The tendons' structural integrity shall be demonstrated by:

a.

Detennining that for a representative sample of at least 9 tendons (3 dome, 3 vertical, and 3 hoop), each tendon has a normalized lift-off force equalling or exceeding its lower limit expected range for the time of the test (see Figures 4.6-1,

-2, and -3).

If the normalized lift-off force of any one tendon in a group lies between the lower limit expected range and the lower bound individual, an adjacent tendon on each side shall be checked for lift-off force.

If both of these tendons are found acceptable, the surveillance program may proceed considering the single deficiency as unique and acceptable.

If either of the adjacent, tendons is found unacceptable, it shall be considered as evidence of possible abnormal degradation of the containment structure.

In addition, more than one unacceptable tendon out of those selected for surveillance (from all three tendon groups) shall be considered as evidence of possible abnormal degrada-~

tion of the contaimnent structure.

If the normalized lift-off force of any single tendon lies below the lower bound individual, the occurrence should be considered as evidence of possible abnormal degradation of the containment structure.

CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 3/4 6-8 Amendment No. 86

l CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS j

I SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) l In addition, determining that the average of the normalized lift-off forces for each sample population (hoop, vertical, dome) is equal to or greater than the required average prestress level; 536 kips for hoop tendons, 622 kips for vertical tendons, and 555 kips for dome tendons (reference Figures 4.6-1,

-2, and -3).

If the average is below the required average prestress force, it shall be considered as evidence of possible abnormal degradation of the containment structure.

b.

Removing one wire from each of a dome, vertical and hoop tendon checked for lift off force, and determining over the entire length of the wire:

1 1..

The extent of corrosion, cracks, or other damage. The presence of abnormal corrosion, cracks or other damage shall be considered evidence of possible abnormal degradation of the containment structure.

2.

A minimum tensile strength value of 240 Ksi (guaranteed ultimate strength of the tendon material) for at least three wire samples (one from each end and one at mid-length) cut from each removed wire.

Failure of any one of the wire samples to meet.the minimum tensile strength test is evidence of possible abnormal degrada-l tion of the containment structure.

I c.

Perform a chemical analysis to detect changes in the chemical properties of the sheath filler grease.

Any unusual changes in physical appearance or chemical properties that could adversely affect the ability of the filler grease to adhere to the tendon wires or otherwise inhibit corro-sion shall be reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1.

4.6.1.6.2 End Anchorages and Adjacent Concrete Surfaces. The structural integrity of the end anchorages and adjacent concrete surfaces shall be demonstrated by j >ietermining through inspection that no apparent changes have occurred in the visual appearance of the end anchorage concrete exterior surfaces or the concrete crack patterns adjacent to the end anchorages.

Inspections of the concrete shall be performed during the Type A containment leakage rate tests (reference Specification 4.6.1.2) while the containment is at its maximum test pressure.

4.6.1.6.3 Liner Plate. The structural integrity of the containment liner plate shall be determined during the shutdown for each Type A containment leakage rate test (reference Specification 4.6.1.2) by a visual inspection of the plate and verifying no apparent changes in appearance or other abnormal degradation.

4.6.1.6.4 Report:. Any abnormal degradation of the containment structure detected during the above required tests and inspections shall be reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1.

This report shall include a description of the tendon condition, the condition of the concrete (especially at tendon anchorages),

the inspection procedures, the tolerances on cracking, and the corrective actions taken.
