Amendment Nos. JS, $7, 93

  • Tha mini =um t:st pr:ssura of' 27.5 psig fcr the periodic. integrated 1catagi rate test is sufficisntly high to provide an accurnta mensurement of the leaka'ge rate and it duplicates the pre-operations.1 leakage rate test at the reduced pressure. The specification provides e. relationship for relating the measured leakage of air at the reduced pressure to the potential leakage of 53 psis.

"'he minimum of 2h hours was rpecified fcr the integrated leakage rate test to help stabilite conditione and thus i=preve accuracy and to better evaluate data scatter. The frequency of the periodic inte5 rated leakage rate test is keyed to the rePaeling schedule for the reactor, because t.hese tests can best be perfcrmed during refueling' shutdowns.

The specified frequency of periodic integrated leakage rate tests is based on three major considerations. First is the low probability of leaks in the liner, because of conformance of the complete containment to a 0.10 percent leakage rate at 55 psig during pre-operational testing and the absence of any significant stresses in the liner during reactor operation.

Second is the more' frequent testing, at design pressure, of those portions cf the containment envelope that are most likely to develop leaks during reactor operation, and the low value (0.06 percent) of leakage that is specified as acceptable from penetrations and isolation valves. Third is the tendon stress surveillance program which provides assurance that an important part of the structural integrity of the containment is maintcined.

More frequent testing of various penetrations is specified as these locations are more susceptible to leakage than the reactor building liner due to the mechanical closure involved. The basis for specifying a total leakage rate of 0.06 percent from those penetrations and isolation valves is that more than one-half of the allowable integrated leakage rate vill be from these sources.
