3/4.6.5 SECONDARY CONTAllMENT (Continued)

(

The field tests for bypass leakage across the SGTS charcoal adsorber and j

HEPA filter banks are performed at a flow rate of 3000 10% cfm. This flow l

rate corresponds to the maximum overall three zone inleakage rate of 3264 cfs.

The SGTS filter train pressure drop is a function of air flow rate and i

filter conditions.

Surveillance testing is performed using either the SGTS or drywell purge fans to provide operating convenience.

4 d

Each reactor enclosure secondary containment zone and refueling area i

secondary containment zone is tested independently to verify the design leak l

tightness. A design leak tightness of 1250 cfm or less for each reactor enclosure and 764 cfm or less for the refueling area at a 0.25 inch of vacuum water gage will ensure that containment integrity is maintained at an acceptable level if all zones are connected to the SGTS at the same time.

The Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment Automatic Isolation Valves and Refueling Area Secondary Containment Automatic Isolation Valves can be found in the UFSAR.

The post-LOCA offsite dose analysis assumes a reactor enclosure secondary containment post-draw down leakage rate of 1250 cfm and certain post-accident X/Q values. While the post-accident X/Q values represent a statistical inter-pretation of historical meteorological data, the highest ground level wind speed which can be associated with these values is 7 mph (Pasquill-Gifford stability Class G for a ground level release). Therefore, the surveillance requirement assures that the reactor enclosure secondary containment is verified under meteorological conditions consistent with the assumptions utilized in the design basis analysis. Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment leakage tests that are successfully performed at wind speeds in excess of 7 mph would also satisfy the leak rate surveillance requirements, since it shows compliance with more conservative test conditions.

3/4.6.6 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT ATMOSPHERE CONTROL The OPERABILITY of the systems required for the detection and control of hydrogen combustible mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen ensures that these systems will be available to maintain the hydrogen concentration within the primary containment below the lower flammability limit during post-LOCA conditions.

The primary containment hydrogen recombiner is provided to maintain the oxygen concentration below the lower flammability limit. The combustible gas analyzer is provided to continuously monitor, both during nomal operations and post-LOCA, the hydrogen and oxygen concentrations in the primary containment. The primary containment atmospheric mixing system is provided to ensure adequate mixing of the containment atmosphere to prevent localized accumulations of hydrogen and oxygen from exceeding the lower flammability limit. The hydrogen control system is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.7, " Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment Following a LOCA," March 1971.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES f

SECONDARY CONTAIMENT (Continued) i The SGTS fans are sized for three zones and therefore, when aligned to a single zone or two zones, will have excess capacity to more quickly drawdown the affected zones. There is no maximum flow limit to individual zones or pairs of zones and the air balance and drawdown time are verified when all three zones are connected to the SGTS.

The three zone air balance verification and drawdown test will be done after any major system alteration, which is any modificatia which will have an effect on the SGTS flowrate such that the ability of the WTS to drawdown the reactor enclosure to greater than or equal to 0.25 inch of vaam water gage in less than or equal to 126 seconds could be affected.

The field tests for bypass leakage across the SGTS charcoal adsorber and HEPA filter banks are performed at a flow rate of 3000 t 10% cfm. This flow rate corresponds to the maximum overall three zone inleakage rate of 3264 cfa.

1 The SGTS filter train pressure drop is a function of air flow rate and filter conditions.

4 tightness. A design leak tightness of 1250 cfm or less for each reactor enclosure and 764 cfm or less for the refueling area at a 0.25 inch of vacuum water gage will ensure that containment integrity is maintained at an acceptable level if all zones are connected to the SGTS at the same time.

The Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment Automatic Isolation Valves and Refueling Area Secondary Containment Automatic Isolation Valves can be found in the UFSAR.

The post-LOCA offsite dose analysis assumes a reactor enclosure secondary containment post-draw down leakage rate of 1250 cfm and certain post-accident X/Q values. While the post-accident X/Q values represent a statistical inter-pretation of historical meteorological data, the highest ground level wind speed which can be associated with these values is 7 mph (Pasquill-Gifford stability Class G for a ground level release). Therefore, the surveillance requirement assures that the reactor enclosure secondary containment is verified under meteorological conditions consistent with the assumptions. utilized in the design basis analysis. Reactor Enclosure Secondary Containment leakage tests that are successfully performed at wind speeds in excess of 7 mph would also satisfy the leak rate surveillance requirements, since it shows compliance with more conservative test conditions.
