Surveillance Ranuirements A
Cumulative operation of the SLCRS with heaters operating for at least 10 continuous hours in a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters. The 31-day frequency was developed in consideration of the known reliability of fan motors and con-trols. This test is perfoimed on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS once per 31-days.
- b. c. e. and f These surveillances verify that the required SLCRS filter testing is performed in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2.
ANSI N510-1980 shall be used in place of ANSI N510-1975 referenced in Regulatory Guide 1.52, Revision 2.
The surveillances include testing HEPA filter performance, charcoal adsorber efficiency, system flow rate, and the physical properties of the activated charcoal (general. use and following specific operations).
d The automatic startup ensures that each SLCRS train responds properly.
l The REFUELING INTERVAL frequency is based on the need to perform this l
surveillance under the conditions that apsly during a plant outage' and the potential for an unplanned transient if tte surveillance was performed with l
the reactor at power. The surveillance verifies that the SLCRS starts on a SIS test signal.
It also includes the automatic functions to isolate the other ventilation systems that are not part of the safety-related postaccident l
operating configuration and to start up and to align the ventilation systems l
that flow through the secondary contziament to the accident condition.
The main steam valve building ventilation system isolates.
l l
Auxiliary building ventilation (normal) system isolates.
Charging pump / reactor plant component cooling water pump area cooling j
subsystem aligns and discharges to the auxiliary building filters and a filter fan starts.
Hydrogen recombiner ventilation system aligns to the postaccident j
configuration.
l The engineered safety features building ventilation system aligns to the l
postaccident configuration.
