INSERT B 6.19 Contamment Leakage Rate Testing Program A program shall be established to implement the leakage testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54 (o) and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions. This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, " Performance-Based Contamment Leak-Test Program," dated September 1995, as modified by approved exceptions.
The peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss-of-coolant accident, P.a is 49.4 psig. The containment design pressure is 50 psig.
The maximum allowable containment leakage rate, L, shall be 0.20 percent of containment air a

a Containment leakage rate acceptance criterion is s 1.0 L. During the first unit startup following a
testing in accordance with this program, the leakage rate acceptance criteria is s 0.75 L for a
Type A tests.
The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 do not apply to the test frequencies specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
The provisions of Specification 4.0.3 are applicable to the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
i 3/4.6 CONTAIMENT SYSTEMS i
BASES 3/4.6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT 3/4.6.1.1 CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY In MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4, primary CONTAIMENT INTEGRITY ensures that the release of radioactive materials from the containment atmosphere will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the i
accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the SITE B0UNDARY radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR Part 100 during accident conditions.
In MODES 5 and 6, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced because of the Reactor Coolant System (RCS) pressure and temperature limitations of these modes, by preventing operations which could lead to a need for containment isolation, and by providing containment isolation through penetration closure.

3/4.6.1.3 Containment Air Locks The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment air locks are required to meet the restrictions on CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and containment leak rate. Surveillance testing of.the air lock seals provides assurance that the overall air lock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between air lock leakage tests.

.i INSERT C 3/4.6.1.2 Containment Leakane Maintaining the containment OPERABLE requires compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program for Type A tests, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option A for Type B and C tests. As-left leakage prior to the first startup after performing a required leakage test is required to be s 0.75 L. for overall Type A leakage. At all other times between required leakage rate tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of s 1.0 L.. At s 1.0 L the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis. 'Ihe frequency of Type A testmg is specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
'Ihe surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B for Type A tests. For Type B and C testing, the allowable leakage rate has been proportionately reduced, as recommended in Generic Letter 91-04, to account for an extended surveillance schedule of 24 months + 25% (per Specification 4.0.2).
This is an exception from 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J.

i 3/4.6.1.4 Internal Pressure t
i The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that 1) the containment structure is prevented from exceeding it design negative i
pressure differential with respect to the outside atmosphere of 3.0 psig and 2) the containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of l
50 psig during LOCA or steam line break conditions.
4
]
The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA event is 47.6 l
psig assuming an initial containment pressure of 14.7 psia. The limit of 1.8 psig for initial positive containment pressure will limit the total pressure to 49.4 psig which is less than the design pressure and is
?
consistent with the accident analyses. The maximum peak pressure expected 4
to be obtained from a steam line break event is 49.2 psig assuming an initial containment pressure of 16.5 psia (1.8 psig).
3/4.6.1.5 Air Temocrature j
The limitation on containment average air temperature ensures that the containment peak air temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 4
276 F during LOCA conditions. The containment temperature limit is 1
consistent with the accident analyses.
f 3/4.6.1.6 Containment Structural Intearity i
The limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment
{
will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life i
i of the facility. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the j
containment will withstand the maximum pressure of 47.6 psig in the event 1
of a LOCA. The measurement of containment tendon lift off force, the i
visual and metallurgical examination of tendons, anchorages and liner and the Type A leakage tests are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
I The surveillance requirements for demonstrating the containment's structural integrity are consistent with the intent of the reconmendations of Regulatory Guide 1.-35 " Inservice Surveillance of Ungrouted Tendons in j
Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures". January 1976.
The end anchorage concrete exterior surfaces are checked visually for indications of abnormal material behavior during tendon surveillance.
Inspections of pre-selected concrete crack patterns are perfomed during the Type A containment leakage rate tests, consistent with the Structural Integrity Test.,

Surveillance testing of the air lock seals provides assurance that the overall air lock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between air lock leakage tests.

INSERT C 3/4.6.1.2 Containment Leakane Maintaining the containment OPERABLE requires compliance with the visual examinations and leakage rate test requirements of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program for Type A tests, and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option A for Type B and C tests. As-left leakage prior to the first startup after performing a required leakage test is required to be s 0.75 L. for overall Type A leakage. At all other times between required leakage rate tests, the acceptance criteria is based on an overall Type A leakage limit of s 1.0 L.. At s 1.0 L. the offsite dose consequences are bounded by the assumptions of the safety analysis. 'Ihe frequency of Type A testing is specified in the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.
The surveillance testing for measuring leakage rates are consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J, Option B for Type A tests. For Type B and C testing, the allowable leakage rate has been proportionately reduced, as recommended in Generic Letter 91-04, to account for an extended surveillance schedule of 24 months + 25% (per Specification 4.0.2).
This is an exception from 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix J.

3/4.6 CONTAIlptENT SYSTEMS usEs 3/4.6.1.4 Internal Pressure The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that 1) the containment structure is prevented from exceeding it design negative pressure differential with respect to the outside atmosphere of 3.0 psig and 2) the containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of 50 psig during LOCA or steam line break conditions.
The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA event is 47.6 psig assuming an initial containment pressure of 14.7 psia. The limit of 1.8 psig for initial positive containment pressure will limit the total pressure to 49.4 psig which is less than the design pressure and is consistent with the accident analyses. The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a steam line break event is 49.2 psig assuming an initial containment pressure of 16.5 psia (1.8 psig).
3/4.6.1.5 Air Temocrature The limitation on containment average air temperature ensures that the containment peak air temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 276'F during LOCA conditions. The containment temperature limit is censistent with the accident analyses.
l 3/4.6.1.6 Containment Structural Intecrity The limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the containment will withstand the maximum pressure of 47.6 psig in the event of a LOCA. The measurement of containment tendon lift off force,-the visual and metallurgical examination of tendons, anchorages and liner and the Type A leakage tests are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
The surveillance requirements for demonstrating the containment's structural integrity are consistent with the intent of the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.35 " Inservice Surveillance of Ungrouted Tendons in Prestressed Concrete Containment Structures", January 1976.
The end anchorage concrete exterior surfaces are checked visually for indications of abnormal material behavior during tendon surveillance.
Inspections of pre-selected concrete crack patterns are performed during 3
the Type A containment leakage rate tests, consistent with the Structural Integrity Test.
