Quad Cities Station Units 1 and 2 Secondary Containment Capability Summary Technical Report NRC Docket Nos. 50-254 and 50-265

Dear Mr. Keppler:

Attached in accordance with Section 6.6.C.3 and Table 6.6-1, Area A of Appendix A to DPR-29 and DPR-30, is a summary of the Secondary Containment Leak Rate Test performed for the Quad Cities Station Units 1 and 2 Reactor Building on March 6, 1985.

This test was performed in accordance with Section 4.7.C.l.C of the Quad Cities Station Units 1 and 2 Technical Specifications and the results were within the Technical Specification requirements.

If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please contact this office.

Very truly yours, l

nits 1 and 2 Secondary Containment Leak Rate Test Summary

- Introduction J.

Prior to the Unit.Two Cycle Seven Refueling Outage, a Secondary Containment Leak Rate Test'was performed on the combined volume of Unit One T'

. and-Unit-Two-Secondary Containment. Building. The test was performed to

_ demonstrate the ability of-the Standby : Gas. Treatment System (SBGTS) to

maintain a one-fourth inch of water vacuum in both Reactor Buildings

. simultaneously with a filter train flow rate of not more than 4000 cfm.

- The test was ' conducted with ~a local flow indication of 4000 cfm.

4 Secondary Containment Capability Test

.The: test was' initiated with 1/2

'A' SBGTS train in primary by

simulating' a "HI" ' radiation signal in the Unit One or Unit Two Reactor Building ventilation monitors. Insis action isolated the ventilation systems, stopping all supply and exhaust fans, and sta'rted the 1/2

'A' SBGTS train.~ When equilibrium conditions were reached, differential

. pressure readings were taken.- Data was.taken'at the~ conclusion of the-test following shutdown of the :SBGTS and allowing.the building to come to equilibrium with the environs.

4 Test Results Data on wind speed, wind direction, building inside and outside s

temperatures,-and differential building pressures were obtained for a SBCTS flow rate of approximately 4000 cfm on the 1/2 'A' filter train.

The test was conducted at near 'zero wind conditions; therefore, no wind corrections were. required.

- Test Results Corrected to Zero Wind Conditions Filter Train:: 1/2

The results of the test indicate that the SBGTS is' capable of maintaining

- one-fourth ' inch of water. vacuum under the calm wind conditions with a filter

. train flow rate of no more than 4000 cfm. Average building differential pressure for the train results in -0.259 inches of water, indicating

. adequate performance of the Secondary Containment and Standby Gas Treat-ment System.
