1 o
CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1.5 PRIMARY CONTAllMENT STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the cantainment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the unit. Structural integrity is required to ensure that the cor.tainment will i
withstand the maximum calculated pressure in the event of a LOCA. A visual inspection in conjunction with Type A leakage tests is sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
3/4.6.1.6 DRYWELL AND SUPPRESSION CHAMBER INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on drywell and suppression chamber internal pressure ensure that the calculated containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of 55 psig during LOCA conditions or that the external pressure differ-ential does not exceed the design maximum external pressure differential of 5.0 psid. The limit of - 1.0 to + 2.0 psig for initial containment pressure will limit the total pressure to s 44 psig which is less than the design pressure and is consistent with the safety analysis.
3/4.6.1.7 DRYWELL AVERAGE AIR TEMPERATURE The limitation on drywell average air temperature ensures that the con-tainment peak air temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 340'F during steam line break conditions and is consistent with the safety analysis.
3/4.6.1.8 DRYWELL AND SUPPRESSION CHAMBER PURGE SYSTEM The drywell and suppression chamber purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are required to be closed during plant operation except as required for
'inerting, deinerting and pressure control. The 180 hours0.00208 days <br />0.05 hours <br />2.97619e-4 weeks <br />6.849e-5 months <br /> per 365 day limit on l
purge valve operation is imposed to protect the integrity of the SGTS filters.
Analysis indicates that should a LOCA occur while this pathway is being utilized, the associated pressure surge through the (18 or 24") purge lines will adversely affect the integrity of SGTS. This limit is not imposed, however, on the subject valves when pressure control is being performed through the 2-inch bypass line, since a pressure surge through this line does not threaten the OPERABILITY of SGTS.
