(BSEP-1-31) 3/4.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES-3/4.6.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT

~

3/4.6.1.1 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY Primary CONTAINNENT 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 accident analyses. This restriction, in conjunction with the leakage rate limitation, will limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CF" Part 100 during accident conditions.

3/4.6.1.2 PRIMARY CONTAINMENT LEAKAGE The limitations on primary containment leakage rates ensure that the

-total containment Icakage volume will not exceed the value e.ssumed in the accident analyses at the peak accident pressure of 49 psig, P. As an added a

conservatism, the measured overall integrated leakage rate is further limitedv

.to less than or equal to 0.75 L, or 0.75 L, as applicable, during performance e

of the periodic tests to account for possible degradation of the containment leakage barriers between leakage tests.

Operating experience with the main steam line isolation valves has indicated that degradation has occasionally occurred in the leak tightness c_

the. valves; therefore, the special requirement for testing these valves.

9 -

The surveillance testing for measuring leakage ratea is consistent i.

with the requirements of Appendix "J" of 10 CFR Part 50 with the exception of

. exemptions granted for main steam isolation valve leak testing and testing the airlocks after each opening.

3/4.6.I PRIMARY CONTAINMENT AIR LOCKS The limitations on-closure and leak rate for the containment air locks are required to meet the restrictions on PRIMARY CONTAINMENT INTEGRITY and the-primary containment leakage rate given in Specifications 3.6.1.1 and 3.6.1.2.

The specification makes allowances for the fact that there may be long periods of time when the air locks will be in a closed and secured position during reactor operation.- Only one closed door in each air lock is required to maintain the integrity of the containment.
