Ni TS 4.4-1 4.4 CONTAINMENT TESTS Applicability Applies to containment leakage testing.

Objective l

l To assure that leakage of the primary reactor containment and associated systems is held within allowable leakage rate limits; and to assure that periodic surveillance is performed to assure proper maintenance and leak repair during the service life of the containment.

Specification A. Periodic and post-operational integrated leakage rate tests of the containment shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J," Reactor Containment Leakage Testing for Water Cooled Power Reactors."

B. Containment Leakage Rate Testing Requirements

1. The containment and containment penetrations leakage rate shall be demonstrated by performing leakage rate testing as required by 10 CFR 50 Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions, and in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, dated September,1995. Leakage rate

{

acceptance criteria are as follows:

An overall integrated leakage rate ofless than or equal to La,0.1 percent by a.

weight of containment air per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, at calculated peak pressure (Pa).

b.

A combined leakage rate of less than or equal to 0.60 La for all penetrations and valves subject to Type B and C testing when pressurized to Pa.

Prior to entering an operating condition where containment integrity is required the as-left Type A leakage rate shall not exceed 0.75 La and the combined leakage rate i

of all penetrations subject to Type B and C testing shall not exceed 0.6 La.

2. The provisions of Specification 4.0.2 are not applicable.

Basis The leak tightness testing of all liner welds was performed during construction by welding a structural steel test channel over each weld seam and performing soap bubble and halogen leak tests.

4 TS 4.4 2 I

The containment is designed for a maximum pressure of 45 psig. The containment is maintained at a subatmospheric air partial pressure consistent with TS Figure 3.8-1 depending upon the cooldown capability of the Engineered Safeguards and will not rise above 45 psig for any postulated loss-of-coolant accident.

The initial test pressure for the Type A test is 47.0 psig to allow for containment expansion and equalization. A review was performed to determine the effects of 4

pressurizing containment above its design pressure of 45.0 psig. This review was based on the original containment test at 52 psig. During that test, the calculated stresses were

.found to be well within the allowable yield strength of the structural reinforcing bars, therefore performance of the Type A test at 47 psig will have no detrimental effect on the containment structure.

All loss-of-coolant accident evaluations have been based on an integrated containment i

leakage rate not to exceed 0.1% of containment volume per 24 hr.

The above specification satisfies the conditions of 10 CFR 50.54(o) which stated that primary reactor containments shall meet the containment leakage te:t requirements set forth in Appendix J.

The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment airlocks are required to meet the restrictions on containment integrity and containment leak rate. Surveillance testing of the airlock seals provides assurance that the overall airlock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between airlock leakage tests.

C. Special Reoorts In the event that the Reactor Vessel Overpressure Mitigating System is used to mitigate a RCS pressure transient, submit a Special Report to the Commission within 30 days.

necessary to prevent recurrence.
