ACTION:

With either (a) the measured overall integrated containment leakage rate exceeding 0.75 La, or (b) with the measured combined leakage rate for all penetrations and valves subject to Types B and C tests exceeding 0.60 La, restore the leakage rate (s) to within the limit (s) prior to increasing the Reactor Coolant System temperature above 200*F.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.6.1.2 The containment leakage rates shall be demonstrated as follows:

a.

Type A tests shall be in accordance with 10CFR 50.54 (0) in conformance with Appendix J of 10CFR 50, Option B, using the mechods and provisions of Regulatory Guide 1.163, September 1995 as modified by approved exemptions.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.6.1.6.1 Containment surfaces The structural integrity of the exposed accessible interior and exterior surfaces of the containment, including the liner plate, shall be determined by a visual inspect;on of these.urfaces.

This inspection shall be performed prior to the Type A containment leakage rate test (reference Specification 4.6.1.2) to verily no apparent changes in appearance or other abnormal degradation. If che Type A test is performed at i

10 year intervals, two additional inspections shall be performed at appr:ximately equal intervals during shutdowns between Type A tests.

4.6.1.6.2 Reports Any abnormal degradation of the containment structure detected during the above required inspections shall be evaluated for reportability pursuant to 10CFR50.72 and 10CFR50.73.

The evaluation shall be documented and shall include a description of the condition of the concrete, the inspection procedure, the tolerances on cracking, and the corrective action taken.
