WORK STATEMENT ADDENDUM i

4 Appendix J Requirements / Site Source Terms Draf t NUREG - 0773, " Reactor Accident Source Terms: Design and Siting Perspectives", dated March 1982, presents current information on reactor t

accidents that have been analyzed for various reactor designs, and develops a set of radioactive releases (source terms) in categories 1 though 5 which represent the spectrum of accidents.

i' Using release fractions to the containment which correspond to these source terms, except for those corresponding to an assumed containment f ailure (i.e.,

SST-1), in categories 1 through 5:

l A. Perform a sensitivity analysis in which the containment design leak rate is assumed to be 0.1%, 0.5%,1.0%,and 5.0% (wt.%/ day).

B. Determine the off-site risk, in terms of dose, to the public from each of these potential containment source terms, and C. Evaluate the desirability and practicality of establishing, expitettly in Appendix J, a single leakage limiting criterion for containment systems l

that would apply equally well to:

a Large, dry PWR containments, b Type I, II, and !!! BWR containments, c Ice condenser containments, and d Negative pressure containments, j

This analysis will provide a basis for judging whether the present Appendix J containment integrated leak rate test criteria are realistic in terms of their i

effect on public risk and operational costs, and should include the following:

1) Whether there is a correlation between leakage test values / test intervals j

and estimated actual leakage during intervals beween tests (based on LERs, j

as-foundtests,etc.).

i

2) Review the current 0.25L., safety margin to see whether it provides reasonable assurance that actual leakage does not exceed design value.
