LE AK DETECTIQI SYSTEM This system is primarily based on monitoring leakage flows to an equipment drain sump and a floor drain sump. The rate at which the water-levels in the sumps change can accurately measure primary system leakages.

This is the only quantitstive leak detection system available at Monticello.

We will require the applicant to provide a system, at least equal to that to be provided in Dresden 2/3, within one year after Monticello Unit 1 commences operation. Operation in the interim with only the system presently installed is acceptable.

/

The identified leakage limit of 25 spm and the unidentified leakage limit of 5 gpm prasented in the Draf t Technical Specifications are acceptable to us. The applicant will shut down within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> if either limit is exceeded.

REACTOR VESSEL MATERIAL SURVEILLANCE PPDCRAM The estimated end-of-life fluence at the vessel is 5.4 x 10 nyt. We consider the proposed program adequate for the estimated fluence even if the estimate proves low by about a factor of 2.0

INSERVICE INSPECTION The applicant has proposed a preservice base line inspection following l the Draf t ASME Code for Inservice Inspection of Nuclear Reactor Coolant i l

Systems (N-45 Committee) as closely as possible. We are presently developing l

i i the inservice inspection requirements for the Technical Specifications. We j intend to implement an inservice inspection program at Monticello Nuclear i

! Generating Plant Unit 1 equivalent to that at Dresden 2 and 3. The program i

i will include main steam lines and fluid carrying emergency safety features as well as the primary coolant system.
