i with a differential pressure of greater than one peig, the rate of change of i

the suppression chamber pressure must not exceed 0.25 inches of water per minute as measured over a lO-minute period, which corresponds to about j

0.09 lb/sec of containment air.

In the event the rate of change exceeds this value then the source of leakage will be identified and eliminated before power operation is resumed.

The water in the suppression chamber is used for cooling in the event of an accident; i.e.,

it is not used for normal operation; therefore, a daily check of the temperature and volume is adequate to assure that adequate heat removal capability is present.

The interior surfaces of the drywell and suppression chamber are coated as necessary to provide corrosion protection and to provide a more easily j

decontaminable surface. The surveillance inspection of the internal surfaces each operating cycle assures timely detection of corrosion. Dropping the torus water level to one foot below the normal operating level enables an inspection of the suppression chamber where problems would first begin to j

show.

1 The primary containment preoperational test pressures are based upon the calculated primary containment pressure response in the event of a LOCA.

The peak drywell pressure would be about 49 psig which would rapidly reduce to j

less than 30 psig within 20 seconde following the pipe break. Following the pipe break, the suppression chamber pressure rises to 27 peig within 25 seconds, equalizes with drywell pressure, and decays with the drywell pressure decay.

The design pressure of the drywell and suppression chamber is 56 psig. The design leak rate is 0.5-percent per day at the pressure of 56 psig. As pointed out above, the pressure response of the drywell and suppression chamber following an accident would be the same after about 25 seconds.

Based on the calculated containment pressure response discussed above, the primary containment preoperational test pressures were chosen. Also based on the primary containment pressure response and the fact that the drywell and suppression chamber function as a unit, the primary containment will be tested as a unit rather than the individual components separately.

The calculated radiological doses given in Section 14.9 of the FSAR were based on an assumed leakage rate of 0.635-percent at the maximum calculated pressure of 49.6 psig. The doses calculated by the NRC using this bases are 0.14 ram, whole body passing cloud, gamma do,se, and 15.0 rom, thyroid dose, which are respectively only 5 x 10 and 10 times the 10 CFR 100 reference doses.

Increasihg the assumed leakage rate at 49.6 psig to 2.0 percent as indicated in the specifications would increase these doses approximately a factor of three, still leaving a margin between the calculated dose and the 10 CFR 100 reference values.
