REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES The surveillance requirements provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.

In order to reduce personnel radiation exposure. chemical decontamination of portions of the reactor coolant system may be performed during shutdown. During the chemical decontamination process. the injection of chemical solvents may cause the reactor coolant system conductivity and chloride measurements to increase above the limits. The solvents that are selected for use in performing the chemical decontamination proce.ss are selected and evaluated to ensure their chemical reactivity will not adversely impact components or the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system.

Because decontamination activities are performed at temperatures significantly less than normal operating temperatures, the chemical reactivity of these solvents will not increase the likelihood of stress corrosion occurring nor affect those stress corrosion cracks that may already be present.

3/4 4.5 SPECIFIC ACTIVITY The limitations on the specific activity of the primary coolant ensure that the 2-hour thyroid and whole body doses resulting from a main steam line failure outside the containment during steady state operation will not exceed small fractions of the dose guidelines in 10CFR 100. Permitting operation to continue for limited time periods with higher specific activity levels accommodates short-term iodine spikes which may be associated with power level

~ hanges, c and is based on the fact that a steam line failure during these short time periods is considerably less likely. Operation at the higher activity levels, therefore, is restricted to a small fraction of the unit's total operating time. The upper limit of coolant iodine concentration during short-term iodine spikes ensures that the thyroid dose fr m ~~ 4 will not exceed 10 CFR Part 100 dose guidelines.
