3.0.B Emergency Air Treatment System ;

The in-containment air treatment system is designed to filter the contai:went building atmosphere during accident conditions. Both in-containment air treatment systems are designed to automatically start upon

.Q accident signals. Should one system fail to start, the redundant system is designed to start automatically.

j Each of the two systems has 100 percent capacity. The fuel handling air treatment system is designed to filter the refueling building atmosphere to the facility vent during refueling conditions. If the fuel .

handling air treatment system is on standby, the system is designed to filter the refueling building atmosphere to the facility veht during refueling accident conditions and is automatically started upon @

high radiation signal. Upon initiation isolation valves in the ventilation system must close to .

allow air flow through the air treatment system. If these valves do not close tightly, excessive bypass leakage could occur to negate the usefulness of the HEPA filters and~ charcoal adsorbers to.

reduce potential radiciodine releases to the atmosphere. Therefore, the bypass leakage for the total system has been limited to 1 percent. ,

High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are installed before the charcoal adsorbers to prevent clogging of the iodine adsorbers for all emergency air treatment systems. The charcoal adsorbers are installed to reduce the potential release of radiciodine to the environment. The in-place test results should indicate a system leak tightness of less than 1 percent bypass leakage for the charcoal adsorbers ar.d a HEPA efficiency of at least 99 percent removal of D0P particulates.

The laboratory carbon sample test results should indicate a radioactive methyl iodide removal efficiency.

i g~ of at least 90 percent on the fuel handling system sample and at least 85 percent on the in-contain-

! ment system samples for expected accident conditions. If the efficiencies of the llEPA filters and

! charcoal adsorbers are as specified, the resulting doses will be less than the 10 CFR 100 guidelines C~

l for the accidents analyzed. Operation of the fans significantly different from t.he design flow will l change the removal efficiency of the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers.

i Only one of the two in-containment air treatment systems is needed to cleanup the containment building atmosphere during accident conditions. If one system is found to be inoperable, there is not an immediate threat to the containment system performance and reactor operation may continue while repairs are being made. If neither circuit is operable, the plant is brought to a condition where the in-containment air treatment system would not be required. If the fuel handling air treatment system is found to be inoperable, all fuel handling and fuel movement operations will be teminated until the system is made operable. .

Pressure drop across the combined HEPA filters and charcoal adsorbers of less,than 6 inches of rater at the system design flow rate will indicate that the filters and adsorbers are not clogged by excessive amounts .of foreign matter. Pressure drop and air distribution should be determined at least once per .

operating cycle to show system performance capability.

The frequency of tests and sample analysis are necessary to show that the HEPA filters and charcoal

adsorbers can perform as evaluated. Tests of the charcoal adsorbers with -halogenated hydrocarbon Iodine removal efficiency ANSI Ns10.

refrigerant shall be performed in accordance withThe charcoal adsorber efficiency test procedures should tests shall follow RDT Standard M-16-lT.

allow for the removal of one adsorber tray, emptying of one bed from the tray, mixing the adsorbent Each sample should be at least two inches in diameter thoroughly and obtaining at least two samples. If test results are unacceptable, all adsorbent in and a length equal to the thickness of the bed.

the system shall be replaced with an adsorbent qualified according to Table- 1 of Regulatory Guide 1.52.

The replacement tray for the adsorber tray removed for the test should meet the same adsorbent quality.

Tests of the HEPA filters with DOP aerosol shall be performed in accordance to ANSI- N510 Any llEPA filters found defective shall be replaced with filters qualified pursuant to Regulatory Position C.3.d of Regulatory Guide 1.520 Operation of the emergency air treatment system cach month for at least ten (10) hours will demonstrate

~

operability of the filters and adsorber system and remove excessive moisture built up on the adsorber.

With the fuel handling standby air treatment system operating, DOP aerosol be adnitted at the refueling,'

building ventilation system intake. Detection of more than 1 percent 00P at the inlet to the facility!

vent shall be considered an unacceptable test result and the isolation valves repaired to prevent

~

bypass leakage and test repeated.

If painting, fire or chemical release occurs such that the HEPA filter or charcoa'l adsorber could become contaminated from the fumes, chemicals or foreign material, the same tests and sample shall analysis shall be' performed as required for operational use. The determination Knowledgeable staff members should be cade by the operator on duty at the time of the incident.
