CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES

==================================================================

3/4.6.1.4 INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that:

1) the containment structure is prevented from exceeding its design negative pressure differential with respect to the outside atmosphere of 3.5 psig and 2) the containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of 47 psig during the limiting pipe break conditions. The pipe breaks considered are LOCA and steam line breaks.

The limit of 0.3 psig for initial positive containment pressure ir consistent with the accident analyses initial conditions.

The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA or steam line break event is s 47 psig.

3/4.C.1.5 AIR TEMPERATURE The limitations on containment average air temperature ensure that the overall containment average air temperature does not exceed the initial temperature condition assumed in the accident analysis for a LOCA or steam line break.

In order to determine the containment average air temperature, an average is calculated using measurements taken at locations within containment selected to provide a representative sample of the overall containment atmosphere.

3/4.6.1.6 CONTAINMENT STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility.

Structural integrity is required to ensure that the containment will withstand the design pressure.

The visual inspections of the concrete and liner and the Type A leakage test are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

3/4.6.1.4 INTERNAL PRESSURE The limitations on containment internal pressure ensure that:

1) the

containment structure is prevented from exceeding its design negative pressure differential with respect to the outside atmosphere of 3.5 psig, and 2) the i

containment peak pressure does not exceed the design pressure of 4i psig during the limiting pipe break conditions.

LOCA and steam line breaks.

The limit of 0.3 psig for initisl positive containment pressure is consistent with the accident analyses initial conditions.

The maximum peak pressure expected to be obtained from a LOCA or steam line break event is s 47 psig.

3/4.6.1.5 AIR TEMPERATURE The limitations on containment average air temperature ensure that the overall containment average air temperature does not exceed the initial temperature condition assumed in the accident analysis for a LOCA or steam line break.

Structural integrity is required to ensure that the containment will withstand the design pressure. The visual inspections of the concrete and liner and the Type A leakage test are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

3/4.6.1.7 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM The containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves are required to be closed during plant operation since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA.

Maintaining *.hese valves closed during plant operations ensures that excessive quantities of radioactive materials will not be released via the centainment purge system.
