CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1.8 CONTAINMENT BUILDING VENTILATION AND PURGE SYSTEMS The 36-inch containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves have permanently installed blocking devices to restrict their opening to 50* during plant OPEr,A-TIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, and 3, since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing from the full open position during an accident.

Maintaining l

these valves blocked during plant operations ensures that excessive quantities of radioactive materials will not be released via the containment purge system.

To provide assurance that the 36-inch valves cannot be inadvertently fully opened, they are blocked in accordance with staff's recommendations accepted in SSER 5, paragraph 6.2.4.1.

The use of the containment purge lines is restricted to the 12-inch purge supply and exhaust isolation valves since, unlike the 36-inch valves, the 12-inch valves close during accident conditions and therefore the site boundary dose guidelines of 10 CFR Part 100 would not be exceeded in the event of an accident during purg-ing operations.

The design of the 12-inch purge supply and exhaust isolation valves meets the requirements of Branch Technical Position CSB 6-4, "Containment Purging During Nortnal Plant Operations."

The use of the 12-inch containment purge exhaust and supply lines shall be in accordance with the Clinton Power Station (CPS) "Interim Guidelines for Con-tainment Purge Operation" provided in Illinois Power (IP) Letter U-0731, dated September 10, 1980 These guidelines establish a stechanism for minimizing operation of this system as used only for purposes of reducing containment air-borne radioactivity and atmospheric control.

To support thece interim guidelines, a "Containment Access Management Program," in accordance with the referenced letter and IP Letter U-0716, dated June 29, 1985, is implemented to coordinate all access requirements, hereby minimizing containment occupancy times and thus minimizing the required operation of the 12-inch containment purge system.

This is in accordance with the staff's recommendations accepted in SSER 5, para-graph 6.2.4.1.

Once the 12-inch containment purge system is initiated, it will remain operating to support multiple daily containment access requirements in accordance with referenced guidelines.

Otherwise, the 12-inch containment purge exhaust and supply lines will be isolated.

Continuous containment purge using the 36-inch containment building ventilation system is limited to only OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 and 5.

Intermittent use of the 36-inch system during OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, and 3 is permitted only for the purpose of reducing airborne activity levels, or containment pressure, and atmosphere control (excluding temperature and humidity), and shall not ex-coed 500 hours0.00579 days <br />0.139 hours <br />8.267196e-4 weeks <br />1.9025e-4 months <br /> of use per 365 days.

Leakage integrity tests with a maximum allowable leakage rate for 36-inch supply and exhaust isolation valves will provide early indication of resilient material seal degradation and will allow the opportunity for repair before gross leakage l

failures develop.

The 0.60 La leaking limit should not be exceeded when the i

a CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.2.4 DRWELL STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the drywell will be maintained comparable to the original design specification for the life of the unit. A visual inspection in conjunction with Type A leakage tests is suffi-cient to demonstrate this capability.

3/4.6.2.5 DRWELL INTERNAL PRESSl?E The limitations on drywell-tr a.tainment differential pressure ensure that the drywell peak calculated pressure of 18.9 psig does not exceed the design pressure of 30.0 psig and that the containment peak pressure of 9.0 psig does not exceed the design pressure of 15.0 psig during steam line break conditions.

The maxi-mum external drywell pressure differential is limited to 0.2 psid, well below the pressure at which suppression pool water will be forced over the wier wall and into the drywell.

The limit of 1.0 psid for initial positive drywell to containment pressure will limit the drywell pressure Lo 18.9 psid which is less than the design pressure and is consistent with the safety analysis to limit drywell internal pressure.

3/4.6.2.6 DRWELL AVERAGE AIR TEMPERATURE The limitation on drywell average air temperature ensures that peak drywell temperature does not exceed the design temperature of 330 F during LOCA condi-tions and is consistent with the safety analysis.

3/4.6.2.7 DRWELL VENT AND PURGE The drywell purge system must be normally maintained closed to eliminate a potential challenge to containment structural integrity due to a steam bypass e

of the suppression pool.

Intermittent venting of the drywell is allowed for pressure control during OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2, and 3, but the cumulative time of venting is limited to 5 hours5.787037e-5 days <br />0.00139 hours <br />8.267196e-6 weeks <br />1.9025e-6 months <br /> per 365 days.

Venting of the drywell is prohibited when the 12-inch continuous containment purge system or the 36-inch containment building ventilation system supply or exhaust valves are open.

This eliminates any resultant direct leakage path from the drywell to I

the environment.

In OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 1, 2 and 3, the drywell isolation valves (IVQ002, IVQ003) have permanently installed blocking devices so as not to open more l

than 50'.

This assures that the valve would be able to close against drywell pressure buildup resulting from a LOCA.

Operation of th's drywell vent and purge 24-inch supply and exhaust valves during piant operational conditions 4 and 5 is unrestricted, and the cumulative time l

for vent and purge operation is unlimited.
