APPLICABILITY: Whenever CONTAINMENT TN1TGRITY (Specification 4.2.1.1) is required.

ACTION:

With one or more of the above ventilation damper (s) inoperable, )

A.

suspend fuel handling or isolate the affected penetration with an automatic valve secured in its closed position, or with a blind flange, within I hour.

B. The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are not applicable if the affected penetration is isolated.

SITRVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 5.2.1.10.1 The ventilation dampers shall be demonstrated OPERABLE prior to ,

y returning the damper to service after maintenance, repair or replacement work l l

is performed on the damper or its associated actuator, control, or power circuit by performance of a cycling test, and verification of isolation time. l j

5.2.1.10.2 The isolation time of each above damper shall be determined to be l within its limit when tested quarterly. ,

5.2.1.10.3 The seat rings of the ventilation inlet and outlet dampers shall be replaced at least once per 5 years.

BASES The Nuclear Regulatory Commission requested that similar Technical Specifica-tions per Generic Item B-24 and NUREG 0737 Item II.E.4.2 be submitted to help assure operability of containment ventilation dampers. The ACTION statement has been modified due to the plant's permanent shutdown. DPC had previously committed to replace the containment ventilation inlet and outlet dampers' resilient sealing material at least once each 5 years until such time as additional in-situ data an be accumulated to justify a longer interval. If in-situ data is accumulated which supports a longer seal replacement inter-vals, a change to Specification 5.2.1.10.3 may be requested. Specification 3.0.4 is not applicable if the affected penetration is isolated since the safety function of the dampers is to close.

J (b) Type C Tests: Containment isolation valve leak detection testing shall be conducted at a pressure of 52 psig. 1 (c) Acceptanen criteria: The combined leakage rate for all  :

penetrations and valves subject to Type B and C tests shall be less than 60  !

percent of the design leak rate of 0.1 percent per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of the Containment Building volume, i

(d) Corrective Actions: Leaks which cause the acceptance criteria of (c) to be exceeded shall be repaired and retested until the criteria is met, l Repairs of lesser leaks are optional. l 1

(e) Test Trequency: Type B tests (except for air locks and electrical 1 penetrations) shall be performed at intervals no greater than two years. Air locks shall be tested at 4-month intervals. The freight door shall be tested following each closure. Electrical penatrations shall be tested at intervals ng greater than one year. Type C tests shall be performed at inte-vals no dreater than two years.

5.2.1.6 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION ISOLATION VALVE LEAKAGE TESTS (a) Tests: The containment ventilation system dampers shall be subjected to leakage tests, in addition to the tests required by Section 5.2.1.2. The tests shall be conducted at an initial pressure of at least 52 peig.

(b) Acceptance Criteria: Excessive degradation is determined not to exist and the isolation valve (s) is considered operable if Pressure decreases by no greater than 10 psi in a ten minute test period.

(c) Corrective Action: If excessive degradation exists, the leakage path must be repaired or isolated, and retested until the criteria is set.

(d) Test Frequency: The leakage tests of the containment ventilation isolation dampers shall be conducted at least quarterly.

5.2.2 REACTOR BUILDING ISOLATION AND VACUyM RELIST VALVE OPERABILITY TESTS 5.2.2.1 The reactor building isolation system will be tested for proper operation at least once per 18 months. l 5.2.2.2 The reactor building vacuum relief valves will be tested for proper operation during each reactor shutdown for refueling but in no case at intervals greater than two years. j l
