BACKGROUND The function of the SCIDs, in combination with other )

accident mitigation systems, is to limit fission product  !

i release during and following postulated Design Basis l

, Accidents (DBAs) (Ref. 1). Secondary containment isolation l l

within the time limits specified for those isolation dampers designed to close automatically ensures that fission l products that leak from primary containment following a DBA, that are released during certain operations when primary containment is not required to be OPERA 8LE, or that take i place outside primary containment, are maintained within the secondary containment boundary. l l

The OPERABILITY requirements for SCIDs help ensure that an

adequate secondary containment boundary is maintained during j and after an accident by minimizing potential paths to the i environment. Isolation barrier (s) for the penetration are discussed in Reference ?.. The isolation devices addressed by this LCO are either passive or active (automatic).

1 Manual dampers, de-activated automatic dampers secured in their closed position, check dampers with flow through the

- damper secured, and blind flanges are considered passive i devices. Check dampers and other automatic dampers designed to close without operator action following an accident are 4

considered active devices.

I Automatic SCIDs close on a secondary containment isolation

signal to establish a boundary for untreated radioactive i

material within secondary containment following a DBA or 1 other accidents.

! Other penetrations are isolated by the use of dampers or

valves in the closed position g inp fla p j M APPLICABLE The SCIDs must be OPERABLE to ensure the secondary SAFETY ANALYSES containment barrier.to fission product releases is established. The principal accidents for which the set

andary containment boundary is required are a loss of coolant accident (Ref.1) and a fuel handling accident in the fuel building (Ref. 3). The secondary containment perfoms no active function in response to each of these (continued)

APPLICABILITY In MODES 1, 2, and 3, a DBA could lead to a fission product release to the primary containment that leaks to the secondary containment. Therefore, OPERA 81LITY of SCIDs is required.

In MODES 4 and 5, the probability and consequences of these events are reduced due to pressure and temperature limitations in these MODES. Therefore, maintaining SCIDs OPERA 8LE is not required in MODE 4 or 5, except for other situations under which significant releases of radioactive material can be postulated, such as during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. Moving irradiated fuel assemblies in the Primary Containment is addressed adequately in LCO 3.6.1.10. " Primary Containment 4 hutdown."
