The maximum allowable test leak rate at the peak accident pressure of 44 psig (ba) is 0.80 weight % per day. The maximum allowable test leak rate at the retest pressure of 24 psig (Lt) has been conservatively determired to be 0.59 weight percent per day. This value will be verified to be conservative by actual primary containment leak rate measurements at both 44 psig and'24 psig upon completion of the containment structure.

As most loakage and deterioration of integrity is expected to occur through penetrations, especially those with resilient seals, a periodic leak rate test program of such penetration is conducted at the peak ac ident pressure of 44 psig to insure not only that the leakage remaint acceptably low but also that the sealir.g materials can withstand the accident pressure. .
g The eak ate esting rogram is based onlA96 ad de[in /a for 4 b*9"9bu"*md development of leak rate testing and surveillance schedules fo APPax/DSX$
reactor containment vessels.
Surveillance of the suppression Chamber-Reactor Building vacuum breakers consists of operability checks and leakage tests (conducted as part of the containment leak-tightness tests). These vacuum breakers are normally in the closed position and open only during tests or an accident condition. Operability testing is performed in conjunction with Specification 4.6.E. Inspections and calibrations are performed during the refueling outages; this f requency being based on equipment quality, experience, and engineering judgment.
The ten (10) drywell-suppression vacuum relief valves are designed to open to the full open position (the position that curtain area is equivalent to valve bore) with a force equivalent to a 0.5 psi differential acting on the suppression chamber face of the valve disk. This opening specification assures that the design limit of 2.0 paid between the drywell and external environment is not exceeded. Once each refueling outage each valve is tested to assure that it will open fully in response to a force less than that specified. Also it is inspected to assure that it closes freely and operates properly.
The containment design has been examined to establish the allowab1q bypass area between the drywell and suppression chamber as 0.12 ft'.
This is equivalent to one vacuum breaker open by three-eighths of an inch (3/8') as measured at all points around the circumference of the disk or three-fourths of an inch (3/4') as measured at the bottom of the disk when the top of the disk is on the seat. Since these valves open in a manner that is purely neither mode, a conservative allowance of one-half inch (1/2*) has been selected as the maximum permissible valve opening. Assuming that permissible valve opening could be evenly divided among all ten vacuum breakers at once, valve open position assumed to indication for an individual valve must be activated less than fifty-thousandths of an inch (0.050') at all points along the seal surface of the disk. Valve closure within this limit may be determined by light indication from two independent position detection and indication systems. Either system provides a control room alarm for a nonseated valve.

6.15 Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Procram A program shall be established to implement the leak rate testing of the primary containment as required by 10CFR50.54(o) and 10CFR50, Appendix J, Option B as modified by approved exemptions.
This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, entitled " Performance Based Containment Leak-Test Program," dated September 1995.
The peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident, Pa, is-44 psig.
The maximum allowable primary containment leak rate, La, at Pa, shall be 0.8% of primary containment air weight per day.
Leak rate acceptance criteria are:
- 1. Primary containment leak rate acceptance criterion i 1.0 La.
- 2. The as-left primary containment integrated leak rate test (Type A test) acceptt.nce criterion is 1 0.75 La.
- 3. The combined local leak rate test (Type B and C tests) acceptance criterion is 1 0.60 La, calculated on a maximum pathway basis, prior to entering a mode of operation where containment integrity is required.
- 4. The combined local leak rate test (Type B and C tests) acceptance criterion is 1 0.60 La, calculated on a minimum pathway basis, at all times when primary containment integrity is required.
- 5. Airlock overall leak rate-acceptance criterion is 1 0.10 La when tested at > Pa.
The provision of the Definition (1.0.Y) for Surveillance Frequency does not apply to the test frequencica specified in the Primary Containment Leak Rate Testing Program.
