w BEEMELING OPERATIONS bases 3/4.9.9 CONTATNKENT PURGE AND EXHAUST ISOLATION SYSTEM Thw OPERABILITY of this system ensures that the containment vent and purge penetrations will be automatiaally isolated upon detection of high radiation levels within the containment. The OPERABILITY of this system is required to restrict the r61 ease of radioa:tive materini from the containment atmosphere to the environment.
3/4.9.10 and 3/4.9.11 WATER LEVEL - REACTOR VESSEL and STORAGE POOL The rostrictions cu minimum water level ensure that sufficient water depth is available to remove 99% of the assumed 10% iodine gap activity released from the rupture of an irradiated fuel assembly.
The minimum water depth is consistent with the assumptions of the accident analysis.
3/4.9.12 and 3/4.9.13 STORAGE POOL VENTILATION SYSTEM The limitations on the storage pool ventilteion system ensure that all radicactive material released itom an irradiated fuel assembly will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere. The OPERABILITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assumptions of the accident analyres.
The note regarding PRF electrical system OPERABILITY is provided for clarification to specification 3/4.9.13.
In MODES 5 and 6, the electrical power requiremsnts do not require considering a single failure coincident with a loss of all offsite or all onsite power. The design basis for electrical sources during refueling requires at least one offsite circuit through the 1E distribution system be operable and at least one of the emergency diesels be operable.. The electrical requirements of 3.8.1.2 meet the electrical sources OPERABILITY requirements for two independent PRF I
systems.
2/4.9.14 CONTAINMLNT PURGE EXHAUST FILTER The operability of the containment purge exhaust filter ensures that in the event of a fuel handling accident in the containmort the radioactive materials released are filtered and adsorbed prior to reach!ng the environment.
