RHODE ISLAND ATOMIC ENERGY COMMISSION DOCKET NO. 50-193 AMENDMENT TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE Amendment No. 16 ,
License No. R-95
- 1. The Nuclear Regulatory Comission (the Comission) has found that:
A. The application for amendment to Facility Operating License No. R-95 filed by Rhode Island Atomic Energy Comission (the licensee), dated August 5, 1988, complies with the standards and requirements of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended (the Act),
and the Commission's regulations as set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; B. The facility will operate in conformity with the ap>11 cation, the provisions of tie Act, and the regulations of tie Commission;
. C. There is reasonable assurance: (1)thattheactivitiesauthorized by this amendment can be conducted without endangering the health and safety of the public, and (ii) that such activities will be 2 conducted in compliance with the Comission's regulations set forth in 10 CFR Chapter I; D.

3 B. CONTAIhYINT
- 1. . Reactor Building ,
The reactor shall be housed in a building capable of meeting the following function'al requirementsi In the event of an accident which could involve the release of radioactive material, the confinement building air shall be exhausted through a clean-up system and stack creating a flow of air into the building with a negative differential pressure between the building and the outside atmosphere.
The builiing shall be gas tight in the sense that a negative dif ferential pressure can be maintained dynamically with all
- gas leaks occurring inward. The confinement and clean-up systems stall become operative when a building evacuation button is pressed. This action shall (1) turn off all ventilation fans and the air conditioner system and (2) close the dampers on the ventilation and air conditioning system intakes and exhaust, other than those which are a part of the clean-up system. No further action shall be required to establish confinement and place the clean-up system in operation. An auxiliary electrial power system shall be provided at the site to insure the availability of
- power to operate the clean-up system. '
The reactor building exhaust blower, which is designed to exhaust at , .
least 4000 cim, operates An conjunction with additional exhaust blower (s) which provide an additional exhaust of at least 10000 cfm from non-reactor building sources and in conjunction with the air handling unit which takes air into the reactor building at less than 4000 cim. The totalDuring exhaustnormal rate through the stack is at least 14000 cin.
operation, the building is at a pressure somewhat below atmospheric.
The control room air conditioner shall be a self-contained unit, thermostatically controlled, providing constant air temperature f or the control room. If it is installed with a penetration through the wall of the reactor building, it shall have a damper at this penetration which closes when an evacuation button is pressed.
Upon activation, the clean-up system shall exhaust air from the reactor building through a filter and a 115 foot high stack, creating a pressure less than atmospheric pressure. The clean-up filter shall contain a roughing filter, an absolute particulate filter, a charcoal filter for removing radioiodine, and an absolute filter for removing charcoal dust which may be contaminated with radiciodine. Each absolute filter cartridge shall be individually tested and certified by the manuf acturer to have an ef ficiency of not less than 99.9M when tested with 0.3 micron diameter diocty1phthalate smoke. The minimum removal ef ficiency of the charcoal filters shall be 994, based on CML data and measure: rents performed locally.
Gases from the beam ports, thermal column, pneumatic system, and all other radioactive gas exhaust points shall be exhausted to the stack through a roughing and absolute filter system.
