O . . O CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS 3/4.6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES (Continued)
BASES R207 The opening of penetration flow path (s) on an intermittent basis under administrative control includes the following considerations: (1) stationing an operator, who is in constant communication with the control room,' at the valve controls, (2) instructing the operator to close these valves in an accident situation, and (3) assuring that the environmental conditions will not preclude access tc close the valves and that this action will prevent the release of radioactivity outside the containment. For valves with controls located in the control room, these conditions can be satisfied by including a specific reference to closing the particular valves in the emergency procedures, since communication and environmental factors are not affected because of the location of the valve controls.
Note that due to competing requirements and dual functions associated with R201
. the containment vacuum relief isolation valves (FCV-30-46, -47, and -48), the air supply and solenoid arrangement is designed such that upon the unavailability of Train A essential control air, the containment vacuum relief isolation valves are incapable of automatic closure and are therefore considered inoperable for the containment isolation function without operator action.
The containment vacuum relief valves (30-571, -572, and -573) are qualified to perform a containment isolation function. These valves are not powered from any electrical source and no spurious signal or operator action '
could initiate opening. 'The valves'are spring loaded, swing disk (check) valves with an elastomer seat. The valves are normally closed and are equipped with limit switches that provide fully open and fully closed indication in the main control room (MCR). Based upon the above information, a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed action time is appropriate while actions are taken to return the containment vacuum relief isolation valves to service.

' BASES The opening of penetration flow path (s) on an intermittent basis under R207 administrative control includes the following considerations: (1) stationing ,
an operator, who is in constant communication with the control room, at the I valve controls, (2) instructing the operator to close these valver in an accident situation, and (3) assuring that the environmental conditions will not preclude access to close the valves and that this action will prevent the i release of radioactivity outside the containment. For valves with controls located in the control room, these conditions can be satisfied by including a i specific reference to closing the particular valves in the emergency I procedures, etnc communication and environmental factors are not affected because of '.he location of the valve controls. {

Note that due to competing requirements and dual functions associated with '
the containment vacuum relief isolation valves (FCV-30-46, -47, and -48), the R201 air supply and solenoid arrangement is designed such that upon the unavailability of Train A essential control air, the containment vacuum relief isolation valves are incapable of automatic closure and are therefore considered inoperable for the containment isolation function without operator action.
The containment vacuum relief valves (30-571, -572, and -573) are qualified to perform a containment isolation function. These valves are not powered from any electrical source and no spurious signal or operator action could initiate opening. The valves are spring loaded, swing disk (check) valves with an elastomer seat. The valves are normally closed and are equipped with limit switches that provide fully open and fully closed indication in the main control room (MCR). Based upon the above information, a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed action time is appropriate while actions are taken to return the containment vacuum relief isolation valves to service.
Isolation of a containment penetration flow path may include the use of a check valve with flow through the valve secured. This method of isolation would involve stopping flow through the penetration flow path such that the check valve acts as a containment isolation barrier.
