Primary Coolant System Pressure Isolation Valves i

5 specification:

j 1.

Feriodic leakage testing (a) on each valve listed in table 4.3.1 shall be accomplished prior to exceeding 600 psig reactor pressure every time the plant is placed in i

tne cold shutdown condition for refueling, each time the plant is placed in a cold shutdown condition for 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> if testing has not been accomplished in the ' preceeding 9 months, whenever the valve is moved whether 6y manual actuation or due to flow conditions, and after returning the valve to service af ter maintenance, repair or l

replacement work is perf ormed.

H.

Reactor Coolant System Leakage 1.

Unidentified leakage rate shall be calculated at least i

once every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

2.

Total leakage rate (identified and unidentified) shall be i

calculated at least once every 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.

3.

A channel calibration of the primary containment sump 4

flow integrator and the primary containment eouipment drain tank flow integrator shall be conducted at least i

once per 18 months.

j Bases:

l8 Numerous data are available relating integrated flux and the change in Nil-Ductility Transition Temperature (NDTT) in various steels.

The base i

metal has been demonstrated to be relatively insensitive to neutron irradiation (see expected NDT changes in FOSAR Table IV-1-1, and Figures l

IV-2-0 and IV-2-10).

The most conservative data has been used in i

Specification 3.3.

The integrated flux at the veseel wall is calculated from core physics data and will be measured using flux monitors installed inside the vessel. The measurements of the neutron flux at the vessel Wall will be used to check and if necessary correct, the calculated data to I

determine an accurate flux.

From this a conservative NDT temperature gan be l

determined. Since no shift will occur until an integrated flux of 10 '

nyt is reached, the confirmation can be made long before an NDTT shift would occur.

l The inspection program will reveal problem areas should they occur, before a l

l leak develops.

In addition, extensive visual inspection for leaks will be made on critical systems.

Oyster Creek was designed and constructed prior to l

tal To satisf y ALARA requirements, leakage may be measured indirectly (as I

f rom th'e perf ormance of pressure indicators) if accomplished in accordance with approved procedures and supported by computations showing that the i

method is capable of demonstrating valve compliance with the leakage l

criteria.
