'3.8 CONTAINMENT s

Acolicability Applies to the integrity and operating pressure of the reactor containment.-

Obiective To define the limiting operating status of the reactor containment for unit operation.

Specification A.

Containment Intearity and Ooeratina Pressure 1.

The containment integrity, as defined in TS Section 1.0, shall not. be violated unless the reactor is in the cold shutdown

. condition.*

l 2.

The reactor containment shall not be purged whenever the Reactor Coolant System temperature is above 200*F.

3.

The inside and outside isolation valves in the steam jet air ejector suction line shall be locked, sealed or otherwise secured closed whenever the Reactor Coolant System temperature is above 200*F.

4.

The Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure must not exceed 350*F and 450 psig, respectively, unless the air partial pressure in the containment is at a value equal to, or below, that specified in TS Figure 3.8-1..

5.

The containment integrity shall.not be violated when the reactor vessel head is unbolted unless a shutdown margin greater than 5 percent ak/k is maintained.

  • In the event of failure of the personnel airlock inner door seal to meet the leakage test acceptance criteria, the outer personnel airlock door may be opened for a period of time not to exceed fifteen minutes with an annual cumulative time not to exceed one hour per year to allow access for the repair and retest of the inner door.

Amendment Nos.126 and 126

TS 4.4-3 Basis The leak tightness testing of all liner welds was performed during con-struction by welding a structural steel test channel over each weld seam and performing soap bubble and halogen leak tests.

The containment is designed for a maximum pressure of 45 psig.

The con-tainment is maintained at a subatmospheric air partial pressure which varies between 9 psia and 11 psia depending upon the cooldown capability of the Engineered Safeguards and is not expected to rise above 39.2 psig for any postulated loss-of-coolant accident.

All loss-of-cool' ant accident evaluations have been based on an integrated containment leakage rate not to exceed 0.1% of containment voltme per 24 hr.

The above specification satisfies the conditions of 10 CFR 50.54(0) which stated that primary reactor containments shall meet the containment leakage test requirements set forth in Appendix J.

The limitations on closure and leak rate for the containment airlocks are required to meet the restrictions on containment integrity and containment leak rate.

Surveillance testing of the airlock seals provides assurance C at the overall airlock leakage will not become excessive due to seal damage during the intervals between airlock leakage tests.
