representing the effective management of the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program. In order for the NRC staff to assess the proper and effective implementation of the Type B and Type C local leak rate testing program for each unit, please provide the following:

a. For the last two consecutive periodic tests, please provide a table that has (1) the component(s) that have not demonstrated acceptable performance, (2) the as-found value, (3) the acceptable value, (4) the as-left value, (5) the causes of the test failure, (6) the corrective actions taken, and (7) the next test schedule intervals.
b. A discussion of any operating experience and evaluation results, regarding the potential for, or presence of, corrosive conditions at the concrete-to-metal interface at the basement floor of the containment. The discussion should include the potential for stagnant water to be trapped behind a degraded floor seal (moisture barrier) area that could promote pitting corrosion.
