Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals (continued) 5.5.16 Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program This program provides controls for implementation of the leakage rate testing of the containment as required by 10 CFR 50.54(o) and 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option B, as modified by approved exemptions for Type A testing. This program shall be in accordance with the guidelines contained in Regulatory Guide 1.163, "Performance-Based Containment Leak-Test Program," dated September 1995, as modified by the following exception:

a. NEI 94-01 -'1995, Section 9.3.2: The first Type A test performed after the April 9, 1992, Type A test shall be performed no later than April 9, 2007.

Type B and C testing shall be implemented in the program in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, Option A.

The peak containment pressure, Pa, is specified as the containment design pressure of 42 psig, which exceeds the peak calculated containment internal pressure for the design basis loss of coolant accident.

The maximum allowable containment leakage rate, La, at Pa, shall be 0.1% of the containment air weight per day.

Leakage rate acceptance criteria are:

a. Containment leakage rate acceptance criteria is < 1.0 La.

During the first unit startup following testing in accordance with this program, the leakage rate acceptance criteria are < 0.60 La for the Type B and Type C tests, and

< 0.75 La for Type A tests.

The provisions of SR 3.0.3 are applicable to the Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program.

5.5.17 Control Room Envelope Habitability Program A Control Room Envelope (CRE) Habitability Program shall be implemented to ensure that, with an OPERABLE Control Room Emergency Filtration System, CRE occupants can control the nuclear power unit safely following a radiological event, hazardous chemical release, or a smoke challenge. The program shall include the following elements:

Programs and Manuals 5.5 5.5 Programs and Manuals 5.5.17 Control Room Envelope Habitability Program (continued)

a. The definition of the CRE and the CRE boundary.

b. Requirements for maintaining the CRE boundary in its design condition, including configuration control and preventive maintenance.

c. Requirements for: Mi) determining the unfiltered air inleakage past the CRE boundary into the CRE in accordance with the testing methods and at the frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, "Demonstrating Control Room Envelope Integrity at Nuclear Power Reactors," Revision 0, May 2003, and (ii) assessing CRE habitability at the frequencies specified in Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0.

The following exception is taken to Sections C.1 and C.2 of Regulatory Guide 1.197, Revision 0:

1. Unfiltered air inleakage testing shall include the ability to deviate from the test methodology of ASTM-E741. These exceptions shall be documented in the test report.

d. Measurement, at designated locations, of the CRE pressure relative to external areas adjacent to the CRE boundary during the pressurization mode of operation by one train of the CREFS, operating at the flow rate required by the VFTP, at a frequency of 18 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS. The results shall be trended and used as part of the assessment of the CRE boundary.

e. The quantitative limits on unfiltered air inleakage into the CRE. These limits shall be stated in a manner to allow direct comparison to the unfiltered air inleakage measured by the testing described in paragraph c. The unfiltered air inleakage limit for radiological challenges is the inleakage flow rate assumed in the licensing basis analyses of DBA consequences. For hazardous chemicals, inleakage rates shall be less than assumed in the licensing bases.

f. The provisions of SR 3.0.2 are applicable to the frequencies for assessing CRE habitability, determining CRE unfiltered inleakage, and measuring CRE pressure and assessing the CRE boundary as required by paragraphs c and d, respectively.
