3/4.6.4 COMBUSTIBLE GAS CONTROL The OPERABILITY of the Hydrogen Analyzers, Containment Hydrogen i

Dilution System, and Hydrogen Purge System ensures that this equipment will be available to maintain the maximum hydrogen concentration within the containment vessel of or below inree volume percent following a LOCA.

The two redundant Hydrogen Analyzers determine the content of hydrogen within the coritainment vessel. The Hydrogen Analyzers, although they -

have their OPERABILITY requirements in this Specification, are considered port of the post-accident monitoring instrumentation of Specification 3/4.3.3.6, Post-Accident Monitoring instrumentation.

The Containment Hydrogen Dilution (CHD) System consists of two full capacity, redundant, rotary, positive' displacement type blowers to supply air to the containment. The CHD System controls the hydrogen concentration by the addition of air to the containment vessel, resulting in a pressurization of the containment'ond suppression of the hydrogen volume fraction.

conjunction with the CHD System and is designed to release air from the containment atmosphere through a HEPA filter and charcool filter prior to discharge to the station vent.

As a backup to the CHD System and the Containment Hydrogen Purge I

System, the capability to install on external hydrogen recombination system has been provided.

3/4.6.5 SHIELD BUILDING 3/4.6.5.1 EMERGENCY VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the emergency ventilation systems ensures that containment vessel leakoge occurring during LOCA conditions into the annulus will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal odsorber trains prior to discharge to the otmosphere. This requirement is necessory to meet the assumptions used in the safety analyses and limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR 100 during LOCA conditions.

The proper functioning of the EVS fans, dampers, filters, adsorbers, etc., as l

o system is verified by the ability of each train to produce the required l

system flow rate.

l CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.5.2 SHIELD BUILDING INTEGRITY Shield building integrity ensures that the release of radioactive material l

from the containment vessel _will be restricted to those leakage paths and associated leak rates assumed in the safety analysis. The closure of the airtight doors and blowout panels listed in Table 4.6-1 ensure that the Emergency Ventilation System (EVS) con provide a negative pressure between 0.25 and 1.5 inches Water Gauge within the annulus between the shield building and containment vessel and within the interconnecting mechanical penetration rooms after a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). This restriction,in conjunction with the operation of the EVS, will limit the site boundary radiation doses to within the limits of 10 CFR 100 during accident conditions.

In the event shield building integrity, including the capability of the EVS to l

provide a negative pressure of greater than or equal to 0.25 inches Water l

Gauge,is not maintained, shield building integrity must be restored within 24 l

hours. Twenty-four hours is a reasonable completion time considering the limited l

leakage design of the containment and the low probability of a Design Basis l

Accident occurring during.this time period.
