SURVEILLANCE FREQUENCY I
SR 3.6.11.2 Verify, with the ARS air return fan damper closed and 92 days with the bypass dampers open, each ARS fan motor current is s 59.0 amps when the fan speed is 2 174 rpm 1
l and s 1200 rpm.
SR 3.6.11.3 Verify, with the ARS fan not operating, each ARS motor 92 days operated damper opens automatically on an actual or simulated actuation signal after a delay of 2 9 seconds and s 11 seconds.
1 SR 3.6.11.4 Verify the check damper is open with the ARS fan 92 days operating.
i SR 3.6.11.5 Verify the check damper is closed with the ARS fan not 92 days operating.
l
~
l SR 3.6.11.6 Verify that each ARS fan is de-energized or is prevented 18 months from starting upon receipt of a terminate signal from the Containment Pressure Control System (CPCS) and is l
allowed to start upon receipt of a start permissive from t
the CPCS.
SR 3.6.11.7 Verify that each ARS fan motor-operated damper is 18 months prevented from opening in the absence of a start permissive from the Containment Pressure Control System (CPCS) and is allowed to open upon receipt of a start permissive from the CPCS.

ARS B 3.6.11 BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (continued)
SR 3.6.11.3 Verifying the OPERABILITY of the return air damper provides assurance that the proper flow path will exist when the fan is started. This Surveillance also tests the circuitry, including time delays to ensure the system operates properly. The Frequency of 92 days was developed considering the importance of the dampers, their location, physical l
environment, and probability of failure. Operating experience has also l
shown this Frequency to be acceptable.
SR 3.6.11.4 and SR 3.6.11.5 Verifying the OPERABILITY of the check damper in the air return fan discharge line to the containment lower compartment provides assurance that the proper flow path will exist when the fan is started and that l
reverse flow can not occur when the fan is not operating. The Frequency of 92 days was developed considering the importance of the dampers, their location, physical environment, and probability of failure. Operating experience has also shown this Frequency to be acceptable.
SR 3.6.11.6 and SR 3.6.11.7 These SRs require verification that each ARS motor operated damper is i
allowed to open or is prevented from opening and each ARS fan is I
allowed to start or is de-energized or prevented from starting based on the presence or absence of Containment Pressure Control System start permissive and terminate signals. The CPCS is described in the Bases for LCO 3.3.2, "ESFAS." The 18 month Frequency is based on operating experience which has shown it to be acceptable.
