CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1.7 REACTOR BUILDING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment reactor building will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility.
Structural integrity is required to provide:
(1) protection for the steel vessel from external missiles, (2) radiation shielding in the event of a LOCA, and (3) an annulus surrounding the steel vessel that can be maintained at a negative pressure during accident conditions.
A visual inspection is sufficient to demonstrate this capability.
3/4.6.1.8 ANNULUS VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Annulus Ventilation System ensures that during LOCA conditions, containment vessel leakage into the annulus will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber trains prior to discharge to the atmos-phere.
Cumulative operation of the system with the heaters on for 10 hours over a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.
The specified laboratory test method, ASTM-3803-89, implies that heaters may be unavailable for controlling the relative humidity of the influent air entering the charcoal absorber section to 5 70 percent.
This is ecceptable since the accident analysis with appropriate absorber efficiencies for radioiodine in elemental and organic forms based on the above test shows that the control room radiation doses to be within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A GDC 19 limits during design basis LOCA conditions.
However, specifications are included to ensure heater operability and corrections ACTIONS are identified to address the contigency of inoperable heaters; these are in place to increase the safety margin of the filters.
Heater operation is not necessary to meet the assumptions used in the accident analyses and limit the SITE BOUNDARY radiation doses to within the dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 during LOCA conditions.
3/4.6.1.9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM The containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves for the lower compartment (24-inch) and instrument room (12-inch and 24-inch) are required to bd sealed closed during plant operations since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA.
Maintaining these valves sealed closed during plant operation ensures that excessive quantities of radioactive material will not be released via the Containment Purge System.
To provide assurance that these containment valves cannot be inadvertently opened, the valves are sealed closed in accordance with Standard Review Plan 6.2.4 which includes mechanical devices to seal or lock the valve closed, or prevents power from being supplied to the valve operator.
The use of the containment purge lines is restricted to the purge supply and exhaust isolation valves in the upper compartment (24-inch) since, unlike the valves in the lower compartment and instrument room, the upper compartment valves will close during a LOCA.
Therefore, the SITE BOUNDARY dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 would not be exceeded in the event of an accident during containment ourging operation.
Operation with these valves open will be limited to 250 hours during a calendar year.
McGUIRE - UNITS 1 and 2 B 3/4 6-3 Amendment No.122 (Unit 1)
Amendment No.104 (Unit 2)
 
CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1,9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM (Continued)
Leakage integrity tests with a maximum allowable leakage rate for contain-ment purge supply and exhaust supply valves will provide early indication of resilient material seal degradation and will allow opportunity for repair before gross leakage failures could develop.
The 0.60 L leakage limit of Specifica-tion 3.6.1.2b. shall not be exceeded when the leakage rates determined by the leakage integrity tests of these valves are added to the previously determined total for all valves and penetrations subject to Type B and C tests.
3/4.6.2 DEPRESSURIZATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS CONTAINHENT SPRAY SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Containment Spray System ensures that containment depressurization and cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA.
The pressure reduction and resultant lower containment leakage rate are consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.
3/4.6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES The OPERABILITY of the containment isolation valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment and is consistent with the requirements of GDC 54 thru 57 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
Containment isolation within the time limits specified for those isolation valves designed to close automatically ensures that the release of radioactive material to the environment will be consistent with the assumptions used in the analyses for a
: LOCA, Containment isolation valves are listed in FSAR Table 6.2.4-1.
Those valves with a required isolation time have c value given in the " MAX ISOLATION TIME (SEC)" column.
Penetration test type (type B, type C, or None) is listed in the " TEST TYPE" column of the table for each containment penetration.
Changes to the FSAR are made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
3/4.6.4 COMBUSTIBLE GAS CONTROL The OPERABILITY of the equipment and systems required for the detection and control of hydrogen gas ensures that this equipment will be available to
;naintain the hydrogen concentration within containment below its flammable limit during post-LOCA conditions, Either recombiner unit is capable of controlling the expected hydrogen generation associated with:
(1) zirconium-water reactions, (2) radiolytic decomposition of water, and (3) corrosion of metals within containment.
These hydrogen control systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.7, " Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment following a LOCA", March 1971.
The OPERABILITY of at least 64 of 66 igniters ensures that the Distributed Ignition System will maintain an effective coverage throughout the containment.
This system of igniters will initiate combustion of any significant amount of hydrogen released af ter a degraded core accident.
This system is to ensure burning in a controlled manner as the hydrogen is released instead of allowing it to be. ignited at high concentrations by a random ignition source.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES STANDBY NUCLEAR SERVICE WATER POND (Continued)
The linitations on minimum water level and maximum temperature are based on providing a 30-day cooling water supply to safety-related equipment with:,at exceeding their design basis temperature and is consistent with the recommend-ations of Regulatory Guide 1.27, " Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Plants,"
March 1974.
The Surveillance Requirements specified for the dam inspection will conform to tne recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.127, Revision 1, March 1978 3/4.7.6 CONTROL AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Control Area Ventilation System ensures that:
(1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system, and (2) the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel during and following all credible accident conditions.
Cumulative operation of the system with the heaters on for 10 hours over a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.
The specified laboratory test rethod, namely, ASTM D3803-89, implies that heaters may be unavailable for controlling the relative humidity of the influent air entering the charcoal absorber section to 5 70 percent.
This is acceptable since accident analysis with appropriate absorber efficiencies for radioicdine in el mental and ogranic forms based on the abova test shows the site boundary radiation doses to be within the 10 CFR Part 100 limits during design basis LOCA conditions.
However, specifications are included to ensure heater operability and corrective ACTIONS are identified to address the contingency of inoperable heaters; these are in place to increase the safety margin of the filters.
The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rem or less whole body, or its eqtivalent.
This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criterion 19 of Appendix A, 10 CFR 50.
ANSI N510-1975 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.
3/4.7.7 AUXILIARY BUILDING FILTERED VENTILATION EXHAUST SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust System ensures that radioactive materials leaking from the ECCS equipment within the auxiliary building following a LOCA are filtered prior to reaching the environment.
The operation of this system and the resultant effect on offsite dosage calculations were assumed in the accident analyses.
ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.
The methyl iodide penetration test criterion for the carbon samples has been established at 10% (i.e., 90% removal) which is greater than the iodine removal in the accident analysis.

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1.7 REACTOR BUILDING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY This limitation ensures that the structural integrity of the containment reactor building will be maintained comparable to the original design standards for the life of the facility.

Structural integrity is required to provide:

(1) protection for the steel vessel from external missiles, (2) radiation shielding in the event of a LOCA, and (3) an annulus surrounding the steel vessel that can be maintained at a negative pressure during accident conditions.

A visual inspection is sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

3/4.6.1.8 ANNULUS VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Annulus Ventilation System ensures that during LOCA conditions, containment vessel leakage into the annulus will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber trains prior to discharge to the atmos-phere.

Cumulative operation of the system with the heaters on for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> over a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.

The specified laboratory test method, ASTM-3803-89, implies that heaters may be unavailable for controlling the relative humidity of the influent air entering the charcoal absorber section to 5 70 percent.

This is ecceptable since the accident analysis with appropriate absorber efficiencies for radioiodine in elemental and organic forms based on the above test shows that the control room radiation doses to be within the 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A GDC 19 limits during design basis LOCA conditions.

However, specifications are included to ensure heater operability and corrections ACTIONS are identified to address the contigency of inoperable heaters; these are in place to increase the safety margin of the filters.

Heater operation is not necessary to meet the assumptions used in the accident analyses and limit the SITE BOUNDARY radiation doses to within the dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 during LOCA conditions.

3/4.6.1.9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM The containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valves for the lower compartment (24-inch) and instrument room (12-inch and 24-inch) are required to bd sealed closed during plant operations since these valves have not been demonstrated capable of closing during a LOCA.

Maintaining these valves sealed closed during plant operation ensures that excessive quantities of radioactive material will not be released via the Containment Purge System.

To provide assurance that these containment valves cannot be inadvertently opened, the valves are sealed closed in accordance with Standard Review Plan 6.2.4 which includes mechanical devices to seal or lock the valve closed, or prevents power from being supplied to the valve operator.

The use of the containment purge lines is restricted to the purge supply and exhaust isolation valves in the upper compartment (24-inch) since, unlike the valves in the lower compartment and instrument room, the upper compartment valves will close during a LOCA.

Therefore, the SITE BOUNDARY dose guideline values of 10 CFR Part 100 would not be exceeded in the event of an accident during containment ourging operation.

Operation with these valves open will be limited to 250 hours0.00289 days <br />0.0694 hours <br />4.133598e-4 weeks <br />9.5125e-5 months <br /> during a calendar year.

Amendment No.104 (Unit 2)

CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.6.1,9 CONTAINMENT VENTILATION SYSTEM (Continued)

Leakage integrity tests with a maximum allowable leakage rate for contain-ment purge supply and exhaust supply valves will provide early indication of resilient material seal degradation and will allow opportunity for repair before gross leakage failures could develop.

The 0.60 L leakage limit of Specifica-tion 3.6.1.2b. shall not be exceeded when the leakage rates determined by the leakage integrity tests of these valves are added to the previously determined total for all valves and penetrations subject to Type B and C tests.

3/4.6.2 DEPRESSURIZATION AND COOLING SYSTEMS CONTAINHENT SPRAY SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Containment Spray System ensures that containment depressurization and cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA.

The pressure reduction and resultant lower containment leakage rate are consistent with the assumptions used in the accident analyses.

3/4.6.3 CONTAINMENT ISOLATION VALVES The OPERABILITY of the containment isolation valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment and is consistent with the requirements of GDC 54 thru 57 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

Containment isolation within the time limits specified for those isolation valves designed to close automatically ensures that the release of radioactive material to the environment will be consistent with the assumptions used in the analyses for a

LOCA, Containment isolation valves are listed in FSAR Table 6.2.4-1.

Those valves with a required isolation time have c value given in the " MAX ISOLATION TIME (SEC)" column.

Penetration test type (type B, type C, or None) is listed in the " TEST TYPE" column of the table for each containment penetration.

Changes to the FSAR are made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.

3/4.6.4 COMBUSTIBLE GAS CONTROL The OPERABILITY of the equipment and systems required for the detection and control of hydrogen gas ensures that this equipment will be available to

naintain the hydrogen concentration within containment below its flammable limit during post-LOCA conditions, Either recombiner unit is capable of controlling the expected hydrogen generation associated with

(1) zirconium-water reactions, (2) radiolytic decomposition of water, and (3) corrosion of metals within containment.

These hydrogen control systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.7, " Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment following a LOCA", March 1971.

The OPERABILITY of at least 64 of 66 igniters ensures that the Distributed Ignition System will maintain an effective coverage throughout the containment.

This system of igniters will initiate combustion of any significant amount of hydrogen released af ter a degraded core accident.

This system is to ensure burning in a controlled manner as the hydrogen is released instead of allowing it to be. ignited at high concentrations by a random ignition source.

PLANT SYSTEMS BASES STANDBY NUCLEAR SERVICE WATER POND (Continued)

The linitations on minimum water level and maximum temperature are based on providing a 30-day cooling water supply to safety-related equipment with:,at exceeding their design basis temperature and is consistent with the recommend-ations of Regulatory Guide 1.27, " Ultimate Heat Sink for Nuclear Plants,"

March 1974.

The Surveillance Requirements specified for the dam inspection will conform to tne recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.127, Revision 1, March 1978 3/4.7.6 CONTROL AREA VENTILATION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Control Area Ventilation System ensures that:

(1) the ambient air temperature does not exceed the allowable temperature for continuous duty rating for the equipment and instrumentation cooled by this system, and (2) the control room will remain habitable for operations personnel during and following all credible accident conditions.

Cumulative operation of the system with the heaters on for 10 hours1.157407e-4 days <br />0.00278 hours <br />1.653439e-5 weeks <br />3.805e-6 months <br /> over a 31-day period is sufficient to reduce the buildup of moisture on the adsorbers and HEPA filters.

The specified laboratory test rethod, namely, ASTM D3803-89, implies that heaters may be unavailable for controlling the relative humidity of the influent air entering the charcoal absorber section to 5 70 percent.

This is acceptable since accident analysis with appropriate absorber efficiencies for radioicdine in el mental and ogranic forms based on the abova test shows the site boundary radiation doses to be within the 10 CFR Part 100 limits during design basis LOCA conditions.

However, specifications are included to ensure heater operability and corrective ACTIONS are identified to address the contingency of inoperable heaters; these are in place to increase the safety margin of the filters.

The OPERABILITY of this system in conjunction with control room design provisions is based on limiting the radiation exposure to personnel occupying the control room to 5 rem or less whole body, or its eqtivalent.

This limitation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criterion 19 of Appendix A, 10 CFR 50.

ANSI N510-1975 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.

3/4.7.7 AUXILIARY BUILDING FILTERED VENTILATION EXHAUST SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Auxiliary Building Filtered Ventilation Exhaust System ensures that radioactive materials leaking from the ECCS equipment within the auxiliary building following a LOCA are filtered prior to reaching the environment.

The operation of this system and the resultant effect on offsite dosage calculations were assumed in the accident analyses.

ANSI N510-1980 will be used as a procedural guide for surveillance testing.

The methyl iodide penetration test criterion for the carbon samples has been established at 10% (i.e., 90% removal) which is greater than the iodine removal in the accident analysis.
