Secondary Containment Control Procedure, EOP-03-SCCP, requires Emergency

Depressurization if 2 or more areas exceed the Maximum Safe Operating Temperature

and a primary system is discharging reactor coolant into secondary containment.

Which ONE of the following statements explain the reason for this action?

A. The rise in secondary containment parameters indicate a wide-spread problem

which may pose a potential threat to secondary containment integrity or preclude

personnel access required for the safe operation of the plant.

B. The rise in secondary containment parameters indicate substantial degredation of

the primary system and may lead to fuel failure if the leaks are not isolated.

C. The rise in secondary containment parameters indicate a wide-spread problem

which may pose a direct and immediate threat to secondary containment integrity or

equipment located in secondary containment.

D. The rise in secondary containment parameters indicate substantial degredation of

the primary system and emergency depressurization effectively isolates the leak.
