REVIEW RESPONSIBILITIES Primary - Containment Systems Branch (CSB) Secondary - None I. AREAS OF REVIEW Information describing the reactor containment leakage testing program is reviewed by the CSB for conformance to 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix J and General Design Criteria 52, 53 and 54. The CSB review of the reactor containment leakage testing program covers the follow- ing specific areas: 1. Containment integrated leakage rate tests (Type A tests as defined by Appendix J), including pretest requirements, general test methods, acceptance criteria for preoperational and periodic leakage rate tests, provisions for additional test- ing in the event of failure to meet acceptance criteria, and scheduling of tests. 2. Containment penetration leakage rate tests (Type B tests as defined by Appendix J), including identification of containment penetrations, general test methods, test pressures, acceptance criteria, and scheduling of tests. 3. Containment isolation valve leakage rate tests (Type C tests as defined by Appendix J), including identification of isolation valves, general test methods, test pressures, acceptance criteria, and scheduling of tests. 4. Technical specifications pertaining to containment leakage rate testing are reviewed at the operating license (OL) stage. Rev. 2 - July 1981 USNRC STANDARD REVIEW PLAN Standard review plans are prepared for the guidance of the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation staff responsible for the review of applications to construct and operate nuclear power plants. These documents are made available to the public as part of the Commission's policy to inform the nuclear Industry and the general public of regulatory procedures and policies. Standard review plans are not substitutes for regulatory guides or the Commision's regulations and compliance with them Is not required. The standard review plan sections are keyed to the Standard Format and Content of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants. Not al sections of the
