Content:
d retention of radioactive iodine in the ice melt limits the quantity of radioactive iodine available in the containment atmosphere, thereby mitigating the potential release of fission products to the environment. Therefore, requiring compliance with GDC 41 for the ice condenser ensures that it will provide an effective method of controlling volatile fission products released to the containment atmosphere, mitigating the potential release of fission products and minimizing the potential dose to the general public during and following postulated accidents. 2. GDC 42 establishes requirements regarding the periodic inspection of containment atmosphere cleanup systems. The ice condenser systems are one of the containment atmosphere cleanup systems relied upon to entrain volatile fission products during and after the design basis accident. Inspection of important components for the ice condenser systems assures the integrity and capability of the system to perform its design function. Assuring the integrity and capability of the ice condenser systems through inspections of important components improves plant safety by ensuring that the system will perform as assumed in the design basis accident analysis during and after postulated accidents. Operability of the ice condenser systems during and after postulated accidents minimizes the potential release of volatile fission products, thereby minimizing the potential dose to the general public. 3. GDC 43 establishes requirements regarding the design of the containment atmosphere cleanup systems to permit appropriate periodic functional testing. The allowance in the design for periodic functional testing ensures the operability and performance of the ice condenser system can be verified. Ensuring Operability and performance of the ice 6.5.4-5 DRAFT Rev. 4 - April 1996 condenser system assures that the system will be capable of performing its design function within the limits of the safety analysis. The ice condenser functions
