Q

What are the conditions and exit criteria for Adverse Containment?

A
  1. Containment Pressure 5+ psig. Can be exited as soon as pressure drops below
  2. Radiation level of 1E5 R/hr. Once level drops below, must be evaluated for integral dose. If Accumulated dose >10E6 R/hr, equipment has been physically damaged.
  3. During ELAP until PRZ and SG temps are verified below 196.8*F
