Description / Abstract:
The provisions of this standard specify the practices and test
requirements for the quantitative determination of leakage rates of
containment structures for the housing of operating nuclear
reactors. The provisions apply to containment structures for
nuclear power, test, research, and training reactors, wherever a
gastight containment structure is specified as a conditions for
operation.
Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to specify uniform methods for
determining the leakage-rate of containment structures for nuclear
reactors and to do so in a manner which will permit estimates to be
made of the release of potentially hazardous fluids which might be
present in the containment structure.
