Summary
Measurements were made of the air leakage rates through structural components that penetrate semicontainment reactor housing installations. Full- sized test specimens were sealed inside a 10-ft-diameter test sphere, and the leakage rate was measured as a function of pressure for pressure differentials of up to 25 in. of water. The data were fitted to empirical equations that describe the leak rate at any pressure differential within the range of the experimental tests. The forms of the equations are such that the total leak rate of a building can be obtained by summing the empirical constants and multiplying by a probable pressure differential. (auth)
