The paragraph 84-000-1100 leak test is an overall system tightness test. No plant disassembly is required or desired. The MRC 7DKD pressure test/deep vacuum test should be accomplished. 7DKD is a more reliable test for atmospheric leaks than the electronic detector, especially for small leaks, and it also verifies that the isolation valves at the vacuum's boundary are not leaking by.
