Disparity Between Recirculation Loop and Multipoint Recorder s

ik a.

Temperature Indications *

The licensee has issued instructions regarding log book entries to require an entry accompanying start of a recirculation pump and including differential temperature between the reactor coolant and the idle recirculation loop. The differential temperature is determined by subtracting the temperature.of the idle loop from the temperature of operating loops, as
