REACTOR COOLANTSYSTEM i 3/4.4.2 SAFETY/RELIEF VALVES LIMITINGCONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4.2 The safety valve function of at feast 12 of the following reactor coolant system safety/relief valves shall be OPERABLE with the specified code safety valve function liftsettings: * **

2 safety-relief valves @1175 psig t 1%

6 safety-relief valves @1195 psig t 1%

8 safety-relief valves @1205 psig a 1%

APPLICABILITY: OPERATIONALCONDITIONS 1, 2 and 3.

ACTION:

a.

With the safety valve function of one or more of the above required safety/relief valves inoperable, be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

b.

With one or more safety/relief valves stuck open, provided that suppression pool average water temperature is less than 105'F, close the stuck open relief valve(s); if unable to close the open valve(s) within 2 minutes or if suppression pool water temperature is 105'F or greater, place the reactor mode switch in the Shutdown position.

c.

With one or more safety/relief valve acoustic monitors inoperable, restore the inoperable monitor(s) to OPERABLE status within 7 days or be in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the next 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN"within the following 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

SURVEILLANCEREQUIREMENTS 4.4.2 The acoustic monitor for each safety/relief valve shall be demonstrated OPERABLE with the setpoint verified to be 0.25 of the full open noise level by performance of a:

a.

CHANNELFUNCTIONALTEST at least once per 31 days, and a b.

Calibration in accordance with procedures prepared in conjunction with its manufacturer's recommendations at least once per 1S months.

  • The lift setting pressure shall correspond to ambient conditions of the valves at nominal operating temperatures and pressures.
