COLD SHUTDOWN " LOOPS NOT FILLED LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.4. 1.4.2 Two shutdown cooling loops shall be OPERABLE and at least one
¹ shutdown cooling loop shall be in operation".
APPLICABILITY:
MODE 5 with reactor coolant loops not filled.
ACTION:
b.
With less than the above required loops OPERABLE, immediately initiate corrective action to return the required loops to OPERABLE status as soon as possible.
With no shutdown cooling loop in operation, suspend all operations involving a reduction in boron concentration of the Reactor Coolant System and immediately initiate corrective action to return the required shutdown cooling loop to operation.
SURVEILLANCE RE UIREMENTS 4.4. 1.4.2 At least one shutdown cooling loop shall be determined to be in operation and circulating reactor coolant at a flow rate of greater than or equal to 4000 gpm** at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

and either:
a.
One additional shutdown cooling loop shall be OPERABLE¹, or b.
The secondary side water level of at least two steam generators shall be greater than 25'ndicated wide range level.
APPLICABILITY:
NODE 5 with reactor coolant loops filled¹¹.
ACTION:
a.
With less than the above required loops OPERABLE or with less than
- "e required steam generator level, immediately initiate corrective a
- :ion to return the required loops to OPERABLE status or to restore required level as soon as possible.
b.
With no shutdown cooling loop in operation, suspend all operations
'involving a reduction in boron concentration of the Reactor Coolant System and immediately initiate corrective action to return the req ired shutdown cooling loop to operation.
