3 4.3.3 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3 4.3.3.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION Noble gas effluent monitors provide information, during and following an accident, which is considered helpful to the operator in assessing the plant condition. It is desired that these monitors be OPERABLE at all times during plant operation, but they are not required for safe shutdown of the plant.
In addition, a minimum of two in containment radiation-level monitors with a maximum range of 10 R/hr for photon only should be OPERABLE at all times except for cold shutdown and refueling outages.
In case of failure of the monitor, appropriate actions should be taken to restore its operational capability as soon as possible.
Table 3.3-6 is based on the following Alarm/Trip Setpoints and Measurement Ranges for each instrument listed.
For the unit vent noble gas monitors, it should be noted that there is an automatic switchover from the low/mid-range channels to the high-range channel when the upper limits of the low-and mid-range channel measurement ranges are reached.
In this case there is no flow to the low-and mid-range channels from the unit vent sample line.
This is considered to represent proper operation of the monitor.
Therefore, if automatic switchover to the high-range should occur, and the low-and mid-range detectors are capable of functioning when flow is re-established, the low-and mid-range channels should not be declared inoperable and the ACTION statement in the Technical Specification does not apply.
This is also true while purging the low-and mid-range chambers following a large activity excursion prior to resumption of low-level monitoring and establishment of a new background.

BASES 3 4.3.3.5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the remote shutdown instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT STANDBY of the facility from locations outside of the control room.
This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost and is consistent with General Design Criteria 19 of 10 CFR 50.
3 4.3.3.5.1 APPENDIX R REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Appendix R remote shutdown instrumentation ensures that sufficient instrumentation is available to permit shutdown of the facility to COLD SHUTDOWN conditions at the local shutdown indication (LSI) panel.
In the event of a fire, normal power to the LSI panels may be lost.
As a result, capability to repair the LSI panels from Unit 2 has been provided. If the alternate power supply is not available, fire watches will be established in those fire areas where loss of normal power to the LSI panels could occur in the event of fire.
This will consist of either establishing continuous fire watches or verifying OPERABILITY of fire detectors per Specification 4.3.3.7 and establishing hourly fire watches.
The details of how these fire watches are to be implemented are included in a plant procedure.
3 4.3.3.7 FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION SYSTEMS DETECTORS OPERABILITY of the fire detection systems/detectors ensures that adequate detection capability is available for the prompt detection of fires.
This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages.
Prompt detection of the fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related systems or components in the areas of the specified systems and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.
In the event that a portion of the fire detection systems is inoperable, the ACTION statements provided maintain the facility's fire protection program and allows for continued operation of the facility until the inoperable system(s)/detector(s) are restored to OPERABILITY.
- However, it is not our intent to rely upon the compensatory action for an extended period of time and action will be taken to restore the minimum number of detectors to OPERABLE status within a reasonable period.
3 4.3.3.8 POST-ACCIDENT INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the post-accident instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables during and following an accident.
The containment water level and containment sump level transmitters will be modified or replaced and OPERABLE by the end of the refueling outage to begin in February 1989.
+Amendment 112 (Effective before startup following refueling outage currently scheduled in 2/89).
COOK NUCLEAR PLANT - UNIT 1 B 3/4 3-6 AMENDMENT NO.
EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS BASES 3 4.5.5 REFUELING WATER STORAGE TANK The OPERABILITY of the RWST as part of the ECCS ensures that sufficient negative reactivity is injected into the core to counteract any positive increase in reactivity caused by RCS system cooldown, and ensures that a sufficient supply of borated water is available for injection by the ECCS in the event of a LOCA.
Reactor coolant system cooldown can be caused by inadvertent depressurization, a loss of coolant accident or a steam line rupture.
The limits on RWST minimum volume and boron concentration ensure that
- 1) sufficient water is available within containment to permit recirculation cooling flow to the core, and 2) the reactor will remain subcritical in the cold condition following mixing of the RWST and the RCS water volumes with all control rods inserted except for the most reactive control assembly.
These assumptions are consistent with the LOCA analyses.
The contained water volume limit includes an allowance for water not usable because of tank discharge line location or other physical characteristics.
The limits on contained'ater volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.6 and 9.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA.
This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.
The ECCS analyses to determine F
limits in Specifications 3.2.2 and 3.2.6 assumed a
RWST water temperature of 70 F.
This temperature value of the RWST 0
water determines that of the spray water initially delivered to the containment following LOCA. It is one of the factors which determines the containment back-pressure in the ECCS analyses, performed in accordance with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.46 and Appendix K to 10 CFR 50.
The value of the minimum RWST temperature in Technical Specification 3.5.5 has been conservatively changed to 80 F to increase the consistency between Units 1
0 and 2.
The lower RWST temperature results in lower containment pressure from containment spray and safeguards flow assumed to exit the break.
Lower containment pressure results in increased flow resistance of steam exiting the core thereby slowing reflood and increasing PCT.

INSTRUMENTATION Continued BASES ESF response times specified in Table 3.3-5 which include sequential operation of the RWST and VCT valves (Notes Q and QQ) are based on values assumed in the,non-LOCA safety analyses.
These analyses take credit for injection of borated water from the RWST.
Injection of borated water is assumed not to occur until the VCT charging pump suction valves are closed following opening of the RWST charging pump suction valves.
When sequential operation of the RWST and VCT valves is not included in the response times (Note ++); the values specified are based on the LOCA analyses.
The LOCA analyses take credit for injection flow regardless of the source.
Verification of the response times specified in Table 3.3-5 will assure that the assumption used for VCT and RWST valves are valid.

It is desired that these monitors be OPERABLE at all times during plant operation, but they are not required for safe shutdown of the plant.
