NOTES FOR TABLE 3.1.A 1.

There shall be two operable or tripped trip systems for each function. If the minimum number of operable instrument channels per trip system cannot be met for one trip system, trip the inoperable channe1s or entire trip system within one hour, or, alternatively, take the be1ow listed action for that trip function. If the minimum number of operable instrument channe1s cannot be met by either trip

system, the appropriate action listed below (refer to right-hand column of Table) shall be taken.

An inoperable channe1 need not be placed in the tripped condition where this would cause the trip funct-ion to occur.

In these

cases, the inoperable channe1 shall be restored to operable status within two hours, or take the action listed below for that trip function.

A. Initiate insertion of operable rods and complete insertion of all operable rods within four hours.

In refue1ing mode, suspend all operations involving core alterations and fully insert all oper-able control rods within one hour.

B.

D.

Reduce power to less than 30X of rated.

2.

Scram discharge volume high bypass may be used in shutdown or refuel to bypass scram discharge volume scram with control rod block for reactor protection system reset.

3.

Bypassed if reactor pressure is less than 1055 psig and mode switch not in run.
