Per FSAR Table 3.11-2 the temperature could reach 327 F, the instruments are 0

qualified up to 180 F operation.

Analysis of Occurrence:

Should the post accident environment of the No. 4 accumulator room reach 0

or exceed 180 F, the instruments possibly would not be capable of performing their intended post accident functions.

There was no hazard to public henith and safety.

. Corrective Action:

The subject transmitters are to be replaced with transmitters capable of withstanding the accident environment.

Failure Data:

None.
