of this nature will be treated as follows:

a.

alternate system lineups to restore full operability consistent

with other requirements will be used where appropriate;

b.

that operator actions will not be credited as a substitute for

required automatic features of Protection or Engineered Safeguards

If our understanding is incorrect, please contact us promptly.
