, The Degraded Voltage Monitoring relay settings are based on the short term s starting voltage protection as well as long term running voltage i protection. The 4.16 KV undervoltage relay setpoints are based on the I allowable starting voltage plus maximum system voltage drops to the motor terminals, which allows approximately 78% of motor rated voltage at the 1 motor terminals. The 460V undervoltage relay setpoint is based on long i term motor voltage requirements plus the maximum feeder voltage drop allowance resulting in a 92% setting of motor rated voltage.

The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is availatile on selected plant parameters to monitor

and assess these variables during and following an accident. This capability is consistent with the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.97,

" Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident," December 1975 and NUREG-0578, "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-Term Recommendations."

The OPERABILITY of the chlorine detection system ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly detect and initiate protective action in the event of an accidental chlorine release. This capability is required to protect control room personnel and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.95, " Protection of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Operators against an Accidental Chlorine Release,"

February 1975.

The subcooled margin monitors (SMM), core-exit thermocouples (CET), Reactor Vessel Level Monitoring System (RVLMS), and Hot Leg Level Measurement System (HLLMS) are a result of the Inadequate Core Cooling (ICC) instrumentation required by Item II.F.2 NUREG-0737. The function of the ICC instrumentation is to increase the ability of the plant operators to diagnose the approach to and recovery from ICC. Additionally, they aid in tracking reactor coolant inventory. These instruments are included in the Technical Specifications at the request of NRC Generic Letter 83-37 and are not required by the accident analysis, nor to bring the plant to cold shutdown conditions.

b 24. With the number of OPERABLE channels one less than the Total Number of Channels, STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATIGN may proceed provided the following conditions are satisfied:

a. Within 1 hour:
1. Place the inoperable channel in the tripped condition, or
2. Remove power supplied to the control rod trip device associated with the inoperable channel.

trip breaker associated with the logic of the channel being tested. The inoperable channel above j jp shall not be bypassed to test the logic of a channel of the trip system associated with the inoperable channel.

25. With one of the Control Rod Drive Trip Breaker diverse trip features (undervoltage or shunt trip attachment) inoperable, restore it to OPERABLE status in 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> or place the breaker in trip in the next hour.

The channel operability of the HLLMS is defined as a minimum of one wide range and any two of the narrow range transmitters in the same channel operable.

With the number of OPERABLE channels one less than the Minimum Operable Channets, operation may continue. A Special Report must be prepared and submitted to the NRC, pursuant to Specification 6.12.5, within 30 days describing the cause of the inoperability and plan and schedule for restoring both channels to OPERABLE status during the next scheduled refueling outage.
