47 CAUSE oESCRtPTICN AND CORRECTIVE ACTIONS

,,, a, l Th~e cause of the event is attribu to instrument repeatability. The

,,,, switches were adjusted to trip within the Technical Specification limit.

,An engineering study is in progress regarding the feasibility of

replacing the existing sensors with a solid state system.
