ITTTI Nhile nerforminz low power ohysics testine followinz a refueline outaze. it I was observed that all reactor protection bistables associated with N-43 were, gi not in the trip mode while the instrument was used as input into the gi r, i <,1 treactivity computer.

This violated the required degree of redundancy as l

,g,; stated in T.S. 3.5 (Table 3.5-1, Item 2).

I g iresulted in the incomplete tripping of all bistables associated with a nuclear instrument power range channel.

Instrument power was blocked l correcting the inadequacy. A procedure chang.a was submitted to ensure i.1Icemo11ance.
