RANCHO SECO UNIT 1 TECHNICAL SPEC FICATIONS Surveillance 5:andards Calib racion Calibration shall be perfor=ed to assure the presen ation and acquisition Tac nuclear flux (power range) channels a=:lifiers of accurate information.

shall be calibrated against a heat balance standard when the core thermal power flo' ca l i b ra t ion is exceeds the indicated neutron power by more than two percent, requi red when indicated neutron power exceeds core thermal power, because this 94 would be a conservative deviation.

forth are considered acceptable.

Thus, minimum calibration frequencies set Teating Th3 frequency of on-line :esting of reactor protective channels as shown in table 4.1-1 will assure the required level of performance.

The equipment testing and system :sazcpling frequencies specified "in cable 4.1-2 and table 4.1-3 are considered adequate ce naintain :he equipment and systems in a safe operational status.(1)

Pcwer Distribution Mapping The incere instrumentation detector' system will provide,a neans of assuring that axial

  • and radial power peaks and the peak locations are being controlled by the provisions of the Technical Specification within :he limits employed in the safety snalysis.
