TABLE 3.3-6 (Continued)
TABLE NOTATIONS With fuel in the fuel storage pool areas.
With irradiated fuel in the fuel storage pool areas.
When venting or purging from containment to the atmosphere, the trip set-point shall not exceed the equivalent limits of Specification 3.11.2.1 in accordance with the methodology and parameters in the ODCM. When not vent-ing or purging in Modes 5 or 6, the alarm setpoint concentration (pCi/ml) shall be such tnat the actual submersion dose rate would not exceed SmR/hr without alarm.
When not venting or purging in Modes 1 through 4 the alarm setpoint shall be no more than 3 times the containment atmosphere activity as indicated by the radiation monitor.
ACTION STATEMENTS ACTION 30 - With less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation may continue provided the containment purge and exhaust valves are maintained closed.
ACTION 31 - With the number of operable channels one less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> initiate and maintain operation of the Control Room Area Ventilation System with flow through the HEPA filters and activated carbon adsorbers.
ACTION 32 - With less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requireunt, opera-tion may continue for up to 30 days provided an appropriate portable continuous monitor with the same Alarm Setpoint is provided in the fuel storage pool area.
Restore the inoperable monitors to OPERABLE status within 30 days or suspend all operations involving fuel movement in the fuel building.
ACTION 33 - Must satisfy the ACTION requirement for Specification 3.4.6.1.
ACTION 34 - With the number of OPERABLE channels-less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation may continue provided the Fuel Handling Ventilation Exhaust System is operating and discharging through the HEPA filters and activated carbon adsorbers.
Otherwise, suspend all operations involving fuel movement in the fuel building.
ACTION 35 - With the number of OPERABLE. channels less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation may continue provided the Auxiliary Building Filtered Exhaust System is operating and discharging through the HEPA filter and activated carbon adsorbers.
ACTION 36 - With the number of OPERABLE channels less than the Minimum Channels OPERABLE requirement, operation may continue for up to 30 days provided that, at least once per 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />, grab samples are collected and analyzed for radioactivity-(gross gamma) at a lower limit of detection of no more than 10 7 pCi/ml.
