NOTES i

When handling irradiated fuel in the secondary containment and during CORE

(

ALTERATIONS and operations with a potential for draining the reactor vessel.

When any turbine stop valve is greater than 90% open and/or when the key-locked bypass switch is in the Norm position.

Refer to Specification 3.1.5 for applicability.

The hydrogen water chemistry (HWC) system shall not be placed in service I

until reactor power reaches 20% of RATED THERMAL POWER. After reaching 20%

of RATED THERMAL POWER, and prior to operating the HWC system, the normal full power background radiation level and associated trip setpoints may be increased to levels previously measured during full power operation with i

hydrogen injection.

Prior to decreasing below 20% of RATED THERMAL POWER and after the HWC system has been shutoff, the background level and associated setpoint shall be returned to the normal full power values.

If l

a power reduction event occurs so that the reactor power is below 20% of I

l RATED THERMAL POWER without the required setpoint change, control rod motion shall be' suspended (except for scram or other emergency actions) until the necessary setpoint adjustment is made.

(a) A channel may be placed in an inoperable status for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for re-quired surveillance without placing the trip system in the tripped condition provided at least one other OPERABLE channel in the same trip system is monitoring that parameter.

(b) Also trips and isolates the mechanical vacuum pumps.

)

(c) Also starts the Filtration, Recirculation and Ventilation System (FRVS).

(d) Refer to Table 3.3.2-1 table notation for the listing of which valves in an actuation group are closed by a particular isolation signal. Refer to Tables 3.6.3-1 and 3.6.5.2-1 for the listing of all valves within an actuation group.

(e) Sensors arranged per valve group, not per trip system.

l (f) Closes only RWCU system isolation valve (s) HV-F001 and HV-F004.

(g) -Requires system steam supply pressure-low coincident with drywell pressure-high to close turbine exhaust vacuum breaker valves.

(h)- Manual isolation closes HV-F008 only, and only following manual or automatic initiation of the RCIC system.

(1) Manual isolation closes HV-F003 and HV-F042 only, and only following manual

~

or automatic initiation of the HPCI system.
