4.11.2.7.2 The radioactivity rate of noble gases from the recombiner after-condenser discharge shall be determined to be within the Ifaits of Specifica-tion 3.11.2.7 at the following frequencies by performing an isotopic analysis of a representative sample of gases taken near the discharge of the main con-denser air ejector:

a.

At least once per 31 days, b.

Within 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> following an increase, as indicated by the Offgas Radioactivity Monitor, of greater than 505, after factoring out increases due to changes in THERpmL POWER 1evel, in the nominal staaey-state fission gas release from the primary coolant.
