3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.3 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.3.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring channels ensures that 1) the radiation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the individual channels and 2) the alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded.

3/4.3.3.2 INCORE DETECTORS The OPERABILITY of the incore detectors with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the mecsurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core.

.3/4.3.3.3 SEISMIC INSTRUMENTATION l

The OPERABILITY of the seismic instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly determine the magnitude of a seismic event and evaluate the response of those features important to safety.

This J

capability is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis for the facility to determine if plant shutdown is required pursuant to Appendix "A" of 10 CFR Part 100.

The instrumentation is consistent with the recommendations of Safety Guide 12, " Instrumentation for Earthquakes," March, 1971.

L 3/4.3.3.4 METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION 1

l The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that j

sufficient meteorological data is available for estimating potential I

radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release L

of radioactive materials to the atmosphere.

This capability is required to evaluate the need for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.23 "Onsite Meteorological Programs," Feburary 1972.

3/4.3.3.5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of' the remote shutdown instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT STANDBY:of the facility from locations outside of the control room.

This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost and is consistent with General Design Criteria 19 of 10 CFR 50.

r-3/4.7 PLANT SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.7.1 TURBINE CYCLE l'

3/4.7.1.1 SAFETY CYCLES The OPERABILITY of the main steam line code safety valves ensures l

that the secondary system pressure will be limited to within 110% of its j

design pressure of 1000 psig during the most severe anticipated system operational transient.

The maximum relieving capacity is associated with a turbine trip from 100% RATED THERMAL POWER coincident with an assumed loss j

of condenser heat sink (i.e., no steam bypass to the condenser).

1 1

The specified valve lift settings and relieving capacities are in accordance with the requirements of Section III of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Code, 1971 Edition.

The "as-found" requirements are conservative l

with respect to Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1986 Edition, and Addenda through 1987.

The total relieving capacity for l

all valves on all of the steam lines in 14,799,360 lbs/hr which is 118.7 generator ensures that sufficient relieving capacity is available for percent of the total ~ secondary steam flow of 12, 463,439 lbs/hr at 100%

RATED THERMAL POWER.

A minimum of 2 OPERABLE safety valves per steam l

j removing decay heat.

]

E<

j STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATION is allowable with safety valves l

inoperable within the limitations of the ACTION requirements on the basis l

of the reduction in secondary system steam flow and THERMAL POWER required by the reduced reactor trip settings of the Power Level-High channels.

The reactor trip setpoint reductions are derived on the following bases:

-For two loop operation j

SP = (X) -

) x (125) c For single loop opetation (two reactor coolant pumps operating in the same loop) l l

Sp = (X) - (Y)(U) x (,,)
