Failure to Adequately Perform a TS Surveillance Unit 2 TS 4.3.1.1.-1, surveillance requirement for the reactor protection- U instrumentation, states that, "Each reactor protective instrumentation channel shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by-the performance of-the CHANNEL-CHECK, CHANNEL CALIBRATION and CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST operations for the modes and at the frequencies shown'in Table 4.3-1."

ql Item 3, " Logarithmic Power Level-High, in Table 4.3-1 states that'a

.j channel functional test is required prior- to a startup.

Contrary to the above, on June 27, 1990, the inspector identified that'an adequate channel functional test of the. logarithmic power level was not- .

performed prior to a plant startup in that the analog portion of the log  !

power circuit was not tested.
