VYNPS 3.2 (Continued) standby gas treatment system operation so that none of the activity released during the refueling accident leave the Reactor Building via the normal ventilation stack but that all activity is processed by the standby gas treatment system. Trip settings for the monitors in the ventilation duct are based upon initiation of the normal ventilation isolation and standby gas treatment system operation at a radiation level equivalent to the e ximum site boundary dose rate of 500 mrem / year as given in Specification 3.8.E.1.a. The monitoring system in the plant stack represents a backup to this system to limit gross radioactivity releases to the environs.

The purpose of isolating the mechanical vacuum pun.p line is to limit release of radioactivity from the main condenser. During an accident, fission products would be transported from the reactor through the main steam line to the main condenser. The fission prodcct radioactivity would be sensed by the main steam line radiation anonitors which initiate isolation.

Post-accident instrumentation parameters for Containment Pressure, Torus Water Level, Containment Hydrogen / Oxygen Monitor, and Containment High-Range Radiation Monitor, are redundant, environmentally and .

seismically qualified instruments provided to enhance the operators' ability to follow the course of an event.

The purpose.of each of these instruments is to provide detection and measurement capability during and following an accident as required by NUREG-0737 by ensuring coatinuous on-scale indication of the following: containment -

pressure in the O to 275 psia range; torus water level in the O to 25 foot range (i.e., the bottom to 5 feet above the normal water level of the torus pool); containment hydrogen / oxygen concentrations (0 to 30% hydrogen 7

and 0 to 25% oxygen); and containment radiation in the 1 R/hr to 10 R/hr gamma.

i The Degraded Grid Protective System has been installed to assure that safety-related electrical equipment will not be subjected to sustained degraded voltage. This system incorporates voltage relays on 4160 Volt Emergancy Buses 3 an4 ' 4 which are set to actuate at the minimum voltage required to prevent damage of safety-related equipment.

If Degraded Grid conditions exist for 10 seconds, either relay will actuate an als.rm to alert operators of this condition. Based upon an assessment of these conditions the operator may choose to manually disconnect the off-site power. In addition, if an ESF signal is initiated in conjunction with low voltage below the relay setpoint for 10 seconds, the off-site power will be automatically disconnected.
