The Degraded Voltage Monitoring relay settings are based on the short term starting voltage protection as well as long term running voltago protection. The 4.16 KV undervoltage relay potpoints are based on the allowable starting voltage plus maximum system voltaan drops t a the motor terminals, which allows approximately 78% of motor rated voltage at tho mot or terminals. The 460V undervoltage relay sotpoint is based on long term motor voltage requirements plus the maximum feedor voltage drop allowance resulting in a 92% setting of motor rated voltage.

The OPERASILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient informat.fon is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and acness these variables during mid following an accident. This capability is consistent with the recommendation of Regulatory Guido 1.97,

" Instrumentation for I.ight-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accjdent," December 1975 and NUREG-0578, "THI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-Torm Recommendations."

Tito OPERABILITY of the chlorine detection system ensures that suf ficient capability is available to promptly detect and initiate protective action in the ovent of an accidental chlorine rolense. This capability is required to protect control ro.)m personnel and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guido 1.95. " Protection of Nuclear Power Plent Control Roes. Operators against an AccjJental Chlorfue Release,"

February 1975.

The subcooled margin monitors (SHM), core-exit thercoccuples (CET), Reactor vessel Level Monitoring System (RVLMS) and llot Leg Level Hensurement Systen.

(llLLMS) are a result of the Inadequate Core Cooling (ICC) instrumentation required by Item II.F.2 NUREG-0737. The function of the ICC instrumentation is to increase the ability of the plant operators to diagnose the approach to and recovely from 100. Additionally, this instrumentation aids in tracking react..r coolant inventory. These instruments are included in the Technical Specifications at the request of NRC Generic Letter 83 37 and are not required by the accident analysis, nor to bring the plant to cold shutdown conditions. The Reactor Vossal Level Monitor is provided as a means of Indicating level in the reactor vencel during accident conditions. The channel operability of the RVLMS is defined as a minimum of three sensors in the upper plenum region and two sensors in the dome region orntablo. When Roactor Coolant pumps are running, all except the dome sensors are interlocked to read " invalid" due to flow induced variables that may offset the sensor outputs. Tho channel operability of thn llLLMS is defined as a minimum of one wide range and any two of the narrow range transmitters in the sano channel operable. If the t equipment is inaccessible due to health and industrial safety concerns (for example, high radiation area, low oxygen content of the containment atmosphore) or dun to physical location cf the fault (for exemple, probe failure in thn teactor vessel), then operation may continue until the next scheduled refueling outage and a report filed.

3/i d M , POST-ACCIDENT INSTRUMENTATIQN Tho OPERABil.1TY of the post-accident in.trumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess ther.n variables following an accident. This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guido 1.97,

" Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Plants to Assess Plant Conditions Durit.g and Following an Accident," December 1975 and NUREG-0578, "THI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short Term Recommendatlons."

The Reactor Vessel I. cycl Monitor is provided as a means of indicating level in thn reactor vessel during accident conditions, A minimum of two operablo level sensors in the upper plenum region and *>ne operable level sensor in the dome region are required for RV1.MS channel operability.

When Reactor Coolant Pumps are running, all except the domo sensors are interlocked to road "invalfd" due to flow induced variables that may offset the sensor outputs. If the equipment is inaccessible due to health and industrial safety concerns (for examplo, high radiation area, low oxygen content of the containment atmosphero) or due to physical location of the fault (for example, probo failure in the reactor vessel), toer. operation may continue until the next scheduled refueling outage and a report filed.

3/4.3.3.7 CHLORINE DET];CTION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the chlorino detection system ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly detect and initiata protectivo action in the event cf an accidental chlorino release. This capability is required to protect control room personnel and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guido 1.95 " Protection of Nuclent Power Plant Control Room Operators Against an Accidental Chlorino Releaso," February 1975.

3/4.3.3.8 FIRE DEIECTION INSTRUMENTATION OPERAbiblTY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This capability is required in order to detect and locato fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damaga to safety-related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.

In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, except for detectors located in the containment during MODES 1 and 2, the establishment of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas as required to provido detection capability until the intperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY.
