BAMS FOR LIMITItC CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SUP/EILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.3.G.2.c. Shutdown Margin / Scram Time Testing (Continued) tion simulation switches provided in the RSCS for such purposes.

During the scram time testing, reactor conditions will be such that the reactor rod pattern will be in RSCS B group.

All A12 and A34 rods will be fully withdrawn, alternatively the rod pattern wlll be in RSCS group A and all B12 and 834 rods will be fully withdrawn.

To test A34 rods, it will be necessary to simulate all withdrawn B rods as being at the full in position, and for testing A12 rods, all A34 and all withdrawn B rods as being at the full in position.

The simulation of already withdrawn control rods in the 100% to 50% rod density range (Al2 and A34 or alternatively B12 and B34) as being full in to perform the individual rod test does not violate the intent of the RSCS since; (a) the single notch mode of rod withdrawal for rods in the 50%

density to preset power level will remain in effect until the preset power level has been achieved and the test procedure will require that this be verified; (b) no group B rods can be selected either for withdrawal or insertion during the time that an A12 or A34 rod is fully inserted or is simulated as being in the fully inserted position (similarly for the A group rods when the B sequence is chosen for startup and (c) all rod position simulation switch operations will be verified by a second independent check.

H.

Shutdown Reouirements Should circumstances be such that the Limiting Conditions for Operation as stated in Specifications 3.3. A through 3.3.G cannot be met, an orderly shutdown shall be initiated and the reactor placed in the Cold Shutdown condition within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

I.

Scram Discharge Volume Vent and Drain Valves The scram discharge volume vent and drain valves are required to be OPERABLE, so that the scram discharge volume will be available when needed to accept discharge water from the control rods during a reactor scram and will isolate the reactor coolant system from the containment wh3n required.
