a 3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 and 3/4.3.2 REACTOR PROTECTIVE AND ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEMS INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Protective and Engineered Safety Features Actuation Systems instrumentation and bypasses ensures that (1) the associated Engineered Safety Features Actuation action and/or reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter tonitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained, (3) sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out of service for testing or maintenance, and (4) sufficient system functional capability is available from diverse parameters.

The OPERABILITY of these systems is required to provide the overall reliability, redundancy, and diversity assumed available in the facility design for the protection and mitigation of accident and transient conditions.

The integrated operation of each of these systems is consistent with the assumptions used in the safety analyses.

The redundancy design of the Control Element Assembly Calculators (CEAC) provides reactor protection in the event one or both CEACs become inoperable.

If one CEAC is in test or inoperable, verification of CEA position is performed at least every 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br />.

If the second CEAC fails, the CPCs will use DNBR and LPD penalty factors to restrict reactor operation to some maximum fraction of RATED THERMAL POWER.

If this maximum fraction is exceeded, a reactor trip will occur.

The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is maintained comparable to the original design standarcs.

The periodic surveillance tests performed at the minimum frequencies are sufficient to demonstrate this capability.

The quarterly fre-quency for the channel functional tests for these systems comes from the analy-ses presented in topical report CEN-327: RPS/ESFAS Extended Test Interval Evaluation, as supplemented.

The treasurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the protective and ESF action function associated with each channel is Completed within the time limit assumed in the safety analyses.

No credit was taken in the analyses for those channels with response times indicated as not applicable.

Response time may be demonstrated by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total channel test treasurements provided that such tests demonstrate the total channel response time as defined.

Sensor response tin,e verification say be demonstrated by either (1) in place, onsite, or offsite test measurements or (2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times.

3/4.3.3 MDNITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.3.1 RADIATION M3NITORING INSTRUMENTATION ine OPERASILITY of the radiation monitoring channels ensures that:

(2) the raciation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the WATERFOC - UN:T 3 E 3/4 3-2 MENOMENT ND.69

INSTRUMENTATION BASES individual channels; (2) the alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded; and (3) sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident. This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, " Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant and Environs Conditions During and Following an Accident," December 1980 and NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," November 1980.

3/4.3.3.2 INCORE DETECTORS This section has been deleted.

3/4.3.3.3 SEISMIC INSTRUMENTATION 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 capability is required to permit ccmparison 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 Regulatory Guide 1.12, " Instrumentation for Earthquakes," April 1974.

3/4.3.3.4.

METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release 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," February 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 Criterion 19 of 10 CFR Part 50.
