These intervals may be adjusted plus or minus 25%.

The ooerotinn cycle interval as pertaining to instrument and electrical surveillance shall never exceed 15 months.

In cases where the elapsed interval has exceeded 100% of the specified interval, the next surveillance interval shall commence at the end of the original specified interval.

FIRE SUPPRESSION WATER SYSTEM A fire suppression water system shall consist of a water source, pumps, and distribution piping with associated sectionalizing control or isolation valves.

Such valves include yard hydrant curb valves, the first valve ahead of the water flow alarm device on each sprinkler, hose standpipe or deluge system riser.

28. REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME i

Reactor trip system response time is the time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its trip setpoint at the channel sensor until deenergization of the scram pilot valve solenoids.

DAEC-1 from the manual scram push buttons and the reactor mode switch.

Each remainino subchannel has an input from at least one independent instrument channel which monitors a critical oarameter.

The outputs of the subchannels are combined in a 1 out of 2 looic:

i.e.,

an input signal on either one or both of the subchanrals will cause a trip system trip.

The outputs of the trip systems are arranged so that a trio on both trip systems is required to produce a reactor scram.

This system meets the intent of IEEE - 279 for Nuclear Power Plant Protection Systems.

The system has a reliability greater than that of a 2 out of 3 system and somewhat less than that of a 1 out of 2 system.

The measurement of response time at the specified frequencies provides assurance that the protective, isolation and emergency core cooling functions associated with each channel is completed within the time limit assumed in the accident analysis.

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

Sensor response time verification may be demonstrated by either: 1) inplace on-site or off-site test measurements, or 2) utilizing replacement sensors with certified response times.

With the exception of the Average Power Range Monitor (APRM) channels, the-Intermediate Range Monitor (IRM) channels, the Main Steam Isolation Valve closure and the Turbine Stoo Valve closure, each subchannel has one instrument channel.

When the minimum condition for operation on the number of operable instrument channels per untrinned orotection trip system is met or if it cannot be met and the affected protection trip system is placed in a tripped condition, the effectiveness of the protection system is preserved.
