3.5.5 ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION Acolicability.

Applies to the operability requirements for the instruments identified in' Table 3.5-2 and Taole 3.5-3 during STARTUP, POWER OPERATION and l

HOT STArOBY..

-Objectives To assure operability of key instrumentation useful in diagnosing situations which could represent or lead to inadequate core cooling -

or evaluate and predict the course of accidents beyond the design basis.

Specification 3.5.5.1 The minimum nurrber of channels identified for the instruments in l

Table 3.5-2, shall be OPERABLE. With the number of instrumentation channels less than the minimum required, restore the inoperable l

channel (s) to OPERABLE status within seven (7) days (48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> for i

(6) hours and in COLD SHUTDOWN within an additional 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />. Prior to starttp following a COLD SHUTDOWN, the minimum nurrber of channels.

shown in Table 3.5-2 shall be operable.

3.5.5.2 The channels identified for the instruments specified in Table 3.5-3 shall be OPERABLE. With the number of instrumentation channels less 1

than required, restore the inoperable channel (s) to OPERABLE in accordance with the action specified in Taole 3.5-3.

The saturation Margin Monitor provides a guid< and reliable means for j

determination of saturation temperature margins. Hand calculation of saturation pressure and saturation temperature margins can be easily and quickly performed as an alternate indication for the Saturation Margin Monitors.

Discharge flow from the two (2) pressurizer code safety valves and the PORV is mcasured by differential pr' essure transmitters connected across elbow taps downstream of each valve. A delta-pressure indication from each pressure transmitter is availaole in the control room to indicate code safety or relief valve line flow. An alarm is also provided in the control room to indicate that discharge from a pressurizer code safety or relief valve is occurring. In addition, an acoustic monitor is provided to detect flow in the PORV discharge line. An alarm is provided in the control room for the acoustic monitor.

3-40a Amendment'No. 7E, 100

7 The Emergency'F6edwater System is providid with two channels of flow Linstrumentation on each of tne two, discharge lines. Local flow indication is also available for' the. emergency feedwater system.

l Although the pressurizer has multiple level indications, the separate

' indications are selectable via a switch for display on a single display.

- Pressurizer level, however, can also be determined via the patch panel and the

- computer log..-In addition, a second channel of pressurizer level indication is available independent of the NNI..

Although the instruments identified in Table 3.5-2 are significant in diagnosing situations which could lead to inadequate core cooling, loss of any one of the instruments in Table 3.5-2 would not prevent continued, safe, reactor operation. Therefore, operation is justified for up to 7 days (48

~ hours for pressurizer level). Alternate indications are available for Saturation Margin Manitors using hand calculations, the PORV/ Safety Valve position monitors using discharge line thermocouple and Reactor Coolant Drain Tank indications, and for EFW flow using Steam Generator level and EFW pump discharge pressure. Pressurizer level has two channels, one channel from NNI

~

(3 D/P instrument strings through a single indicator) and one channel

. independent of the NNI. Operati6n with the aoove pressurizer level channels l

out of service is permitteo for up to 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />. Alternate indication would be

~

available through the plant computer.

Manitors for containment pressure, containment water level,.. containment hydrogen level and various high range radiation monitors are useful to evaluate and predict tne course of accidents which go beyond the plant design basis (See Table 3.5-3).

.These instruments should be maintained for that purpose.

' A'.;

, SURVEILLANCE STANDARDS Specified. intervals may be adjusted plus or minus 25 percent to accommodate normal test schedules..

4.1 OPERATIONAL SAFETY REVIEW Applicability Applies to items directly related to safety limits and limiting conditions for operation.

' Objective To specify the minimum frequency and type of surveillance to be applied to unit equipment and conditions.

Specification 4.'l.1 The minimum frequency and type of surveillance required for reactor protection system and engineered safety feature protection system instrumentation when the reactor is critical shall oe as stated in Table 4.1-1.

4.1.2 Equipment and sampling test shall be performed as detailed in Tables 4.1-2 and 4.1-3.

4.1.3 Each post' accident monitoring intrumentation channil shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of the check, test and calibration at th.e frequencies shown in Table 4.1-4.

Bases Check Failures such as blown instrument fuses, defective indicators, or faulted amplifiers which result in " upscale" or "downscale" ir:dication can be easily recognized by sinple' observation of the functioning of an. tastrument or system. Furthermore,' sucn failures are, in many cases, revealed by alarm or annuciator action. Comparison of output and/or state of independent channels measuring the same variable stpplements this type of built-in surveillance.

Based.on experience in operation o when the unit is in operation, tfief Loth conventio'nal and nuclear systems, minimum checking frequency stated is deemed adequate for reactor system instrumentation.

Calibration Calibration shall be performed to assure tne presentation and acquisition of accurate information. The nuclear flux (power range) channels amplifiers shall be checked and calibrated if necessary, every shift against a heat balance standard. The frequency of heat calance checks will assure that the difference between the out-of-core instrumentation and the heat balance remains less than 4%.
