3/4.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.1 and 3/4.3.2 REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the Reactor Trip System and Engineered Safety Features Actuation System instrumentation and interlocks ensure that:

(1) the associated ACTION and/or Reactor trip will be initiated when the parameter monitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its Setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic and sufficient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out of service for testing or maintenance consistent with maintaining an appropriate level of reliability of the Reactor Protection and Engineered Safety Features instrumentation, and (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 re-liability, 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 assump-tions used in the accident analyses.

The Surveillance Requirements specified for these systems ensure that the overall system functional capability is main-tained comparable to the original design standards.

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

Specified surveillance intervals and surveillance and maintenance outage times have been determined in accordance with WCAP-10271, " Evaluation of Surveillance Frequencies and Det of Service Times for the Reactor Protection Instrumentation System," ano n g lements to that report.

Surveillance intervals and out of-service times were determined based on maintaining an appropriate level of reliability of the Reactor Protection Systein.

The Engineered Safety Features Actuation System senses selected plant parameters and determines whether or nui, preaetermined limits are being exceeded.

If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative ef various accidents, events, and transients.

Once i

I the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to those engineered safety features components whose aggregate function best serves the requirements of the condition.

As an example, the following a.ctions may be initiated by the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System to mitigate the consequences of a P.eam line creak or loss of coolant accident:

(1) safety injection pumps start and automatic valves position, (2) Reactor trip, (3) feed-water isolation, (4) startup of the emergency diesel generators, (5) containment spray pumps start and automatic valves position, (6) containment isolation, (7) steam line isolation, (8) Turbine trip, (9) auxiliary feedwater pumps start and automatic valve posi'. ion, (10) containment fan cooler units start, and (11) component cooling vater pumps start and automatic valves position.

l ESF response times specified in Table 3.3-5, which includa sequential operation of the RWST and VCT valves (Table Notations 4 and 5), are based on values assumed in the ncn-LOCA safety analyses.

These analyses take credit for injection of boratec weter from the RWST.

Injection of borated water is DIABLO CANYON - UNITS 1 & 2 B 3/4 3-1 Amendment Nos. 5I and 50 '

When the sequential operation of the Rt!ST and VCT valves is not included in the response times (Table Notation 7), the values specifCed are based on the LOCA analyses. The LOCA analyses takes credit for injection flow regardless of the source. Verification of the response times specified in Table-3.3-5 will assure that the assumptions used for the LOCA and non-LOCA analyses with respect to the operation of the VCT and RWST valves are valid.
