The APRM downscale trip is automatically bypassed when the IRM instrumentation is operable and not high.

' ll.

An' APRM will<be considered operable if there are at least 2 LPRM inputs per level and at least 14 LPRM inputs of the normal complement.

12.

This equation will be used in the event of operation with a maximum fraction of limiting power density (MFLPD) greater than the fraction of rated power (FRP), where FRP = fraction of rated thermal power (3293 MWt).

MFLPD = maximum fraction of limiting power density where the limiting power density is 13.4 KW/ft for all 8 x 8 fuel.

The ratio of PRP to MFLPD shall be set equal to 1.0 unless the actual operating value is less than the design value of 1.0, in which case the actual operating value will be used.

k=

Loop Recirculation flow in percent of design.

W is 100 for core flow of 102.5 million lb/hr or greater.

Delta W =

the difference between two loop and single loop effective recirculation drive flow rate at the same s

core flow.

During single loop operation, the i

reduction in trip setting (-0.66 delta W) is i

accomplished by correcting the flow input of the flow biased High Flux trip setting to preserve the original (two loop) relationship between APRM High Flux setpoint and recirculation drive flow or by adjusting the APRM Flux trip setting.

Delta W equals zero for two loop operation.

f Trip level setting is in percent of rated power (3293 MWt).

NOTES FOR TABLE 3.2.A 1.

Whenever Primary Containment integrity is required by Section 3.7, there shall be two operable or tripped trip systems for each function.

i l

2.

If the first column cannot be met for one of the trip systems, that trip system shall be tripped or the appropriate action listed below l

shall be taken:

A.

Initiate an orderly shutdown and have the reactor in Cold i

Shutdown Condition in 74 hours8.564815e-4 days <br />0.0206 hours <br />1.223545e-4 weeks <br />2.8157e-5 months <br />.

B.

Initiate an orderly load reduction and have Main Steam Lines j

isolated within eight hours.

C.

Isolate Reactor Water Cleanup System.

D.

Isolate Shutdown Cooling.

I j

3.

Instrument netpoint corresponds to 177.7" above top of active fuel.

4.

Instrument setpoint corresponds to 129.7" above top of active fuel.

j 5.

Two required for each steam line.

l 6.

These signals also start SBGTS and initiate secondary containment isolation.

i 7.,only required in Run Mode (interlocked with Mode Switch).

I At a radiation level of 1.5 times the normal rated power background, 8.

an alarm will be tripped in the control room to alert the control l

room operators to an increase in the main steam line tunnel 1

radiation level.

9.

In the event of a loss of ventilation in the main steam line tunnel j

area, the main steam line tunnel exhaust duct high temperature j

setpoint may be raised up to 250 degrees F for a period not to l

exceed 30 minutes to permit restoration of the ventilation flow.

]

During the 30-minute period, an operator shall observe control room j

indications of the duct temperature so in the event of rapid increases (indicative of a steam line break) the operator shall i

promptly close the main steam line isolation valves.

test with the reactor power at greater than 20% rated pwer, the

normal full power radiation background level and associated trip i

setpoints may be changed based on a calculated value of the radiation level expected during the test.

The background radiation j

level and associated trip setpoints may be adjusted during the' test program based on either calculations or measurements of actual i

i radiation levels resulting from hydrogen injection.

radiation level shall be determined and associated trip setpoints shall be set within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of re-establishing normal radiation levels after completion of the test program, and within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of establishing reactor power levels below 20% rated power.
