3.2 BASES (Cont'd)

Pressure instrumentation is provided to close the main steam isolation valves in RUN Mode when the main steam line pressure drops below R50 psig.

The Reactor Pressure Vessel thermal transient due to an inadvertent opening of the turbine bypass valves when not in the RUN Mode is less severe than the loss of feedwater analyzed in section 14.5 of the FSAR therefore, closure of the Main Steam Isolation valves for thermal transient protection when not in RUN Mode is not required.

The HPCI high flow and temperature instrumentation are provided to detect a break in the HPCI steam piping.

Tripping of this instrumentation results in actuation of HPCI isolation valves.

/

Tripoing logic for the high flow is 1 out of 2 logic.

Temperature is monitored at four (4) locations with four (4) temperature sensors at nach location.

Two (2) sensors at each location are powered by "A" DC control bus and two (2) by "B" DC control bus.

Each pair of sensors, e.g.,

"A",or "B" at each location are physically separated and the tripping of either "A" or "B" bus sensor will actuate HPCI isolation valves.

The trip settings of < 100% of design flow for high flow and 200 degrees F for high temperature are such that core uncovery is prevented and fission product release is within limits.

The RCIC high flow and temperature instrumentation are arranged the same as that for the HPCI.

The trip setting of < 100% for high flow and 200 degrees F for temperature are based on the same' criteria as the HPCI.

1 The Reactor Water Cleanup System high flow instrumentation is arranged similar to that for the HPCI System.

The trip settings are such that core uncovery is prevented and fission product release is maintained l

within limits.

The high temperature instrumentation downstream of the non-regenerative heat exchanger is provided to protect the ion exchange resin in the domineralizer from damage due to hiqh temperature.

Such damage could impair the resins' ability to remove impurities from the primary coolant and possibly result in the release of previously captured impurities back into the coolant in large concentrations.

The instrumentation which initiates CSCS action is arranged in a dual bus system.

As for other vital instrumentation arranged in this fashion, the Specification preserves the effectiveness of the system even during periods when maintenance or testing is being performed.

An exception to this is when logic functional testing is being performed..

[

The control rod block functions are provided to prevent excessive control rod withdrawal so that MCPR does not decrease to the fuel i

cladding integriAy safety limit.

The trip logic for this function is 1 out of nt e.g., any trip on one of 6 APRM's, 8 IRM's, or 4 SRM's will result in a rod block.

The minimun instrument channel requirements assure sufficient instrumentation to assure the single failure criteris is met.

The minimum instrument channel requirements for the RBM cay be reduced by one for maintenance, testing or calibration. This t ime period is only 3% of the operating time in a month and does,not sigiificantly increase the risk of preventing an inadvertent contrcl rod withdrawal.

PBAPS 3.2 pASES (Cont'd)

Pressure instrumentation is provided to close the main steam isolation valves in RUN Mode when the main steam line pressure drons below R50 psig.

The Reactor Pressure Vessel thermal transient due to an inadvertent opening of the turbine bypass valves when not in the RUN Mode is less severe thgn the loss of feedwater analyzed in section 14.5 of the FSAR: therefore, ciosure of the Main Steam Isolation valves for thermal transient protection when not in RUN Mode is not reauired.

The HPCI high flow and temperature instrumentation are provided to detect a break in the HPCI steam pioing.

Tripoing of this instrumentation results in actuation of HPCI isolation valves.

Tripping logic for the high flow is 1 out of 2 logic.

Temperature is monitored at four (4) locations with four (4) temperature sensors at each location.

Two (2) sensors at each location are powered by "A" DC control bus and two (2) by "B" DC control bus.

Each pair of sensors, e.g., "A" or "B" at each-location are physically separated and the tripping of either "A" or "B" bus sensor will actuate HPCI isolation valves.

The trip settings of j,100% of design flow for high flow and 200 degrees F for high temperature are such that core uncovery is prevented and fission product release is within limits.

Th'e RCIC high flow and temperature instrumentation are arr0nged the same as that for the HPCI.

The trip setting of j,100% for high flow and 100 degrees F for temperature are based on the same' criteria as the HPCI.

The Reactor Water Cleanup System high flow instrumentation is arranged 1

similar to that for the HPCI System.. The trip settings are such that core uncovery is prevented and fission product release is maintained within limits.

The high temperature instrumentation downstream of the non-regenerative heat exchanger is provided to protect the ion exchange resin in the domineralizer from damage due to hiqh temperature.

Such damage.could impair the resins' ability to remove impurities from the primary coolant and possibly result in the release of previously captured impurities back into the coolant in large concentrations.

The instrumentation which initiates CSCS action is arranged in a dual bus system.

As for other vital instrumentation arranged in this fashion, the Specification preserves the effectiveness of the system even during' periods when maintenance or testing is being performed.

An exception to this is when logic functional testiny is being performed.

The control rod block functions are provided to prevent excessive control rod withdrawal so that MCPR does not decrease to the fuel-cladding integriAy safety limit.

The trip logic for this function is 1 out of na e.g., any trip on one of 6 APRM's, 8 IRM's, or 4 SRM's will result in a rod block.

The minimun instrument channel requirements assure sufficient

~

instrumentation to assure the single failure critoria is met.

The 6

minimum instrument channel requirements for the RBM may be reduced by i -

.one for maintenance, testing or calibration. /Riis time period is only 1% of the operating time in a month and does not significantly increase tho' risk of preventing an inadvertent control rod withdrawal.
