All indications that are availabic will be noted at least once por shift, and adjustncnts will be At no tianc will the scran circuitry be disconnected made only if necessary. during operation. All rod scram tests will be nado during scheduled reactor-shutdoun or during various emergency shutdowris. Safety In.ioction System - Weekly, during power oparation, all of the pumps EvTivos of the safety injection system will be operated individ-nelly from the safety injection control panel in the centrol roon to determinc their serviceability and correct light position indication. The punps will bc op3 rated only en by-pass to the cafoty injection-shield ttnk cavity uator stor-l age tenk. Loop fill valvas will only be opened with the injection va]ve closed ti ght. All locked-open and locked-closed valves outside the vapor container .uill bc checked at the conclusion of the tests to verify their correct position. .1Tnonover the ret.ctor plant is shutdown and deprosuurized, t e entire system J h operntion will be checked by manual cperation of the. safety injection control Darveillanco f sid.tch provided on the nucler.r section of the nain control board. of the Safety Injection Actuation Signal (SIAS) Initiaticn Channels vill includo: 1. a comparison of tho separate pressure indicttions by each shift; 2. a, channel ; calibration ench refueling by applying known pressures to ecch sensor; 3 a sys-ten functional test each refueling by applicatien of, test signals to cach chanwl j to verify system ecpability; h. a nonthly operational check of the tuo contain-' mont air pressuro switches. Pressuriner Sperv Systm - In order te assure reliabic perfor; nance, the preocurizer curcc end circulation spray systems vill be tested periodically, preforably during the norm 1 stcrtup cperaticn. VThilo naiutaining normal oper-nting conditions in tha nnin coolant systen and the precouro' control and relief sysian, that is with surCc sprcy doonergized,. it is detcrnined that correct circulction sprny exists (band centrol valvo initia]1y positiened so cs to nain-tain pressurizar equilibriun ecuditions) by not5ng frequency of heator cycling while nainttdning pressuriner at nc=al values.

P2 ensurizer 23enoid Relief V91'.c - Th3 pressuricer solenoid relief valvo, which is provi(.cd to limit the duty of the pressurizer safety valves, will be tested after refueling or dter cenpletion of maintenance on this valve. The set pressure and the blowdown pressure shall be observed during the test operation and shall be compared with the design conditions. After the valv'a has discharged, note the downstrem pipe temperatures to assuro that the valve disc has preparly resented. The stcan pressure required to test the solenoid relief valvo is ob-tained by operation of the pressuricer heaterr. Scram Alrrms Chack Points and Instrumntation Calibrction Checks - l In order to assaro safe operaticn of tne plant, cortain instruncntation cII3cks ~ will be perfor:md periodically. Only thoso checks that can be made without d.isconnecting the serrm circuit during plant operation vill be parformed. No tests or chacks will be made on any equipnent if there is a possibility of initiating a' f nisc serm. All calibration vill be nada before starling or dur-int scheduled shutdoun pariods, except where calibraticn is required at a peuer Icycl. NOV 271974}}
