$ESCRIPTION During the routine monthly surveillance testing of the RE22 0F OCCURRENCE: Main. Steam Line high flow sensors, it was observed that the RB22C and RE225 sensors actuated at a differential pressure

~o f 100 psi, one in cach of the two safety systems. This is

~

- gren'ter than the maximum allowable level of 97.5 psid which -

corresponds to a Main Steam Line flow 120% of rated.. .
