INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.2 ISOLATION ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.3.2 The isolation actuation instrumentation channels shown in Table 3.3.2-1 shall be OPERABLE with their trip setpoints set consistent with the values shown in the Trip Setpoint column of Table 3.3.2-2 and with ISOLATION SYSTEM RESPONSE TIME as shown in Table 3.3.2-3.

APPLICABILITY:

As shown in Table 3.3.2-1.

ACTION:

With an isolation actuation instrumentation channel trip setpoint a.

less conservative than the value shown in the Allowable Values column of Table 3.3.2-2, declare the channel inoperable until the channel is restored to OPERABLE status with its trip setpoint adjusted consistent with the Trip Setpoint value.

b.

With the number of OPERABLE channels less than required by the Minimum OPERABLE Channels per Trip System requirement for one trip sys. tem, place the inoperable channel (s) and/or that trip system in the tripped condition

  • within one hour. The provisions of Specification 3.0.4 are not applicable.

With the number of OPERABLE channels less than required by the Minimum c.

OPERABLE Channels per Trip System requirement for both trip systems, i

place at least one trip system ** in the tripped condition within one hour and take the ACTION required by Table 3.3.2-1.

1

  • An inoperable channel need not be placed in the tripped condition where this would cause the Trip Function to occur.

In these cases, the inoperable channel shall be restored to OPERABLE status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or the ACTION required by Table 3.3.2-1 for that Trip Function shall be taken.

00The trip system need not be placed in the tripped condition if this would cause the Trip Function to occur. When a trip system can be placed in the tripped condition without causing the Trip Function to occur, place the trip system with the most inoperable channels in the tripped condition; if both systems have the same number of inoperable channels, place either trip system in the tripped condition.
