Basis i

The operability of the event monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient i

information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables during and following an accident. This capability is consistent

with the recommendations of NUREG-0578, "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Peport and Short Term Recommendations."

l l Core exit thermocouple readings necessary to meet the requirements of Specifica-tion 3.15.A are availabic from the Plant Process Computer, the Control Room Core l Exit Thermocouple Display or if no other readout is available, from test equip-ment readings from the Core Exit Thermocouple Junction Boxes.

  • - A common acoustic sensor provides backup position indication for each pressurizer power operated l relief valve and its associated block valve. -
    • - The acoustic sensor channel is common to both valves. When operable, the acoustic sensor may be l considered as an operable channel for each valve.
