  • and closed ** for each vent path from the following locations:

a.

Reactor Vessel Head b.

Pressurizer Steam Space APPLICABILITY:

MODES 1, 2, 3 and 4 1

ACTION:

a.

With at least one vent path from each of the above locations OPERABLE and one or more power operated vent valves inoperable, STARTUP and/or POWER OPERATION may continue provided the inoperable valve (s) is maintained closed with power removed or with the manual isolation valve closed.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS

~

4.4.12 Each reactor coolant system vent path shall be demonstrated OPERABLE at least once per 18 months by:

BEAVER VALLEY - UNIT 1 3/4 4-32 Amendment No.105 c--

n-

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM SURVEILLANCF_ REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 1.

Verifying all manual isolation valves in each vent path are locked or sealed in the open position.

2.

Cycling each valve in the vent path through at least one complete cycle of full travel from the control room.

3.

Verifying flow through the reactor coolant system vent path to the Pressurizer Relief Tank.

For purposes of this specification an inoperable vent valve is defined as:

a valve which exhibits leakage in excess of Specification 3.4.6.2

limits, or cannot be opened and closed on demand, or does not have its normal emergency power supply OPERABLE.

These valves may be operated for required venting operations and leak testing in Modes 3 and 4.

BEAVER VALLEY - UNIT 1 3/4 4-33 Amendment No.105

REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES 3/4.4.12 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM VENTS Reactor Coolant System Vents are provided to exhaust noncondensible and/or steam from the primary system that could inhibit natural gases circulation core cooling.

The OPERABILITY of at least one reactor coolant system vent path from the reactor vessel head and the pressurizer steam

space, ensures the capability exists to perform this function.

The valve redundancy of the reactor coolant system vent paths serves to minimize the probability of inadvertent or irreversible actuation while ensuring that a single failure of a vent valve, power supply or control system does not prevent isolation of the vent path.

The

function, capabilities, and testing requirements of the reactor systems are consistent with the requirements of coolant system vent Item II.B.1 of NUREG-0737,

" Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements", November 1980.
