i Whenever the results of any steam generator tubing inservice inspection fall into Category C-3, these results will be promptly reported to the Cossalssion pursyant to Specification 6.9.4 prior to resumption of plant operation. Such cases will be considered by the Commission on a case-by-cese basis and may result in a requirement for analysis, laboratory examinations, tests.

additional eddy-current inspection, and revision of the Technical Specifications, if necessary.

3/4.4.11 Main Coolant System Vents Main coolant system vents are provided to exhaust noncondensable gases and/or steam from the primary system that could inhibit natural circulation core cooling. The OPERABILITY of at least one main coolant system vent path from

~,

the reactor vessel head or the pressuriser steam space ensures the capability exists to perform this function.

The redundancy of the main coolant system vent paths, the normally closed valves and the open valve circuit breakers serve to minimise the probability of inadvertant 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 main coolant l

system vent systems are consistent with the requirements of Item II.B.1 of NUREG-0737, " Clarification of THI Action plan Requirements " November 1980.
