During the release of gaseous wastes from the waste gas holdup system of Unit 2, and the offgas system of Unit 1, at least one monitor in each process stream shall be operating and set to alarm and to initiate the automatic closure of a discharge valve prior to exceeding the limits specified in 2.4.2.2.D above. The operability of the automatic isolation valve shall be demonstrated quarterly for each unit.

G.

During operation of the augmented offgas system of Unit 1, if the hydrogen concentration reaches an alarm set point of 4% by volume, the concentration shall be reduced to less than 4% or the offgas l
