j The Amendment Application is required to permit digital rarliation monitor installation for both trains supplying the Containment Purge Isolation Signal d

(CPIS), and permit digital radiation monitor installation for both trains

[

i supplying the Control Room Isolation Signal (CRIS). Approval of this [

amendment will permit completion of Design Change Package 2&3-6926.01SJ, J

" Obsolete Equipment: Radiation Monitoring System Replacement Project." This i amendment does r.ot require revision of the Technical Specifications for SONGS Unit 2 or Unit 3.

The evaluation of the use of common software in redundant channels resulted in an unreviewed safety question during performance of the 10 CFR 50.59 Safety Evaluation for this design change. The unreviewed safety question only would exist when both trains of CRIS and CPIS radiation monitors are upgraded to the digital system. j
