s. 2 Flux / Inoperative functions are not listed as requirements in NUREG-1433. This function is not required due to adequate protection from other trips and rod blocks. Therefore, the licensee's proposal is in conformance with the latest staff reconnendations and is acceptable.

The second change proposed by the licensee corrects an editorial error introduced in a previous amendment. Therefore. the licensee's proposal is acceptable.

Regarding the third and fourth changes proposed by the licensee, the licensee's new note requires verification of adequate overlaps between SRM/IRM and IRM/APRM instrumentation. -This new requirement enhances safety by-ensuring -

that reactor power will not be increased or decreased into a new neutron flux region without adequate indication. Therefore, the licensee's proposal is acceptable. The associated Bases provided for this new surveillance requirement provides adequate information for plant operators to determine the basis for the new surveillance and is therefore acceptable. Also, the Bases clarification provided by the licensee is acceptable since it explicitly states the relationship between the APRMs.
