INSTRUMENTATION BASES ~
3/4.3.3.'5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION l
The OPERABILITY of the remote shutdown instrumentation ensures that l
sufficient. capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance i
of HOT STANDBY of the facility from locations outside of the control room.
This capability is required in the event control room habitability-is lost and is consistent with General Design Criteria 19 of 10 CFR 50.
3/4.3.3.6 FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION OPERABILITY of the fire de'tection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection ot fires.
This capability is required in order to detect and locate 1
fires in their early stages.
Prompt detection of. fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety-related equipment and is an
' integral element in;the overall facility fire protection program.
In the event that a portion of,the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, the establishment of frequent fire patrols. or in-containment air temperature monitoring in the affected areas is required
.to provide detection capability until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERABILITY.
3/4.3.3.7 CHLORINE DETECTION SYSTEMS l
The OPERABILITY of the chlorine detection. system ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly detect and initiate l
protective action in the event of an accidental chlorine-release.
The' chlorine detection system will protect the control room operators I
by initiating control room isolation in a timely manner to assure the chlorine concentration in the control room does not exceed the toxicity limit of~ 15 ppm by volume within 2
minutes following detection.
This capability is required to protect control room l
personnel and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.95,." Protection of Nuclear Power Plant Control Room Operators Against an Accidental Chlorine Release", February 1975.
j 3/4.3.3.8 ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters assess these variables during and following an to monitor and ~
accident.
This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97,
" Instrumentation for Light-Water-Cooled Nuclear Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident",
December 1975 and NUREG-0578, "TMI-2 Lessons Learned Task Force Status Report and Short-Term Recommendations".
