FERMI - UNIT 2 3/4 3-62 Amendment No. 28

INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.4 ATVS RECIRCULATION PUMP TRIP SYSTEM ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION The anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) recirculation pump trip system provides a means of limiting the consequences of the unlikely occurrence of a failure to scram during an anticipated transient.

The response of the plant to this postulated event falls within the envelope of study events in General Electric Company Topical Report NE00-10349, dated March 1971, NE00-24222, dated December 1979, and Appendix 158.8 cf the FSAR.

Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the lifference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

3/4.3.5 REACTOR CORE ISOLATION COOLING SYSTEM ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION The reactor core isolation cooling system actuation instrumentation is provided to initiate actions to assure adequate core cooling in the event of reactor isolation from its primary heat sink and the loss of feedwater flow to the reactor vessel without providing actuation of any of the emergency core cooling equipment.

i Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within itt, specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal to or less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

3/4.3.6 CONTROL ROD BLOCK INSTRUMENTATION The control rod block functions are provided consistent with the requirements of the specifications in Section 3/4.1.4, Control Rod Program Controls and Section 3/4.2 Power Distribution Limits.

The trip logic is arranged so that a trip in any one of the inputs will result in a control rod block.

Operation with a trip set less conservative than its Trip Setpoint but within its specified Allowable Value is acceptable on the basis that the difference between each Trip Setpoint and the Allowable Value is equal to tr less than the drift allowance assumed for each trip in the safety analyses.

3/4.3.7 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.7.1 RADIATION MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring instrumentation ensures that; (1) the radiation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the individual chanr.11s; (2) the alarm or automatic action is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded; and (3) sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess these variables following an accident.

This capability is consistent with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix A, General Design Criteria 19, 41, 60, 61, 63, 64.

i FERMI - UNIT 2 8 3/4 3-3

INSTRUMENTATION BASES MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) 3.4.3.7.2 SEISMIC MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the seismic monitoring instrumentation ensures that suf-ficient capability is available to promptly determine the magnitude of a seismic event and evaluate the response of those features important to safety.

This capa-bility is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis for the unit.

This instrumentation is consistent with the recom-mendations of Regulatory Guide 1.12, "Instrumentation for Earthquakes," April 1974.

3/4.3.7.3 METEOROLOGICAL MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radia-tion doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radio-active materials to the atmosphere.

This capability is required to evaluate the need for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public.

This instrumentation is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.23, "Onsite Meteorological Programs," February, 1972.

3/4.3.7.4 REMOTE SHUTOOWN SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS The OPERABILITY of the remote shutoown monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT SHUTDOWN of the unit from locations outside of the contiol room.

This capability is required in the event control room habitability is lost and is con;istent with General Design Criterion 19 of 10 CFP. Part 50, 3/4.3.7.5 ACCIDENT MONITORING IhSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that sufficient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess important variables following an accident.

This capability is con-sistent with the recommendaticns of Regulatory Guide 1.97, "Instrumentation for Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assest Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident," December 1975 and NUREG-0737, "Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements," November 1980.

The multiple noble gas monitors installed on each division of the Standby Gas Treatment System provide the necessary monitoring capabilities to assure that the normal and extended monitoring ranges required by NUREG-0737 and Regulatory Guide 1.97 are met.

3/4.3.7.6 SOURCE RANGE MONITORS The source range monitors provide the operator with information of the status of the neutron level in the core at very low power levels during startup and shutdown.

At these power levels, reactivity additions shall not be made without this flux level information available to the operator.

When the inter-mediate range monitors are on scale, adequate information is available without the SRMs and they can be retracted.

3/4.3.7.7 TRAVERSING IN-CORE PROBE SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the traversing in-core probe systea with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core.

The TIP system OPERABILITY is demonstrated by normalizing all probes (i.e.,

detectors) prior to performing an LPRM calibration function.

Monitoring core thermal limits may involve utilizing individual detectors to monitor selected areas of the reactor core, thus all detectors may no~t be required to be OPERABLE.

The OPERABILITY of individual detectors to be used for monitoring is demonstrrted by comparing the detector (s) output with data obtained durin0 the previous LPRM calibration.
