J INSTRUMENTATION BASES REACTOR TRIP SYSTEM and ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATUP.ES ACTUATION SYSTEM INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) spray pumps start and automatic valves position, (6) containment isolation, (7) steam line isolation, (8) Turbine trip, (9) auxiliary feedwater pumps start and automatic valves position,-(10) nuclear service water pumps start and automatic valves position, and (11) component cooling pumps start and automatic valves position.

The-Engineered Safety Features Actuation System interlocks perform the following functions:

P-4 Reactor tripped - Actuates Turbine trip, closes main feedwater valves on T below Setpoint, prevents the opening of the main avg feedwater valves which were closed by a Safety Injection or High Steam Generator Water Level signal, allows safety injection block so that components can be reset or tripped.

Reactor not tripped prevents manual block of Safety Injection.

P-11 Defeats the manual block of Safety Injection actuation on low pres-surizer pressure and low steam line pressure and defeats steam line isolation on negative steam line. pressure rate.

Defeats the manual block of the motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps on trip of main feedwater pumps and low-low steam generator water level.

P-12 On decreasing reactor coolant loop temperature, P-12 automatically blocks steam dump and allows manual bypass of steam dump block for the cooldown valves only.

On increasing reactor coolant loop temper-ature, P-12 automatically defeats the manual bypass of the steam dump block.

P-14 On increasing steam generator level, P-14 automatically trips all feedwater isolation valves, purgs and turbine and inhibits feedwater control valve modulation.

Surveillance for the Reactor Ti.p Bypass Breakers are included in response to the NRC's Generic Letter 85-09, dated May 23, 1985.

3/4.3.3 MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION 3/4.3.3.1 RADIATION MONITORING FOR PLANT OPERATIONS The OPERABILITY of the radiation monitoring instrumentation for plant operations ensures that:

(1) the u sociated action will be initiated when the radiation level monitored by each channel or combination thereof reaches its Setpoint, (2) the specified coincidence logic is maintained, and (3) suffi-cient redundancy is maintained to permit a channel to be out-of-service for testing or maintenance.

The radiation monitors for plant operations senses radiation levels in selected plant systems and locations and determines whether or not predetermined limits are being exceeded.

If they are, the signals are combined into logic matrices sensitive to combinations indicative of various accidents and abnormal conditions.

Once the required logic combination is completed, the system sends actuation signals to initiate alarms or automatic isolation action and actuation of Emergency Exhaust or Ventilation Systems.

Amendment No.57 (Unit 2)

INSTRUMENTATION BASES 3/4.3.3.2 MOVABLE INCORE DETECTORS The OPERABILITY of the movable incore detectors with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the core.

The OPERABILITY of this system is demonstrated by irradiating each detector used ed determining the acceptability of 'ts voltage curve.

For the purpose of measuring F (Z) or F a full incore flux map is used.

q H

Quarter-core flux maps, as defined in WCAF-8648, June 1976, may be used in recalibration of the Excore Neutron Flux Detection System, and full incore flux maps or symmetric incore thimbles may be used for monitoring the QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO when.one Power Range channel is inoperable.

3/4.3.3.3 SEISMIC INSTRUMENTATION I

The OPERABILITY of the seismic instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly cetermine 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 facility to determine if plant shutdown is required pursuant to Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 100.

The instrumentation is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.12, " Instrumentation for Earth-quakes," April 1974.

3/4.3.3.4 METEOROLOGICAL INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive 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 and is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.23, "Onsite Meteorological Programs," February 1972.

3/4.3.3.5 REMOTE SHUTDOWN SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the Remote Shutdown System ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit safe shutdown 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 Criterion 19 of 10 CFR Part 50.

The OPERABILITY of the Remote Shutdown System ensures that a fire will not preclude achieving safe shutdown.
