On April 5,1998 during the Unit 1 Rcfueling Outage, heat detection for the Unit 1 Containment East and West Reactor Coolant Pump Motor Bays was removed from service. It was removed to support overhaul of the Nos. I1 A and 12B Reactor Coolant Pump Motors and could not be restored within the 14 days required by the Technical Specification 3.3.3.7 Action (b).
PLAN AND SCHEDULES FOR RESTORING TIIE INSTRUMENTATION TO OPERABLE STATUS The Fire Detection Instrumentation in the Unit 1 Containment East and West Reactor Coolant Pump Motor Bays will be restored to OPERABLE status when repairs to the Nos. II A and 12B Reactor j
Coolant Pump Motors are completed. This work will be completed prior to the Unit I startup. In accordance with the Technical Specification 3.3.3.7 Action (a), compensatory actions will remain in effect until the fire detection instrumentation is restored to OPERABLE status.
