INSTRUMENTATION BASES MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) 3/4.3.7.4 REMOTE SHUTDOWN INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS The OPERABILITY of the remote shutdown monitoring instrumentation and controls ensures that sufficient capability is available to permit shutdown and maintenance of HOT SHUTDOWN of the unit 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.

3/4.3.7.5 ACCIDENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The OPERABILITY of the accident monitoring instrumentation ensures that suffi-cient information is available on selected plant parameters to monitor and assess important variables following an accident. This capability is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.97, " Instrumentation for Light Water Cooled Nuclear Power Plants to Assess Plant Conditions During and Following an Accident,"

December 1975 and NUREG-0737, " Clarification of TMI Action Plan Requirements,"

November 1980. The CHANNEL CHECK for the Primary Containment Isolation Valve'

. Position consists of the verification that indication of valve position (open or closed) can be determined by the valve position lights in the control room. The CHANNEL CALIBRATION for the Primary Containment Isolation Valve Position consists of the Position Indicator Test (PIT), which is conducted in accordance with Specification 4.0.5.

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 shut-down. At these power levels, reactivity additions shall not be made without this flux level information available to the operator. When the intermediate range monitors are on scale, adequate information is available without the SRMs and they can be retracted.

The SP,Ms are required OPERABLE in OPERATIONAL CONDITION 2 to provide for rod block capability, and are required OPERABLE in OPERABLE CONDITIONS 3 and 4 to provide monitoring capability which provides diversity of protection to the mode switch interlocks.

3/4.3.7.7 TRAVERSING IN-CORE PROBE SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the traversing in-core probe system with the specified

~

minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this equipment accurately represent the spatial gama flux distribution of the reactor core. With less than the specified complement of equipment, the spatial gama flux distribution of the reactor core can still be accurately represented by using replacement data from symetrical strings (LPRM locations), provided the conditions specified in the LC0 are met.

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 not be required to OPERABLE. The OPERABILITY of individual detectors to be used for monitoring is demonstrated by comparing the detector (s) output with data obtained during the previous LPRM calibrations.

-MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) 3/4.3.7.8 LOOSE-PART DETECTION SYSTEM The OPERABILITY of the loose part detection ~ system ensures that sufficient capability is available to detect loose metallic parts in the primary system and avoid or mitigate. damage to primary system components.. The allowable out-of-service times and surveillance requirements are consistent with the recommen-dations of Regulatory Guide 1.133 " Loose Part Detection Program for the Primary System of Light-Water-Cooled Reactors," May 1981.

3/4.3.7.9 RADIOACTIVE LIQUID EFFLUENT MDNITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive liquid effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in liquid effluents during actual or potential releases of liquid effluents.

The alare/

trip setpoints for.these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures in the ODCM to ensure that the alare/ trip will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

The OPERABILITY and use of this instru-mentation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

3/4.3.7.10 RADI0 ACTIVE GASEOUS EFFLUENT MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION The radioactive gaseous effluent instrumentation is provided to monitor and control, as applicable, the releases of radioactive materials in gaseous effluents during actual or potential releases of gaseous effluents.

The alarm setpoints for these instruments shall be calculated in accordance with the procedures in the ODCM to ensure that the alarm will occur prior to exceeding the limits of 10 CFR Part 20.

This instrumentation also includes provisions for' monitoring the concentrations of potentially explosive gas mixtures in the GASEOUS RADWASTE TREATMENT SYSTEM.

The OPERABILITY and use of this instrumen-tation is consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60, 63, and 64 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

3/4.3.8 TURBINE OVERSPEED PROTECTION SYSTEM This specification is provided to ensure that the turbine overspeed protection system instrumentation and the turbine speed control valves are d

OPERABLE and will protect the turbine from excessive overspeed.

Protection from turbine excessive overspeed is required since excessive overspeed of the turbine could generate potentially damaging missiles which could impact and damage safety related components, equipment or structures.

3/4.3.9 PLANT SYSTEMS ACTUATION INSTRUMENTATION The plant systems actuation instrumentation is provided to initiate action of the containment spray system in the event of a LOCA witn high containment PERRY.- UNIT 1 8 3/4 3-6
