In addition to the Train A CVI, instrument malfunction alarms were received for 1-RM-90-106, Lower Containment Radiation Monitor and 1-RM-90-112, Upper Containment Radiation Monitor as the associated valves isolated for the CVI. A common instrument malfunction alarm was also received for 1-RM-90-130 and 1-RM-90-131, Containment Purge Exhaust Radiation Monitors. Prior to and following the invalid High Radiation alarm, all radiation monitors except 1-RM-90-130 were stable at their normal values. All required automatic actuations occurred as designed.
