RCS Leakage Detection Instrumentation B 3.4.7 BASES BACKGROUND     The Drywell floor drain in-leakage is monitored by the P45 (continued) floor drain sump level transmitters and associated instrumentation. The leakage and change in leakage can be determined by monitoring the associated computer point or recorders which calculate leakage based on the level rate of change.
