1.7 INSTRUMENTATIONSURVEILLANCE

1) CHA'NNEL CHECK CHANNEL CHECK is a qualitative determination of acceptable operability by observation of channel behavior during operation. This determination shall include, where possible, comparison of the channel with other independent channels measuring the same variable or radioactive source check of the Area and Process Radiation Monitoring Systems for channels.
2) CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST A CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST consists of injecting a real or simulated signal into the channel to verify that it is operable, including alarm and/or trip initiating action.
3) CHANNEL CALIBRATION CHANNEL CALIBRATION consists of the adjustment of channel output such that it responds, with acceptable range and accuracy, to known values of the parameter which the channel measures. Calibration shall encompass the entire channel, including alarm or trip, and shall be deemed to include the CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST.

1.8 SHUTDOWN

1) Cold Shutdown The reactor is in the cold shutdown condition when the reactor is subcritical by at least 1% hk/k and Tavg is less than 200 F.

1.20 GAS DECAY TANK SYSTEM The GAS DECAY TANK SYSTEM is designed and installed to reduce radioactive gaseous effluents by collecting primary coolant system offgases from the primary system and providing for delay or holdup for the purpose of reducing the total radioactivity prior to release to the environment.

1.25 VENTILATIONEXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM A VENTILATION EXHAUST TREATMENT SYSTEM is any system designed and installed to reduce radioactive material in particulate form in effluents by passing ventilation or vent exhaust gases through HEPA filters for the purpose of removing particulates from the gaseous exhaust stream prior to the release to the environment.

Such a system is not considered to have any effect on noble gas effluents.

Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) atmospheric cleanup systems are not considered to be ventilation exhaust treatment system components.

1.26 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP)

The PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM shall contain the provisions, based on full scale testing, to assure that dewatering of spent bead resins results in a waste form with the properties that meet the requirements of 10CFR61'(as implemented by 10CFR20) and of the low level radioactive waste disposal site at the time of disposal.
