Technical Speci fications Table 3.2-2 requi res that the pressure switch be set at a point corresponding to equal to or greater than 450 psig in the reactor. The p - ss ure swi tch provi des permi ssi ve to open the core sprrey and LPCI injection valves during depressurization as a result of a LOCA and the set point should be 450 plus a static head of 14.0 psi resulting in a minimum set point of 464 psig. The re d un dan t pressure switches (02-3-PS-52-B, C, and D) were found set within the limits of Technical Specification limits the re fo re , the event did not represent any signi ficant hazard to the public health and safety. Following recalibration to correct the instrument dri f t, the instrument was demonstrated operable later the same day by the successful completion of F- I S P 3 In addition, the surveillance f requency has been increased from once each conth to once each week until stable ope rat ion of the pressure switch has been demonstrateJ. i8751093}}
