TSPR9102
When all CROM clutches are de-energized, no control rods can be withdrawn, and the RPS function has been accomplished.
 
The safety analyses and the Shutdown definition use the assumption that one control rod will fail to insert on a trip. Therefore if only one control rod is capable of withdrawal, the safety analyses and shutdown margin definition will be met. When the reactor powei level indication reaches a nominal 15% of rated power, a bistable in the power range nuclear instrument circuitry deactivates the Wide Range Channel Rate of Power Change reactor trip and activates the Loss of Load reactor trip. When indicated power decreases below a nominal 15% of rated power, the Loss of Load trip is deactivated and the Rate of Power Change is reinstated.

These switching actions occur automatically.
Refueling boron concentration requires a 5% shutdown margin with all the control rods removed from the core. Therefore, there is no need for automatic control rod insertion.
The bistable which actuates the switching of these two trips is adjusted so that it actuates at an indicated power of 15+/-2%. This allows for to 1 erances in setting and for to 1 eran*ces in setting and for hysteresis in the bistable action. Neither the Rate of Power Change trip nor the Loss of Load trip are relied upon in the safety analyses. . Almost all reactor protection and engineered safeguards channels are supplied with sufficient redundancy to provide the capability for channel test at power. Exceptions are backup channels such as loss-of-load trip. *

When all CROM clutches are de-energized, no control rods can be withdrawn and the RPS function has been accomplished. The safety analyses and the Shutdown Margin definition use the assumption that one control rod will fail to insert on a trip.

Therefore, if only one control rod is capable of withdrawal, the safety analyses and shutdown margin definition will be met. When the reactor power level indication reaches a nominal 15% of rated power, a bistable ih the power range nuclear instrument circuitry deactivates the Wide Range Channel Rate of Power Change reactor trip and activates the Loss of Load reactor trip. When indicated power decreases below a nominal 15% of rated poweY', the loss of Load trip is deactivated and the Rate of Power Change is reinstated.

When indicated power decreases below a nominal 15% of rated poweY', the loss of Load trip is deactivated and the Rate of Power Change is reinstated. These switching actions occur automatically. The bistable which actuates the switching of these two trips is adjusted so that it actuates at an indicated power of 15+/-2%. This allows for tolerances in setting and for hysteresis in the bistable action. Neither the Rate of Power Change trip nor the Loss of Load trip are relied upon in the safety analyses.

If the bypass is not effected, the out-of-service channel (Power Removed) assumes a tripped condition (except high rate-of-change     power, variable high power and high pressurizer pressure}, <1 > which results in a one-out-of-three channel logic. If, in the 2 of 4 logic system of either the reactor protective system or the engineered safeguards system, one channel is bypassed and a second channel manually placed in a tripped condition, the resulting logic is 1 of 2. At rated power, the minimum operable variable high power level channels is 3 in order to provide adequate flux tilt detection. If only 2 channels are operable, the reactor power level is reduced to 70% rated power which protects the reactor from possibly exceeding design peaking factors due to undetected flux tilts.

Two source-range channels are available any time reactivity changes are . deliberately being introduced into the reactor and the neutron power is not visible on the wide-range nuclear instrumentation or above 10-4% of rated power. This ensures that redundant source-range instrumentation is available to operators to monitor effects of reactivity changes when neutron power levels are only visible on the source-range channels.

In the event only one source-tange channel is available and the neutron power level is sufficiently high that it is being monitored by both channels of wide-range instrumentation, a startup can be performed in accordance with footnote (d} of Table 3.17.4. The Recirculation Actuation System (RAS} initiates on a 1 out of 2 taken twice logic scheme. Any one channel declared inoperable shall be placed in a bypass condition to ensure protection from an inadvertent RAS actuation.

3.17 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS Applicability The instrumentation and control systems shall be operable under the following conditions: Table 3 .17 .1 When the PCS has less than Refueling Boron Concentration and more than one control rod is capable of being withdrawn, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.2 When the PCS temperature is ~ 325°F, except as allowed by the. permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.3 When the PCS is above Cold Shutdown, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.4 At all times, except as allowed by the permissable bypass conditions. Objective To delineate the conditions of the plant instrumentation and control systems necessary to assure reactor safety. Specifications 3.H.l In the event the number of channels of a particular system* in service falls below the limits given in the columns entitled "Minimum Operable Channels" or "Minimum Degree of Redundancy," except as conditioned by the column entitled "Permissible Bypass Conditions," the reactor shall be placed in a hot shutdown condition within 12 hours. If minimum conditions are not met within 24 hours, the reactor shall be placed in a cold shutdown condition within 24 hours. Basis During plant operations, the complete instrumentation systems will normally be in service. Reactor safety is provided by the reactor protection system, which automatically initiates appropriate action to prevent exceedin~ established limits. Safety is not compromised, however, by cont i nurng operation with cer.ta in instrumentation channels out of service since provisions were made for this in the plant design. This specification outlines limiting conditions for 

     * -- operation necessary to preserve the effectiveness of the reactor- -- -

control and protection system when any one or more of the channels are out of service. The Reactor Protective system is not required to be operable if there is no fuel in reactor vessel or PCS boron concentration is at Refueling Boron Concentration or if only one control rod is capable of being withdrawn. 3-76 Amendment No. TSPR9102

3.17 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS (Cont'd) Refueling boron concentration requires a 5% shutdown margin with all the control rods removed from the core. Therefore, there is no need for automatic control rod insertion. When all CROM clutches are de-energized, no control rods can be withdrawn, and the RPS function has been accomplished. The safety analyses and the Shutdown Mar~in definition use the assumption that one control rod will fail to insert on a trip. Therefore if only one control rod is capable of withdrawal, the safety analyses and shutdown margin definition will be met. When the reactor powei level indication reaches a nominal 15% of rated power, a bistable in the power range nuclear instrument circuitry deactivates the Wide Range Channel Rate of Power Change reactor trip and activates the Loss of Load reactor trip. When indicated power decreases below a nominal 15% of rated power, the Loss of Load trip is deactivated and the Rate of Power Change is reinstated. These switching actions occur automatically. The bistable which actuates the switching of these two trips is adjusted so that it actuates at an indicated power of 15+/-2%. This allows for to 1erances in setting and for to 1eran*ces in setting and for hysteresis in the bistable action. Neither the Rate of Power Change trip nor the Loss of Load trip are relied upon in the safety analyses. . Almost all reactor protection and engineered safeguards channels are supplied with sufficient redundancy to provide the capability for channel test at power. Exceptions are backup channels such as loss-of-load trip. *

  • When one of the four channels is taken out of service for .

maintenance, the protective system lo~ic can be changed to a two-out-of-three coincidence for a reactor trip by bypassing the removed channel. If the bypass is not effected, the out-of-service channel (Power Removed) assumes a tripped condition (except high rate-of-change.* power, variable high power and high pressurizer pressure),<l) which results in a one-out-of-three channel logic. If, in the 2 of 4 logic system of either the reactor protective system or the engineered safeguards system, one channel is bypassed and a second channel' - manually placed in a tripped conditioni the resulting logic is *1 of 2; At rated power, the minimum operab e variable high power level channels is 3 in order to provide adequate flux tilt detection. If only 2 channels are operable, the reactor power level is reduced to 70% rated power which protects the reactor from possibly exceeding design peaking factors due to undetected.flux tilts. 3-76a Amendment No. 11~, TSPR9102

3.17 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS (Contd) The engineered safeguards system provides a 2 out of 4 logic on the signal used to actuate the equipment connected to each of the 2 emergency diesel generator units. Two start-up channels are available any time reactivity changes are deliberately being introduced into the reactor and the neutron power is not visible on the wide-range nuclear instrumentation or above io-"% of rated power. This ensures that redundant source-range instrumentation is available to operators to monitor effects of reactivity changes when neutron power levels are only visible on the source-range channels. In the event only one source~range channel is available and the neutron power level is sufficiently high that it is being monitored by both channels of wide-range instrumentation, a

  • startup can be performed in accordance with footnote (d) of Table 3.17.4.

The Recirculation Actuation System (RAS) initiates on a 1 out of 2 take~ twice logic scheme. Any one channel declared inoperable shall be placed in a bypass condition to ensure protection from an inadvertent RAS actuation. Since the bypassing of a channel intro-duces the possibility for a failure to receive an automatic RAS actuation signal, the time period in the bypassed condition is limited. The Zero Power Mode Bypass can be used to bypass the low flow, steam generator low pressure, and TM/LP trips for all four Reactor Protective system channels to perform control rod testing or to perform low power physics testing below normal operating temperatures. The requirement to maintain cold shutdown boron concentration when in the bypass* condition provides additional assuranc~ that ~n accidental criticality will not occur. To allow low power physics testing at reduced temperature and pressure, the requirement for cold shutdown boron concentration is not required and the1 allowed power is increased to io- %.

A The instrumentation and control systems shall be operable under the following

condtti-ons-:- ----------------- --- - ------------- ---- -- -- - - -- -- -- ---- ------ -- - --- *-------- ------ - ---------- --- --------

Table 3.17.1 - When the PCS has less than Refueling Boron Concentration and more than one control rod is capable of being withdrawn, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.2 - When the PCS temperature is~ 325°F, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.3 - When the PCS is above Cold Shutdown, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. Table 3.17.4 - At all times, except as allowed by the permissible bypass conditions. B The Reactor Protective System is not required to be operable if there is no fuel in the reactor vessel, or when the PCS boron concentration is at Refueling Boron Concentration or if only one control rod is capable of being withdrawn.*

  • Refueling boron concentration requires a 5% shutdown margin with all the control rods removed from the core. Therefore, there is no need for automatic control rod insertion.

When all CROM clutches are de-energized, no control rods can be withdrawn and the RPS function has been accomplished. The safety analyses and the Shutdown Margin definition use the assumption that one control rod will fail to insert on a trip. Therefore, if only one control rod is capable of withdrawal, the safety analyses and shutdown margin definition will be met. When the reactor power level indication reaches a nominal 15% of rated power, a bistable ih the power range nuclear instrument circuitry deactivates the Wide Range Channel Rate of Power Change reactor trip and activates the Loss of Load reactor trip. When indicated power decreases below a nominal 15% of rated poweY', the loss of Load trip is deactivated and the Rate of Power Change is reinstated. These switching actions occur automatically. The bistable which actuates the switching of these two trips is adjusted so that it actuates at an indicated power of 15+/-2%. This allows for tolerances in setting and for hysteresis in the bistable action. Neither the Rate of Power Change trip nor the Loss of Load trip are relied upon in the safety analyses.

3.17 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL SYSTEMS (Contd} If the bypass is not effected, the out-of-service channel (Power Removed) assumes a tripped condition (except high rate-of-change power, variable high power and high pressurizer pressure}, <1 > which results in a one-out-of-three channel logic. If, in the 2 of 4 logic system of either the reactor protective system or the engineered safeguards system, one channel is bypassed and a second channel manually placed in a tripped condition, the resulting logic is 1 of 2. At rated power, the minimum operable variable high power level channels is 3 in order to provide adequate flux tilt detection. If only 2 channels are operable, the reactor power level is reduced to 70% rated power which protects the reactor from possibly exceeding design peaking factors due to undetected flux tilts. The engineered safeguards system provides a 2 out of 4 logic on the signal used to actuate the equipment connected to each of the 2 emergency diesel generator units. Two source-range channels are available any time reactivity changes are 

                  . deliberately being introduced into the reactor and the neutron power is not visible on the wide-range nuclear instrumentation or above 10-4% of rated power. This ensures that redundant source-range instrumentation is available to operators to monitor effects of reactivity changes when neutron power levels are only visible on the source-range channels. In the event only one source-tange channel is available and the neutron power level is sufficiently high that it is being monitored by both channels of wide-range instrumentation, a startup can be performed in accordance with footnote (d} of Table 3.17.4.

The Recirculation Actuation System (RAS} initiates on a 1 out of 2 taken twice logic scheme. Any one channel declared inoperable shall be placed in a bypass condition to ensure protection from an inadvertent RAS actuation. Since the bypassing of a channel intro-duces the possibility for a failure* to* receive an automatic RAS actuation signal, the time period in the. bypassed condition is limited. The Zero Power -Mode Bypass can be used to bypass the low. fl ow, steam. generator low pressure, and TM/LP trips for all four Reactor Protective system ch.~nnels to perform control rod testing or to perform low power physt~i~1:,~:,_sting below normal operating temperatures.
