3.4.3 Reactor Vent System The reactor vent system shall be operated at all times during reactor operation.

In addition, the vent system shall be operated until the stack monitor' indicates less than 10 counts per second (cps). Whenever the reactor vent system is operat-ing, air drawn through the reactor vent system shall be continuously monitored for gross concentration of radioactive gases. The output of the monitor shall be indicated and recorded in the control room. The reactor vent system shall be imediately secured upon detection of: a failure in the monitoring system, a failure of the absolute filter, or an unanticipated high stack count rate.

,' 3.4.4 Air Particulate Monitor The reactor cell environment shall be monitored by at least one air particulate monitor, capable of audibly warning personnel of radioactive particulate airborne contamination in the cell atmosphere.
