PAM Instrumentation B 3.3.3 BASES LCO 5. Reactor Coolant System Pressure (Wide Range) (continued) to make a determination on the nature of the accident in progress and where to go next in the procedure.
RCS pressure is also related to three decisions about depressurization.
They are:
" to determine whether to proceed with primary system depressurization;
" to verify termination of depressurization; and
" to determine whether to close accumulator isolation valves during a controlled cooldown/depressurization.
A final use of RCS pressure is to determine whether to operate the pressurizer heaters.
RCS pressure is a Type A variable because the operator uses this indication to identify events and to monitor the cooldown of the RCS following a steam generator tube rupture (SGTR) or small break LOCA.
Operator actions to maintain a controlled cooldown, such as adjusting steam generator (SG) pressure or level, would use this indication.
