• 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-f,hange power, variable high power and high pressurizer pressure)l which results in a one-out-of-three channel logic. If, in the 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 powert 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 visible on the wide-range nuclear instrumentation or above 10-% 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 Taole 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 duces the possibility for a failure to receive an automatic RAS actuation signal, the time period in the bypassed condition is 1 imited. 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 Qerform low power physics testing below normal operating temperatures. The requirement to maintain cold shutdown boron concentration when in the bypass condition provides additional assurance that an accidental criticality will not occur. To allow low power physics testing at reduced temperature and pressure, the requirement for cold shutdown boron fnOncentration is not required and the allowed power is increased to 10-%. Sixteen (four per core quadrant) environmentally qualified core exit (cable and connectors) with readout from 0 to 2300°F are provided for monitoring the potential approach to inadequate core cooling. The core exit thermocouples are an integral part of the incore detector assembly and are l-0cated at the top of each adsembly to measure primary coolant core outlet temperatures.
