Section 3.1.1 of the (ETS) requires, in part, that a continous temperature sensor with an accuracy of + 0.5*F over a range of 25-125*F shall be used at the discharge structure to measure cooling. cower blowdown. If the discharge structure temperature recorder becomes inoperative, _ the temperature sensors located on the a

inlet side of the condenser shall be~used as a backup. The accuracy of these sensors shall be + 1.0*F or-less.

Contrary to the above requirements, as _ of June 6,1980, written procedures had not been prepared nor implemented for the calibration of the discharge temperature monitoring system resistance temperature detectors (RIDS) nor for the calibration of the backup temperature monitoring system condenser inlet RIDS.

Corrective Action The existing loop calibration procedures for the referenced temperature monitoring systems will be revised to incorporate recertification' requirements for the RTDs which are included in these -loops.

Action Taken To Prevent Recurrence Instrument supervisory personnel have been notified to assure that all procedures that might be required to calibrate ETS sensors are available for use when required.
