RPS Instrumentation B 3.3.1 BASES ACTIONS (continued)

The additional hour provides sufficient time to accomplish the action in an orderly manner. With the RTBs open, the Manual Reactor Trip Function is no longer required.

D.1 and D.2 Condition D applies to the following reactor trip Functions:

"* Power Range Neutron Flux-High;

"* Power Range Neutron Flux-Low;

"* Overtemperature AT;

"* Overpower AT;

"* Pressurizer Pressure-High;

"* SG Water Level-Low Low; and

"* SG Water Level - Low coincident with Steam Flow/Feedwater Flow Mismatch.
