~4 LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT EMiERGENCY COOLING SYSTEM 4.1.3 EMERGENCY COOLING SYSTEM~iii i iii: i App1 i es to the operating status of the emergency cooling system.iiiii Applies to periodic testing requirements for the emergency cooling system.Ob ective: To assure the capability, of the emergency cooling system to cool the reactor coolant in the event the normal reactor heat sink is not available.

Ob ective: To assure he capability of the emergency cooling system for cooling of the reactor coolant.S ecification:

a.During power operating conditions and whenever the reactor coolant temperature is greater than 212F, both emergency cooling systems shall be operable except as specified in 3.1.3.b and c.b.During Cycle 5, with one emergency cooling system inoperable, Specification 3.1.3.a shall be con-sidered fulfilled, provided the additional surveillance required is performed.

S ecification:

a~At least once ever five vears-The system heat removal capability shall be determined.

b.At least once dail The shell side water level and mak tank plater level.shall be checked.The emergency cooling system surveillance shall be performed as indicated.

below: c~During Cycle 6 and subsequent cycles'f one emergency cooling system becomes inoperable, Specification 3.1.3.a shall be considered fulfilled, pr'ovided that the inoperable system is returned to an operable condition within 7 days and the additional surveillance required is performed.

C.At 1 east once r month-The makeup tank level control valv shall be manually opened and close 47

LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENT Makeup water shall be available from the two gravity feed makeup water tanks.If Specifications 3.1.3a, b, c or d are not met, a normal orderly shutdown shall be initiated within one hour and the reactor shall be in the cold shutdown condition within ten hours.d.At least once each shift-The area temperature shall be checked.e.During each major refuelin outa e-Automatic actuation and functional system testing shall be performed during each major refueling outage and whenever major repairs are completed on the system.Surveillance with an Ino erable S stem During Cycle 5 with one of the emergency cooling systems inoperable, the level control valve and the motor-operated isolation valve in the operable system shall be demonstrated to be operable immediately and weekly thereafter.

During Cycle 6 and subsequent cycles,<shen one of the emergency cooling systems is inoperable, the level control valve and the motor-operated isolation valve in the operable system shall be demonstrated to be operable immediately and daily thereafter.
