THETRUMENTATf0N BASES MONITORING INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) 90 3/4.3.5.6 CHLORIDE INTRUSION MONITORS WI "

The chloride intrusion monitors provide adequate warning of any leakage in the condenser or hotwell so that actions can be taken to mitigate the consequences of such intrusion in the reactor coolant system. With only a minimum number of instr.:ments available increased sampling frequency provides adequate information for the same purpose.

3/4.3.5.7 FIRE DETECTION INSTRUMENTATION OPE? ABILITY of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that adequate warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related equipment and is an integral element in the overall facility fire protection program.

In the event that a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable, increasing the frequency of fire oatrols in the affected areas is required to provide detection capabilit. .until the inoperable instrumentation is restored to OPERASILITY.

3/4.3.6 :ECIRCULATIO" PUMP TRIP SYSTEM INSTRU"ENTATION The anticipated transient without scram (ATWS) recirculation pump l trip system has been added at the suggestion of ACRS as a means of limiting the consequences of the unlikely occurrence of a failure to scram during an anticipated transient. The response of the plant to this postulated event falls within an envelope of study events given in General Electric Company Topical Report NED0-10349, dated March,1971.

The end-of-cycle recirculation pump trip (EOC-RPT) system is a part of the Reactor Protection System and is a safety supolement to the reactor trip. The purpose of the E0C-RPT is to recever the loss of thermal margin which occurs at the end-of-cycle.

The chysical chenomenon involved is tha- the void reactivity feedback due c a pressurization transient can add positive reactivity to the

reducing coolant flow in order to reduce the void collapse in the core during two of the most limiting pressurization events. The two events for which the EOC-RPT protective feature will function are i

INSTRUMENTATION BASES RECIRCULATION PUP.P TRIP INSTRUMENTATION (Continued) closure of the turbine stop valves and fast closure of the turbine control valves.

A fast closure sensor from each of two turbine' control valves provides input to one E0C-RPT system; a fast closure sensor from each of the other two turbine contr.ol valves provides input to the second EOC-RPT system. -

similarly, a posi-tion switch for each of two turbine stop valves provides input to one EOC-RPT system; a position switch for each of the other two turbine stop valves provides input to the other E0C-RPT system. For each EOC-RPT system, the sensor relay contacts are arranged to form a 2-out-of-2 logic for closure of the turbine stop valves. The operation of either logic will actuate the EOC-RPT system and trip both recirculation pumps.

Each EOC-RPT system may be manually bypassed by use of a keyswitch which is administratively controlled. The manual bypasses and the automatic operating bypass at < 30% of RATED THERMAL POWER r e annunciated in the control room.
