(a) An area radiation monitoring syster renable of activating the evacuation elarm. During short periods of repair to this nonitorina system, reactor operations may continue while portable gamma-sensitive ion chanbers, having their own alarms, are in operation near the reactor.

(b) A continuous moni+cring system for airborne radioactivity having a readout and audible alarm which can be heard in both the reactor and control rooms.

(c) The monitoring systens in (a) erd (b) shall be calibrated anruelly and their set points verified weekly.

6.7.4 The reactor safety systems shall be verified to be opereF'c at least once each day the reactor is operated, unless the operation cy.terds cortinuously beyond one day, in which case the operability of the reactor safety system need only be verified prier to tho extended operation.
