.CO 3.3.F SR 4.3.F.1 I

The RWM shall be OPERABLE.

APPLICABILITY:

RUN and STARTUP MODES with reactor thermal power < 20% RTP.

ACTIONS:

A. RWM inoperable during reactor startup.

1 Immediately suspend control rod movement except by scram.

OR 2.1.1 Immediately verify > 12 rods withdrawn, OR 2.1.2 Immediately verify by administrative methods that startup with RWM inoperable has not been performed in the last calendar year.

AND 2.2 Verify movement of control rods is in compliance with BPWS by a second licensed operator or other qualified member of the technical staff during control rod movement.

B. RWM inoperable during reactor shutdown.

1 Verify movement of control rods is in accordance with BPWS by a second licensed operator or other qualified member of the technical staff during control rod movement.

SR 4.3.F.3 Verify control rod sequences input to the RWM are in conformance with BPWS prior to declaring RWM OPEFR BLE following loading of sequence into RWM.

Perform an INSTRUMENT FUNCTIONAL TEST of the RWNM prior to control rod withdrawal for startup or insertion to reduce power below 20%.

SR 4.3.F.2 Verify the RWM automatic bypass setpoint to be > 20% RTP every 24 months.

G. Control Rod Testing - Operating G.

Control Rod Testing - Operating Specification The requirements of LCO 3.3.H, "Rod Pattern Control," may be suspended to allow performance of reactivity margin demonstrations, control rod scram time testing, control rod friction testing, and the Startup Test Program, provided:

1. The banked position withdrawal sequence requirements of SR 4.3.F.3 are changed to require the control rod sequence to conform to the specified test sequence, OR
2. The RWM is bypassed; the requirements of LCO 3.3.F, "Rod Worth Minimizer," are suspended; and conformance to the approved control rod sequence for the specified test is verified by a second licensed operator or other qualified member of the technical staff.
1. Prior to control rod movement, verify control rod sequence input to the RWM is in conformance with the approved control rod sequence for the specified test, OR
2. During control rod movement, verify movement of control rods is in compliance with the approved control rod sequence for the specified test by a second licensed operator or other qualified membe r of the technical staff.

App licability Rur MODE and startup MODE with the requirements of LCO 3.3.H not met.

Acti:)ns Above requirements not met immediately suspend performance of the test and excEption to LCO 3.3.H.
