- Operation outside the P/T lir.its in other than MODES 1, 2, i and 3 (including defueled conditions) must be corrected so f that the RCPB is returned to a condition that has.been verified by stress analyses. The Required Action must be- !
initiated without delay and continued until the limits are
! restored.
I Besides restoring the P/T limit parameters to within limits, an evaluation is required to determine if RCS operation is
- allowed. This evaluation must verify that the RCPB l i integrity is acceptable and must be completed before approaching criticality or heating up to > 200*F. Several i methods may be used, including comparison with pre-analyzed - l transients, new analyses, or inspection of the components. ,
l ASME Section XI, Appendix E-(Ref. 6), may be used to support the evaluation; however, its use is restricted to evaluation i
j of the beltline.
