MODE 3
3. Not applicable in MODE 3, and in MODE 4 with RCS
temperature > 259 °F during hydrostatic tests
4. The provisions of LCO 3.0.3 are not applicable in MODE 3,
and in MODE 4 with RCS temperature > 259 °F.
APPLICABILITY: MODES 1, 2, and 3, MODE 4 with RCS
temperature > 259 °F.
, State LCO 3.4.11 Low Temperature Overpressure Protection
(LTOP) System and its applicability Correct Answer LCO
3.4.11 An LTOP System shall be OPERABLE with:
HPI deactivated and CFTs isolated and either:
PZR not water solid and ERV with a setpoint of </=508#
OR
The RCS depressurized and the RCS open.
(NOTE :
-HPI deactivation and CFT isolation N/A during ASME testing
-HPI deactivation N/A during fill and vent of the RCS
-HPI deactivation N/A during emergency RCS makeup
-HPI deactivation N/A during valve maintenance
-CFT isolation required when CFT pressure is >/= Max RCS
pressure for existing RCS temperature allowed)
APPLICABILITY: MODE 4 with RCS temperature </=259 °F,
MODE 5, MODE 6 when the reactor vessel head is on.
