control systems; 18. auxiliary startup instrument tests (neutron response checks); 19. instrumentation and controls used for shutdown from outside the control room; 20. instrumentation used to detect external and internal flooding conditions that could result from such sources as fluid system piping failures; 21. reactor mode switch and associated functions; 22. instrumentation that can be used to track the course of postulated accidents (such as containment wide range pressure indicators, reactor vessel water level monitors, containment sump or pressure suppression level monitors, high range radiation detection devices, and humidity monitors); 23. post-accident hydrogen monitors and analyzers used in the combustible gas control system; 24. annunciators for reactor control and engineered safety features; Appendix A to DG-1259, Page A-14 25. final calibration of digital interfaces; 26. component cooling water, chilled water and ultimate heat sink; 27. refueling water storage tank and suppression pool level and temperature; 28. fire water system; 29. BWR and PWR interlocks and permissives; 30. primary to secondary leakage detection system through steam generators (PWR only); and 31. process computers. A-1.k. Radiation Protection Systems Appropriate tests should be conducted to demonstrate the proper operation of the following types of systems and components used to monitor or measure radiation levels, provide for personnel protection, or control or limit the release of radioactivity: 1. process, criticality, effluent, and area radiation monitors; 2. personnel monitors and radiation survey instruments; 3. laboratory equipment used to analyze or measure radiation levels and radioactivity concentrations; 4. high-efficiency particulate air filters and charcoal absorbers (see footnote 9); 5. leakage detection system sensitivity and capability meets TS leakage detection guidance in Regulatory Guide 1.45, “Guidance on Monitoring and Responding to Reactor Coolant System
