instrumentation’s installed locations, and process conditions. A properly established setpoint initiates a plant protective action before the process parameter exceeds its analytical limit. This, in turn, ensures that the transient will be avoided and/or terminated before the process parameters exceed the established safety limits. Similar calculations and reviews are performed as necessary to verify the setpoints for functions that are not related to a safety limit or for nonsafety systems or procedural action points for safety and nonsafety systems. 2. Information to Be Reviewed The information to be reviewed consists of: (1) a description of the setpoint program, procedures, and analytical results, (2) engineering information for the installed instrumentation, (3) supporting analyses, and (4) provisions and operating history, if available, for the instrument BTP 7-12-6 Revision 6 – August 2016 maintenance and calibration program. 3. Acceptance Criteria Setpoint Documentation The following information on the licensee’s or applicant’s setpoint program should be provided for review: • Facility setpoint list identifying safety setpoints and nonsafety setpoints for functions providing protective functions important to safety or that are relevant to compliance with technical specification limiting conditions for operation. • Identification of safety setpoints that are not safety-limit-related LSSS and the basis for this determination. • Identification of setpoints that trigger procedural actions that are important to safety. • Description of the setpoint methodology and procedures used in determining setpoints, including information sources, scope, assumptions, interface reviews, and statistical methods. • Terminology used to describe limits, allowances, and tolerances, and environmental or other effects used to support setpoint calculations. • Technical specifications and the basis for LSSSs. • Basis for acceptable as-found band and acceptable
