I. INTRODUCTION A. SCOPE These Technical Specifications set forth the principal design features and operating limits and requirements for Unit No. 3 (the Unit) at Pacific Gas and Electric Company's (the Company) Humboldt Bay Power Plant (the Plant). The Unit originally operated as a nuclear power plant utilizing a single-cycle, natural circulation, boiling water reactor and associated turbine generator. As part of the decommissioning of the Unit, most systems have been secured. Systems remaining in operation are utilized for the storage of spent reactor fuel, monitoring and surveillance of the Unit during the SAFSTOR continuing care period, and for the processing of radioactive wastes generated during the SAFSTOR period. Systems and components which have been secured are not described in these Technical Specifications. Section II of these Technical Specifications describes the site. Sections III through VI describe structures, systems, and components utilized during the SAFSTOR period and specify the conditions under which they shall be controlled and monitored. Each of the Sections III through VI consists of:

1. A description of the design features which are considered to be significant. Where thermal, hydraulic, and nuclear characteristics of various systems are given, + R3 manufacturingtolerancesunle[herearesubjecttonormal s cific tolerances are stated.
2. A list of the coeratina limits and r uirements. Whenever a condition occurs which requires corrective action to ensure operation or maintenance within these limits and requirements, such action shall be taken in a timely manner. i Section VII of these Technical Specifications covers administrative and I procedural requirements, including the review of proposed changes in design and operating lirits, requirements and procedures, and presents procedures for normal and emergency conditions during the SAFSTOR period.

B. DEFINITIONS

1. ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS: The provisions relating to the organization and management, procedures and record keeping, review and audit, and reporting which are necessary to ensure maintenance of the Plant in a safe condition during SAFSTOR.

2.- DESIGN FEATURES: .Those features of the Plant which, if altered or. modified, could have a significant effect on the ability of the system, component or structure to perform its intended function.

3. ELEVATION: All elevations shall apply.to a datum of mean lower low water (MLLH) level g ,Q f,foy J
4. OFFSITE DOSE N CULATION MAN TheL:offsite dose calculation manual (00CHhshall contain the methodology and parameters used in 'R3 the calculation of offsite doses and concentrations due to radioactive gaseous and liquid effluents and in the.' calculation of gaseous and liquid effluent monitoring alarm setpoints.
5. OPERABLE - OPERABILITY: A system, subsystem train, component, or device may be considered OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified function (s). Implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation ' controls, normal and emergency electric power .

sources, cooling or seal _ water, lubrication subsystem, train, J component, or device required to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s).

6. OPERATING LIMITS: The lowest functional capability, performance )

levels, or safety limits of structures, systems, or components  ! required during SAFSTOR.

                                                                                             ]
7. OPERATING REQUIREMENTS: Those requirements relating to operation, test, calibration, surveillance, or inspection to ensure that operating limits will be met. .,
8. SAFSTOR: The mode of decommissioning which consists of placing _the I Unit into a state of protective storage.- Spent fuel will remain in the Spent Fuel Storage Pool until shipped offsite for disposal.

Systems necessary to support the storage of the spent fuel, for monitoring and surveillance of the Unit, and for storage and processing of radioactive wastes will remain operational..

9. SPENT FUEL: Nuclear fuel which has been removed from the Reactor -j Vessel after.having been used in critical, power generation.- l 1

J. RADIATION PROTECTION PROGRAM Radiation control procedures shall be prepared, approved and adhered to, and made available to all plant personnel. These procedures shall show permissible radiation exposure and shall be consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR 20. The radiation protection program shall be organized to meet the requirements of 10 CFR 20. K. HIGH RADIATION AREA

1. Pursuant to paragraph 20.203(c)(5) of 10 CFR Part 20, in lieu of the
        " control device" or " alarm signal" required by paragraph 20.203(c)(2), each high radiation area, as defined in 10 CFR Part 20, in which the intensity of radiation is equal to or less than 1000 mr/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface which the radiation penetrates, shall be barricaded and conspicuously posted as a high radiation area and entrance thereto shall be controlled by requiring issuance 'of special work permits (SHPs). Individuals qualified in radiation protection procedures (e.g., Health Physics Technician) or personnel continuously escorted by such individuals may be exempt from the SHP issuance requirement during the performance of their assigned duties in high radiation areas with exposure rates equal to or less than 1000 mr/h, provided they are otherwise following plant radiation protection procedures for entry into such high radiation areas. Any individual or group of individuals permitted to enter such areas shall be provided with or accompanied by one or more of the following:
a. A radiation monitoring device which continuously indicates the ,

radiation dose rate in the area; or  !

b. A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset i, integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate levels in the area have been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them; or
c. An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures with a radiation dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for l providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified.
2. In addition to the requirements of Specification VII.K.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mr/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface  ;

which the radiation penetrates shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Shift Foreman on duty and/or Health Physics supervision. Doors'shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved SHP which shall T VII-16 1742S/00 K Revision 1 ;

specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area. In lieu of the stay time specification of the SWP, direct or remote (such as closed circuit TV cameras) continuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation protectior. procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area. l l l VII-17 1742S/00 K- Revision 1
