TS 4.0-2 4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during all operating conditions for which the Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable.

4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances for performing surveillance activities beyond those specified in the nominal surveillance interval.

These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and performance considerations. The phrase at least associated with a surveillance frequency does not negate this allowable tolerance value and permits the performance of more frequent surveillance activities.

4.0.3 This specification establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the operability requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation. Under the provisions of this specification, systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when surveillance requirements have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the surveillance requirements. This specification also clarifies that the Action Statement requirements are applicable when Surveillance Requirements have not been completed within the allowed surveillance interval and that the time limits of the Action Statement requirements apply from the point in time it Amendment Nos.

TS 4.0-3 is identified that a surveillance has not been performed and not at the time that the allowed surveillance interval was exceeded. Completion of the surveillance requirement within the allowable outage time limits of the Action Statement requirements restores compliance with the requirements of Specification 4.0.3.

However, this does not negate the fact that the failure to have performed the surveillance within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the operability requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation. Further, the failure to perform a surveillance within the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 is a violation of a Technical Specification requirement and is, therefore, a reportable event under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(i)(B), unless it meets an exception listed therein, because it is a condition prohibited by the plants Technical Specifications.

If the allowable outage time limits of the Action Statement requirements are less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or a shutdown is required to comply with Action Statement requirements, e.g., Specification 3.0.1, a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowance is provided to permit a delay in implementing the Action Statement requirements. This provides an adequate time limit to complete surveillance requirements that have not been performed. The purpose of this allowance is to permit the completion of a surveillance before a shutdown is required to comply with Action Statement requirements or before other remedial measures would be required that may preclude completion of a surveillance. The basis for this allowance includes consideration for plant conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to perform the surveillance, and the safety significance of the delay in completing the required surveillance. This Amendment Nos.

TS 4.0-4 provision also provides a time limit for the completion of surveillance requirements that become applicable as a consequence of condition changes imposed by Action Statement requirements and for completing surveillance requirements that are applicable when an exception to the requirements of Specifications 4.0.4 is allowed. If a surveillance is not completed within the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowance, the time limits of the Action Statement requirements are applicable at that time. When a surveillance is performed within the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowance and the surveillance requirements are not met, the time limits of the Action Statement requirements are applicable at the time that the surveillance is terminated.

Surveillance requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment because the Action Statement requirements define the remedial measures that apply. However, the surveillance requirements have to be met to demonstrate that inoperable equipment has been restored to OPERABLE status.

4.0.4 This specification establishes the requirement that all applicable surveillances must be met before entry into an operational condition specified in the applicability statement. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that system and component operability requirements or parameter limits are met before entry into a condition for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the facility. This provision applies to changes in operational conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.0-5 Under the provisions of this specification, the applicable surveillance requirements must be performed within the specified surveillance interval to ensure that the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met during initial plant startup or following a plant outage.

Exceptions to Specification 4.0.4 allow performance of surveillance requirements associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation after entry into the applicable operational condition.

When a shutdown is required to comply with Action Statement requirements, the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this would delay placing the facility in a lower condition of operation.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.1-1 4.1 OPERATIONAL SAFETY REVIEW Applicability Applies to items directly related to safety limits and limiting conditions for operation.

Obiective To specify the minimum frequency and type of surveillance to be applied to unit equipment and conditions.

Specification A. Calibration, testing, and checking of instrumentation channels and interlocks shall be performed as detailed in Tables 4.1-1,4.1-A, and 4.1-2.

B. Equipment tests shall be performed as detailed in Table,4.1-2.A and as detailed below.

1. In addition to the requirements of the Inservice Testing Program, each Pressurizer PORV and block valve shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by:
a. Performing a complete cycle of each PORV with the reactor coolant average temperature >350"F once per 18 months.
b. Performing a complete cycle of the solenoid air control valve and check valves on the air accumulators in the PORV control system once per 18 months.
c. Operating each block valve through one complete cycle of travel at least once per 92 days. This surveillance is not required if the block valve is closed in accordance with 3.1.6.a, b, or c.
d. Verifying that the pressure in the PORV backup air supply is greater than the surveillance limit at least once per 92 days.
e. Performing functional testing and calibration of the PORV backup air supply instrumentation and alarm setpoints at least once per 18 months.

TS 4.2-1 4.2 AUGMENTED INSPECTIONS Applicability Applies to inservice inspections which augment those required by ASME Section XI.

Objective To provide the additional assurance necessary for the continued integrity of important components involved in safety and plant operation.

Specifications A. Inspections shall be performed as specified in T,S. Table 4.2-1. Nondestructive examination techniques and acceptance criteria shall be in compliance with the requirements of ASME Section XI.

B. The normal inspection interval is 10 years.

C. Detailed records of each inspection shall be maintained to allow a continuing evaluation and comparison with future inspections.

Bases The inspection program for ASME Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code limits its inspection to ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and supports.

Certain components, under Miscellaneous Inspections in this section, were added because of no corresponding code requirement. This added requirement provides the inspection necessary to insure the continued integrity of these components.

Item 1.4 The low pressure turbine rotor blades are normally inspected concurrent with the disk and hub inspections. The disk and hub inspection frequency is based on existing crack size, crack growth rate, and system operating conditions. ASME Section XI does not provide specific examination requirements or acceptance criteria for turbine rotor inspections.

Procedures and acceptance criteria for turbine rotor inspections are consistent with general industry practices.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.2-2 Sensitized stainless steel augmented inspections were added to assure piping integrity of this classification.

Items 2.1.1-2.1.3 The examinations required by these items utilize the periodically updated ASME Section XI Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for the augmented examinations. The surface and volumetric examinations required by items 2.1.1 and 2.1.2 will be conducted at three times the frequency required by the Code in an interval. In addition to the Code required pressure testing, visual examinations will be conducted, while the piping is pressurized by the procedures defined in Tables 4.1-3A & B of Technical Specification 4.1, concerning flushing of sensitized stainless steel piping. Weld selection criteria are modified from the Code for Class 1 welds, since stress level information as correlated to weld location is unavailable for Surry.

Item 2.2.1 The sensitized stainless steel located in the containment and recirculation spray rings in the overhead of containment are classified ASME Class 2 components. These components are currently exempted by ASME Section XI from surface and volumetric examination requirements. As such, an augmented program will remain in place requiring visual (VT- 1) examination of these components for evidence of cracking. Additionally, sections of the piping will be examined by liquid penetrant inspection when the piping is visually inspected.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.8-1 4.8 AUXILIARY FEEDWATER SYSTEM Applicabilitv Applies to the periodic testing requirements of the Auxiliary Feedwater System.

Objective To verify the operability of the auxiliary feedwater pumps.

Specification A. Tests and Frequencies

1. At least once per 31 days:
a. Verify that the Auxiliary Feedwater System manual, power operated, and automatic valves in each flow path are in the correct position. This verification includes valves that are not locked, sealed, or otherwise secured in position, valves in the cross-connect from the opposite unit and valves in the steam supply paths to the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump.
2. At least once per 92 days:
a. Verify that each motor-operated valve in the auxiliary feedwater flow paths, including the cross-connect from the opposite unit, performs satisfactorily when tested in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program. I
3. At least once per 92 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS:
a. Verify that the auxiliary feedwater pumps perform satisfactorily when tested in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program. The provisions of I Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable for the turbine driven pump.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.8-2 4a. Within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> prior to Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure exceeding 350°F and 450 psig, respectively, the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps shall be flow tested from the 110,000 gallon above ground Emergency Condensate Storage Tank to the steam generators.

4b. Within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> after achieving reactor criticality, the steam turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump shall be flow tested from the 110,000 gallon above ground Emergency Condensate Storage Tank to the steam generators. The provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable.

5. During periods of reactor shutdown with the opposite units Reactor Coolant System temperature and pressure greater than 350°F and 450 psig, respectively:
a. Continue to verify that the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps perform satisfactorily when tested at the frequency defined in Specification 4.8.A.3.
b. Verify that each motor-operated valve in the auxiliary feedwater cross-connect flow path for the opposite unit performs satisfactorily when tested in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program. I B. Acceptance Criteria The pump and valve tests, except the system flow test, shall be considered satisfactory if they meet the Inservice Testing Program acceptance criteria. I The system flow tests during unit startup from COLD SHUTDOWN or REFUELING SHUTDOWN shall be considered satisfactory if the control board indication demonstrates that flow paths exist to each steam genera.tor.

Amendment Nos.

TS 4.8-3 Basis The correct alignment for manual, power operated, and automatic valves in the Auxiliary Feedwater System steam and water flow paths, including the cross-connect flow path, will provide assurance that the proper flow paths exist for system operation. This position check does not include: 1) valves that are locked, sealed or otherwise secured in position since they are verified to be in their correct position prior to locking, sealing or otherwise securing; 2) vent, drain or relief valves on those flow paths; and, 3) those valves that cannot be inadvertently misaligned such as check valves. This surveillance does not require any testing or valve manipulation. It involves verification that those valves capable of being mispositioned are in the correct position.

The auxiliary feedwater pump will be tested periodically in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program to demonstrate operability. The pumps are flow tested on recirculation to the 110,000 gallon Emergency Condensate Storage Tank. Valves in the flow path to the steam generators and cross-connect flow path are tested periodically in accordance with the Inservice Testing Program.

The auxiliary feedwater pumps are capable of supplying feedwater to the opposite units steam generators. For a main steam line break or fire event in the Main Steam Valve House, one of the opposite units auxiliary feedwater pumps is required to supply feedwater to mitigate the consequences of those accidents. Therefore, when considering a single failure, both motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps are required to be OPERABLE* during shutdown to support the opposite unit if the Reactor Coolant System temperature or pressure of the opposite unit is greater than 350°F and 450 psig, respectively. Thus, to establish operability" the motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps will continue to be tested quarterly on the same STAGGERED TEST BASIS when the unit is shutdown to support the opposite unit. The turbine driven pump is not required to be OPERABLE when the unit is shutdown and therefore, is not tested during periods of shutdown.
