d. With a combination of thefour pumps satisfying the pump requirement, the separate water supplies for each pump(s) available as indicated in A(1)b, and A(l)c above.

Amendment No. 3J, 44

-60L 4.15 Fire Protection System Surveillance Applicability:

Applies to the-surveillance of fire detection and extinguishing systems and equipment.

Objective:

To ensure the operability of fire detection and extinguishing systems and equipment.

Specifications:

A. The Fire Suppression Water System shall be demonstrated to be operable.

(1) With the San Onofre Unit 1 fire water pumps satisfying the pump requirements of Technical Specification 3.14.A(l), at least once per seven days by verifying the water supply volume in the San Onofre Unit 1 Service Water Reservoir. With the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 fire water pumps satisfying the pump requirements of Technical Sepcification 3.14.A(l), by initially verifying the water supply volume in the San Onofre Units 2 and 3 service and firewater storage tanks and at least once per seven days thereafter.

(2) At least once per 31 days on a staggered test basis by starting each pump satisying the pump requirements of Technical Specification 3.14.A(l) and operating it for at least fifteen minutes.

(3) At least once per thirty one days by verifying that each valve (manual, power operated or automatic is in its correct position. For valves located inside the containment sphere, verifi cation shall be made consistent with the 31-day requirement when possible during available plant outages or during containment entrances for other reasons.

(4) At least once per 12 months by cycling each testable valve through one complete cycle of full travel.

(5) At least once per 18 months by performing a system functional test which includes simulated actuation of the system, and:
