(7) Reporting Requirements (a) Within 30 days of a change to the initial test program described in FSAR Section 14, Initial Test Program, made in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59 or in accordance with 10 CFR Part 52, Appendix D, Section VIII, Processes for Changes and Departures, SNC shall report the change to the Director of NRO, or the Directors designee, in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59(d).
(b) SNC shall report any violation of a requirement in Section 2.D.(3),
Section 2.D.(4), Section 2.D.(5), and Section 2.D.(6) of this license within 24 hours1 days <br />0.143 weeks <br />0.0329 months <br />. Initial notification shall be made to the NRC Operations Center in accordance with 10 CFR 50.72, with written follow up in accordance with 10 CFR 50.73.
(8) Incorporation The Technical Specifications, Environmental Protection Plan, and ITAAC in Appendices A, B, and C, respectively of this license, as revised through Amendment No. 116, are hereby incorporated into this license.
(9) Technical Specifications The technical specifications in Appendix A to this license become effective upon a Commission finding that the acceptance criteria in this license (ITAAC) are met in accordance with 10 CFR 52.103(g).
(10) Operational Program Implementation SNC shall implement the programs or portions of programs identified below, on or before the date SNC achieves the following milestones:
(a) Environmental Qualification Program implemented before initial fuel load; (b) Reactor Vessel Material Surveillance Program implemented before initial criticality; (c) Preservice Testing Program implemented before initial fuel load; (d) Containment Leakage Rate Testing Program implemented before initial fuel load; (e) Fire Protection Program
- 1. The fire protection measures in accordance with Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.189 for designated storage building areas (including adjacent fire areas that could affect the storage area) implemented before initial receipt 7 Amendment No. 116
Technical Specifications LCO Applicability 3.0 3.0 LCO Applicability LCO 3.0.5 Equipment removed from service or declared inoperable to comply with ACTIONS may be returned to service under administrative control solely to perform testing required to demonstrate its OPERABILITY or the OPERABILITY of other equipment. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the test required to demonstrate OPERABILITY.
LCO 3.0.6 When a supported system LCO is not met solely due to a support system LCO not being met, the Conditions and Required Actions associated with this supported system are not required to be entered. Only the support system LCO ACTIONS are required to be entered. This is an exception to LCO 3.0.2 for the supported system. In this event, additional evaluations and limitations may be required in accordance with Specification 5.5.7, Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP). If a loss of safety function is determined to exist by this program, the appropriate Conditions and Required Actions of the LCO in which the loss of safety function exists are required to be entered.
When a support systems Required Action directs a supported system to be declared inoperable or directs entry into Conditions and Required Actions for a supported system, the applicable Conditions and Required Actions shall be entered in accordance with LCO 3.0.2.
LCO 3.0.7 Test Exception LCOs 3.1.8 and 3.1.10 allow specified Technical Specification (TS) requirements to be changed to permit performance of special tests and operations. Unless otherwise specified, all other TS requirements remain unchanged. Compliance with Test Exception LCOs is optional. When a Test Exception LCO is desired to be met but is not met, the ACTIONS of the Test Exception LCO shall be met. When a Test Exception LCO is not desired to be met, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability shall be made in accordance with the other applicable Specifications.
