3/~.0 APPLICABILITY BASES The specifications of this section provide the general requirements app *cable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requi ments within Section 3/4.

3.0~ This specification defines the applicability of each speci~tcation in terms o defined OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions a a is -

provided to lineate specifically when each specification is appli ble.

3.0.Z This pecification defines those conditions necessar. to constitute cor.:;:iliance with th terms of an individual Limiting Condition r Operation and associated ACTI requirement.

3.0.3 This specif1 ation delineates the ACTION t~btaken for circum-stances not directly prov1 ed for in the ACTION stateme s and whose occurrence 1o*ould violate the intent of he specification. Fore ple, Specification 3.5.l calls for each Reactor olant System accumul or to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requir ents if one accu lator is inoperable. Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3, if more than o e accumulator is inoperable,

':he unit is required to be in-at le st HOT STA BY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months and in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the followi g 6 ho s. As a further example, Specification 3.6.2. l requires two Con in nt Spray Systems to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION *requirement if one spray system is inoperable:

Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3 i oth of the required Containment Spray Systems are inoperable, the uni is re ired to be in.at least HOT STANDBY within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months , in at least OT SHUT N within the fol lowi_nq 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months , and in at least COLD SHUTDOWN in e next 24 ho s. It is assumed that the unit is brought to the required ODE within the r uired times by promptly initiating and carrying out t appropriate ACTION atement.

3. 0. 4 This speci fi ca on provides that entry into n OPERATIONAL MODE *or other specified applicab* ity condition must be made with (a) the full comple-ment of required syste , equipment or components OPERABLE nd (b).all other parameters as specifi d in the Limiting Conditions for Opera 'on being met 1

~ithout regard for lowable deviations and out of service pro "sions contained in the ACTION sta ements.

of this provision is to insure that facility operati initiated w* h either required equipment or systems inoperable or othe

'spe:ified imits being exceeded.

E ceptions to this provision have .been provided for a limited number o spec* ications when startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant l sa ty. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropriat ecifications.

SALEM - UN IT 1 B 3/4 0-1 ftJllENDMENT NO. 27

IAP p LI CAB I LITY SAS ES 3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be satisfied to permit operation to continue, consistent with the ACTION state-

,men-:.S fer power sources. when a normal or emergency power souree is not OPERAS LE.

It specifically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable because its normal or emargency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, t~ain,- component or device in another division is inoperable for another reason.

lThe pi-ovisions of this specification pel"'lllit the ACTION statements associated lw'ith inidvidual systems, subsystems, trains, components, or devices to be

!consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power lsou~:e. lt allows ope~!tion to be governed by the time limits of the ACT!ON

is~a~ement associated W"it."I the Limiting Condition for Operation for the normal lo~ emergency po~er sou~ce, not the individua1 ACTION st.at.ements fer each l

isys~em, subsystem, train, component or device that is det.eTinined to be inoperab1e so1e1y because of the incpera.bi1ity of its normal or emergency power source.

!For example, Specific~ticn 3.8.l.l requi~s in par~t~~~~l~emergency diese1

!generators be OPERASL.£. The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months out*cf-l !servi:e time when one emergency diesel generator is not OPERABLE. If the i :cef~nition cf OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5,

jai1 systems subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable iet1ergency power source W"Oulc also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking

'jt~e app1icab1e ACTION statements for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation. However, the provisions of Specification 3.0.S permit the time l 1i~its for continued operation to be consistent ~ith the ACTION statement for the inoperable emergency diesel generator instead, provided the other specified

'con:itions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that the corresponding n:T"ma1 power source must be OPERABLE, and a11 redundant systems, subsyster-..s, tiains, components, and devices must be OPERABLE, or otherwise satisfy Specifi-1ca~ion 3.0.5 (i.e., be capab1e of performing their design function and have at 1east one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE). If they are not satisfied, action is_requi~d in accordance with this specification.,

As a further-example, Specific:ation 3.8.l.l requires i.n part that two physica11y independent circuits be~ween the offsite transmission network and the onsite C1ass !E distribution system be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides a 24-hour out-of-service tice when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE.

1If ~he definition of O?ERASLE were applied ~ithcut consideration of Specifica-tion 3.~.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by ~he inoperable non:al power sour:es, both of the offsite circuits, would a1sc be inoperable. This would diet.ate invoking the applicable ACTION state-ment for the inoperable normal power s~ur:es instead, pNlvided the other specified conditions a~ satisfied. In this case, this ~u1d mean that for cne division the emergency po~er source must be OPERABLE (as must be the

!1co1r.?onents supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant systems, SALEM - UNIT l B 3/4 e-r AMENDMENT NO. 27

APPLICABILITY BASES subsyste11S, trains, components and devices in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of perforliI~g their design functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE). In other wo.rds, both emergency power sources must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE. If these conditions are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

In MODES 5 or 6 Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statements for each applicable Limiting Condition for

--~*~ot!.e.ration in these MODES must be adhered to.

1NScRT (:,.

This specification provides that surveillance necessary sure the Limiting Conditions for Operation be performed durln h~~ OPERATIONAL MODES or other c ons for which the Limiting Conditions for ~t~n are applic;:~e-:- rovisions for additional surveillance activities to be pe~d-.1t'thout regard to the applicable

OPERATIONAL MODES or other ~-rtiOns ar~ed in the individual Surveillance Requirem~urveillance Requiremen~ Special Test Exceptions n n y be performed when the Special Test Ex~ is being util as an exception to an individual specification.

4.0.2 Specification 4.0.2 establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are specified with an 18 month surveillance interval. It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outages. The limitation of Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judement and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. This provision is sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval.

SALEM - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-3 Amendment No. 106

APPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.4 This specification ensures that the surveillance activities associated vith a Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed w thin th* specified time interval prior to entry into an OPERATIONAL or ther applicable condition. The intent of this provision is to ens that urveillance activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated curren basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of Limiting ~ondition for Operation.

Under e terms of this specification, for example, dur ng initial

~lant startup r following extended plant outages, the app cable surveillance ac vities must be performed within the statl'd surveillance interval prior to lacing or returning the system o z eipment into OPERABLE status.

_4.0.5 This speci cation ensures that inserv: ce inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 co ~onents and inservice t sting of ASKE Code Class l, 2 and 3 pumps and valves,, will be performed . accordance with a periodically updated version\\,of Section XI o *the ASKE Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. Relief from any of the above requirements has been'\g,rovided ,th writing by the Commission and is not a part of these technical' ecif.iations.

This* specification includes a rification of the frequencies for performing the inservice inspectio an testing activities required by Section XI of the ASKE Boiler an Pressu Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. This clarification~ provided t ensure consistency in surveillance intervals thou ut these Techn al Specifications and to remove any ambiguitieszel ive to the frequen ies for performing the required inservice inspec,ion and testing activi ies.

Under the term~* this specification, the more restrictive requirements of the echnical Specifications take pr~d;~ce over the ASME Boiler and Pressur Vessel Code and applicable Adden?~~"'or example, the requirements of pecification 4.0.4 to perform surveillanc~ activities prior to entry nto an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified ~~plicability condition ta s precedence over the ASKE Boiler and Pressure ?Xessel Code provision w ich allows pumps to be tested up to one week after eturn to pormal op ration. And for example, the Technical Specification d \inition of OP LE does not grant a grace period before a device that is .ot of performing its specified function is declared inoperable *nd precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provis n allows a valve to be incapable of performing its specified functi 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months before being declared inoperable.

3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES

""' The specifications of this section provide the general requirements 1

apP~icable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requ)rements within, Section 3/4.

This specification defines the applicability of each specific in terms o defined OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions and s provided to elineate specifically when each specification is applica e.

3.0.2 Thi specification defines those conditions necessary o constitute compliance with.t terms of an individual Limiting Condition fo Operation and associated ACT requirement.

3.0.3 This speci *cation delineates the measures to taken for circum-stances not di.rectly pro "ded for in the ACTION statement and whose occurrence would violate the intent o the specification. For exa le, Specification 3.5.2 requires two independe t ECCS subsystems to be ERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements 1 one ECCS subsys~em

inoperable. Under the requirements of Specification 3. . 3, if both oft required ECCS subsystems

are inoperable, measures must be 1 itiated to p ce the unit in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months and *n at leas HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months . As a further exam e, SP, cification 3.6.2. 1 requires two Containment Spray Systems to be OPERABL a provides explicit ACTION require-ments if one spray system is inoperable: nder the terms of Specification 3.0.3, if both of the required Containment Sp y stems are inoperable, the unit is required to be in at least HOT STAND withi 1 hour1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months , in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days 0.00167 hours 9.920635e-6 weeks 2.283e-6 months and f at least C D SHUTDOWN in the next 30 hours3.472222e-4 days 0.00833 hours 4.960317e-5 weeks 1.1415e-5 months .

It is assumed that the unit is br. ught to the re ired MODE within the required

. times by promptly initiating an carrying out the propriate ACTION statement.

3.0.4 This specificat* n provides that entry int an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicabi ty condition must be made wit (a) the full comple-ment of required systems~ equipment or components OPERABL and (b) all other parameters as specifie in the Limiting Conditions for Oper ion being met without.regard for a owable deviations and out of service pr isions contained in the ACTION stat ents.

The inten of this provision is to insure that facility operat"on is not either required equipment or systems inoperable or otfi r specified exceeded.

Ex ptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number~

speci-e1cations .when startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant ~

saf r:}t. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropria e s cifications.

SALEM - UNIT 2 B 3/4 0-1

APPLICABILITY BASES 3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be satisried to permit operation to continue, consistent with the ACTION state-ments for power sources, when a normal or emergency power source is not OPERABLE.

It specifically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable because its normal or emergency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, train, component or device in another division is inoperable for another reason.

The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statements associated with inidvidual systems, subsystems, trains, components, or devices to*be consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power source. It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the ACTION statement associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation for the normal or emergency power source, not the individual ACTION statements for each system, subsystem, train, component or device that is determined to be inoperable solely because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source.

1£hru1-t.~

For example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that~emergency diesel generators be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days 0.02 hours 1.190476e-4 weeks 2.7396e-5 months out-of-servi ce time when one emergency diesel generator is not OPERABLE. If the

definition of OPERABLE.were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5, all systems subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable emergency power source would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation. However, the provis.ions of Specification 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable emergency diesel generator instead, provided. the other specified conditions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that the corresponding normal power source must be OPERABLE, and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices must be OPERABLE, or otherwise satisfy Specifi-cation 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performing their design function and have at least one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE). If they are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

As a further example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two physically independent circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class IE distribution system be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides a 24-hour out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specifica-tion 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable normal power sources, both of the offsite circuits, would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION state-ment for the inoperable normal power sources instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that for one division the emergency power source must be OPERABLE (as must be the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant systems, SALEM - UNIT 2

AlPLICABILIIY BASES subsystema, trains, components and devices in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performins their design functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE). In other words, both emergency power sources must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE. If these conditions are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

In MODES 5 or 6 Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statements for each applicable Limiting Condition for Operation in these MODES must be adhered to.

This specification provides that surveillance necessary nsure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are me~

be performed dur n -thJt_OPERATIONAL MODES or other cond~S~ -~for which the Limiting Conditions for-Q~tion are appli~:- ;~Provisions for additional surveillance activitieS"-t: be O'rmed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL MODES coniitt-icms are provided in the individual Surveillance rements. Surveil~""Re~!ements for Special Test Exe ~ ns need only bE. performed when the S-lfec.i.al Test Exceptio eing utilized aa an ex:eption to an individual. ~~

s.:D.4!Cl~-t ication.

4.0.2 Speciffolld.on 4.0.2 establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for ~urveillance Requirements may be extended. It permits an allowable ext~nsion of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillan.cc. scheduling and consideration of plant ope.rating conditions that may not bt. su:f.table for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient condi.U.ons or. other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are specified with an 18 month surveillance interval. It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance inter,vals beyond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outages. The limitation of Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgement and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. This provision is sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance lNS~ H interval.

'Attachment 5 NLR-N90121 Generic Letter 87-09 Changes LCR 88-06, Rev. 1 INSERT F Specification 3.0.1 through 3.0.4 establish the general requirements applicable to Limiting Conditions for Operation. These requirements are based on the requirements for Limiting Conditions for Operation stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2):

"Limiting conditions for operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met."

Specification 3.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual specification as the requirement for when (i.e., in which OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions) conformance to the Limiting Conditions for Operation is required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified time limits when the requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met.

There are two basic types of ACTION requirements. The first specifies the remedial measures that permit continued operation of the facility which is not further restricted by the time limits of the ACTION requirements. In this

case, conformance to the ACTION requirements provides an acceptable level of safety for unlimited continued operation as long as the ACTION requirements continue to be met. The second type of ACTION requirement specifies a time limit in which conformance to the conditions of the Limiting Condition for Operation must be met. This time limit is the allowable outage time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or for restoring parameters within specified limits. If these actions are not completed within the allowable outage time limits, a shutdown is required to place the facility in a MODE or condition in which the specification no longer applies. It is not intended that the shutdown ACTION requirements be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of a system(s) or component(s) from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable.

The specified time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service for surveillance testing or investigation of operational problems. Individual specifications may include a specified time limit for the completion of a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service. In this case, the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable when this limit expires if the surveillance has not been completed. When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the plant may have entered a MODE in which a new specification becomes applicable. In this case, the time limits of the ACTION requirements would apply from the point in time that the new specification becomes applicable if the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met.

Specification 3.0.2 establishes that noncompliance with a specification exists when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and the associated ACTION requirements have not been implemented within the specified time interval. The purpose of this specification is to clarify that (1) implementation of the ACTION requirements within the specified time interval constitutes compliance with a specification and (2) completion of the remedial measures of the ACTION requirements is not required when compliance with a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval specified in the associated ACTION requirements.

Specification 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must be implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTION requirements.

The purpose of this specification is to delineate the time limits for placing the unit in a safe shutdown MODE when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits of safe operation defined by the Limiting Conditions for Operation and its ACTION requirements. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant operation. This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in electrical generation with the load dispatcher to ensure the stability and availability of the electrical grid. The time limits specified to reach lower MODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming orily the minimum required equipment is OPERABLE. This reduces thermal stresses on components of the primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification applies.

If remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility under the provisions of the ACTION requirements are completed, the shutdown may be terminated. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for Operation. Therefore, the shutdown may be terminated if the ACTION requirements have.been met or the time limits of the ACTION requirements have not expired, thus providing an allowance for the completion of the required actions.

The time limits of Specification 3.0.3 allow 37 hours4.282407e-4 days 0.0103 hours 6.117725e-5 weeks 1.40785e-5 months for the plant to be in the COLD SHUTDOWN MODE when a shutdown is required during the POWER MODE of operation. If the plant is in a lower MODE of operation when a shutdown is required, the time limit for reaching the next lower MODE of operation applies. However, if a lower MODE of operation is reached in less time than allowed, the total allowable time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN, or other applicable MODE, is not reduced. For example, if HOT STANDBY is reached in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months , the time allowed to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days 0.00306 hours 1.818783e-5 weeks 4.1855e-6 months because of the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days 0.00361 hours 2.149471e-5 weeks 4.9465e-6 months . Therefore, if remedial measures are not completed that would permit a return to POWER operation, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a lower MODE of operation in less than the total time allowed.

The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one specification results in entry into a MODE or condition of operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, the difference may be added to the allowable outage time limits of the second specification. However, the allowable outage time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher MODE of operation may not be used to extend the allowable outage time that is applicable when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met in a lower MODE of operation.

The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES 5 and 6, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken.

Specification 3.0.4 establishes limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in MODES were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits.. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a MODE change. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.

When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation.

Unless otherwise noted, the portion of Specification 3.0.4 that is exempted by the remaining 3.0.4 exemptions is that portion stating that entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition shall not be made when the conditions of the LCO are not met and the associated ACTION requires a shutdown if they are not met within the specified time interval (i.e., Part a).

As used in this Specification, the word "shutdown" encompasses entry into a lower operational mode and its meaning is not limited only to movement into modes containing the word shutdown.

"Attachment 5 NLR-N90121 Generic Letter 87-09 Changes LCR 88-06, Rev. 1 INSERT G Specifications 4.0.l through 4.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):

"Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to ensure that the quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."

Specification 4.0.l establishes the requirement that surveillances must be performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in a MODE or other specified condition for which the associated Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable. Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL MODE for which the requirements of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation do not apply unless otherwise specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a specification.

~Attachment 5 NLR-N90121 Generic Letter 87-09 Changes LCR 88-06, Rev. 1 INSERT H Specification 4.0.3 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 requirements are applicable when Surveillance Requirements have not been completed within the allowed surveillance interval and that the time limits of the ACTION requirements apply from the point in time it 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 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 that is subject to enforcement action. 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) because it is a condition prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications.

If the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, e.g.,

Specification 3.0.3, a 24-hour allowance is provided to permit a delay in implementing the ACTION 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 requirements or before other remedial measures would be required that may preclude completion of a surveillance. The basis for this allowable 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 provision also provides a time limit for the completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable as a consequence of MODE changes imposed by ACTION requirements and for completing Surveillance Requirements that are applicable when an exception to the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 is allowed. If a surveillance is not completed within the 24-hour allowance, the time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at that time. When a surveillance is performed within the 24-hour allowance and the Surveillance Requirements are not met, the time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at the time that the Insert Page 6 of 8

,, .. Attachment 5 NLR-N90121 Generic Letter 87-09 Changes LCR 88-06, Rev. 1 INSERT H (continued) surveillance is terminated. If a surveillance test is to be performed when certain conditions exist and the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not applicable for entry into the mode at which those conditions would be achieved, the time interval, whether it be the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months allowance or the allowed outage time of the action statement, begins when the plant reaches the conditions necessary to perform the test.

Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment because the ACTION 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.

Specification 4.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable surveillances must be met before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other condition of operation specified in the Applicability statement. The purposed of this specification is to ensure that system and component OPERABILITY requirements or parameter limits are met before entry into a MODE or condition for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the facility.

This provision applies to changes in OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup.

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.

When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this could delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation.

Specification 4.0.5 establishes the requirement that inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2 and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with a periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. These requirements apply except when relief has been provided in writing by the Commission.

This specification includes a clarification of the frequencies for performing the inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. This clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout the. Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities.

Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements of the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. The requirements of Specification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows pumps and valves to be tested up to one week after return to normal operation. The Technical Specification definition of OPERABLE does not allow a grace period before a component, that is not capable of performing its specified function, is declared inoperable and takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows a valve to be incapable of performing its specified function for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months before being declared inoperable.
