i b.
Surveillance intervals specified in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda for the inservice inspec-tion and testing activities required by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda shall be applicable as follows in these Technical Specifications:
DAVIS-BESSE, UNIT 1 3/4 0-2 Amendment No. 7J.Jg,145
APPLICABILITY BASES l
4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the Limiting Condi-tions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveillance i
activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.
l 4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances for performing surveillance activities beyond those specified in the nominal surveil-l lance interval. These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibil-ity 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.
The allowable tolerance for performing surveillance activities is suffi.
ciently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the surveil-lance activity is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the nominal specified interval.
It is not intended that the allowable tolerance be used as a convenience to repeatedly schedule the performance of surveillances at the allowable tolerance limit.
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 l
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 clarifiet 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 inter-val was exceeded.
Completion of the Surveillance Requirement within the allow-able (equipment inoperability) 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 surveil-l lance within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of i
Specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the OPERABILITY requirements of a-l Limiting Condition for Operation that is subject to enforcement action.
Further, the failure to perform a surveillance within the provisions of l-Specification 4.0.2 is a violation of a Technical Specification requirement and is, therefore, a reportable event under the requirements of 10 CFR 1
l 50.73(a)(2)(1)(B) because it is a condition prohibited by the plant's Technical i
Specifications.
If the allowable (equipment inoperability) outage time limits of the ACTION 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 1
i DAVIS-BESSE, UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-2 Amendment No. H0,145
I APPLICABILITY BASES t
ACTION requirements, e.g., Specification 3.0.3, a 24-hour allowance is provided i
to permit a delay in implementing the ACTION requiremen.ts.
This provides an adequate time limit to complete Surveillance Requirements that have not been performed.
The purpose of this allowance is to pemit the completion of a i
surveillance before a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements or before other remedial measures would be required that may preclude comple-1 tion 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.
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 surveillance is terminated.
Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equip-ment because the ACTION requirements define the remedial measures that apply.
However, the Surveillance Requirements have to be met to demonstrate that j
inoperable equipment has been restored to OPERABLE status.
4.0.4 This specification ensures that the surveillance activities associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation have been perfomed within l
the specified time interval prior to entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other applicable condition. The intent of this provision is to ensure that surveil-l lance activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation.
Under the terms of this specification, for example, during initial plant startup or following extended plant outages, the applicable surveillance activities must be performed within the stated surveillance interval prior l
to placing or returning the system or equipment into OPERABLE status.
4.0.5 This specification ensures 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 will be performed in accordance withaa periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a.
Relief from any of the above requirements has been provided in writing by the Comission and is not a part of-these technical specifications.
This specification includes a clarification of the frequencies for perform-ing 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 these Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities.
DAVIS-BESSE, UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-3 Amendment No. 145 l
l
i APPLICABILITY BASES i
Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements l
of the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler andt Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda.
For exarapir, the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities prior to er.try into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows pumps to be tested up to one week after return to normal operation and for example, the Technical Specification definition of OPERABLE does not grant a grace period before a device that is not capable of performing its specified functions is declared inoperable and takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel provision, which allows a valve to be incapable of performing its specified function for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> before being declared inoperable.
