3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES The specifications of this section provide the general requirements applicable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance Requirements within Section 3/4 3.0.1 This specification defines the applicability of each specification in terms of defined OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions and is provided to delineate specifically when each specification is applicable.
3.0.2 This specification defines those conditions necessary to constitute compliance with the terms of an individual Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION requirement.
3.0.3 This specification delineates the ACTION to be taken for circum-stances not directly provided for in the ACTION statements and whose occurrence would violate the intent of the specification.
For example Specification 3.5.1 requires each Reactor Coolant System safety injection tank to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements if one safety injection tank is inoperable.
Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3, if more than one safety injection tank is inoperable. ACTION within one hour is required to initiate unit shutdown and be in at least HOT STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />. As a further example, Specification 3.6.2.1 requires two Containment Spray Systems to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements if one spray system is inoperable:
Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3, if both of the required Containment Spray Systems are inoperable, action within one hour is required to initiate unit shutdown and be in at least H0T STANDBY within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in at least COLD SHUTDOWN in the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
It is assumed that the unit is brought to the required mode within the required times by promptly initiating and carrying out the appropriate ACTION STATEMENT.
3.0.4 This specification provides that entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition must be made with (a) the full complement of required systems, equipment or components OPERABLE and (b) all other parameters as specified in the Limiting Conditions for Operation being met without regard for allowable deviations and out of service provisions contained in the ACTION statements.
The intent of this provision is to insure that facility operation is not initiated with either required equipment or systems inoperable or other specified limits being exceeded.
Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of specifications when startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant safety.
These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropriate specifications.
l CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-1 Amendment No. 52 CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 2 Amendment No. 35 i
APPLICABILITY BASES 3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be l
satisfied 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, sub-system, train, component or device in another division is inoperable for another reason.
The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statements associated with individual 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 l
power source.
For example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two emergency diesel generators be OPERABLE.
The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> I
out-of-service time when one emergency diesel generator is not OPERABLE.
If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specifica-l tion 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 statement for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation. However, the provisions 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 Specification 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 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are 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 normal power sources, both of the offsite circuits, would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable LCOs.
However, the provisions of Specifi-cation 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable normal power sources instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied.
In case, this would CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-2 Amendment No. 52 CALVERT CLIFFS - UNIT 2 Amendment No. 35
APPLICABILITY BASES 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, subsystems, trains, components and devices in the other division must j l be OPER4BLE or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performing 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.
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 Conditions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveillance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.
Surveillance Requirements for Special Test Exceptions need only be performed when the Special Test Exception is being utilized as an exception to an individual specification.
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 J 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 tolerance values, taken either individually or consecutively over 3 test intervals, are sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the surveillance activity is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the nominal specified interval.
l 4.0.3 The provisions of this specification set forth the criteria for i
determination of compliance with the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting l
Conditions for Operation. Under this criteria, equipment, systems or components l
are assumed to be OPERABLE if the associated surveillance activities have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval.
Nothing in this provision is to be construed as defining equipment, systems or components OPERABLE, when such items are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Recuirements.

APPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.4 This specification ensures that the surveillance activities associated wi*t a Limiting Condition. for Operation have been performed within 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-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 plcnt outages, the applicable surveillance activities must be performed within the stated surveillance interval prior 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 AS!!E Code Class 1, 2 and 3 pumps and valves will be performed in accordance with a periodically updated version of Section XI of the.*.SME 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 Commission and is not a part of these Technical Speci fications.
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 Versel Code and applicable Addenda. This clarifica-tion is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout these Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies Ter performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities.
Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements of l l the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda.
For example, the requirements of Specifica-tion 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities prior to entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition takes precedence over the ASME Ebiler 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 nct grant a grace period before a device 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 <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> before being declared inoperable.
