the testing of one system, subsystem, train or other designated-component at'the beginning of each subinterval, 1.24 SUFVEILLANCE REOUIRFMENTS Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to assure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within the safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met. Each surveillance requirement shall be performed within the specified time interval with a maximum allowable extension aot to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval.*

Surveillance requirements for systems end components are applicable only during the modes of operation for which the system or components are

required to be operable, unless otherwise stated in the specification.

This definition 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, eg., 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 a fuel cycle length 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 this definition 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 l Requirements. This provision is sufficient.to ensure that the reliability i ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval.

1.25 FIRE SUPPRESSION WATER SYSTEM l'

A FIRE SUPPRESSION WATER SYSTEM shall consist of a water source; pump; and distribution piping with associated sectionizing control or isolation valves. Such valves shall include yard hydrant curb valves, and the first valve _ ahead of the water flow alarm device on each sprinkler, home ,

stand-up or spray system riser. l l

1.26 FRACTION OF LIMITING POWER DENSITY fFLPD) i The fraction of limiting power density is the ratio of the linear heat generation rate (LHGR) existing at a given location to the design LHGR for that bundle type.

L  !

! 1.27 MAXIMUM FRACTION OF LIMITING POWER DENSITY (MFLPD) l 1

The maximum fraction of limiting power density in the highest value existing in the core of the fraction of limiting power density (FLPD).

• Not applicable to containment leak rate test.

.1.30 REPORTABLE EVENT A REPORTABLE EVENT shall be any of those conditions specified in Section 50.73 to 10 CFR Part 50.

1.31 IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE IDENTIFIED' LEAKAGE is that leakage which is collected in the primary containment equipment drain tank asid eventually transferred to radwasto for processing.

$ 1.32 UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE UNIDENTIFIED LEAKAGE is all measured leakage that is other than -

identified leakage.

1.33 PROCESS CONTROL PLAN The PROCESS CONTROL PLAN shall generally describe the essential

'1.34 AUGMENTED OFFGAS SYSTEM (AOG)

The AUGMENTED OFFGAS SYSTEM is a system designed and installed to

-holdup and/or process radioactive gases from the main condenser offgas system

,for the purpose of reducing the radioactive material content of the gases

! before release to the environs.

.1.35 MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC is a person who is not occupationally associated with GPU Nuclear and who does not normally frequent the Oyster.

' Creek Nuclear Generating Station site.- The category does not include  !

1.38 EXCLUSION AREA ,

EXCLUSION AREA is defined in 10 CFR part 100.3(2). As used in these technical specification, the Exclusion Area boundary is the perimeter line around the OCNGS beyond which the land is neither owned, leased, nor otherwise subject to control by GPU (ref. ODCM Figure 1-1). The area outside .

the Exclusion Area is termed OFFSITE. l 1.39 REACTOR VESSEL PRESSURE TESTING 1:

System pressure testing required by ASME Code Section XIf Article IWA-5000, including system leakage and hydrostatic tests, with reactor vessel completely water solid, core not critical and section 3.2.A satisfied.

1.40 SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES are those which affect the activities associated with a document or the document's meaning or intent. Examples of Enon-substantive cha'nges ares (1) correcting spelling, (2) adding (but not deJeting) sign-off spaces, (3) blocking in notes, cautions, etc, (4) changes in corporate and personnel titles which do not reassign responsibilities and which are not referenced in_the Appendix A Technical Specifications, and (5)

-changes in nomenclature or editorial changes which clearly do not change function, meaning or intent.

1.41 DOSE EOUIVALENT I-131 DOSE EQUIVALENT I-131 shall be that concentration of-I-131 microcuries per gram which alone would produce the same ttfroid dose as the quantity and isotopic mixture of I-131, I-132, I-133, I-134, and I-135

.actually present. The thyroid dose conversion factors used for this calculation shall be those listed in Table E-7 or Regulatory Guide 1.109,
