9 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY L
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.
In the event of a disagreement between the requirements stated in these Technical Specifications and that stated in an applicable Federal Regulation or Act the requirements stated in the applicable Federal Regulation or Act shall take precedence and shall be met.
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 The specification delineates the measures to be taken for those circum-i stances not directly provided for in the ACTION statements, and whose occurrence would violate the intent of a specification.
For example, Specification 3.5.2 requires two independent ECCS subsystems to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements if one ECCS subsystem is inoperable.
Under the requirements of Specification 3.0.3, if both the required ECCS subsystems are inoperable, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> measures must be initiated to place the unit 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 Containment Spray System is inoperable.
Under the requirements of Specification 3.0.3 if both the required Containment Spray Systems are inoperable, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> measures must be initiated L
to place the unit 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 />, in at least HOT l
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 COLD SHUTDOWN within the subsequent 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
it is acceptable to initiate and complete a reduction in OPERATIONAL MODES in a shorter time interval than required in the ACTION statement and to add the unused portion of this allowable out-of-service time to that period for opera-t tion in subsequent lower OPERATIONAL MODE (S).
Stated allowable out-of-service times are applicable regardless of the OPERATIONAL MODE (S) in which the inoperability is discovered but the times provided for achieving a mode reduction are not applicable if the inoperability is discovered in a mode lower than the applicable mode.
For l
example, if the Containment Spray System was discovered to be inoperable while in STARTUP, the ACTION Statement would allow up to 156 hours0.00181 days <br />0.0433 hours <br />2.579365e-4 weeks <br />5.9358e-5 months <br /> to achieve COLD SHUTDOWN.
If HOT STANDBY is attained in 16 hours1.851852e-4 days <br />0.00444 hours <br />2.645503e-5 weeks <br />6.088e-6 months <br /> rather than the allowed 78 hours9.027778e-4 days <br />0.0217 hours <br />1.289683e-4 weeks <br />2.9679e-5 months <br />, 140 hours0.00162 days <br />0.0389 hours <br />2.314815e-4 weeks <br />5.327e-5 months <br /> would still be available before the plant would.be required to be in COLD SHUTDOWN.
However, it this system was discovered to be inoperable while in HOT STANDBY, the i
6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> provided to achieve HOT STANDBY would not be additive to the time available l
to achieve COLD SHUTDOWN so that the total allowable time is reduced from 156 hours0.00181 days <br />0.0433 hours <br />2.579365e-4 weeks <br />5.9358e-5 months <br /> L
to 150 hours0.00174 days <br />0.0417 hours <br />2.480159e-4 weeks <br />5.7075e-5 months <br />.

APPLICABILITY BASES 3.0.4 This specification provides that entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition must be made with:
(1) the full complement of required systems, equipment, or components OPERABLE and (2) all other parameters as specified in the Limiting Conditions for Operation being met without regcrd for allowable deviations and out-of-service provisions contained in the ACTION state-ments.
The intent of this provision is to ensure that facility operation is not t
initiated with either required equipment or systems inoperable or other specified limits being exceeded.
t
' Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of specifications when startup with inoperable equipment would not affect plant 3
safety. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appropriate specifications.
4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities neassary to ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be perfwmed 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 This specification establishes the limit for which the specified surveillance interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended.
It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveil-lance 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 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 interval.
4.0.3 The provisions of this specification set forth the criteria for determination of compliance with the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation.
Under these criteria, equipment, systems or components 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 Requirements.
Items may be determined inoperable during use, during surveillance tests or in accordance with this specification. Therefore, ACTION statements are entered when the Surveillance Requirements should have been performed rather than at the time it is discovered that the tests were not performed.
