x 3/4 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS
- PPLICABILITY 3/4.0 A
LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.0.1 Limiting Conditions for Operation and ACTION requirements shall be applicable during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other states specified for each specification.
3.0.2 Adherence to the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION within the specified time interval shall constitute compliance with the specification.
In the event the Limiting Condition for Operation is restored prior to expiration of the specified time interval, completion of the ACTION statement is not required.
3.0.3 In the event a Limiting Condition for Operation and/or associated ACTION requirements cannot be satisfied because of circumstances in excess of those addressed in the specification, the facility shall be placed in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 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 following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> unless corrective measures are completed that permit operation under the permissible ACTION statements for the specified time interval as measured from initial discovery or until the reactor is placed in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION in which the specification is not applicable.
Exceptions to these requirements shall be stated in the individual specifications.
3.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified applicability state shall not be made unless the conditions of the Limiting Condition for Operation are met without reliance on provisions contained in the ACTION statements unless otherwise excepted. This provision shall not prevent passage thru OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS required to comply with ACTION requirements.
3.0.5 When a system, subsystem, train, component, or device is determined to be inoperable solely because its emergency power source is inoperable, or i
solely because its normal power source is inoperable, it may be considered OPERABLE for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of its applicable Limiting Condition for Operation, provided:
(1) its corresponding normal or emergency power source is OPERABLE; AND (2) all of its redundant system (s),
subsystem (s), train (s), component (s), and device (s) are OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy the requirements of this specification.
Unless both conditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, the unit shall be placed in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 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 SHUTOOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
This specificaticn is not applicable in Conditions 4 or 5.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.0.1 Surveillance Requirements shall be applicable during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS, or other states specified for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation, unless otherwise stated in the individual Surveillance Requirements.
4.0.2 Each Surveillance Requirement shall be performed within the specified surveillance interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25 percent of the surveillance interval.

APPLICABILITY SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 4.0.3 Performance of a Surveillance Requirement within the specified time interval shall constitute. compliance with OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION statements unless otherwise required by the specification.
Surveillance require-ments do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment.
4.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified applicable state shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement (s) associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the applicable surveillance interval or as otherwise specified.
4.0.5 Surveillance Requirements for inservice inspection and testing of ASME Code Cisss 1, 2, and 3 components shall be applicable as follows:
a.
During the time period:
1.
From issuance of the Facility Operating License to the start of facility commercial operation, inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code 1974 Edition, and Addenda through summer 1975, except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission.
2.
Following start of facility commercial operation, 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 Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a(g), except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50. Section 50.55a(g) (6) (1).
b.
Surveillance intervals specified in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda for.the inservice inspection and testing activities required by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda shall be applicable as follows in these Technical Specifications:

APPLICABILITY i
BASES 4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessar.v to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS for which the Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveil-f lance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERA-i TIONAL CONDITIONS are provided in the individual Surveillance elequirenents.
4.0.2 This specification 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 this specification 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 this criteria, equipment, systems or components are assumed to be OPERABLE if the associated surveil-lance 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.
4.0.4 This specification ensures that surveillance activities associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the specified time interval prior to entry into an applicable CONDITION, The intent of this provision is to ensure that surveillance activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation.
