j 4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the Limitireg Condi-I tions 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 Specification 4.0.2 establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended.
It permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interv.1 to factittate r
surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operatin may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., g conditions that 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 i
with an 18-month surveillance interval.
It is not intended that this provision be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals l
beyond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outages.
The limitation of Specification 4.0.2 is based on 4
engineering judgment 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 j
that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance
- interval, e
)
The tolerance values taken either individuali/ or consecutively over threi test intervals, are,sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability 7 ag~
~
associated with the surveillance activity is not significantty degraded beyond 1
(thatobtainedfromthenominalspecifiedinterval.

4.0.3 The provisions of this specification set forth the criteria for determination of compliance with the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Ctnditions for Operation.
Under this criteria, equipment, systems, or components are assumed to be OPERABLE if the associated surveillance activ-ities 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 eetting the Surveillance Requirements.
