-3/4 LIMITING CONDITIONS FOR OPERATION AND SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS
- 3/4.0 APPLICABILITY LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.0.1 Compliance with the Limiting Conditions for Operation contained in the succeeding specifications is required during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions specified therein; except that upon failure to meet the Limiting Conditions for Operation, the associated ACTION requirements shall be met.
'3.0.2 Noncompliance with a specification shall exist when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION requirements are not met within the specified time intervals.
If the Limiting Condition for Operation is restored prior to expiration of the specified time intervals, completion of the ACTION requirements is not required.
3.0.3 When a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met, except as provided in the associated ACTION requirements, within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> action shall be initiated to place the unit in a MODE in which the specification does not apply by placing it, as applicable, in; a.
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 />, b.
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 3

Where corrective measures.are completed that permit operation under the ACTION requirements, the action may be taken in accordance with the specified time limits as measured from the time of failure to meet the Limiting Condition for 4
Operation.
Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual s specifications.
This specification is not applicable in MODE 5 or 6.
3.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition shall not be made unless the conditions for the Limiting Condition for Operation are' met f
without reliance on provisions contained in the ACTION requirements.
This provision shall not prevent passage through or to OPERATIONAL MODES as required to comply with ACTION requirements.
Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual specifications.
- Where specific instrument numbers are provided in parentheses they are for information only, and apply to each unit unless specifically noted (to assist "m
in identifying associated instrument channels or loops) and are not intended to limit the requirements to the specific instruments associated with the number.

APPLICABILITY LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (Continued) 3.0.5 Unless specifically noted, all the information provided in the Limiting Condition for Operation including the associated ACTION requirements shall-apply to each unit individually.
In those cases where a specification makes reference to systems or components which are shared by both units, the affected systems or components will be clearly identified in parentheses or footnotes declaring the reference to be " common".
Whenever the Limiting Condition for-Operation refers to systems or components which are common, the ACTION 1
requirements will apply to both units simultaneously.
(This will be indicated r
in the ACTION section.) Whenever certain portions of a specification refer to systems, components, operating parameters, setpoints, etc., which are different for each unit, this will be identified in parentheses or footnotes or in the APPLICABILITY section as appropriate.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.0.1-. Surveillance Requirements shall be met during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions specified for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.
4.0.'2 Each Surveillance Requirement shall be performed within the specified time interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance interval.
4.0.3 Failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the specified time interval shall constitute a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.
Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual specifications.
Surveillance Requirements do L
ll not have to be perfor,aed on inoperable equipment.
I 4.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement (s) associated with the Limiting l
Condition for Operation has been performed within the stated surveillance.
interval or as otherwise specified.

3/4.0 APPLICABILITY q
BASES The intent of this provision is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated with either required equipment or systems inoperable or other speci-~
p fled 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 appro-priate specifications.
3.0.5 This specification delineates the applicability of each'specifica-tion to-both Unit I and 2 operations.
In order to make the Technical _Specifica-tions as clear and concise as possible the provisions of each specification,
' including the Limiting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION require-ments, are equally applicable to Unit 1 or Unit 2 unless'a specific exception is noted within the specification.

-APPLICABILITY BASES r
4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed e'
during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the Limiting Condi-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 i
individual specification.
4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances for performing surveillance a tivities beyond those specified in the nominal surveillance interval.
These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and 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 allowable tolerance 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 t
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 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 that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities 's 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 compo-nents 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 E
meeting the Surveillance Requirements.
Items may be determined inoperable during use,'during surveillance tests, or in accordance with this specification.
4.0.4 This specification ensures that the surveillance activities associated with 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-D lance activities have-been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation.
l Under the terms of this specification, for example, during initial plant l
STARTUP or following extended plant outages, the applicable surveillance l
activities must be performed within the stated surveillance interval prior to
[
placing or returning the system or equipment into OPERABLE status.
