1 DEFINITIONS i
ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES RESPONSE TIME 1.13 The ENGINEERED SAFETY FEATURES (ESF) RESPONSE TIME shall be that time interval from when the monitored parameter exceeds its ESF Actuation Setpoint at the channel sensor until the ESF equipment is capable of performing its safety function (i.e., the 1
valves travel to their required positions, pump discharge pressures reach their required values, etc.). Times shall include diesel generator starting and sequence loading delays where applicable.
1 FRE0VENCY NOTATION 1.14 The FREQUENCY NOTATION specified for the performance of Surveillance Requirements shall correspond to the intervals defined in Table 1.1.
IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE 1.15 IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE shall be:
l a.
Leakage (except CONTROLLED LEAKAGE) into closed systems. such as pump seal or valve packing leaks that are captured and concucted to a sump or collecting tank, or j
b.
Leakage into the containment atmosphere from sources that are both specifi-cally located and known either not to interfere with the operation of Leakage Detection Systems or not to be PRESSURE BOUNDARY LEAKAGE. or c.
Reactor Coolant System leakage through a steam generator to the Secondary Coolant System.
MASTER RELAY TEST 1.16 A MASTER RELAY TEST shall be the energization of each master relay and verification of OPERABILITY of each relay. The MASTER RELAY TEST shall include a i
continuity check of each associated slave relay.
MEMBER (S) 0F THE PUBLIC C
1.17 MEMBER (S) 0F THE PUBLIC shall include all persons who are not occupationally associated with the plant. This category does not include employees of the licensee.
its contractors, or vendors. Also excluded from this category are persons who enter the site to service equipment or to make deliveries. This category does include persons who F
use portions of the site for recreational, occupational, or other purposes not associated with the plant.

ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS HIGH RADIATION AREA (Continued) b.
A radiation monitoring device which continuously integrates the radiation dose rate in the area and alarms when a preset integrated dose is received. Entry into such areas with this monitoring device may be made after the dose rate levels in the area have been established and personnel have been made knowledgeable of them; or c.
An individual qualified in radiation protection procedures with a radiation dose rate monitoring device, who is responsible for providing positive control over the activities within the area and shall perform periodic radiation surveillance at the frequency specified by the Radiation Protection Manager in the RWP.
6.12.2 In addition to the requirements of Specification 6.12.1, areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels greater than 1000 mR/h at 45 cm (18 in.) from the radiation source or from any surface which the radiation penetrates shall be provided with locked doors to prevent unauthorized entry, and the keys shall be maintained under the administrative control of the Shift Supervisor on duty and/or health physics super-vision. Doors shall remain locked except during periods of access by personnel under an approved RWP which shall specify the dose rate levels in the immediate work areas and the maximum allowable stay time for individuals in that area. In lieu of the stay time specification of the RWP. direct or remote (such as closed circuit TV cameras) conti-nuous surveillance may be made by personnel qualified in radiation prote: tion procedures to provide positive exposure control over the activities being performed within the area.
i For individual high radiation areas accessible to personnel with radiation levels of greater than 1000 mR/h that are located within large areas, such as PWR containment.
where no enclosure exists for purposes of locking, and where no enclosure can be reasonably constructed around the individual area, that individual area shall be barricaded, conspicuously posted. and a flashing light shall be activated as a warning device.
6.13 PROCESS CONTROL PROGRAM (PCP) 6.13.1 The PCP shall be approved by the Commission prior to implementation.
6.13.2 Licensee-initiated changes to the PCP:
a.
Shall be submitted to the Commission in the Annual Radioactive Effluent l

shall contain:
1)
Sufficiently detailed information to totally support the rationale for the change without benefit of additional or supplemental information:
2)
A determination that the change did not reduce the overall conformance of the solidified waste product to existing criteria for solid wastas: and 3)
