In this inoperable emergency power source, diesel generator system case, this would mean that for one division the emergency A or B, would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking power source must be OPERABLE (as must be the components the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant Limiting Conditions for Operation. However, the provisions of systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in the Specification 3.0.E. permit the time limits for continued other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the Specification 3.0.E.
