.v 3/4.0' APPLICABILITY BASES The specifications of this section provide the general reouirements applicable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Operation and Surveillance L
Requirements within Section 3/4 l -
i
- 3. 0,,1 This specification states the applicability of each soecification in terms of defined OPERATIONAL CONDITION ~ and is provided to delineate specifically when each specification is applicable.
3.0.2 This soecification' defines those conditions necessary to constitute l
compliance with the terms of an individual Limiting Condition for Ooeration and associated ACTION reovirement.
3.0.3 This specification delineates the ACTION to be taken for circumstances not directly provided for in the ACTION statements and whose occurrence would violate the intent of the specification.
For example, Specification 3.5.1 calls for the FPCI to De OPERABLE and specifies explicit' i
reoJirements if it become inoperable.
Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3 -
if the reovired additional systems are not OPERABLE, the facility is' to be placed in HOT SHJTOOWN within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and be 1.n COLD SHUT 00WN witnin the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
The unit shall be brought to HOT SHL ' WN and COLD SHUTDOWN within the required times by promptly initiating and carrying out an oroerly shutdown.
It is intended that this guioance also acoly whenever an ACTION statement reauires a unit to be in (at least) STARTUP within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or in (at least) M0T SHUTDOWN within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />.
3.0.4 This specification' provides that entry into an OPERABLE CONDITION-must ce made with- (a) the full: complement of required systems, eculpment or compenents OPERABLE and (c) all other parameters as soecifito in the Limiting Concitions= for Operation being met without regard for allowable deviations ano out of -service provisions contained in the ACTION statements.
The intent of this provision is to insure that facility operation is not initiated with either reovired equipment or systems inocersole or other limits seing exceeded.
Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited. number of I
soecifications when startup with inoperable eculpment woulc not affect plant safety.
These exceotions are stated in the ACTION statements of t".e
,acorcoriate soecificatiens.
3.0.5 When a system, subsystem, train, comoonent, or cevice loses either its normal electrical supply or its emergency electrical supply, the eouipment is still capable of performing its intended function in the recuired manner.
Tne safety analyses are performed assuming the loss of function of a critical piece of eculpment; thus, with a source of electrical power unavailable, a single failure is still required to reach the conditions analyzed in the FSAR.
It is recognized, however, that operation with one source of electrical power unavailable means the system, subsystem, '. rain, component, or oevice is in a degraded mode.
The ACTION statement for the loss of an electrical source is designed to allow operation to continue for a reasonable time while repairs are affected and the lost electrical source returned to service.
Therefore, there is no need for all coulement supplied by the electrical source to be olaced in ACTION statements.

APPLICABILITY BASES-4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necewary to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS for which the Limiting i
Conditions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveil-lance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERA-TIONAL CONDITIONS-are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.
s 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 langth 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 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 pr0 vision is sufficient to ensure l-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, E
systems or components are assumed to be OPERABLE if the associated surveil-I lance activities have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time-interval. Nothing in this provision is to be construed as defining-i equipment, systems or components OPERABLE, when such items are found or i
known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements.
4.0.4 -This specification ensures that surveillance activities l
associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the specified' time interval prior to entry into an applicable L
CONDITION. The intent of this provision is to ensure that surveillance L
activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as L
required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Condition l
.for Operation.
