3 BASES-met without regard for allowable deviations and out of-service provisions con-l i
tained in the ACTION statements, j
The intent of this provision is.to ensure'that facility operation is not initiated with either required equipment or systems inoperable or other speci-fied 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 appropri-r ate specifications.
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 Limiting Condi-z l
tions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveillance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL MODES i
or other conditions are provided in the individual-Surveillance Requirements.
l Surveillance Requirements for Special Test Exceptions-need only be performed 3
when the Special Test Exception. is being utilized as an exception to an individual specification.
4.0.2 This specification establishes the -limit for which the specified time interval for surveillance requirements may be extended.
It permits an.
I 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 1
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 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 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 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 0PERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation.
Under these criteria, equipment, systems or components 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 meeting the Surveillance Requirements.
Items may be.
determined inoperable during use, during surveillance tests, or'in accordance with this specification. Therefore, ACTION statements are entered when the i
Surveillance Requirements should have been performed rather than at the time it is discovered that the tests were not performed.
