4.0.1 This specification establishes the reouirement that surveillances must be performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions for which the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless othemise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose 2f this specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the operational status of systans and comoonents and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility wnen the plant is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition for which the individual Limiting Concitions for Operation are applicable. Surveillance Requirements do not have to be perfonned wnen the f acility is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION for which the requirements of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation do not apply unless othemise specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Excep-tion is used as an allowaole exception to the requiy@tsgma of a specification, 4.0.2 This specification establishes the nconoinens-undee wnich the spe-

ified time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extenced.f 4tesHer D 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. )Jtee-e-+4mRs-the 3Q un 0f the-prev 444sas-of-4tesar--te-enswee--that it is-not-usee-repeatedly-to-

Under the pro-

! visions of this specification, systems and comoonents are assumed to be OPERABLE wnen Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this provision is to be construed as implying that systems or unponents are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements. This specification also clarifies that the ACTION requirements are applicaule when Surveillance Requirments have not been completed within the allowed surveil-l lance interval and thit the time limits of the ACTION requirements apply from l the point in time it 13 identified that a surveillance has not been performed and not at the time tha' the allowed surveillance interval was exceeded. Com-pletion of the Surveillance Requirement within the allowaole outage time limits of the ACTION requirements restores compliance with the requirements of Specifi-cation 4. 0. 3. However, this does not negate the fact that the failure to have performed the surveillance within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the OPERABILITY GRAND GULF-UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-4 Amencment No. 69,_._

It also provides ticxibility t so modate the icngth of a fumi cycle for surveillances that are perforeca at each refueling outage and are sr-af fled with an 18-month surveillance interval. It is not inteided that this ,irov.sion be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervaln beyond that specified for sorveillances that are not performed during refueling outages.
