DELINITIO*iS 1.0 DEFINED TERMS 1.1 The DEFINED TERMS of this section appear in capitalized type and are applicable throughout these Technical Specifications.

THERMAL POWER 1.2 THERMAL POWER shall be the total reactar core heat transfer rate to the reactor coolant.

RATED THERMAL POWER 1.3 RATED THERMAL POWER shall be a total reactor core heat trarsfer rate to the reactor coolant of 2700 MWt.

OPERATIONAL MODE 1.4 An OPERATIONAL MODE shall correspond to any one inclusive combination of core reactivity condition, power level and average reactor coolant temperature specified in Table 1.1.

ACTION 1.5 ACTION shall be that part of a Specification which prescribes remedial measures required under designated conditions.

OPERABLE - OPERABILITY 1.6 A system, subsystem, train, component or device shall be OPERABLE or have OPERABILITY when it is capable of performing its specified function (s).

Implicit in this definition shall be the assumption that all necessary attendant instrumentation, controls, normal and emergency electrical power sources, cooling or seal water, lubrication cr other required auxiliary equipment that are required for the system, subsystem, train, component or device to perform its function (s) are also capable of performing their related support function (s).
