Simulated Automatic Actuation - Simulated automatic actuation means applying a simulated signal to the sensor to actuate the circuit in question.

8.A Source Check - A SOURCE CHECK shall be the qualitative assessment of channel response when the channel sensor is exposed to a source of l

radioactivity.

9.

Trie svatem -A trip system means an arr.angement of instrument channel trip signals and auxiliary equipment required to initiate action to accomplish a protective function.

A trip system may require one or more instrument channel trip signals related to one or more plant parameters in order to initiate trip system action.

Initiation of protective action may require the tripping of a single trip system or the coincident tripping of two trip systems.

J.

timitina conditions for onoration (Leo) - The limiting conditions for operation specify the

4=4=

acceptable levels of system performance necessary to assure safe startup and operation of the facility.

When these conditions are met, the plant can be operated safely and abnormal situations can be safely controlled.

Limiting Conditions for Operation (LCO) shall be applicable during the operational conditions specified for each specification.

Adherence to the requirements of the LCO within the specified time interval shall constitute compliance with the specification. In the event the LCO is restored prior to expiration of the specified time interval, completion of the LCO action is not required.

In the event an LCO cannot be satisfied because of circumstances in excess of those addressed in the specification, the facility shall be placed in HOT SHUTDOWN within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> unless corrective measures are completed that permit operation under the LCO for the specified time interval as measured from initial discovery.

Exception to these requirements shall be stated in the individual specifications.

Entry into an operational condition or other specified condition shall not be made when the conditions for the Limiting Conditions for Operation are not met and the associated action requires a shutdown if they are not met.

within a specified time interval. Entry into an operational condition or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the action requirements when conformance to them permits continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time.

This provision shall not prevent passage through or to operational conditions as required to comply I

with action requirements. Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual Specifications.

This specification is not applicable in the cold condition or the refueling mode.

When a system, subsystem, train, component or device is determined to be inoperable solely because its emergency power source is inoperable, or solely because its normal power source is inoperable, it may be considered OPERABLE for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of its applicable Limiting condition for Operation, provided:

(1) its corresponding normal or emergency power source is OPERABLE; and (2) all of its redundant system (s),

subsystem (s),

train (s),

component (s) and device (s) are OPERABLE, or Iikewise satisfy the requirements of this specification.

Unless both corditions (1) and (2) are satisfied, the unit shall be placed in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and in at least COLD SHUTDOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.

This specification is not applicable in the cold condition or the refueling mode.

L4m4 tina safety Evstem Eattina fLESE1 The limiting safety system settings are settings on instrumentation which initiate the automatic potective action at a level such that the safety limits will not be exceeded.

The region between the safety limit and these settings represent a margin with normal operation lying below these settings. The margin has been established so that with proper operation of the l

instrumentation the safety limits will never be exceeded. Amendment 26,89,99,168
