3/4.O APP 1EMIL1H BASES E m 1[1pJtien 3.0.1 threnh_LL3 establish the general requirements j

applicable to Limiting Conditions for Operation.

Those requirements are based l

on the requirements f or Limiting conditions f or Operation stated in the Code

}

of redoral Regulaticns, 10 Crn 50.36(c)(2):

l l

" Limiting conditions for operation are the lowest functional capability l

or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the j

facility. When a limiting conditien for operation of a nuclear reactor is not l

met, the licenses shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action l

permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met."

\\

l Srecification 3 921 establishes the Applicability 6tateient within each l

2 individual specification as the requirement for when (i.e.,

in whi-h j

OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions) conformance to the Limiting l

Conditions for Operation is required for safe operation of the facility.

The

\\

ACTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken l

within specified time limits when the requirements of a Limiting condl. tion f or j

Operation are not met.

l l

There are two basic types of ACTION requirements.

The first specifies the l

remedial measures that permit continued operation of the facility which is not l

further restricted by the time limits of the ACTION requirements.

In this j

case, conformance to the ACTION requirements providos an acceptable level of l

safety for unlimited continued operation as long as the ACTION requirements l

continue to be met.

The second type of ACTION requirement specifies a time l

limit in which conformance to the conditions of the Limiting condition for j

Operatior, must be met.

This timo limit is the allowable outage time to l

restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or for restoring l

paramoters within specified limits.

If these actions are not completed within l

the allowable outage time limits, a shutdown is required to place the facility l

in a MODE or condition in which the specification no longer applies.

It is l

not intended that the shutdown ACTION requiremants be used as an operational l

convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of a system (s) or l

component (s) from servico in lieu of other alternatives that would not result l

in redundant systems or components being inoperable.

The specified time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from tho l

point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not

\\

met.

The time limits of the ACTION requirements are also applicable wb'n a j

system or :omponent is removed from service for surveillance testing or l

investigation of operational problems.

Individual specifications may include l

a specified time limit for the completion of a Surveillance Requirement when l

equipment is removed from service.

In this case, the allowable outage time I

limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable when this limit expires if l

the surveillance has not been ermpleted. When a shutdown is required to l

comply with ACTION requirements, the plant may have entered a HODE in which a l

now specification becomes applicable.

In this case, the time limits of the l

ACTION requirements would apply from the point in time that the new

specification becomes applicable if the requirements of the Limiting Condition j

for Operation are not met.

when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and l

the associated ACTION requirements have not been implemented within the l

specified time interval.

The purpose of this specification is to clarif y that j

(1) implementation of the ACTION requirements within tho specified time l

interval constitutes compliance with a specification and (2) comp 1ntion of the l

remedial measures of the ACTION requiremente is not required when compliance l

with a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval l

l l

grggilitatien 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must be l

implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the l

condition is not specifically Addressed by the associated ACTION requirements.

l The purpose of this specification is to delineste the time llmits for placing l

the unit in a safe shutdown MODE when plant operation cannot be maintained l

within the limits for safe oporrtion defined by the Limiting conditions for l

Operation and its ACTION requirements.

It is not intended to be used as an l

operational convenience which permitg (routine) voluntary removal of redundant j

systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would l

not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour is l

allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant l

operation. This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in l

electrical generation with the load dispatcher to ensure the stability and j

availability of the electrical (cid. The time limits specified to reach lower l

MODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly l

manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the l

cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required l

equipment is OPERABLE.

This reduces thermal stresses on componente of the l

primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could l-challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification l

applies.

l 1

It remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility under the provisions of the ACTION requirements are completed, the shutdown may be terminated.

The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable l

i from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for l

Operation.

Therefore, the shutdown may be terminated if the ACTION l

requirements have been met or the time limits of the ACTION requirements have l

not expired, thus providing an allowance for the completion of the required l

actions.

operation.

If the plant is in a lower MODE of operation when a shutdown is l

required, the time limit for reaching the next lower MODE of operation l

l applies. However, if a lower MODE of operation is reached in less time than l

l allowed, the total allowable time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN, or other applicable l

MODE, is not reduced.

l The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of l

epecification results in entry into a MODE or condition of operation for j

another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting conditten for l

Operation are not met.

If the new specification becomes applicable in less l

time than specified, the dif ference may be added to the allowable outage tin.e j

limits of the second specification.

However, the allowable outage time limits l

of ACTION requirements for a higher MODE of operation may not be used to j

extend the allowable outage time that is applicable when a Limiting Condition l

for Operation is not met in a lower MODE of operation.

The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES $ and 6,-because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken, l

Scecification 3.0.4 establishes limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting

Condition for Operation is not met.

It precludes placing the facility in a l

higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for l

Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would l

result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in l

MODES were permitted.

The purpose of this specification is to ensure that l

f acility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not l

entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a j

specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to l

specified limits.

Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued l

operation of the f6cility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a MODE change.

Therefore, in this case, I

entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or,other specified condition may be made in j

accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements.

The provisions of l

this specification should not, however, be interpreted as wndorsing the l

failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to l

OPERABLE status before plant startup.

l I

When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions l

of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply boeause they would delay placing the l

facility in a lewer MODE of operation.

APPLICABILIIX BASES 3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be satisfied to permtt operation to continue, consistent with the ACTION statements for power sources, when a normal or emergency power source is not OPERABLE.

It specifically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable because its normal or emergency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, train, component or device in another division is inoperable for another respon.

The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statements associated with individual systems, subsystems, trains, components, or devices to be consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power source.

It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the ACTION statement associated with the Limiting condition for Operation for the normal or emergency power source, not the individual ACTION statements for each system, subsystem, traan, component or device that is determined to be inoperable solely because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source.

For example, specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that three emergency I

diesel generators be OPERABLE.

The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> out-of-service time when one emergency diesel generator is not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of specification 3.0.5, all systems subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable emergency power source would also be inoperable.

This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable Limiting conditions for operation.

However, the provisions of specification 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable emergency diesel generator instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied.

In this case, this would mean that the corresponding normal power source must be OPERABLE, and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices must be OPERABLE, or otherwise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performing their design function and have at least one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE).

If they are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

As a further example, specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two physically independent circuits between the offsite transmission netwo64 and the onsite Class IE distribution system be OPERABLE.

The ACTION statement provides a 24-hour out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devi;:L supplied by the inoperable normal power sources, both of the offsite circilito, would also be inoperable.

This would dictate invoking the a pplicabin ACTION statement for the inoperable normal power sources instea l, provited the other specified conditions are satisfied.

In this case, this would me.n that for one division the omergency power source must be OPERABLE (as must bw the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant systena, subsystems, trains, components and devices SALEM - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-4 Amendment No.131

APPLICA$lkIIX bases in the other division must be OPERABLE, or lakewise satisfy Specification 3.0.$ (i.e.,

be capable of performing their design functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE).

In other words, both emergency power sources must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE.

If these conditions are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

In HODES 5 or 6 Spoelfication 3.0.5 is rot applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statements for each applicable Limiting Condition for Operation in these MODES must be adhered to.

Engrificatiene 4.0.1 thrtgch 4.0.5 establish the general requirements l

applicable te Surveillance Requirements.

These requirements are bsAnd on the l

Surveillance Hequirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR l

50.36(c)(3):

l l

" surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, j

calibration, or inspection to ensure that tne necessary quality of systems and l

compunents is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety l

limits, and that the limiting cond,itions of operation will be (et."

l l

Specification _4<0_.1 establishes the requirement that surveillances must be l

performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the l

requirements of the Limiting conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise l

stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.

The purpose of this l

specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the l

operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within l

specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in l

a HODE or other specified condition for which the associated Limiting l

Conditions for operation are applicable, surveillance Requirements do not j

have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL HODE for.which the l

l requirements of the associated Limiting condition for Operation do not apply l

unless otherwise specified.

The Sarveillance Requirements associated with a l

Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is l

used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a specification.

l 4.0.2 Specification 4.0.2 establishes the limit for which the specified l

time interval for surveillance Requirements may be extended.

It permits an allowable extension of the norinal surveillance interval to f acilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that l

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 length of a fuel cycle for surve411ances 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 specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgment and the recognition that the most probable result of any SALEM - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-5 Amendment No.131 I

APPLicABlL11X BASES particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with thn Surveillance Requirements. This provision is rufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval.

gngg111 cation _4 Qi1 establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance l

Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the l

provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure l

to meet the OPERADILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.

l Under the provisioni of this specification, systems and components are assumed l

to be OPERADLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily l

performed within the specified time interval.

However, tiothing in thia l

provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are l

OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting l

the surveillance Requirements.

This specification also clarifles that the l

ACTION requirements are applicable when surveillance Requirements have not l

been completed within the allowed surveillance interval and that the time l

11 mite of the ACT1oM requirements apply f rom the point in time it is l

identified that a surveillance has not boon performed and not at the time l

that the allowed surveillance interval was exceeded.

Completion of the l

Survel11ance Requirement within the allowable outage time limits of the l

ACTION requirements restores compliance with the requirements of l

Specification 4.0.3.

However, this does not negate the fact that the failure l

to have performed the surveillance within the allowed surveillance interval, j

defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the l

OPERADILITY requirements of a Limiting Condition for operation that is l

subject to enforcement action.

Further, the failure to purform a l

surveillance within the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 is a violation of a l

Technical Specification requirement and is, therefore, a reportable event l

under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(1)(H) because it is a condition l

prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications.

l l

If the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are less than l

24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, e.g.,

l Specification 3.0.3, a 24-hour allowance is provided to permit a delay in l

implementing the ACTION requirements.

This provides an adequate time limit to j

complete-Surveillance Requirements that have not been performed. The purpose l

of this allowance is to permit the completion of a surveillance before a j

shutdown is required 7to comply with ACTION requirements or before other l

remedial measures would be required that may preclude completion of a l

surveillance.

The basis for this allowable includes consideration for plant l

conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to l

perform the surveillance, and the safety significance of the delay in l

completing the required surveillance.

This provision also provides a time l

limit for the completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable l

as a consequence of MODE changes imposed by ACT10N requirements and for l

~

completing Surveillance Requirements that are applicable when an exception to l

the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 is allowed.

If a surveillance is not l

completed within the 24-hour-allowance, the time limits of the ACTION l

requirements are applicable at that time.

applicable for entry into the modo at which those conditions would be l

achieved, the time interval, whether it be the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowance or the

l Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment L

because the ACTION requirements define the remedial measures that apply.

However, the Surveillance Requirements have to be met to demonstrate that inoperable equipment has been restored to OPERABLE status.

l l

grecification 4.0 3 establishes the requirement that all applicable l

surveillances must be met before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other l

condition of operation specified in the Applicability statement.

The purpose l

of this specification is to ensure that system and component OPERABILITY

-requirements or parameter limits are met before entry into a MODE or condition f or which these systems and compor, knts ensure saf e operation of the f acility.

l This provision applies to changes in OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified l

conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup.

l Under the provisions of this opscification, the applicable Surveillance Requirements must be parformed within the specified surveillance interval to ensure that the Limiting conditions for Operation are met during initial plant startup or following a plant outage.

. When~a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this could delay placing the facility in a lower MODE of operation.

}/4.O APPilENilllJ BASES 11ElliE811rIL2tQ.1.1htau2hMus estabit sh the general requirement s I

applicable to Limiting Conditions for Operation.

These requirements are based l

on the requirements for Limiting Conditions for Operation stated in the Code l

of rederal Regulations, 10 CrR LO.36(c)(2):

l l

" Limiting conditions for operation are the lowast functional capability l

or performance levels of equipment roquired for safe operation of the l

facility. When a limiting condition for creration of a nuclear reactor is not j

met, the licenree shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action l

permitted by the technical specification until the condition can be met."

l l

1pecificatign_ltQ11 establishes the Applicability statement within each l

.ndividual specification as the requirement for when (i.e.,

in which l

OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified conditions) conformance to the Limiting l

Conditions for Operation in required for safe operation of the facility.

The l

ACTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken l

within specified time limits when the requirements of a Limiting Condition for l

Operation are not met.

l There are two.. sic types of ACTION requirements.

The first specifies the l

remedial measures that permit continued operation of the facility which is nct l

further restricted by the time limits of the ACTION requirements.

In this l

casa, conformance to the ACTION requirements provides an acceptable level of l

safety for unlimited continued operation as long as the ACTION requirements l

continue to be met.

The second type of ACTION requirement specifies a time l

limit in which conformance to the conditions of the Limiting Condition for l

Operation must be met.

This time limit is the allowable outage time to l

restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or for restoring l

parameters within specified limits.

If these actions are not completed within j

the allow _;1e outage time limits, a shutdown is required to place the facility i

in a MODE or condition in which the specification no longer applies.

It is l

not intended that the shutdown ACTION requirements be used as an operational l

convenience which permits (routine) voluntary removal of a system (s) or l

component (s) from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result l

in redundant systems or componento being inoperable.

l l

The specified time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from the l

point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not l

met.

The time limits of the ACTION requirements are also applicable when a j

system or component is removed from service for surveillance testing or l

investigation of operational problems.

Individual specifications may include l

a specified time limit for the completion of a Surveillance Requirement when l

equipment is removed from service.

In this case, the allowable outage time l

limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable when this limit expires if l

the harveillance han not been completed. When a shutdown is required to l

comply with ACTION requirements, the plant may have entered a MODE in which a l

new specification becomes applicable.

In this case, the time limits of the l

ACTION requirements would apply from the point in time that the new l

specification becomes applicable if the requirements of the Limiting Condition l

for Operation are not met.

l SALEM - UNIT 2 0 3/4 0-1 Amendment No.110

_l 1

i APPLICABILITY DASES

}recifiettita_23Qu2 establishes that noncompliance with a specification existe l

when the requirements of the Limiting condition for Operation are not met and l

the associated ACTION requirements have not been implemanted within the j

specified time interval.

The purpose of this specification is to clarify that l

(1) implementation of the ACTION requirements within the specified time l

interval constitutes compliance with a specification and (2) completion of the l

remedial measures of the ACTION requirements is not required when compliance l

with a Limiting Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval j

specified in the associated ACTION requirements.

I I

spectiientien 3.0.3 establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must bo l

implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the l

condition is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTION requirements.

l The purpose of this specification is to delineate thw time limits for placing l

the unit in a safe shutdown HODE when plant operaticu cannot be maintained l

within the limits for safe operation defined 1)y the Limiting Cenditions for l

Operation and its ACTION requirements.

It is riut intended to ho used as an l

operational convenience which permite (routine) voluntary removal of redundant l

systems or components from service in lieu of ether alternatives that would l

not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable. One hour in j

allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before initiating a change in plant l

operation. This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in

/

electrical generation with the losd dispatcher to ensure the stability and

)

availability of the electrical grid. The time limits specified to reach lower l

HODES of operation permit the shutdown to proceed Lu a controlled and orderly l

manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the l

cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required l

equipment is OPERABLE. This reduces thermal stresses on ecmponents of the l

primary coolant system and the potential for a plant upset that could l

challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification j

applies.

l l

If remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility l

under the provisions of the ACTION requirtMents are completed, the shutdown l

may be terminated.

The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicault, l

from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for l

Operation. Therefore, the shotdown may ce terminated if the ACTION l

requirements have beau met or the time 1tmits of the ACTION requirements have l

not expired, thus providing en allowanen for the completion of the required l

l actions.

l l

The time limits of Specifiestion 3.0.3 allow 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> for the plant to be in l

the COLD SHUTDOWN HODE when a shutdown is required during the POWER MODE of l

operation.

If the plant is in a lower MODE of operation when a shutdown is j

required, the time limit for reaching the next lower NODE of operation l

appliee.

However, if a lower MODE of operation is reached in less time than l

allowsd, the total allowable time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN, or other applicable l

HODE, is not reduced.

For example, if HOT STANDBY is reached in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the l

time allowed to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br /> because of the total l

t time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 l

I hours.

Therefore, if remedial measures are completed that would permit a l

SALEM - UNIT 2 8 3/4 0-2 Amendment No.110 1

v APPLICABILITI BASES return to POWER operation, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a l

lower MODE of operation in less than the total time allowed.

l d

1 The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of l

the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one l

specification results in entry into a MODE or condition of operation for l

another specificatt,n in which the requirements.of the Limiting Condition for l

Operation are not met.

If the new specification becomes applicable in less l

time than specified, the difference may be added to the ?llowable outage time l

1-limits of the second specification. However, the allowable outage time limits l

4 of ACTION _ requirements for a higher MODE of operation may not be used to j

extend the allowable outage time that is applicable when a Limiting Condition l

]

for Operation is not met in a lower MODE of operation.

l l

The shutdown reqJirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES 5 and l

~

6, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications defina the l

remedial measures to be taken.

l l

Specifieglion 3.0.4 establishes limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting l

1 Condition for Operation is not met.

It precludes placing the facility in a l

_ higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for l

Operation are not met e.nd continued noncompliance to these conditions would l

result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in l

MODES Mere permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that l

facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not l

entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a l

- specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to l

I specified limits.

Compliance with_ ACTION requirements that permit continued l

operation of the facility for an unlimited period o* time provides an l

3.0.5 This specification delineates what aGditional conditions must be satisfied to permit operaticr to continue, tonsistent with the ACTION statements for power sources, when a normal or emergency power source is not OP?RABLE.

It speelfically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable becauce its normal or emergency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, train, component or device in another division is inoperab'e for another reason.

The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statement 5 associa'ad with individual systems, subsystems, trains, components, or 05 vices to be consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power source.

It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the ACTION statement associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation for the normal c; emergency power source, not the ir,dividual ACTION statementt for onc.)

system, suosystem, train, component or device that is determined to be 4.noperrble solely because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source.

ro example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that three emergency

}

diesel generators be OPERABLE. The ACTION statemcnt provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> out-of-service time when one emergency diesel generator is not OPERABLE.

If the definition

.f OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5, all systems subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable emergency powcr source would also be inoperable.

This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation. However, the provisions of Specification 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operattun to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable emergency diesel generator instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied.

In this case, this would mean that the corresponding normal power source must be OPERABLE, and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, componerts, and devices must be OPERABLE, or otherwise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 1.e.,

be capable of performing their design function and have at least one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE).

If they are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

As a further example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two physically independent circuits between the of f site transmission network and the onsite Class IE distribution system be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides a 24-hour out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERADLE were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable normal power sources, both of the offsite circuits, would also be inoperable.

This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statement for the inoperable normal power sources instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied.

In this case, this would mean that for one division the emergency power source must be OPERABLE (as must be the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundart systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices SALEM - UNIT 2 B 3/4 0-4 Amendment No.110

APPLICABILITY BASES in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performing their decign functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE).

In other words, both emergency power sources must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE.

If these conditions are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

In MODES 5 or 6 Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statements for each applicable Limiting Condition for Opet etion in these MODES must be adhered to.

Specifications 4.0.1 throuch 4.0.5 establish the general requirements l

applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the l

Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR l

50.36(c)(3):

l l

" Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, l

caltbtation, or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and l

componente iu maintained, trat facility operation will be within safety j

limite, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."

l I

specification 4.0 1 establishes the requirement that surveillances must be l

2 perfor:Aed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the j

requirements of the Limiting conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise l

stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.

• he purpose of this l

specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the l

operational status of systems and camponents and that parameters are within j

specified limits to ensure safe operation of.the facility when the plant is in l

a MODE or other specified condit'on for which the associated Limiting j

conditions for Operation are applicable.

Surveillance Requirements do not l

have to be performed when the f acility is 'in an OPERATIONAL MODE for which the l

• equirements of the associated Limiting condition for Operation do not apply l

.nless otherwise specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a l

Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is

'l used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a specification.

4.0.2 Specification 4.0.2 establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for survalliance 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 fos conducting the surveillance; e.g.,

transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities.

It also 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 Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgement and the recognition that the rost probable result of any SALEM - UNIT 2 B 3/4 0-5 Amendment No.110 e

AT'LICABILITY BASES particular surveillance being porformed 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, grecification 4.0.3 establishes the failure to perform a surveillance l

Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the l

provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure l

to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.

l Under the provisions of this specification, systems and component s are assumed l

to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisf actorily l

performed within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this l

provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are l

OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still moeting l

the Surveillance Requirements.

This specification also clarifies that the l

ACTION requirements are applicable when Surveillance Requirements have not j

been completed within the allowed surveillance interval and that the time l

limits of the ACTION requirements apply from the point in time it is l

identified that a surveillance has not been performed and not at the time l

that the allowed surveillance interval was exceeded.

Completion of the l

Surveillance Requirement within the allowable outage time limits of the l

ACTION requirements restores compliance with the requirements of l

Specification 4.0.3.

However, this does not negate the fact that the failure l

to have performed the surveillance within the allowed surveillance interval, j

defined by the provisions of specification 4.0.2, was a violation of the l

OPERABILITY requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation that is l

subject to enforcement action.

Further, the failure to perform a j

surveillance within the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 is a violation of a l

Technical Spoelfication requirement and is, therefore, a reportable event l

under the requirements of 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(1)(B) because it is a condition l

prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications.

l 1

If the allowable outage timo limits of the ACTION requirements are less than l

24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, e.g.,

l Specification 3.0.3, a 24-hour allowance is provided to permit a delay in l

implementing the ACTION requirements. This provides an adequate time limit to l

complete Surveillance Requirements that have not been performed. The pu pose l

of this allowance is to permit the completion of a surveillance before a j

shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements or before other l

remedial measures would be required that may preclude completion of a j

nurveillance.

The basis for this allowable includes consideration for plant l

conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to l

perform the curveillance, and the safety significance of thu delay in l

completing the required surveillance. This provision also provides a time l

limit for the completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable l

as a consequence of MODE changes imposed by ACTION requirements and for j

completing Surveillance Requirements that are applicable when an exception to l

the requirements of Specification 4.0.4 is allowed.

If a surveillance it not l

completed within the 24-hour alle - ance, the time limits of the ACTION l

requirements are applicable at t time.

the time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at the time that the l

surveillance is terminated.

If a surveillance test is to be performed when l

certain conditions exist and the provisions of Specification 4.0.4 are not l

applicable for entry into the mode at which those conditions would be j

achieved, the time interval, whether it be the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowance or the l

allowed outage time of the action statement, begins when the plant reaches the l

conditions necessary to perform the test.

l I

Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment l

because the ACTION requirements define the remedial measures that apply.

l However, t.he Surveillance Requirements have to be met to demonstrate that l

inoperables equipment has been restored to OPERABLE status.

l l

Specification 4.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable l

surveillances must be met before entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other l

condition of operation specified in the Applicability statement.

The purpose l

of this specification is to ensure that system and component OPERABILITY requiroments or parameter limits are met before entry into a MODE or condition for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the facility.

l This provision applies to changes in OPERATIONAL MODES or other specified l

conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup.

l 1

Under the provisions of this specification, the applicable Surveillance l

Requirements must be performed within the specified surveillance interval to l

ensure that the I.imiting Conditions for Operation are met during initial plant l

.startup or following a plant outage.

l l

When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions l

of Specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this could delay placing the l

facility in a lower MODE of operation.

l l

Specification 4.0.5 establishes the requirement that inservice inspection of l

ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code l

Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valvas shall be performed in accordance with a l

periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and pressure j

Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a.

These requirements l

apply except when relief has been provided in writing by the Commission..

l 1

This specification includes a clarification of the f requencies for performing l

the inservice inspectLon and testing activities required by Section XI of the l

ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. This l

clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals l

throughout the Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative l

to the f requencies for performing the required inservice inspection and l

testing octivities.

l 1

Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements of l

the Technical Specifications take precedence over the ASKE Boiler and Pressure l

Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. The requirements of Specification 4.0.4 l
