4.0.1 Surveillance Requirements shall be applicable during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions specified for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.

4.0.2 Each Surveillance Requirement shall be performed within the specified time interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25% of the surveillance intervtl.

4.0.3 Failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement

Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual specifications.

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

4.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement (s) associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the stated surveillance interval or as otherwise spccified.

b.

Surveillance intervals specified in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda for the inservice inspection and testing activities required by the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda shall be applicable as follows in these Technical Specifications:

FARLEY-UNIT 1 3/4 0-2 AMENDHENT NO.% 93

APPLICASILITY BASES tean that for one division the emergency power source must be OPERABLE (as must be the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (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 M00LS 5 or 6 Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statements for each applicable Limiting Condition for Operation in these MODES must be adhered to.

4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions for which the Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable.

Provisions for additional surveillance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL MODES or other conditions are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.

Surveillance Requirements for Special Test Exception

  • need only be performed when the Special Test Exception is being utilized as an exception to an individual specification.

4.0.2 This specification establis:1es the limit for which the specified time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended.

it permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consioeration of plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities.

The allowable tolerance also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a feel 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; instead, this 'covision should be used to realize a benefit to safety.

The limitation of Specification 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 signifi-cantly 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 OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation.

Under this criteria, equipment, systems or components are assumed to be OPERABLE if C e associated surveillance activities have been satisfactorily perP ad within the specified time interval. Nothing in this provision is

4 construed as defining equipment, systems or components OPERABLE, when su ' items are known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements.

Surveillance Requirements for Special Test Exceptions need only be performed 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 i

time interval for Survol11ance Requirements may be extended.

it permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant operatin may not be suitable for conducting the survelliance; e.g., g conditions that transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities.
