3/4.0 APPLICABILITY LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.0.1 Compliance with the Limiting Cenditions for Operation contained in the succeeding Specifications is required during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions specified therein; except that upon failure to meet the Limiting Conditions for Operation, the associated ACTION requirements shall be met.
i 3.0.2 Noncompliance with a Specification shall exist when the requirements of the Liiniting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION requirements are not met within the specified time intervals.
If the Limiting Condition for Operation is retored prior to expiration of the specified time intervals, completion of the Action requirements is not requireu.
3.0.3 Whrn a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met., except as provided j
in the astociated ACTION requirements, within one hour action chall be initiated l
to place the unit in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION in which the Specification does not apply by placing it, as applicable, in:
1.
At least STARTUP within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, 2.
At least HOT ShilTDOWN within the following 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, and 3.
At least COLD SHUT 00WN within the subsequent 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Where corrective measures are completed that permit operation under the ACTION requirements, the ACTION may be taken in accordance with the specified time limits I
as measured from the time of failure to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation.
Exceptions to these requirements are stated in the individual Specifications.
This Specification is not applicable in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS 4 or 5.
3.0.4 Entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified conditian shall not be made when the conditions for the Limiting Conditions for Operation are not mec and the associated ACTION requires a shutdown if thcy are not met within a soecified time interval.
Entry in+o an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the ACTION require-j ments when conformance to them permits continued operation of the facility for 1
an unlimited period of time.
This provision shall not prevent passage through or to OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS as required to comply with ACTION requirements.
l Exceptions to these reqtirements are stated in the individual Specifications.

l APPLICABILITY SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.0.1 Surveillar e Requirements shall be met during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS -
or other conditions specified for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation unless utherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement.
4.0.2 Each Surveillance Requirement shall be performed within the specified surveillance interval with a maximum allowable extension not to exceed 25 percent of the specified surveillance interval.
4.0.3 Failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveil-lance interval, defined by Specification 4.0.2, shall constitute nonccmpnance with tne OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.
The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable at the time it is identified that a Surveillance Requirement has not been performed.
The ACTION requiremerits may be delayed for up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to pennit the completion of the surveillance when the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.
Surveillance Requirements do not nave to l'e performed on inoperable equipnent.
4.0.4 Entry into an OPE ETIONAL CONDITION or other specified applicable condi-tion shall not be made unless the Surveillance Requirement (s) associate d with the Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the applicable surveillance interval or as otherwise specified.
This provision shal' not prevent passage through or to OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS as required to comply with ACTION-requirements.
4.0.5 Surveillance Requirements for inservice inspectior, and testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components shall be applicable as follows:
a.
Inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 pumps and valves shall be perfonned in accordant with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and arolicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50 Section 50.55a(g), except wnere specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50 Section 50.55a(g)(6)(1).
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:
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Required frequer.cies L e and applicable Addenda for performing inservice terminology for inservice inspection and testing inspection and testing-activities activities Heekly At least once per 7 days Monthly At least once per 31 days Quarterly or every 3 months At least once per 92 days Semiannually or every 6 months At least once per 184 days Every 9 months At least once per 276 days Yearly or annually At least once per 366 days PERRY - UNIT 1 3/4 0-2 Amendment No. M, 39
g/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES (Continued) time to reach COLD SHUTDOWN, or other OPERATIONAL CONDITION, is not reduced.
For example, if STARTUP 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 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 the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.
Therefore, if remedial measures are completed that would permit a return to POWER operation, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a lower CONDITION of oneration in less than the total time allowed.
The same principle applies with reCard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one specificat results in entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or condition of operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met.
If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, the difference may be added to the allowable outage time limits of the second specification.
However, the allowable outage time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher CONDITION of operation may not be used to extend the allowable catage time that is appiicable when a Limiting Condition for Operation is met in a lower CONDITION of operation.
The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in CONDITIONS 4 and 5, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken.
Specification 3.0.4 establishes limitations on a change in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met.
It precludes placing the facility in a higher CONDITION of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION require-ments if a change in CONDITIONS were permitted. The purpose of this specification is tu ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higber CONDITIONS of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parametert to specified limits.
Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for contined operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a change in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisiens of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to CPERABLE status before plant startup.
When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provi-sions of Specificatien 3.0.4 do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower CONDITION of operation.
Specifications 4.0.1 through 4.0.5 establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the PERRY - UNIT 1 8 3/4 0-3 Amendment No.3d a
3/4.0 ApPLICABILIT.
BASES -(Continued)
^
Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):
" Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration, or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and componcnts is maintained. that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the limiting conditions of operation will be met."
Specification 4.0.1_ establishes-the requirement that surveillances must be performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions for which the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise-stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement._ The purpose of this specifica-tion is to. ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe' operation of-the facility when the plant is in an 0PERATIONAL CONDITION or otNr specified condition for which the individual Limiting Condi-tions for Operation are applicable.
Surveillance Requirements do not have to t'e performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION for which the require-ments of the-associated Limiting Condition for Operation do not apply unless otherwise specified.. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is used as a,i allowable exception to the recoirements of a specification.
- Specification 4.0.2 establishes the' limit for which the specified time interval for Surveillance Requirements
>v be extended.-
It permits an allowable extension of the specified surveillane oterval 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._ It also provides flexibil_ity to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillances that are performed at each refueling outage and are 3pecified with an 18 month surveillance interval.
It is not intended that this provision be-used repeatedly as a convenience to-extend surveillance intervals beyond th_at 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 particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. This provision is sufficient to ensure that U n reli_ ability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval..
- Specification 4.0.3 establishes that the failure to perform a Surveiilance
- Ree Hrement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions
~
of wification 4.0.2, is a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for.0peration.
Under_the provisions of this specification, systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily perfomed within the specified time. interval. However, nothing in.this. provision is to be construed as implying that systems or components are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements.
1r.is specification also clariffes that the ACTION requirements are applicable when Surveillance Requirements have not been completed within the allowed surveil-
. lance interval and that the time limits of the ACTION requirements apply from-the l-PERRY - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-4 Amendment No. 30, 39
