.f-f, LIMITING CONQ1 TION FOR _0PERAIl01(centinued), \\ 3.0.5 When a system, subsystem, train, coeponent or device is determined to be inoperable solely because its emergency power source is inoperable, or solely because its normal Tower source is inoperable, it may be considered OPERABLE for the purpose of satisfying the requirementa c! its applicab'le Limiting Condition for Operation, providedi (1) its corresponding normal or ttergency power source la CPERABLE and (2) all of its redundant systems (s),~ subsystem (s), train (s), component (s) and device (s) ers OFERABLE; ct likewise satisfy the requirements of this specification. Unless both conditions (1) and (2) are satis fied, withi*: 2 hours action shall be initiated to plae+. the vnit in.an OPERATING CONDITION in which the applicable Limiting Cond uion for Operation does not appif by placing it, as applicable, in : 1. At least HOT STANDBY sithin the next 6 heut*. 2. At least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hours, and 3. At least COLD SHUTDOWN within the subsequsnt 24 hours. This Specification is not applicable in Cold Shutdown or Refuoling Shutdown. OASES 3_.0.1 through 3.0.4 Establish the general requirements applicable to Lietting Conditions for Operation. These requirements are based on the requirements for Limiting Conditions for Operation stated in the Code of Federal . Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2): " Limiting conditions for operation are the lovest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required -for safe op. ration of the facility. When a limiting condition for operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shutdown the reactor or follow any remedial Accion permitted by the-Technical Specifien. tion until the condition can be met." 3,0.1 Establishes the ApplicNb111ty statement within each individual Specification at the require, ment for when (i.e., in wnich operational modes or other specified conditions) conformance to the Limiting Conditions for Operation _is required for safe operation,:1 the facility. The Action requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified time limits when the requirements of a Liniting Condition for t Operation are not met. l There are two basic types of Action requireannu. The first specifies the l- - remedial asamures that permit continued operation of the facility which is not further restricted by the time limits of the Action requirements. In this case, conformance to the Action requirements provides an acceptable level of safety for unlimited continued operation as long am the Action requirements continue to be met. The second type of Action requirement specifies a time limit-in which conforasnce to the conditions of the Lleiting Condition for L Operation must be met. This time limit is the allowable outage time to l 1 Amendwent No. 57,161 15b .) _,A
~ ~ gr 4. s:y f-IMILLtnatimttM } restore an inepetable system or component to GPERABLE status or for restoring parameters within specified !;mits. If these Actions are not ct;mpleted within f-the allowabin outsgm time 11eits, a shutdown is required to place the facility in a mode or condition in which the Specification no longer applies. It is not intended that ths shutdown Action requirerents be used as an operational convenience which permles (routive =Nntary resoval of a system (s) or component (s) fnom sarwiev in lieu of other iternatives that would not result In redundent systees or componenta be Ng inoperable. The specifled time limits of the Action requirements are applicable from the point in time it is identified that a Limiting Condition for Operation is not est. The eles limits of the Action requirements are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service for surveillence tescing or investigation of operational problems. Individus1 Specifications may include a specified time limit for the completion of a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service. In this case, the allowable outage time limits of the Action requi*ements are applier.ble when this limit expires if the surveillance has not been completed. When a shutdown is required to coceply with Actioa requiremants, the plant say have entered a modw in which a new specification bee nes applicabl9. In this case, the time limits of the Action requirements would r.pply free the point in time that the new specification becomes applicable if the requiroents of the Limiting Condition for Operetion are not met. 3jfj Fstab'.ishes that noncompliance with a Specitication exists when the tr.quirement s of the Limiting Condition for Opera Lon are not set and the associated Action requirements hsve not been implemented within the specified cime interval. The purpose of this specificatien is to clarify that (1) implementation of the Action requires ents within the specif *ed time interval constitutes conpliance with a Specification and (2) completion of the remedial measures of the Action raquirements is not required when compliance with a Limiting Condition for Operation is restored within the time interval specified in the associated Action requirements. 3.0.3 Establishes the shutdown Action requirements that must he implemented when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met and the condition is not specifically addressed by the associated Action requireannta. The purpose of this specif1 cation is to delineato the time limits for placing the unit in a safe shutdown mcde when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation defined by the Limiting Conditions for Operation and its Action requirements. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience which persits (routine) voluntary removal of redundant systems or components fres service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in -redundant systaus or componente being inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for an orderly shutdown before inittsting a change in plant operation. r This time permits the operator to coordinate the reduction in electrical generat!.on with the load dispatchsr to ensure the stability and availability r:f the electrical grid. The time limits specified to reach lower modes of operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly i i L l Asendment No. J/,161 15c __.m._,

cooldown espabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required . equipment is OPERABLE. This reduus thermal stresses on components of the primary coolant system and tha potential for's plant. upset that could challenge safety systems under conditions for which this specification applies. If remedial stssures permitting limited cortinud operation of the facility under the provisions of the Action requirements are completed, the shutdown may.ba terminated.. The time limitr of the Action requirements are applicable from the point in time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for Operation. -Therefore, the shutdown may be terminated if the Action requirements have been met or the time timits of the Action requireeents have not expired,' thus providing sn. allowance for the completson of the. required Actions. The time limits of-Specifiest.fon 3.0.3 allow 37 houro (or the plent to be in the' COLD SHUTD0VN condition when a shutdown is~ required during the POWER modo o! operation. If the plart is in a lower mode of operation when a shutdown is r44uired,' the time limit for reachirs ;he next lower mode of operation applies. However, if a lowee mode of operation is reached in less time than allowed, the total allowable time to each COLD SHUTDOWN, or other applicable rode, is not reduced.- For example, if HOT STANDBY is reached in 2 hours, the time allowed to rea:h HOT SHUTDGVN is the next 11 hours because the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours.
- Therefore,-if remedial measure *: are completed.that would permit a return to p0VER operation, a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a. lower mode of ope::ation in 'less than the total time allowed.
The same principle applies with regard te che allowable outage time limits of the Action requirements, if complie.nce with the Action requirements for one specification resulcs in entry into a mode or condition of operation for. another ipecification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operction are not met. If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, ~ the difference may be added to the allowable outage time limit: of the socond specification. Ikwever, the allowable outaae time lialt8 of Action requirements for a highet mode of operation may not be used to extend the dlowable outage time that is egplicable when a Limiting Conlition for Operation is not set in a. lower mode of operation. The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in COLD SHUTDOWN and REMELING SHUTDOWN, because the Action requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be teken.
3.0.4 Establishes
limitations on mode changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher mode 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 requirements Af a change in modes were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not Amendment No. 161 15d ,m.

Compliance with Action requirements that permit continued operation of the facility 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 af ter a modo charge. Therefore, in this case, if the requirements for continued operation have been met in accordance with the requireeents of the specificat ter, then entry into that mode of operation is permissible. The provisions of this specification should n: t, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoria-systems or components to OPERABLE st,stus before plant startup. When a shutdown is required to comply with Action requirements the provisions of Specification 3.0.4 do not apply because th9y would delay ' cing the facility in T lower mode of cperstion. For the purpose of compliance with this specification the term ' shutdown' is defined as a required reduction in the REACTOR OPERATING CONDITION. 3.0.3 Delineates whac additieaal conditions must be satiarted to permit operation to continue when a normal or emergency power source is not OPERABLE. It specifically prohibits operatien when one division is inoperable because its normal or energoney pcwer source is $noperable and a spitem, subsystem, train, compoaent et device in another division is inoperable for another reasoG. 7ho provisions of this specification permit the Limiting Condition for Operation statementh associatei with individual systems, subsystems, traina, components or devices to be consistent with the Limiting Condition for Operation stateatuts of the associated electrical power source. It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the Limiting Condition for Operation for the norssi or emergency power source, not the individual Limiting Coadition for Operation statements for eac*r systes, subsystem, train, componer.t or devica that is determined to be inoperable solely because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source. For example, Specification 3.7.2.C provides for a 2 day cut-of-service time when one emergency diesel generator in not OPERABLE. If the definition of OPERABLE were appli.d without consideeation of Specification 3.0.5., all systems, subsystems, trains, componet. 4 and devices supplied by the inoperable emergency power soutco would also bs inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable Action statements for wach of tbc applicable Limiting Conditions for 0,eretico.

Operability of the fire detection instrumentation ensures that operable warning capability is available for the prompt detection of fires. This capability is required in order to detect and locate fires in their early stages. Prompt detection of fires will reduce the potential for damage to safety related equipeent. In the event tha a portion of the fire detection instrumentation is inoperable,,the satablisheent of frequent fire patrols in the affected areas (s) is required to provide detection capability until the inopetable instrumentation is restored to operability. 1 Amendment No. J#, 5), 57, lig, 161 55d l

The purpose of this specification is-to ensure that surveillances are performad to verify the operational'sta'.a e.V systems and compcnents and that parameters are within specified limits to ensure safe operat. ton-of the faellity when the plant is in a mode or other specified condition for which the' associated Limiting Conditiens for Operation are applicable.

.. ~ - /f 1 I,. d. MEES (continued 1 3 4.0.2 Establishes the limit for which the specified time interval for Survel11snee 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 say not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or 1 other ongoing surveillance or esintenance activities. It also provides flexibility to accommodate the length of a fuel cycle for surveillaric.s that are performed at each refueling outege and are specified with an t 18n anth surveillance interval. It is not intended that this prevlolon be vseo repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals bevond that specified for surveillances that are not performed during refueling outages. The Ifmitation of Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgemetic 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 significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance intervals. 4.0.3 Establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation. Under the provisions of this specification, systems end components are assumed to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements nave been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. However nothing in this provision is to be construed as leplying that systeer er components are OPERABLE when they are found or known to be inoper,4. although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements. This spect son also clarifies that the Action requirseents are applicable when Surs illance Requirements have not been completed within the allowed surMilance interval and that the time limits of the' Action requirements apply from the point in time it .is identified that a surveillance has not been performed and not at the time that the allowed surveillance interval was creeeded. Completion of the Surveillance Requirement within tbs allowable outage time limits of the Action requirements restores compliance with the requirements of Specification 4.0.3. However, this does not negate the fact that the failure to have performed the surveillance within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2 was a violation of the OPERA.81LITY requireewis of a Limiting Condition for Operation that is subject to enforcement action. Turther, the failure to perform a curve 111ance within the provisions of Spacification 4.0.2 is a violation of a Technical Specification requirement and is, therefore, a reportable event under the requirements of 10CTR 50.73(a)(2)(1)(3) because it is a condition prohibited by the plant's Technical Specifications. If the ellowable outage time limits of the Action requirements are less than 24 hours or a shutdown is required to comply with Action requirements, e.g., Specification 3.0.3, a 24-hour allowance is provided to permit a delay in implementing the Action requirements. This provides an adequate ties limit to complete Surveillance Requirements that have not been performed. The purpose of this allowance is to permit the completion of a surveillance before a shutdown is. required to cosply with Action i requirements or before other remedial measures would be required that may precluds coepistion of.a surveillance. The basis for this allowance L Amendment No. 161 67c .,. _ ~.
~. - - - - .e I,, 4 '] !MES (rantinuedl ),' includes consideration for plant conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time to tred to perform the surveillance, f and the safety significance of the del.y in completing the seguired i surfaillance. This provision also provides a time limit for the completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable as a consequence of mode changes imposed by Action requirements and for completing Surveillance Requirements that are applicable when an exception to the require ents of Specificatien 4.0.4 is allowed. If a surveillance is not coepleted wi.hin the 24 hour allowance, the time limits of the Action requirements are applicable at that time. When a surveillance is performed within the 24 hour allowance and the Surveillance Requirements are not net, the tino limits of the Action requirements are applicable at the time that the aurveillance is terminated. If the Action requirements are greater than 24 hours, sufficient time exists to complete the surveillance. 1 Surveillarice Requirements do not have-to be performed on inoperable i equipennt because the netion requirements define the remedial measures that apply. However, the Surveillance Requirements have to be set to demonstrate that inoperable equipment has been restored to OPERA 6LE status. 4.0.4 Establishes the requirement that all applicable surveillances oust be set before entry into an operational mode or ather condition of operation specified in the Specification. The purpose of this Spwification 1s to ensuco that systes and cosponent OPERABILITY requirements or parameter limits are met before entry into a mode or condition for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the facility. This provision applies to changes in operational modes or other specified conditions associated with plant shutdown as well as startup. Under the provisions of this specification, the applicable Surveillance Requirements must be performed within the specified surveillance interval to ensure that the Limiting Condittens for Operation are met during initial plant startup or following a plant outage. 4 Wen a shutdown is required to comply with Action requirements, the 1 :ovision of Specification 4.0.4 do not apply because this would delay piscing the faallity in a lower mode of operation. o 4_.,0_.5 Establishes the requirement that inservice inspection of ASME Code Class 1,2, and 3 components and inservice testing of ASME Code Class 1,2, l and 3 pumps and valves shall be performed in accordance with a l -periodically updated version of Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50.55a. These requirements i apply except when relief has been provided in writi.13 by the Commission. This specification includes a clarification of the frrquencies for performing the inservice inspection and testing activities required by Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable l Addends. This clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout Technical Specifications and to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities.

59.'- -BASES feentinued) -t Under the terms of this specification, the more restrictive requirements of the Technical specifications take precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda. The requirements of. Specification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities before entr> into y an1 operational mode or other specified condition takes precedence over the i ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows pumps and valves to be tested up to one week after return to normal operation. The Technical Specification' definition of OPERABLE does not allow a grace period before a component, that is not capable of performing its speelffed + function, is declared inoperable and trkes precedence over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows a valve to be incapable of performing its specified function for up to 24 hours be i being declared inoperable. Check Teilures such as blown instrument fuses defective indicators, faulted amplifiers which result in "upsdale" or 'downscale" indication can be easily recognized by simple observation of the functioning of an instrument or system. Turthermore, such failures are, in many cases, revealed by alarm or annunciator Action. Comparison of output and/or sr.to of independent channels measuring the same variable supplements this type of built in surveillance. Based on experience in operation of both conventional and nuclent plant systems. when the plant is in operation, the minimum checking frequency stated is deemed adequate for reactor system instrumentation.
