3/4.0 APPLICABILITY BASES The specifications of this section orovide the general recuirements applicable to each of the Limiting Conditions for Ooeration and Surveillance Requirements within Section 3/4.
3.0,.1 This specification states the applicability of each soecification in terms of defined OPERATIONAL CONDITION and is provided to delineate specifically when each specification is applicable.
3.0.2 This soecification defines those conditions necessary to constitute compliance with the terms of an individual Limiting Condition for Ooeration and associated ACTION requirement.
3.0.3 This specification delineates the ACTION to be taken for circumstances not directly provided for in the ACTION statements and whose occurrence would violate the intent of the specification.
For example, Specification 3.5.1 calls for the HPCI to be OPERABLE and specifies explicit requirements if it become inoperable.
Under the terms of Specification 3.0.3 if the reouired additional systems are not OPERABLE, the facility is to be placed in HOT SHUTOOWN within the next 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and be in COLD SHUTOOWN within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br />.
The unit shall be brought to HOT SHUTOOWN and COLD SHUTDOWN within the required times by promptly initiating and carrying out an orderly shutdown.
It is intended that this guidance also 30cly whenever an ACTION statement requires a unit to be in (at least) STARTUP within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> or in (at least) NOT SHUTDOWN within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br />, 3.0.4 This specification' provides that entry into an OPERABLE CONDITION must be made with (a) the full complement of recuired systems, eculpment or components OPERABLE and (a) all other parameters as soecified in the Limiting Concitions for Operation being met without regard for allowable deviations and out of service orovisions contained in the ACTION statements.
The intent of this provisiin is to insure that facility operation is not initiated with either recuirec equipment or systems inoceraale or other limits
(
oeing exceeded.
Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of soecifications when startup with inoperable eouipment woulc not affect clant safety.
These exceotions are stated in the ACTION statements of tne apprcpriate soecifications.
3.0.5 When a system, subsystem, train, comoonent, or cevice loses either its normal electrical supply or its emergency electrical suoply, the eauipment l.
is still capable of performing its intended function in the recuired manner.
ine safety analyses are performed assuming the loss of function of a critical piece of eculpment; thus, with a source of electrical oower unavailable, a single failure is still required to reach the conditions analyzed in the FSAR.
It is recognized, however, that operation with one source of electrical power unavailable means the system, subsystem, train, component, or device is in a degraded mode.
The ACTION statement for the loss of an electrical source is designed to allow operation to continue for a reasonable time wnile repairs are affected and the lost electrical source returned to service.
Therefore, there is no need for all eauloment supplied by the electrical source to be olaced in ACTION statements.

.I E.
APPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.1 T6is specification provides that surveillance activities necessary to insure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS for which the Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable.
Provisions for additional surveil-lance activities to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERA-TIONAL CONDITIONS are provided in the individual Surveillance Requirements.
4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable toler-ances for performing surveillance activities beyond those specified in the nominal surveillance interval. These tolerances are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of scheduling and performance considerations. The phra:e "at least" associated with a surveillance frequency does not negate this allowable tolerance value and permits the performance of more frequent surveillance activities.
The tolerance values, taken either individually or consecutively over three test intervals, are sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the* surveillance activity is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the nominal specified 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 the associated surveil-lance activities have been satisfactorily perfonned within the specified time interval.
Nothing in this provision is to be construed as defining equipment, systems or components OP. RABLE, when such items are found or
~
known to be inoperable although still meeting the Surveillance Requirements.
4.0.4 This specification ensures that surveillance activities associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation have been performed within the specified time interval prior to entry into an applicable CONDITION.
The intent of this provision is to ensure that surveillance activities have been satisfactorily demonstrated on a current basis as required to meet the OPERABILITY requirements of the Limiting Conditior.
