1.0 Definitions The following terms are defined so that a uniform interpretation of these specifications may be achieved.

A.

(Deleted) 8.

Cold Shutdown Condition - Cold shutdown condition means reactor operation with the Mode Switch in the SHUT 00WN position, coolant temperature 5 212'F, and with no core alterations permitted.

During the performance of inservice hydrostatic or leak-age testing with all control.ods fully inserted and reactor coolant temperature > 212*F, and/or reactor vessel pressurized, the reactor may be considered to be in the Cold Shutdown Condition for the purpose of determining Limiting Condition for Operation applic-ability. Note that the Cold Shutdown Condition may be referred to in different ways throughout the Technical Specifications.

For example, "reactor suberitical and reactor coolant temperature

< 212*F," "irradiated fuel in the reactor vessel and the reactor is depressurized," "reactor water temperature < 212'F and reactor coolant system vented," or "reactor is not pressurized (i.e.,

5 212*F)" should be interpreted as COLO SHUTOOWN.

However, compliance with an ACTION requiring COLD SHUT 00WN shall require a reactor coolant temperature 5 212*F.

In addition, compliance with the following Specifications is required when performing the hydrostatic or leakage testing under the identified conditions:

3.5.B.I.b. 3.5.C.l.c 3.6.F.2.d, :.7.C.l.a(7), 3.9.c, and applicable notes in Table 3.2-1.

PNU

{,

C.

Core Alteration - Core alteration shall be the addition, removal, relocation, or movement of fuel, sources, incore instruments, or reactivity controls within the reactor pressure vessel with the vessel head removed and fuel in the vessel.

Suspension of core alterations shall not preclude completion of the movement of a component to a safe conservative position.

D.

Desian Power - Design power refers to the power level at which the reactor is producing 105 percent of reactor vessel rated steam flow.

Design power does not necessarily correspond to 105 percent of rated reactor power. The stated design power in megawatts thermal (MWt) is the result of a heat balance for a particular plant design.

For Hatch Nuclear Plant Unit I the design power is approximately 2537 MWt.

E.

Enaineered Safety Features - Engineered safety features are those features pr,;vided for mitigating the consequences of postulated accidents, including for example containment, emergency core cooling, and standby gas treatment system.

F.

Hot Shutdown Condition - Hot shutdown condition means reactor operation with the Mode Switch in the SHUT 00WN position, coolant temperature

> 212'F, and no core alterations are permitted.

During the performance of inservice hydrostatic or leakage testing with all control rods fully inserted and reactor coolant temperature > 212*F, and/or reactor vessel pressurized, the reactor may be considered to be in the Cold Shutdown Condition for the purpose of determining Limiting Condition for Operation applicability.

However, compliance with an ACTION requiring COLD SHUT 00WN shall require a reactor coolant temperature < 212*F.

G.

Hot Standby Condition - Hot standby condition means reactor operation with the Mode Switch in the START & HOT STANDBY position, coolant temperature greater than 212*F, reactor pressure less than 1045 psig, critical.

H.

Imediate - Immediate means that the required action shall be initiated as soon as practicable, considering the safe operation of the Unit and the importance of the required action.

I.

Instrument Calibration - An instrument calibration means the adjustment of an instrument output signal so that it corresponds, within acceptable range and accuracy, to a known value(s) of the parameter which the instrument monitors.

J.

Instrument Channel - An instrument channel means an arrangement of a sensor and auxiliary equipment required to generate and transmit to a trip system a single trip signal related to the plant parameter monitored by that instrument channel.
