. .4 APPLICABILITY SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.0.1 Surveillance Requirements shall be met during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other specified conditions in-the Applicability for individual Limiting Conditions for Operation, unless otherwise stated in the Surveillance Requirement. Failure to meet a Surveillar.ce Requirement, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance Requirement or between performances of the Surveillance Requirement, shall be failure to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation. Failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the specified frequency shall be failure to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation, except as provided in Technical Specification 4.0.3. Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment or variables outside specified limits.

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 interval.

4.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance Requirement was not performed within its sncified frecuency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the _imiting Concition for Operation not met may be delayed, from the time of discovery, up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified frequency whichever is less. This delay period is permitted to allow performance of the Surveillance Requirement.

If the Surveillance Requirement is not performed within the delay period, the Limiting Condition for Operation must immediately be declared not met, and the applicable ACTION statement (s) must be entered.

When the Surveillance Requirement is performed within the delay period and the surveillance Recuirement is not met, the Limiting Condition for Operation must

mmediately be ceclared not met, and the applicable ACTION statement (s) must '

be entered.

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

4.0.5 Surveillance Requirements for inservice inspection 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 performed in accordance with Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50. Section 50.55a(g) except where specific written relief has been granted by the Commission pursuant to 10 CFR 50.

4.0.1x Systems and components-are assumed to be 0PERABLE when the~ associated l Surveillance Requirements have been met. Nothing in this Specification, j

= however. is to be construed as implying that systems or components are- ,

OPERABLE when:

a. The systems'or components are known to be inoperable, although still meeti_ng_the Surveillance Requirements
:or-
b. The requirements of the Surveillance (s) are known to be not met between i required Surveillance performances.

Surveillance Requirements do not-have to be performed when the unit is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition for which the requirements  !

of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation are not applicable, unless  :

otherwise:specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special 1 Test Exceptions Limiting Condition for Operation are only applicable when the

.Special Test Exceptions Limiting Condition for Operation is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a Specification.

4 Surveillance Requirements, including Surveillance Requirements invoked by ACTION statements, do not have to be performed on inoperable equipment because the ACTIONS define the remedial measures that apply. Surveillance Requirements have to be met and performed in accordance with Technical

. Specification 4.0.2. prior to returning equipment:to OPERABLE status.

Upon completion of maintenance, approariate post maintenance testing is required to declare equipment OPEMBLE. This includes ensuring applicable Surveillance Requirements are not failed and their most recent performance is >

in accordance with Technical Specification 4.0.2. Post maintenance testing may not be possible in the current OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified -

conditions in the Ap)licability due to the necessary unit parameters not

-having been establisled. In these situations, the equipment may be considered a OPERABLE provided testing has been satisfactorily comoleted to the extent possible and the equipment is not otherwise believed t'o be incapable of aerforming its function. 'This will allow operation to proceed to an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition where other necessary post maintenance tests can be completed.

-_Some examples of this process are:

'a . Control Rod Drive maintenance during-refueling that requires-scram testing at > 800 psi. However, if other appropriate testing is

-satisfactorily completed and the scram time testing of Technical-Specification 4.1.3.2. is satisfied, the control rod can be

, considered OPERABLE. This allows startup to proceed to reach 800_

psi to perform other necessary testing.

, , AP5LTCABIL111-BASES 4.0.1 (Continued)

b. High pressure coolant injection (HPCI) maintenance during shutdown '

that requires system functional tests at a specified pressure.

Provided other appropriate testing is satisfactorily completed, startup can proceed with HPCI considered OPERABLE. This allows operation to reach the specified pressure to complete the necessary post maintenance testing.

4.0.2 The provisions of this specification provide allowable tolerances 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 phrase "at-least" associated with a surveillance frequency does not negate this allowahle tolerance value and permits the performance of more fFequent surveillance activities. It is not intended that this provision be used

repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillance that are not performed during refueling outages.

The tolerance value is sufficiently restrictive to ensure that the reliability associated with the surveillance activity is not si that obtained from the nominal specified interval gnificantly degraded beyond 4.0.3 Technical Specifications 4.0.0 establishes the flexibility to defer declaring affected equipment inoperdble or-an affected variable outside the s)ecified limits when a Surveillance Recuirement has not been completed within tie specified frequency. A delay perioc of up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or up to the limit of the specified frecuency, whichever is less, applies from the Joint in time that it is discoverec that the Surveillance Requirement has not Jeen performed in accordance with Technical Specification 4.0.2 and not at the time that the specified frequency was not met.

This delay period provides adequate time to complete Surveillance Requirements that have been missed. This delay period permits the completion of a Surveillance Requirement before complying with ACTION statements or other remedial measures that might preclude completion of the Surveillance Requirement.

The basis for this delay jeriod includes consideration of unit conditions.

adequate planning, availa)ility of personnel, the time recuired to perform the Surveillance Requirement, the safety significance of the celay in com)leting the Surveillance Requirement, and the recognition that the most proba)le result of any particular Surveillance Requirement being performed is the verification of conformance with the requirements.

When a Surveillance Requirement with a frequency based not on time intervals.

but upon specified unit conditions or operational situations, is discovered not to have been performed when specified. Technical Specification 4.0.3 -

allows the full delay period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> to perform the Surveillance Requirement.

Technical Specification 4.0.3 also provides a time limit for completion of Surveillance Requirements that become applicable as a consequence of OPERATIONAL CONDITION changes imposed by ACTION statements.

- Failure to comply with specified f requencies for Surveillance Recuirements is.

expected to be an infrequent occurrence. Use of the delay perioc established' by Technical Specification 4.0,3 is a flexibility which is not intended to be used as an operational convenience to extend Surveillance Requirement intervals. 1 If a Surveillance Requirement is not completed within the allowed delay period, then the equipment is considered inoperable or the variable is-considered outside the specified limits and the completion times of the- ACTION statement (s) for the applicable Limiting Condition for Operation begins c immediately upon expiration of the delay period, if a Surveillance -

Requirement is failed within the delay period, then the equipment-is +

inoperable, or the variable is outside the specified limits and the completion tinies of the ACTION statement (s) for the applicable Limiting Condition for '

Operation begins immediately upon the failure of the Surveillance Requirement.

Completion of the Surveillance Requirement within the delay period allowed by this Specification, or within the completion time of the ACTIONS restores compliance with Technical Specification 4.0.1.

This specification incorporates the guidance provided in Generic Letter 87-09.

4.0.4 This specification ensures that surveillance activities associated with a Limiting Condition for Operation have bee 3erformed within the specified time interval prior to entry into an applica]le 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 Condition for Operation.

Under the terms of this specification, for example, during initial plant start-up or following extended plant outage, the applicable surveillance

-activities must be performed within the stated surveillance interval prior to placing or returning the system or equipment into OPERABLE status. Exceptions to some surveillance activities have been provided for in individual speci fications.

4.0.5 ' This specification ensures that 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 will be performed in accordance with a periodically updated version of Section XI of tnc ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and Addenda as required by 10 CFR 50, Section 50.55a. Relief from any of the above requirements has been provided in writing by the Commission and is not a part of these technical specifications.

This specification includes a. clarification of the frequencies for performing i the inservice inspection and testing ' activities required by Section XI of the l ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code and applicable Adaenoa. This J clarification is provided to ensure consistency in surveillance intervals throughout these Technical Sp,ecifications anG to remove any ambiguities relative to the frequencies for performing the required inservice inspection and testing activities.

4PPLICABILITY BASES 4.0.5'. (Continued)

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. For example, the requirements of S3ecification 4.0.4 to perform surveillance activities prior to entry into an

- 0?ERATIONAL MODE or other specified applicability condition takes precedence l over the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code provision which allows pumps to be tested up to one week after return to normal o>eration. And, for example, r the Technical Specification definition of OPERABLE does not grant a grace period before a device that is not capable of performing its specified function is declared inoperable and takes precedence over the ASME Boiler and i Pressure Vessel Code performing its speci' provision which allows a valve to be incapable ofed function inoperable.

This specification inclut a statement that the Inservice Inspection Program for pipe covered by t% scope of GL 88-01 will be in conformance with the staff positions on schedule, methods and personnel, and sample expansion included in GL 88-01. This requirement may be removed from the technical specifications in the future in line with the Technical Specification Improvement Programs.
