1.0 INTRODUCTION

of pump.and valve surveillance requirements be revised to comply with wording

The proposed changes incorporate applicable portions of the reference testing in accordance with specifi-STS surveillance requirements, cation 4.0.5, and conform with similar requirements in Unit 2 specifications.
In many cases, the STS surveillance requirements may not apply and have been revised to more closely reflect the plant-specific design and operating The STS differ from current surveillance requirements as requirements.
