1.0 DEFINITIONS
-The succeeding frequently used terms are explicitly defined 50 that a
uniform interpretation of the specifications may be achieved.
A.
Safety Limit - The safety limits are limits below which the reasonable maintenance of the cladding and primary systems are assured. Exceeding such a limit requires unit shutdown and review by the Atomic Energy Commission before resumption of unit operation. Operation beyond such a limit may not in itself result in serious consequences but it indicates an operational deficiency subject to regulatory review.
B.
Limitinc safety System Settinos (LSSS) - The limiting safety system settings are settings on instrumentation which initiate the automatic protective action at a level such that the safety limits will not be exceeded. The region between the safety limit and these settings represents margin with normal operation lying below these settings. The margin has been established so that with proper operation of the instrumentation the safety limits will never be exceeded.
C.
Limitino conditions for operation (Lco) - The limiting conditions for operation specify the minimum acceptable levels of system performance necessary to assure safe startup and operation of the facility. When these conditions are met, the plant can be operated safely and abnormal situations can be safely controlled.
1.
In the event a Limiting Condition for operation and/or associated requirements cannot be satisfied because of circumstances in excess of those addressed in the specification, the unit shall be placed in at least Hot Standby within 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Cold Shutdown within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> unless corrective measures are completed that permit operation under the permissible discovery or until the reactor is placed in an operational condition in which the specification is not applicable.
Exceptions to these requirements shall be stated in the individual specifications.
This provides actions to be taken for circumstances not directly provided for in the specifications and where occurrence would violate the intent of the specification.
For example, if a specification calls for two systems (or subsystems) to be operable and provides for explicit requirements if one j
system (or subsystem) is inoperable, then if both systems (or subsystems) are inoperable the unit is to be in at least Hot Standby in 6 hours6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> and in Cold Shutdown within the following 30 hours3.472222e-4 days <br />0.00833 hours <br />4.960317e-5 weeks <br />1.1415e-5 months <br /> if the inoperable condition is not j
corrected.

Operable - Operability - A system, subsystem, train, component, or device shall be operable or have operability when it is capable of performing its specified function (s).
