Use and Application 11.0 11.0 Use and Application 11.1 Definitions The definitions contained in the Technical Specifications Section 1.1, Definitions, apply to the Technical Requirements contained in this manual. In the Technical Requirements, defined terms are shown in all capital letters, consistent with the Technical Specifications. In addition, the following term is defined for the TRM and TRM Bases.
Functional/Functionality - Functionality is an attribute of Structures, Systems and Components (SSCs) that is not controlled by Technical Specifications (TSs). An SSC is functional or has functionality when it is capable of performing its specified function, as set forth in the Current Licensing Basis (CLB). Functionality does not apply to specified safety functions, but does apply to the ability of non-TS SSCs to perform other specified functions that have a necessary support function.
11.2 Logical Connectors The guidance provided for the use and application of logical connectors in Section 1.2, Logical Connectors, of the Technical Specifications is applicable to the Technical Requirements contained in this manual.
11.3 Completion Times The guidance provided for the use and application of Completion Times in Section 1.3, Completion Times, of the Technical Specifications is applicable to the Technical Requirements contained in this manual.
11.4 Frequency The guidance provided for the use and application of Frequency requirements in Section 1.4, Frequency, of the Technical Specifications is applicable to the Technical Requirements contained in this manual.
11.5 Technical Requirement (TR) and Technical Requirement Surveillance (TRS)
Implementation TRs and TRSs are implemented the same as Technical Specifications (see 13.0).
However, TRs and TRSs are treated as plant procedures and are not part of the Technical Specifications. Therefore the following exceptions apply:
- a. Violations of the Action or Surveillance requirements in a TR are not reportable as conditions prohibited by, or deviations from, the Technical Specifications per 10 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73, unless specifically required by the TR.
(continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 11.0 - 1 Version 22.0 Technical Requirements
Use and Application 11.0 11.0 Use and Application
- b. Power reductions or plant shutdowns required to comply with the Actions of a TR or as a result of the application of TR 13.0.3 are not reportable per 10 CFR 50.72 or 10 CFR 50.73.
- c. Violations of TR or TRS requirements, except as provided for in Section 13.0 of this manual, shall be treated the same as plant procedure violations.
11.6 Technical Requirement Manual Revisions Changes to this manual are controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
11.7 Alternative Actions (e.g., Initiate a Condition Report, Continue Action to Restore, Determination of Alternate Course of Action)
Alternative Actions, such as initiating a condition report or management determination of alternate course of action are provided for selected TRs as alternatives to performing a plant shutdown if the nonfunctional TR cannot be restored within the allowed Completion Time. To ensure safe operation of the plant, priority should be on restoration of the nonfunctional TR to FUNCTIONAL within the allowed Completion Time. The alternative Actions to restoration of the TR to FUNCTIONAL are to provide allowances for a course of action that would continue to ensure the safe operation of the plant. Alternative Actions would allow for evaluation of the specific circumstances and plant conditions present at the time to determine if a safe alternative to a shutdown exists. Alternative Actions may be appropriate for situations where continued operation can be justified; for example, if the specified limits in the TR (e.g., RCS Chemistry or Pressurizer) were only slightly exceeded and sufficient margin is available, or if a Completion Time or Surveillance Frequency extension would allow the restoration of the limits or component FUNCTIONALITY, or if an alternate means for determining the FUNCTIONALITY of a component can be identified If the Alternative Action includes operation beyond the stated Completion Time, a plan for restoring the TR should be documented.
The plan for restoring the TR should consider:
- The technical basis of the requirement,
- The safety significance of continued operation beyond the stated Completion Time,
- A qualitative or quantitative evaluation of the operational risk associated with the TR not being met (e.g., online or outage risk assessments or engineering technical justifications),
Farley Units 1 and 2 11.0 - 2 Version 29.0 Technical Requirements
Use and Application 11.0 11.0 Use and Application
- If required, compensatory actions put in place during the time the TR is not met, and
- Approval by the appropriate level of management prior to expiration of the Completion Time.
If the Alternate Action is taken it should be documented in a CR, ODMI, or other appropriate means and should contain the following:
- The reason the TR could not be restored within the allowed Completion Time,
- The results of the evaluation of operational risk,
- Any compensatory measures, and
- The operational conditions necessary to restore the TR to FUNCTIONAL.
The appropriate level of management is, as a minimum, the Shift Manager. However, the Shift Manager should consider the safety significance and operational risks associated with the nonfunctional TR and engage senior management in the decision to implement the alternative Action, as required.
Farley Units 1 and 2 11.0 - 3 Version 29.0 Technical Requirements
TR Applicability 13.0 13.0 Technical Requirement (TR) Applicability TR 13.0.1 TRs shall be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability, except as provided in TR 13.0.2 and TR 13.0.7.
TR 13.0.2 Upon discovery of a failure to meet a TR, the Required Actions of the associated Conditions shall be met, except as provided in TR 13.0.5.
If the TR is met or is no longer applicable prior to expiration of the specified Completion Time(s), completion of the Required Action(s) is not required unless otherwise stated.
TR 13.0.3 When a TR is not met and the associated ACTIONS are not met or an associated ACTION is not provided, the unit shall be placed in a safe condition as determined by plant management. A Condition Report shall be initiated immediately.
TR 13.0.4 When a TR is not met, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability shall only be made:
- a. When the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time; (continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 13.0 - 1 Version 29.0 Technical Requirements
TR Applicability 13.0 13.0 Technical Requirement (TR) Applicability TR 13.0.4 b. After performance of a risk assessment addressing nonfunctional (continued) systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate; exceptions to this requirement are stated in the individual requirement, or
- c. When an allowance is stated in the individual value, parameter, or other requirement.
This TR shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS or that are part of a shutdown of the unit.
TR 13.0.5 Equipment removed from service or declared nonfunctional to comply with ACTIONS may be returned to service under administrative control solely to perform testing required to demonstrate its FUNCTIONALITY or the FUNCTIONALITY or OPERABILITY of other equipment. This is an exception to TR 13.0.2 for the system returned to service under administrative control to perform the testing required to demonstrate FUNCTIONALITY.
TR 13.0.7 Test Exception TR 13.1.9 allows TR 13.1.8, Position Indication -
Shutdown to be changed to permit performance of special tests and operations. Unless otherwise specified, all other TR requirements remain unchanged. Compliance with the Test Exception TR is optional. When the Test Exception TR is desired to be met but is not met, the ACTIONS of the Test Exception TR shall be met. When the Test Exception TR is not desired to be met, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability shall be made in accordance with the other applicable TRs.

TRS Applicability TRS 13.0 13.0 Technical Requirement Surveillance (TRS) Applicability TRS 13.0.1 TRSs shall be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for individual TRs, unless otherwise stated in the TRS.
Failure to meet a Surveillance, whether such failure is experienced during the performance of the Surveillance or between performances of the Surveillance, shall be failure to meet the TR. Failure to perform a Surveillance within the specified Frequency shall be failure to meet the TR except as provided in TRS 13.0.3. Surveillances do not have to be performed on nonfunctional equipment or variables outside specified limits.
TRS 13.0.2 The specified Frequency for each TRS is met if the Surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified in the Frequency, as measured from the previous performance or as measured from the time a specified condition of the Frequency is met.
For Frequencies specified as "once," the above interval extension does not apply.
If a Completion Time requires periodic performance on a "once per . . ."
basis, the above Frequency extension applies to each performance after the initial performance.
Exceptions to this requirement are stated in the individual TRSs.
TRS 13.0.3 If it is discovered that a Surveillance was not performed within its specified Frequency, then compliance with the requirement to declare the TR 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 greater.

TR Applicability B 13.0 B 13.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT (TR) Applicability BASES TR 13.0.1 through TR 13.0.7 establish the general requirements applicable to all Technical Requirements and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.
13.0.1 MODES TR 13.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement within each individual Technical Requirement as the requirement for when the TR is required to be met (i.e., when the unit is in the MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability statement of each Technical Requirement).
13.0.2 REQUIRED ACTIONS TR 13.0.2 establishes that upon discovery of a failure to meet a TR, the associated ACTIONS shall be met. The Completion Time of each Required Action for an ACTIONS Condition is applicable from the point in time that an ACTIONS Condition is entered. The Required Actions establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified Completion Times when the requirements of a TR are not met. This Technical Requirement establishes that:
- a. Completion of the Required Actions within the specified Completion Times constitutes compliance with a Technical Requirement; and
- b. Completion of the Required Actions is not required when a TR is met within the specified Completion Time, unless otherwise specified.
There are two basic types of Required Actions. The first type of Required Action specifies a time limit in which the TR must be met. This time limit is the Completion Time to restore an nonfunctional system or component to FUNCTIONAL status or to restore variables to within specified limits. If this type of Required Action is not completed within the specified Completion Time, a shutdown may be required to place the unit in a MODE or condition in which the Technical Requirement is not applicable. (Whether stated as a Required Action or not, correction of the entered Condition is an action that may always be considered upon entering ACTIONS.) The second type of Required Action specifies the remedial measures that permit continued operation of the unit that is not further restricted by the Completion Time. In this case, compliance with the Required Actions provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation.
Completing the Required Actions is not required when a TR is met or is no longer applicable, unless otherwise stated in the individual Technical Requirements.
(continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-1 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TR Applicability B 13.0 B 13.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT (TR) Applicability BASES The nature of some Required Actions of some Conditions necessitates that, once the Condition is entered, the Required Actions must be completed even though the associated Conditions no longer exist. The individual TR's ACTIONS specify the Required Actions where this is the case.
An example of this is in TR 13.4.2, "Pressurizer Pressure and Temperature (P/T) Limits."
The Completion Times of the Required Actions are also applicable when a system or component is removed from service intentionally. The reasons for intentionally relying on the ACTIONS include, but are not limited to, performance of Surveillances, preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, or investigation of operational problems. Entering ACTIONS for these reasons must be done in a manner that does not compromise safety. Intentional entry into ACTIONS should not be made for operational convenience. Additionally, if intentional entry into ACTIONS would result in redundant equipment being nonfunctional, alternatives should be used instead. Doing so limits the time both subsystems/trains of a safety function are nonfunctional and limits the time conditions exist which may result in TR 13.0.3 being entered. Individual Technical Requirements may specify a time limit for performing a TRS when equipment is removed from service or bypassed for testing. In this case, the Completion Times of the Required Actions are applicable when this time limit expires, if the equipment remains removed from service or bypassed.
When a change in MODE or other specified condition is required to comply with Required Actions, the unit may enter a MODE or other specified condition in which another Technical Requirement becomes applicable. In this case, the Completion Times of the associated Required Actions would apply from the point in time that the new Technical Requirement becomes applicable, and the ACTIONS Condition(s) are entered.
13.0.3 COMPLETION TIMES TR 13.0.3 establishes the actions that must be implemented when a TR is not met and:
- a. An associated Required Action and Completion Time is not met and no other Condition applies; or
- b. The condition of the unit is not specifically addressed by the associated ACTIONS. This means that no combination of Conditions stated in the ACTIONS can be made that exactly corresponds to the actual condition of the unit. Sometimes, possible combinations of Conditions are such that entering TR 13.0.3 is warranted; in such cases, the ACTIONS specifically state a Condition corresponding to such combinations and also that TR 13.0.3 be entered immediately.
This Technical Requirement specifies that the unit shall be placed in a safe condition as determined by plant management and that a Condition Report shall be initiated immediately.
The Actions required to ensure the unit is placed in a safe condition may include a unit shutdown as determined by plant management. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience that permits routine voluntary removal of redundant systems or components from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being nonfunctional.

Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-2 Version 13.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TR Applicability B 13.0 B 13.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT (TR) Applicability BASES Actions initiated in accordance with TR 13.0.3 may be terminated and TR 13.0.3 exited if any of the following occurs:
- a. The TR is now met.
- b. A Condition exists for which the Required Actions have now been performed.
- c. ACTIONS exist that do not have expired Completion Times. These Completion Times are applicable from the point in time that the Condition is initially entered and not from the time TR 13.0.3 is exited.

TR Applicability B 13.0 BASES Exceptions to TR 13.0.3 are provided in instances where the Technical Requirement already provides the appropriate remedial measures to ensure the continued safe operation of the unit as required by TR 13.0.3. An example of this is in TR 13.9.6, "Storage Pool Ventilation (fuel storage)." TR 13.9.6 has an Applicability of "Whenever irradiated fuel is in the fuel storage pool." Therefore, this TR can be applicable in any or all MODES. If the TR and the Required Actions of TR 13.9.6 are not met , the Required Action of TR 13.9.6 of "Suspend all operations involving movement of fuel within the storage pool until required penetration room filtration system is restored to FUNCTIONAL status" is the appropriate Required Action to complete in order to ensure the safe operation of the unit in any operating MODE. These exceptions are addressed in the individual Technical Requirements.
13.0.4 MODE CHANGES TR 13.0.4 establishes limitations on changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when a TR is not met. It allows placing the unit in a MODE or other specified condition stated in that Applicability (e.g., the Applicability desired to be entered) when unit conditions are such that the requirements of the TR would not be met, in accordance with TR 13.0.4a, TR 13.0.4b, or TR 13.0.4c.
TR 13.0.4a allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TR not met when the associated ACTIONS to be entered permit continued operation in the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability for an unlimited period of time. Compliance with Required Actions that permit continued operation of the unit for an unlimited period of time in a MODE or other specified condition provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation. This is without regard to the status of the unit before or after the MODE change.
Therefore, in such cases, entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability may be made in accordance with the provisions of the Required Actions. TR 13.0.4b allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TR not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing nonfunctional systems and components, consideration of the results, determination of the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and establishment of risk management actions, if appropriate.
The risk assessment may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended approaches, and the risk assessment will be conducted using the plant program, procedures, and criteria in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4), which requires that risk impacts of maintenance activities be assessed and managed. The risk assessment, for the purposes of TR 13.0.4b, must take into account all inoperable Technical Specification equipment regardless of whether the equipment is included in the normal 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) risk assessment scope. The risk assessments will be conducted using the procedures and guidance endorsed by Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants."
Regulatory Guide 1.182 endorses the guidance in Section 11 of NUMARC 93-01, "Industry Guideline for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." These (continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-4 Version 13.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TR Applicability B 13.0 BASES documents address general guidance for conduct of the risk assessment, quantitative and qualitative guidelines for establishing risk management actions, and example risk management actions. These include actions to plan and conduct other activities in a manner that controls overall risk, increased risk awareness by shift and management personnel, actions to reduce the duration of the condition, actions to minimize the magnitude of risk increases (establishment of backup success paths or compensatory measures), and determination that the proposed MODE change is acceptable. Consideration should also be given to the probability of completing restoration such that the requirements of the TR would be met prior to the expiration of ACTIONS Completion Times that would require exiting the Applicability.
TR 13.0.4b may be used with single, or multiple systems and components unavailable.
NUMARC 93-01 provides guidance relative to consideration of simultaneous unavailability of multiple systems and components.
The results of the risk assessment shall be considered in determining the acceptability of entering the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability, and any corresponding risk management actions. The TR 13.0.4b risk assessments do not have to be documented.
The Technical Requirements allow continued operation with equipment unavailable in MODE 1 for the duration of the Completion Time. Since this is allowable, and since in general the risk impact in that particular MODE bounds the risk of transitioning into and through the applicable MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability of the TR, the use of the TR 13.0.4b allowance should be generally acceptable, as long as the risk is assessed and managed as stated above. However, there maybe a small subset of systems and components that have been determined to be more important to risk and use of the TR 13.0.4b allowance is prohibited.
The TRs governing these systems and components contain Notes prohibiting the use of TR 13.0.4b by stating that TR 13.0.4b is not applicable.
TR 13.0.4c allows entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TR not met based on a Note in the requirement which states TR 13.0.4c is applicable. These specific allowances permit entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability when the associated ACTIONS to be entered do not provide for continued operation for an unlimited period of time and a risk assessment has not been performed. This allowance may apply to all the ACTIONS or to a specific Required Action of a requirement. The risk assessments performed to justify the use of TR 13.0.4b usually only consider systems and components. For this reason, TR 13.0.4c is typically applied to requirements which describe values and parameters (e.g., Containment Air Temperature, Containment Pressure, Moderator Temperature Coefficient), and may be applied to other requirements based on NRC plant-specific approval.
The provisions of this requirement should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to FUNCTIONAL status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.

Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-5 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TR Applicability B 13.0 BASES The provisions of TR 13.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of TR 13.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown.
In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.
Upon entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the TR not met, TR 13.0.1 and TR 13.0.2 require entry into the applicable Conditions and Required Actions until the Condition is resolved, until the TR is met, or until the unit is not within the Applicability of the Technical Requirements.
Surveillances do not have to be performed on the associated nonfunctional equipment (or on variables outside the specified limits), as permitted by TRS 13.0.1. Therefore, utilizing TR 13.0.4 is not a violation of TRS 13.0.1 or TRS 13.0.4 for any Surveillances that have not been performed on nonfunctional equipment. However, TRSs must be met to ensure FUNCTIONALITY prior to declaring the associated equipment FUNCTIONAL (or variable within limits) and restoring compliance with the affected TR.
13.0.5 OPERABILITY DETERMINATION / FUNCTIONALITY ASSESSMENT Regulatory Issues Summary (RIS) 2005-020 revised the Operability Determination (OD) guidelines (Inspection Manual, Part 9900) previously issued under Generic Letter 91 -18. The new guidelines introduced the concept of "Functionality" as applicable to Systems, Structures, and Components (SSCs) outside of the Technical Specifications (TS). Operability is now applied only to TS SSCs. Functionality is an attribute of SSCs that is not controlled by the TS.
However, when the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) refers to TS equipment, it remains appropriate to refer to these SSCs as either operable or inoperable. The definition of operability assumes that an SSC described in TS can perform its specified function when all necessary support systems are capable of performing their related support functions.
Functionality Assessments are applied to those SSCs not described in the TS, specifically those SSCs that perform specified functions described in the Updated Final Safely Analysis (UFSAR),
TRM, Emergency Plan, Fire Protection Plan, regulatory commitments, or other elements of the Current Licensing Basis.
Operability Determinations are performed for those SSCs described in the TS. This includes those SSCs that are explicitly required to be operable by the TS as well as those that are not explicitly required to be operable by the TS, but that perform required support functions (as specified by the TS definition of operability) for SSCs that are required to be operable by the TS.
Note that for SSCs not explicitly required to be operable by the TS but that support SSCs that are explicitly required to be operable by the TS, degraded conditions are subject to Functionality Assessments. However, these Functionality Assessments provide input to an Operability Determination for the impacted supported TS SSCs.

TR Applicability B 13.0 BASES TR 13.0.5 establishes the allowance for restoring equipment to service under administrative controls when it has been removed from service or declared nonfunctional to comply with ACTIONS. The sole purpose of this Technical Requirement is to provide an exception to TR 13.0.2 (e.g., to not comply with the applicable Required Action(s)) to allow the performance of required testing to demonstrate:
- a. The FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being returned to service; or
- b. The FUNCTIONALITY or OPERABILITYof other equipment.
The administrative controls ensure the time the equipment is returned to service in conflict with the requirements of the ACTIONS is limited to the time absolutely necessary to perform the required testing to demonstrate FUNCTIONALITY. This Technical Requirement does not provide time to perform any other preventive or corrective maintenance.
An example of demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment being returned to service is reopening a containment isolation valve that has been closed to comply with Required Actions and must be reopened to perform the required testing.
An example of demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY or OPERABILITY of other equipment is taking a nonfunctional channel or trip system out of the tripped condition to prevent the trip function from occurring during the performance of required testing on another channel in the other trip system. A similar example of demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY or OPERABILITY of other equipment is taking a nonfunctional channel or trip system out of the tripped condition to permit the logic to function and indicate the appropriate response during the performance of required testing on another channel in the same trip system.
13.0.7 TEST EXCEPTIONS There are certain special tests and operations required to be performed at various times over the life of the unit. These special tests and operations are necessary to demonstrate select unit performance characteristics, to perform special maintenance activities, and to perform special evolutions. Test Exception TR 13.1.9 allows specified Technical Requirements (TRs) to be changed to permit performances of these special tests and operations, which otherwise could not be performed if required to comply with the requirements of these TRs. Unless otherwise specified, all the other TRM requirements remain unchanged. This will ensure all appropriate requirements of the MODE or other specified condition not directly associated with or required to be changed to perform the special test or operation will remain in effect.
The Applicability of a Test Exception TR represents a condition not necessarily in compliance with the normal requirements of the TRM. Compliance with Test Exception TRs is optional. A special operation may be performed either under the provisions of the appropriate Test Exception TR or under the other applicable TRM requirements. If it is desired to perform the special operation under the provisions of the Test Exception TR, the requirements of the Test Exception TR shall be followed.
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-7 Version 13.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TRS Applicability B 13.0 B 13.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENT SURVEILLANCES (TRS) Applicability BASES TRS 13.0.1 through TRS 13.0.4 establish the general requirements applicable to all Technical Requirements and apply at all times, unless otherwise stated.
TRS 13.01 MODES TRS 13.0.1 establishes the requirement that TRSs must be met during the MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which the requirements of the TR apply, unless otherwise specified in the individual TRSs. This Technical Requirement is to ensure that Surveillances are performed to verify the FUNCTIONALITY of systems and components, and that variables are within specified limits. Failure to meet a Surveillance within the specified Frequency, in accordance with TRS 13.0.2, constitutes a failure to meet a TR.
Systems and components are assumed to be FUNCTIONAL when the associated TRSs have been met. Nothing in this Technical Requirement, however, is to be construed as implying that systems or components are FUNCTIONAL when:
- a. The systems or components are known to be nonfunctional, although still meeting the TRSs; or
- b. The requirements of the Surveillance(s) are known not to be met between required Surveillance performances.
Surveillances do not have to be performed when the unit is in a MODE or other specified condition for which the requirements of the associated TR are not applicable, unless otherwise specified. The TRSs associated with a test exception are only applicable when the test exception is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a Technical Requirement.
Unplanned events may satisfy the requirements (including applicable acceptance criteria) for a given TRS. In this case, the unplanned event may be credited as fulfilling the performance of the TRS. This allowance includes those TRSs whose performance is normally precluded in a given MODE or other specified condition.
Surveillances, including Surveillances invoked by Required Actions, do not have to be performed on nonfunctional equipment because the ACTIONS define the remedial measures that apply. Surveillances have to be met and performed in accordance with TRS 13.0.2, prior to returning equipment to FUNCTIONAL status.
(continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-8 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TRS Applicability B 13.0 BASES Upon completion of maintenance, appropriate post maintenance testing is required to declare equipment FUNCTIONAL. This includes ensuring applicable Surveillances are not failed and their most recent performance is in accordance with TRS 13.0.2. Post maintenance testing may not be possible in the current MODE or other specified conditions in the Applicability due to the necessary unit parameters not having been established. In these situations, the equipment may be considered FUNCTIONAL provided testing has been satisfactorily completed to the extent possible and the equipment is not otherwise believed to be incapable of performing its function.
This will allow operation to proceed to a MODE or other specified condition where other necessary post maintenance tests can be completed.
TRS 13.0.2 REQUIRED ACTIONS TRS 13.0.2 establishes the requirements for meeting the specified Frequency for Surveillances and any Required Action with a Completion Time that requires the periodic performance of the Required Action on a "once per . . ." interval.
TRS 13.0.2 permits a 25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency. This extension facilitates Surveillance scheduling and considers plant operating conditions that may not be suitable for conducting the Surveillance (e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing Surveillance or maintenance activities).
The 25% extension does not significantly degrade the reliability that results from performing the Surveillance at its specified Frequency. This is based on the recognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the TRSs. The exceptions to TRS 13.0.2 are those Surveillances for which the 25% extension of the interval specified in the Frequency does not apply. These exceptions are stated in the individual Technical Requirements.
As stated in TRS 13.0.2, the 25% extension also does not apply to the initial portion of a periodic Completion Time that requires performance on a "once per ..." basis. The 25%
extension applies to each performance after the initial performance. The initial performance of the Required Action, whether it is a particular Surveillance or some other remedial action, is considered a single action with a single Completion Time. One reason for not allowing the 25%
extension to this Completion Time is that such an action usually verifies that no loss of function has occurred by checking the status of redundant or diverse components or accomplishes the function of the nonfunctional equipment in an alternative manner.
The provisions of TRS 13.0.2 are not intended to be used repeatedly merely as an operational convenience to extend Surveillance intervals (other than those consistent with refueling intervals) or periodic Completion Time intervals beyond those specified.
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-9 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TRS Applicability B 13.0 BASES TRS 13.0.3 COMPLETION TIMES TRS 13.0.3 establishes the flexibility to defer declaring affected equipment nonfunctional or an affected variable outside the specified limits when a Surveillance has not been completed within the specified Frequency. A delay period 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 Frequency, whichever is greater, applies from the point in time that it is discovered that the Surveillance has not been performed in accordance with TRS 13.0.2, and not at the time that the specified Frequency was not met.
This delay period provides adequate time to complete Surveillances that have been missed.
This delay period permits the completion of a Surveillance before complying with Required Actions or other remedial measures that might preclude completion of the Surveillance.
The basis for this delay period includes consideration of unit conditions, adequate planning, availability of personnel, the time required to perform the Surveillance, the safety significance of the delay in completing the required Surveillance, and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular Surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the requirements.
When a Surveillance with a Frequency based not on time intervals, but upon specified unit conditions, operating situations, or requirements of regulations (e.g., prior to entering MODE 1 after each fuel loading, or in accordance with 10 CFR 50, Appendix J, as modified by approved exemptions, etc.) is discovered to not have been performed when specified, SR 3.0.3 allows for the full delay period of up to the specified Frequency to perform the Surveillance. However, since there is not a time interval specified, the missed Surveillance should be performed at the first reasonable opportunity.
TRS 13.0.3 provides a time limit for, and allowances for the performance of, Surveillances that become applicable as a consequence of MODE changes imposed by Required Actions.
Failure to comply with specified Frequencies for TRSs is expected to be an infrequent occurrence. Use of the delay period established by TRS 13.0.3 is a flexibility which is not intended to be used as an operational convenience to extend Surveillance intervals. While up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> or the limit of the specified Frequency is provided to perform the missed Surveillance, it is expected that the missed Surveillance will be performed at the first reasonable opportunity. The determination of the first reasonable opportunity should include consideration of the impact on plant risk (from delaying the Surveillance as well as any plant configuration changes required or shutting the plant down to perform the Surveillance) and impact on any analysis assumptions, in addition to unit conditions, planning, availability of personnel, and the time required to perform the Surveillance. This risk impact should be managed through the program in place to implement 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4) and its implementation guidance, NRC Regulatory Guide 1.182, "Assessing and Managing Risk Before Maintenance Activities at Nuclear Power Plants." The Regulatory Guide addresses consideration of temporary and aggregate risk impacts, determination of risk management action thresholds, and risk management action up to and including plant shutdown. The missed Surveillance should be treated as an emergent condition as discussed in the Regulatory Guide. The risk evaluation (continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-10 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TRS Applicability B 13.0 BASES may use quantitative, qualitative, or blended methods. The degree of depth and rigor of the evaluation should be commensurate with the importance of the component. Missed Surveillances for important components should be analyzed quantitatively. If the results of the risk evaluation determine the risk increase is significant, this evaluation should be used to determine the safest course of action. All missed Surveillances will be placed in the licensee's Corrective Action Program.
If a Surveillance is not completed within the allowed delay period, then the equipment is considered nonfunctional or the variable is considered outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable TR Conditions begin immediately upon expiration of the delay period. If a Surveillance is failed within the delay period, then the equipment is nonfunctional, or the variable is outside the specified limits and the Completion Times of the Required Actions for the applicable TR Conditions begin immediately upon the failure of the Surveillance.
Completion of the Surveillance within the delay period allowed by this Technical Requirement, or within the Completion Time of the ACTIONS, restores compliance with TRS 13.0.1.
TRS 13.0.4 MODE CHANGES TRS 13.0.4 establishes the requirement that all applicable TRSs must be met before entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
This requirement ensures that system and component FUNCTIONALITY requirements and variable limits are met before entry into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability for which these systems and components ensure safe operation of the unit. The provisions of this requirement should not be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise the good practice of restoring systems or components to FUNCTIONAL status before entering an associated MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability.
A provision is included to allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability when a TR is not met due to Surveillance not being met in accordance with TR 13.0.4.
However, in certain circumstances, failing to meet a TRS will not result in TR 13.0.4 restricting a MODE change or other specified condition change. When a system, subsystem, division, component, device, or variable is nonfunctional or outside its specified limits, the associated TRS(s) are not required to be performed, per TRS 13.0.1, which states that surveillances do not have to be performed on nonfunctional equipment. When equipment is nonfunctional, TRS 13.0.4 does not apply to the associated TRS(s) since the requirement for the TRS(s) to be performed is removed. Therefore, failing to perform the Surveillance(s) within the specified Frequency does not result in a TRS 13.0.4 restriction to changing MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability. However, since the TR is not met in this instance, TR 13.0.4 will govern any restrictions that may (or may not) apply to MODE or other specified condition changes.
(continued)
Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.0-11 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
TRS Applicability B 13.0 BASES TRS 13.0.4 does not restrict changing MODES or other specified conditions of the Applicability when a Surveillance has not been performed within the specified Frequency, provided the requirement to declare the TR not met has been delayed in accordance with TRS 13.0.3.
The provisions of TRS 13.0.4 shall not prevent entering into MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that are required to comply with ACTIONS. In addition, the provisions of TRS 13.0.4 shall not prevent changes in MODES or other specified conditions in the Applicability that result from any unit shutdown. In this context, a unit shutdown is defined as a change in MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability associated with transitioning from MODE 1 to MODE 2, MODE 2 to MODE 3, MODE 3 to MODE 4, and MODE 4 to MODE 5.
The precise requirements for performance of TRSs are specified such that exceptions to TRS 13.0.4 are not necessary. The specific time frames and conditions necessary for meeting the TRSs are specified in the Frequency, in the Surveillance, or both. This allows performance of Surveillances when the prerequisite condition(s) specified in a Surveillance procedure require entry into the MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability of the associated TR prior to the performance or completion of a Surveillance. A Surveillance that could not be performed until after entering the TRs Applicability, would have its Frequency specified such that it is not "due" until the specific conditions needed are met. Alternately, the Surveillance may be stated in the form of a Note as not required (to be met or performed) until a particular event, condition, or time has been reached. Further discussion of the specific formats of TRSs' annotation is found in Section 11.4, Frequency.

Reactivity Control Systems B 13.1 B 13.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES SHUTDOWN MARGIN TR 13.1.1 Shutdown Margin A sufficient SHUTDOWN MARGIN ensures that:
- 1) the reactor can be made subcritical from all operating conditions,
- 2) the reactivity transients associated with postulated accident conditions are controllable within acceptable limits, and
- 3) the reactor will be maintained sufficiently subcritical to preclude inadvertent criticality in the shutdown condition.
SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirements vary throughout core life as a function of fuel depletion, RCS boron concentration, and RCS Tavg. The most restrictive condition occurs at EOL, with Tavg at no load operating temperature, and is associated with a postulated steam line break accident and resulting uncontrolled RCS cooldown. In the analysis of this accident, a minimum SHUTDOWN MARGIN as specified in the COLR is required to control the reactivity transient.
Accordingly, the SHUTDOWN MARGIN requirement is based upon this limiting condition and is consistent with FSAR safety analysis assumptions.
BORATION SYSTEMS TR 13.1.2 Boration Flow Path- Shutdown TR 13.1.3 Boration Flow Paths- Operating TR 13.1.4 Charging Pump- Shutdown TR 13.1.5 Charging Pumps- Operating TR 13.1.6 Borated Water Source- Shutdown TR 13.1.7 Borated Water Sources- Operating The boron injection system ensures that negative reactivity control is available during each mode of facility operation. The components required to perform this function include 1) borated water sources, 2) charging pumps, 3) separate flow paths, 4) boric acid transfer pumps, and 5) an emergency power supply from OPERABLE diesel generators. With the RCS average temperature above 200°F, a minimum of two boron injection flow paths are required to ensure single functional capability in the event an assumed failure renders one of the flow paths nonfunctional. The boration capability of either flow path is sufficient to provide the required SHUTDOWN MARGIN from expected operating conditions after xenon decay and cooldown to 200°F. The maximum expected boration capability requirement occurs at EOL from full power equilibrium xenon conditions and requires 11,336 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 44,826 gallons of 2300 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank.

Farley Units 1 and 2 B 13.1-1 Version 9.0 Technical Requirements Bases
Reactivity Control Systems B 13.1 B 13.1 REACTIVITY CONTROL SYSTEMS BASES With the RCS temperature below 200°F, one injection system is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the additional restrictions prohibiting CORE ALTERATIONS and positive reactivity changes in the event the single injection system becomes nonfunctional.
The limitation for a maximum of one centrifugal charging pump to be OPERABLE and the Technical Specification Surveillance Requirement to verify all charging pumps except the required OPERABLE pump to be inoperable below 180°F provides assurance that a mass addition pressure transient can be relieved by the operation of a single RHR relief valve. Two charging pumps may be capable of injecting into the RCS for a short time to allow the pumps to be swapped. This allows seal injection flow to be continually maintained, thus, minimizing the potential for RCP number one seal damage by reducing pressure transients on the seal and by preventing RCS water from entering the seal. Particles in the RCS water may cause wear on the seal surfaces and loss of seal injection pressure may cause the seal not to fully reseat when pressure is reapplied. Low temperature overpressure protection is most critical during shutdown when the RCS is water solid. Mass input transients can cause a very rapid increase in RCS pressure allowing little time for operator action to mitigate the event. For these reasons, more than one pump should be made capable of injecting into the RCS only when the RCS is in a non water solid condition and when both RHR relief valves are OPERABLE or the RCS is vented via an opening of at least 5.7 square inches. A 5.7 square inch opening is equivalent to the throat size area of two RHR relief valves.
The boron capability required below 200°F is sufficient to provide a SHUTDOWN MARGIN as specified in the COLR after xenon decay and cooldown from 200°F to 140°F. This condition requires either 2,000 gallons of 7000 ppm borated water from the boric acid storage tanks or 7,750 gallons of 2300 ppm borated water from the refueling water storage tank.
The contained water volume limits include allowance for water not available because of discharge line location and other physical characteristics.
The limits on contained water volume and boron concentration of the RWST also ensure a pH value of between 7.0 and 10.5 for the solution recirculated within containment after a LOCA.
This pH band minimizes the evolution of iodine and minimizes the effect of chloride and caustic stress corrosion on mechanical systems and components.
The FUNCTIONALITY of one boron injection system during REFUELING ensures that this system is available for reactivity control while in MODE 6.
Operability is applied only to TS SSCs. Functionality is an attribute of SSCs that is not controlled by the TS. However, when the Technical Requirements Manual (TRM) refers to TS equipment, it remains appropriate to refer to these SSCs as either operable or inoperable.)

Reactivity Control Systems B 13.1 BASES MOVABLE CONTROL ASSEMBLIES TR 13.1.8 Position Indication System- Shutdown TR 13.1.9 Test Exception for Position Indication System- Shutdown TR 13.1.10 Rod Drop Time TR 13.1.8 Position Indication System-Shutdown Control rod positions and FUNCTIONALITY of the rod position indicators are required to be verified when the reactor trip breakers are closed and the rod control system is capable of rod withdrawal. In MODES in which the reactor is required to be shut down, FUNCTIONALITY of rod position indicators provides positive assurance that the control rods are being maintained in a safe condition.
TR 13.1.9 Test Exception for Position Indication System- Shutdown This special test exception permits the position indication channels to be nonfunctional during rod drop time measurements. The exception is required since the data necessary to determine the rod drop time is derived from the induced voltage in the position indicator coils as the rod is dropped. This induced voltage is small compared to the normal voltage and, therefore, can not be observed if the position indication channels remain FUNCTIONAL.
TR 13.1.10 Rod Drop Time The maximum rod drop time restriction is consistent with the assumed rod drop time used in the safety analyses. Measurement with Tavg greater than or equal to 541°F and with all reactor coolant pumps operating ensures that the measured drop times will be representative of insertion times experienced during a reactor trip at operating conditions.

Instrumentation B 13.3 B 13.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES TR 13.3.1 Movable Incore Detectors The FUNCTIONALITY of the movable incore detectors with the specified minimum complement of equipment ensures that the measurements obtained from use of this system accurately represent the spatial neutron flux distribution of the reactor core. The FUNCTIONALITY of this system is demonstrated by irradiating each detector used and determining the acceptability of its voltage curve.
For the purpose of measuring FQ(Z) and Fxy a full incore flux map is used. Quarter-core flux maps, as defined in WCAP-8648, June 1976, may be used in recalibration of the excore neutron flux detection system. Full incore flux maps or symmetric incore thimbles may be used for monitoring the QUADRANT POWER TILT RATIO when one Power Range Channel is nonfunctional.
TR 13.3.2 High Energy Line Break Isolation Sensors The high energy line break isolation sensors are designed to mitigate the consequences of the discharge of steam and/or water to the affected room and other lines and systems contained therein. In addition, the sensors will initiate signals that will alert the operator to bring the plant to a shutdown condition.
TR 13.3.3 Turbine Overspeed Protection This Technical Requirement is provided to ensure that the turbine overspeed protection instrumentation and the turbine speed control valves are FUNCTIONAL and will protect the turbine from excessive overspeed. Protection from turbine excessive overspeed is required since excessive overspeed of the turbine could generate potentially damaging missiles which could impact and damage safety related components, equipment or structures.
TR 13.3.4 Radiation Monitoring Instrumentation The FUNCTIONALITY of the radiation monitoring channels ensures that:
- 1) the radiation levels are continually measured in the areas served by the individual channels and
- 2) the alarm is initiated when the radiation level trip setpoint is exceeded.

Instrumentation B 13.3 B 13.3 INSTRUMENTATION BASES TR 13.3.5 Electric Hydrogen Recombiner Instrumentation and Control Circuits The FUNCTIONALITY of the equipment and systems required for the detection and control of hydrogen gas ensures that this equipment will be available to maintain the hydrogen concentration within containment below its flammable limit during post-LOCA conditions. The containment atmosphere post-accident sampling system can be used as an alternative to a hydrogen analyzer should a hydrogen analyzer become nonfunctional. Either recombiner unit (or the purge system) is capable of controlling the expected hydrogen generation associated with 1) zirconium-water reactions, 2) radiolytic decomposition of water and 3) corrosion of metals within containment. These hydrogen control systems are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.7, "Control of Combustible Gas Concentrations in Containment Following a LOCA," March 1971.
TR 13.3.6 Seismic Monitoring Instrumentation The FUNCTIONALITY of the seismic instrumentation ensures that sufficient capability is available to promptly determine the magnitude of a seismic event and evaluate the response of those features important to safety. This capability is required to permit comparison of the measured response to that used in the design basis for the facility to determine if plant shutdown is required pursuant to EPRI NP-5930, July 1988 and NP-6695, December 1988.
The instrumentation is consistent with the recommendations of EPRI TR-104239, Seismic Instrumentation in Nuclear Power Plants for Response to OBE Exceedance: Guidelines for Implementation, July 1994.
TR 13.3.7 Meteorological Monitoring Instrumentation The FUNCTIONALITY of the meteorological instrumentation ensures that sufficient meteorological data are available for estimating potential radiation doses to the public as a result of routine or accidental release of radioactive materials to the atmosphere. This capability is required to evaluate the need for initiating protective measures to protect the health and safety of the public and is generally consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.23, Onsite Meteorological Program, February 1972.

This variable is also important in verifying the adequacy of mitigating actions. The hydrogen monitors are not Type A or Category I instrumentation (reference A-181866 and A-204866 Unit 1 & Unit 2, RG 1.97 Compliance Review and NRC SER for FNP RG 1.97 Compliance Report, Letter, Reeves to McDonald, 2/12/87).

Reactor Coolant System B 13.4 B 13.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES TR 13.4.1 Chemistry The limitations on Reactor Coolant System chemistry ensure that corrosion of the Reactor Coolant System is minimized and reduces the potential for Reactor Coolant System leakage or failure due to stress corrosion. Maintaining the chemistry within the Steady State Limits provides adequate corrosion protection to ensure the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System over the life of the plant.
The associated effects of exceeding the oxygen, chloride, and fluoride limits are time and temperature dependent. Corrosion studies show that operation may be continued with contaminant concentration levels in excess of the Steady State Limits, up to the Transient Limits, for the specified limited time intervals without having a significant effect on the structural integrity of the Reactor Coolant System. The time interval permitting continued operation within the restrictions of the Transient Limits provides time for taking corrective actions to restore the contaminant concentrations to within the Steady State Limits.
The Technical Requirement Surveillances provide adequate assurance that concentrations in excess of the limits will be detected in sufficient time to take corrective action.
TR 13.4.2 Pressurizer The pressurizer heatup and cooldown rates shall not exceed 100°F/hr and 200°F/hr respectively. The spray shall not be used if the temperature difference between the pressurizer and the spray fluid is greater than 320°F.
System preservice hydrotests and in-service leak and hydrotests shall be performed at pressures in accordance with the requirements of ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section XI.
Allowable pressure-temperature relationships for various heatup and cooldown rates are calculated using methods derived from Appendix G in Section XI of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code as required by Appendix G to 10 CFR Part 50 and these methods are discussed in detail in WCAP-14040-NP-A, Revision 2, and the NRC letters dated March 31, 1998 and April 3, 1998.
Although the pressurizer operates in temperature ranges above those for which there is reason for concern of non-ductile failure, operating limits are provided to assure compatibility of operation with the fatigue analysis performed in accordance with the ASME Code requirements.

Reactor Coolant System B 13.4 B 13.4 REACTOR COOLANT SYSTEM BASES TR 13.4.3 Reactor Vessel Head Vents The FUNCTIONALITY of the Reactor Head Vent System ensures that adequate core cooling can be maintained in the event of the accumulation of non-condensable gases in the reactor vessel. This system is in accordance with 10 CFR 50.44(c)(3)(iii).
TR 13.4.4 Safety Valves- Shutdown The pressurizer code safety valves operate to prevent the RCS from being pressurized above its Safety Limit of 2735 psig. Each safety valve is designed to relieve 345,000 lbs per hour of saturated steam at the valve set point. The relief capacity of a single safety valve is adequate to relieve any overpressure condition which could occur during shutdown. In the event that no safety valves are FUNCTIONAL, an operating RHR loop, connected to the RCS, provides overpressure relief capability and will prevent RCS overpressurization. In addition, the Overpressure Protection System provides a diverse means of protection against RCS overpressurization at low temperatures.
Demonstration of the safety valves' lift settings will occur only during shutdown and will be performed in accordance with the provisions of the ASME Code for Operation and Maintenance of Nuclear Power Plants (OM Code).
TR 13.4.5 RCS Pressure Isolation Valve (PIV) Leakage The Technical Requirement Surveillances for RCS Pressure Isolation Valves provide added assurance of valve integrity, thereby reducing the probability of gross valve failure and consequent intersystem LOCA. Leakage from the RCS Pressure Isolation valves is IDENTIFIED LEAKAGE and will be considered a portion of the allowed limit.

Emergency Core Cooling Systems B 13.5 B 13.5 EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEMS (ECCS)
BASES TR 13.5.1 Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS)
As per TR 13.0.5, the term "operable" should be used for Structures, Systems, and Components (SSCs) that are explicitly required to be operable by the Technical Specifications (TSs) as well as those that are not explicitly required to be operable by the TSs, but that perform required support functions (as specified by the TS definition of operability) for SSCs that are required to be operable by the TSs. The definition of operability assumes that an SSC described in TSs can perform its specified function when all necessary support systems are capable of performing their related support functions. Since the ECCS is a SSC that is explicitly required to be operable in MODES 1, 2, and 3 while operating and MODE 4 during shutdown in TS 3.5.2 and 3.5.3, the term "operable," and all of its forms , should be used.
The OPERABILITY of two independent ECCS subsystems ensures that sufficient emergency core cooling capability will be available in the event of a LOCA assuming the loss of one subsystem through any single failure consideration. Either subsystem operating in conjunction with the accumulators is capable of supplying sufficient core cooling to limit the peak cladding temperatures within acceptable limits for all postulated break sizes ranging from the double ended break of the largest RCS cold leg pipe downward. In addition, each ECCS subsystem provides long term core cooling capability in the recirculation mode during the accident recovery period.
With the RCS temperature below 350°F, one OPERABLE ECCS subsystem is acceptable without single failure consideration on the basis of the stable reactivity condition of the reactor and the limited core cooling requirements.
The Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements and Technical Requirement Surveillances provided to ensure OPERABILITY of each component ensure that at a minimum the assumptions used in the safety analyses are met and that subsystem OPERABILITY is maintained. Technical Specification Surveillance Requirements and Technical Requirement Surveillances for throttle valve position stops and flow balance testing provide assurance that proper ECCS flows will be maintained in the event of a LOCA. Maintenance of proper flow resistance and pressure drop in the piping system to each injection point is necessary to: (1) prevent total pump flow from exceeding runout conditions when the system is in its minimum resistance configuration, (2) provide the proper flow split between injection points in accordance with the assumptions used in the ECCS-LOCA analyses, and (3) provide an acceptable level of total ECCS flow to all injection points equal to or above that assumed in the ECCS-LOCA analyses.

Containment Systems B 13.6 B 13.6 CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BASES TR 13.6.1 Containment Ventilation System Leakage Rate The purpose of the comparison of the results of degradation tests of the isolation valves in the containment purge supply and exhaust lines per TRS 13.6.1 is to identify excessive degradation of the resilient seals for these valves. In addition, these degradation tests are not subject to the requirements applicable to 10CFR50 Appendix J testing but are to be utilized to provide reasonable assurance that at least one set (inside containment or outside containment) of isolation valves provides a sufficient barrier to containment leakage. These degradation tests do not replace Appendix J testing, but are performed in addition to the type C tests required by Appendix J. Failure to satisfy the containment purge supply and exhaust isolation valve leakage rate specifications while in MODES 1-4 will be governed by the ACTION requirements of TS 3.6.3.D.
TR 13.6.2 Containment Isolation Valves The purpose of TR 13.6.2 is to ensure that containment isolation valves are restored to an operable status following maintenance activities which could affect their stoke times. Activities such as cleaning or inspection of the power circuits which do not affect the stroke time are not considered to be maintenance and therefore verification of isolation times is not required.
The FUNCTIONALITY of the containment isolation valves ensures that the containment atmosphere will be isolated from the outside environment in the event of a release of radioactive material to the containment atmosphere or pressurization of the containment. Containment isolation within the time limits specified ensures that the release of radioactive material to the environment will be consistent with the assumptions used in the analyses for a LOCA.

Plant Systems B 13.7 B 13.7 PLANT SYSTEMS BASES TR 13.7.1 Steam Generator Pressure/Temperature Limitation The limitation on steam generator pressure and temperature ensures that the pressure induced stresses in the steam generators do not exceed the maximum allowable fracture toughness stress limits. The limitations of 70°F and 200 psig are based on steam generator average impact values taken at 10°F and are sufficient to prevent brittle fracture.
TR 13.7.2 Snubbers Snubbers that are supporting safety equipment that is in the Technical Specifications are required to be OPERABLE. All other snubbers are required to be FUNCTIONAL. This ensures that the structural integrity of the reactor coolant system and all other safety related systems is maintained during and following a seismic or other event initiating dynamic loads. Snubbers excluded from this inspection program are those installed on nonsafety related systems and then only if their failure or failure of the system on which they are installed, would have no adverse effect on any safety related system.
A manual, which contains a tabulation of the hydraulic and mechanical snubbers which are within the scope of TR 13.7.2, is maintained as a comprehensive list of snubbers which are to be included in the snubber inspection and test program. The snubbers originally in the program were identified in Technical Specification Tables 3.7-4a and 3.7-4b as of License Amendment No. 43. (Unit 1) and 34 (Unit 2) and also reflected changes identified in Alabama Power Company letter dated December 8, 1983, entitled, Safety-Related Snubber Technical Specification Table Changes. The manual will be controlled in accordance with 10 CFR 50.59.
Beginning with the Unit 2 R19 Refueling Outage (Fall 2008), the snubber inservice examination and testing meets the requirements of the ASME OM Code, 2001 Edition with Addenda through 2003 as supplemented by ASME OM Code Case OMN-13, Revision 0 and 10 CFR 50.55a(b)(3)(v), dated October 1, 2004.
The visual inspection frequency is based upon maintaining a constant level of snubber protection to systems. Therefore, the required inspection interval varies inversely with the observed snubber failures and is determined by the number of nonfunctional snubbers found during an inspection. ASME OM Code Case OMN-13 provides an alternative for extending the visual examination interval provided the extension is justified by visual examination results.
When a snubber is found nonfunctional, an engineering evaluation is performed. The engineering evaluation shall determine whether or not the snubber mode of failure has imparted a significant effect or degradation on the attached component.

Plant Systems B 13.7 B 13.7 PLANT SYSTEMS BASES The service life of a snubber is evaluated via manufacturer input and information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and information through consideration of the snubber service conditions and associated installation and maintenance records (newly installed snubber, seal replaced, spring replaced, in high radiation area, in high temperature area, etc.) in accordance with the ASME OM Code, Article ISTD-6000. The requirement to monitor the snubber service life is included to ensure that the snubbers periodically undergo a performance evaluation in view of their age and operating conditions. These records will provide statistical bases for future consideration of snubber service life. The requirements for the maintenance of records and the snubber service life review are not intended to affect plant operation.
TR 13.7.3 Sealed Source Contamination The limitations on removable contamination for sources requiring leak testing, including alpha emitters, is based on 10 CFR 70.39(c) limits for plutonium. This limitation will ensure that leakage from byproduct, source, and special nuclear material sources will not exceed allowable intake values.
Sealed sources are classified into three groups with Technical Requirement Surveillances commensurate with the probability of damage to a source in that group. Those sources which are frequently handled are required to be tested more often than those which are not. Sealed sources which are continuously enclosed within a shielded mechanism (i.e. sealed sources within radiation monitoring or boron measuring devices) are considered to be stored and need not be tested unless they are removed from the shielded mechanism.

It also ensures that loss of the pond dam will not become a credible failure, in accordance with the accident analysis in FSAR section 9.2.5.
The measurement of the ground water seepage at least once per 5 years will provide assurance that the 30 day supply of water is available.
TR 13.7.5 Area Temperature Monitoring (Unit 2 Only)
The area temperature limitations ensure that safety-related equipment will not be subjected to temperatures in excess of their environmental qualification temperatures. Exposure to excessive temperatures may degrade equipment and can cause a loss of its FUNCTIONALITY.
The temperature limits include an allowance for instrument error of 2°F.
The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> limit for performance of engineering evaluation was established based on engineering judgment, to allow an adequate time for performance while ensuring promptness.

The tabulation of required containment penetration conductor overcurrent protective devices and circuits which are within the scope of TR 13.8.1 are contained in Farley Nuclear Plant procedures. The overcurrent protection devices and circuits originally in the program were identified in Unit 2 License Amendment 34. The procedures will be controlled in accordance with 10CFR50.59.
TR 13.8.2 Motor Operated Valves Thermal Overload Protection Devices (Unit 2 Only)
The Technical Requirement Surveillances applicable to lower voltage circuit breakers and fuses provides assurance of breaker and fuse reliability by testing at least one representative sample of each manufacturer's brand of circuit breaker and/or fuse. Each manufacturer's molded case and metal case circuit breakers and/or fuses are grouped into representative samples which are then tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers and/or fuses are tested. If a wide variety exists within any manufacturer's brand of circuit breakers and/or fuses, it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's breakers and/or fuses into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker or fuses for surveillance purposes.
The FUNCTIONALITY of the motor operated valves thermal overload protection devices ensures that these devices will not prevent safety related valves from performing their function.
The Technical Requirement Surveillances for demonstrating the FUNCTIONALITY of these devices are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.106 "Thermal Overload Protection for Electric Motors on Motor Operated Valves", Revision 1, March 1977.
If one or more thermal overload protection device(s) are nonfunctional the operability of the valve is affected. The Required Action in TR 13.8.2 A.1 requires a TS Condition to be entered and the related TS Required Actions to be completed. The definition of "functional", as per TR 13.0.5, does not apply to the valve(s) only to the thermal overload protection devices.
TR 13.8.3 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG) Maintenance and Inspection Requirements The Technical Requirement Surveillances for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9, Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies, March 10, 1971, and 1.108, Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants, Revision 1, August 1977.

TR 13.9.2 Communications The requirement for communications capability ensures that refueling station personnel can be promptly informed of significant changes in the facility status or core reactivity conditions during CORE ALTERATIONS.
TR 13.9.3 Manipulator Crane The FUNCTIONALITY requirements for the manipulator cranes ensure that:
- 1) manipulator cranes will be used for movement of control rods and fuel assemblies,
- 2) each crane has sufficient load capacity to lift a control rod or fuel assembly, and
- 3) the core internals and pressure vessel are protected from excessive lifting force in the event they are inadvertently engaged during lifting operations.
TR 13.9.4 Crane Travel- Spent Fuel Storage Building TR 13.9.5 Spent Fuel Cask Crane The restriction on movement of loads in excess of the nominal weight of a fuel and control rod assembly and associated handling tool over other fuel assemblies in the storage pool ensures that in the event this load is dropped:
- 1) the activity release will be limited to that contained in a single fuel assembly, and
- 2) any possible distortion of fuel in the storage racks will not result in a critical array.
This assumption is consistent with the activity release assumed in the accident analyses.

Cold proof tests of the crane or material testing will be performed to demonstrate FUNCTIONALITY.
TR 13.9.6 Storage Pool Ventilation (Fuel Storage)
The limitations on the storage pool ventilation system ensure that all radioactive material released from a recently irradiated fuel assembly (i.e., fuel that has occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 70 hours8.101852e-4 days <br />0.0194 hours <br />1.157407e-4 weeks <br />2.6635e-5 months <br />) will be filtered through the HEPA filters and charcoal adsorber prior to discharge to the atmosphere. Due to radioactive decay, a fuel handling accident involving handling non-recently irradiated fuel (i.e., fuel that has not occupied part of a critical reactor core within the previous 70 hours8.101852e-4 days <br />0.0194 hours <br />1.157407e-4 weeks <br />2.6635e-5 months <br />) will result in doses that are within the guideline values specified in 10 CFR 50.67. The FUNCTIONALITY of this system and the resulting iodine removal capacity are consistent with the assumptions of the accident analyses.
TR 13.9.7 Average Reactor Coolant Temperature This Technical Requirement is provided to ensure that the average reactor coolant temperature remains consistent with initial conditions assumed in analysis of a dilution event during refueling. Supporting this requirement is also a Technical Specification requirement that at least one residual heat removal pump be in operation in MODE 6 to provide sufficient coolant circulation to minimize the effects of a boron dilution accident and prevent boron stratification.

The FUNCTIONALITY and use of this instrumentation are consistent with the requirements of General Design Criteria 60 and 63 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
TR 13.12.2 Liquid Holdup Tanks Restricting the quantity of radioactive material contained in the specified tanks provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks' contents, the resulting concentrations would be less than the limits of 10 CFR Part 20, Appendix B, (to paragraphs 20.1001 -20.2401), Table 2, Column 2, at the nearest potable water supply and the nearest surface water supply in an unrestricted area.
TR 13.12.3 Waste Gas Monitoring This Technical Requirement is provided to ensure that the concentration of potentially explosive gas mixtures contained in the waste gas holdup system is maintained below the flammability limits of hydrogen and oxygen. During recombiner operation, an automatic control feature is included in the system to prevent the oxygen concentration from reaching these flammability limits. The automatic control feature includes isolation of the source of oxygen (the recombiner oxygen supply), to reduce the concentration below the flammability limit. When the recombiner is not operating and thus the recombiner oxygen supply is isolated, a grab sample can be taken to measure oxygen levels in the waste gas system. Maintaining the concentration of oxygen below the flammability limit when hydrogen is above 4% by volume provides assurance that the releases of radioactive materials will be controlled in conformance with the requirements of General Design Criterion 60 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
TR 13.12.4 Gas Storage Tanks Restricting the quantity of radioactivity contained in each gas storage tank provides assurance that in the event of an uncontrolled release of the tanks contents, the resulting total body exposure to an individual at the nearest exclusion area boundary will not exceed 0.5 rem. This is consistent with Standard Review Plan 15.7.1, "Waste Gas System Failure".

A suitable environment must be maintained in the TSC for personnel occupancy and equipment operation during radiological events. To accomplish this, the TSC ventilation and filtration system provides an adequate supply of filtered, fresh air during accident conditions, as well as minimizing airborne radioactivity in the TSC during and after an accident. FUNCTIONAL testing of the ventilation system is therefore performed to ensure the TSC remains habitable.
TRS 13.13.1.2 Procedure FNP-0-EIP-16.0, Emergency Equipment and Supplies, requires that inventories be performed of equipment in the TSC once per calendar quarter. This TRS also ensures the availability of emergency equipment supplies that are normally kept in the OSC. This surveillance ensures that the ERFs are maintained in a state of readiness with respect to the equipment and items necessary for emergency response. If some items are not in place, they shall be immediately replaced. However, if certain items cannot be replaced, Emergency Preparedness personnel shall evaluate their loss with respect to the FUNCTIONALITY of the respective ERF.

The multiline ERF phones require FUNCTIONAL testing each calendar quarter and provide communications within the plant during an emergency to facilitate event diagnosis, the assignment and dispatch of emergency personnel, and information updates of plant conditions.
The ENN and ENS systems are the primary methods of notifying State and local authorities and the NRC and, as such, these systems should remain FUNCTIONAL. ENN and ENS equipment are available in both the TSC and EOF. Testing of EOF communication equipment is performed quarterly in accordance with NMP-EP-300.
A single nonfunctional communications system will not necessarily indicate a nonfunctional ERF. Emergency Preparedness shall evaluate each case in determining the FUNCTIONALITY of the particular ERF.
Procedure FNP-0-EIP-16.0, Emergency Equipment and Supplies, requires FUNCTIONAL testing of offsite dose projection equipment once per calendar month. Initial offsite dose projections are often made from the TSC. Followup projections are usually made from the EOF.
Consequently, it is appropriate that both facilities retain FUNCTIONAL offsite dose projection equipment. The calendar month frequency is appropriate since, realistically, the offsite dose projection equipment will be also tested during the three or four drills that are held each year at Plant Farley.
