As a further example, Specifi-cation 3.6.6.1 requires two primary ontainpent hydrogen recombiner systems to be OPERABLE and provides explicit ACT N requirements if one recombiner system is inoperable. Under the requireme s of Specification 3.0.3, if both of the required systems are inoperable within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />' measures must be initiated to place the unit in at least STARTUP thin the next 6 h'ours and in at least HOT SHUTDOWN within the following 6 hour6.944444e-5 days <br />0.00167 hours <br />9.920635e-6 weeks <br />2.283e-6 months <br /> It is acceptable to initiate s and complete a reduc-tion in OPERATIONAL CONDIT S in a shorter time interval than required in the ACTION statement and to a the unused portion of this allowable out-of-service time to that provided f operation in subsequent lowe'r 0PERATIONAL s CONDITION (S).

v 3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be satisfied to permit operation to continue, consistent with the ACTION state-ments for power sources, when a normal or emergency power source is not OPERABLE.

It specifically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable because its normal or emergency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, train, component or device in another division is inoperable for another reason.

The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statements associated with individual systems, subsystems, trains, components or devices to be consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power source. It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the ACTION statement associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation for the normal or emergency power source, not the individual ACTION statements for each system, subsystem, train, component or device that is determined to be fnoperable solely because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source. The pro-visions of Specification 3.0.5 are not applicable to the HPCS system, electrical division 3 or diesel generator 1B.

For example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that emergency diesel generators 0 and 1A be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> out-of-service time when emergency diesel generator 0 or 1A is not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specification 3.0.5, all systes:s, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable emergency power source, diesel generator 0 or 1A, U would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION statements for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Operation.

However, the provisions of Specification 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable emer0ency diesel generator instead, provided the other specified conditions.are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that the corresponding normal power source must be OPERABLE, and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components, and devices must be OPERABLE,'or otherwise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e., be capable of performing their design function and have at least one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE). If they are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

As a further example, Specifiestion 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two physically independent circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class IE distribution system be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE.

If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of Specifica-tion 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable normal power sources, both of the offsite circuits, would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the applicable ACTION state-ments for each of the applicable LC01 However, the provisions of Specifica-tion 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement for the inoperable normal power sources instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that for one division the emergency power source must be OPERABLE LA SALLE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 O M

(as must be the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e. , be capable of performing their design functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE). In other words, both emergency power sources 0 and 1A must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE. If these conditions are not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification.

In OPERATIONAL CONDITION 4 or 5, Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statement for each applicable Limiting Condition for Operation in these OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS must be adhered to.

4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities neces .y to ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will be perfo ed dur the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions for which the Lim ing Condi 'ons for Operation are applicable. Provisions for additional sp veillance activit. s to be performed without regard to the applicable OPERATIONAL CONDI-TIONS or o er conditions are provided in the individual Surveillpn'ce Require-ments. Surv llance Requirements for Special Test Exceptions n d only be performed when .he Special Test Exception is being utilized a an exception to an individual sp ification.

4.0.2 The provisi as of this specification prov' e allowable tolerances for performing surveillances activities beyond thos . pecified in the nominal surveillance interval. These tolerances are nec sary to provide operational flexibilit "at least"y associated because ofwith scheduling and performa e considerations. The phrase a surveillance fr uency does not negate this allowable tolerance; instead, it pi mits e more frequent performance of surveillance activities.

It is the allowable tolerance be used as a convenience to repeatedly schedule the erformance of surveillances at the allowable toleran limit.

Specifications 3. 0.1 throuch 3. 0. 4 establish the general requirement s applicable to the Limiting Conditions for Operation. These requirement s are

- based on the requirements for the Limiting Conditions for Operation, as stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2):

" Limiting Conditions for Operation are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a Limiting Condition for Operation of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee shall shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the technical specification until the

' condition can be met."

Snecification 3.0.1 establishes the Applicability statement, located within each individual specification, as the requirement for when (i.e. , in which OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other specified CONDITIONS) conformance to the Limiting Conditions for Operation, is required for safe operation of the facility. The ACTION requirements establish those remedial measures that must be taken within specified time limits, when the requirements of a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It is not intended that the shutdown ACTION requirements be used as an operational convenience which permits (rout ine) voluntary. removal of a system (s) or component (s) from service in lieu of other alternatives that would not result in redundant systems or components being inoperable.

There are two basic types of ACTION requirements. The first specifies the ,

remedial measures that permit continued operation of the f acility which is not further restricted by the time limits of the ACTION requirements. In this case, conformance to the ACTION requirements provides an acceptable level of safety for unlimited continued operation as long as the ACTION requirements continue to be met. The second type of ACTION requirement specifies a time limit in which conformance to the conditions of the Limiting Conditions for Operation must be met. This time limit is the allowable outage time to restore an inoperable system or component to OPERABLE status or for restoring parameters within specified limits. If these actions are not completed within the allowable outage time limits, a shutdown is required to place the facility in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified CONDITION in which the specification no longer applies.

The specified time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable f r om the point in time it is identified that a LimitinD Condition for Operation is not met. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are also applicable when a system or ccmponent is removed from service for surveillance testing or investigation of operational problems. Individual specifications may include a specified t ime limit for the complet ion of a Surveillance Requirement when equipment is removed from service. In this case, the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements are appliccJle when this limit expires if the surveillance has not been completed. When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the plant may have entered an OPERATIONAL CONDITION in which a new specification becomes applicable, in this case, the time limits of the ACTION requirements would apply from the point in time that LASALLE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 0-1 DROPOSED AMENDMENT

'the new= specification becomes applicable if the requirements of the Limiting

. Condition for Operation are .not met.

Oneeffication 3.0.2. establishes that noncompliance with a specification exists when the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and the associated ACTION requirements have not been implemented within the specified time interval. The purpose of this specificatien is to clarify

-that (1) . implementation of the ACTION requirements within the specified stime interval constitutes compliance with a specification and (2) completion of the remedial measures of. the ACTION requirements is not required when compliance-

~w ith a. LimitinD Condition of Operation is restored within the time interval specified in the associated ACTION requirements.

Specification 3. 0. 3. establishes the shutdown ACTION requirements that must

,~

be' implemented when a" Limiting. Condition for Operation is not met and the condit ion -is -not specifically addressed by the associated ACTION requirement s.

-The purpose of this specification is to delineate the time limits for placing the. unit in a safe shutdown CONDITION when plant operation cannot be maintained within the limits for safe operation -defined by the_ Limiting Conditions for Operation and its ACTION requiroments. It is not intended to be used as an operational convenience which 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 inoperable. One hour is allowed to prepare for'an orderly shutdown before

initiating a change in plant operation. _This time. permits the operator to
coordinate the' reduction in electrical. generation with the' load dispatcher to ensure the stability and availability of the electrical grid. The time limits specified to reach. lower CONDITIONS of- operation permit the shutdown to proceed in a controlled and orderly manner that is well within the specified maximum cooldown rate and within the cooldown capabilities of the facility assuming only the minimum required equipment is OPERABLE. This reduces. thermal tstresses on . components of' the primary coolant system and the potential for a i plant. upset that could challenge safety systems under CONDITIONS for which this specification applies.

If remedial measures permitting limited continued operation of the facility under the provisions of the ACTION requirements are completed, the shutdown mayLbe terminated. The time limits of the ACTION requirements are applicable from 'the point in the time there was a failure to meet a Limiting Condition for Operation. Therefore, the shutdown may be terminated if the ACTION

-requirements have been met or the time limits of the ACTION requirements have j(, not expired, thus providing an allowance for the completion of the required actions.

The time limits of Specification 3.0.3. allow 37 hours4.282407e-4 days <br />0.0103 hours <br />6.117725e-5 weeks <br />1.40785e-5 months <br /> for the plant to be in COLD- SHUTDOWN when a shutdown is required during p0WER operation. If the f[

CONDITION, is.not reduced. For example, if STARTUP is reached in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the time allowed to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br /> because the total time to reach HOT SHUTDOWN is not reduced from the allowable limit of 13 hours1.50463e-4 days <br />0.00361 hours <br />2.149471e-5 weeks <br />4.9465e-6 months <br />.

Therefore, if remedial measurer are completed that would permit a return to POWER operation, a penalty is not' incurred by having to reach a lower CONDITION of operation in less then the total time allowed.

The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION. requirements for one specification results in entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or CONDITION of operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, the difference may be added to the allowable outage time limits of the second specification. However, the allowable outaDe time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher CONDITION of operation may not be used to extend the hilowable outage time that is applicable when a Limiting Condition for Operation'is not met in a lower CONDITION of operation.

The shutdown _ requirements of specification 3.0.3. do not apply in CONDITIONS 4 and 5, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be iaken.

Specification ?.0.4 establishes limitations- on a change in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher CONDITION of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result'in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in CONDITIONS were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that hi Dher CONDITIONS of operation are not entered when correcti've action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation l without regard to the status of the plant before or after a change in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified CONDITION may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.

When a shutdown is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions of specification 3.0.4. do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower CONDITION of operation.

Snecifications 4. 0, l' . throuah 4. 0. 5. establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the Surveillance RequirementLstated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR

50. 36 (c) (3) :

" Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibratlon,- or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the Limiting Conditions of Operation will be met."

' Specification 4. 0.1 establishes the requir went that surveillances must be performed durinD the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or-other CONDITIONS for which the requirements' of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise t

stated in an itidividual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the

[ , operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within r specified ~ limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in an OPERATIONAL-CONDITION or other specified condition for which the individual f

' Limiting ~ Conditions for Operation are applicable.- Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed when the. facility is in-an OPERATIONAL.

The Surveillance Requirements b associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special g Test Exception is used as an allowable exception to the requirements of at specification.

! Specification 4.0.2. establishes the conditions under which the specified n

p time interval for Surveillance Requirement s may be extended. The specification permits an allowable extension of the normal surveillance

[ interval; to. facilitate surveillance scheduling, and consideration of plant R operatinD CONDITIONS, that may not be suitable for conducting the

~h surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or

-maintenance activities. The limit given in Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering ,)udgement and the recognition that the most probable result of any '

particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance

.with the Surveillance Requirements. These provisions are sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured throuDh surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillance interval. It is not intended that the allowable tolerance be used as a

. convenience to repeatedly schedule the performance of surveillances at the allowable tolerance limit.

Spec t rica t ion 4. 0. 3. establishes the failure to per form a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the.

provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.

The specificaticas of this section provide the general equirements ,,

the re 'trements stated in these Technical Specificatio and those stated in an ap icable Regulation or Act, the requirements s ted in the applicable Regulation r Act, shall take precedence and shall be et. .

3.0.1 is specification states the applicabi ty of each specification I in terms of de ed OPERATIONAL CONDIT!0N or other specified applicability condition and is ovided to delineate specifical y when each specification is applicable.

3.0.2' This spec ication defines those nditions necessary to constitute compliance with the te of an individual L iting Condition for Operation and associated ACTION req 'rement.

3.0.3 This specificati delineates he measures to be taken for circumstances not directly prov(ded for n the ACTION statements and whose occurrence would violate the inttet of he specification. -For example, Specification 3.7.2 requires two & t i room and auxiliary electric equipment room emergency filtration trains to OPERABLE and provides explicit ACTION requirements if one train is inoper bl .

It is acceptable to l initiate and complete reduction in OPERATIONAL CONDITI S in a shorter time interval than requir d in the ACTION statement and to add e unused portion of this allowable t-of-service time to that provided for o eration in sub-sequent lower OPE TIONAL CONDITION (S).

3.0.5 This specification delineates what additional conditions must be satisfied to permit operation to continue, consistent with the ACTION state-ments for power scarces, when a nortual or emergency power source is not OPERABLE.

It specifically prohibits operation when one division is inoperable becauto its normal or emergency power source is inoperable and a system, subsystem, train, <

component or device in another division is inoperable for another reason.

The provisions of this specification permit the ACTION statements associated with individual systems, subsystems, trains, components or devices to be .

consistent with the ACTION statements of the associated electrical power I source. It allows operation to be governed by the time limits of the AC1 ION statement associated with the Limiting Condition for Operation for-the normal 1 or emergency power source, not the individual ACTION statements for each system, '

subsystem, train, component or device.that is determined to be inoperable solely j because of the inoperability of its normal or emergency power source. The pro- )

visions of Specification 3.0.5 are not applicable to the HPCS system, electrical l division 3 or diesel generator 18. l Fnr example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that emergency diesel )

-generators 0 and 2A be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides for a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> i out-of.-service time when emergency diesel generator 0 or 2A is not OPERABLE. 1 If the definition of OPERABLE were applied without consideration of I Specification 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, compomnts and devices ,

supplied by the inoperable emergency power source, diesel generator 0 or 2A, I would also be inoperable. This would dictate invoking the app dcable ACTION i statements for each of the applicable Limiting Conditions for Op e ation. l However, the provisions of Specification 3.0.5 permit the time lir.ie ' - l continued operation to be consistent with the ACTION statement fo W I ir.cperable emergency diesel generator instead, provided the otror m cified c m ditions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that the corresponding normal power source must be OPERABLE, and all redundant systems, sub:ystems, trains, components, and devices must be OPERABLE, or otherwise satisfy l Specification 3.0.5 (i.e. , be capable of performing their design function and 1

-have at least one normal or one emergency power source OPERABLE). If they are L not satisfied, action is required in accordance with this specification. ,

As a further example, Specification 3.8.1.1 requires in part that two physically l

> independent circuits between tha offsite' transmission network and the onsite i L Class IE distribution system be OPERABLE. The ACTION statement provides a  !

2a hour out-of-service time when both required offsite circuits are not OPERABLE. 1 If the definition of OPERABLE were aoplied without consideration of Specifica- J tion 3.0.5, all systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices supplied by the inoperable normal power sources, both of the offsite circuits, would 1

also be inoperable. This vould dictate invoking the applicable ACTION state-ments for each of the appMuple LCOs. However, the provisions of Specifica- )

tion 3.0.5 permit the time limits for continued operation to be consistent I with the ACTION statement for the inoperable normal power sources instead, provided the other specified conditions are satisfied. In this case, this would mean that- for one division the emergency power source must be OPERABLE LA SALLE - UNIT 2 8 3/4 0-2

(as must be the components supplied by the emergency power source) and all redundant. systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in the other division must be OPERABLE, or likewise satisfy Specification 3.0.5 (i.e. , be '

capable of performing their design functions and have an emergency power source OPERABLE). In other words, both emergency power sources 0 and 2A must be OPERABLE and all redundant systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices in both divisions must also be OPERABLE. If these conditions are not satisfied, action'is required in accordance with this specification.

In OPERATIONAL CONDITION 4 or 5, Specification 3.0.5 is not applicable, and thus the individual ACTION statement for each applicable Limiting Condition for Operation in these OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS must be adhered to.

4.0.1 This specification provides that surveillance activities cessary ensure the Limiting Conditions for Operation are met and will b performed d ng the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions.for which e Limiting Con ions for Operation are applicable.

S veillance Requirements for'Special Test Ex tions need only be performed W n the Special Test Exception is being lized as an exception to an individual ecification.

4.0.2 The prov ions of chis specific ion provide allowable tolerances for performing surveil ce activities be nd those specified in the nominal surveillance intarval. 'se tolerance are necessary to provide operational flexibility because of sche ling and erformance considerations. The phrase "at least" associated with a vei ance frequeru does not negate this allowable tolerance; instead, it rmits the more frequent performance of surveillance activities.

The allowable tolerance for performing ' veillance activities is sufficiently restrictive to ensure th the reliability ssociated with the surveillance activity is.not signif* antly degraded beyon that obtained from the nominal surveillance interva . It is not intended tha the allowable tolerance be used as a convenie e to repeatedly schedule the rformance of surveillances at the allowable olerance limit.

4.0.3 T provisions of this specification set for the criteria for determinatio of compliance with the OPERABILITY requiremen of the Limiting Conditions or Operation. Under this criteria, equipment, syhems or components are assum to be OPERABLE if the associated surveillance activ1Jes have been satisfac'orily performed within the specified time interval. Noth in this provis' n is to be construed as defining equipment, systems or compon ts OPERA E, when such items are found or known to be inoperable although . ill mee ng the Surveillance Requirements.

For example, if STARTUP is reached in 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, the time a* wed to reach h0T SHUTDOWN is the next 11 hours1.273148e-4 days <br />0.00306 hours <br />1.818783e-5 weeks <br />4.1855e-6 months <br /> because the total time to en2..

Therefore, if remedial measures are completed thai; would permit a return to POWER operation,. a penalty is not incurred by having to reach a lower CONDITION of operation in less than the total time allowed.

The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one specification results in entry into an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or CONDITION of ll operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting

, . Condition _ for Operation are not met. If the new specification becomes

. applicable in less time than specified, the difference may be added to the allowable outaDe- time limits of the second- specification. However, the allowable outage time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher CONDITICN of operation may not be used to extend the alloiable outage time that is applicable when a LimitinD Condition for Qeration is not met in a Icwer CONDITION of operation.

The shutdown requirements of specification 3.0.3. do not apply in CONDITIONS 4 and 5, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken.

Sperification 3. 0. 4. establishes limitations on a change in OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility in a higher CONDITION of operation'when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements if a change in CONDITIONS were permitted. The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher CONDITIONS of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain .;ompliance with a specification oy restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that pertait continord operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an acceptable level of safety for continued operation

,[ without regard to the status of the plant before or after a change in f OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL

, CONDITION or other specified CONDITION may be made in accordance with tha i provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsir.g the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.

It- When a shutdowr is required to comply with ACTION requirements, the provisions I of specification 3. 0. 4. do not apply because they would delay placing the facility-in a lower CONDITION of operation, f

u========================================================================

Specificationn 4.0.1. throuch 4. 0. 5. establish the general requirements applicable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the

' Surveillance Requi rement stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, 10 CFR

50. 36 (c) (3) :

" Surveillance requirements are requirements relatinD to test, calibration, or inspection to ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, that facility operation will be within safety limits, and that the Liciting Conditions of Operation will be met."

Soerification 4.0.1 establishes the requirement that surveillances must be performed during the OpEPATIONAL CONDITIONS or other CONDITIONS for which the requirements of the Limiting Conditions for Operation apply unless otherwise stated in an individual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose of.this specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the operational. status of systems and components and that param3ters are within specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in an OpERATIJNAL CONDITION or other specified condition for which the individual Limiting Conditions for Operation are applicable. Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION for~which the requirements of the associated Limited Condition for Operation do not apply unless otherwise specified. The Surveillance Requirements associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special Test Exception is used as an allowable exception to the requiremen+s of a specification.

Specification 4. 0. 2. establishes the conditiens under which the specified

' time interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. The specification permits an allcwable extension of the normal surveillance interval; to facilitate surveillance scheduling, and consideration of plant operating CONDITIONS, that may not be suitable foi conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or Aner ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. The limit given in Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgement and the recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. These provisions are sufficient to ensure that the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not J significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveillante interval. It is not intended that the allowable tolerance be used as a convenience to repeatedly schedule the performance of surveillances at the allowable tolerance limit.

h Scecification 4.0.3. establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance Requirement within the allowed surveillance interval, defined by the provisions of Specification 4.0.2, as a condition that constitutes a failure to meet the OPERABILITY requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation.

Under the provisions of this specification, systems and components are assumed to be OPERABLE when Surveillance Requirements have been satisfactorily performed within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this LASALLE - UNIT 2 B 2/4 0-5 PROPOSED AMENDMENT b
