/3/4.0 APPLICABILITY L BASES (Con't) p

Specifications 4.0.1 through 4.0.5 establish the general requirements appli-cable to Surveillance Requirements. These requirements are based on the ,

j, Surveillance Requirements stated in the Code of Federal Regulations, j 10 CFR 50.36(c)(3):  !

" Surveillance requirements are requirements relating to test, calibration,

'or inspection to-ensure that the necessary quality of systems and components is Caintained, that facility operation will be within safety-limits, and that the--

limiting conditions of operation will be met."

Specification 4.0.1 establishes the requirement that surveillances must be

. performed during the OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS or other conditions for which the  ;

requirements of the Limiting Conditions fnr Operation apply unless otherwise L state'd in an individual Surveillance Requirement. The purpose of this 1 specification is to ensure that surveillances are performed to verify the i operational status of systems and components and that parameters are within j specified limits to ensure safe operation of the facility when the plant is in j an OPERATIONAL CONDITION or other specified condition for which the individual  !

Limiting Conditions for Operation art applicable. Surveillance Requirements 1 do not have to be performed when the facility is in an OPERATIONAL CONDITION 3 for'which the requirements of the associated Limiting Condition for Operation 'I do not apply unless otherwise specified. The Surveillance Requirements mm2 associated with a Special Test Exception are only applicable when the Special  ;

Test Exception is-used as an allowable exception to the requirements of a  ;

specification.

Specification 4.0.2 establishes the conditions under which the specified ti.me '

-interval for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. Item a. permits an j allowable extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveil-  !

lance scheduling and consideration of plant operating conditions that may not l 1 - be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e.g., transient conditions or j

' other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. Item b.' limits the use

_ of.the provisions of item a. to ensure that it is not used repeatedly to.exten ,

, the-surveillance interval beyond that specified. The limits of Specification l

--4.0.2 are based on engineering judgment and the recognition that the most pro- l n bable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verificatio I I of conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. These provisions are suf-  ;

' ficient to ensure that the' reliability ensured through surveillance activities  !

L is not significantly degraded beyond that obtained from the specified surveil- I l lance interval. - -

l Specification 4.0.3 establishes the failure to perform a Surveillance Require- j ment 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 l within the specified time interval. However, nothing in this provision is to HOPE CREEK B 3/4 0-4  ;

w I Specification ~4.0.0 establishes the limit for which the specified time l l interval.for Surveillance Requirements may be extended. It permits an allowable-extension of the normal surveillance interval to facilitate surveillance scheduling and consideration of plant-operating conditions:

-that may not be suitable for conducting the surveillance; e~.g.,

transient conditions or other ongoing surveillance or maintenance activities. It also provides flexibility to accomodate the length of a: ,

fuel cycle for surv3111ances that are performed at each refueling i outage and are specified with an 18-month surveillance interval. It is F not intended that this provision-be used repeatedly as a convenience to extend surveillance intervals beyond that specified for surveillances-that are not performed during refueling outages. 'The limitation of Specification 4.0.2 is based on engineering judgement and the i

recognition that the most probable result of any particular surveillance being performed is the verification od conformance with the Surveillance Requirements. This provision is sufficient to ensure that-the reliability ensured through surveillance activities is not significantly degraded beyond tht obtained from the specified surviellance interval.
