No, you can only extend 25% for subsequent surveillances after the initial surveillance has been complete

36
Q

which the reactor is subcritical or would be subcritical from its present condition assuming a single rod of highest reactivity worth is assumed to be fully withdrawn

A

Shutdown Margin (SDM)

37
Q

Define Operable/Operability

A

When a system and all of its aux equipment are capable of performing its specified safety function(s) and related support function(s)

38
Q

The amount of time allowed for completion of a Required Action is the definition of?

40

  • Average Reactor Coolant Temperature (°F)
  • Reactor vessel head closure bolt tensioning
41
Q

Define Core Alteration

A

Core Alteration shall be the movement of any fuel, sources, or reactivity control components, within the reactor vessel with the vessel head removed and fuel in the vessel. Suspension of Core Alteration shall not preclude completion of movement of a component to a safe position.

42
Q

Equipment is assumed to be Operable if its what are met?

Ref SR 3.0.1

A

If its SRs are met

43
Q

Equipment is inoperable if?

Ref SR 3.0.1

A

Equipment is Inoperable if

  • An SR is known not to be met, even if the SR is between its required performance interval
44
Q

Surveillance Requirements do not have to be performed if?

A

when the associated LCO is not applicable, unless specifically stated, or on inoperable equipment or variables that are outside limits

45
Q

Do Surveillance Requirements have to be performed following maintenance prior to returning equipment to Operable status?

A

Yes, unless otherwise stated

46
Q

Is SR 3.0.2 used to routinely extend the performance intervals?

A

No, it is not intended to be used to routinely extend the performance interval. It allows for unforeseen problems that may prevent performance of the SR during the normal interval. 25% extended time if needed

A LOSF exists when, assuming no concurrent single failure, and assuming no concurrent loss of offsite power or loss of onsite EDG(s), a safety function assumed in the accident analysis cannot be performed.

- actions of a tech spec are not required until the discovery of a failure to meet the LCO

Rule 2
- plant operation may continue if an LCO is not met as long as the req. of the actions are met

Rule 3
- if a condition has been entered but the req of the LCO are met before expiration of the completion time, completion of req action is not required unless otherwise stated

Rule 4
- “unless otherwise stated” refers to instances that require completion of required actions even if the affected equip is declared operable

Rule 5
- all of the actions requirements are applicable every time a TS condition is entered

61

Assumed that:

  • 1 Train of ECCS fails
