What does LCO 3.0.7 state?

Answer 11

Physics testing

Question 12

What does LCO 3.0.8 state?

Answer 12

A system is not declared inoperable due to an inoperable HELB barrier (i.e. AFW)

Question 13

What does SR 3.0.1 state?

Answer 13

Failure to meet the SR shall be failure to meet the LCO

Question 14

What does SR 3.0.2 state?

Answer 14

Specified frequency is met if the surveillance is performed within 1.25 times the interval specified

Question 15

What does SR 3.0.3 state?

Answer 15

IF surveillance is not performed within specified frequency, then compliance to declare the LCO not met may be delayed 24 hours or the interval of the surveillance. A risk eval must be performed.

Question 16

What does SR 3.0.4 state?

Answer 16

SR must be met when entering a mode of applicability

Question 17

To apply 1.3 Completion Times, what conditions must be met?

Answer 17

1) Subsequent failure must exist concurrent with the first inoperability
2) Must remain inoperable after the first inoperability is resolved
3) Subsequent Train

Question 18

How does one apply 1.3 Completion Times?

Answer 18

More restrictive of:

Stated completion time from initial inoperable + 24 hours

Stated completion time from subsequent inoperable
