Content:
te level of protection for the integrity of certain physical barriers that guard against the uncontrolled release of radioactive material. B. 10 CFR 50.36(d)(1)(ii)(A) Limiting Safety System Settings. Limiting safety system settings are for automatic protective devices affecting variables with significant safety functions. C. 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2) LCOs. LCOs are the lowest functional capability or performance levels of equipment required for safe operation of the facility. When a LCO of a nuclear reactor is not met, the licensee must shut down the reactor or follow any remedial action permitted by the TS until the condition can be met. A TS LCO of a nuclear reactor must be established for each item meeting one or more of the following 10 CFR 50.36(d)(2)(ii) criteria: (i) Criterion 1. Installed instrumentation used to detect and indicate in the control room a significant abnormal degradation of the reactor coolant pressure boundary. (ii) Criterion 2. A process variable, design feature, or operating restriction that is an initial condition of a design-basis accident or transient analysis that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. (iii) Criterion 3. An SSC part of the primary success path functioning or actuating to mitigate a design-basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. (iv) Criterion 4. An SSC which operating experience or PRA has shown to be significant to public health and safety. D. 10 CFR 50.36(d)(3) Surveillance Requirements (SRs). SRs relate to test, calibration, or inspection to maintain the necessary system and component quality, to operate the facility operation within safety limits, and to meet LCOs. 16.0-8 Revision 2 - March 2007 E. 10 CFR 50.36(d)(4) Design Features. Design features affect aspects of the facility (e.g., construction materials and geometric arrangements) not covered in the categories
