10-A. Limit<strong>in</strong>g Conditions for Operation<br />

specifications should only <strong>in</strong>clude essential NPP safety related items that have been<br />

derived from analyses/assessments of safety analysis reports, up to this po<strong>in</strong>t,<br />

requirements related to the operation of nuclear reactors tended to also be <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> the<br />

operational technical specifications. The reason beh<strong>in</strong>d such broad usage of the<br />

operational technical specifications is due to the lack of well def<strong>in</strong>ed criteria. Furthermore<br />

due to this matter, frequent demands were made to modify the technical specifications,<br />

which resulted <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>creased volume of the technical specifications. The absence of<br />

consistency made it difficult for both the regulatory body as well as the <strong>in</strong>dustry.<br />

Therefore, accord<strong>in</strong>g to each type of domestically operat<strong>in</strong>g reactor, regulatory<br />

philosophies and methods, <strong>in</strong>herent design concepts, and technical background<br />

<strong>in</strong>terpretations of each country of import were researched to develop an appropriate<br />

standard operational technical specification while consider<strong>in</strong>g the domestic regulatory<br />

system and levels of technology1), 2),.<br />

The <strong>in</strong>itial operational technical specifications were developed <strong>in</strong> an operator oriented<br />

fashion accord<strong>in</strong>g to the necessary items and <strong>in</strong>dividual characteristics of each NPP from<br />
