• A. The requirements relating to tests, calibration, or inspection that ensure that necessary quality of systems and components is maintained, operation within safety limits, and LCOs met
• B. The requirements for staffing levels
• C. The design features
• D. The administrative structure

Answer: (A)

Surveillance Requirements focus on periodic verification that safety-related equipment continues to perform as intended. They specify what must be tested, calibrated, or inspected, how often to do it, and the acceptance criteria. This keeps the quality of systems and components, ensures operation stays within safety limits, and confirms that Limiting Conditions for Operation are met between shutdowns. It’s about ongoing verification of performance, not about staffing, design features, or administrative structure. For example, calibrating instrument sensors and periodically testing safety valves are actions driven by surveillance to maintain confidence that measurements and safety functions remain reliable.
