This is also similar to the question of source leak tests. Source leak tests are clearly in the TS/TRM with other items where surveillance grace applies, but many hold to a hard 6 months for leak tests.
Our utility has generally stayed away from applying that process to any due dates for RP items. We'll do it for safety significant issues, but not for the lower risk RP items. I think for source leak tests which are clearly described in the TS/TRM the grace applies, but the RP instrument program isn't described in the TS/TRM. I suppose you could also say all procedures in some way support the SAR/TS/TRM to try to apply that logic. RP supports more safety significant surveillances for the plant and the station applies grace, but we say it's not applicable to a no-risk GM frisker cal. The safety logic doesn't work here. I think if it's okay for safety related surveillances, it should be good enough for a frisker. If I can't get the grace process accepted for source leak tests, I certainly won't get it for a program further removed from TS/TRM. I'll invest my energy in other parts of the RP program.

You could make the case for using the periodicity allowance in your TS / TRM for calibration / functional surveillance grace period, say +25% of calibration periodicity, thus semi annual / annual cals due at the end of month would be well within grace period. For those that use exact due date, what technical reference is used for basis?

The other plants in the FENOC fleet use the exact cal date plus frequency as a due date. What does your organization use? A. Due date at the end of the month? B. Exact due date (cal date + frequency)?
