Performance degradation does not include: (1) A burned out power indicator light on a

piece of radiation monitoring equipment which does not prevent the equipment from

detecting elevated radiation levels and alarming as designed; (2) A piece of equipment

that is determined to be out of calibration on the conservative side (such as a low level

alarm that alarms at a higher value than it should); or (3) the temporary loss of a

component where identical redundant components are maintained in operation and the
