"For BVPS, recovery of offsite power following station blackout is dependent upon medium-voltage insulated cable, Switchyard bus, breakers, transmission conductors, and high voltage insulators that connect the plant electrical distribution system to the offsite AC power source via the station service transformers. The supply of offsite power to the plant electrical distribution system is within the scope of License Renewal from and including the first breakers in the switchyard (breakers 92 and 83 for Unit 1, and breakers 85 and 94 for Unit 2) from the plant electrical distribution system, as shown on Figures 2.5-1 and 2.5-2. Switchyard bus, transmission conductors, high-voltage insulators, and connections connecting Switchyard breakers and station service transformers are subject to aging management review. Medium-voltage cables and connections, connecting station service transformers and nonsafety buses are subject to aging management review. Medium-voltage cables and connections connecting nonsafety buses to the safety buses are subject to aging management review."
