Exhibit A Supplemental License Amendment Request and Response to Request for Additional Information Regarding License Amendment Request for Revision to Standby Diesel Generators Technical Specifications and Surveillance Requirements

Background

By letter dated September 27, 2001 Nuclear Management Company, LLC (NMC) submitted a request for a change to Appendix A, Technical Specifications, of Operating License DPR-22 for the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The submittal proposed to revise the diesel generator Technical Specifications (TS) to revise the minimum volume of fuel oil required for diesel generator (DG) operability, add a TS Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) and Surveillance Requirement (SR) regarding DG starting air receivers, delete a current TS SR regarding DG starting air compressors, and repaginate, restructure, and renumber the TS LCO's and SR's for applicability and administrative purposes.

The addition of a TS LCO and corresponding SR regarding the DG starting air receivers was determined to be a logical change to propose since the current TS SR regarding starting air compressors has no direct impact on DG operability and does not meet the minimum requirements, specified in 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii), for inclusion in the TS. The Monticello plant staff also wanted to take advantage of the robust design of the DG starting air receivers to provide more flexibility for the operation of the DG.

As stated in the Monticello Updated Safety Analysis Report (USAR), Section 8.4.1.2, "Power to start each diesel generator is derived from two independent air starting systems. Each consists of a pair of compressed air driven motors, an air dryer, strainer, air line lubricator, and related storage tanks. This provides 100% redundancy for each unit's air starting system. Starting at nominal pressure (200 psig), each of these systems has adequate capacity to start five times without recharging." A schematic diagram of a starting air system is attached in Exhibit B.

The above statement is correct for the design basis of the starting air systems for the DGs, however, the automatic start logic for each DG provides for a total of three automatic start attempts from its two associated starting air receivers before manual operator action would be required. The automatic start logic first attempts to start the DG from the selected (primary) starting air receiver. If the DG fails to start, the automatic logic will select both starting air receivers for the second attempt to start the DG. If the DG again fails to start, the automatic logic will then attempt to start the DG by selecting the non-selected (secondary) starting air receiver for the third attempt to start the DG. If the DG fails to start on the third attempt then manual operator action is required for any A-1

Exhibit A additional attempts to start the DG. With manual operation there is still sufficient air pressure to attempt a minimum of one additional start of the DG from each starting air receiver.

The Monticello USAR states that starting at a nominal pressure of 200 psig each starting air receiver has the capability of starting its associated DG a minimum of five times.

During normal operation each starting air receiver's air compressor cycles on when the pressure in the receiver drops to 175 psig and recharges the starting air receiver to an approximate pressure of 200 psig. With a pressure > 165 psig each starting air receiver has sufficient air pressure to start its associated DG a minimum of 3 times.

Specific NRC questions and corresponding NMC responses are as follows:

NRC Question:

1.

The proposed new technical specification (TS) 3.9.B.3.c Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) for standby diesel generators states:

c.

"When a diesel generator is required to be operable, maintain air pressure for both associated air starting receivers > 165 psig.

1)

When a diesel generator starting air receiver pressure < 165 psig, restore starting air receiver pressure to > 165 psig within 7 days, or declare the associated diesel generator inoperable.

2)

With both diesel generator starting air receivers pressure < 165 psig, immediately declare the associated diesel generator inoperable."

Standard technical specification (STS)1 Section LCO 3.8.3.E requires that when one or more diesel generators with starting air receiver pressure <225 psig and >

125 psig, restore (with completion time of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />) the starting air receiver pressure to >225 psig.

STS LCO in Section B 3.8.3 states: "The starting air system is required to have a minimum capacity for five successive diesel generator start attempts without recharging the air start receivers."

The technical rationale for the additional requirement is that the change is consistent with NUREG-1433, General Electric Plants, BWRI4, STS. The LCO completion time of 7 days for the proposed TS versus the completion time of 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> as specified in the STS is based upon the more robust design (i.e., two redundant air starting systems versus the single air starting system assumed in the applicable STS LCO). However, the proposed TS specifies the minimum air starting pressure rather than the nominal air starting pressure cited in the bases of the STS. Similarly, the associated STS Surveillance Requirement (SR) criteria is based on the nominal air pressure parameter necessary for the minimum number A-2

Exhibit A of engine start cycles without recharging the air receiver. Please provide a technical justification for using an off-normal or marginal parameter setting for the proposed LCO and SR instead of the nominal air starting pressure value (i.e., 200 psig).

NUREG-1433, "Standard Technical Specifications (STS) for General Electric Plants, BWR/4" Revision 2.

NMC Response:

The rationale for this off-normal parameter for the Technical Specification (TS) Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) is acceptable because of the operation of the robust starting air receiver system for the Monticello DG. The starting air receiver pressures cited in the Standard Technical Specifications (STS) are plant specific values as denoted by brackets. As discussed above, for Monticello, the minimum pressure of 165 psig for each starting air receiver provides enough air to perform a minimum of at least three (3) starts of the associated DG from each starting air receiver for a total of at least six starts.

Additionally, this TS change added a TS LCO and SR for the Diesel Generator (DG) starting air receivers and relocated the existing SR for the air compressors to plant procedures. This repagination, renumbering and rewording provides a TS that more closely models the TS of NUREG-1433, General Electric Plants, BWR/4, Standard Technical Specifications.

Due to the robust nature and redundant capabilities of the starting air system for each of the DG at Monticello, NMC has determined that the previously proposed LCO and actions for the proposed TS should be changed. Therefore, proposed TS 3.9.B.3.c is being reworded to state:

c.

"When a diesel generator is required to be operable, maintain air pressure for both associated air starting receivers > 165 psig.

1)

With one diesel generator starting air receiver pressure

< 165 psig, restore both starting air receivers pressure to > 165 psig within 7 days, or declare the associated diesel generator inoperable.

2)

With both diesel generator starting air receivers pressure < 165 psig but > 125 psig, restore both starting air receivers pressure to > 165 psig within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />, or declare the associated diesel generator inoperable.

3)

With both diesel generator starting air receivers pressure < 125 psig, immediately declare the associated diesel generator inoperable."

A-3

Exhibit A This rewording of the LCO is acceptable because it is based upon the more robust design of the starting air system for Monticello (i.e., two redundant air starting systems versus the single air starting system assumed in the applicable STS LCO). The starting air receivers pressure is acceptable because:

c.

With both starting air receivers at a pressure > 165 psig there is sufficient air pressure to start the associated DG a minimum of six (6) times. This is acceptable because startup test data shows that each starting air receiver can provide sufficient air pressure for a minimum of three (3) DG starts when starting at a pressure > 165 psig. This more than satisfies the five (5) start design requirement of the DG.

1) Test data shows that with one starting air receiver pressure > 165 psig and the other starting air receiver < 165 psig there is sufficient air pressure to start the associated DG a minimum of three (3) times. The seven (7) days to restore the starting air receiver pressure to > 165 psig is acceptable because the combined air pressure, of the two starting air receivers, provides for a minimum of three (3) starts for the associated diesel generator, either of which provides a high level of assurance that the DG will start.
2) With both starting air receivers pressure < 165 psig but > 125 psig there is sufficient air pressure to start the associated DG a minimum of two (2) times. This is acceptable because as long as each starting air receiver has a pressure > 125 psig, there is adequate capacity for at least one start attempt of the DG from each starting air receiver. The 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> to restore one of the starting air receivers to > 165 psig and entering the TS LCO 3.9.B.3.c.1, or restoring both starting air receivers to > 165 psig within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br /> is acceptable based on the remaining air start capacity, the fact that most DG starts are accomplished on the first attempt, and the low probability of an event during this brief period.
3) With both starting air receivers pressure < 125 psig there may not be sufficient air pressure to start the associated DG. Although, startup test data has demonstrated that the DG would probably start from an air pressure of < 125 psig, NMC cannot ensure a reliable start below this pressure.

The proposed revised TS provides high assurance that the DG will be available and provides adequate actions and allowances for instances in which full air start capability is not available. Additionally, the proposed revised TS adds operating flexibility without diminishing the starting air receivers capability, which more than satisfies the requirement from STS B 3.8.3 for each DG to have an air start system with adequate capacity for five successive start attempts on the DG without recharging the air start receiver(s).

A-4

Exhibit A Similarly, the associated STS Surveillance Requirement (SR) criteria is based on the nominal air pressure parameter necessary for the minimum number of engine start cycles without recharging the air receiver (i.e., one air start receiver for each Diesel Generator).

Whereas, the proposed Monticello SR criteria is based on providing sufficient air pressure in each redundant air receiver (i.e., two air start receivers for each Diesel Generator),

such that the combined pressure will provide adequate capacity for more than five successive start attempts on the DG without recharging the air start receivers.

A schematic diagram of the Emergency Diesel Generator starting air receivers is attached in Exhibit B.

NRC Question

2.

Please address the potential common-cause failure modes which may be possible given that one diesel generator starting air receiver pressure is less than the minimum pressure requirement (i.e., 165 psig) under the proposed LCO TS 3.9.B.3.c and identify any independent means which will verify that the remaining air receiver has sufficient capacity to provide enough air pressure for a minimum of two emergency diesel generator (EDG) starts.

NMC Response:

The starting air receivers for each Diesel Generator at Monticello are independent and redundant, but not diverse in that each receiver has like components. The starting air receivers are cross-connected by a manual valve, but there are no active air system failures which could effect both starting air receivers. The like components, similar to other like components in the plant, may create a potential for common-cause failures.

Upon failure or degradation of one starting air system, operations personnel will monitor the pressure of the redundant starting air receiver on a once per shift basis. The failure of a starting air receiver component will be reviewed, by plant personnel, to determine the root cause of the failure. This review will include the potential for a common-cause failure, of like components, for the other starting air receivers. The remaining starting air receiver will have sufficient pressure for a minimum of three (3) diesel generator starts, from 165 psig, as demonstrated by the Bechtel start-up test data.

During the start-up test the diesel generator was given a series of starts using only one air start receiver at a time. The air pressure in the air start receiver was built up to the automatic shut-off pressure of the compressor control switch. A start signal was given with the fuel held off, preventing the diesel generator from firing, and allowing the air start receiver motors to crank a full four seconds. This assured the maximum demand on the air start system. Based on this test data, it was demonstrated that, starting at a pressure less than 165 psig, each starting air receiver could start the associated Diesel Generator a minimum of three (3) times.

A-5

Exhibit A NRC Question

3.

Provide detailed calculations to demonstrate that the fuel oil stored in the underground fuel oil storage tank will be sufficient to support the operation of one EDG for 7 days following a loss-of-coolant accident (LOCA). Information should include:

a.

The methodology2 and assumptions used to calculate the fuel oil consumption rates.

b.

The minimum usable volume of the underground fuel oil storage tank, information should include the assumptions (e.g. instrumentation errors, vortex formation, etc.) used in the calculations and the tank design in detail (including drawings).

2 Calculations based on the assumption that the diesel generator operates continuously for 7 days at its rated capacity or calculations based on the time dependent loads of the diesel generator.

NMC Response:

A drawing of the Monticello underground fuel oil storage tank and the detailed calculations that demonstrate that the fuel oil stored in the underground fuel oil storage tank is sufficient to support the operation of one EDG for 7 days following a LOCA are attached in Exhibit B. The Calculation/Analysis for Minimum Allowable Fuel Oil Storage Tank Level and Addendum 1 to the Calculation/Analysis provides the information requested. Addendum 1 to Calculation/Analysis concludes that to address vortexing concerns, a non-conservative suction source for the Diesel Oil Transfer Pump, and to provide additional margin to the calculated value of minimum required fuel oil, the amount of fuel oil contained in the underground fuel oil storage tank should be maintained at 38,300 gallons.

The Calculation/Analysis for Minimum Allowable Fuel Oil Storage Tank Level and addendum 1 to the Calculation/Analysis is being provided to the NRC on a one-time basis and any revisions to the Calculation/Analysis in the future will not be provided unless required by 10 CFR 50.59.

NRC Question

4.

If the calculations for the EDG fuel oil consumption rates and inventory required are based on the time-dependent loads, the following information should be provided:

A-6

Exhibit A

a.

Tables or curves to show the EDG loadings and their corresponding fuel oil consumption rates and inventories as a function of time following the design bases accident.

b.

Discussion of the provision established in plant procedures for shedding 3 the loads following a LOCA, and

c.

State whether the proposed minimum EDG fuel oil required to be stored in the underground storage tank includes a 10% margin as recommended in American National Standards Institute N195-1076.

Information provided should clearly indicate which loads will be shed, following a LOCA, and at what times they will be shed.

NMC Response:

Since the calculations for the EDG fuel oil consumption rates and inventory required are not based on the time-dependent loads this question is not applicable to the Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant.

NRC Question

5.

With regard to the licensees' application requests for removing/relocating existing plant Technical Specifications (TS) sections and Surveillance Requirements (SR) sections, the staffs position is that existing TS sections and SR sections that fall within or satisfy any of the four criteria described in 10 CFR 50.36 (c) (2) (ii) must be retained in the TS, while those TS sections and SR sections that do not fall within or satisfy these criteria may be relocated to other licensee's administratively controlled documents, such as plant Technical Requirements Manuals (TRMs).

Please indicate the administratively controlled documents to which the current TS 4.9.B.3.b will be relocated and discuss how the air compressors will be maintained for readiness.

NMC Response:

As stated in the submittal dated September 27, 2001 current TS 4.9.B.3.b should be deleted because this surveillance requirement does not assure the operability of the EDGs will be maintained, nor that the LCO will be met. Testing the air compressors on a monthly basis does not demonstrate operability of the associated Diesel Generator (DG).

Operability of the DG is demonstrated by maintaining sufficient air pressure for the DG to automatically start on an automatic start signal.

A-7

Exhibit A The deletion of this TS SR is acceptable because it does not meet the regulatory requirements of 10 CFR 50.36(c)(2)(ii) for inclusion into the TS. The air compressors are not part of the primary success path and do not provide a safety function or actuation to mitigate a design basis accident or transient that either assumes the failure of or presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. Nor has this equipment been shown, either through operating experience or probabilistic risk assessment, to be significant to the public health and safety.

The requirements of current TS SR 4.9.B.3.b will be maintained in Monticello plant procedures, and the Preventive Maintenance Program. The air compressors will continue to be tested to ensure that they can support the function of maintaining the minimum air pressure in the starting air receivers. Any future changes to these requirements will be controlled by the regulations and requirements of 10 CFR 50.59.

The Heat Rate of the 999-20 configuration emergency generator at 2500 KW is 10,800 BTU/

KWH.

2.

The T-44 tank level instrtument -is accurate within 1/2 inch,

3.

The T-44 tank dimensions are accurate enough to give tank volume within 1%.

4.

The heads on T-45A and T-45B may be approximated by one foot high ellipsoids.

5. T.-45A and T-45B tank volumes are accurate to within 2% of total tank volume.
6.

The temperature effects on the fuel oil volume and consumption are negligible for purposes of this calcu]ation.

This is becnuse;

a.

The tank is buried with the centerline 10 feet underground.

At this depth the temperature changes will be minimal from smimer to winter, and any changes will be gradual as the surrounding earth must also change temperature.

Therefore there will not he sudden changes in volunie due to thermal contraction which might cause us to go below the ApecIfied minimum level.

b.

Before being used the fuel is brought first to the day tank, then the base tank.

Therefore the fuel will be at the temperature of the diesel building before being used, so the temperature will be controlled at 60-104 F. The heat value of the fuel will then be approximately equal from summer to winter.

The drawing is unclear as to whether 13 ft. is inside or outside diameter, 1

and does not give detailed dimensions of the head area.

For conservatism, it will be assumed that the 13 ft. is an vlltside-]

This conservatively excludes a possible volume of possibly about 100 gallons, depending where on the heads the 60 feet is measmred to.

This conservatism will be used to compensate for internal piping and instr',ients in the tank, which are not otherwise accounted for and will not be further Then Total Volume is:

In the Fuel Oil Storage Tank, the pumps have two suction points, 4 inches and 6 inches above the tank bottom respectively. Valves exter.nal to the tank allow either pump to take a suction from either valve.

This is less accurate than the Fuel Oil Storage T'alnký because there were more assumptions used in this calculation.

By the previous calculation, 1576 gallons are required for 8 ]urrS of diesel oper-ation, Therefore, we have adeqtunte cspncily, By ANSI N195-1976/

ANS 59.51, Section 3, the definition of integral tank is "A fuel oil tank furnished by the diesel generator manufacturer and mounted on the engine, Its capacity may he included in establ1shlng the available day tank capacity as set forth in section 6,1."

The instmiled diesel generator base tank meets this definition and could be tl-ed to expand the day tank capacity, if needed.

By NX-9216-7, the base tank is a 550 gallon tank.

The normal level swil.th function to maintain level 300 to 430 gallons, with a backup switch to start at 190 gallons, The instnlledt design is conservative because it meets the requiremoLns %AthouL consWidering this. addition~al tank, whith iq than availabl, for reservo.

CONCLUSIONS:

1. The Emergency Diesel Generator Fuel Consumption at 2500 KW, with the most conservative allowable API gravity is 197 gallons per hour.
2.

The minimum required level in the Fuel Oil Storage Tank (T-44) is 7

fleis., In. liquid fut.1s, the low heat value is about 1 %

below the hiSh heat value, It must gavsot5 fUr.1s the difference is approximately 10%. Assume that the ther mal efficiency of a liquid-fuel engine is compared to thail of a gas engine where the total heat supplied per blip hr (HHV) was the same in both engineg. Theritnl efficiency of the liquid-fuel enginc might be, for exampie, 30"'D while the gas engine would be 100 better and show 33% thermal efficiency by using the LHV of the fuel.

CALCULATED HEAT VIA I. U P An approximation of high heat value (HI-RV) of liquid fuels can bc calculated from the empirical formulas below:a HHV = 18,640 + 40(APIgr-*10),'Btu per lb for light fuel oil 1-tHV = 18,440 + 40 (API gr-10), Btu per lb for kerosene HHV -

17,645 4-54 (API gr), Btu per lb for heavy, cracked fuel oil,**

Approximate values of both HHV and LHV are shown in Table 4-4 in relation to API gravity of fuel oil. Heat value of most fuel oils, neglecting the heavy oils like Bunker C, is between 19,000 and 19,750 Btu per lb (HHV).

For natural gas, heat value varies witi its source. Most of them will fall in the range of 970 to 1130 (1-H1V),

and 880 to 1020 (LHV) Btu per cu ft at 60'F.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS OF DtEsEL ENGINES Wide var iations in the design of diesel engines. make it difficult to set up specifications to serve as an accurate guide for determining the acceptable characteristics of fuel oil.

There is a dcfinite influence on fuel requirements of such factors ns; engine size and speed; type of combustion chamber (open, pre.combustion, or air cell); degree of turbulence-in the combustion chamber; and type of injec dton system (pressure, and size and ttumber of holes in the nozzle).

important factrs in 5clection of the correct grade of fuel oil, Good opera tir 1 under variable speed and/or load conditions, or with lot, aimbient ait or engine temperature, requires higher qrtane fuel, with lower distillation range, and locwer per cerlrage of sulfur. There is greater tolerance with respect to these characteristics when the same engine is operated under high, continuous load at constant speed, with high coolant tcrnpcrature, or with high ambient air tempera-lure.

Fuel requiramenLs for various operating condirions are pointed out in the fuel specifications for Detroit Diesel engines in Table 4-5. Table 4.6 shows also some rep resentative fuel specifications for other high-speed en I-f frCS.

Specifications for one open combustion-chamber truck diesel require a minimum of 45 cetane, and an allowable maximum of 0,5% sulfur, with 2-D fuel preferred over 1-D. In this engine, I-D fuel is too volatile, and gives poor economy and performance, but can be used.

Straight-run distillate fuel oil is recommended rather than cracked blends.

Fuel economy, or miles per gallon, is affected by the weight, or API gravity, of diesel fuel. Within the rangze of 32 to 40 deg API gravity, a lower number indicating a heavier fuel will provide more power and increased miles per gallon. Conversely, a higher number that identifies lighter fuel will result in lower power and decreased miles per gallon. Some trucking organizations feel that if the fuel has a 40 cetane number minimum, an API gravity of 36 maximum is desirable.

For each API gravity number above 36, engine dynamometer tests indicate approximately 1% lower power and road tests indicate approximately 2% lower milcage. The difference between 32 and 40 APt gravity can make a difference of 150,1, in fuel costs.

MINIMUM ALLOWABLE FUEL OIL STORAGE TANK LEVEL CA-90-023 Add. I A. PURPOSE The purpose of this addendum is to revise calculation CA-90-023 for minimum Diesel Fuel Oil Storage Tank (T-44) level by evaluating whether additional stored fuel is required to address vortexing concerns and the use of the normal lineup suction point for the Diesel Oil Transfer Pump (P-11). These additionai requirements may result in a change to Technical Specification 3.9.B.3.c requiring additional fuel to be stored in tank T-44 to meet the minimum 7 day supply for 1 EDG at full load (2500 kW).

in addition, the day tank / base tank combination fuel storage capacity will be reevaluated to ensure that a minimum fuel capacity for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of full load (2500 kWV) operation of an EDG remains available with day tank vortexing concerns being addressed. This 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> capacity requirement is discussed in Ref. 8.

B. METHODOLOGY Critical submergence determines the amount of fluid required above an intake such that air entraining vortexing of the fluid is unlikely to occur. Critical submergence of the fuel oil pump suctions for T-44 and the day tanks will be determined in accordance with the guidance contained in Input 2. These calculated critical submergence values will then be amended by information extracted from Input 3 to account for the differences between water, the basis for the critical submergence calculation, and fuel oil. The amended values of critical submergence will then be combined with the unusable fuel volumes contained below the fuel pump suction points, the required quantity of fuel for consumption by the EDG at full load (2500 kW), and the quantities for level instrument and tank volume inaccuracies. These values were previously determined in the CA 90-023 and will be reused in this addendum to establish the revised minimum allowable fuel oil storage levels. These revised minimum levels may result in additional stored fuel being required to avoid vortexing at the suctions of the fuel pumps while maintaining the required volume of fuel oil available for consumption. The unusable volume in tank T-44 will also be revised based on a more conservative suction point within the tank.

3 of 14 C. ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

1. Diesel Oil Storage Tank (T-44) capacity remains sufficient to hold the revised 7 day supply of fuel for 1 EDG at full load (2500 kW) with spare capacity for an additional 16,000 gallons of fuel, approximately 2 tanker loads, whiie maintaining the level below the nominal tank T-44 HI Level alarm point. This ensures adequate tank capacity for fuel additions and transfers without violating the revised 7 day supply requirement or causing nuisance alarms during fuel oil inventory control activities.
2. The capacities of the Day Tank / Base Tank combinations remain Z'ufficient to hold the revised 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> supply of fuel for the respective EDG at full load (2500 kW).

  1. 2 fuel oil behaves substantially the same as a mix of #1 and #2 fuel oil in terms of flow characteristics. Therefore, the method of arriving at the critical submergence for Monticello's fuel oil mix of #1 and #2 fuel oil from the.

calculation for critical submergence in water, the data from the Alden Research Labs report, and the determination of a 20 percent addition for the differences between fuel oil and water, as discussed in section F.2, is comnervative.

The foot valve / strainer combinations at the bottom of suction piping in tank T-44 provide no vortex suppressing function and intake levels are at the level of the installed 3 inch sleeve which are 4 and 6 inches from the bottom of the tank per Ref. 2.

Diesel Oil Transfer Pump (P-11) suction remains lined up to the suction source located 6 inches from the bottom of tank T-44, it's normal suction scurce (Ref.

1,2,11, 12, 13).

The 1 inch suction pipe in the day tanks is assumed to be schedule 80, carbon steel with an inside diameter of.957 inches.

The primary fuel transfer pump flow rate of 10 gpm is adequate to ensure only one of the fuel transfer pumps is operating to maintain base tank level, (i.e. 10 gpm = 600 gph > 197 gph burn rate).

F. ANALYSIS

1. Critical Submergence Formula A literature search was conducted to establish the correct inputs to the calculation of minimum suction submergence to prevent vortexing. Input 2, the Water Power article, provides two equations relating the Submergence Froude Number, a function of pipe geometry and fluid velocity, to the critical submergence required to prevent vortexing in water. One of the equations is applicable to situations in which vortex suppression devices are present. The other equation, which provides a more conservative result in terms of critical

)( U II]

5 of 14 submergence, is applicable to situations where no vortex suppression devices are present. The EDG day tanks have open pipe intakes with no vortex suppression devices present and it has been assumed that the foot valve I strainer combinations on the Tank T-44 suctions provide no vortex suppression.

Therefore, the more conservative formula, which is applicable to situations without vortex suppression devices, will be used throughout this calculation as follows:

sid > I + Submergence Froude number and Submergence Froude number = v/ /(g*d) where s = the fluid depth above the pipe centerline (ft) d = the inside diameter of the suction pipe (ft) v = the pipe inlet velocity (ft/sec) g = acceleration due to gravity (32.2 ft/sec2)

Rewriting the equation to solve for submergence, s, yields:

s > d * ( 1 + Submergence Froude number) or s> d+v* v(d/g)

2. Critical Submergence for Variable Fluid Properties.

A literature search was conducted to determine if the variable fluid properties of fuel oil and water, and their impact on vortex formation, had been studied. Input 3, the Alden Research Labs report, was located and a copy was requested and obtained from Northeast Utilities. This report contains data which indicates that there are significant differences in the formation of vortexes between #2 fuel oil and water under a given set of circumstances.

Data points were extracted from this report and a 2 d order curve fit was performed using Microsoft Excel to determine the effects of vortexing across a range of flows. The resultant data, summarized in Attachment 3, indicates that the difference in critical submergence to prevent vortexing between fuel and water inceases with flow under a given set of.,nditions. At a flow rate of 30 gpm, the critical submergence to prevent vortexing in #2 fuel oil was determined to approach 115% of that required to prevent vortexing in water under the same conditions.

Using the above data as a basis, a 20 percent addition to the critical submergence calculated for water will be used in the remainder of this 25A i

  1. 2 fuel oil as utilized at Monticello.
3. Tank T-44 Application of Critical Submergence Formula in tank T-44, the Diesel Oil Transfer Pump (P-11) withdrawal flow rate of 26 gpm is converted to a velocity, v, as follows:

v = Volumetric Flow/Area Calculate Volumetric Flow Volumetric Flow = 26 gal/min

  • 0. 1337 ft3/gal
  • 1 min / 60 sec = 0.058 ftIsec The suction piping is 1.5 inch, schedule 80, carbon steel with an inside diameter of 1.50 inches per Ref. 1, 4, and 5. The area of the pipe is calculated as follows:

Area = 7f*d 2/4 = z*(1. 5 in / 12 in/ft)2 /4 Area = 0.012 ft2 Solving for velocity, v, in tank T-44 yields:

v = Volumetric Flow/Area v = 0.058 ft/sec/0.012 ft' = 4.8 ftlsec Solve for submergence, s, in tank T-44 as follows:

s > d +v* (d/g) s > (1.5 in/12 in/ft)+

4.8 ft/sec* V(1. 5 in / 12 inlft) /(32.2ft/sec 2))

s > 0.42 ft

  • 12 in/ft = 5.0 in

The result is that if the fluid were water, a minimum submergence of 5 inches would be required to prevent vortexing. This value must be further amended, as described in section 2 above, to account for the differences between water and fuel oil as follows:

s > 5.0 inches H20

  • 1.2 inches Fuel Oil inch H20 s > 6.0 inches Fuel Oil A minimum submergence of 6 inches will be used to address vortexing concerns in tank T-44.
4. -etarmination of Tank T"-44 Minimum Level The Diesel Oil Transfer Pump suction is normally lined LIp to a suction source which is located 6 inches from the bottom of the tank. The original calculation assumed that this suction would be swapped over tc an alternate suction located 4 inches from the bottcm of the tank. This is considered non-conservative and the normal suction, located 6 inches from the bottom, will be considered as being in use for further calculation in this addendum.

Using the suction located 6 inches from the tank bottom, the bottom 6 inches of fuel is unusable, this was previously considered to be the bottom 4 inches as describld in the previous paragraph. Furthermore, due to minimum submergence considerations detailed in Section 3, the fuel between 6 and 12 inches from the bottom is considered unusable. From Ref. 6, the fuel contained below 12 inches in tank T-44 is 2102 gallons.

From the original calculation, Minimum Fuel Required is calculated as foliows:

Min Fuel Req'd = Fuel Consumed + Unusable Fuel +

Total Error Substituting the new Unusable Fuel volume determined above yields:

Min Fuel Req'd = 33,096 + 2102 + 763 gallons Min Fuel Req'd = 35,961 gallons 7

6. The currently specified minimum level in T-44 is 88 inches or 34,505 gallons.

A revised T-44 level of 91 inches would provide a capacity of 35,940 gallons of fuel which is inadequate. A revised T-44 level of 92 inches provides a capacity of 36,416 inches which is adequate and provides a margin of 455 gallons.

For convenience, a new minimum level of 8 feet (96 inches) or 38,307 gallons is recommended. This level would provide a margin of approximately 2350 gallons, or approximately 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> of EDG operation at full load (2500 kVV), over the calculated minimum stored fuel requirement.

This level is acceptable as the tank has ample capacity for an additional 2 tanker loads of fuel, approximately 16,000 gallons, allowing room for fuel additions and transfers without violating the revised minimum level or causing nuisance HI Level alarms during these activities.

5. Day Tank Application of Critical Submergence Formula In the Day Tanks, the Fuel Oil Transfer Pump withdrawal flow rate of 10 gpm is converted to a velocity, v, as follows:

Volumetric Flow = 10 gal/min*. 1337 ft3/gal*l mn / 60 sec Volumetric Flow = 0.0223 ft/sec The suction piping is 1 inch, and has been assumed to be schedule 80, carbon steel with an inside diameter of 0.957 inches per Ref. 1, 4, and 5.

The area of the pipe is calculated as follows:

Area = 7*c2/4 = r;*(0.957 in / 12 in/ft)2/4 = 0.005 ft The solution for velocity, v, in the day tanks is:

v = Volumetric Flow/Area v = 0. 0223 ft/sec / 0. 005 ft2 = 4.46 ft/sec Solve for submergence, s, in the day tanks as follows:

s > d +v*4d/g)

9 of 14 S > (0. 957 in / 12 inlft)+ 4.46 ft/sec

  • V(0. 957 in / 12 inlft) I (32.2 ft/sec2))

s > 0.302 ft

  • 12 in/ft = 3.6 in The result is that if the fluid were water, a minimum submergence of 3.6 inches would be required to prevent vortexing. This value must be further amended, as described in Section 2 above, to account for the differences between water and fuel oil as follows:

s > 3.6 inches H 20

  • 1.2 inches Fuel Oil / inch H20 s > 4.3 inches Fuel Oil A minimum submergence of 4.5 inches will be used to address vortexing concerns in the day tanks.
6. Confirmation of Day Tank / Base Tank Combination Capacity The Fuel Oil Transfer Pumps draw their suction fiom a source which is located 6 inches from the bottom of the day tanks (Ref. 3). Using these suction points, the bottom 6 inches of fuel is unusable. Due to minimum submergence considerations detailed in Section 5, the fuel between 6 and 10.5 inches from the bottom of the tanks will be considered unusable. In addition to the unusable fuel in the bottom of the tank, the volume contained in the tank above the bottom of the overflow, which is located 5.5 inches from the top, is not capable of holding fuel.

The tank capacities were determined as follows in the CA-90-023:

Tank Diameter = 71.625 inches Volume of cylindrical portion of tank = 1465 gal Volume of ellipsoidal portion of tank = 279 gal Total tank volume = 1744 gal Overflow Unus&ble Volume = 57 gallons Tank Volume Error (2%) = 35 gallons

, , sE Ii

Ido 10 of 14 To find the total amount of unusable fuel in the bottom of the tank, the ratio of each portion below the 10.5 inch level must be calculated in accordance with Input 4 as follows:

Find a, the ratio of Tank Level to Tank Diameter a= Tank Level/ Tank Diameter a= 10.5 in/ 71.625 in a = O.147 Find the ratio, p, of unusable fuel to total volume in the cylindrical portion of the tanks. Note that trigonometric functions are in radians rather than degrees.

p = 1 + (2*(2a-1) -a(1-a))) /)r-cos-(2a-1)/1r p 1 + (2*(2*(0.147)-1)výO.147*(1-0.147)))/g

UF, = Cylindrical volume

  • p UF, = 1465 gallons
  • 0.091 = 133.3 gallons Find the ratio, p2, of unusable fuel to total volume in the ellipsoidal portion of the tanks.

p2 = a*(.!-2a) p2 = (0.147)2 * (3 - 2

  • O.147) p2 = 0.059

,0 9AIii

11 of 14 Unusable fuel, UF2, in the bottom of the ellipsoidal portion of the tanks is as follows:

UF2 = Ellipsoidal volume

  • p2 UF2 = 279 gallons
  • 0.059 = 16.5 gallons Total Unusable fuel, UFr, in the bottom of the tank is as follows:

UFr = UF1, UF2 UFr = 133.3 gallons + 16.5 gallons = 149.8 gallons Total Unusable fuel in the bottom of the tanks will be considered to be 150 gallons.

The usable volume that is below the overflow and above the unusable fuel in the bottom of the tanks after taking into account the assumed 2% tank volume inaccuracy, as stated in the original calculation, is as follows:

Usable Volume = Total Volume - Overflow Unusable Volume - Unusable Fuel - Tank Volume Error Usable Volume = 1744 150 - 35 = 1502 gallons The CA-90-023 states that the burn rate of an EDG is 1576 gallons in an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> period of full load (2500 kW) operation. Also, per Ref. 8, fuel volume contained in the base tank is available to supplement the capacity of the day tank to provide the required fuel for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of full load (2500 kW) EDG operation. Per Ref. 9, the normal level in the base tank is maintained at a nominal 325 gallons by the primary fuel transfer pump. If this pump were to fail, the secondary pump would maintain the level at a nominal 190 gallons. Reference 10 has taken credit for a minimum of 150 gallons of the base tank capacity as a supplement to the o~i in the day tank to ensure EDG operability. If fuel level in the day tank is noted to be below 190 gallons while the EDG is in operation, investigation of the system is required to evaluate and maintain continued EDG operability.

The resultant fuel volume combination in the worst case is as follows:

Combination Fuel Volume = Day Tank Volume + Min. Base Tank Volume Combination Fuel Volume = 1502 + 150 gallons = 1652 gallons.

12 of 14 This analysis supports the USAR statement that the EDG day tank I base tank combinations are sized sufficiently to provide an 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> supply of fuel to the respective EDG at full load (2500 kW) after addressing day tank vortexing concerns.

G. CONCLUSIONS

1. Technical Specification 3.9.B.3.c should be revised to indicate 38,300 gallons, the equivalent of 8 feet of fuel oil, in lieu of the current 34,500 gallons. This change will address vortexing concerns, a non-conseratism in the assumed suction source location for the Diesel Oil Transfer Pump, and will provide additional margin to the calculated value of minimum required fuel. This margin will be available for future use in mitigating any minor setpoint methodology issues which may be raised.
2. The day tank / base tank combinations are sized sufficiently to supply the respective EDG for 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> of full load (2500 kW) operation with the revised storage requirements which address vortexing concerns in the day tanks.

Vortices at intakes conventional sumps By Dr. Y. R. Reddy* and J. A. Pickford*

This article describes the development of a design criterion to avoid vortices in pump sumps and at intakes.i from reservoirs THE FUNCTION of an intake is to convey water from a reservoir into the penstock in a hydroelectric power plant or to supply water from a sump to a pump.

If the depth of water above the intake is low air entraining vortices develop, and these adversely affect the efficiency of the hydraulic machinery by reducing flow rate and by giving extra swirl to the fluid, in addition to causing vibration and noise.

In shallow reservoirs wave action develops an unstable boundary layer (depending on the wave length and celerity) and this is generally responsible for the change in vorticity which leads to the formation of air-entraining The largest single factor contribu'ting to vortex forma ion in pump inlets is the flow patter~a within the sump, which in turn is governed by the entry conditions. All the fig. 1. D0flnilion s0etch fa n infae

'orticity responsible for vortex formation is generated at a flow boundary and this then diffuses into the flow.

Vortices also develop as a result of boundary disconti-f(s, d.,,. p, h, ;., g)=0 (I) uities, which is the main reason for different critical ubmergences for the same intake diameter and velocity, where s is submergence above the intake; dis the diameter:

ABSTRACT NortheaAt Utilitics (NU) is using a calculated pump submergence requimrment of I V (24,5" oil depth) to allviae possible vortex fomalon within a R2 diesel fuel oil storage tank at the Millstone Nuclear Power Station.

Due to the limited size of the tank and fuel volume requireirA,*thi'ere is a need to determine the o61 level at which air-drawing free surfaýc vortices form for various likely operating flows. From this data, one can determine the actual required aubniergmco of the pump suction bowl and =cutely calculate how much fuel oil is available for use In the storage tank.

Mdcn Research Laboratory, Inc, (ARL) was contracted by NU to construct and tcst a 1:1 geometric scale model to simulate a portion of the #2 diestl fitel oil storage tank. The study Involved evaluati.g the vortex formation around the oi tank pump as well as determining the depth at which air entraining vortices form for various flows.

Data indicated that at the maximum pump flow of 31.6 gpm, the oil level could be lowered to 14.7" abov-the bottom of the tank before ai Ingestion occurred. At an oil level of 14,25* above the, botlo off h tank and a flow of 31.6 gpm, the pump would ingest air. The wifhdrwal flow we* had to be red wedx to 24 gpm to elnit ai enrairnment into the pump at this oil l&vel. Data rezorded for oil levels of 14.06%, 13.88", and 13,75" indicated maximum flows without air entrainment were approximately 19 gpm, 15.5 gpm, and 11.9 gpm, respectively. These data allowed a plot of the maximum air free flow verms the oil level In the tank to be constructed, see Figure 10. T& plot can be uszd to determinl the depLh at which air ingestion forns A--*us flows.

The plot indicates that =A: the oil level drops below 14.7", the flow will have to be reduced below 31.6 gpm to elimbnate air ingestion.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

At the request of Northeast Utilities (NU), a hydraulic model of a #2 diesel fuel oil storage tank for the Millstone Nuclear Power Stationi was constructed and tested at the Alden Research Laboratory, Inc. (ARL). The objective of the testing was to determine the fluid level at which fre= surface vortices form for various likely operating flows, and to derive simple modificatioms which would allow lower operating levels without the formation of vortices, particularly air entraining vortices [1].

The actual tank is a 25,000 gallon horizontal tank (10 ft-6' diameter x 40 ft-9" long) In which two 6 stage vertical turbine pumps are mounted. The pumps arc located 23 ft-91 and 19 ft-9" from the end of the cylindrical section of the t*. ik. A suction bowl, shown in Figure 2, is attached to Sthe bottom of each purop with a cearance of 12' to the bottom of the tank. The #2 diesel fuel oil is remrnovcd from the tank via either one of the two v.-rtical pumps with flow approaching from both sides of the tank. Plan and eand views of the #2 diesel fuel oil storage tank axe shown in Figure 1.

2.0 MODEL SIMILXTUDE The model was comtructed with a geometric scale of 1:1 with the following exceptions. ".Ihe curved bottom of the tank was only modeled to a height of 11.3%, from which Plat sides were extended vertkaly..Also, the section of the modeled tank was 8 ft long instead of 40 ft-9'. The basis for these excptons are the assumptions that mortices occur at lower fluid levels and that any differences caused by the absence of this curvature would be negligible. Also, the flow distribution is uniform away from the Vimp where the modeled tank began and flow in the model was uniformly introduced with he help of a flow straightening device. With the same flow scale of 1:1 and using tue same liquid (#2 fuel oil) as In the Millstone oil storage tank, dynamic 5

3.0 MODEL DESCRIPfION Using the followlrg amsumptions, only a poril on of the fuel storage tank was modeled:

I.

An 8 ft long tank would be adequate to provide uniiform flow.

2.

Vortexing is a problem at decreasing Levls so the full diameter of thc tank is not requirod.

3.

Vertical sides versus curved sides have no effect on flow distribution at the pump.

The model was constructed out of stel plato to a geometric scale of 1:1 with respect to the cun-Au of the acwal fd and sir mulated a portion of the actual oil tank approximately 8 ft long, 6 ft wide, and 5.5 ft deep. The model included the curved bottom of the oil tank to a height of approximately 11.3%, from which point walls were extended vertically. The model is depicted in Figure 3. Acrylic windows were installed at various locadions of the tank to allow for flow visualization. The flow, which was introduced at the ends of the model, passed through flow stralghtning devices to producc uniform inflow from bMth ends of the tank.

Whle the oil surfao will be lowered continuously in the actual oil tank as the fuel is withdrawn, the rate of surface drop is slow due to the Large surface area of the tank and the low withdrawal flow. i-ence, the decrease in surface with time does not influence flow pattmrs at a given surface level, and testing at steady fluid levels reasonably simulated actual flow conditions In the tanic.

A recirculating flow loop was constructed for this purpose. A laboratory pump was used to withdraw flow out of the model tank through a simulated pump suction pipe, with an attached JUL-29-98 WED 02:31 Ph U3 DESIGN ENGINEERING FAX NO. 860 440 2140 P. 99 0 PSz iF actual p-amp sucion bowl supplied by NU.

Vortex types are usually Identified In tflt m by visual obsereation w.the edp of dye h-acem, cotton balls, ctr. Due to thz fact that the test ffuid is red in colof and air drawing vorticzs could not csily be seen, an air trap was developed to deatmine if any air was being drawn into the pump, see Figurcs 8 and 9. Video documentation of all vortex activity was obtained, as nicerary.

6.1 PRUMff'ARY TEST D.ue to *viwnment2 and health concerns, preliminary testing of the model was conducted with watac as thle test fl,id. Testing with water would give an indication at what fluid level and flow rate vortices may start to form in the test tank. This would also reduce the amount time the #2 fuel oil would have to be stored in th test tank. With water, vortex formation was documented strting at afig*d bvght of 30' and suctfion rates of 5.5 gpm and 31.6 gp". The fluid levol vas tih lowered in the mx*el until vortex activity, particutlary air-drawing vortices, were observed.

Once air-drawing vartizo wwxec o&served at a paricular fluid level, tlh flow rate was rcduccd until the air ingestion was eliminated.

6-2 FINAL TEST Final documentation testing was conducted using the #2 diesel fin oil as the test fluid with a stating depth slighay higher than the level at which air ingestion occurred with the water tasts to eliminate unnecessary tests, and rwith suction flows of 5.5 gpmr and 31.6 gpm. Thfe two flows were chosen since 5.5 gpm is the minimum safe flow for continuous operation of the pump and 31.6 gpm is the maximum allowable flow for this pump. As with the prelminary testing, the fluid level Ys lowered In the model until vortex activity, particularly air-drawing vortloes, were obscved. Once adr-drawing vortices vwte observed and categorlzcd at a particular fluid leve, the flow rate was reduced until tho air ingestion was eliminated.

FAX NO. 880 440 2140 (15.51 and hMg'er) was a weak intemttet surtfe dimple, Typ 2 vortex. This strength was also Sordned ad confirmed by dye taing intemit.ntaly during testN with wat'r, wlich were expected to yied conrz-tve resu1mI in vortax fob to when complred to fho B2 fuel ol for the following reason. Lower vio&=s and wxtfae, tension.for= assdocintd with water vcxsus higher comparable forces assodatcd with #2 fuel oil cculd infl~unce the formation and strength of vortices 13).

To establlih Ow, low level that could be achieved withou ingesting a eries of tesU at difTfzen4 £ows wee cdted which the tank l.ve vms lowervd at a given flow until air was ingested. Data from these tests, tmsae.td in Figure 10 a-nd Table. 2, determined that for the #2 oil, air in,"eston can be exp,-cted at a level of 14.7' at the maximum design flow of 31.6 gpm, and at a lcvel of 13.6* at the lowest flow of 5.5 gpm. The graph indicates that pretininary tests with water as the test floid were slightly non-conservativo, probably duc to the fact that as the Raynolds number decreated (given the oil's higher viwcosty), the head loes through the pump suction bowl screen incrmA and, therefore, reduced the actual oil level Inside the pump suction bowL Hence, for this particular configuration, air entraining vortics occurred at -.lightly Migher liquid heights in tho tank with oil than with water.

Teat rezults are listed in Table 1 and data sheets are proyided in Appendix B.

8.0 CONCLUSION

S The study of the #~2 fuel oil 3torage tank at the Milislono Nuclear Powver Station using, a 1:1 geometric 9ca-le liydraulic utodel1 provided the following eoriwluslons:

'Teats at liquid Ilevels in the rerrn&1 operating range (15.5" and higber) Showed no objectiomuble vortices.

No 2fr kgertlon oeourcd for the 5.5 gprn wit aall fay 611 above lewAi 13.6".

-I-At 31.6 gpm withdrawal, there %am no air ingt-ion above oil level 14.7'.

Teat dzta indicate that wvith ani oil level in thr tank of 14.70 or highcr, a withdrawal flow of 31.6 gpm can le achieved without ai nesin ee Fig=r 10, Onice the C11 level drops below 14.7", the flaw wvill have to Ie reduced to nuipioailo air ltugctlon.

[three (3)] engine starts without any assistance from the air compressors when maintained at greater than or equal to 165 psig.

Insert for page 205 The Surveillance Requirement for diesel generator starting air receivers ensures that, without the aid of the refill compressors, sufficient air start capacity for each diesel generator is available. The system design requirements provide [power to start each diesel generator engine from two independent air starting systems. Each system consist of a pair of compressed air starting motors, an air dryer, strainer, air line lubricator, and related storage tanks, that provide 100 percent redundancy for each diesel generator's starting air system. Starting at a nominal pressure of 200 psig, each air starting system has adequate capacity to start its associated diesel generator five times without recharging. The limit of 165 psig provides]

minimum air pressure to support twe [three DG] engine starts, from each of the two starting air receivers associated with each diesel generator, without recharging[, this provides for a total of six (6) starts for the associated diesel generator.]. The monthly surveillance requirement frequency for verifying the pressure in each starting air receiver takes into account the capacity, capability, redundancy, and diversity of the AC sources and other indications available in the control room, including alarms, to alert the operator to below normal air start pressure.

Bases 3.9:

The general objective is to assure an adequate supply of power with at least one active and one standby source of power available for operation of equipment required for a safe plant shutdown, to maintain the plant in a safe shutdown condition, and to operate the required engineered safeguards equipment following an accident.

AC for shutdown requirements and operation of engineered safeguards equipment can be provided by either of the two standby sources of power (the diesel generators) or any of the three active sources of power (No. 1 R, No. 2R, or No. 1AR transformers). Refer to Section 8 of the USAR.

To provide for maintenance and repair of equipment and still have redundancy of power sources, the requirement of one active and one standby source of power was established. The plant's main generator is not given credit as a source since it is not available during shutdown.

The plant 250 V dc power is supplied by two batteries. Most station 250 V loads are supplied by the original station 250 V battery. A new 250 V battery has been installed for HPCI loads and may be used for other station loads in the future. Each battery is maintained fully charged by two associated chargers which also supply the normal dc requirements with the batteries as a standby source during emergency conditions. The plant 125 V dc power is normally supplied by two batteries, each with an associated charger. Backup chargers are available.

The minimum diesel fuel supply of 38,300 gallons will supply one diesel generator for a minimum of seven days of full load (2500 KW) operation. Actual fuel consumption during this period would be 33,096 gallons, but the minimum tank level has been established at the higher 38,300 gallon value to allow for instrument inaccuracy, pump suction vortexing, tank volume uncertainties, and the location of the suction piping within the tank. Additional diesel fuel can normally be obtained within a few hours. Maintaining at least 7 days supply is therefore conservative.

Each diesel generator starting air receivers have the capability of providing a minimum of at least three (3) engine starts without any assistance from the air compressors when maintained at greater than or equal to 165 psig. If one starting air receiver is below its required pressure of 165 psig, restore both starting air receivers pressure to _> 165 psig within 7 days. The 7 days to restore pressure to Ž_ 165 psig is acceptable because there is sufficient air pressure to start the associated diesel generator a minimum of three (3) times. If the action cannot be performed within 7 days, declare the associated diesel generator inoperable. With both diesel generator starting air receivers pressure < 165 psig but _ 125 psig, restore one starting air receiver to _> 165 psig and enter TS LCO 3.9.B.3.c.1, or restore both starting air receivers pressure to _ 165 psig within 48 hours5.555556e-4 days <br />0.0133 hours <br />7.936508e-5 weeks <br />1.8264e-5 months <br />.

If both starting air receivers for the same diesel generator are below 125 psig, immediately declare the associated diesel generator inoperable.

In the normal mode of operation, power is available from the offsite sources. One diesel may be allowed out of service based on the availability of offsite power provided that the remaining diesel generator is demonstrated to be operable within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

Thus, though one diesel generator is temporarily out of service, the offsite sources are available, as well as the remaining diesel generator. Based on a monthly testing period (Specification 4.9),

the seven day repair period is justified. (1)

Bases 4.9:

The monthly test of the diesel generator is conducted to check for equipment failures and deterioration. Testing is conducted up to equilibrium operating conditions to demonstrate proper operation at these conditions. The diesel will be manually started, synchronized to the bus and load picked up. It is expected that the diesel generator will be run for one to two hours. Diesel generator experience at other generating stations indicates that the testing frequency is adequate to assure a high reliability of operation should the system be required.

In addition, during the test when the generator is synchronized to the bus it is also synchronized to the offsite power source and thus not completely independent of this source. To maintain the maximum amount of independence, a thirty day testing interval is also desirable.

The Surveillance Requirement for diesel generator starting air receivers ensures that, without the aid of the refill compressors, sufficient air start capacity for each diesel generator is available. The system design requirements provide power to start each diesel generator engine from two independent air starting systems. Each system consists of a pair of compressed air starting motors, an air dryer, strainer, air line lubricator, and related storage tanks that provide 100 percent redundancy for each diesel generator's starting air system. Starting at a nominal pressure of 200 psig, each air starting system has adequate capacity to start its associated diesel generator five times without recharging. The limit of 165 psig provides minimum air pressure to support three diesel generator engine starts, from each of the two starting air receivers associated with each diesel generator, without recharging, this provides for a total of six (6) starts for the associated diesel generator. The monthly surveillance requirement frequency for verifying the pressure in each starting air receiver takes into account the capacity, capability, redundancy, and diversity of the AC sources and other indications available in the control room, including alarms, to alert the operator to below normal air start pressure. During the monthly load test of the diesel generators, the diesel fuel oil transfer pump and diesel oil service pump will be operated. A sample of diesel fuel will be taken monthly to assure that the quality remains high.

The test of the emergency diesel generator during the refueling outage will be more comprehensive in that it will functionally test the system, i.e., it will check diesel starting and closure of diesel breaker and sequencing of loads on the diesel. The diesel will be started by simulation of a loss of coolant accident. In addition, an undervoltage condition will be imposed to simulate a loss of offsite power. The timing sequence will be checked to assure proper loading in the time required. The only load on the diesel is that due to friction and windage and a small amount of bypass flow on each pump. Periodic tests between refueling outage check the diesel to run at full load and the pumps to deliver full flow. Periodic testing of the various components plus a functional test at a refueling interval are sufficient to maintain adequate reliability.

Although station batteries will deteriorate with time, utility experience indicates there is almost no possibility of precipitous failure. The type of surveillance described in this specification is that which has been demonstrated over the years to provide an indication of a cell becoming irregular or unserviceable long before it becomes a failure.

In addition, the checks described also provide adequate indication that the batteries have the specified ampere-hour capability.
