Bases The auxiliary electrical power systems are designed to supply the required Engineered Safeguards loads in one unit and safe shutdown loads of the other two units and are so arranged. that no single contingency can inactivate enough engineered safety features to jeopardize plant safety.
These systems were designed to meet the following criteria:

UNITS 1, 2 & 3 3.7-8 Amendment No.
182(Unit 1)

182(Unit 2)
Amendment No.
179(Unit 3)
"Alternate power systems shall be provided and designed with adequate independency, redundancy, capacity and testability to permit the functions required of the engineered safety features of each unit."'
The auxiliary power system meets the above criteria and the intent of Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.
The adequacies of the AC and DC systems are discussed below as are the bases for permitting degraded conditions for AC power.
Capacity of AC Systems The 4kV auxiliaries of two units in hot shutdown (6.2MVa each) plus the auxiliaries of the one unit with a LOCA (7.8Na) require a total AC power capacity of 20.2 tmVa.
The continuous AC power capacity available from the on-site power systems (Keowee Hydro Units) is 22.4 M1Va (limited by transformer CT4) if furnished by the underground circuit or 30 tiVa (limited by CTl, CT2, or CT3) if furnished through the 230kV off-site transmission lines.
Capacity available from the backup 100 kV off-site transmission line (Lee Station Gas Turbine Generator) is 22.4 R'a (limited by CT3).
Thus, the minimum available capacity from any one of the multiple sources of AC power, 22.4 tiVa, is adequate.
The adequacy of the Oconee electrical distribution system voltages has been evaluated.
Under the conservative assumptions of the analysis, it has been established that a single startup transformer should not be shared between two operating units.
In the event a startup transformer becomes inoperable, it effectively causes one onsite emergency power path to the affected unit to become inoperable.
The time framnes for the degraded mode of an inoperable startup transformer are thus consistent with those for an inoperable onsite emergency power path.
Because the preferred mode of unit shutdown is with reactor coolant pumps providing forced circulation and because of the low likelihood of an accident during a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> period, the unit which is being shut don is allowed to share a startup transformer with another unit until the unit is in cold shutdown with loads being powered from the standby buses.
Capacity of DC Systems lNormally, for each unit AC power is rectified and supplies the DC system buses as well as keeping the storage batteries on these buses in a charged state.
Upon loss of this normal AC source of power, each unit's DC auxiliary systems important to reactor safety have adequate stored capacity (ampere-hours) to independently supply their required emergency loads for at least one hour.
One hour is considered to be conservative since there are redundant sources of AC power providing energy to these DC auxiliary systems.
The loss of all AC power to any DC system is ex pected to occur very infrequently, and for very shor t periods of time.
The following tabulation for the service test demonstrates the margin of installed battery charger rating and battery capacity when compared to one hour of operation (a) with AC power (in amps) and (b) without AC 'power (in ampere hours) for each of the three safety related DC systems installed at Oconee:

In the case of the annual discharge test required by Specification~ - 6.10 and the battery performance test (per IEEE Standard 430),
a longer time period of up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is allowed for the required equalizing charge.
In addition to the service test, the battery performance test may be conducted every 5 yea rs (per IEEE standard 450), unless there are signs of degradation.
Degradation is indicated when the battery capacity drops more than 10 percent of rated capacity from its average on previous performance tests, or is below 90 percent of manufacturer's rating. If there is degradation per above de finition, the test should be conducted annually until the battery is replaced or until tests prove the battery is not in a degraded state.
Redundancy of AC Systems There are three 4160 V engineered safety feature switchgear buses per unit.
Each bus can receive power from either of the two 4160 V main feeder buses per unit.
Each feeder bus in turn can receive power from the 230 kV switchyard through the start-up transformers, through the unit auxiliary transformer by backfeeding through the main step-up transformer, or from the 4160 V standby buses. Another unit's start-up transformer serving as an alternate supply can be placed in service in one hour.
Under nornial unit auxiliary power system alignment, the main feeder buses shall be capable of receiving power automatically from:

- 1. The Keowee Unst aligned to the underground, through transformer CT-4, and through both standby buses; and
- 2. The redundant Keowee Unit, aligned through the overhead path; and through the respective Unit's startup transformer.
The standby buses can receive power from the hydro station through the under ground feeder circuit or from a combustion turbine generator at the Lee Steam Station over an isolated 100 kV transmission line. The 230 kV switchyard can receive power from the on-site Keowee hydro station or from several off-site sources via transmission lines which connect the Oconee Station with the Duke Power system power distribution network.
In order to meet the single failure criteria for certain design basis scenarios, both standby buses (for the underground flow path), and both En and E2 breakers (for the overhead path) must be operable for the respective flo path to be considered operable.
Redundancy of DC System A.
125 VDC Instrumentation and Control Power System The 125 YDC Inistrunientation and Control (I&C) Power Svstem consists of two batteries, three battery chargers, and two I&C distribution centers per unit.
All reactc~r protection and engineered safety features loads on this systemr can be powered from either the Unit 1 and Unit 2 or Unit 2 and Unit 3 or Unit 3 and Unit 1 125 %DC I&C distribution centers.
The 125 VDC I C distribution centers are normally supplied from their associated battery and charger.
For one unit, in the event that only one of its bat teries and associated chargers are operable, both I&C distribution centers will be tied together allowing operation of the DC loads from the unit's operable battery and charger.
As shown above, one I&C battery (e.g.,
ICA) can suppEE both I&C distribution centers (e.g., IDCA and IDCB) and their associated panelboard loads.
Also, one of the three battery chargers for each unit cain supply all connected ESF and reactor protection loads.
In order to find and correct a DC ground on the 125 ADC Instrumentation and Control s.stem each unit's DC system must be separated from the other two units.
This is due to the interconnected design of the system. With the backup function disabled the units would be in a degraded mode but would in fact have all of its own DC system available if needed. Each unit's batteries either XCA or XCB is capable of carrying all the 125 VDC Instrumentation and Control loads on that unit.
B.
125 VDC Switching Station Power System There are two essentially independent subsystems each complete with an AC,
DC power supply (battery charger), a battery bank, a battery charger bus, motor control center (distribution panel).
All safety-related equipment and the relay house in which it is located are seismic Category I design. Each sub system provides the necessary DC power to:

ContinuouslyT monitor operations of the protective relaying.

- b.
Isolate Oconee (including Keowee) from all external 230 kV grid faults,
- c. Connect on-site power to Oconee from a Keowee hydro unit or,
- d. Restore off-site power to Oconee from non-faulted portions of the external 230 kV grid.
Provisions are included to manually connect a standbybattery charger to either battery/charger bus.
C.
125 VDC Keowee Station Power System There are essentially two independent physically separated seismic Category I subsystems, each complete with an AC/DC power supply (charger),a battery bank, a battery/charger bus and a DC distribution center. Each subsystem provides the necessary power to automatically or manually start, control and protect one of the hydro units.
An open or short in any one battery, charger, or DC distribution center, cannot cause loss of both hydro units.
The 230 K sources, while expected to have excellent availability, are not under the direct control of the Oconee station and, based on past experience, cannot be assumed to be available at all times.
However,' the operation of the onsite hyd ro-station is under the direct control of the Oconee Station and requires no offsite power to start up.
Therefore, an onsite backup source of auxiliary power is provided in the form of twin hydro-electric turbine generators powered through a co on penstock by water taken fro Lake Keowee. The use of a common penstock is justified on the basis of past hvdro plant experience of the Duke Power Company (since 1919) which indicates that the cumulative need to dewater the penstock can be expected to be limited to about one day a year, principally for inspection, plus perhaps four days every tenth year.
Operation with one Keowee Hydro unit out of service for periods less than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is permitted. The operability of the remaining Keowee hydro unit is verified within one hour by starting the unit and energizing the standby buses through the underground feeder circuit. This action is repeated once every eight hours thereafter until the Keowee hyd ro unit is restored to service and will provide additional assurance of the operability of the remaining unit.
Provisions have been established for those conditions in which long term pre ventative maintenance of a Keowee Hydro unit are necessary.
The primary long term maintenance items are expected to be hydro turbine runner and discharge ring welding repairs which are estimated to be necessary every six to eight years. Also, generator thrust and guide bearing replacements will be necessary.
Other items which manifest as failures are expected to be extremely rare and could possibly be performed during the permitted maintenance periods.
Time periods of up to 45 days for each Keowee Hydro unit are permitted every three years.
During these outages the remaining Keowee Hydro unit will be verified to be operable within one hour and weekly thereafter by starting the unit and energizing the underground feeder circuit to CT-4. Credit can be taken for the operability of the SK and S breakers per the routine surveil lance test.
The remaining Keowee hydro unit will also be available through OCONEE - UNITS 1, 2 & 3 3.7-12 Amendment No.

the overhead transmission path and will not be used for system peaking.
Addi tionally, the standby buses will be energized continuously by one of the Lee gas turbines through the 100 kV transmission circuits.
This transmission circuit would be electrically separated from the system grid and all off-site non-safety-related loads.
This arrangement provides a high degree of reliability for the emergency power systems.
Operation with both Keowee Hydro units out of service is permitted for planned or unplanned outages for periods of 72 or 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> respectively.
Planned outages are necessary for the inspection of common underwater areas such as the penstock and to enable the removal of one Keowee unit from service.
This would be a controlled evolution in which the availability and condition of the offsite grid, startup transformers and weather would be evaluated and a Lee gas turbine would be placed in operation on the isolated 100 kV transmission line prior to commencement of the outage.
A time period of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for unplanned outages of both Keowee unit s is accept able since a Lee gas turbine will be started within one hour andwill energize the standby buses through the dedicated 100 kV transmission line.
This period of time is reasonable to determine and rectify the situation which caused the loss of both Keowee units.
If the overhead power path from Keowee is inoperable for more than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> due to an extended outage of the Keowee main step-up transformer, both Keowee Auxiliary Transformers (IX and 2X), or Keowee Backup Auxiliary Transformer (CX),
operation is permitted provided that certain actions are taken to ensure the quick availability of emergency power.
These actions include:
continuous energization of the standby buses by a Lee gas turbine through the 100kV transmission circuits; connection of a Keowee unit to the underground feeder path and periodic verification of its operability; and, availability of the remaining Keowee unit to the underground feeder path.
Operation in this mode is permitted for a maximum of 28 days, which allows a reasonable period of time to remove the existing transformer and install a replacement.
In the event that none of the sources of off-site power are available and it is considered important to continue to maintain an Oconee reactor critical or return it to criticality from a hot shutdown condition, one of the Lee gas turbines can be made available as an additional backup source of power, thus assuring continued availability as an auxiliary power to perform an orderly shutdown of a unit should a problem develop requiring shutdown of both hydro units.
The power system of the Keowee Hydro station is designed to allow the alignment of each of the two units to the Oconee emergency.power systems through either the underground feeder or the overhead path via the main step-up transformer.
During an emergency start one of the Keowee units will be aligned to the underground feeder and the other to the overhead path.
Each Keowee unit's 600VAC auxiliaries are powered from the unit's generator through a 750KX'A auxiliary transformer. Each auxiliary transformer is capable of handling auxiliary loads of both units.
Unit's auxiliaries can be aligned to receive power from either transformer by a manual transfer capability at the-load center 'level.
A backup 750KVA auxiliary transformer (CX) is provided and powered from Oconee 4KV switchgear ITC through an underground feeder.

Transformer CX is capable of backing up one or both units auxiliary transformers.
Each Keowee unit has a generation capacity of 87.5 MVA and the main step-up transformer is rated for 230 M1VA.
This power capacity exceeds the Oconee emergency power requirements.
Emergency Power Switching Logic Circuits The Emergency Power Switching Logic (EPSL) in conjunction with its associated circuits, is designed with sufficient redundancy to assure that power is supplied to the unit Main Feeder Buses and, hence, to the unit's essential loads, under accident conditions.
The logic system monitors the normal and emergency power sources and, upon loss of the normal power source (the unit auxiliary transformer), the Logic will seek an alternate source of power.
Operation of the unit with certain circuits or channelsiof the EPSL inoperable for test or maintenance is permitted for periods of up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, provided that the inoperable circuits/channels are in only one portion, or functional unit, of the EPSL and provided that a sufficient number of circuits/channels in the affected functional unit remain operable such that the functional unit does not lose its ability to perform its designed safety function. These provisions ensure that only one portion of the EPSf. is degraded at a time-for test or maintenance on the EPSL and that the affected portion remains operable although degraded.
Emergency poer sster components (transformers, buses, eowee Hdro Units, etc.) whici1 become inoperable for testing or maintenance cause their associate circuitry (functional units) of the EPSL to become ineffective. Therefore, the operabilit of these associated functional units is irrelevant and not required.
In these cases the controlling Technical Specification for the LCO will be the one associated with the inoperability of the emergency power stem component(sA However, all other functional units unaffected by the inoperability ofthe emergency power system component(s) must meet the requirements of Table 3.7-1 to ensure the operability of the remaining emergency power system.
In the event a 125 VDC instrumentation and control power panelboard becomes inoperable (for planned or unplanned reasons) as allowed by Technical Speci fication 3.7.2(e) (4), circuits or channels of more than one functional unit of EPSL may become inoperable.
In this case, continued operation is allowed under the LCO of T.S. 3.7.2(e) (4), provided that no functional units' circuits, etc., addressed by Table 3.7.1 are out of service, which would not have been out of service due to inoperability of the panelboard.
This assures that no functional unit of Table 3.7.1 is degraded beyond the requirements for functieon rtio, and that the EPSL is capable of performing its intended OCONEE -UNITS 1, 2 & 3 3.7-14 Amendment No.

Amendment No.
182 (Unit 2)

179 (Unit 3)
In the event that the EPSL is in a degrad'ed mode while the reactor -is subcritical, a return to criticality may not be made unless the return to criticality is permitted by a controlling Technical Specification for an emergenct power system component(s). However, all functional units of the EPSL not affected by the inoperability of the emergency power system component(s) must be operable prior to return to criticality.
This ensures the availability of the EPSL during all reactor startups.
The normal source breakers (N and N provide power to the main feeder buses from the auxiliary transformer under normal power operation of the plant Under accident conditions the normal breakers open to allow an emergency power flowpath to the main feeder buses.
Since there is no emergency closing function, the Ngand N2 breakers may be opened and control circuitry deenergized without degrading the capability of the EPSL to perform its intended safety function. Therefore, while the NI and N breakers are open, Technical Specification 3.7.2(b) is considered to ie satisfied with respect to N1 and IN 2functional units of the EPSL.
120 VAC Vital Instrumentation Power Panelboards For each unit, four redundant 120 VAC vital instrument power panelboards are provided to supply power in a predetermined arrangement to vital power, instru mentation, and control loads under all operating conditions.
Each panelboard is supplied power separately from a static inverter connected to one of the four 125 kDC instrumentation and control power panelboards.
In addition, a tie with breakers is provided to each of the 120 VAC vital panelboards from the alternate 120 VAC regulated bus to provide backup for each vital panelboard and to permei servicing of the inver-ters.
For each unit, each of the four redundant channels of the nuclear instrumentation and reactor protective sstoem (RPS) equipment is supplied power from a separate 120 VAC vital panelboard. Also for each unit, each of the three redundant engin eered safety features actuation system (ESFAS) analog channels and each of the two redundant ESFAS digital channels are powered from separate vital panelboards.
The period allowed for corrective action on an inoperable vital panelboard depends on the loads carried by the affected panelboard. For example, panelboards KMIA and Ke are allowed to be inoperable for only four hours because they provide power to the digital ESFAS channels, which are in turn allowed to be inoperable for only four hours by Technical Specification 3.5.1.
In contrast, panelboards KVIC and (gID carry loads which do not necessarily become inoperable upon loss of power (e.g., RPS channels and ESFAS analog channels go to a tripped state upon loss of power) and thus do not necessitate immediate corrective action. Thus, these panelboards have been limited to a period of inoperability which does not exceed that allowed for their normal ource of power, the 125 DC instrumentation and control panelboards.
In the event that failure of.a static inverter results in the inoperability of its associated vital panelboard, the affected panelboard may be tied to the 240/
120 VAC regulated power system and unit operation may continue for seven days.
This specification allows sufficient time for the inverter to be repaired without penalizing unit operaticon by permitting the use of alternate power sources.
