UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.C. 205554001 SAFETY EVALUATION BY THE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION RELATED TO AMENDMENT NO.

70 TO FACILITY OPERATING LICENSE NO. NPF-69 IAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORPORATION INE MILE POINT NUCLEAR STATION UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-410

1. 0 INTRODUCTION By letter dated January 16,
1995, as supplemented April 18, 1995, the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation (the licensee) submitted a request for changes to the Nine Mile Point Nuclear Station, Unit 2, (NMP-2) Technical Specifications (TSs).

The requested changes would revise TS Sections 3.8.1. 1 and 3.8.1.2; TS Surveillance Requirements Section 4.8. 1. 1.2; TS Bases Section 3/4.8. 1.3; and TS Administrative Controls Section 6.8.4.

Specifically TS 3/4.8. 1, "AC Sources-Operating,"

and 3/4.8. 1.2, "AC Sources-Shutdown,"

would be revised to (1) change the minimum quantity of fuel oil required in the day tanks and the storage

tanks, (2) add specific actions to be taken if the storage tank levels fall below minimum requirements, (3) relocate to the associated Bases, the fuel oil sampling and testing criteria, and (4) add specific actions to be taken if the fuel oil properties do not meet specified limits.

The changes would also revise TS 6.8.4, "Programs", to add a requirement for diesel fuel oil testing program.

The April 18, 1995, letter provided clarifying information that did not change the initial no proposed significant hazards consideration.

2.0 BACKGROUND

A sufficient supply of fuel oil is required for 7 days of operation for each emergency diesel generator (EDG) at NMP-2.

Certain circumstances (e.g., full load operation required after an inadvertent start while at minimum required levels; or feed and bleed operations that may be necessary to correct particulate levels or other oil quality degradations) may cause EDG fuel oil level(s) to drop below the specified minimum of 7-day fuel oil supply.

Current NMP-2 TSs require the EDG(s) to be declared inoperable if fuel oil supplies fall below the specified minimums for any reason.

However, the Improved Standard TSs (STSs)

(NUREG-1434) allow time to restore the fuel level(s) to the required minimums without declaring the associated EDG(s)

'inoperable.

Similarly, the EDG(s) must be declared inoperable if the fuel oil sample test results fall outside the limits specified in the Surveillance Requirements.

The l.icensing basis for the plant, as described in the TSs, requires testing of the quality of diesel fuel oil stored onsite.

The tests should be performed before new oil is introduced into the storage tanks and periodically on the stored oil.

The purpose of the tests is to assure that oil meets specifications which ensure proper operation of the EDGs.

An important test 950919'0324 9509i5 PDR ADQCK 050004f0 P

PDR

C

is for water, sediment or particulate content.

Water in-diesel fuel oils can lead to corrosion of carbon steel components, and seriously affect efficiency of combustion of fuel oil in the diesel engine.

High levels of sediment and particulate in diesel oil can block fuel oil filters and lead to degradation of performance of the EDGs.

Befor e addition of fuel oil to the storage tank it is sampled in accordance with ASTH D4057-81 and tested in accordance with ASTM D975-81.

Testing of the stored fuel on-site is done at least once every 31 days, in accordance with AS'2276-78.

The licensee is required by their TS to declare any diesel generator inoperable if fuel oil properties or total particulate cannot be restored to within required limits in prescribed time intervals.

3. 0 EVALUATION
3. 1 TS Sections 3.8. 1. 1 and 3.8. 1.2 - Limiting Condition for Operation The licensee proposed changes to TS Section 3.8. 1. 1,'AC Sources Operating",

and TS Section 3.8.1.2, "AC Sources - Shutdown" Limiting Conditions for Operation.

Existing TS Sections 3.8. 1. 1 and 3.8. 1.2, in part, require that:

a.

Separate day fuel tanks containing a minimum of 409 gallons of fuel for EDG*1 (Division I) and EDG*3 (Division II), and 282 gallons for EDG*2 (HPCS-Division III),

b.

A separate fuel storage system containing a minimum o 52,664 gallons of fuel for EDG*l (Division I) and EDG*3 (Division II), and 36, 173 gallons for EDG*2 (HPCS-Division III).

The licensee proposed to revise the above existing requirements to reflect the updated minimum fuel oil supplies required in the day tanks and the storage tanks as follow:

a.

Separate day fuel tanks containing a minimum of 403 gallons of fuel for EDG*l (Division I) and EDG*3 (Division II), and 282 gallons for EDG*2 (HPCS-Division III),

b.

A separate fuel storage system containing a minimum of 47,547 gallons of fuel for EDG*l (Division I) and EDG*3 (Division II), and 35,342 gallons for EDG*2 (HPCS-Division III).

The licensee revised EDG fuel oil consumption calculations using the time-dependent loads during design basis events to determine the minimum fuel oil supply required for 7 days of operation for each EDG.

Based on our review of the licensee's calculations, we conclude that there is sufficient supply of fuel oil for 7 days of operation for each EDG at NHP-2.

Therefore, we find the above proposed changes to TS Sections 3.8. 1.1 and 3.8.1.2 acceptable.

3.2 TS Sections 3.8. 1. 1 and 3.8. 1.2 - Action Statement The proposed change would add the following to the action statements of TS

The term "verify" as used in this context means to administratively'check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out of service for maintenance or other reasons.

It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITYof the component.

When a diesel generator becomes inoperable due to any cause other than preplanned maintenance or testing, there is a requirement in the ACTION to, for each OPERABLE diesel generator separately, either verify that the'cause of the diesel generator being inoperable does not impact the OPERABILITYof the OPERABLE diesel generator or perform Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2,a.4.

The term verify in this context means to determine by visual inspection, functional test or other means that the subsystem will perform its function.

For diesel generators made by different manufacturers, this verification may consist of a determination that the cause cannot exist if the comparable subsystem is of a different design.

The OPERABILITYof the minimum specified AC and DC power sources and associated distri-bution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that (1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and (2) sufficient instrumentation and,control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITYof the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of RG 1.9, "Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," December 1979; RG 1.108, "Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977; and RG 1.137, "Fuel-Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators,"

Revision 1, October 1979.

The Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program describes the sampling and test methods for assuring that new and stored fuel are of the appropriate grade and not contaminated with substances that would be detrimental to the operation of the diesel generators.

The test, limits, and applicable ASTM Standards for fuel are as follows:

1.

New Fuel a.

Sample the new fuel oil in accordance with ASTM D4057-81 before addition to the storage tanks; b.

Verify in accordance with the tests specified in ASTM D975-81, before addition to the storage "tanks, that the sample has an API gravity of within 0.3 degrees at 60'F or a specific gravity of within 0.0016 at 60/60'F, when compared to the supplier's certificate or an absolute specific gravity at 60/60'F of a0.83 and <0.89 (or an API specific gravity at 60'F of z27 and $ 39), a kinematic viscosity at 40'C of a1.9 centistokes and s4.1 centistokes, and a flash point of a125'F; and c.

Verify before addition to the storage tanks that the new fuel oil has a clear and bright appearance when tested in accordance with ASTM D4176-82.

Verify within 31 days after addition to the storage tanks that the other properties specified in Table 1 of ASTM D975-81 are met for new fuel when tested in accordance with ASTM D975-81, except that the analysis for sulfur may be performed in accordance with ASTM D1552-79 or ASTM D2622-82.

2.

Stored Fuel a.

At least once every 31 days sample fuel oil in the storage tanks in accordance with ASTM D2276-78, and verify in accordance with ASTIVI D2276-78, Method A, that total particulate concentration is less than 10 mg/I.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITYof the unit batteries are in accordance with the recommendations of RG 1.129, "Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Standard 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values, and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates, and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8.2.1-1 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage, and specific gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full-charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity.

The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full-charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full-charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITYand capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8.2.1-1 is permitted for up to 7 days, During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full-charge specific gravity ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full-charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an ac'ceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design function.
