APPLICABILITY BASES The same principle applies with regard to the allowable outage time limits of the ACTION requirements, if compliance with the ACTION requirements for one specification results in entry into a MODE or condition of operation for another specification in which the requirements of the Limiting Condition for Operation are not met. If the new specification becomes applicable in less time than specified, the differ ence may be added to the allowable outage time limits of the second specification. However, the allowable outage time limits of ACTION requirements for a higher MODE of operation may not be used to extend the allowable outage time that is applicable when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met in a lower MODE of ooeration.
The shutdown requirements of Specification 3.0.3 do not apply in MODES 5 and 6, because the ACTION requirements of individual specifications define the remedial measures to be taken.
3.0.4 This specification establishes limitations on MODE changes when a Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. It precludes placing the facility fn a higher MODE of operation when the requirements for a Limiting Condition for Operation are not met and continued noncompliance to these conditions would result in a shutdown to comply with the ACTION requirements MODES were permitted.
if a change in The purpose of this specification is to ensure that facility operation is not initiated or that higher MODES of operation are not entered when corrective action is being taken to obtain compliance with a specification by restoring equipment to OPERABLE status or parameters to specified limits. Compliance with ACTION requirements that permit continued operation of the facility for an unlimited period of time provides an accept-able level of safety for continued operation without regard to the status of the plant before or after a NODE change. Therefore, in this case, entry into an OPERATIONAL MODE or other specified condition may be made in accordance with the provisions of the ACTION requirements. The provisions of this specification should not, however, be interpreted as endorsing the failure to exercise good practice in restoring systems or components to OPERABLE status before plant startup.
When a shutdown is required to comply with the ACTION requirements, the provisions of Specification 3.0.< do not apply because they would delay placing the facility in a lower !10DE of operation.
Exceptions to this provision have been provided for a limited number of specifications when startup wi th inoperable equipment would not affect plant sa,ety. These exceptions are stated in the ACTION statements of the appro-
~riate specifications.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available to supply the safety related equipment required for 1)'he safe shutdown of the facility and 2) the mitigation and contro1 of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified indepen-dent and redundant A.C. and D.C. power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criteria 17 of Appendix "A" to 10 CFR 50.
The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility ooeration commensurate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the accident analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one of each of the onsite A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss of

When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an additional ACTIONrequirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE, and that the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump is OPERABLE. This requirement is intended to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power event willnot result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems during the period one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term verify as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine ifcertain 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.
Ambient conditions are the normal standby conditions for the diesel engines. Any normally running warmup systems should be in service and operating, and manufacturer's recommendations for engine oil and water temperatures and other parameters should be followed.
IN I:RT The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITYof the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108, "Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977, Regulatory Guide 1.137, "Fuel Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979, Generic Letter 84-15, "Proposed Staff Actions to Improve and Maintain Diesel Generator Reliability," dated July 2, 1984, and NRC staff positions reflected in Amendment No. 48 to Facility Operating License NPF-7 for North Anna Unit 2, dated April25, 1985.
~lTA .N 2 DISCUSSION OF PROPOSED CHANGES In a telephone conversation with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission staff on March 7, 1990, questions were raised concerning Florida Power and Light's St. Lucie Unit 1 proposed license amendment on Emergency Diesel Generators dated December 15, 1989. FPL's response to the staffs questions are provided below.
Full R n T .tin The St. Lucie Unit 1 emergency diesel generators have as their licensing basis Safety Guide 9, "Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," dated March 10, 1971.
Safety Guide 9 states that, "A diesel generator set selected for use as a standby power source should have the capability to... start and accelerate a number of loads in rapid succession, and be
'able to sustain the loss of any such load..." Performance parameters for acceptable engine response are also provided in the Safety Guide as follows:
During recovery from transients caused by step load increases or resulting from the disconnection of the largest single load, the speed of the diesel generator set should not exceed 75 percent of the difference between nominal speed and the overspeed trip setpoint or 115 percent of nominal, whichever is lower.
The Unit 1 EDGs were preoperationally tested in accordance with the Atomic Energy Commission guidance provided by Safety Guide 9. In the St. Lucie Unit 1 Safety Evaluation Report (SER),
dated November 8, 1974, the AEC required the performance of, "... full load acceptance, rejection and load sequencing tests." The AEC also stated that the test results were to be submitted to the staff for evaluation prior to fuel loading. FPL responded to this requirement by including the following testing requirements in Amendment 38 to the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR):
After assembly of the sets in the field, in situ tests willbe performed
(+ y t'
~1
... Specifically, these tests willinclude (i) sequence testing simulating loss of offsite power and loss of offsite power concurrent with a LOCA; (ii) a full load acceptance test; and (iii) a load rejection test. Data will be recorded in accordance with preoperational test procedures. When available this material willbe made available to the Staff for its review.
The AEC staff stated in Supplement 1 to the SER that it had reviewed the above commitment made in Amendment 38, and found it to be acceptable.
Preoperational testing of the EDGs was completed in the spring of 1976; testing included the verification of the engines'bility to reject the single largest load without tripping. Subsequent surveillance testing of the emergency diesel generators has been to this criterion. FPL proposes to maintain the original licensing basis for load rejection testing.
Tw n -f rH rF>llL Ri Florida Power and Light proposes to include an additional testing requirement, Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.e.6. The additional testing requirement will be the verification of EDG capability to run fully loaded for a period of twenty four hours without interruption. The EDG load for the first two hours of this test will be verified to be within a load band of 3800 to 3960 kW; the load for the remaining twenty-two hours will be verified to be within a load band of 3300 to 3500 kW. The intent of this testing is to ensure the EDG sets are capable of running in a fully loaded configuration for a moderately extended period of time without experiencing operational difficulties.
Vrific in fh ili f th, team-Driv n Auxili F w r P ]m Florida Power and Light proposes the addition of a statement to Limiting Condition for Operation (LCO) ACTION Statements 3.8.1.1.b and 3.8.1.1.c which provides for the verification of the operability of the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump whenever one EDG or one EDG and one offsite power source are not OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2 or 3. Appropriate additions are also proposed for the Bases Section for Specification 3.8.1.1.

Q ~ ~
Diesel Oil Stora e Tank Drainin Interval In the December, 1989 license amendment submittal, FPL proposed to drain the diesel oil storage tanks of accumulated water on a quarterly basis, as opposed to the monthly interval followed on Unit 2. The staff requested that additional information explaining the extended draining interval be provided.
To date, virtually no water has been present in fuel oil drained from the Unit 2 diesel oil storage tanks. However, replacing the diesel oil storage tank drain valves as a consequence of the more frequent exercising is a difficulttask involving the complete draining of the storage tanks. As the amount of accumulated water drained from the Unit 2 storage tanks has been negligible, FPL is of the opinion that the increase in draining intervals from monthly to quarterly willnot negatively affect the quality of the diesel generator fuel oil, nor the reliability and operability of the emergency diesel generators.
larification fT rmin 1: Am i n T m rature In conversations with the NRC staff, concerns were voiced by the staff relative to the use of the word 'ambient'n the Technical Specifications. To ensure optimal EDG reliability, oil and water temperatures should be within the limits recommended by the manufacturer prior to engine start.
Requirements for the starting of an EDG from ambient conditions should not be interpreted to mean the engine should be started with the normally operating warm-up systems not in operation, and the engine cooled to room temperature. Therefore, appropriate changes are proposed for the Bases section of the Unit 1 Technical Specifications to provide this clarification of staff intent.
