4.8. 1. 1.3

~Re orts - All diesel generator failures, valid or nonvalid, shall be reported to the Commission pursuant to Specification 6.9.1.

Reports of diesel generator failures shall include the ihformation recommended in Regulatory Position C.3.b of Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, August 1977.

If the number of failures in the last 100 valid tests, on a per diesel generator basis, is greater than or equal to 7, the report shall be supplemented to include the additional information recommended in Regulatory Position C.3.b of Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, August 1977.

Verifying that the auto-connected loads to each diesel generator do not exceed the 2000-hour rating of 4650 kW for DG-1 and DG-2 and 2850 kW for DG"3.

10.

Verifying th'e diesel generator's capability to:

a)

Synchronize with the offsite power source while the generator is 'loaded with its emergency loads upon a simulated restoration of offsite power, b}

Transfer its loads to the offsite power source, and c)

Be restored to its standby status.

11.

Verifying that with the diesel generator operating in a test mode and connected to its bus, a simulated ECCS actuation signal overrides the test mode by (1) returning the diesel generator to standby operation, and (2} automatically energizes the emergency loads with offsite power.

12.

Verifying that the automatic load sequence timer is OPERABLE with the interval between each load block within a 10K of its design interval for DG-1 and DG-2.

13.

Verifying that the following diesel generator lockout features prevent diesel generator starting only when required:

a)

Maintenance lock-out key lock switch.

b)

Emergency stop.

f.

At least once per 10 years or after any modifications which could affect diesel generator interdependence by starting all three dies'el generators simultaneously, during shutdown, and verifying that all three diesel generators accelerate to at least 900 rpm (> 60 Hz) in less than or equal to 10 seconds.

g.

At least once per 10 years by:

For the purposes of this test schedule, only valid tests conducted after the OL issuance date shall be included in the computation of the "last 100 valid tests."

Entry into this test schedule shall be made at the 31 day test frequency.

Mith the exception of the semiannual fast start, no starting time requirements are required to meet the valid test requirements of 'Regulatory Guide 1.108.

""Once this test frequency is required, it shall be maintained until seven consecutive failure free valid tests have been performed and the number of failures in the last 20 demands has been reduced to one.
