ACTIN requirements 3.8.1.1.f and 3.8.1.l.g prov de restrictions upon continued unit operation commensurate with degradatio of switchyard voltage and restoration of OPERABILITY of In an effort to minimize the risk to the health and safety to the public, ACTIONS 3.8.l.l.f and 3.8.1.1.g balance the risk of a forced shutdown against the risk of remaining at power with a switchyard vo'Itage in the lower portion of the expected range. The risk during ACTIONS 3.8.l.l.f and 3.8.1.1.g due to a switchyard voltage in the lower portion of the expected range and an independent accident is less than the risk associated with a normal shutdown including a reactor trip.

Conforaance to GDC-17 requires maintenance of switchyard voltages at or above those identified in ACTIONS 3.8. 1.1.f and 3.8.l.l.g. At voltages below those identified, a unit trip resulting from an ESF signal, coincident with low switchyard voltages, will result in sequencing of ESF equipment. on preferred offsite power. The Class 1E degraded voltage relays will detect a sustained degraded voltage due to the fast bus transfer of non-Class lE loads from the auxiliary transformers to the startup tr ansformers. The relays will actuate to stri'p the ESF equipment and resequence it on the emergency diesel

,generator. This "double sequencing" causes an interruption in equipment credited with specific response time in the UFSAR Chapter 6 and'5 safety analysis, and is unanalyzed. Maintenance of switchyard voltage at or above the specified eat,ue prevents this effect as does the configurations authorized by ACTIONS 3.8.l.l.f and 3.8. l.l.g. The required voltage is higher when three units are operating on two startup transformers, as two secondary windings of the startup transformers must each supply ESF power to two units.

ACTIONS 3.8. l. l.f. 1 and 3.8. l.l.g.l provides offsite power to half of the non-class'E loads for forced circulation to respond to a normal plant trip, as well as EDG power and the second offsite power circuit to the two trains of ESF equipment to respond to any accident.

ACTION requirements 3.8. l. l.f and 3.8. 1. l.g pr ide restrictions upon continued unit operation commensurate with degrad ion of switchyard voltage and restoration of OPERABILITY of In an effort to minimize the risk to the health and safety to the public, ACTIONS 3.8.l.l.f and 3.8. 1. l.g balance the risk of a forced shutdown against the risk of remaining at power with a switchyard voltage in the lower portion of the expected range.

The risk during ACTIONS 3.8.1.1.f and 3.8.1.1.g due to a switchyard voltage in the lower portion of the expected range and an independent accident is less than the risk associated with a normal shutdown including a reactor trip.

Conformance to GDC-17 requires maintenance of switchyard voltages at or above those identified in ACTIONS 3.8. 1.l.f and 3.8. l. 1.g. At voltages below those identified, a unit trip resulting from an ESF signal, coincident with low switchyard voltages, will result in sequencing of ESF equipment on preferred offsite power. The Class 1E degraded voltage relays will detect a sustained degraded voltage due to the fast bus transfer of non-Class 1E loads from the auxiliary transformers to the startup transformers. The relays will actuate to strip the ESF equipment and resequence it on the emergency diesel generator.

This "double sequencing" causes an interruption in equipment credited with specific response time in the UFSAR Chapter 6 and 15 safety analysis, and is unanalyzed. Maintenance of switchyard voltage at or above the specified value prevents this effect as does the configurations authorized by ACTIONS 3.8.1.1.f and 3.8. 1. 1.g. The required voltage is higher when three units are operating on two startup transformers, as two secondary windings of the startup transformers must each supply ESF power to two units. WczETK' t p

ACTIONS 3.8.1.1.f.l and 3.8. 1. l.g. 1 provides offsite power to half of the non-class lE loads for forced circulation to respond to a normal plant trip, as well as EDG power and the second offsite power circuit to the two trains of ESF equipment to respond to any accident.
