TURKEY POINT - UNITS 3 & 4 3/4 8-14 AMENDMENT NOS. 147 AND 142

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES Continued The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9, "Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies,"

March 10, 1971;

1. 108, "Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants,"

Revision 1, August 1977; and 1.137, "Fuel-oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators,"

Revision 1, October 1979.

The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C.

power sources and associated distribution 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.

During a unit shutdown, the one required circuit between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class lE Distribution System can consist of at least the associated unit startup transformer feeding one 4160 volt Bus A or B, or the opposite unit's startup transformer feeding the associated unit's 4160 volt Bus A, or the associated unit's 4160 volt Bus A or B backfed

..through its auxiliary transformers with the main generator isolated.

As inoperability of numerous electrical components often affect the operation of the opposite unit,.the applicability for the shutdown LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION (LCO) for A.C. Sources, D.C. Sources and Onsite Power Distribution all contain statements to ensure the LCO's of the opposite unit are considered.

The allowable out-of-ser vice time for the D. C. busses is 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> with one unit shutdown in order to allow for required battery maintenance without requiring both units to be shutdown.

Provisions to substitute the spare battery for any one of the four station batteries have been included to allow for battery maintenance without requiring both units to be shutdown.

The requirement to have only one OPERABLE battery charger associated with a required battery bank permits maintenance to be conducted on the redundant battery charger.

A battery charger may be considered acceptable when supplying less than 10 amperes provided:

1)

The battery charger's ability.to independently accept and supply the D.C.

bus has been verified within the previous 7 days and 2)

D.C. output voltage is ) 129 volts.

The minimum number of battery chargers required to be OPERABLE is based on the following criteria:

1)

A minimum of one battery charger per bus with each powered from a separate 480 volt MCC is required to satisfy the single failure criteria when assuming the failure'f a MCC.

This restriction prohibits the use of two chargers powered from the same bus for meeting the minimum requirements.
