RE(VEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR TURKEY POINT UNITS 3 AND 4 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION CHANGE REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR FUEL OIL STORAGE TAC NOS.
M97376 AND M97377 1.0 In page 5 of Attachment 1 to the November 22, 1996 submittal Florida Power and Light (FPL) stated that the storage tank supplies fuel oil to the 4000 gallon day tank of each EDG [emergency diesel generator].
This day tank has enough fuel to operate its associated EDG at rated capacity for approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br />.
Also, in page 6 of the attachment FPL stated that the day tank and the skid tank will have at least 3680 gallons and 200 gallons respectively, prior to taking the permanent storage tank out of service..
This will provide approximately 17 hours1.967593e-4 days <br />0.00472 hours <br />2.810847e-5 weeks <br />6.4685e-6 months <br /> of operation based on current Unit 3 EDG full load requirements.
However, Sections 3.8. 1.1 and 3.8. 1.2 of the current Technical Specifications (TS) only require a
total of 2000 gallons of fuel oil to be maintained in the day tank and skid tank.
Provide the following information:
a.
Provide clarification for the above discrepancy.
b.
Describe the provisions made to ensure that at least 3880 gallons of fuel oil will be available in the day tank and skid tank prior to taking the permanent storage tank out of service.
c.
With a TS requirement of 2000 gallons of fuel oil maintained in the day tank and skid tank, how long (based on rated capacity or time dependent loads) the EDG will be able to operate7 2.0 Updated Final Safety Analysis Report, Section
- 9. 15. 1.2. 1, states that the diesel fuel oil storage tank has a capacity of 64,000 gallons, which provides sufficient storage capacity to permit one EDG (3A or 3B) to operate at its "168 hour0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br /> rating" for at least 7 days.
However, current TS Sections 3.8. 1. 1 and 3.8. 1.2 only require a minimum of 38,000 gallons of fuel oil to be stored in the fuel oil storage tank.
With a TS requirement of 38,000 gallons of fuel oil maintained in the fuel oil storage
- tank, how long (based on rated capacity or time dependent loads) will the EDG be able to operate?
3.0 In page 1 of Attachment 1 to the November 22, 1996 submittal FPL stated that the proposed note for Surveillance Requirement 4.8. 1. 1.2i. 1 will allow the use of a temporary system for storage and delivery of at least a 7-day supply of diesel fuel oil for Unit 3 EDG.
FPL further stated that the capability of this temporary system to deliver fuel will maintain the operability of the EDG for 10 days.
- However, FPL did not discuss how a 7-day supply of fuel oil for Unit 3 EDG will be able to maintain the operability of the EDG for 10 days.
Provide a detailed discussion to clarify the above statements.
Cs,
4.0 In page 1 of Attachment 1 to the November 22, 1996 submittal FPL stated that with the proposed TS amendment in place, if 10 days of operation are exceeded using the temporary fuel oil storage
- system, action statements for an inoperable but required Unit 3 EDG will require the shutdown of Unit 4 to Node 5, and suspension of the Unit 3 refueling process.
However, these statements have not been incorporated in the TS.
Provide revised TS to include these statements.
5.0 To maintain the operability of the EDG during TS Section 4.8. 1..1.2i. 1 surveillance of the storage
- tank, FPL proposed to install a temporary tank and associated pump to the auxiliary fill system for the Unit 3 EDGs.
FPL stated that temporary storage system will consist of at least one tank with a minimum capacity of 7000 gallons.
Additional tanks will store remaining fuel on site to maintain a minimum 38,000 gallon supply for the operable Unit 3 EDG. Provide the following information:
a.
Discuss in detail (i.e.
numbers and locations of tanks, fire protection, procedures established for transferring fuel from tanks to tanks, etc.)
how/where these 38,000 gallons of temporary fuel oil will be stored/located.
- b.
Discuss the measure made to protect the components (i.e., piping,
- pumps, tanks, etc.) of this temporary fuel oil storage and transfer system from damage resulting from severe weather.
6.0 TS Section 3.8. 1. l.b requires that three separate and independent diesel generators to be operable, including:
1)
For Unit 3, two (3A and 3B); for Unit 4, one (3A or 3B) each with:
