Changes to the maintenance and surveillance programs for the TDI diesel

engines, as identified in Shearon Harris SSER No. 4, shall be subiect to the provisions of 10 CFR 50.59.

The frequency of the major engine overhauls referred to in the license conditions below shall be consistent with Section IV.I. "Overhaul Frequency" in Revision 2 of Appendix II of the Design Review/guality Revalidation report which was transmitted by letter dated May I, 1986, from J.

George, Owners Group, to H. Denton, NRC.

2.

Connecting rod assemblies shall be sub,iected to the following inspections at each major engine overhaul:

a.

The surfaces of the rack teeth should be inspected for signs of fretting. If fretting has occurred, it should be subject to an engineering evaluation for appropriate corrective action.

b.

All connecting-rod bolts should be lubricated in accordance with the engine manufacturer's instructions and torqued to the specifi-cations of the manufacturer.

The lengths of the two pairs of bolts above the crankpin should be measured ultrasonicly pre-and post-tensioning.

c.

The lengths of the two pair s of bolts above the crankpin should be measured ultrasonically prior to detensioning and disassembly of the bolts. If bolt tension is less than 93Ã of the value at installation, the cause should be determined, appropriate corrective action should be taken; and the interval between checks of bolt tension should be re-evaluated.

d.

. All connecting-rod bolts should be inspected by magnetic particle testing (MT) to verify the continued absence of cracking.

All washers used with the bolts should be examined visually for signs of galling or cracking, and replaced if damaged.

e.

Visual inspection should be performed of all external surfaces of the link rod box to verify the absence of any signs of service induced distress.

f.'ll of the bolt holes in the link rod box should be inspected for thread damage (e.g., galling)'r other signs of abnormalities.

In addition, the bolt holes subject to the highest stresses (i.e.,

2 3.

The the a

~

b.

Co the pair immediately above the crankpin) should be examined with an appropriate nondestructive method to verify the continued absence of cracking.

Any indications should be recorded for engineering evaluation and appropriate corrective action.

cylinder blocks shall be subiected to the following inspections at interval specified in the inspections:

Cylinder blocks shall be inspected for "ligament" cracks, "stud-to-stud" cracks and "stud-to-end" cracks as defined in a report* by Failure Analysis Associates, Inc.

(FaAA) entitled, "Design Review of TDI R-4 and RV-4 Series Emergency Diesel Generator Cylinder Blocks" (FaAA report no. FaAA-84-9-11. 1), dated December 1984.

(Note that the FaAA report specifies additional inspections to be performed for blocks with "known" or "assumed" ligament cracks).

The inspection intervals (i.e., frequency) shall not exceed the intervals calculated using the cumulative damage index model in the subiect FaAA report.

In addition, inspection method shall be consistent with or equivalent to those identified in the subject FaAA report.

In addition to inspections specified in the aforementioned FaAA report, blocks with "known" or "assumed ligament cracks" (as defined in the FaAA report) should be inspected at each refueling outage to determine whether or not cracks have initiated on the top surface exposed by the removal of two or more cylinder heads.

This process should be repeated over several refueling outages until the entire block top has been inspected.

Liquid-penetrant testing or a similarly sensitive nondestructive testing technique should be used to detect cracking, and eddy current should be used as appropriate to determine the depth of any cracks discovered.

If inspection reveals cracks in the cylinder blocks between stud holes of adjacent cylinders ("stud-to-stud" cracks) or "stud-to-end" cracks, this condition shall be reported promptly to the NRC staff and the affected engine shall be considered inoperable.

The engine shall not be restored to "operable" status until the proposed disposition and/or corrective actions have been approved by the NRC staff.

1.0 Objectives of the Environmental Protection Plan The Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) is to provide for protection of nonradiological environmental values during operation nf the nuclear facility.

The principal objectives of the EPP are as follows:

( 1)

Verify that the facility is operated in an environmentally acceptable

manner, as established by the Final Environmental Statement

- Operating Licensing Stage (FES-OL) and other NRC environmental impact assessments.

(2)

Coordinate NRC r'equirements and maintain consistency with other

Federal, State and local requirements for environmental protection.

(3)

Keep NRC informed of the environmental effects of facility construction II and operation and of actions taken to control those effects.

I Environmental concerns identified in the FES-OL which relate to water quality matters are regulated by way o the licensee's NPDES permit.

3.0 3.1 Consistency Reauirements Plant Design and Operation The licensee may make changes in station design or operation or perform tests or experiments affectinq the environment provided such activities do not involve an unreviewed environmental question and do not involve a

chanqe in the EPP*.

Changes in station design or operation or performance of tests or experiments which do,not affect the environment are not subject to the requirements of this EPP.

Activities governed by Section 3.3 are not subiect to the requirements of this Section.

Before engaging in additional construction or operational activities which may significantly affect the environment, the licensee shall prepare and record an environmental evaluation of such activity.

Activities are excluded from this requirement if all measurable nonradiological environ-mental effects are confined to the on-site areas previously disturbed during site preparation and plant construction.

When the evaluation indicates that such activity involves an unreviewed environmental

question, the licensee shall provide a written evaluation of such activity and obtain prior NRC approval.

When such activity involves a change in the

EPP, such activity and change to the EPP may be implemented only in accordance with an appropriate license amendment as set forth in Section 5.3 of this EPP.

APPENDIX C

ANTITRUST CONDITIONS The licensee, Carolina Power and Light Company, is subiect to the following antitrust conditions:

Commitment No.

1 Licensee recognizes that it is generally in the public interest for electric utilities to interconnect, coordinate

reserves, and engage in bulk power supply transactions, in order to increase electric system reliability and reduce the costs of electric power.

Bulk power supply arrangements should be such as to provide benefits, on balance, each'o licensee and to other participant(s),

respectively.

The benefits to participants in such arrangements need not be equal and the benefits realized by a small system may be proportionately greater than those realized by a larger system.

In implementing the commitments which it makes in the succeeding paragraphs, licensee will act in accordarce with the foregoing principles.

~dt Ii (a) Neither licensee nor any other participant shall be obligated to enter into such arrangements

( I) if to do so would violate, incapacitate, or limit its ability to perform any other existing contractual arrangement, or (2) to do so would adversely affect its system operations or the reliability of power supply to its customers, or (3) if to do so would jeopardize the licensee's ability to finance or construct on reasonable terms facilities needed to meet its own anticipated system requirements.

Commitment No.

2 Licensee will interconnect with and coordinate reserves by means of the sale and exchange of emergency bulk power with any entity or entities in its service area

+ engaging in or proposing to enoage in electric bulk power supply on terms that will provide 'or licensee 's costs (including a reasonable return) in connection therewith; and allow the other participant(s),

as well as licensee, full access on a proportionate basis to the benefits of reserve coordination.

("Proportionate basis" refers to the equalized percentage of reserves concept rather than the largest single-unit concept, unless all participants otherwise agree).

iiy t it, i

i y

t t

t dd.

• • The use of the term "service area" as found in this commitment or in any other section of the commitments is intended to describe those areas in North Carolina and South Carolina where licensee provides some class of electric service, but in no way indicates an a'ssignment or allocation of wholesale market areas.

Ex 1anator Notes (a)

Interconnections will not be limited to low voltages when higher voltages are available from licensee's installed facilities in the area where interconnection is desired, when the proposed arrangement is found to be technically and economically feasible.

(b)

Emergency service agreements will not be limited to a fixed amount, but emergency service provided under such agreements will be furnished if and when available and desired where such supply does not impair or threaten to impair service to the supplier's customers due to capacity availability, fuel supply, system reliability or other good cause.

Licensee, however, shall not be obligated to provide emergency service to another entity in lieu of such entity's maintaining its own adequate system reserves or fuel supply.

(c)

An example of the type of reserve sharing arrangement available to any participant and which would provide "full access on a proportional basis to the benefits of reserve coordination" would be one in which the following conditions would obtain:

(i)

The licensee and each participant(s) shall provide to the other emergency power if and when available from its own generation, or through its transmission from the generation of others to the extent it can do so without disrupting or threatening to impair service to its own customers due to capacity availability, fuel

supply, system reliability or other good cause.

(ii) The participants to the reserve sharing agreement,.including

licensee, shall, consistent with licensee's reserve policy as established from time to time by licensee, determine a minimum percentage reserve to be installed and/or purchased by the participants, including licensee, as necessary to maintain in total an adequate and reliable power supply on the interconnected system of licensee and participant(s).

Commitment No.

3 Licensee will purchase from or sell "bulk power " to any other entity in its service area engaging in or proposing to engage in the generation of electric power in bulk at the seller's cost (including a reasonable return> whenever such transactions would serve to reduce the overall costs of new bulk power supply, each, for itself and other participant(s) to the transaction, respectively.

("Costs" refers to costs of bulk power supply determined in accordance with the seller's normal practices, without regard to the purchaser's intended use of, the power or the status of the purchaser ).

This paragraph refers specifically to the opportunity to coordinate in the plannino of new generation, transmission and associated facilities. If licensee questions the desirability of a proposed transaction on the ground that it would not reduce its overall bulk power costs, it will make available upon request to the entity proposing the transaction such information as is relevant and reasonably necessary to establish its bulk power costs.

Ex lanator Notes (a) It is not to be considered that this condition requires licensee to purchase or sell bulk power if such purchase or sale is technically infeasible or that the-benefits therefrom do not exceed the costs in connection with such purchase or sale.

Commitment No.

4 Licensee will facilitate the exchange of bulk power by transmission over its system between or among two or more entities with which it is interconnected on terms which will fully compensate it for the service performed, to the extent that such arrangements reasonably can be accommodated from a functional and technical standpoint.

Ex lanator Notes (a)

This condition applies to entities with which licensee is interconnected in the future as well as to which it is now interconnected.

Commitment No.

5 Licensee will sell power in bulk to any entity in the aforesaid area now engaging in or proposing to engage in the retail distribution of electric power.

Ex lanator Notes (a)

This is provided that licensee has such power available for sale after making adequate provision for the capacity, fuel and other requirements of its service area customers.

Commitment No.

6 The implementation of these numbered paragraphs shall be in all respects on reasonable terms and conditions as consistent with the Federal Power Act and all other lawful regulation and authority, and shall. be subject to engineering and technical feasibility for licensee's system.

Licensee will negotiate (including the execution of a contingent statement of intent) with respect to the foregoing comnitments with any entity in its service area engaging in or proposing to engage in bulk power supply service area engaging in or proposing to engage in bulk power supply transactions, but licensee shall not be required to enter into any final arrangements prior to resolution of any substantial questions as to the lawful authority of an entity to enoage in the transactions.

Commitment No.

7 In contracts between, licensee and its wholesale customers, licensee will not attempt to restrict such customers from electrically connecting with other sources of power if reasonable written notice to licensee has been made and agreement reached by the parties on such measures or conditions, if any, as may be required for the protection and reliability of both systems.
