SECTION A INTRODUCTION AND DISCUSSION OF SHNPP EQUIPMENT Concerns regarding the reliability of diesel generator units of the type supplied by TDI to SHNPP were first prompted by a crankshaft failure at Shoreham in August 1983.

Based upon a review of industry experience with TDI diesel generators, the reliability of a number of components were questioned and deficiencies were identified.

The NRC considered that the deficiencies stemmed from inadequacies in design, manufacture, and QA/QC by TDI.

In response to these

problems, 13 U.S. nuclear utility owners, including CP&L, formed a TDI Diesel Generator Owner's Group to address operational and regulatory issues relative to diesel generator sets used for standby emergency power.

The Owner's Group Program, which was initiated in October

1983, embodied three major efforts:

1.

Resolution of 16 known generic problem areas (Phase I Program) intended by the Owner's Group to serve as an interim basis for the licensing of plants.

2.

Design review of important engine components and quality revalida-tion of important attributes for selected engine components (Phase II Program).

3.

Identification of any needed additional engine testing or inspec-

tions, based on findings stemm'ing from the Phase I and II Programs.

Phase I of the program has been completed with submittal to the NRC by the Owner's Group of 33 reports addressing analyses and evaluations of the 16 known generic problem areas.

Phase II of the program is plant specific and results in a DR/QR (Design Review/Quality Revalidation)

Report.

The DR/QR Report for SHNPP was issued by Owner's Group Letter QGTP-535-0-328, dated November 15, 1984 and is provided to NRC as part of this submittal.

A maintenance matrix addressing engine future inspections is provided as part of the DR/QR Report (see Volume 4, Appendix II).

The Owner's Group Program has shown that with implementation of their recommendations, the TDI diesel generators are fully capable of reliably performing their intended safety function at full-rated output.

The SHNPP emergency diesel generators were initially ordered in August 1974.

The Unit 1 equipment was delivered in 1981 and the Unit 2 equip-ment in late 1983; SHNPP has four diesel generators at the site, but only two are installed for Unit 1.

While there are many parameters, the following tabulates the basic design of the SHNPP diesel generators:

SECTION B

DISCUSSION OF EQUIPMENT ELECTRICAL LOADING The SHNPP equipment was procured by the plant Architect Engineer (Ebasco) utilizing Specification Ebasco 216-73Tb, "Diesel Engine Generator Unit and Control Panel for Nuclear Power Plants".

The equipment was required to satisfy the following parameters:

6900 volts, 6500 net kw, 0.8 pf, 60 Hz, and three phase.

Capable of reaching full speed and be ready for loading in no more than 10 seconds, and pick up full-rated load in not more than 45 seconds after receiving a start signal.

Capable of operating at 110 percent of rated load for two hours out of every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

By CP&L letter dated July 15, 1983, Mr. M. A. McDuffie to Mr. Harold R.

Denton, a revised FSAR Table 8.3.1-2 (Emergency Diesel Generator Loads and Starting Sequence) was provided to update the loadings anticipated to be applied to the diesel generators.

Load blocks one through eight are automatically applied to the diesel generators starting at ten seconds after the safeguards signal is actuated.

Load Block 9 contains loads that are manually activated.

The following tabulates the summation of the IE loads from the referenced letter; Fnnine Condition Blocks 1-8

Load, kw Block 9
Load, kw Total
Load, kw IA Safe Shutdown 4821.05 703 5524.05 LOCA 5247.55 344.5 5592.05 1B Safe Shutdown 4823.05 748.5 5571.55 LOCA 5249.55 348.5 5598.05 The maximum load of 5600 kw (5598.05) indicates a substantial margin to the design rating (6500) of the diesel generators.

However, it must be noted that these numbers are subject to revision particularly in light of the cancellation of SHNPP Unit 2.

SECTION C

DISCUSSION OF 1984 INSPECTION RESULTS AND RESOLUTION OF PHASE I COMPONFNTS As CPGL is a participating member of the Owner's Group and in con]unction with the Unit 1 construction

schedule, a decision was made to disassemble and inspect the engines prior to operation.

The engines have only accumulated a small amount of factory operating time (42.2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for lA and 11.2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> for 1B).

The disassembly of both engines began in June 1984 and was complete by about mid-July.

Following disassembly, inspec-tions were initiated in accordance with procedures prepared for SHNPP by the Owner's Group.

Documentation of these inspections is available't the SHNPP site.

All Owner's Group Phase I recommendations for inspection have been fulfilled except for those applicable to "after operation" of the engine; this applies to the turbocharger and )acket water pump, but the pump was visually inspected and found satisfactory.

The remaining recommendations will be implemented following engine reassembly and testing.

The purpose of this section is to briefly discuss the results of these inspections with respect to the 16 generic engine components.

While most of this information is contained in DR/QR Report, it is provided in the attached table to simplify the review and add some inspection results not reflected in the report due to the data not being available when the report was prepared.

Definitions of inspections are as follows:

SECTION D

DISCUSSION OF CP&L PLANS FOR PLACING THE EQUIPMENT INTO OPERATION Diesel Engines 1A-SA and 1B-SB are presently being reassembled.

Diesel Engine lA-SA reassembly will be completed in January 1985 and 1B-SB reassembly will be completed in February 1985.

The present construction schedule indicates that all systems necessary to operate the diesel engines will be operational by April 1985 for both diesel engines.

Initial diesel engine operation is planned for May and June 1985 for training of operators, to establish satisfactory system operation, and accumulate engine hours prior to the final Phase II DR/QR inspection to be performed by CP&L.

One diesel engine will be inspected per TDI Owner's Group recommendation contained in the Phase II Report.

Based on initial inspection results, the need for inspection of the second SHNPP TDI diesel will be determined.

This inspection period will occur between June and October 1985.

After reassembly, diesel engine generator preopera-tional testing will start.

The estimated completion date for preoperational testing is February 1986 and the diesels will then be declared operational.

Figure 1 is a simplified schedule showing these activities.

Subsequent to the planned May 1985 engine operation, the following post-endurance inspections will be performed:

MAINTENANCE AND SURVEILLANCE PROGRAM As part of the TDI Diesel Generator Owners Group effort, a maintenance and surveillance matrix has been developed for the SHNPP equipment.

This matrix is provided in Appendix II of the DR/QR Report (see Volume 4).

The maintenance matrix was developed utilizing TDI instruction manuals, TDI service information memos (SIMs), TDI correspondence on specific components, and Owners Group technical staff input resulting from the development of the diesel generator reliability program.

The maintenance matrix provided in the DR/QR Report is based upon technical information available as of. the beginning of November 1984.

Accordingly, information developed, or to be developed, will be added to the program identified in the matrix.

The DR/QR Maintenance Matrix will be used in lieu of the manufacturer's manuals.

CPSL commits to following the Owner's Group maintenance recommen-dations as a minimum, incorporating these in the overall SHNPP maintenance program subject to the following clarifications:

1.

Where five-year inspections are indicated, these will be performed at the first refueling outage following the comple-tion of the fifth year of plant commercial operation.

2.

Where ten-year inspections are indicated, these will be per-formed at the first refueling outage following the completion of the tenth year of plant commercial operation.

3.

Regardless of the accumulation of engine operating hours, the first inspection requiring disabling of the diesel generator will be performed at the first refueling outage following plant commercial operation.

4.

Subsequent to licensing of SHNPP, periodic testing of the diesel generators during normal plant operation will cause the equipment to run for about 40 to 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> during a fuel cycle.

During the 1985 testing phase on this equipment, CPGL intends to operate one diesel generator for at least 50 hours5.787037e-4 days <br />0.0139 hours <br />8.267196e-5 weeks <br />1.9025e-5 months <br /> more than the other diesel generator.

This unit will then be the "lead" diesel generator and will be disassembled and inspected as required by the maintenance matrix.

The "follow" diesel generator inspection will be performed at the next refueling outage.

The intent is to only perform ma]or maintenance on one diesel during a particular outage.

This is reasonable utiliz-ing the "lead" engine concept.

5.

The rack teeth inspection for Component 02-304A/B (Page 8 of the matrix) is to be done during the-five-year inspection (i.e.,

move the X one column to the right).

Page 14 The commitment to utilize the Owners Group Program as the basis for the SHNPP Program will require a change to SHNPP Technical Specification No. 3/4.8.1.1.2.c.l.

The existing technical specification reads as follows:

"c.l.

Subjecting the diesel to an inspection in accordance with procedures prepared in conjunction with its manufacturer's recommen-dations for this class of standby service,"

This will be revised by deleting the words "its manufacturer's" to read as follows:

procedures prepared in con]unction with recommendations for this ~

~

~

This change reflects that GPSS'ill not be solely relying upon the manufacturer's maintenance recommendations.

Page 15 SECTION F DISCUSSION OF OWNER'S GROUP SHNPP PHASE II DR/QR REPORT The TDI Diesel Generator Owner's Group SHNPP DR/QR Report represents a

comprehensive review of the equipment procured for installation at the SHNPP site.

It encompasses about 167 items as identified with an "X" in either the DR or QR column of Table 2-2 (see Volume 1).

On the basis of implementation of the recommendations contained within the DR/QR Report, it is concluded that the SHNPP diesel generators are fully capable of performing their intended safety function as described in the FSAR.

As discussed elsewhere in this report, the engines have been disassem-bled, inspected, upgraded as deemed appropriate, and are presently being reassembled.

At this time, not all actions have been completed.

However, CP&L commits to satisfying the intent of the recommendations contained within the DR/QR Report, as discussed within this section, or will specifically notify NRC of the justification for required action, if different from the OG recommendations.

The purpose of this section is to identify clarifications needed in the SHNPP DR/QR Report based upon CP&L's preliminary review.

This does not include editorial, or labeling, corrections that could be incorporated.

Further, as one item may appear in more than one place in the four volume
report, the following comments are identified by component number and apply in all applicable locations:

1.

Component 00-520:

Identified as an instruction plate (see Volume 2, Page ii) but the QR Report is not provided.

This is to be deleted.

2.

Component 02-385A:

Relief valves are not included at SHNPP.

Refer to Component 02-386A.

3.

Component 02-525B:

This is not presently installed at SHNPP.

4.

Component 02-315C:

Hardness testing has been deleted by the Owner's Group.

Material comparator testing has indicated that the liners are satisfactory.

However, 50 percent of the liners will be visually inspected on Engine 1A-SA during post-endurance inspection (not at 50-hour intervals).

If any one visual inspection result is unsatisfactory, then 100 percent will be inspected.

At completion of start-up testing, all liners will be borescoped to ensure satisfactory conditions exist.

5.

Component F-068:

At SHNPP, a low-point drain already exists.

Therefore, no plenum modification is required.

k 1

tg,

Page 16 6.

Component 02-340A:

CP&L will inspect a sample on one engine at the first outage.

Absent any problems, it is safer to leave the components undisturbed and avoid potential mechanical errors due to disassembly and reassembly than to MT the con-necting rod bolts each outage.

TDI has evaluated the 1A-6-4 connecting rod bolt and determined that it is satisfactory.

It is to be reinstalled.

7.

Component 02-700A:

The vent line drawing used for the DR is not the correct drawing.

This will need revisions.

8.

Component 02-700E:

Information used was incorrect for SHNPP.

This will need revisions.

9.

Component 02-455B:

The modifications are not necessary, based on engineering evaluation of the strainer installation.

10.

Component 02-475B:

TDI SIM 322 has been incorporated.

ll.

Component 02-689:

Due to equipment layout/installation within the building, the liquid level transmitter design is being changed.

The new design will satisfy the intent of the Owner's Group recommendations.

12.

Component 02-315E:

The studs will be installed using a graphite-oil lubricant and to a free length of 15+1/8 inches.

Both of these parameters have been verbally approved by TDI.

13.

Component 02-310A:

A torsiograph test will be performed on one engine.

The main journal oil holes have been polished and inspected with satisfactory results.

14.

Component 02-650B:

Cabinet ventilation and other'eeded modifications will be pursued.

Other recommendations may not be prudent due to existing equipment layout and mounting.

15.
