, TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY CH ATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE 374o1 500C Chestnut Street Tower Il FEB 2 1979 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Attention: Mr. S. A. Varga, Chlef Light Water Reactors Branch No. 4 Division of Project Management U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555

Dear Mr. Varga:

In the Matter of the Application of ) Docket No. 50-327 Tennessee Valley Authority )

Enclosed are the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant (SNP) preoperational response time test procedures requested by the Instrument and Control Systems Branch (ICSB) reviewer, Don Lasher, during a telephone conversation on January ll, 1979. These preoperational tests measure response time from instrument bistable input to slave relay output (Enclosure 1) and from slave relay output to hardware actuation (Enclosure 2).

In response to a request by the Power Systems Branch (PSB), Enclosure 3 is a revision of the response to question Q8.33 in the SNP Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) which concerns the effect of sustained high or low grid voltage ccaditions on safety-related electrical equipment. The revision to Q8.33 commits TVA to incorporate a low voltage trip.

Enclosure 4 is a revision to FSAR Section 7.6.6 which concerns spurious actuation protection for motor operated valves. The revision specifies the removal of power to the accumulator isolation valves in accordance with Branch Technical Position (BTP) ICSB 18.

Amendment 60 will incorporate Enclosures 3 and 4 into the SNP FSAR.

Very truly yours,

,,, y u e, ~ h , and then on the cold leg injection path. The differ-ence in response times may then be used in futuve curveillance testing when response time will be obtained on only the mini flow circuit. CCP 1A-A is lined up for mini flow diccharge through the seal water heat exchanger. A SI signal test switch is attached to the VCT suction isolation and EiST suction isolation Train A valves. This switch is tested to verify that it will move the valves. The CCP M-A SI start is added to the switch circuit.

A transient recorder is connected across the SI signal and acrosc pump discharge pressure signal. The test switch is used to start the transient and it is recorded. The pump is stopped. The test switch is attached to the Train A injection and isolation valves. They are tested for response without pump start. The pump start is returned to the switch circuit. The switch is used to start the inj ection transient and it in recorded. The pu=p is ctopped. The procedure is repeated for CCP 13-3 and Train B valves.

NOTE: The following procedure will produce a snil arount of temporary flow through the nor ' charging path and a small c. count of flow to the boric acid tank. These systems should be set up for this purpose.

CAUTION: During performance of thic section do not start any notor/ pump more than twice in a one hour period.

ESCLU:>URE 3

, REVISION TO FSAR QUESTION Q8.33 8.33 With regard to t he e f f ec ts on the safety related power system and saf ety related equipment and loads caused by sustained low or high grid voltage condit;ons we will require that your design of the safety related electrical system meet the following staff positions. Supplement ir the FSAR the desc ri ption o f your design to show how it mee t s thesa positions and provide appropria e analyses to justify any n:n-conformance with these positions.

POSITIONS

1) Position 1: Additional Level of Under-or-Over Voltage Protection with a Time Delay We require that an add i t iona l level of voltage protection for the onsite power system be provided and that this addi-tional level of voltage protection shall satis fy the follow-ing criteria:

a) The selection of voltage and time set points shall be deter.ained f rom an analysis of the voltage requi remen ts of the safety related loads at all onsite system dis-tribution levels; b) The voltage protection shall i.nc l ude coincidence logic on a per bus basis to preclude spurious trips of the o f f site power source; c) The time delay selected shall be based on the following conditions:

(1) The allowable time delay, including margin, shall not exceed the maximum time delay that is assuming the FSAR accident analyses; (2) The selec ted t ime delay shall minimize the ability of short duration disturbance s to reduce the avail-ability of the o f f site power source (s); and (3) The allowed time duration of a degraded voltage condition at all d istributioa system levels shall not re sul t in failure of safety systems or compo-nents; d) The voltage sensors shall automatically taitiate the

-lisconnection of o f f site power sources whenever the

, voltage set point and time delay limits have been exceeded; QS.33-1 July 28, 1978

e) ..e voltage sensors shall be designed to sat isfy the applicable re qui reuen t s of IEEE Std. 279-1971, "Crite-ria for Protection Systems for Nuclear Power Generating Stations;" and f) The Techncial Specifications shall include limiting c ond i t.i ons for operation, surve illance requirements ,

trip set points with minimum and maximum limits, and a llowable va nes for the additional level of voltage i

protection sc 'rs and their associated time delay devices.

GDC-17 requires that the safety function of each a.c. system (assuming the other system is not functioning) shall be to provide sufficient capacity and capability to assure that:

(a) specified acceptable fuel design limits and the design conditions for the reactor coolant pressure boundary are not exceeded as a result of anticipated operational occurrences; and (b) the core is cooled and containment integrity and other vital functions are maintained during any of the pos-tulated accidents.

Exist ing undervoltage monitors automatically perform the required function of switching f rom o f f site power, the pre-ferred powe r source , to the redundant onsite power sources when the monitored voltage degrades to a level of between 50 to 70 percent of the nominal rated safety bus voltage. This h is usually accomplished af ter a one-half to one second tim:

delay. These undervoltage monitors are designed to function on a complete loss of the o ff site power source.

'"he of f si te powe r system is the common source which normally pplies power to the redundant saf ety-related buses. Any transient or sustained degradation of this common source will be re flec ted onto the onsite system's safety-related buses.

A sustained degradation of the of f site power system's voltage could result in the loss of capability of the redundant safety loads, their control circuitry, and the associat ed elec trical components required f or perf orming safety functions.

Even though the operating procedures and guidelines utilized by elec tric utilities and their interconnected cooperative organizations minimize the probability for the degraded conditions to occur, the degradation of the offsite power system that could lead to or cause the failure of redundant sa f ety-re lat ed elec tr ical equipment is unacceptable. There-fore, we re qui re the additional safety margins associated with implementation of the protective measures detailed above.

Q8.33-2 July 28, 1978

2) POSITION 2: Interaction ci Onsite (Standby) Power Sources with Shed ienture

[#'N We re qui re that the current system de s ign , automatically prevent load shedding of the emergency buses once the standby sources are supplying power to all sequenced loads

~

on the emergency buses. The design shall also include the capability of the load shedding feature to be automatically reinstated if the standby source supply breakers are tripped. Th is automatic bypass and reinstatement feature shall be verified during the periodic testing identified in Position 3.

In the event an adequate basis can be provided for retaining the load shed t eature when loads a re energized by the standby power system, we will require that the setpoint value in the Technical Specifications, which is currently specified as " . . . equal to or greater than . . ." be amended to specify a value having maximum and minimam limits. The licensecs' bases for the setpoints and limits selected must be docanented.

CDC 17 requires that provisions be included to minimize the probability of losing elec tric1 power f rom any of the remaining supplies as a result of or coincident with the loss of power generated by the nuclear power unit, the loss p of power from the transmission network, or the loss of power I f rom the onsite electric power supplies.

Thc functional safety requirement of the " loss-of-offsite power sensors" is to detect t he loss of voltage on the off-site ( pre ferred ) power system and to initiate the necessary actions required to transfer the safety-related buses to the standby system. The load shedding feature, which is required to function prior to connecting the standby power sources to the ir re spec t ive buses can adversely interact with the standby power sources if the load shedding eature is not bypassed af ter it has performed its requi-a3 runc-tion. The load shed feature should also be re it, ited to allow it to perform its function if the standby sources are

, interrupted and are subsequently required to be reconnected to their respective buses.

3) POSITION 3: Standby Power Source Testing We require that the Technical Specifications include a test requirement to demons trate the full functional operability and independence of the standy power sources at least once per 18 months during s hutdown.

Q8.33-3 July 28, 1978

6 The Technical Specifications sPall include a requ i reme nt for

[#'N te st s : (1) simulating loss of offsite power; (2) simulating loss of offsite power in conjureton with a safety f eature actuation signal; and (3) simelating interruption and sub-sequent reconnection of standby power sources to their respec tive buses. Proper operation shall be determined by:

a) Ver ifying that on loss c ,ffsite power the emergency buses have been de-energi >.ed and tha t the loads have been shed f rom the emerget buses in accordance with design requ i reme n ts ,

b) Verifying that on loss of off site power the diesel generators start er. the au to s t a rt signal, the emergency buses are energized with permanently connec ted loads, the au to-connec t ed s hu t down l o ad s a re energized th ro ugh the load sequencer, anc the system operates for five minu tes while the genera tors a re loaded with the shut-down loads.

c) Verifying that on safety features actuation signal (without loss of off site power) the diesel genera tors start oa the autostart signal and operate on standby for five minutes, d) Ver fying that on :oss of offsite power in conjuction p with a safety f eatures ac t ua t i on signal the diesel I generators start or the autostart signal, the emergency buses are energized with permanent ly connec ted loads ,

the au to-connec ted emergency (accident) loads are energized through the load sequencer, and the system opera te s for five minutes while the generators are loaded with the emergency loads.

e) Verifying that on interruption of the standby sources the l o ad s are shed f rom the emergency buses in accor-dance with design requirements and that subsequent loading of the standby sources is th rough the load segr encer.

The te st ing requirements identified in Position 3 will demon s t ra te the capability of the st andby power system to per form its re q ui re d fr action . The tests will also ident ify unde sirable interac tion be tween the s " site and onsite emergency power systems.

4)

POSITION 4: Optimization of Transformer Tap Settings The voltage levels at the saiety t : lated buses should be opt imized f or the full load and min imum load conditions that are expec ted throuf! out the anticipated range of voltage Q8.33-4 July 28, 1978

SNP-)>

variations of the power source by appropriate adjustment of the voltage tap settings of the intervening transformers.

We requi re that the adequacy of the design in this regard be verified by actual measurement, and by correlation of =ca-sured values with analytical results. Provide a description of the method for making this verification and before ini-tial reac tor power operation provide the documentation required to establish that this verification has been accom- -

plished. ,

Response

I. Staff Position 1 - Additional Level of Underrar-Over Voltage Protec-

_ tion with a Time Delay.

The present design for Sequoyah does not include a second level of under or over voltage protection; however, TVA will modify the design to comply with Staff Position 1 and will install it during the first refueling outage of Unit 1.

ANALYSIS OF Tile SEQUOYAll NUCLEAR PLA!iT D:t,xGENCY POWER SYSTEM WITil RECARD TO DECRADED VOLTAGE CO:iDITIONS AT Tile OFFSITE POWER SOURCES

1. Description of Existing System The TVA Transmission System consists of a 500-kV and a 161-kV grid. One of the two nuclear units is connec ted to the 500-kV transmission sy stem, and the 'other unit to the 161-kV transmis-sion system.

Four 500-kV transmission lines connect one generating unit into the 500-kV system. Two of these lines a re to TVA's Wa tts Bar Nuclear Plant Switchyard, and one line each . to Widows Creek and Georgia Power Company's Bowen Plant Sw it chy ard s .

Pre ferred power to the emergency busses and to start up and shutdown the generating units at Sequoy ah is supplied by two physically and electrically independent connections from the 161-kV switchyard to the onsite elec trical distribution system.

The 161-kV switchyard is the terminus for the second nuclear unit, the 500-kV intertie bank, a nd ni ne 161-kV t ran sm i ss i oa lines. Two lines each are to TVA's Chickamauga llydro Plant Switchyard and Charle ston sub stations, and one line each to East Cleveland, Moc. .mu, anuc, concord substations and TVA's Watts Bar !!yd ro Plant Switchyard. Five of the 161-kV t ran sm i s s ion lines terminate on one bus section and the other four terminate on the other bus s ec t i on. As a result, any one of the 161-kV transmission lines terminating at Sequoyah has sufficient capacity to supply essential shutdova power.

Q8.33-5 July 28,1978

. In add i t i on to the n i ne connections with the TVA 161-kV grid, the 161-kV switchyard is connec ted to the unit 2 generator via the main trans f ormer bank 2 and to the 500-kV switchyard via a 1200 MVA, 500-161-kV intertle transformer. The Preferred <upply is also connec ted at the 6.9-kV unit board level to units 1 and 2 generators via the four unit station service t ra ns formers .

O M I T' Thehttachch Key Diagram ot the Stat ioa Auxiliary Power System (FSAR Eigure 8.1-2), shows the arrangement, source connections, -

and source ratings of the standby auxiliary power system, which includes the safety-related buses. Under normal plant operating l c o nd i t ion s , all safety and non-safety-related auxillaries asso-l ciated with the reac tors and turbine generator sets are supplied f rom the 22.5/6.9-kV unit station service t rans f ormers , which f are connec ted to each unit generator's output leads. Station aux i ii arie s consisting of nonsafety loads and systems a ssociated with the rest of the plant and common to both units are supplied

, f rom the L61/6.9-kV common station service t rans f ormers which are fed from the TVA system.

One common station service trans f ormer alone is capable of providing cont inuous power to the station cocaon auxiliaries plus one of the fo ll owing loads:

a. All the auxiliaries of one gcnerating unit in the starting mode,
b. All the auxiliaries of one generating unit in the shutdown mode.

Both common station servi.ce transformers collectively are capable o f providing continuous power to the stat ion co;maca auxiliaries plus all the auxiliaries of one genera ting unit operating at full load without its unit station service t r ans -

former together with all the auxiliaries of another unit in the starting mode, shutdown mode, or accident mode.

Safety related portions of the standby auxiliary power system for unit 1 (unit 2 identical) consist o f diesel genera tors IA-A and IB-B; 6.9-kV shutdown boards lA-A and IB-B; 6.9-kV/480V transformers lAl-A, IA-A, IA2-A, IB1-B, IB-3, and IB2-B; 480V Reactor MOV boards lAl-A, IA2-A, 131-B, as 4 IB2-B; 4SOV control and auxiliary building vent boards lAl-A, lA2-A, IB1-B, and IB2-B; 480V reac tor vent boards lAl-A and IB-B and 480V diesel auxili- ry b oards lAl-A, lA2-A, IB1-B, and IB2-B. The 6.9-kV shutdown boards supply the safety related loads of the standby

- auxiliary power sy stem. The unit 1 or unit 2 boards can receive power from any of the four following sources:

Q8.33-6 July 28, 1978

+ .. ,

1. The main genera tors th rough the unit station service trans-formers,
2. The 500-kV offsite power system through the common station transformers,
3. The 161-kV offsite power system through the common station service transformers. .
4. The onsite diesel-generators.

The shutdown boards receive power f rom the main genera tors af ter the generators are connected to the 500-kV grid for unit I and the 161-kV grid f or unit 2. The common station service t r ans-formers provide power to the shutdown boards when the main gene ra to rs a re s hu td own and p r i or to sy nch ron iz a t i on during startup. The of f site and onsite power supplies to the safety-related buses meet the requirements of General Design c ' terion 17.

The design of the Sequoyah .mxiliary power system is based upon ANSI Standard C84-1-1970, " Voltage Ratings f or Elec tric Power Sys te ms and Equipment ( 60 liz) ." The volt.nge range over which the sa f ety-rela ted components , and nonsa f e ty-rela ted components can operate continuously in the per formance of the ir design fu nc t i on is de fi ned in this standard. The minimum operating voltage for the 6900V system is 6560V and for the 480V syscem is 440V.

2. Voltage Conditions During !;ormal Unit Operations Q 6.M- 3. F igu re 08.34-1 shows the range of voltages at the safety-related buses during periods of narmal operation when those busses are being s upplied from the main generators. The lower curve shcas the normal voltage obtainable with the unit I main generator supplying a normal system load o f 1124 Mw plus 126 MVARS l e ad-ing. The upper curve is for the unit 2 main generator when supplying a normal system load of 1124 MW plus 29 MVARS lead-ing. The unit operator has this voltage control under his co= mand at a ll t imes .

Pre fau l t conditions determined from the typically normal trans-mission grid, transient and post fault c ond i t i ons follusing the loss are listed in the following table.

^9.33-7 July 28, 1978

  • SNP- 58 Postfault Prefault Transient Condition 0 Conditions Conditions Steady State System Frequency 60 Hz 59.9 Hz 60 Hz -

161-kV Switchyard 1.052 pu '1.015 pu 00+sec 1.04 pu Bus Voltage 1.0 pu G .6 sec 24-kV Generator 1.09 pu 0.0 pu 0.0 pu Terminal Voltage QY.33 -1. G833-L T4Nhi Figures Q8.34-2 and -Qfrale-3 demons t rate that the 161-kV of f site power sout ces are adequate to supply the power necessary for safe shutdown. These figures show the voltage profile at the safety-related buses for the worst case 161-kV system degradation.

4. Consequences of Sustained Degraded Voltage Conditions of the 161-kV Offsite Power Sources on the Safety-Related Euses During Normal Operation.

Voltage degradation of the 161-kV offsite power systen would 58 negate its capability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident. This degradation of the 161-kV system can be caused by any of several events, including the loss of the two offsite circuits, an unstable power system, or any condition that renders off site power unvailable for safe shutdown and emergency purpcoes. However, the voltage of the main generators would not be affected directly by degradation of the 161-kV offsite power. All systems necessary for safe opera-tion of the plant would continue to be powered from their normal onsite sources (the main generators). Sequoyah is designed to remain operating if the 161-kV offsite power sourc s are degraded. The plant could be shutdown gradually without requir-ing immediate dependence on the emergency diesel generators, a course of action in accordance with the philosophy expressed in Regulatory Guide 1.93. The diesel generators would bc availabic if degradation of offsite power occurs since there are voltage sensors that would initiate a start of all four diesels upon detection of voltage degradatien of the 161-kV offsite power system,

5. Consequences of Sustained Degraded Voltage Conditions of the Offsite Power Sources on the Safety-Related Buses sing the Staff Position 1 The Staff Position 1 is based upon the following:

"The offsite power systen is the common source which nor-cally supplies power to the redundant safety-related buses. Any transient or sustained degradation of this common source will be reficcted onto the onsite system's safety-related buses."

qs.33-8 December 22, 1978

.he Sequoy ah dr < i gn d oe s not utilize the 161-kV o f f si te power system to normally supply power to the redundant safety-related buses. The addit ion o f vol tage moni tors on the 161-kV o f f si te powe r sou rce s to au tomatically initiate the transfer of the sa f ety-re la ted buses to the onsite emergency power sy stem would, when actuated, cause a reac tor scram, containment isolation, an immed ia te need for decay heat remov a l , and immed ia te dependence upon the emergency diesel generators.

TVA be lieves that under ce rtain cond i.t ions , it will be safer to continue operation at full or reduced powe r for a limited time t han to e f f ec t an immed ia te s hu t d own due to deg radat ion of the 161-kV offsite powe r system. Since the main generators are ie normal source of power f or the redundant safety-related buses, shu tdown of the plant would remove this source. With the 161-kV .

o f f site. power sources deg rad ed , the plant would oe required to rely solely on the diesel generators. Therefore, TVA believes it is much more de s i rab le and safer to continue operation so that the normal power sources are retained. The diesel genera-tors would remain available as a backup, whereas plant shutdown would force reliance on the diesel generators with no further backup available.

6. Conclusions The addition of the second level of voltago pro;ec tion with a t ime delay is not nece ssary f or Sequoyah because:
a. Adequate capabilities and protec tive fe a t u re s have been incorpora ted in the or iginal de s ign.
h. It vould be safe to continue operation for a limited time than to e f f ec t an immed ia te s hu t d own oa the loss or degrada t ion of the 161-kV offsite power sources which are not normally supplying the safety-related buses.
c. The reactor operator has full control of the main generator that s upp lie s the safety-related buses during normal opera-tion.
d. The main generator has the capabili.ty of providing adequate voltage for the f u il range o f norma l op e ra t i on c ond i t i on s .
e. The offsite 161-kV power sources remaia stable and are capable of supplying the power nece ss ary for a safe shut-down after a two unit simultaneous loss of generation.

((. 4t_aff position 2 - Interaction of Onsite Power Supplies with Load Shed Feature.

The Sequoyah design fully complies with this position.

4. Fi gu re QS .34-2 shows the voltage pro file at the s a fe t y- re la t ed -

buses for full-load conditions and Figure QS.34-3 shows the no load voltage p ro file. Prior to plant operation, p re-op te s ts will be conduc ted to verify the adequacy of the design. During plant operation the system and bus voltages will be monitored to en su re proper range. Some of the measures that were used are summarized as fo ll ows :

1. TVA has selec ted voltage limits based upon ANSI Standard C84-1-1970.
2. The design of the system has been in accordance with the limi ts e stablished by C84.1.
3. Ut ilization equipment has been designed and rated to give fully sat is f ac tory per f ormance th ro ughou t the voltage range o f C84.1.

4, Grid stability studies have been performed to assure the limits of C84.1 are not exceeded.

5. The control room operator has been provided adequate information to keep the plant within acceptable operating limits in the form of lights, meters and annunciators.
6. Design changes will receive tl.a same review as the original design.
7. As s u ra nce that all these factors have been incorpora ted is provided by TVA's Quality Assurance Plan.
