Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating BASES BACKGROUND The unit Class 1 E AC Electrical Power Distribution System AC sources consist of two offsite power sources (preferred power sources, normal and alternate), and the onsite standby power sources (diesel generators (DGs) A, B, C and D). A fifth diesel generator, DG E, can be used as a substitute for any one of the four DGs A, B, C or D. As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 17 (Ref. 1), the design of the AC electrical power system provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.
The Class 1 E AC distribution system is divided into redundant load groups, so loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each load group has connections to two preferred offsite power supplies and a single DG.
The two qualified circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1 E AC Electrical Power Distribution System are supported by two independent offsite power sources. A 230 kV line from the Susquehanna T1 O 230 kV switching station feeds start-up transformer No. 1 O; and, a 230 kV tap from the 500-230 kV tie line feeds the startup transformer No. 20. The term "qualified circuits," as used within TS 3.8.1, is synonymous with the term "physically independent."
The two independent offsite power sources are supplied to and are shared by both units. These two electrically.and physically separated circuits provide AC power, through startup transformers (ST) No. 10 and ST No. 20, to the four 4.16 kV Engineered Safeguards System (ESS) buses (A, B, C and D) for both Unit 1 and Unit 2. A detailed description of the offsite power network and circuits to the onsite Class 1 E ESS buses is found in the FSAR, Section 8.2 (Ref. 2).
An offsite circuit consists of all breakers, transformers, switches, automatic tap changers, interrupting devices, cabling, and controls required to transmit power from the offsite transmission network to the onsite Class 1 E ESS bus or buses.
SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-1
BASES BACKGROUND (continued)
Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 ST No. 1 O and ST No. 20 each provide the normal source of power to two of the four 4.16 kV ESS buses in each Unit and the alternate source of power to the remaining two 4.16 kV ESS buses in each Unit. If any 4.16 kV ESS bus loses power, an automatic transfer from the normal to the alternate occurs after the normal supply breaker trips.
When off-site power is available to the 4.16 kV ESS Buses following a LOCA signal, the required ESS loads will be sequenced onto the 4.16 kV ESS Buses in order to compensate for voltage drops in the onsite power" system when starting large ESS motors.
The onsite standby power source for4.16 kV ESS buses A, 8, C and D consists of five DGs. DGs A, B, C and D are dedicated to ESS buses A, 8, C and D, respectively. DG E can be used as a substitute for any one of the four DGs (A, B, C or D) to supply the associated ESS bus. Each DG provides standby power to two 4.16 kV ESS buses-one associated with Unit 1 and one associated with Unit 2. The four "required" DGs are those aligned to a 4.16 kV ESS bus to provide onsite standby power for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.
A DG, when aligned to an ESS bus, starts automatically on a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) signal (i.e., low reactor water level signal or high drywall pressure signal) or on an ESS bus degraded voltage or undervoltage signal. After the DG has started, it automatically ties to its respective bus after offsite power is tripped as a consequence of ESS bus undervoltage or degraded voltage, independent of or coincident with a LOCA signal. The DGs also start and operate in the standby mode without tying to the ESS bus on a LOCA signal alone. Following the trip of offsite power, non-permanent loads are stripped from the 4.16 kV ESS Buses. When a DG is tied to the ESS Bus, loads are then sequentially connected to their respective ESS Bus by indMdual load timers. The individual load timers control the starting permissive signal to motor breakers to prevent overloading the associated DG.
In the event of loss of normal and alternate offsite power supplies, the 4.16 kV ESS buses will shed all loads except the 480 V load centers and the standby diesel generators will connect to the ESS busses. When a DG is tied to its respective ESS bus, loads are then sequentially connected to the ESS bus by indMdual load timers which control the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG.
SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-2
BASES BACKGROUND (continued)
APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 In the event of a loss of nonnal and alternate offsite power supplies, the ESS electrical loads are automatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safe reactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (OBA) such as a LOCA.
Certain required plant loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequence in order to prevent overloading of the DGs in the process.
Within 286 seconds after the initiating signal is received, all automatic and pennanently connected loads needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe condition are returned to service. Ratings for the DGs satisfy the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).
DGs A, B, C and D have the following ratings:
- a. 4000 kW-continuous,
- b. 4700 kW-2000 hours, DG E has the following ratings:
- a. 5000 kW-continuous,
- b. 5500 kW-2000 hours.
The initial conditions of DBA and transient analyses in the FSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 4) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 5), assume ESF systems are OPERABLE. The AC electrical power sources are designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System (RCS), and containment design limits are not exceeded.
These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS);
and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.
The OPERABILITY of the AC electrical power sources is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and is based upon meeting the design basis of the unit and supporting safe shutdown of the other unit. This includes maintaining the onsite or offsite AC sources OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of an assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC power; and a worst case single failure.
AC sources satisfy Criterion 3 of the NRG Policy statement (Ref. 6).
SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-3
BASES LCO Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Two qualified circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1 E Distribution System and four separate and independent DGs (A, B, C ar:id D) ensure availability of the required power to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition after an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) or a postulated OBA DG E can be used as a substitute for any one of the four DGs A, B, C or D.
Qualified offsite circuits are those that are described in the FSAR, and are part of the licensing basis for the unit. In addition, the required automatic load timers for each ESF bus shall be OPERABLE.
The Safety Analysis for Unit 2 assumes the OPERABILITY of some equipment that receives power from Unit 1 AC Sources. Therefore, Unit 2 Technical Specifications establish requirements for the OPERABILITY of the DG(s) and qualified offsite circuits needed to support the Unit 1 onsite Class. 1 E AG electrical power distribution subsystem(s) required by LCO 3.8.7, Distribution Systems-Operating.
Each offsite circuit must be capable of maintaining rated frequency and voltage, and accepting required loads during an accident, while connected to the ESS buses.
One OPERABLE offsite circuit exists when all of the following conditions are met
- 2. The respective circuit path including energized ESS transformers 101 and 111 and feeder breakers capable of supplying three of the four 4.16 kV ESS Buses.
- 3.
Acceptable offsite grid voltage, defined as a voltage that is within the grid voltage requirements established for SSES.
The grid voltage requirements include both a minimum grid voltage and an allowable grid voltage drop during normal operation, and for a predicted voltage for a trip of the unit.
The Regional Transmission Operator (PJM), and/or the Transmission Power System Dispatcher; PPL EU, determine, monitor and report actual and/or contingency voltage (Predicted voltage) violations that occur for the SSES monitored offsite 230kV and 500kV buses.
SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-4
BASES LCO (continued)
Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 The offsite circuit is inoperable for ~my actual voltage violation, or a contingency voltage violation that occurs for a trip of a SSES unit, as reported by the transmission RTO or Transmission Power System Dispatcher.
The offsite circuit is operable for any other predicted grid event (i.e., loss of the most critical transmission line or the largest supply) that does not result from the generator trip of a SSES unit. These conditions do not represent an impact on SSES operation that has been caused by a LOCA and subsequent generator trip. The design basis does not require entry into LCOs for predicted grid conditions that can not result in a LOCA, delayed LOOP.
The other offsite circuit is Operable when all the following conditions are met:
- 2. The respective circuit path including energized ESS transfonners 201 and 211 and feeder breakers capable of supplying three of the four 4.16 kV ESS Buses.
- 3. Acceptable offsite grid voltage, defined as a voltage that is within the grid voltage requirements established for SSES.
The grid voltage requirements include both a minimum grid voltage and an allowable grid voltage drop during normal operation, and for a predicted voltage for a trip of the unit The Regional Transmission Operator (PJM), and/or the Transmission Power System Dispatcher, PPL EU, detennine, monitor and report actual and/or contingency voltage (Predicted voltage) violations that occur for the SSES monitored offsite 230kV and 500kV buses.
The offsite circuit is inoperable for any actual voltage violation, or a contingency voltage violation that occurs for a trip of a SSES unit, as reported by the transmission RTO or Transmission Power System Dispatcher.

BASES LCO
( continued)
Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 The offsite circuit is operable for any other predicted grid event (i.e., loss of the most critical transmission line or the largest supply) that does not result from the generator trip of a SSES unit. These conditions do not represent an impact on SSES operation that has been caused by a LOCA and subsequent generator tlip. The design basis does not require entry.into LCOs for predicted grid conditions that can not result in a LOCA, delayed LOOP.
Both offsite circuits are OPERABLE provided each meets the criteria described above and provided that no 4.16 kV ESS Bus has less than one OPERABLE offsite circuit capable of supplying the required loads. If no OPERABLE offsite circuit is capable of supplying any of the 4.16 kV ESS Buses, one offsite. source shall be declared Inoperable.
Four of the five DGs are required to be Operable to satisfy the initial assumptions of the accident analyses. Each required DG must be capable of starting, accelerating to rated speed and voltage, and connecting to its respective ESS bus on detection of bus undervoltage after the normal and alternate supply breakers open. This sequence must be accomplished within 1 O seconds. Each DG must also be capable of accepting required loads within the assumed loading sequence intervals, and must continue to operate until offsite power can be restored to the ESS buses. These capabilities are required to be met from a variety of initial conditions, such as DG in standby with the engine hot and DG in normal standby conditions. Normal standby conditions for a DG mean that the diesel engine oil is being continuously circulated and engine coolant is circulated as necessary to maintain temperature consistent with manufacturer recommendations. Additional DG capabilities must be demonstrated to meet required Surveillances, e.g.,
capability of the DG to revert to standby status on an ECCS signal while operating in parallel test mode.
Although not normally aligned as a required DG, DG E is normally maintained OPERABLE (i.e., Surveillance Testing completed) so that it can be used as a substitute for any one of the four DGs A, B, C or D.
Proper sequencing of loads, including tripping of nonessential loads, is a required function for DG OPERABILITY.

possible) of other AC sources. For the DGs, the separation and independence are complete. For the offsite AC sources, the separation and independence are to the extent practical. A circuit may be connected to more than one ESS bus, with automatic transfer capability to the other circuit OPERABLE, and not violate separation criteria. A circuit that is not connected to an ESS bus is required to have OPERABLE automatic transfer interlock mechanisms to each ESS bus to support OPERABILITY of that offsite circuit.
The AC sources are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 to ensure that
- a.
Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of AOOs or abnonnal transients; and
- b.
Adequate core cooling is provided and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated DBA.
The AC power requirements for MODES 4.and 5 are covered in LCO 3.8.2, "AC Sources-Shutdown."
A Note prohibits the application of LCO 3.0.4.b to an inoperable DG.
There is an increased risk associated with entering a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability wtth an inoperable DG and the provisions of LCO 3.0.4.b, which allow entry into a MODE or other specified condition in the Applicability with the LCO not met after performance of a risk assessment addressing inoperable systems and components, should not be applied in this circumstance.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with one offsite circuit inoperable, it is necessary to verify the availability of the remaining required offsite circuit on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met. However, if a second required circuit fails SR 3.8.1.1, the second offsita circuit is inoperable, and Condition C, for two offsite circuits inoperable, is entered.
A.2 Required Action A.2, which only applies if one 4.16 kV ESS bus cannot be powered from any offsite source1 is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure of the associated DG does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems. These features (e,g. 1 system, subsystem, division, component, or device) are designed to be powered from redundant safety related 4.16 kV ESS buses. Redundant required features failures consist of inoperable features associated with an emergency bus redundant to the emergency bus that has no offsite power. The Completion Time for Required Action A.2 is intended to allow time for the operator to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows an exception to the normal '11:ime zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this Required Action, the Completion Time only begins on discovery that both:
- a.
A 4.16 kV ESS bus has no offsite power supplying its loads; and
- b.
A redundant required feature on another 4.16 kV ESS bus is inoperable.
If, at any time during the existence of this Condition ( one offsite circuit inoperable) a required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this Completion Time would begin to be tracked.
Discovering no offsite power to one 4.16 kV ESS bus on the onsite Class 1 E Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with any other emergency bus that has offsite power, results in starting the Completion Times for the Required Action. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before the unit is subjected to transients associated with shutdown.

To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with one required DG inoperable, it is necessary to verify the availability of the required offsite circuits on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perfonTI, 11 a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action being not met.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Required Action B.2 is intended to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a DG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems. These features are designed with redundant safety related divisions (i.e., single dMsion systems are not included). Redundant required features failures consist of inoperable features associated with a division redundant to the division that has an inoperable DG.
The Completion Time is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the nonnal time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this Required Action the Completion llme only begins on discovery that both:
- a.
An inoperable DG exists; and
- b.
A required feature powered from another diesel generator (Division 1 or 2) is inoperable.
If, at any time during the existence of this Condition ( one required DG inoperable), a required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this Completion Time begins to be tracked.
Discovering one required DG inoperable coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the OPERABLE DGs results in starting the Completion Time for the Required Action. Four hours from the discovery of these events existing concurrently is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.
The remaining OPERABLE DGs and offsite circuits are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Class 1 E Distribution System.

( continued) 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Required Action 8.3.1 provides an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of OPERABLE DGs. If it can be determined that the. cause of the inoperable DG does not exist on the OPERABLE DG, SR 3.8.1. 7 does not have to be performed. If the cause of inoperability exists on other DG(s), they are declared inoperable upon discovery, and Condition E of LCO 3.8.1 is entered. Once the failure is repaired, and the common cause failure no longer exists, Required Action 8.3.1 is satisfied. If the cause of the initial inoperable DG cannot be determined not to exist on the remaining DG(s), performance of SR 3.8.1.7 suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of those DGs.
However, the second Completion Time for Required Action 8.3.2 allows a performance of SR 3.8.1. 7 completed up to 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> prior to entering Condition B to be accepted as demonstration that a DG is not inoperable due to a common cause failure.
In the event the inoperable DG Is restored to OPERABLE status prior to completing either 8.3.1 or 8.3.2, the plant corrective action program will continue to evaluate the common cause PQSSibility. This continued evaluation, however, is no longer under the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> constraint imposed while in Condition B.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Required Action C.1 addresses actions to be taken in the event of concurrent inoperability of two offsite circuits. The Completion Time for Required Action C.1 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilitles.
According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 7), operation may continue in Condition C for a period that should not exceed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This level of degradation means that the offsite electrical power system does not have the capability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident; however, the onsite AC sources have not been degraded. This level of degradation generally corresponds to a total loss of the immediately accessible offsite power sources.
Because of the normally high availability of the offsite sources, this level of degradation may appear to be more severe than other combinations of two AC sources inoperable that involve one or more DGs inoperable.
However, two factors tend to decrease the severity of this degradation level:
- a.
The configuration of the redundant AC elecbical power system that remains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure; and
- b.
The time required to detect and restore an unavailable offsite power source is generally much less than that required to detect and restore an unavailable onsite AC source.
Wrth both of the required offsite circuits inoperable, sufficient onsite AC sources are available to maintain the unit in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a OBA or transient In fact, a simultaneous loss of offsite AC sources, a LOCA, and a worst case single failure were postulated as a part of the design basis in the safety analysis. Thus, the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time provides a period of time to effect restoration of one of the offsite circuits commensurate with the importance of maintaining an AC electrical power system capable of meeting its design criteria.
According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 7), with the available offsite AC sources two less than required by the LCO, operation may continue for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

D.1 and D.2 Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System Actions would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resulting in de-energization. Therefore, the Required Actions of Condition D are modified by a Note to indicate that when Condition D is entered wit), no AC source to any ESS bus, Actions for LCO 3.8.7, "Disbibution Systems-Operating," must be immediately entered. This allows Condition D to provide requirements for the loss of the offsite circuit and one DG without regard to whether a division is de-energized. LCO 3.8. 7 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized bus.

In Condition D, individual redundancy is lost in both the offsite elecbical power system and the onsite AC electrical power system. Since power system redundancy is provided by two diverse sources of power, however, the reliability of the power systems in this Condition may appear higher than that In Condition C (loss of boin required offsite circuits). This difference in reliability is offset by the susceptibility of this power system configuration to a single bus or switching failure. The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.
Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a OBA occurring during this period.
Wrth two or more DGs inoperable and all assumed loss of offsite electrical power, insufficient *standby AC sources are available to power the minimum required ESF functions. Since the offsite electrical power system is the only source of AC power for the majority of ESF equipment at this level of degradation, the risk associated with continued operation for a very short time could be less than that associated with an immediate controlled shutdown. (The immediate shutdown could cause grid instability, which co1:1ld result in a total loss of AC power.) Since any inadvertent unit generator trip could also result in a total loss of offsite AC power,.however, the time allowed for continued operation is severely restricted. The intent here is to avoid the risk associated with an immediate controlled shutdown and to minimize the risk associated with this level of degradation.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 7), with two or more DGs inoperable, operation may continue for a period that should not exceed 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.
F.1 and F.2 If the inoperable AC electrical power sources cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.
Condition G corresponds to a level of degradation in which all redundancy in the AC electrical power supplies has been lost At this severely degraded level, any further losses in the AC electrical power system will cause.a loss of function. Therefore, no additional time is justified for continued operation. The unit is required by LCO 3.0.3 to commence a controlled shutdown.
The AC sources are designed to permit inspection and testing of all important areas and features, especially those that have a standby function, in accordance with 10 CFR 50, GDC 18 (Ref. 9). Periodic component tests are supplemented by extensive functional tests during refueling outages (under simulated accident conditions). The SRs for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the DGs are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), and Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref. 11), as addressed in the FSAR.
The Safety Analysis for Unit 2 assumes the OPERABILITY of some equipment that receives power from Unit 1 AC Sources. Therefore, Surveillance requirements are established for the Unit 1 onsite Class 1 E AC electrical power distribution subsystem(s) required to support Unit 2 by LCO 3.8.7, Distribution Systems-Operating. The Unit 1 SRs required to support Unit 2 are identified in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Where the SRs discussed herein specify voltage and frequency tolerances, the following summary is applicable. The minimum steady state output voltage of 4000 V represents the value that will allow the degraded voltage relays to reset after actuation. This value is based on the upper value of the degraded voltage relay reset voltage of 3938 V, representing 94.68% of 4160 V, plus the worst-case voltage drop from the DG to an associated 4.16 kV switchgear bus. The specified maximum steady state output voltage of 4400 V is equal to the maximum operating voltage specified for 4000 V. It ensures that for a lightly loaded distribution system, the voltage at the terminals of 4000 V motors is no more than the maximum rated operating voltages.
The minimum frequency value is derived from the recommendations found in Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The allowable steady state frequency for all DGs is 60 Hz +/-2%. DG E is also required to maintain a frequency of not less than 57 Hi: during transient conditions.
To provide additional margin for DG E to meet the 57 t--lz criteria, the 2%
margin allowed for steady state frequency is further reduced to 1 %, or 0.6 Hz. This value, added to the tolerance allowed for the DG's electronic governor (0.1 Hz) provides the 59.3 Hz minimum frequency value applicable for all DGs.
The maximum frequency is derived from analysis based on an iterative approach using voltage and frequency variations of the DG to determine the maximum continuous loading on the DG such that the DG loading does not exceed its continuous rating and still performs its design function. Through a qualitative estimation and a dynamic transient simulation, the maximum frequency meeting the iterative approach is 60.5 Hz.
The Surveillance Table has been modified by a Note, to clarify the testing requirements associated with DG E. The Note is necessary to define the intent of the Surveillance Requirements associated with the integration of DG E. Specifically, the Note defines that a DG is only considered OPERABLE and required when it is aligned to the Class 1 E distribution system. For example, if DG A does not meet the requirements of a specific SR, but DG E is substituted for DG A and aligned to the Class 1 E dlstributioh system, DG E is required to be OPERABLE to satisfy the LCO requirement of 4 DGs and DG A is not required to be OPERABLE because it is not aligned to the Class 1 E distribution system. This is acceptable because only 4 DGs are assumed in the event analysis.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Furthermore, the Note identifies when the Surveillance Requirements, as modified by SR Notes, have been met and performed, DG E can be substituted for any other DG and declared OPERABLE after performance of two SRs which verify switch alignment. This is acceptable because the testing r99imen defined in the Surveillance Requirement Table ensures DG E is fully capable of performing all DG requirements.
SR 3.8.1.1 This SR ensures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distlibution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power. The breaker alignment verifies that each breaker is in its correct position to ensure that distribution buses and loads are connected to an Operable offsite power source and that appropriate independence of offsite circuits is maintained. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.8.1.2 Not Used.
SR 3.8.1.3 This Surveillance verifies that the DGs are capable of synchronizing and accepting greater than or equal to the equivalent of the maximum expected accident loads. A minimum run time of 60 minutes is required to stabilize el')gine temperatures, while minimizing the time that the DG is connected to the offsite source.
Although no power factor requirements are established by this SR, the DG is normally operated at a power factor between 0.8 lagging and 1.0.
The 0.8 value is the design rating of the machine, while 1.0 is an operational limitation to ensure circulating currents are minimized. The load band is provided to avoid routine overloading of the DG. Routine overloading may result in more frequent teardown inspections in accordance with vendor recommendations in order to maintain DG OPERABILITY.
Note 1 modifies this Surveillance to indicate that diesel engine runs for this Surveillance may include gradual loading, as recommended by the Cooper Bessemer Service Bulletin 728, so that mechanical stress and wear on the diesel engine are minimized.

Note 3 indicates that this Surveillance should be conducted on only one DG at a time in order to avoid common cause failures that might result from offsite circuit or grid perturbations.
Note 4 stipulates a prerequisite requirement for performance of this SR.
A successful DG start must precede this test to credit satisfactory performance.
Note 5 provides the allowance that DG E, when not aligned as substitute for DG A, B, C and D but being maintained available, may use the test facility to satisfy loading requirements in lieu of synchronizatior:i with an ESS bus.
Note 6 allows a single test (instead of two tests, one for each unit) to satisfy the requirements for both units, with the DG synchronized to the 4.16 kV ESS bus of Unit 1 for one periodic test and synchronized to the 4.16 kV ESS bus of Unit 2 during the ne?(t periodic tesl This is acceptable because the purpose of the test is to demonstrate the ability of the DG to operate at its continuous rating (with the exception of DG E which is only required to be tested at the continuous rating of DGs A through D) and this attribute is tested at the required Frequency. Each unit's circuit breakers and breaker control circuitry, which are only being tested every second test (due to the staggering of the tests), historically have a very low failure rate. If a DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to -0nly one unit. In addition, if the test is scheduled to be performed on the other Unit, and the other Unit's TS allowance that provides an exception to performing the test is used (i.e., the Note to SR 3.8.2.1 for the other Unit provides an exception to performing this test when the other Unit is in MODE 4 or 5, or moving irradiated fuel assemblies in the secondary containment}, or it is not possible to perform the test due to equipment availabililty, then the test shall be performed synchronized to this Unit's 4.16 kV ESS bus.

The level is expressed as an equivalent volume in gallons, and is selected to ensure adequate fuel oil for a minimum of 55 minutes of DG A-D and 62 minutes of DG E operation at DG continuous rated load conditions.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance, Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.8.1.5 Microbiological fouling is a major cause of fuel oil degradation. There are numerous bacteria that can grow in fuel oil and cause fouling, but all must have a water environment in order to survive. Removal of water from the engine mounted day tanks eliminates the necessary environment for bacterial survival. This is the most effective means of controlling microbiological fouling. In addition, it eliminates the potential for water entrainment in the fuel oil during DG operation. Water may come from any of several sources, including condensation, ground water, rain water, contaminated fuel oil, and breakdown of the fuel oil by bacteria. Frequent checking for and removal of accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data regarding the watertight integrity of the fuel oil system. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.8.1.6 This Surveillance demonstrates that each required fuel oil transfer pump operates and transfers fuel oil from its associated storage tank to its associated day tank.

SR 3.8.1.7 Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 This SR helps to ensure the availability of the standby electrical power supply to mitigate DBAs and transients and maintain the unit in a safe shutdown condition.
To minimize the wear on moving parts that do not get lubricated when the engine is not running, this SR has been modified by Note 1 to indicate that all DG starts for these Surveillances may be preceded by an engine prelube period (which for DGs A through D includes operation of the lube oil system to ensure the DGs turbo charger is sufficiently prelubicated to prevent undo wear and tear).
For the purposes of this testing, the DGs are started from standby conditions. Standby conditions for a DG mean that the diesel engine oil is being continuously circulated and diesel engine coolant is being*
circulated as necessary to maintain temperature consistent with manufacturer recommendations. The DG starts from standby conditions and achieves the minimum required voltage and frequency within 10 seconds and maintains the required voltage and frequency when steady state conditions are reached. The 1 O second start requirement supports the assumptions in the design basis LOCA analysis of FSAR, Section 6.3 (Ref. 12).
To minimize testing of the DGs, Note 2 allows a single test to satisfy the requirements for both units (instead of two tests, one for each unit). This is acceptable because this test is intended to demonstrate attributes of the DG that are not associated with either Unit. If the DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to one unit.
The time for the DG to reach steady state operation is periodically monitored and the trend evaluated to identify degradation.

SR 3.8.1.8 (continued)
Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is that, during operation with the reactor critical, performance of the automatic transfer of the unit power supply could cause perturbations to the electrical distribution systems that could challenge continued steady state operation and, as a result, plant safety systems. The manual transfer of unit power supply should not result in any perturbation to the electrical distribution system, therefore, no mode restriction is specified. This Surveillance tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 1. The comparable test specified in Unit 2 Technical Specifications tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 2. Consequently, a test must be performed within the specified Frequency for each unit. As the Surveillance represents separate tests, the Note specifying the restriction for not performing the test while the unit is in MODE 1 or 2 does not have applicability to Unit 2. The NOTE only applies to Unit 1, thus the Unit 1 Surveillance shall not be performed with Unit 1 in MODE 1 or 2.
SR 3.8.1.9 Each DG is provided with an engine overspeed trip to prevent damage to the engine. Recovery from the transient caused by the loss of a large load could cause diesel engine overspeed, which, if excessive, might result in a trip of the engine. This Surveillance demonstrates the DG load response characteristics and capability to reject the largest single load without exceeding predetermined voltage and frequency and while maintaining a specified margin to the overspeed bip. The largest single load for each DG is a residual heat removal (RHR) pump (1425 kW).
This Surveillance may be accomplished by:
- a.
Tripping the DG output breaker with the DG carrying greater than or equal to its associated single largest post-accident load while paralleled to offsite power, or while solely supplying the bus; or
- b.
Tripping its associated single largest post-accident load with the DG solely supplying the bus.
As recommended by Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), the load rejection test is acceptable if the increase in diesel speed does not exceed 75% of the difference between synchronous speed and the overspeed bip setpoint, or 15% above synchronous speed, whichever is lower. For DGs A, B, C, D and E, this represents 64.5 Hz, equivalent to 75% of the difference between nominal speed and the overspeed trip setpoint.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 The time, voltage, and frequency tolerances specified in this SR are derived from Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3) recommendations for response during load sequence intervals. The 4.5 seconds specified is equal to 60% of the 7.5 second load sequence interval between loading of the RHR and core spray pumps during an undervoltage on the bus concurrent with a LOCA The 6 seconds specified is equal to 80% of that load sequence interval. The voltage and frequency specified are consistent with the design range of the equipment powered by the DG.
SR 3.8.1.9.a corresponds to the maximum frequency excursion, while SR 3.8.1.9.b and SR 3.8.1.9..c specify the steady state voltage and frequency values to which the system must recover following load rejection.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
To minimize testing of the DGs, a Note allows a single test to satisfy the requirements for both units (instead of two tests, one for each unit). This is acceptable because this test is intended to demonstrate attributes of the DG that are not associated with either Unit. If the DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to only one unit.
SR 3.8.1.10 This Surveillance demonstrates the DG capability to reject a full load without overspeed tripping or exceeding the predetermined voltage limits.
The DG full load rejection may occur because of a system fault or inadvertent breaker tripping. This Surveillance ensures proper engine generator load response under the simulated test conditions. This test simulates the loss of the total connected load that the DG experiences following a full load rejection and verifies that the DG does not trip upon loss of the load. These acceptance criteria provide DG damage protection. While the DG is not expected to experience this transient during an event, and continues to be available, this response ensures that the DG is not degraded for Mure application, including reconnection to the bus if the trip initiator can be corrected or isolated.

This is acceptable because this test is intended to demonstrate attributes of the DG that are not associated with either Unit. If the DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to only one unit.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
SR 3.8.1.11 As required by Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), this Surveillance demonstrates the as designed operation of the standby power sources during loss of the offsite source. This test verifies all actions encountered from the loss of offsite power, including shedding of the nonessential loads and energization of the ESS buses and respective 4.16kV loads from the DG. It further demonstrates the capability of the DG to automatically achieve and maintain the required voltage and frequency within the specified time.
The DG auto-start time of 1 O seconds is derived from requirements of the licensed accident analysis for responding to a design basis large break LOCA. The Surveillance should be continued for a minimum of 5 minutes in order to demonstrate that all starting transients have decayed and stability has been achieved.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This SR is modified by three Notes. The reason for Note 1 is to minimize wear and tear on the DGs during testing. Note 1 allows all DG starts to be preceded by an engine prelube period (which for DGs A through D includes operation of the lube oil system to ensure the DG's turbo charger is sufficiently prelubricated). For the purpose of this testing, the DGs shall be started from standby conditions that is, with the engine oil being continuously circulated and engine coolant being circulated as necessary to maintain temperature consistent with manufacturer recommendations.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 This SR is also modified by Note 2. The Note specifies when this SR is required to be perfonned for the DGs and the 4.16 kV ESS Buses. The Note is necessary because this SR involves an integrated test between the DGs and the 4.16 kV ESS Buses and the need for the testing regimen to include DG E being tested (substituted for all DGs for both Units) with all 4.16 kV ESS Buses. To ensure the necessary testing is performed, two rotational testing regimens have been established; one for components that are required to be tested every 24 months and one for components that have had their test frequency extended to 24 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS or 48 months in accordance with the Surveillance Frequen~y Control Program. The two rotational testing regimens are given below. The second testing regimen is referred to as the 48 Month Testing Regimen for simplicity but is also applicable to components that are tested at 24 months on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS.

This SR does not have to be performed with the normally aligned DG when the associated 4.16 kV ESS bus is tested using DG E and DG E does not need to be tested when not substituted or aligned to the Class 1 E distribution system. The allowances specified in the Note are acceptable because the tested attributes of each of the five DGs and each unit's four 4.16 kV ESS buses are verified at the specified Frequency (i.e., each DG and each 4.16 kV ESS bus is tested at a frequency controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program).

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 result in some circuit pathways which do not need to change state (i.e.,
cabling) not being tested at the frequency established in accordance with the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. This is acceptable because these components are not required to change state to perform their safety function and when substituted-normal operation of DG E will ensure continuity of most of the cabling not tested.
The reason for Note 3 is that performing the Surveillance would remove a required offsite circuit from service, perturb the electrical distribution system, and challenge safety systems. This Surveillance tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 1. The comparable test specified in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 2. Consequently, a test must be performed within the specified Frequency for each unit. As the Surveillance represents separate tests, the Note specifying the restriction for not performing the test while the unit Is in MODE 1, 2, or 3 does not have applicability to Unit.2. The Note only applies to Unit 1, thus the Unit 1 Surveillances shall not be performed wtth Unit 1 in MODES 1, 2 or 3.
SR 3.8.1.12 This Surveillance demonstrates that the DG automatically starts and achieves the required voltage and frequency within the specified time (10 seconds) from the design basis actuation signal (LOCA signaQ and operates for~ 5 minutes. The 5 minute period provides sufficient time to demonstrate stability. SR 3.8.1.12.d and SR 3.8.1.12.e ensure that permanently connected loads and emergency loads are energized from the offsite electrical power system on a LOCA signal without loss of offsite power.
The requirement to verify the connection and power supply of permanent and autoconnected loads is intended to satisfactorily show the relationship of these loads to the loading logic for loading onto offsite power. In certain circumstances, many of these loads cannot actually be connected or loaded without undue hardship or potential for undesired operation. For instance, ECCS injection valves are not desired to be stroked open, high pressure injection systems are not capable of being operated at full flow, or RHR systems performing a decay heat removal function are not desired to be realigned to the ECCS mode of operation.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 loads, testing that adequately shows the capability of the DG system to perform these functions Is acceptable. This testing may include any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire connection and loading sequence is verified. SR 3.8.1.12.a through SR 3.8.1.12.d are performed with the DG running. SR 3.8.1.12.e can be performed when the DG Is not running.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This SR is modified by two Notes. The reason for Note 1 is to minimize wear and tear on the DGs during testing. Note 1 allows all DG starts to be preceded by an engine prelube period (which for DG A through D includes operation of the lube oil system to ensure the DG's turbo-charger is sufficiently prelubricated). For the purpose of this testing, the DGs must be started from standby conditions that is, with the engine oil being continuously circulated and engine coolant being circulated as necessary to maintain temperature consistent with manufacturer recommendations.
The reason for Note 2 is to allow DG E, when not aligned as substitute for DG A, B, C or D to use the test facility to satisfy loading requirements in lieu of aligning with the Class 1 E distribution system. When tested in this configuration, DG E satisfies the requirements of this test by completion of SR 3.8.1.12.a, band c only. SR 3.8.1.12.d and 3.8.1.12.e may be performed by any DG aligned with the Class 1 E distribution system or by any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire connection and loading sequence is verified.
SR 3.8.1.13 This surveillance demonstrates that DG non-critical protective functions (e.g., high jacket water temperature) are bypassed on an ECCS initiation test signal. The non-critical trips are bypassed during DBAs and provide an alarm on an abnormal engine condition. This alarm provides the operator with sufficient time to react appropriately. The DG availability to mitigate the OBA is more critical than protecting the engine against minor problems that are not immediately detrimental to emergency operation of the DG.

This is acceptable because this test is intended to demonstrate attributes of the DG that are not associated with either Unit. If the DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to only one unit.
Note 2 provides the allowance that DG E, when not aligned as a substitute for DG A, B, C, and D but being maintained available, may use a simulated ECCS initiation signal.
SR 3.8.1.14 Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), requires demonstration that the DGs can start and run continuously at full load capability for an interval of not less than 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />s-22 hours of which is at a load equivalent to 90% to 100%

SR 3.8.1.15 This Surveillance demonstrates that the diesel engine can restart from a hot condition, such as subsequent to shutdown from full load temperatures, and achieve the required voltage and frequency within 10 seconds. The 10 second time is derived from the requirements of the accident analysis to respond to a design basis large break LOCA.

If the DG fails this Surveillance, the DG should be considered inoperable for both units, unless the cause of the failure can be directly related to only one unit.
SR 3.8.1.16 As required by Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), this Surveillance ensures that the manual synchronization and automatic load transfer from the DG to the offsite source can be made and that the DG can be returned to ready-to-load status when offsite power is restored. It also ensures that the auto-start logic is reset to allow the DG to reload if a subsequent loss of offsite power occurs. The DG is considered to be in ready-to-load status when the DG is at rated speed and voltage, the DG controls are in isochronous and the output breaker is open.
In order to meet his Surveillance Requirement, the Operators must have the capability to manually transfer loads from the D/Gs to the offsite sources. Therefore, in order to accomplish this transfer and meet this Surveillance Requirement, the synchronizing selector switch must be functional. (see ACT-1723538).
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This SR is modified by a note to accommodate the testing regimen necessary for DG E. See SR 3.8.1.11 for the Bases of the Note.
SR 3.8.1.17 Demonstration of the test mode override ensures that the DG availability under accident conditions is not compromised as the result of testing.
Interlocks to the LOCA sensing circuits cause the DG to automatically reset to ready-to-load operation if an ECCS initiation signal is received during operation in the test mode. Ready-to-load operation is defined as the DG running at rated speed and voltage, the DG controls in isochronous and the DG output breaker open.

SR 3.8.1.17 ( continued)
Rev. 12 AC Sources -Operating B 3.8.1 The requirement to automatically energize the emergency loads with offsite power is essentially identical to that of SR 3.8.1.12. The intent in the requirements associated with SR 3.8.1.17.b is to show that the emergency loading is not affected by the DG operation in test mode. In lieu of actual demonstration of connection and loading of loads, testing that adequately shows the capability of the emergency loads to perform these functions is acceptable. This test is performed by verifying that after the DG is tripped, the offsite source originally in parallel with the DG, remains connected to the affected 4.16 kV ESS Bus. SR 3.8.1.12 is performed separately to verify the proper offsite loading sequence.
The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This SR is modified by a note to accommodate the testing regimen necessary for DG E. See SR 3.8.1.11 for the Bases of the Note.
SR 3.8.1.18 Under accident conditions, loads are sequentially connected to the bus by individual load timers which control the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading of the AC Sources due to high motor.starting currents. The load sequence time interval tolerance ensures that sufficient time exists for the AC Source to restore frequency and voltage prior to applying the next load and that safety analysis assumptions regarding ESF equipment time delays are not violated.
Reference 2 provides a summary of the automatic loading of ESS buses.
A list of the required timers and the associated setpoints are included in the Bases as Table B 3.8.1-1, Unit 1 and Unit 2 Load Timers. Failure of a timer Identified as an offsite power timer may result in both offsite sources being inoperable. Failure of a*ny other timer may result in the associated DG being inoperable. A timer is considered failed for this SR if it will not ensure that the associated load will energize within the Allowable Value in Table B 3.8.1-1. These conditions will require entry into applicable Conditions of this specification. Wrth a load timer inoperable, the load can be rendered inoperable to restore OPERABILITY to the associated AC sources. In this condition, the Condition and Required Actions of the associated specification shall be entered for the equipment rendered inoperable.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 This SR is modified by a Note that specifies that load timers associated with equipment that has automatic initiation capability disabled are not required to be Operable. This is acceptable because if the load does not start automatically, the adverse effects of an improper loading sequence are eliminated. Furthermore, load timers are associated with individual timers such that a single timer only affects a single load.
SR 3.8.1.19 In the event of a OBA coincident with a loss of offsite power, the DGs are required to supply the necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, RCS, and containment design limits are not exceeded.
This Surveillance demonstrates DG operation, as discussed ir:i the Bases for SR 3.8.1.11, during a loss of offsite power actuation test signal in conjunction.with an ECCS initiation signal. In lieu of actual demonstration of connection and loading of loads, testing that adequately shows the capability of the DG system to perform these functions is acceptable. This testing may include any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire connection and loading sequence is verified. To simulate the non-LOCA unit 4.16 kV ESS Bus loads on the DG, bounding loads are energized on the tested 4.16 kV ESS Bus after all auto connected energizing !oads are energized.

Rev. 12 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 Note 2 is necessary to accommodate the testing regimen associated with DG E. See SR 3.8.1.11 for the Bases of the Note.
The reason for Note 3 is that performing the Surveillance would remove a required offsite circuit from service, perturb the electrical distribution system, and challenge safety systems. This Surveillance tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 1. The comparable test specified in the Unit 2 Technical Specifications tests the applicable logic associated with Unit 2. Consequently, a test must be performed within the specified Frequency for each unit. As the Surveillance represents separate tests, the Note specifying the restriction for not performing the test while the unit is in MODE 1, 2 or 3 does not have applicability to Unit 2. The Note only applies to Unit 1, thus the Unit 1 Surveillances shall not be performed with Unit 1 in MODE 1, 2 or 3.
SR 3.8.1.20 This Surveillance demonstrates that the DG starting independence has not been compromised. Also, this Surveillance demonstrates that each engine can achieve proper speed within the specified time when the DGs are started simultaneously. The Surveillance Frequency is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.
This SR is modified by two Notes. The reason for Note 1 is to minimize wear on the DG during testing. The Note allows all DG starts to be preceded by an engine prelube period (which for DGs A through D includes operation of the lube oil system to ensure the DG's turbo charger is sufficiently prelubricated).

Note 2 is necessary to identify that this test does not have to be performed with DG E substituted for any DG. The allowance is acceptable based on the design of the DG E transfer switches. The transfer of control, protection, indication, and alarms is by switches at two separate locations. These switches provide a double break between DG E and the redundant system within the transfer switch panel. The transfer of power is through circuit breakers at two separate locations for each redundant system. There are four SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-32

Rev.3 Distribution Systems-Operating B 3.8.7 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8. 7 Disbibution Systems---Operating BASES BACKGROUND APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES The onsite Class 1 E AC and DC electrical power distribution system is divided into redundant and independent AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems and a DG E electrical power distribution subsystem.
The primary AC distribution system consists of four 4.16 kV Engineered Safeguards System (ESS) buses each haVing a primary and alternate offsite source of power as well as an onsite diesel generator (DG) source that supports one 4.16 kV ESS bus in each unit. Each 4.16 kV ESS bus is normally supplied by either startup Transfonner (ST) No. 1 O or ST No.
- 20. ST No. 10 and ST No. 20 each provide the normal source of power to two of the four 4.16 kV ESS buses in each Unit and the alternate source of power to the remaining two 4.16 kV ESS buses in each Unit. If any 4.16 kV ESS bus loses power, an automatic transfer from the nortnal to the alternate occurs after the normal supply breaker trips. If both offsite sources are unavailable, the onsite emergency DGs supply power to the 4.16 kV ESS buses.
There are.two 250 VDC electrical power distribution subsystems, four 125 VDG electrical power distribution subsystems, and one 125 VDC DG E electrical power distribution subsystem, all of which support the necessary power for ESF functions.
In addition, some components required by Unit 2 receive power through Unit 1 electrical power distribution subsystems, the Unit 1 AC and DC electrical power distiibution subsystems needed to support the required equipment are addressed in Unit 2 LCO 3.8.7.
Required distribution subsystems are listed in LCO 3.8.7, Table 3.8.7-1.
The initial conditions of Design Basis Accident (DBA) and transient analyses in the FSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 1) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 2),
assume ESF systems are OPERABLE. The AC and DC electrical power distribution systems are designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and ~eliabillty to ensure the availability of necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System, and containment design limits are not exceeded. These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-78
BASES APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES (continued)
LCO Rev. 3 Distribution Systems-Operating B 3.8.7 for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6 Containment Systems.
The OPERABILITY of the AC and DC elecbical power disbibution subsystems is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and is based upon meeting the design basis of the unit. This includes maintaining distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of:
- a.
An assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC electrical power; and
- b.
A worst case single failure.
The AC and DC elecbical power distribution system satisfies Criterion 3 of the NRC Policy Statement (Ref. 4).
The required electrical power disbibution subsystems listed in Table 3.8.7-1 ensure the availability of AC and DC electrical power for the systems required to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe condition after an anticipated operational occurrence (AOO) or a postulated OBA The AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems are required to be OPERABLE.
Maintaining the AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystems OPERABLE ensures that the redundancy incorporated into the design of ESF is not defeated. Therefore, a single failure within any system or within the electrical power distribution subsystems will not prevent safe shutdown of the reactor.
AC electrical power distribution subsystems require the associated buses and electrical circuits to be energized to their proper voltages. DC electrical power distribution subsystems require the associated buses to be energized to their proper voltage from either the associated battery or charger. The AC and DC electrical power distribution subsystem is only considered Inoperable when the subsystem is not energized to its proper voltage.
SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-79
BASES APPLICABILITY ACTIONS Rev.3 Distribution Systems-Operating B 3.8.7 The electrical power distribution subsystems are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, and 3 to ensure that:
- a.
Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of AOOs or abnonnal transients; and
- b.
Adequate core cooling is provided, and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated OBA Electrical power distribution subsystem requirements for MODES 4 and 5 are covered in the Bases for LCO 3.8.8, "Distribution Systems-Shutdown."
Wrth one or more required AC buses, load centers, motor control centers, or distribution panels inoperable but not resulting in a loss of safety function, the remaining AC electrical power distribution subsystems are capable of supporting the minimum safety functions necessary to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, assuming no single failure. The overall reliability is reduced, however, because a single failure in the remaining power distribution subsystems could result in the minimum required ESF functions not being supported. Therefore, the required AC buses, load centers, motor control centers, and distribution panels must be restored to OPERABLE status within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
The Condition A worst scenario is one dMsion without AC power (i.e., no offsite power to the division and the associated DG inoperable). In this Condition, the unit is more vulnerable to a complete loss of AC power. It is, therefore, imperative that the unit operators' attention be focused on minimizing the potential for loss of power to the remaining division by stabilizing the unit, and on restoring power to the affected division. The 8 hour9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> time limit before requiring a unit shutdown in this Condition is acceptable because:
- a.
There is a potential for decreased safety if the attention of unit operators is diverted from the evaluations and actions necessary to restore power to the affected dMsion to the actions associated with taking the unit to shutdown within this time limit.

- b.
The potential for an event in conjunction with a single failure of a redundant component in the dMsion with AC power. (The redundant component is verified OPERABLE in accordance with Specification 5.5.11, "Safety Function Determination Program (SFDP).")
Condition A is modified by a Note that states that Condition A is not applicable to the DG E DC electrical power subsystem. Condition Dor E is applicable to an inoperable DG E DC electrical power subsystem.
Required Action A.1 is modified by a Note that requires the applicable Conditions and Required Actions of LCO 3.8.4 "DC Sources - Operating,"
to be entered for DC subsystems made inoperable by inoperable AC electrical power distribution subsystems. This is ah exception to LCO 3.0.6 and ensures the proper actions are taken for inoperable DC sources. lnoperability of a distribution subsystem can result in loss of charging power to batteries and eventual loss of DC power. This Note ensures that the appropriate attention is given to restoring charging power to batteries, if necessary, after loss of distribution systems.
Wrth one or more Unit 1 DC buses inoperable, the remaining DC electrical power disbibutlon subsystems may be capable of supporting the minimum safety functions necessary to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition, assuming no single failure. The overall reliability is reduced, however, because a single failure in one of the remaining DC electrical power distribution subsystems could result in the minimum required ESF functions not being supported. Therefore, the required DC buses must be restored to OPERABLE status within 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> by powering the bus from the associated battery or charger.
Condition B represents one subsystem or multiple DC buses without adequate DC power, potentially with both the battery significantly degraded and the associated charger non-functioning. In this situation the plant is significantly more vulnerable to a loss of minimally required DC power. It is, therefore, imperative that the operator's attention focus on stabilizing the plant, minimizing the potential for loss of power to the remaining divisions, and restoring power to the affected dMsion.

Taking exception to LCO 3.0.2 for components without adequate DC power, which would have Required Action Completion Times shorter than 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />, is acceptable because of:
- a.
The potential for decreased safety when requiring a change in plant conditions (i.e., requiring a shutdown) while not allowing stable operations to continue;,
- b.
The potential for decreased safety when requiring entry into numerous applicable Conditions and Required Actions for components without DC power, while not providing sufficient time for the operators to perform the necessary evaluations and actions for restoring power to the affected dMsion;
- c.
The potential for an event in conjunction with a single failure of a redundant component The 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> Completion Time for DC buses is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 3).
Condition B is modified by a Note that states that Condition B is not applicable to the DG E DC electrical power subsystem. Condition D or E is applicable to an inoperable DG E DC electrical power subsystem.
C.1 and C.2 If the inoperable disbibutfon *subsystem cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within the associated Completion Time, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the plant must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 4 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required plant conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging plant systems.

Rev. 3 Distribution Systems-Operating B 3.8.7 If Diesel Generator E is not aligned to the Class 1 E distribution system, the only supported safety function is for the ESW system. Therefore, under this condition, if Diesel Generator E DC power distribution subsystem is not OPERABLE, to ensure the OPERABILITY of the ESW system, actions are taken to either restore the power distribution subsystem to OPERABLE status or shutdown Diesel Generator E and close the associated ESW valves. The 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> limit is consistent with the allowed time for other inoperable DC power distribution subsystems and provides sufficient time to evaluate the condition and take the corrective actions.
If the Diesel Generator E is aligned to the class 1 E distribution system, the loss of Diesel Generator E DC power distribution subsystem will result in the loss of a on-site class 1 E power source. Therefore, under this condition, if Diesel Generator E DC power distribution subsystem is not OPERABLE actions are taken to either restore the power distribution subsystem to OPERABLE status or declare Diesel Generator E inoperable and take Actions of LCO 3.8.1. The 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> limit is consistent with the allowed time for other DC sources and provides sufficient time to evaluate the condition and take the necessary corrective actions.
.Ll Condition F corresponds to a level of degradation in the electrical distribution system that causes a required safety function to be lost.
When more than one AC or DC electrical power distribution subsystem is lost, and this results in the loss of a required function, the plant is in a condition outside the accident analysis. Therefore, no additional time is justified for continued operation. LCO 3.0.3 must be entered immediately to commence a controlled shutdown. Entry into Condition F is not required if the loss of safety function is the result of entry into Condition A in combination with the loss of safety functions governed by LCOs other than LCO 3.8.7. In this case, enter LCO 3.8.7, Condition A, and the Condition for loss of function in the LCO that governs the safety function that is lost.
