SAFETY EVQ._UATION BY T!iE OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION SUPPORTING ARENDMENT NO. 50 TO FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR-38 AMENDMENT NO. 50 TO FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR 47 AMENDMENT NO. 47 TO FACILITY LICENSE NO. DPR-55 DUKE POWER COMPANY OCONEE NUCLEAR STATION, UNIT NOS. 1, 2 AND 3 DOCKET N05. 50-269, 50-270 AND 50-287 Introduction By letter dated October 13, 1976, as supplemented September 29, 1977, the Duke Povse Conpany (licensee) requested changes to the common Technical Specifications incorporated ir, the operating licenses of Units 1, 2 and 3 of the Oconee Nuclear Station.

Discussion The offsite power system for Oconee Nuclear Power Station, Units 1, 2 and 3 consists of six 230 kV transmission lines to the 230 kV station switch-yard and two 500 kV transmission lines to a 500 kV switchyard. Onsite power is provided by two 87.5 MVA hydroelectric generators available either through the 230 kV swit:hyard and the 45/60 MVA startup transfon ers or through a 13.3 kV underground feeder which utilizes its cwn 12/16/20 MVA transformer and supplies the 4160 V safety-related buses of the three un i ts.

In addition, one of the gas turbines located 30 miles away at the Lee Steam Station via an independent overhead 100 kV transmission system is available as standby to the onsite power system.

The use of the onsite Keowee Station with its two hydroelectric. generating units is under the direct control of the Oconee Nuclear Power Station and was originally reviewed and found acceptable as the onsite source of power for the Oconee Station.

During this evaluation, we considered the Lee Staticn's gas turbines and the dedicated 100 kV transmission circuit as a temorary substitute power source for use primarily during a period when the onsite hydro units are not available.
