3.5.3 ENGINEERED SAFECUARDS PROTECTION SYSTEM ACTUATION SETPOINTS Applicability:

This specification applies to the engineered safeguards protection system actuation setpoints.

Objective:

To provide for automatic initiation of the engineered safeguards protection system in the event of a breach of Reactor Coolant System integrity.

Specification:

3.5.3.1 The enginected safeguards protection system actuation setpoints and permissible bypasses shall be as follows:

Initiating Signal Function Setpoint High Reactor Building Reactor Building Spray < 30 psig Pressure (1)

High-Pressure Injection j[ 4 psig Low-Pressure Injection j[ 4 psig Start Reactor Building Cooling & Reactor Building Isolation < 4 psig Low Reactor Coolant High Pressure Injection > 1500(2) and

e  :. -

(3) May be bypassed below 900 psig and is automatically reinstated above 900 psig.

(4) Minimum. allowed setting is 3560 v. Maximum allowed setting is 3650 v.

(5) Minimum allowed time is 8 sec. muimum allowed time is 12 sec.

(6) Minimum allowed setting is 2200 volts, maximum allowed setting is 2860 volts.

(7) Minimum allowed time is (1.0) second, maximum allowed time is (2.0) seconds.

Bases High Reactor Building Pressure The basis for the 30 psig and 4 psig setpoints for~the high pressure signal is to establish a setting which would be reached in adequate time such that protection is provided for the entire spectrum of break sizes and is far enough above normal containment internal pressures to prevent spurious initiation.

Low Reactor Coolant System Pressure The basis for the 1500 and 500 psig low reactor coolant pressure setpoint for high and low pressure injection initiation is to establish a value which is high enough such that protection is provided for the entire spectrum to break sizes and is far enough below normal operating pressure to prevent spurious initiation.

4.16 KV ES Bus Undervoltage Relays The basis for the degraded grid voltage relay setpoint is to protect the safety related electrical equipment from loss of function in the event of a sustained degraded voltage condition en the offsite power system. The 61mer setting prevents spurious transfer to the onsite source for transient conditions.

The loss of voltage relay and timers detect loss of offsite power condition and initiate tranufer to the onsite source with minimal time delay.

7_: gg -

~2 Obj ective:

To verify that the emergency power system will respond promptly and properly when required.

Specification:

The following tests and surveillance shall be performed as stated:

4.6.1 Diesel Generators __

a. Manually-initiated start of the diesel generator, followed by manual synchronization with other power sources and assumption of load by the diesel generator up to the name-plate rating (3000 kw). This test will be conducted every month on each diesel generator. Normal plant operation will not be affected.

b. Automatically start and loading the emergency diesel generator in accordance with specification 4.5.1.1.b/c including the following:

(1) Verify that the diesel generator starts from ambient condition upon receipt of the ES signal and is ready to load in i 10 seconds.

(2) Verify that the diesel block loads upon simulated loss of offsite power in 1 30 seconds.

(3) The diesel operates with the permanently connected and auto connected load for > 5 minutes.

(4) The diesel engine does not trip when the generator breaker is opened while carrying emergency loads.

(5) The diesel generator block loads and operates for > 5 minutes upon reclosure of the diesel generator breaker.

c. Each diesel generator shall be given an inspection at least annually in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations for this class of stand-by service.

4.6.2 Station Batteries

a. The voltage, specific gravity, and liquid level of each cell will be measured and recorded mcathly.

_a b. The voltage and specific gravity of a pilot cell will be rgg, measured and recorded weekly.
