ABSTRACT The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has required all licensees to. analyze the electric power system at each nuclear station. This review is to deter-mine if the onsite distribution system, in conjunction with the offrite power sources, has sufficient capacity and capability to automatically start and operate all required safety loads within the equipment voltage ratings. This Technical Evaluation Report reviews the submittals for the Zion Station.

With one exception, the offsite power sources, in conjunction with the onsite distribution system, have been shown to have sufficient capacity and capability to automatically start, as well as continuously operate, all required safety related loads within the equipment rated voltage limits in the event of either an anticipated transient or an accident condition.

ADEQUACY OF STATION ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM VOLTAGES ZION STATION - UNIT NO. 1

1.0 INTRODUCTION

An event at the Arkansas Nuclear One station on September 16, 1978 is described in NRC IE Information Notice No. 79-04.

As a result of this event, station conformance to General Design Criteria (GDC) 17 is being questioned at all nuclear power stations. The NRC, in the generic letter of August 8, 1979, " Adequacy of Station Elcetric Distribution Systems Volt-ages," I required each licensee to confirm, by analysis, the adequacy of the voltage supplied each class IE load. The letter included 13 specific guide line s to be followed in determining if the voltage is adequate to start and continuously operate the class IE loads.

Commonwealth Edison Company (CECO) responded to the NRC letterl, for the Zion Station, with letters of November 1, 19792 (which included a report on this subject, written by Sargent & Lundy) and December 14, 1979.

3 Based on the information supplied by CECO, this report addresses the capacity and capability of the onsite distribution system of the Zion Station, in conjunction with the offsite power system, to maintain the voltage for tne required class lE equipment within acceptable limits for the worst-case starting and steady-state conditions. The Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR), additional analyses submitted on June 23, 1980,6 and August 18, 1980,3 telephone calls in July and August 1980,6 and a letter of September 14, 1976,7 complete the information reviewed for thir report.

2.0 DESIGN BASIS CRITERIA The positions applied in determining the acceptability of the offsite voltage conditions in supplying power to equipment are derived from the following:

1.

General Design Criterion 17 (GDC 17), " Electrical Power Systems," of Appendix A, " General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," of 10 CFR 50.

2.

General Design Criterion 5 (CDC 5), " Sharing of Struc-tures, Systems, and Components," of Appendix A, " General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," of 10 CFR 50.

3.

General Design Criterion 13 (GDC 13), " Instrumentation and Control," of Appendix A, " General Design Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants," of 10 CFR 50.

4.

Six review positions have been established from the NRC analysis guide-l 1

lines and the above-listed documents. These positions are stated in Section 5.

3.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION i

Section 8 of the Zion Station FSAR and the enclosures of references 2, 3, and 4 discuss the onsite distribution system. Figure 1, page 3 of this report, is a simplified sketch of the unit one-line diagram taken from the Sargent & Lundy report of reference 2.

Figurt I shows that, for Unit 1, the class IE 4160V buses 147, 148, and 149 are normally supplied power from auxiliary buses 142, 143, and 144, respectively. These three buses are connected via two station auxiliary transformer (SAT) secondary windings (a single transformer) to the 345kV switchyard. The Unit 2 distribution system is identical except for bus and transformer numbers.

The CECO analysis shows that one of the three class lE 4160V buses can be energized from the other unit SAT Z winding via an inter-tie connection that serves as a reserve source. The various breakers feeding each bus are interlocked so that no two sources can be connected together.) However, no interlocks exist to prevent two or three class IE 4160V buses from being energized at the same time by the inter-tie connection.

Each 4160V class lE bus supplies power for one 480V class lE bus via independent 4160/480V transformers.

120V vital buses are normally supplied power by four DC powered inverters 4 Technical Specifications limit reactor operation to 14 days should one inverter be out of service. Should a second inverter become inoperable during this 14-day period, immediate shutdown is required.

CECO supplied the equipment operating ranges identified in Table 1.

l Station 125V DC buses supply power for all class lE switchgear, except for 4 ROV MCC circuits which use individual control power transformers and cor. tac to rs.

l 4.0 ANALYSIS DESCRIPTION 4.1 Design Changes. CECO submitted analysis 3,4,5 based on the following proposed change. CECO will install automatic load shedding when l

both low voltage (440V) and a unit trip exist concurrently. The loads to l

be shed are two condensate booster pumpt and one circulating water pump.

l The discussion in this report and the values in Table 1 are on the basis that this change has been don?-

t 4.2 Analysis Conditions. CECO has used load-flow studies in deter-mining that the maximum 345kV switchyard voltage is 354kV and the minimum voltage is 343kV. The station auxiliary transformer was used for the analyses described. CECO determined that:

i 1.

The maximum expected load terminal voltage occurs when l

the switchyard voltage is maximum and there are no unit loads.

2.

The minimum expected continuous load terminal voltage occurs when the switchyard voltage is minimum and all buses are in service (except for loads shed due to unit l

trip).

j 3.

The minimum expected transient load terminal voltage occurs under the conditions of 2, concurrent with the start of a large load.

4.

The minimum continuous and transient voltages while using the unit inter-tie occur with a shutdown in the unit with offsite power and an accident in the unit i

being supplied by the inter-tie.

4.3 Analysis Results. Table 1 shows the worst case voltage levels identified in the CECO analyses. As can be seen from Table 1, the 4kV loads are operated within allowable voltage limits.

t Table 1 also shows that CECO has analyzed a potential voltage dip that i

could drop out those 460V loads that are operated by AC contactors. CECO

~

has not taken corrective measures.

4.4 Analysis Verification. The computer analysic was verified 3 by measuring, at both units, the grid and bus voltages, and the actual load of the buses and selected load terminal voltages while both units were shut j

down. Since the bus loads were light, a digital voltmeter (+0.01% accuracy) j was used to be sure that voltage drops could be measured. Analyses were done using the measured offsite source voltage, and the results compared with the measured bus voltages.

The_ comparison shows that the class 1E bus calculated voltages are within +0.54 and -0.65% of the measured bus voltages for both units. This l

close correlation verifies the adequacy of the analysis submitted.

5.0 EVALUATION l

Six review positions have been established from the NRC analysis guide-l lines l and the documents listed in Section 2.

Each review position is l.

stated below, followed by the evaluation of the licensee submittals.

Position 1--With the minimum expected offsite grid voltage and maximum l

load condition, each offsite source and distribution system connection combiniation must be capable of starting and of continuousty operating'all l

class lE equipment within the rated equipment voltages.

l CECO has shown that the minimum expected continuous class 1E bus volt-ages are within the rated capability of the class'1E equipment. Ceco has not demonstrated the capability of the safety related loads to operate 5

________.-_____.-----____.,.___-._-.._------.----___._-_.a__--_.__._------.-_----_--.-.-.___-.---__.--...u-

under all postulated transient voltage conditions; however, the loads shed when the contactor drops out would start again as the voltage recovers.6 Position 2--With the maximum expected offsite grid voltage and minimum load condition, each offsite source and distribution system connection combination must ce capable of continuously operating all class lE equip-ment without exceeding the rated equipment voltage.

CECO has shown, by analysis, that the voltage ratings of the class IE equipment, when connected, will not be exceeded.

Position 3--Loss of offsite power to either the redundant class IE distribution systems or the individual class IE loads, due to operation of voltage protection relays, must not occur when the offsite power source is within analyzed voltage limits.

EGSG Idaho, Inc., will verify, in a separate report, that the requirements of this position are satisfied (TAC Nos. 10061 and 10062).

Position 4--Test results should verify the accuracy of the voltage analyses supplied.

CECO has shown the calculations to be an accurate representation of the class lE buses and loads.

Position 5--No event or condition should resulc in the simultaneous or consequential loss of both required circuits from the offsite power network to the onsite distribution system (GDC 17).

CECO has analyzed the connections of the Zion Station to the offsite power grid, and has determined that no potential exists for the simultaneous or consequential loss of both circuits from the of fsite grid.

Position 6--As required by GDC 5, each offsite a

source shared between units in a multi-unit station must be capable of supplying adequate starting

[

and operating voltage for all required class lE Icads with an accident in one unit and an orderly shutdown and cooldown in the remaining units.

The unit transformers are connected independently to the offsite power grid. CECO has shown that the Z winding of one SAT supplies adequate starting and operating voltages to one of the three 4160V class lE buses of tne other unit if tne administrative procedare prohibiting the start of the electric steam generator feedwater pump is followed. CECO has not shown that more than one aus can be powered by this inter-tie.

a.

Section 8.1.1 of IEEE Standard 308 permits the use of a single source of offsite power to be shared between units of a multi-unit station.

6

6.0 CONCLUSION

S The analyses submitted by CECO for this review were evaluated in Section 5.0 of this report.

It was found that:

1.

CECO has not provided voltage analysis for the Z winding of one unit SAT supplying power to more than one class lE power system of the other unit, CECO should put limiting conditions of operation in the Zion Tech-nical Specifications to prevent the inter-tie frou powering more than a single 150V class lE bus.

Alter-natively, CECO could provide appropriate interlocking.

Voltages within the operating limits of the class lE equipment are supplied for all other projected combina-tions of plant load and offsite power grid conditions; including an accident in one unit and the safe shutdown of the other unit.

2.

The test used to verify the analysis shows the analyses to be an accurate representation of the worst case conditions enalyzed.

CECO has determined that no potential for either a 3.

simultaneous or consequential loss of both of fsite power sources exists.

EG&G Idaho, Inc., is performing a separate review of the undervoltage relay protection at the Zion Station. This will evaluate the relay set-points and time delays to determine that spurious tripping of the safety related loads will not occur with normal offsite source voltages.
