3.9 D,ne s :

A.

The ob ertive nf the annillary electric pnwer availability specific.ilinn is to assure that adequate power t

will be available in operate the emergency safeguards equipnent.

Adeepsate power can be provided by any o.ie of the fullowing pnwer sources; one 345 kv line, the 23 kv system, the gas turbine-generator l

and the diesel generator.

This specification assures that at least two offsite and two onsite power sources will be aval}able before the reactor is started up.

In adelitinn to assuring power source nperability, all cf the associated switch-qear and vital equipment must be operable as specified to assure that the emergency cooling equipment can be operated, if required, from the power sources. Operating with less than 3646 volts on the 4160-volt electrical system may endanger equipments or systems at the 480-volt level.

4160-vol t equi pnent is 3620 volts.

The limiting voltage for thnmally, three 345 kv lines will be available to provide energency power to the piant when the reactor is B.

opera t ing.

e 16; wever, adequate luwer is available with only one 345 kv line in service.

Therefore, reactor operation is permitted for up to seven days with only one 345 kv line in service to acconmodate qecessary ma intenance, etc.

In the event that all 345 kv lines are out of service, continued reactor operation is permitted provide'd both onsite emergency power sources are operating with an adequate fuel supply. Two opera tional pcwer snurces provide an adequate assurance of energency power availability under these circumstances.

In addition, the isolation condenser systen is required to be operable as a standby heat removal system.

Normally both the gas turbina-generator and diesel generator are required to be operable to assure adequate emergency power with no offsite power sources. Ilowever, due to the redundancy and reliability of offsite pnwer, one of the two emergency onsite power sources may be out of service for limited periods of time pro-viding two offsite power sources are available during these periuds.

C.

tither of the two station batterles has enough capability to energize the vital buses and power the other emergency equipment. Due to the high reliability nf battery systems, one of the two batteries may be out of service for up to 7 days. This minimizes the probability of unwarranted shutdowns by providing adequate time for reasonable repairs.

D.

The diesel fuel supply of 20,000 gallons will supply the diesel generator with about five days of full load operation.

The gas turbine generator fuel supply of 35,000 gallons is sufficient to operate the unit for at least two and one-half days considering the fuel consumption vs. load and load vs. time requirenents during the postulated accident. Reference Amendment 111. Additional fuel can be supplied to the site within twelve hours.

Amendment No. Jg D 3/4 9-1

]

4.9 Bases

.b A.

The monthly test of the diesel generator and gas turbine generator is conducted to check for equipment failures and deterioration.

Testing is conducted up to equilibrium operating conditions to demonstrate proper operation at these conditions.

Operation of the gas turbine generator for peaking purposes may substitute for the monthly performance check.

The units will be manually started, synchronized to the bus and load picked up.

Generator experience at other generating stations indicates that the testing frequency is adequate to assure a high reliability of operation should the system be required.

In additiun, I

during the test when the generator is synchronized to the bus, it is also synchronized to the of f-site power source and thus, not completely independent of this source.

To maintain the maximum amount of independence, a thirty-day testing interval is also desirable.

Both the diesel generator and the gas turbine generator have air compressors and air receiver tanks for starting.

It is expected that the air compressors will run only infrequently.

During the monthly check of the units, the receivers will be drawn down below the point at which the compressor automatically starts to check operation and the ability of the compressors to recharge the receivers.

Pressure indicators are provided on each of the receivers.

Following the tests or peaking operation of the units and at least weekly, the fuel volume remaining will be checked.

At the end of the monthly load test of the diesel generator, the fuel oil transfer pump will be operated to refill the day tank and to check the operation of this pump.

Peaking operation shall be controlled so that major maintenance operations on the gas turbine will not be scheduled during an operating cycle.

The test of the diesel and gas turbine generators during the refueling outage will be more comprehensive in that it will functionally test the system; i.e., it will check starting and closure of breakers and sequencing of loads.

The units will be started by simulation of a loss of coolant accident.

In addition, a loss of normal power condition will be imposed to simulate a loss of off-site power.

Operation of the degraded voltage / loss-of-normal power scheme will be checked.

The timing sequence will be checked to assure proper loading in the time required.

Periodic tests between refueling outages check the capability of the units to run at full load.

Periodic testing of the various components plus a functional test at a refueling interval are sufficient to maintain adequate reliability.

B.

Although the station and switchyard batteries will gradually deteriorate with time, the surveillance specified is that which will provide an indication of all degradation long before the battery would have insufficient capacity to meet the design load which could be placed upon it.

Ba ttery cell replaccments will be made in accordance with Section 6 of 7J.EE Standard 450-1972, " Battery Replacement Criteria".

C.

Logging the diesel and gas turbine generator fuel supply weekly and after each operation assures that the minimum fuel supply requirements will be maintained.

D.

Verifying the degraded voltage setpoint will assure that the preferred offsite power supply (RSST) is tripped, under accident conditions, at that value of degraded voltage where safeguards actions can no longer be assured due to low offsite voltage, d
