Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1

• B 3.8 B 3.8.1 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS AC Sources - Operating BASES BACKGROUND . The unit Class 1E 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 1E 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 1E AC Electrical Power Distribution System are supported by two independent offsite power sources. A 230 kV line from the Susquehanna T10 230 kV switching station feeds start-up transformer No. 1O; 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.JI 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. 1O 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 1E ESS buses is found in the FSAR, Section 8.2 (Ref. 2).

An offsite circuit consists of all bre~kers, transformers, switches,

. automatic tap changers, interrupting devices, cabling, and controls required to transmit power from the offsite transmission network to the onsite Class 1E ESS bus or buses .

• SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-1

Rev. 13 Ac Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES BACKGROUND ST No. 1O and ST No. 20 each provide the normal source of power to (continued) two of the four 4.16 kV ESS buses i11 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 for 4.16 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 drywell 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 ~SS Buses. When a DG is tied to the ESS Bus, loads are then sequentially connected to their respective ESS Bus by individual 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 individual load timers which control the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG .

• SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-2

Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1

• BASES BACKGROUND (continued)

In the event of a loss of normal 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 (DBA) 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 permanently connected loads needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe cqndition 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 followin~ ratings:

a. 5000 kW-continuous,

b. 5500 kW-2000 hours .

• APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSES The initiai conditions of DBA and transient anafyses 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 analy"ses 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 NRC Policy Statement (Ref. 6) .

• SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-3

Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1

• BASES LCO Two qualified circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E Distribution System and four separate and independent DGs (A, B,* C and 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 DBA 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 1E AC electrical power distribution subsystem(s) required by LCO 3.8'.7, Distribution Systems-Operati ng.

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:

1. An energized ST. No. 10 transformer with the load tap changer (LTC) in*automatic operation.

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

• Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES LCO The offsite circuit is inoperable for any actual voltage violation, (continued) 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 des*ign 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:

1. An energized ST. No. 20 transformer with the load tap changer (LTC) in automatic operation.

• 2. The respective circuit path including energized ESS transformers 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 volfage 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 a~tual 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.

• SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-5

Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1

• BASES LCO (continued)

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.

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 acco.mplished within 10 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.

• SUSQUEHANNA - UNIT 1 3.8-6

Rev. 13 AC Sources - Operating

. B 3.8.1

• BASES LCO (continued)

The AC sources must be separate and independent (to the extent 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 interlo.ck mechanisms to each ESS bus to support OPERABILITY of that offsite circuit.

APPLICABILITY 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 .

abnormal transients; and

b. Adequate core cooling is provided and containment OPERABILITY and other Vital functions are maintained in the

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 offsite circuit is inoperable, and Condition C, for two offsite circuits inoperable, is entered.

Required Action A.2, which only applies if one 4.16 kV ESS bus cannot be powered from any offsite source, is intended tC? 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., 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 "tirr1e 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 1E 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 .

Required Action 8.2 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 division 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 normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this Required Action the Completion Time only begins on discovery that bott,:

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 Rt3quired 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.

• BASES ACTIONS (continued) 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 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 satjsfied. 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 possibility.

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 inoperabilities.

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 ari 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.

b.

The configuration of the redundant AC el_ectrical power system that remains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure; and

• 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.

With 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 si11gle 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.

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 with rio AC source to any ESS bus, Actions for LCO 3.8. 7, "Distribution Systems-Operating," must be immedi~tely 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 electrical 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 both required offsite circuits). This difference in reliability is offset by the susceptibility of this power system configuration to a single. bus or switching failure ..

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.

With two or more DGs inoperable and an 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 thi~ 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 shutdo~n could cause grid instability, which could 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 .

• BASES SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 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 (continued) allow the degraded voltage relays to reset after actuation. This value is b*ased 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 Hz during transient conditions.

To provide additional margin for DG E to meet the 57 Hz 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 1E 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 1E distribution 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 1E distribution system. This is acceptable because only 4 DGs are assumed in the event analysis .

SR 3.8.1.1 This SR ensures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distribution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power.

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 engine 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

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 next periodic test. 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.

SR 3.8.1.7 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 e*ngine 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 10 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 demons!i-ate 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,

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 trip 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 noniinal speed and the overspeed trip setpoint.

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 gener<;1tor 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 future application, including reconnection to the bus if the trip. initiator can be corrected. or isolated .

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 10 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 arid 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 .

This SR is also modified by Note 2. The Note specifies when this SR is required to* be performed 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, the following rotational testing regimen has been established:

SR 3.8.1.11 (continued)

The specified rotational testing regimen can be altered to facilitate unanticipated events which render the testing regimen impractical to implement, but any alternative testing regimen must provide an equivalent level of testing. 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 (Le., each DG and each 4.16 kV ESS bus is tested at a frequency controlled under the Surveillance Frequency C_ontrol Program). The testing allowances do 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--nofmal 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 assoc!ated 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 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 signal) and operates for~ 5 minutes. The 5 minute period provides sufficient time to demonstrate stability. SR 3.8.1.1 id 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.

SR 3.8.1.12 (continued)

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 undesir~d 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.

lh lieu of actual demonstration of the connection and loading of these 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.

SR 3.8.1.13 This Surveillance demonstrates that DG non-critical protective functions (e.g., high jacket water temperature) are bypassed on an ~CCS 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.

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 .

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. Th_ese provisions for autom~tic switchover are required by IEEE-308 (Ref. 10),

paragraph 6.2.6(2).

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 emerge*ncy 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. .I 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

Note 2 is necessary to accommodate the testing regimen associated with DG E. See SR 3. 8.1.11 for the Bases of t_he Note.

The r~ason 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.

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 normally empty switch gear positions at DG E facility, associated with each of the four existing DGs. Only one circuit breaker is available at this location to be inserted into one of the four positions. At each of the existing DGs, there are two switchgear positions with only one circuit breaker available. This design provides two open circuits between redundant power sources. Therefore, based on the described design, it can be concluded that DG redundancy and independence is maintained regardless of whether DG E is substituted for any other DG .
