A.2. Under abnormal conditions 4ne1 ding Blich Pignt- et:rtup, one reactor may be. l}

made critical providing the following conditions are met: q

a. One 345 KV transmission =line is in service; or the gas turbine is-operating,
b. The 345/13.8 liv and_ the 13. 8/4'.~16 KV station auxiliary transformers
                    'ssociated with the unit to be taken crit,1 cal'are,in service;.or'the-          1 sociated 13.8/4.16 KV station auxiliary transformer is in: service      ,

and the gas turbine is. operating.- '!

c. Reactor power level is limited to 50% rated power until 2 or_more  !

transmission lines are restored to service'.- i

d. A80 Volt buses 803 and B04- for;the unit to be _ taken critical' are-energized,
e. 4160 Volt buses A03, A04, A05, and A06=for the unit-to be taken-critical are energized.- j
f. A fuel supply of 11,000 gallons is available; and both diesel generators are operable. l
g. =All four batteries and.their associated'DC systems are operable. -
h. Four battery chargers are operable with one charger carrying the DC .;

loads of each DC main distribution bus.  ! B.1 During power operation of one-or both reactors, the requirements lof- l 15.3.7.A.1 may be modified to allow'the following arrangements-of systems. n and components:

                                                                                                        -i
a. If-the 345 KV lines are reduced to only one,-any: operating reactor (s) ,

must be promptly reduced to, and limited to,- 50% power. If all 345 KV l lines are lost, any operating reactor (s) will be' reduced to supp1'ying  ! its auxiliary load, until one or more 345 KV transmission lines are again available. I

b. If both 345/13.8' KV auxiliary transformers are out of service and only the gas turbine is operating, only one reactor will remain operating  !

and it will be limited to 50% power. The second reactor will be placed u. che hot shutdown condition. 9009120089 900907 POR ADOCKO'500g6 P ' Unit 1 - Amendment No. 87 15.3.7 March 1, 1985 l Unit 2 - Amendment No. 92

swing safety-related battery expected by the end of.1992. Basis ' l The tests specified are designed to-demonstrate that the diesel generators will l provide power for operation of equipment. They also assure that the emergency generator system controls and the acntrol systems for the ' safeguards equipment-will function automatically in tne event' of a l'ossiof'all normal! ACLstation service power. 7 The testing frequency specifisd will-be often enough to identify and correct any ( mechanical or electrical deficiency before it can result'in' a system failure. l The fuel supply and starting circuits and controls are continuously monitored and any faults are alarm indicated. ~ An abnormal . condition in these' systems  ! would be signaled without having to place the diesel gen'erators themselves on test. Station batteries will deteriorate with time, but' precipitous failure is q extremely unlikely. The surveillance specified is that which has been demonstrated over the years to provide an indication of a cell becoming

                    -unserviceable long'before it fails.

15.4.6-3

U -, : If a battery cell: has deteriorated orrif a' connection is loose ~,lthe voltage'

     ,        under load will drop excessively indicating replacement.or maintenance.

L ,; i A Service Test performed at least every 18 months demonstrates adequate battery ) capacity to supply power to loads required during the most demanding duty- i cycle. This design: duty cycle occurs upon a single-unit trip coincident with a loss of all A.C. power. l 4

             -A Performance Test conducted at least every 60 months is a constant discharge-rate capacity test which; allows comparison.with the manufacturer's: rating of the battery.. This test is the best indicator of the effect of aging on battery capacity. Provision is made to change this test periodicity to annual when~ the           ,

battery is degraded or has reached a point in its service life beyond.which capacity decrease with time is accelerated. Operability is satisfactorily demonstrated by achieving a capacity of at least 80% manufacturer's rating. l l l Reference FSAR, Section 8.2
