SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.7.11.1 The fire suppression water system shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
At least once per 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS by starting each a.
electric motor driven pump and operating it for at least 15 minutes on recirculation flow.

d.
At least once per 12 months by cycling each testable valve in the flow path through at least one complete cycle of full travel.
At least once per 18 months by performing a system functional test e.
which includes simulated automatic actuation of the system throughout its operating sequence, and:
1.
Verifying that each automatic valve in the flow path actuates to its correct position, 2.
Verifying that each pump develops at least 1653 gpm at a system head of 338 feet, 3.
Cycling each valve in the flow path that is not testable during plant operation through at least one complete cycle of full travel, and 4.
Verifying that the No. 1 fire pump starts to maintain the fire suppression water system pressure greater than or equal to 125 psig and that the No. 2 fire pump also starts automatically within 10 1 2 seconds when the fire suppression water system is not maintained greater than or equal to 125 psig by the No. 1 pump.
f.
At least once per 3 years by performing a flow test of the system in accordance with Chapter 5, Section 11 of the Fire Protection Handbook, 14th Edition, published by the National Fire Protection Association.
