LAST 100 VALID TESTS

  • TEST FREQUENCY ***

l 11 54 At least once per 31 days 12 15 At least once per 7 days **

  • Criteria for determining number of failures and number of valid tests shall be in accordance with Regulatory Position C.2.e of Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, August 1977, where the last 20 and 100 tests are determined on a per diesel generator basis.

For the purposes of this test schedule, only valid tests conducted after the Operating License issuance date shall be included in the computation of the "last 100 valid tests".

Entry into this test schedule shall be made at the 31 day test frequency.

Increased test frequency for one diesel generator shall not affect the test frequency for the remaining diesel generator, even under the STAGGERED TEST BASIS criteria.

    • This test frequency shall be maintained until seven consecutive failure-free demands have been performed and the number of failures in the last 20 valid demands has been reduced to one.
      • For purposes of determining the required test frequency, the previous test failure count may be reduced to zero if a complet.e diesel overhaul to like-new conditions is completed, prov'ded that the overhaul, including appropriate post-maintenance operation and testing, is specifically approved by the manufacturer and if acceptable reliability has been demonstrated.

The reliability criterion shall be successful completion of 14 consecutive tests in a single series; 10 of these tests shall be in accordance with Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2a.4,5 and 4 of these tests shall include the fast loading requirement described in the double-asterisked (**N. note to surveillance requirement 4.8.1.1.2a.5.

If this criterion is not satis-fied during the first series of tests, any alternate criterion used to -

trans-value the failure count to zero may only be implemented with prior approval by the NRC.

  1. The valid failure to start the "A" Train Diesel Generator on 08/20/91 due to the loss of the power dropping resistor in the governor circuitry is not to be ccunted toward the adjustment of test frequency for the "A" Train EDG, If the first 14-valid tests on the "A" Train EDG following the 08/20/91 failure do not result in a failure caused by the new power dropping resistor, the valid 08/20/91 failure is trans-valued to zero and this provision no longer applies.
