3/4.8.1. 3/4.8.2. and 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES. D.C. SOURCES. and ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribu-tion systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available

  • to supply the safety-related equipment required for:

(1) the safe shutdown of the facility, and (2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified independent and redundant A.C. and D.C.

power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the safety analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite A.C. and D.C.

power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss-of-offsite power and single failure of the other onsite A.C. source. The A.C. and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory Guide 1.93, " Availability of Electrical Power Sources," December 1974. When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices, that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE, and that the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump is OPERABLE. This require-ment is intended to provide assurance that a loss-of-offsite power event will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems during the period one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term, verify, as used in this c'ontext means to administrative 1y check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out-of-service for maintenance or other reasons.

It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component.

Action Statement

'b' Required Action Statement 'b' provides an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of the other operable diesel generator.

If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable diesel generator does not exist on the OPERABLE diesel generator, Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a.5 does not have to be performed.

If the cause of inoperability exists on the other OPERABLE diesel generator, the other OPERABLE diesel generator would be declared inoperable upon discovery and ACTION Statement

'f' would be entered and appropriate actions will be completed per ACTION Statement

'f'.

Once the failure is repaired, the comon cause failure no longer exists, and the required ACTION

'b' will be satisfied.

If the cause of the initial inoperable diesel generator can not be confirmed not to exist on the remaining diesel generator, performance of Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a 5 (within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> of entering ACTION Statement 'b') suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of the other diesel generator.

This continued evaluation, however, is no longer under the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> constraint imposed while in ACTION Statement

'b'.

According to Generic Letter 84-15, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is reasonable to confirm that the OPERABLE diesel generator is not affected by the same problem as the inoperable diesel generator.

4 Action Statement 'c' Required ACTION Statement 'c' provides an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of the other OPERABLE diesel generator.

If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable diesel generator does not exist on the operable i

diesel generator, Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a.5 does not have to be performed.

If the cause of inoperability exists on the other OPERABLE diesel generator, the other OPERABLE diesel generator would be declared inoperable upon discovery and ACTION Statement 'f' would be entered and appropriate actions will be completed per ACTION Statement

'f'.

Once the failure is repaired, the common cause failure no longer exists, and the required ACTION

'c' will be satisfied.

If the cause of the initial inoperable diesel generator can not be confirmed not to exist on the remaining diesel generator, performance of Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a.5 (within 8' hours.of entering ACTION Statement 'c') suffices to provide assurance of continued OPERABILITY of the other diesel generator.

In the event, the inoperable diesel generator is restored to operable status prior to determination of the cause of the inoperability of the diesel generator, NNECO will continue to evaluate the common cause possibility. This continued evaluation, however, is no longer under eight hours constraint imposed while in ACTION Statement 'c'.

The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that:

(1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods, and (2) sufficient instrumentation and control capa-bility is available ter monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

The Surveillance R2quirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are 19 accordance with the recomendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9, " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," Narch 10, 1971; 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, j

August 1977; and 1.137, " Fuel-011 Systems for Standby Diesel Generators,"

Revision 1, October 1979.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS RASES 3/4.8.1. 3/4.8.2. and 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES. D.C. SOURCES. and DNSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION Technical Specifications 3.8.1.1.b.1 and 3.8.1.2.b.1 require a minimum volume of 278 gallons be gontained in each of the diesel generator day tanks. This capacity ensures that a minimum usable volume of 189 gallons is available to permit operation of each of the diesel generators for approximately 27 minutes with the diesel generators loaded to the 2,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> rating of 5335 kW. The shutoff level for the (two) fuel oil transfer pumps is 493 gallons (413 gallons usable volume) which corresponds to approximately 60 minutes of engine operation at the 2,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> rating. The first pump has a make-up setpoint of 372 gallons (284 gallons usable volume) which corresponds to approximately 42 minutes of operation at the 2,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> rating. The 278 gallon day tank low level value corresponds to the auto make-up setpoint of the second pump and is therefore the lowest value of fuel oil with auto make-up capability.

Loss of the two redundant pumps would cause day tank level to drop below the minimum value.

Technical Specifications 3.8.1.1.b.2 and 3.8.1.2.b.2 require a minimum volume of 32,760 gallons be contained in each of the diesel generator's fuel storage systems. This capacity ensures that 2 minimum usable volume (29,180 gallons) is available to permit operation'of each of the diesel generators for approximately three days with the diesel generators loaded to the 2,000 hour0 days <br />0 hours <br />0 weeks <br />0 months <br /> rating of 5335 kW. The ability to cross-tie the diesel generator fuel oil supply tanks ensures that one diesel generator may operate up to approximately six days. Additional fuel oil can be supplied to the site within twenty-four hours after contacting a fuel oil supplier.
