Amendment No.52 (Unit 2) i

F McGuire Unit 2 Safety Evaluation in Support of Continued Power Operation With a Degraded Diesel Introduction The ability of the four McGuire D/Gs to provide emergency power is considered degraded in light of the failure of the turbo-charger associated with Diesel 2A. McGuire has decided to shutdown Unit 1.

It is desirable to continue power operation of Unit 2 in order to preserve the power generating capability of one unit. It is believed that continued operation is more desirable from an overall safety standpoint than a two unit shutdown.

This evaluation presents an analysis of the safety of continued power operation of Unit 2 for a limited period of time with the DGs considered inoperable.

Discussion With the DGs considered inoperable, the accident of concem is a loss of offsite power event. He existing McGuire PRA uses a LOOP frequency of 0.07 events per year. For a one day period, this frequency translates to 1.92E-04 per day. His frequency would be applicable to either unit (Unit I shutdown or Unit 2 at power).

If Unit 1 experiences a LOOP and the DGs are assumed failed, power can be made available by using the shared transformer (S ATA / SATB). It is assumed that the operator action to restore power on Unit I with the heightened awareness of the degraded DG condition and the time available to perform the action would be highly reliable (a value of 0.01 is assumed). For the purpose of this analysis, a value of 0.1 is assumed for the failme of Unit 2 to run back to supply power following a LOOP.

The probability oflosing all powe'r for Unit 1 is (Probability of a One Unit LOOP] x [ Probability of Failure to Cross Connect Power From Unit 2]

+ [ Probability of a 2 Unit LOOP] x [ Probability that Unit 2 Will Fail to Runback

+ Probability to Cross Connect Power from the Unit 2 Generator]

Using numbers in this expmssion gives:

-]

(0.07/yi] x [0.01] + (0.07/yr X 0.17] x [0.1 +0.01]

This gives: 7E-04 + 1.31E-03 = 2.01E-03/y = 5.5E-06per day

[ Probability of a One Unit LOOP] x [ Probability of Failure to Cross Connect f

Power From Unit 2]

+ [ Probability of a 2 Unit LOOP]

Using numbers in this expression gives:

[0.07/yr] x [0.01] + [0.07/yr X 0.17]

This gives: 7E-04 + 1.19E-02/yr = 1.26E 02/yr = 3.45E-05 per day Thus the probability of using Unit 2 for Unit 1 power is increased with the Unit allowed to operate.

s If Unit 2 is operating, the probability oflosing power on Unit 2 is:

i

[One Unit LOOP] x [ Unit 2 Fails to Run Back] x [ Cross Connect to Unit 1]

i

+ [2 Unit LOOP ] x [ Unit 2 Fails to Run Back]

Using numbers in the above expression g!ves-I 0.07/yr x 0.1 x 0.01 + 0.07/yr x 0.17 x 0.1 = 1.26E-03/yr = 3.45E 06 per day If the Unit is not operating, this becomes:

[One Unit LOOP] x [ Cross Connect to Unit 1]

+ [2 Unit L.OOP ]

Using numbers in the above expression gives:

O.07/yr x 0.01 + 0.07/yr x 0.17 =1.26E-02/yr= 3.45E-05 per day Thus for both units, the probability of losing AC power is reduced with one unit allowed to operate. The difference is 3.45B-05 per day for no units operating vs. 3.45E-06 per day for one unit operating.

This analysis has not taken credit for the recovery of offsite power, the CSF or the potential availability of the emergency diesel generators.

Conclusion m

With th'e degraded diesel generators, continued power operation of McGuire Unit 2 provides an additional source of AC power for the McGuire site and, thereby, reduces the probability of total loss of AC power to either unit. Such a mode of operation is more desirable from an overall safety standpoint. For both units, the probability of losing AC power is reduced with one unit allowed to operate. The difference is 3.45E-05 per day for no units operating vs. 3.45E-06 per day for one unit operating 45 5
