The OPERABILITY of the A.C.

and D.C.

power sources and associated distribution 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 Criteria 17 of Appendix "A" to 10 CFR 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 degraiation. The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the safety analyses and are based upon maintaining c* least one of the onsite A.C.

and the corresponding 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.

or D.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 as modified by plant specific analysis and diesel generator manufacturer recommendations. When two diesel generators are inoperable, there is an additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, trains, componente and devices, that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generators as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE. This requirement 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 two or more of the diesel generators are inoperable.

The term verify as used in this context means to administratively 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.

The primary intent of the extended AOT is that the extended EDG AOT from 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />

to 14 days may be needed to perform preplanned EDG maintenance such as teardowns and modifications that would otherwise extend beyond the original 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> AOT.

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 capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

The surveillance requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9,

" Selection of Diesel Oc'erator Set Capacity for Standby Power i

Supplies", March 10, 1971, Regulatory Guide 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants",
