3/4.10 SPECIAL TEST EXCEPTIONS BASES 3/4.10.8 DIESEL OPERABILITY EXCEPTION - MODES 1. 2. 3 & 4 r

This special test exception permits an Essential Cooling Water loop to be inoperable for a cumulative 7 days per train per fuel cycle. It also permits a standby diesel generator to be inoperable .

for a cumulative 21 days per train per fuel cycle. In both cases it is intended that if the essential cooling water is inoperable, the associated standby diesel generator is also inoperable. This exception is to be used for the cumulative number of days specified per train per fuel cycle and for planned maintenance and testing. This exception is permitted only if all of the necessary compensatory '

actions are in place. If any condition of the LCO is not met during the time a standby diesel generator and/or the essential cooling water is inoperable under this special test exception,24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> ,

would be permitted to restore the condition before a plant shutdown or exiting the special test exception is required. The intention of this action is to allow a component in one of the other two trains to be inoperable for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> during this special test exception. If unable to return the ,

inoperable equipment to operable status within the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> time limit, the following actions must be taken:

a. Place the Unit in the applicable mode within the required time.  :

Since conditions may exist that would make it more desirable to enter the normal Technical  ;

Specification Action Statement for the equipment that is inoperable, a second Action statement is available. If inoperable equipment could be returned to service in the time allowed in the normal -

Technical Specification Allowed Outage Time, but not in the 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> allowed by Action a, and if all of the equipment out of service can be returned to OPERABLE status within the time remaining ~;

under the normal . Allowed Outage Time, the Special Test Exception may be exited under action b.

The purpose of this exceptien is to allow pre-planned testing and maintenance of the Standby Diesel 4 Generator and the Essential Cooling Water and to allow performance of surveillances prescribed in SR 4.8.1.1.2 in Modes 1,2. 3 and 4. The Emergency Transformer will be administratively dedicated to the ESF buss with the inoperable Standby Diesel Generator. This mean that the breaker alignment <

will enable the Emergency Transformer to supply power to the effected bus if a loss of offsite power were to occur. It is also intended to allow the use of the Emergency Transformer to supply any ESF buss during a loss of offsite power if the Shift Supervisor determines this is necessary. No pre-  ;

planned maintenance will be performed on the Technical Support Center diesel, the positive displacement pump or the Emergency Transformer during the use of this Special Test Exception. In addition the Shift Supervisor will control all work that is performed in the switchyard in accordance with established station procedures.
