UNITS 1 AND 2 DIESEL GENERATOR (DG) RELIABILITY DATA REPORT FOR 1991 This report is submitted to comply with Technical Specification (TS) 6.9.2.2 for an annual data report on DG reliability.

The 6.9-kilovolt DGs at SQN-serve as the onsite Class 1E power source.

Surveillance requirements of the TSs that demonstrate DG operability are accomplished by the routine perf ormance of Surveillance Instructions (81s) 1-SI-0PS-082-007. A and B and 2-SI-0PS-082-007.A and B " Electrical Power System - Diesel Generator";

0-SI-0PS-082-007.0, " Diesel Generator Operability Verification"; the SI-26 series for loss of offsite power coincident with a safety injections the SI-102 series for periodic, vendor-recommended inspectional and the Standard Operating Instruction (SOI) 82 series for normal operation of DGs.

The information listed below is a tabulation of DG testing data taken from the aforementioned sis and/or S0ls. The data was taken from testing performed during the period January 1, 1991, through December 31, 1991.

" Valid test" and " invalid test" are defined in accordance with the criteria established in-Regulatory Guide 1.108 Havision 1, August 1977.

2A-A 12 23 0

  • Power CT failure during the performance of SI-26.1B The above data indicates an average of 36 starts per DG with one failure.

One failure out of 144 valid and invalid tests supports the high confidence level that the DGs will perform when required.

SQN continues to recognize the importance of reducing the number of DG starts as indicated by the trend below 19881 approx. 170 starts per DG per year 1989:

approx.

55 starts per DG per year 1990s approx.

36 starts per DG per year 1991:

36 starts per DG per year Continued effort will keep DC starts as low as possible and thereby enhance engine life and DG reliability.
