BASES 3/4.8.1, 3/4.8.2 AND 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES, D.C. SOURCES AND ONSI1E POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C power sources aad 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 condi-tions 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 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 analyscs 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 context means to administrative 1y check by examining logs or other in- !

formation 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 ^.CT!0F r0guir=0nt:

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 Guides 1.9, " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," March 10, 1971, 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units U~ sed as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1,

The purpose of surveillance requirement 4.8.1.1.2.e.15)' is to verify that each diesel can start twice off of its available air

- supply without recharging. This surveillance may be met using ,

either both starting air receiver tanks simultaneously or one '

tank at a time independently. Although both air receiver tanks ,

are normally available, a single starting air receiver tank may be removed from service for-maintenance or testing purposes l without. making the diesel INOPERABLE provided the starting air receiver tank left in service successfully met the two start- l requirement during its previous surveillance. If a starting air receiver' tank did not meet the two start surveillance, then the diesel is INOPERABLE if that tank pressure drops below that required to meet the surveillance.

Insert #11:

Since the McGuire emergency diesel generator manufacturer

- (Nordberg) is no longer in business, McGuire' engineering is the designer of record. Therefore, the term " manufacturer's (or vendor) recommendations" is taken to mean recommendations as determined by McGuire engineering (with specific industry .

Nordberg input as available) that were intended for nuclear class I' diesel service taking into account McGuire diesel generator maintenance and operating history and industry experience where !

applicable. .)

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.

4 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 0.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 i

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 context 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.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129,

" Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares the battery. capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity. The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer s full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normel limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-3 is permitted for up to 7 days. During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for' electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability (-

ATTACHMENT 3 i TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR MCGUIRE AND CATAWBA 1

I e

US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 1 BACKGROUND:

TS 3.8.1.1 delineates the requirements for electrical power A.C.

sources during Modes 1 through 4. It requires, as a minimum, two physically independent offsite circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Essential Auxiliary Power System, and two separate and independent emergency diesel generators (DGs). The ACTIONS associated with this TS require, among other things, the demonstration of the OPERABILITY of the rest of these A.C. sources when one or more of them becomes inoperable. TS 4.8.1.1.1 delineates the surveillance !

requirements for the two required offsite circuits, and TS 4.8.1.1.2 delineates the surveillance requirements for the two <

required DGs. TS 4.8.1.1.3 delineates the reporting requirements )

for DG failures. TS 3.8.1.2 delineates the requirements for i electrical power A.C. sources during Modes 5 and 6; it requires, as a minimum, half of that required during Modes 1 through 4. TS ,

4.8.1.2 references most of the surveillances in TS 4.8.1.1.1 and j TS 4.8.1.1.2.

TS 6.8.4 delineates the programs to be established, implemented and maintained. A program being proposed to be added to this TS

'is the ' Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program."

In December 1992, the NRC issued NUREG-1366, " Improvements to Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements." Section .

10.1 lists the findings and recommendations concerning DG 1 surveillance requirements. Table 14.1, item 10.1 summarizes the I recommended changes for DG surveillance requirements.

In Septamber 1992, the NRC issued NUREG-1431, " Revised Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse PWRs," which ,

incorporated the recommendations of NUREG-1366. Sections 3.8.1, '

3.8.2 and 3.8.3 of NUREG-1431' deal with technical specifications concerning AC Sources-Operating, AC Sources-Shutdown, and Diesel Fuel Oil / Lube Oil / Starting Air, respectively. Section 5.7.2.17 of NUREG-1431 deals with technical specification concerning Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program. The NRC has encouraged utilities to pursue adoption of NUREG-1431. Where utilities elect not to adopt the entire NUREG-1431, the NRC has indicated it will allow the adoption of selected sections.

US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 2 On. September 27, 1993, the NRC issued GL 93-05, "Line-Item Technical Specifications Improvements to Reduce Surveillance Requirements for. Testing During Power Operation." This GL provides guidance to assist licensees in preparing license amendment requests to implement the recommendations of NUREG-1366. GL 93-05 has a precaution that any change to extend a surveillance interval in accordance with NUREG-1366 should not be made if this is not compatible with plant operating experience.

Section 10.1 of this GL lists the guidance for TS changes for DG surveillance requirements.

On May 31, 1994, the NRC issued GL 94-01, " Removal of Accelerated Testing and Special Reporting Requirements for Emergency Diesel Generators." GL 94-01 requires licensees who propose to remove the TS provisions for accelerated DG testing and special reporting to implement within 90 days of the issuance of the license amendment a maintenance program for monitoring'and maintaining DG performance consistent with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.65, " Requirements for Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants," and the guidance (as applicable to DGs) of RG 1.160, " Monitoring the Effectiveness of Maintenance at Nuclear Power Plants." Enclosures 1 and 2 of this GL provide guidance for making this proposal. RG 1.160 endorses a Nuclear Utility Management and Resources Council (NUMARC) guideline, NUMARC~93-01, which gives methods acceptable to the NRC staff for complying with the provisions of 10 CFR 50.65.

1 US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 3 TECHNICAL JUSTIFICATION: !

HQIS: The following Technical Justification is for both McGuire and Catawba. Where there is a difference between McGuire and Catawba, it is so indicated.

The proposed changes included in this submittal can be grouped into 5 categories: 1/ changes in'accordance with GL 93-05, 2/

changes in accordance with GL 94-01, 3/ changes in accordance with NUREG-1431 (more stringent, less stringent), 4/ other technical changas, and 5/ pure administrative changes.

In the following item-by-item proposed revision, each item is annotated (in parenthesis at the end) with a document number to show which of the above categories each proposed change is based on. In the case of GL 93-05, the proposed changes in accordance with itself are a2so in accordance with NUREG-1366 and NUREG-1431; therefore, only GL 93-05 is mentioned in the annotation.

1 A/ Procosed Revision to TS 3.8.1.1 Action at i

1. Delete the requirement to test the two diesel generators when one offsite circuit is inoperable. (GL 93-05)

2. Editorial changes due to the deletion of the requirement to test the two diesel generators as stated above. (ADMIN.)

A/ Technical Justification:

1. According to NUREG-1366 and Generic Letter 93-05, the requirement to test the two diesel generators when an offsite circuit is inoperable can be deleted. This is prudent since the inoperability of an offsite circuit does not affect the operability or availability of the diesel generators. NUREG-1431 LCO 3.8.1 Action A does not have 4 this requirement. l

2. The above change results in other editorial changes in this section including changing " demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the remaining A.C. sources" to " demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the remaining required offsite circuit", and changing

" restore at least two offsite circuits and two diesel generators to OPERABLE status" to " restore the required offsite circuit to OPERABLE status".

US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 4 A/ 3.8.1.1 Action a Format:

After all proposed changes have been made to Action a, Action a is divided into sub-actions (with no effect on its technical content) as shown on the final TS pages in Attachments Sa and 5b.

B/ Pronosed Revision to TS 3.8.1.1 Action b:

1. Delete the provision for not testing the remaining diesel generator if it was tested within the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or is operating. (NUREG-1431, more stringent)

2. Add an allowance for not testing the remaining diesel generator if the inoperability of the other diesel was due ,

to an inoperable support system, an independently testable l component, or preplanned testing or maintenance. (GL 93-05) l

3. Add an allowance for not testing the remaining diesel I generator if it can be verified that no potential common mode failure exists for the remaining diesel. (GL 93-05)

4. Editorial change from "A.C. source" to " required offsite circuit". (ADMIN.)

5. McGuire only: Delete existing footnote

concerning definition of operability /inoperability for diesel generators. (ADMIN.)

6. Catawba only: Replace the last sentence in Action b regarding Mode change requirement with a shorter sentence.

(ADMIN.)

B/ Technical Justification:

1. Generic Letter 93-05 and NUREG-1431 LCO 3.8.1 Actions B and D do not reflect this provision. Furthermore, being already tested within the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or is operating does not guarantee that the remaining diesel is precluded from a potential common mode failure; therefore, it is prudent to test the diesel generator again even if it was tested within the previous 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months or is operating unless it can be verified that no potential common mode failure for the ;

remaining. diesel exists. The probability of having the remaining diesel generator operating when the other diesel generator becomes inoperable is so remote that this provision can be deleted without making any actual '

difference to Action b; and even if it is operating, the proposed change B/3 (to add an allowance for not requiring the remaining diesel to be tested if the absence of any

I US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 5 ;

l potential common mode failure can be verified) can be used to prevent diesel shutdown and subsequent retest. l

2. Generic Letter 93-05 reflects this allowance. i 1

3. Generic Letter 93-05 and NUREG-1431 LCO 3.8.1 Acticns B.3.1 and B.3.2 reflect this allowance.

4. The " remaining required offsite circuit" is a mo're accurate ;

term than " remaining A.C. source". ,

5. McGuire only: This is purely an administrative change. This l footnote is deleted due to the fact that the definition of l OPERABILITY is included in TS 1.0. Duke Power has policies !

to ensure that this TS definition is met. (Catawba does not have this footnote).

6. Catawba only: This is purely an administrative change in that the two sentences basically say the same thing. The ;

change is also consistent with McGuire's TS 3.8.1.1 Action 1 b.

US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 6 C/ Technical Justification:

1. McGuire only: Generic Letter 93-05 and NUREG-1431 LCO 3.8.1 Actions B and D do not reflect this provision. Furthermore, being operating does not guarantee that the remaining diesel is precluded from a potential common mode failure; therefore, it is prudent to test the diesel generator again even if it is operating unless it can be verified that no potential common mode failure for the remaining diesel exists. The probability of having the remaining diesel ,

generator operating when the other diesel generator becomes inoperable is so remote that this provision can be deleted without making any actual difference to Action b; and even if it is operating, the proposed change D/3 (to add an allowance fer not requiring the remaining diesel to be tested if the absence of any potential common mode failure can be verified) can be used to prevent diesel shutdown and I subsequent retest.

offsite circuits become inoperable can be deletud. This is i

prudent since the inoperability of two offsite circuits does not affect the operability or availability of the two diesel generators. NUREG-1431 LCO 3.8.1 Action C does not have t this requirement.

Catawba: Action e is divided into sub-actions (with no effect on its technical content) as shown as Action f on the final TS pages in Attachment 5b.

F/ ProDosed Revision to TS 4.8.1.1.2.a:

1. Change the testing frequency for the diesel generators from the accelerated testing frequency specified in Table 4.8-1 to "At least once per 31 days". (GL 94-01) 1

2. Put a note in Table 4.8-1 that it is "Not Used". (GL 94-01)

3. Catawba only: Delete superscript ** and associated footnote

- concerning the explanation of STAGGERED TEST BASIS.

(ADMIN.)

F/ Technical Justification: l i

1. Generic Letter 94-01 reflects this allowance with a I condition that a maintenance program for monitoring and l maintaining diesel generator performance consistent with the '

provisions of 10 CFR 50.65 and the guidance of RG 1.160 and NUMARC 93-01 (Maintenance Rule) be implemented within 90 days of the issuance of these license amendmenpr. These maintenance programs are planned to be implemented at McGuire and Catawba at the beginning of 1996, prior to ;

issuance of this amendment. '

2. Generic Letter 94-01 reflects this note.

3. Catawba only: With the proposed change F/1 above, this footnote is no longer needed.

G/ Pronosed Revision to TS 4.8.1.1.2.a.4:

1. Clarify the term " ambient" to be " standby (prelube)".

(ADMIN.)

2. Modify this surveillance to allow a slow start from standby (prelube) condition every 31 days. Modification includes deleting " accelerates to at least ... rpm in 5 11 seconds

" , and changing "The generator voltage and frequency shall

US NRC Attachment 3 December 14, 1995 Page 9 be ... within 11 seconds after the start signal" to "and maintains the steady state generator voltage and frequency at..." (NUREG-1431, less stringent)

3. McGuire only: Change the minimum voltage and frequency to be verified in this surveillance from "4160 volts" and *57 Hz" to a steady-state voltage and frequency ranges of "4160 420 volts" and "60 1.2 Hz". (Catawba already used these proposed ranges). (NUREG-1431, less stringent)

4. Modify footnote'* to allow a fast start from standby (prelube) condition for the diesel generator every 184 days which requires that the generator voltage and frequency be 2 3740 volts and 2 57 Hz within 11 seconds. (ADMIN.)

G/ Technical Justification:

1. The diesel engines at McGuire and Catawba are normally in

" standby (prelube)" condition. Diesel engine lube oil and jacket water are warm and circulating.

2. Fast starts (start and maximum acceleration to synchronous speed at full fuel rack position) have the potential to accelerate the degradation of the diesel generators. NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.2 reflects the 31-day slow start (more gradual acceleration to synchronous speed) provision. NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.2 NOTE 1 states that a fast start, SR 3.8.1.7 (every 184 days), can be used to satisfy the proposed monthly test requirement.

3. NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.2 reflects these proposed ranges. The ranges, as opposed to minimum values, are more appropriate for steady state condition. This change is consistent with change G/2 and other surveillances where steady state voltage and frequency are verified.

4. This is purely an administrative change. The intent of the current footnote is not changed. The content of the current footnote is modified to match NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.7.

H/ Pronosed Revision to TS 4.8.1.1.2.a.5:

1. Replace fast loading of the diesel generators by loading "in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations". (GL 93-05)

2. Change the loading range from "3000-4000 kW" to "3600-4000 kW" for McGuire. (Catawba's current 5600-5750 kW range is correct). (NUREG-1431, less stringent)

US NRC Attachment 3 !

December 14, 1995 Page 10 l l

3. Add footnote *** to allow for loading "in accordance with I I

the manufacturer's recommendations" and " momentary excursions outside of the required load range without invalidating the test." (NUREG-1431, less stringent)

H/ Technical Justificatit4.,

1. NUREG-1366 states that fast loading (zero to full load in 120 seconds or less) during surveillance testing is the most significant cause of accelerated degradation of diesel generators. NUREG-1366 recommends that the loading of diesel generators be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations, except for the refueling outage loss of offsite power (LOOP) tests, which can be 30 minutes or more to reach full load. Generic Letter 93-05 and NUREG-1431 SR l 3.8.1.3 NOTE 1 reflect this proposed change. )

2. NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.3 reflects the 90-100% of the maximum load range. Allowing a load range will prevent testing the l diesel generator in an overloaded condition as is currently required at McGuire to maintain 4000 kW.

3. NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.1.3 NOTE 2 reflects this footnote.

I/ Procosed Revision to TS 4.8.1.1.2.c (McGuire) 4.8.1.1.2.e (Catawba)-

1. Relocate the properties to be tested for new fuel oil to proposed TS 6.8.4.h, " Diesel Fuel Oil Testing" program. The limits of the properties (test acceptance criteria) will be detailed in a licensee-controlled Diesel Fuel Oil Testing program. (NUREG-1431, less stringent)

I/ Technical Justification:

1. This relocation streamlines the Surveillance Requirement by relocating its lengthy description of the new fuel oil surveillance requirements to the Diesel Fuel Oil Testing Program (similar to NUREG-1431 SR 3.8.3.3). The proposed TS 6.8.4.h is similar to TS 5.7.2.17 of NUREG-1431.

J/ Pronosed Revision to TS 4.8.1.1.2.d (McGuire). 4.8.1.1.2.f (Catawba)-

1. Relocate the property and limit to be tested for stored fuel oil to proposed TS 6.8.4.h, ' Diesel Fuel Oil Testing" program. (NUREG-1431, less stringent.)

P/ Technical Justification:

1. NUREG-1431 Section 3.8.1 does not reflect this surveillance.

This surveillance should be deleted because any addition to the DG loads must be an approved modification with a 10CFR 50.59 evaluation which would ensure that the auto-connected

O/ Technical Justification!

1. To allow the performance of this surveillance in conjunction with DG periodic preplanned preventative maintenance activity.

2. McGuire's. diesel can handle at least'two starts with a single air receiver at 210 psig based on testing. The current air receiver low pressure alarm setpoint is 220 psig-which providesino warning that the operability limit is j being approached; setting it higher than 220 psig would lead to nuisance alarms since the compressor start is. set at 225 psig. This proposed change will result in the low pressure alarm setpoint remain at 220 psig and provide 10 psig warning before the diesel generator becomes inoperable.

3. This change is consistent with change G/1.

4. McGuire has two starting air receiver tanks per diesel generator. Testing has proven that each diesel is able to perform at.least two starts (accelerating to at least 57 Hz in less than or equal to 11 seconds) off of each of its

. starting air receiver tanks (pressurized to less than or equal to 210 psig) while the other air receiver tank and both air compressors are isolated. This proposed. change allows one starting air receiver tank to be removed from i service for maintenance or testing purposes.without making j the diesel inoperable. These maintenance and testing ;

activities increase the reliability of the starting air ,

system-which in turn increases the reliability and l

SAFETY EVALUATION

w US NRC Attachment 4 December 14, 1995 Page 1 Safety Evaluation:

The proposed changes provided by this submittal significantly improve the TS surveillance requirements for the diesel generators by incorporating the guidance and recommendations contained in NUREG-1366, " Improvements to Technical Specifications Surveillance Requirements," GL 93-05, "Line-Item Technical Specifications Improvements to Reduce Surveillance Requirements for Testing During Power Operations," GL 94-01,

" Removal of Accelerated Testing and Special Reporting Requirements for Emergency Diesel Generators," and NUREG-1431; "

Revised Standard Technical Specifications for Westinghouse PWRs."

McGuire FSAR Section 8.3.1.1.7 and Catawba FSAR Section 8.3.1.1.3 describe in detail the diesel generator system. In general, the diesel generators at McGuire and Catawba provide emergency power to the 4160 Volt Essential Auxiliary Power System in case its 6900 Volt Normal Auxiliary Power System is lost. All plant vital instruments and safety related equipment required for the mitigation and safe shutdown of the reactor in case of accidents are powered from the 4160 Volt Essential Auxiliary Power System either directly or through stepdown transformers. Two diesel generators per' unit are provided to respond to basically three major accident situations: a Loss of Coolant Accident (LOCA), a Blackout, and a combination LOCA and Blackout. During a LOCA both diesel generators start and run but if normal power is available they will not connect to the bus. During a Blackout both diesel generators will start, run and connect to the bus.

During a Blackout followed by a LOCA the diesel generator will pick up all the LOCA loads not sequenced on by the Blackout Sequencer and trip all non-LOCA loads. If there is a LOCA followed by a Blackout the diesel generator will pick up the LOCA loads that were not being supplied prior to the Blackout. Each diesel generator will be started and loaded automatically during each of the above situations. Each diesel generator also has local and remote manual loading capability.

Each diesel generator at McGuire is rated for continuous operation at 4000 kW, 0.8 PF, and 4160 volts, with added capacity to operate at 4400 kW for a period of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months out of every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months of operation without adversely affecting the life of the unit.

1

l US NRC Attachment 4 December 14, 1995 Page 2 Each diesel generator at Catawba is rated for continuous operation at 7000 kW with added capability to operate at 7700 kW for a period of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days 5.555556e-4 hours 3.306878e-6 weeks 7.61e-7 months out of every 24 hours2.777778e-4 days 0.00667 hours 3.968254e-5 weeks 9.132e-6 months of operation without affecting the life of the unit. (The maximum loading on each diesel generator at Catawba has been limited to 5750 kW pending resolution of TDI's Owners' Group concerns and is reflected in both the Technical Specifications and station procedures.)

Improvements to the surveillance requirements for the diesel generators do not adversely affect their capability to provide emergency power to plant vital instruments and safety related ,

equipment. In fact, most of these improvements make the diesel !

generators more reliable since they significantly reduce the amount of wear and stress due to excessive and unnecessary testing. The requirement to test both diesel generators when one 1 offsite circuit or two offsite circuits become inoperable is l unnecessary since the inoperability of the offsite circuits does I not affect the availability and capability of the diesel generators to provide emergency power to the 4 kV busses. The l lack of an allowance for exempting diesel generator testing when the other diesel generator becomes inoperable due to its inoperable support system, independently testable component or {

preplanned testing or maintenance, creates unnecessary diesel generator wear. Unnecessary wear of the diesel generator is also ,

caused by the lack of an allowance for exempting diesel generator !

testing if it can be verified that no potential common mode failure exists between the inoperable and operable diesels. The proposed monthly testing of the diesel generator continues to ensure that the system is ready for service when needed; for that purpose, a proposed change is included for the engine to be started and slowly brought up to full speed, and then slowly load the generator (instead of fast starting and fast loading). The fast starts are still required every 184 days and in most of the starting tests during refueling outages. The fast loadings are still required in the refueling outage LOOP tests. These fast starts and fast loadings continue to ensure that the timing and loading requirements for engineered safety features actuation are met. The proposed changes do not affect any of the design basis accident analyses.

It is concluded that these proposed changes do not compromise the safety of any system, including the diesel generators themselves.

These proposed changes do not affect any accident previously analyzed or create any possible new accidents, and do not compromise the safety of the public in any way. The proposed changes are fully consistent with the recommendations and guidance contained in GL 93-05, GL 94-01, NUREG-1366, NUREG-1431, and are compatible with plant operating experience.

ATTACHMENT 5 NO SIGNIFICANT HAZARDS CONSIDERATION

US NRC Attachment 5 December 14, 1995 Page 1 No Sionificant Hazards Consideration:

As required by 10 CFR 50.91,' this analysis is provided concerning whether the requested amendments involve significant hazards considerations, as defined by 10 CFR 50.92. Standards for determination that an amendment request involves no significant hazards considerations are if operation of the facility in accordance with the requested amendment would not: 1) Involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated; or 2) Create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated; or 3) Involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety.

In 48 FR 14870, the Commission has set forth examples of amendments that are considered not likely to involve significant hazards considerations. Example i describes a change which is purely administrative in nature; for example a change to achieve consistency throughout the technical specifications, correction of an error, or a change in nomenclcture. Example il describes a change which constitutes an additional limitation, restriction, or control not presently included in the technical specifications; for example, a more stringent surveillance requirement. Example vii describes a change which makes a license conform to changes in the regulations, where the license change results in very minor changes to facility operations clearly in keeping with the regulations.

The proposed administrative changes are similar to example i.

The proposed changes that are more stringent based on NUREG-1431 are similar to example ii.

The proposed changes that are'less stringent based on NUREG-1431, and those which are based on the recommendations and guidance of GLs 93-05 and 94-01 are similar to example vii. While the issuance of NUREG-1366, GL 93-05, GL 94-01 and NUREG-1431 does not constitute a change in existing regulations, it nevertheless establishes the NRC's position concerning the acceptability of adopting all or part of the recommendations and guidance contained in these documents.

US NRC Attachment 5 December 14, 1995 Page 2 Criterion 1 Operation of the facilities in accordance with the requested amendments will not involve a significant increase in the probability or consequences of an accident previously evaluated.

Improvements to the LCOs and surveillance requirements for the emergency diesel generators do not affect their capability to provide emergency power to plant vital instruments and safety related equipment. In fact, these improvements make the diesel generators more reliable since they significantly reduce the amount of wear and stress due to excessive and unnecessary testing. The proposed monthly testing of the diesel generator continues to ensure that the system is ready for service when l needed. The fast starts and fast loadings continue to ensure that the timing and loading requirements for engineered safety features actuation are met. The proposed changes do not affect any of the design basis accident analyses previously evaluated.

Therefore, these proposed changes do not involve any increase in the probability or consequences of any accident previously :

evaluated. The proposed changes are fully consistent with the recommendations and guidance contained in GL 93-05, GL 94-01, !

NUREG-1366, NUREG-1431, and are compatible with plant operating l experience. l Criterion 2 Operation of the facilities in accordance with the requested amendments will not create the possibility of a new or different kind of accident from any accident previously evaluated. The proposed changes in fact improve the reliability of the diesel generators by eliminating unnecessary wear and stress. Improved reliability decreases the failure probability which also decreases the probability of an accident not previously evaluated. None of the reque'sted amendments increase the common mode failure probability thus would not increase the chance of both EDG's for a particular nuclear unit being out of service i simultaneously. The proposed changes are fully consistent with the recommendations and guidance contained in GL 93-05, GL 94-01, NUREG-1366, NUREG-1431, and are compatible with plant operating experience.

US NRC Attachment 5 December 14, 1995 Page 3 criterion 3 Operation of the facilities in accordance with the requested amendments will not involve a significant reduction in a margin of safety. The proposed monthly testing of the diesel generators continues to ensure that the system is ready for service when needed. The fast starts and fast loadings continue to ensure that the timing and loading requirements for engineered safety features actuation are met. The proposed changes improve the reliability of the diesel generators. Implementation of the Maintenance Rule also ensures continued reliability of the diesel generators. No margin of-safety is decreased as a result of these TS changes.

Duke Power concludes that the requested amendments do not involve ;

a significant hazards consideration. l l

US NRC Attachment 5 December 14, 1995 Page 4 1-

, Environ ==ntal T=nact Analysis i The proposed Technical Specification amendment has been reviewed against the criteria of 10 CFR 51.22 for environmental considerations. The proposed amendment does not involve a significant hazards consideration, nor increase the types and amounts of effluents that may be released offsite, nor increase 4 individual or cumulative occupational radiation exposures.

Therefore, the proposed amendment meets the criteria given in 10 CFR 51.22 (c) (9) for a categorical exclusion from the requirement !

for an Environmental Impact Review.

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 one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term verify as used in l this context means to administratively check _ by examining logs or other infor-mation to detennine 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. l The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refueling ensures that: ,

Some of the Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the operability of the diesel generators are modified by a footnote. The Specifications state the '

Surveillance Requirements are to be performed during shutdown, with the unit in mode 3 or higher. The footnote allows the particular surveillance to be per-formed during preplanned Preventative Maintenance (PM) activities that would l result in the diesel generator being inoperable. The surveillance can be per- I formed at that time as long as it does not increase the time the diesel genera- ;

tor is inoperable for the PM activity that is being performed. The footnote is only applicable at that time. The provision of the footnote shall not be !

utilized for operational convenience. l i

The purpose of surveillance requirement 4.8.1.1.2.e.15) is to verify that j each diesel can start twice off of its available air supply without recharging. l This surveillance may be met using either both starting air receiver tanks simultaneously or one tank at a time independently. Although both air receiver tanks are normally available, a single starting air receiver tank may be removed from service for maintenance or testing purposes without making the diesel INOPERABLE provided the starting air receiver tank left in service ,

I successfully met the two start requirement during its previous surveillance.

If a starting air receiver tank did not meet the two start surveillance, then the diesel is INOPERABLE if that tank pressure drops below that required to meet the surveillance.

Since the McGuire emergency diesel generator manufacturer (Nordberg) is no longer in business, McGuire engineering is the designer of record. Therefore, '

the term " manufacturer's (or vendor) recommendations" is taken to mean recommendations as determined by McGuire engineering (with specific industry Nordberg input as available) that were intended for nuclear class diesel service taking into account McGuire diesel generator maintenance and operating !

history and industry experience where applicable.

l l

The Surveillance Requirement for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the. recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129, i

" Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for !

Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage onfloat charge, connection resistance values and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and l

' each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

- safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity _and that the overall-capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability

3/4.8.4 ELECTRICAL EOUIPMENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES !

Containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are pro-tected by either deenergizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circufit breakers during periodic surveillance. ;

The Surveillance Requirements-applicable to lower voltage circuit breakers i provide assurance of breaker reliability by testing at least one representative ;

sample of each manufacturer's brand of circuit breaker. Testing of these cir-cuit breakers consists of injecting a current in excess of the breaker's nomi- ;

nal setpoint and measuring the response time. The measured response time is' l compared to the manufacturer's data to ensure that it is less than or equal to a value specified by the manufacturer. Each manufacturer's molded case and

. metal case circuit breakers are grouped into representative samples which are then' tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers are tested. If a wide variety exists within any manufacturer's brand of circuit breakers, it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's breakers into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker for surveillance purposes. ,

Fuse testing is in accordance with IEEE Standard 242-1975. This program will detect any significant degradation of the fuses or improperly sized fuses.

Safety is further assured by the " fail safe" nature of fuses, that is, if the i fuse fails, the circuit will deenergize. i McGUIRE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 8-3

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.8.1.2 The above required A.C. electrical power sources shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of each of the requirements of Specifications 4.8.1.1.1, 4.8.1.1.2 (except for Specification 4.8.1.1.2a.5), and 4.8.1.1.4. l McGUIRE - UNIT 2 3/4 8-11 Amendment No.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.8.1. 3/4.8.2 AND 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES. D.C. SOURCES AND ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C )ower sources and associated distri-bution systems during operation ensures t1at 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 50.

The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commen-surate 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 con-ditions 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, sub-systems, 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 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 one of the diesel generators is inoperable. The term verify as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other infor-mation 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. l 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 Guides 1.9, " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Sup-plies," March 10,1971,1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977, and 1.137, " Fuel-0il Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979; Generic Letter 84-15, which modified the testing frequencies specified in Regulatory Guide 1.108; Generic Letter 93-05, which reduced the surveillance requirements for testing of Diesel Generators during power operation; also, Generic Letter 94-01, which removed the accelerated testing and special reporting requirements for Emergency Diesel Generators.

Some of the Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the operability of i the diesel generators are modified by a footnote. The Specifications state the Surveillance Requirements are to be performed during shutdown,'with the unit in i mode 3 or higher. The footnote-allows the particular surveillance to be per- ,

formed during preplanned Preventative Maintenance (PM) activities that would result in the diesel generator being inoperable. The surveillance can be per-formed at that time as long as it'does not increase the time the diesel genera- l tor is inoperable for the PM activity that is being performed. The footnote is only applicable at that time. The provision of the footnote shall not be utilized for operational convenience.

The purpose of surveillance requirement 4.8.1.1.2.e.15) is to verify that each diesel can start twice off of its available air. supply without recharging.

This surveillance may be met using either both starting air receiver tanks simultaneously or one tank at a time independently. Although both air receiver tanks are normally available, a single starting air receiver tank may be removed from service for maintenance or testing purposes without making the diesel INOPERABLE 2rovided the starting air receiver tank left in service successfully met tie two start requirement during its previous surveillance. ,

-If a starting air receiver tank did not meet the two start surveillance, then ,

the diesel is INOPERABLE if _ that tank pressure drops below that required to meet the surveillance. <

Since the McGuire emergency diesel generator manufacturer (Nordberg) is no longer is, business, McGuire engineering is the designer of record. Therefore, t the tem " manufacturer's (or vendor) recommendations" is taken to mean recommendations as determined by McGuire engineering (with specific industry :

Nordberg input as available) that were intended for nuclear class diesel- :

service taking into account McGuire diesel generator maintenance and operating history and industry experience where applicable. ;

The Surveillance Requirement for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129,

" Maintenance Testing and Rep 1* cement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for ;

Nuclear Power Plants," Februry 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended

-Practice for Maintenance, Test 1ng, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage onfloat charge, connection resistance values and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific

The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific j gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more ;

than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the l OPERABILITY and capability of the battery. l l

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-3 is permitted for up to 7 days. During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron trans-fer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the i safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual l cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability l to perform its design function. 1 3/4.8.4 ELECTRICAL E0VIPMENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES Containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are pro-tected by either deenergizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circuit breakers during periodic surveillance.

The Surveillance Requirements. applicable to lower voltage circuit breakers provide assurance of breaker reliability by testing at least one representative sample of each manufacturer's brand of circuit breaker. Testing of these cir-cuit breakers consists of injecting a current in excess of the breaker's nomi-nal setpoint and measuring the response time. The measured response time is compared to the manufacturer's data to ensure that it is less than or equal to a value specified by the manufacturer. Each manufacturer's molded case and metal case circuit breakers are grouped into representative samples which are then tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers are tested. If a wide variety exists within any manufacturer's brand of circuit breakers, it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's breakers into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker for surveillance purposes.

Fuse testing is in accordance with IEEE Standard 242-1975. This program will detect any significant degradation of the fuses or improperly sized fuses.

Safety is further assured by the " fail safe" nature of fuses, that is, if the fuse fails, the circuit will deenergize.

1) thep(ower will be of safe shutdown available 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 o)eration commen-surate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of t1e 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 i

in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out-of-service for mainte-nance or other reasons. It does not mean to perform the Surveillance ;

Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component.

l 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 refueli ng condition for extended time periods, and (2) sufficient instrumentation and control capa-bility 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 Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," March 10, 1971, Regulatory Guide 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel l Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants,"

If any other metallic structures (building, new or modified piping systems, i conduits) are placed in the ground near the Fuel Oil Storage System or if the j original system is modified, the adequacy and frequency of inspections for the Cathodic Protection System shall be reevaluated and adjusted in accordance with

the manufacturer's recommendations.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129,

" Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for )

i Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended I Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

i Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high !

discharge rates and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and i each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8-3 is permitted for up to 7 days. During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design function.

DISTRIBUTION The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C power sources and associated distribu-tion systems to supply during operation the safety-related ensuresrequirea equipment that sufficient for: p(ower will be available. 1) the s 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 te 10 CFR Part 50. i The ACTION requirements specified for the. levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility o>eration commen-surate with the level of degradation. The OPERABILITY of t1e 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 context means to administratively check by examining logs or other '

information to determine if certain components are out-of-service for mainte-nance or other reasons. It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component. l The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during shutdown and refding ensures that:

(1) the facility can be maintained in the shutdown or ri.ietling condition for extended time periods, and.(2) sufficient instrumentation and control capa-bility 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 Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power I Supplies," March 10, 1971, Regulatory Guide 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel l Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants,"

If any other metallic structures (building, new or modified piping systems, :

! conduits) are placed in the ground near the Fuel Oil Storage System or if the original system is modified, the adequacy and frequency of inspections for the Cathodic Protection System shall be reevaluated and adjusted in accordance with i the manufacturer's recommendations. i The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the

station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129,

" Maintenance Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "IEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance values and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and !

each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

The limits for the designatea pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable.value specified in Table 4.8-3 is pemitted for up to 7 days. ..During this 7-day period: (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity, ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater then 2.07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perfom its design function.

STARTUP REPORT !

6.9.1.1 A summary report of plant startup and power escalation testing shall be submitted following (1) receipt of an Operating License, (2) amendment to -

the license involving a planned increase in power level, (3) installation of fuel that has a different design or has been manufactured by a different fuel supplier, and (4) modifications that may have significantly altered the i nuclear, thermal, or hydraulic performance of the unit.

6.9.1.2 The Startup Report shall address each of the tests identified in the Final Safety Analysis Report and shall include a description of the measured ,

values of the operating conditions or characteristics obtained during the test l' program and a comparison of these values with design predictions and specifica-tions. Any corrective actions that were required to obtain satisfactory l operation shall also be described. Any additional specific details required in license conditions based on other commitments shall be included in this report. !

6.9.1.3 Startu ) Reports shall be submitted within: (1) 90 days following completion of tie Startup Test Program, (2) 90 days following resumption or commencement of commercial power operation, or (3) 9 months following initial criticality, whichever is earliest. If the Startup Report does not cover all r three events (i.e., initial criticality, completion of Startup Test Program, and resumption or_ commencement of commercial operation), supplementary reports -

shall be submitted at least every 3 months until all three events have been i completed.

ANNUAL REPORTS U 6.9.1.4 Annual Reports covering the activities of the unit as described below for the previous calendar year shall be submitted prior to March 1 of each year. The initial report shall be submitted prior to March 1 of the year following initial criticality.

6.9.1.5 Annual Reports shall include the activities of the unit as described below:

a. Personnel Exposures Reports required on an annual basis shall include a tabulation on an 1

annual basis of the number of station, utility, and other personnel (including contractors) receiving exposures greater than 100 mrem /yr and their associated man-rem exposure according to work and job functions, i e.g., reactor operations and surveillance, inservice inspection, routine U A single submittal may be made for the station. The submittal should combine those sections that are common to both units. ,

The dose assignments to various duty functions may be estimated based on pocket dosimeter, TLD, or film badge measurements. Small exposures totalling less than 20% of the individual total dose need not be accounted for.

In the aggregate, at least 80% of the total wholebody dose received from external sources should be assigned to specific major work functions.

b. Primary Coolant Specific Activity Reports required on an annual basis shall include the results of specific activity analysis'in which the primary coolant exceeded the limits of Specification 3.4.8. The following infonnation shall be included:

1)

Reactor power history starting 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months prior to the first sample in which the limit was exceeded; 2) Results of the-last isotopic analysis for radiciodine performed prior to exceeding the limit, results of analysis while limit was exceeded and results of one analysis after the radiciodine activity was reduced to less than limit. Each result should include date and time of sampling and the radioiodine concentrations; 3) Clean-up system flow history starting 48 hours5.555556e-4 days 0.0133 hours 7.936508e-5 weeks 1.8264e-5 months prior to the first sample in which the limit was exceeded; 4) Graph of the I-131 concentration and one other radiciodine isotope concentration in microcuries per gram as a function of t time for the duration of the specific activity above the steady-state level; and 5) The time duration when the specific activity of the primary coolant exceeded the radiciodine limit.
