I. ,TDI' DIESEL GENERATOR TESTING'AND INSPECTION

~7. A major. element of.the:TDI Diesel Generator Owners ,

e Group; Program.(described'in-the Affidavit of John C. Kammeyer) f involvesz an enhanced-engine testing program, coupled with ,

g - , specific (component inspections. The-Owners Group technical-staff, in evaluating. specific engine components, provided 3 recommendations.to.the owners regarding special or expanded

b. -

tengine~ tests and. component inspections which would provide

'additionalLassurance-of the adequacy of both the engines and the

(

components to perform their safety-related functions. This testing-is being conducted in addition to that described in the PNPP FSAR.(Table 1.8).

A. Testing Program Development

8. The testing program for the standby diesel generators

, at PNPP_is based on IEEE Std. 387-1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.108 l I (as~ described in Table 1.8 of the PNPP FSAR). IEEE Std. 387-1977

.was; developed by the Nuclear Power Engineering Committee of IEEE to provide design criteria, design features, qualification i .- considerations and testing criteria for diesel engine generator

[ units applied as standby power supplies for nuclear power plants.

The testing categories and criteria are established in Section 6 i

l of the Standard. Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, August 1977, provides additional specific guidance-on criteria.for periodic'and pre-operational testing of diesel generator units.

The PNPP' testing program also includes the recommendations developed by the TDI Diesel Generator. Owners Group Program. The Owners Group preparation of. testing-and inspection o

recommendations for the PNPP test program was based on the' results of, the analytical stucies performed by the Owners Group- _

,- FandLafrecognition that.testsJconducted on the " lead" DSRV-16-4 l

-engines wereisuccessfully performed prior to the PNPP tests.

B. 'The " Lead" Engine Concept b 9. .The?" lead" engines for the model.DSRV-16-4; engines

, installed ~at PNPP were the DSRV-16-4

engines located at the l '

i;-

W -- ,

.' Comanche' Peak Steam Electric Station of the Texas Utilities Generating Company. A full pre-operational test program was conducted on the Comanche Peak engines in accordance with the Texas-Utilities' program based on NRC Regulatory Guide 1.108,

" Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electrical Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants" (Revision 1, f.

August 1977) and IEEE Std. 387-1977, cited above. In excess of T

100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> of operation were logged on these engines. The L

Comanche Peak test program included starting and load acceptance tests, auxiliary system tests, load capability tests, and control i-

' circuit tests. Specific tests, in addition to those described in Commanche Peak's FSAR were required by the Owners Group to be performed on the Comanche Peak engines. Tests required by the Owners Group included a torsiograph test, which confirms the p adequacy.-of theLcrankshaft, and engine vibration tests. The lead

. engines,at-Comanche Peak were successfully tested using a program i based on;IEEE Std. 387, Regulatory Guide 'l.108 and the addicional p

Owners' Group recommendations.

10. .In addition to the Comanche Peak testing,~more than-s

.-1600 hours.of operation have been accumulated on the DSRV-16-4 engines:at Duke Power's. Catawba Plant. This has further 2 substantiated the-Comanche Peak test results. The results of the p cComanche and. Catawba engine tests have provided additional assurance regardingfthe' capabilities of the DSRV-16-4. engine

The results ofnthe' testing at Comanche Peak, as well as u

.. supplemental.information from the' Catawba Plant, are referenced h

in the-'PNPP,DR/QRLReport.

.3 11. Information from pre-operational and lead engine

-testing-at other plants was obtained through the Owners Group and from site visits. For example, CEI representatives from the Nuclear Testing'Section and Quality Assurance Departments visited the Comanche Peak Plan

• ifter the pre-operational testing of their firstLTDI engine to review their methods and results. The ,

PNPP test program was reviewed in detail with Comanche Peak

- personnel to assure that the test program completely and consistently incorporated the Owners Group recommendations and operating experiences on the engines to date. The test program also included applicable ir:put from routine reporting and surveillance programs, such as INPO reporting, TDI Service

reports. Resolution of potential problem areas for particular.

components on-the engines or on auxiliary equipment identified by these: programs were -included, as required, in. the test program.

C. - PNPP' Pre-Operational Testing and Inspections

12. The. purpose of the' diesel generator testing program at h~..

-PNPP-isLto: provide additional assurance that the TDI diesel l

' generators are reliable, prior to. plant' licensing and operation.

The. program ~ consists of a comprehensive' pre-operational engine L test program and: includes testing recommended by the TDI' Diesel-Generator Owners. Group.-

13. The PNPP: test program includes a. rigorous group-of tests which. demonstrate the capability of a diesel' generator unit L

to perform its intended function. These tests are described in Section 6.4'of.IEEE Std. 387-1977 and-Regulatory Guide 1.108 (as described in Table 1.8 of the PNPP FSAR). The teats include diesel generator auxiliary systems tests for electrical and

-pneumatic controls, diesel generator control circuit functional and start tests, diesel generator load tests, diesel generator load acceptance tests, and diesel generator reliabiity tests, as discussed below. At PNPP, an additional measure of the performance of each cylinder on each engine will be obtained by logging cylinder exhaust temperature sensor readings under load.

This data will be taken throughout the pre-operational tests.

14. The diesel generator auxiliary systems tests will demonstrate the proper functioning of the electrical and pneumatic controls for the diesel generator auxiliary systems.

Auxiliary systems include the starting air, jacket water, lube oil and fuel oil. systems.

'15. The diesel generator control circuit functional and Jatart, tests will demonstrate electrical and pneumatic control

? circuit operability in the " Manual" mode of operation for both Unit 1 diesel generators. Each diesel generator will be tested'

~

~

to demonstrate that'it-is capable offstarting, achieving rated voltage-and frequency within acceptable limits and time, and accepting;1oad in the various modes of operation.

16. -The diesel generator load tests will demonstrate the capability of both Unit 1 dies'l e generators to start, load to 100

~

~-

m o percent of: full rated load and achieve steady-state temperature equilibrium. Each diesel generator will demonstrate operation at

.100. percent load for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> within the manufacturer's design

.and operational parameters. Each diesel generator's capability to reject 100 percent rated load without tripping due to overspeed will be tested.

17. The diesel generator load acceptance' tests will

-demonstrate the capability of the diesel generator to start upon receipt of a start signal, and to independently accept design 7.oads without exceeding manufacturer specifications and design

. criteria..

18. The diesel generator reliability tests will confirm the starting performance of the Unit 1 diesel generators by the performance of a minimum of 69 total valid tests with~no failures, in accordance with the; criteria specified in Reg. Guide 1.108, Rev. 1, Sections C.2.a(9)-and C.2.e. PNPP will also perform-20 additional' tests, 10 on each Unit 1' diesel generator.

The 20 additional. start-and-load tests will be conducted in accordance with Reg. Guide 1.108 and IEEE-387-1977, Section 6.3.2, with one exception. Since a single step load of 50

. percent of the generator _nareplate continuous KW rating is not-available, the generator will be-loaded with-the available bus-

--loadsonce it has attained the necessary speed and voltage. .The

, bus.will then be synchronized with offsite power and-loaded to 50 percent _of_ rating. -This exception is necessary due to 1

- t

, - - ~ . -

i 1

e- differences between the actual field configuration and the factory testing capability.

19. One test per diesel will be performed with the engine initially at " normal operating temperature equilibrium", as defined by IEEE Std. 387-1977. The remaining start-and-loads will be done with the diesel generators initially at warm l 4

standby,-their normal condition when PNPP is operating.

Including the 69 tests required by Reg. Guide 1.108, this l

accounts for a total of a minimum of 89 start-and-load tests.

< Each' start will be documented in accordance with Section 3.0 of Regulatory Guide 1.108 on a chronological test log.

20. Additional engine tests beyond the industry standards and~ Regulatory Guides have been recommended by the Owners Group.

As noted above, an example of such an additional test is a torsiograph test, which confirms the adequacy of the crankshaft to withstand operating torsional stresses. This test will be

performed at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of engine generator nameplate full-load rating prior to pre-operational testing.

This test will provide' additional' assurance that the PNPP engine crankshaft _ design is adequate. Hot and cold crankshaft

~

deflection' measurements, as' recommended by TDI, will also be performed prior to pre-operational testing to. verify the adequacy of the crankshaft.- An engine baseline vibration survey will also

.be taken to determine the initial vibration characteristics. A visual. survey will be performed while the engines are running at i -

.. ' full load to identify any individual component with unusually high vibration. levels.

21. .In addition, the Owners Group has recommended

-inspection of selected engine components following approximately 100 hours0.00116 days <br />0.0278 hours <br />1.653439e-4 weeks <br />3.805e-5 months <br /> of engine operation. These component inspections will

.be conducted at PNPP following established site procedures.

22. As described above, the PNPP test program meets or exceeds-both the testing described in IEEE Std. 387-1977.and the testing described in PNPP FSAR Table 1.8 pertaining to Regulatory

-Guide.l.108, and implements the Owners Group recommendations.

Fulfillment of the testing program provides assurance that the TDI diesel generator units meet their design requirements and will perform with a high degree of reliability. Beyond the standards, regulatory guides'and Owners Group recommendations, the program includes additional start-and-load acceptance tests to provide further assurance regarding engine performance. This.

comprehensive testing l program, other DSRV-16-4 successful test programs,'the PNPP DR/QR effort'(discussed in the-Affidavit of Edward'C. Christiansen), and the Owners Group results, all-provide an unprecedented level of: assurance regarding the
