i m
All diesel generator starts for the purpose of these surveillances may be preceded by,a prelube period.
A diesel generator start in less than or equal to 10 seconds (fast start) m shall be performed every 184 days. All other diesel generator starts for the purpose of this surveillance may be modified starts inyolving reduced fuel (load limit) and/or idling and gradeal acceleration to synchronous speed.
m Generator loading may be accomplished in accordance with vendor j
recommendations, including a warmup period prior to loading.
L m
The diesel generator start for this surveillance may be a modified start (see SR 4.8.1.1.2a.2)).
l m
Momentary transients outside this load range due to changing conditions on the grid shall not invalidate the test.
m.
If Specification 4.8.1.1.2a.2) is not satisfactorily completed, it is not necessary to repeat the preceding 24-hour test.
Instead, the standby diesel generator may be operated at 5000-5500 kW for a minimum of 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> j

m Criteria for determining number of failures and number of valid tests shall be in accordance with Regulatory Position C.2.e of Regulatory Guide l
1.108, but determined on a per diesel generator basis.
For the purpose of determining the required test frequency, the previous test failure count may be reduced to zero if a complete diesel overhaul 4
to like-new condition is completed, provided that the overhaul, including j
appropriate post-maintenance operation and testing, is specifically approved by the manufacturer And if acceptable reliability has been i
demonstrated. The reliability criterion shall be the successful completion of 14 consecutive tests in a single series. Ten of these tests shall be in accordance with the routine Surveillance Requirements SOUTH TEXAS - UNITS 1 & 2 3/4 8-7 Unit 1 - Amendment No. 68 l

If this criterion is not satisfied during the first series of tests, any alternate criterion to be used to transvalue the failure count to zero requires NRC approval.
-no The a:seciated test frequency shall be maintained until seven consecutive failure free demands have been performed And the number of failures in the last 20 valid demands has been reduced to one.
oo) This test may be performed during power operation provided that the other two diesel generators are operable.
