i ATTAC19fENT 2 DISCUSSION OF SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION

% e DISCUSSION OF SUPPLEMENTAL REVISION Backaround North Anna Unit 2 Emergency. Diesel Generators (EDG) have experienced several engine fallares for which the root cause(s) have not yet been identified. Unit I has recently experienced a similiar engine failure. Of the several items considered as contributors to these failures, maximum electrical loading has recently been included for consideration as a potential cause. The present Unit - 2 Technical Specifications require that the EDG be loaded to greater than or equal to 2750 kw(or 3025 kw in the case of the eighteen month overload test). 2750 kw is the continuous (8000 hr) load rating of the EDG. At loadings greater than 2750 kw, the time of operation between required maintenance periods is greatly reduced. The North Anna EDG's are rated by the manufacturer as follows:

o 8000 hours0.0926 days <br />2.222 hours <br />0.0132 weeks <br />0.00304 months <br /> at 2750 kw o 2000 hours0.0231 days <br />0.556 hours <br />0.00331 weeks <br />7.61e-4 months <br /> at 3000 kw o 168 hours0.00194 days <br />0.0467 hours <br />2.777778e-4 weeks <br />6.3924e-5 months <br /> at 3100 kw o 4 hours4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> at 3150 kw o 30 minutes at 3300 kw Operation of the EDG beyond these rated values requires subsequent maintenance and inspection similar to that summarized in Table 8 under 8760 hours0.101 days <br />2.433 hours <br />0.0145 weeks <br />0.00333 months <br /> of continuous operation.

Evaluation:

Proposed Surveillance Requirements 4.8.1.1.2.a.4, 4.8.1.1.2.c. and 4.8.1.1.2.d.7 have been modified to specify error bands in electrically loading the EDG in lieu of the present requirement to load the EDG " greater than or equal to" a given value. For continuous load rating, the value specified is 2550 t 50 kw. For overload testing, the value specified is 2850 i 50 kw.

Basis:

In a meeting on January 23, 1985, the manufacturer, Colt Industries, verbally indicated that several of the recent Unit 2 diesel engine i failures are symptomatic of severe thermal transients and/or overloading. With the recent failure of the Unit 1H diesel engine, consideration has been given to the possibility of EDG overload as a contributing cause to engine degradation or as a failure mode. We note accordingly that the present Unit 2 technical specifications require loading to greater than or equal to the continuous duty rating of 2750 kw. As specified, this requirement has the potential for routine overloading of the EDG during surveillance testing.

By requiring loading " greater than or equal to" in the technical specification, the EDG could routinely be loaded above the

n continuous rating of 2750 kw to ensure compliance. Operator records are not totally conclusive in terms of past practice in that EDG

-load during surveillance testing has often been simply denoted as

" greater than 2750". In as much as departures from normal loading are noted in operator records (e.g. "2800", "2900",etc.), it has been assumed that " greater than 2750" represents loading between 2750 and 2800 kw consistent with &eter marking. Specifying an upper limit would eliminate the concern of an open-ended loading requirement.

More importantly, instrument error and other reading inaccuracies are not accounted for in this reading. Based on an approximate 5%

instrument loop span error, i 200kw error may be introduced to the operator reading. See Enclosure (1). This potentially can result in routine overloads during normal surveillance testing. If routine testing is actually performed at levels significantly above 2750 kw and instrument error is adverse, the time until required maintenance would be reduced and yet not be realized by operations or siaintenance personnel. This is easily seen in the 2 hour2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> overload test at 3025 kw. Conservatively adding 200 kw instrument error results in a 3225 kw load which has an operational rating ,

under four hours. In such a case, the. surveillance test would '

actus11y be degrading EDG availability and reliability.

In order to ensure that the EDG is not routinely overloaded for surveillance testing, the proposed revision specifies a loading which accounts for instrument error by lowering the specified loading to ensure the upper value does not exceed the continuous or

.the overload rating. Additionally, the proposed technical specification takes into account operational control capabilities and human factors characteristics of the meter by providing a i 50 kw operating band consistent with the 100 kw meter graduation. It is believed by Virginia Power and concurred with by the 4 manufacturer, that this approach to EDG loading adequately confirms EDG capability to perform as specified without the resultant potential for degrading diesel engine availability and reliability by virtue of the surveillance test.

For the 2750 kw continuous load rating, the proposed specified load is determined as follows:

1) upper limit = 2750 - 200 kw

. = 2550 kw

2) applying an operational band of i 50 kw results in a control band of 2500 - 2600 kw which matches the 100 kw graduations on
the meter The resultant span in actual load may then be from 2300 to 2800 kw, which corresponds to 83.6 to 101.8% of the 2750 kw continuous rating, i

- For the 3025 kw overload tect, the proposed specified load is determined as follows:

1) upper limit = 3025 kw - 200 kw

= 2825 kw

2) applying an operational band df i 50 kw results in a control band of 2775 - 2875 which is not well human factored with the 100 kw meter graduations. Accordingly, 25 kw is added to account for human factors in reading the meter. The control band becomes 2800 -

2900 km. i The resultant span in actual load may then be from 2600 to 3100 kw, which corresponds 94.5 to 112.7% of the 2750 kw continuous rating.

We note that the application of an operating band is meant as  ;

guidance to avoid routine overloading of the diesel engine during surveillance testing. Although the load will be monitored visually on the kw meter a momentary variation of bus loads may result in an assoc,iated momentary deviation of the operating band. Likewise, special testing at the direction of. the manufacturer may require loading in excess of that specified by the surveillance requirement. In either event, it is not the intent of this change request to so limit the operating . range as to result in frequent invalidation of tests due to anticipated momentary variations in load or special testing at higher loads. Such a consequence would be counterproductive in that it would result .in additional EDG starts. -Rather than just maintain a lower limit, as in the existing Technical Specification, we propose the concept of a control band as an operating target with the additional flexability referenced by asterisk ~ to acount for anticipated operational conditions and i

! events. -

$0.59 and Sinnificant Hazards Review l

! Pursuant to 10 CFR 50.59, we have reviewed the proposed supplemental

! Technical Specification change and have concluded that no i unreviewed safety question exists: (i) the probability of occurrence or the consequences of an accident or malfunction of equipment important to safety previously evaluated in the safety analysis report is not increased. Specifying an upper limit in electrical loading which addresses instrument error and EDG rated .,

output limitations with the manufacturer's recommendations is intended to enhance diesel reliability by avoiding inadvertant severe test conditions which can lead to premature failures. In this respect, the supplemental '. change should serve to enhance overall safety; (ii) the possibility for an accident or malfunction of a different type than any evaluated previously in the safety analysis report is not created. The proposed change only affects EDG loading surveillance practices and has no actual impact on any +

accident analysis; (iii) the margin of safety as defined in the basis for any Technical Specification is not reduced. The change in the loading requirement does not affect the capability of the EDG to i

s

_ _. . -,.~. -..-..- ,..- m.

perform its function. Rather, the purpose of the change is to increase overall diesel reliability. Likewise, pursuant to 10CFR50.92, we conclude that the proposed supplernental change involves no significant hazards considerations.

Conclusion ,

The proposed supplemental change in EDG loading is consistent with the previously submitted exigent request in that it attempts to redress immediate diesel engine reliability concerns identified as a result of the failures experienced on Unit 2. As noted in the original submittal, these changes do not represent a final optimization of testing requirements, however, we believe they will provide positive improvements to diesel generator reliability.

Following implementation and experience through our reliability improvement program, we intend to reassess the related specifications for both units and propose specifications which programatically address EDG reliability.

Enclo:;uro 1 INSTRUMENT ERROR 1 l

Instrument error is not accounted for in the present loading requirements of 1 the North Anna Un!.t 2 Energency Diesel Generators Technical Specifications. '

The proposed loading requirements account for 5% total instrument, calibration and reading inaccuracy. The following discussion provides the bases for the 5% error value. .

The current transformers (CT) and potential transformers (PT) that provide the I

transformed line current and voltage for the KW transducer introduces an error l into the instrument circuit which is effected by the difference in the actual windings ratio' (true ratio) and the nameplate ratio and the magnitude of the L load (burden) connected to the secondary windings of these transformers. A L winding ratio test is performed prior to operation of all cts and pts to determine the transformers true ratio. Although the test results for the L

' subject transformers are not yet available, typical results for this test on  !

comparable replacement devices indicate that the true ratio can be expected to be within 1% to 2% of the nameplate value. Based on this experience for similar grade devices and in lieu of the actual error, a winding ratio error of.21.5% is assumed to be both reasonable and consistent with common practice for replacement devices. This equates to a ratio correction factor.(RCF) of 1.015.

At generator loads up to 3025 kw the effect of CT secondary load or burden has a small effect on CT accuracy. A calculation using actual relay, transducer, and meter burdens and a typical CT excitation curve indicates that an error of

.3% is reasonable for this effect. With this additional error the RCF for the cts is 1.018.

The kw transducer receives input from the cts and pts and the resultant RCF for use with the transducer is the product of.the two RCFs, or PCF x RCF =

1.018 x 1.015 = 1.033. The percent error introduced by the cts"Eand PT8"is 3.3%.

Although the subject kw transducer error is not readily available, the manufacturer's catalog data specifies this error to be t .2%. Likewise, the kw meter 'is specified by manufacturer information to have an error of 2 1.5%

of full scale.

. Using the above information for the CT, PT, kw transducer and kw meter error l the instrument circuit error is determined to be as follows:

Instrument Error = (3.3) + (0.2) + (1.5) = 3.63%

An additional error of 2 1.0% is assumed for instrumentation calibration drift and another 0.595% accounts for error in reading the kw meter due to parallax.

P (The operator is assumed to be able to read the generator kw load to within i

+25kw, which yields a reading error of 0.595% of span.)

i The calculated total circuit error is the sua of these three components Instrument, Calibration, and Reading error, t

Total Circuit Error = 3.63 + 1.00 + 0.595 = 5.23%

s e Based on a 4200 kw meter span, this correlates to 220 kw. Correspondingly, a relative value of 2200 kw was chosen for calculating the surveillance requirement-loading limits. The use of a relative value for this calculation is reaJonable since based on human factors considerations, the error value will be adjusted to match actual meter graduations. Refer to Attachment 2.

ATTACHMENT 3 CLARIFICATIONS TO VIRGINIA POWER LETTER NO. SERIAL 85-029 DATED FEBRUARY 1, 1985

, . - - ~

.4 Clarifications To Virginia Power Letter, Serial No.85-029, Dated February 1, 1985 Virginia Power letter, Serial N9 85-29, dated February 1, 1985, requested changes in Unit 2 Technical Specification 3/4.8.1 on A.C.

Power Sources. This request was as a result of several recent failures on Unit 2 Emergency Diesel Generators (EDG). Preliminary investigations of the failures identified several aspects' of routine surveillance testing which appear to either contribute to engine degradation or accelerate the time to failure. The following clarifications to the original submittal are meant to augment or update the previous " Discussion of Proposed Changes" and do not alter the conclusions previously reached.

Unit 1 Diesel Failure On February 1, 1985, Unit 1 experienced a diesel engine failure similar to the diesel engine failures recently experienced on Unit

2. Table 1 provides a chronological summary of this "1H" diesel engine failure.

During August, 1984, the "1H" EDG was inadvertantly overloaded to 3600 kw, which is in excess of the continuous rating for the EDG.

Under the direction of the manufacturers, the diesel generator set was inspected for damage. Inspection of the diesel engine included the upper crank main and thrust bearings; vertical drive gear faces; No. 5 and No. 11 upper rod bearings, piston pins and bushings, tolerances were measured on all rod bearings. The results of these inspections indicated little or no wear and all measured parts were

,= within tolerance. A subsequent surveillance test was successfully n performed on the EDG concurrent with vibration measurements. Based on these results, no further inspections were recommended by the manufacturer.

In light of.the previous overload condition, Colt Industries has verbally indicated that the recent "1H" diesel engine failure is most likely related to the previous overload condition.

Overloading, as a failure mode, may have commonality between Unit 1 and Unit 2 diesel engine failures as identified in this supplemental change request. However, this "1H" diesel engine failure is attributed to an isolated and severe overload which is a non-routine event. The Unit 2 diesel engine failures occurred during or following routine testing. Based on this difference, we believe the

, "1H" diesel engine failure'to be unrelated to the Unit 2 diesel engine failures. As a consequence, the hypothesized dichotomy of diesel engine failure experience between Unit 1 and Unit 2 as characterized in our original submittal and attributed in part to the differences in surveillance testing remains unaltered.

'. 6 s

i IL Definition of Failure l In the original submittal, Unit 1 EDG failure experience was variously characterized in contrast to Unit 2 experience as "has not i experienced similar failures", "has experienced no failures to date", and " experienced no diesel -failures". Considering the e definition of " valid failure" as used in Regulatory Guide 1.108, l clarification of the terminology used in the original submittal is

~

warranted.

. It was our intent in the original submittal to contrast enaine failure . experience between Unit 1 and Unit 2. Accordingly, the characterizations of "no similar failures" or "no diesel failures" were meant. to represent a lack of catastrophic engine-related

, failures such as cracked cylinder liners, scored pistons, or broken ,

piston rings (i.e. failures which constitute engine damage).

Correspondingly, these characterizations are not meant to exclude (

the possibility that " valid failures" per Regulatory Guide 1.108 j have occurred for Unit 1, only that such failures are not engine damage related. As identified in NUREG-CR-2989 (Reliability of Emergency AC Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants), Unit 1 failures have previously ocurred. None of these failures to our knowledge ,

l' have resulted in engine-related damage, except for the most recent t failure of the "1H" EDG.  !

Emeraency Diesel Generator History Tables 2 and' 3' are provided to summarize significant events ,

experienced during testing or maintenance of the Unit 1 and 2 EDGs .;'

' subsequent to receipt of the respective plant operating license.

l The events identified represent operational problems or EDG trips, but are not necessarily valid failures per Regulatory Guide 1.108.

These tables are based on a review of EDG-related events in LER's, maintenance histories, and NUREG-CR-2989. The tables consist of' events-which have subjectively.been determined to be significant in

. characterizing existing diesel generator reliability but do not .

include every incident in which the EDG may.have been declared -[

inoperable per the Technical Specification.  !

J As noted above, to our knowledge no previous operational event on Unit 1, except the most recent "1H" diesel failure, has resulted in major engine damage. The only similar previous events on Unit 1 are high crankcase-pressure trips. (See Table 2) In as much as these trips did not result in ~ any engine failure and the trip function itself is overridden' in an emergency demand situation, previous Unit 1 EDG experiences are of limited significance to the proposed changes submitted in the original request. None of these previous events alters. the comparison or conclusion in the original submittal regarding diesel engine failure experience between Unit 1 and Unit 2.

L

!- Table - 3. summarizes Unit 2 EDG operational problems or trips, including the recent-2H and 2J EDG events in December, 1984, which

f resulted in engine damage. Beyond similar high crankcase pressure '

trips, the only other failure resulting in engine damage occurred on the "2J" EDG_in June, 1983. The ' root cause of this failure was never definitively determined although the manufacturer postulated the failures were indicative'of continued overloading in excess of the ~ continuous rating. . As Tables 4, 5, 6, and 7 document for the last two years of recorded operation, the EDGs were not routinely or intentionly' overloaded during surveillance testing. In addition, the proposed modification to the surveillance requirements made by this submittal will account for instrument error which will thereby

~ mitigate the potential for routine or inadvertant overloading of  :

the diesel due to the existing technical specification 1

-requirements.

Table 4. 5, 6, and 7. provide a summary of EDG starts for 1983 and 1984. -This data was compiled from a combination of completed maintenance, operation, and- periodic test procedures, diesel generator log books, and control room operator logs. Although this

.is a more complete compilation of starts than was available for the

. original subeittal, this information should be considered representative rather than complete and definitive. Identified starts for this time period are as follows:

"1H" EDG - 83 starts "2H" EDG - 138 starts "1J" EDG - 76 starts "2J" EDG - 118 starts Total Unit 1 - 159 starts Total Unit 2 - 256 starts In this- two year period, the Unit 2 EDGs have experienced ~

approximately 60% more starts than Unit 1 EDGs. In a revision to ,

the original. submittal,'of those Unit 2 starts which are presently identified, approximately 38% are due to surveillance testing, 29%

to maintenance, 27% to operability testing, 3% to unintentional or spurious ~ automatic- starts, and 3% remaining unclassified. The relative changes in percentages from that noted in the original I submittal reflect the accounting of the more recent accelerated p testing following the _ Unit 2 diesel. failures in December,1984. '

Slow Start Surveillance Test Procedure <

L

!' In ' both the technical specification change request (Surveillance Requirement 4.8.1.1.2.a) and the corresponding basis accelerating to synchronous speed and loading the EDG is referred to as a gradual process. The basis refers to these actions as " gradual ramping".

In actuality, acceleration to synchronous speed is a two-step i.

process. The diesel rapidly accelerates to approximately 450 RPM and then' is " gradual ramped" to 900 RPM over a one to two minute period. In as much as the proposed procedure specifies discrete loads 'during " gradual ramping",' the loading process is - more ,

l. . accurately characterized as "staircasing".

l~

During a special test of the EDG on February 13, 1985, to verify the acceptability of the proposed procedure, the EDG was accelerated to l and held at several discrete speeds to obtain various test data. At l

l .-

one of these hold points, the diesel was thought to abnormally vibrate. Colt Industries has been contacted to identify whether the diesel has any critical speeds which must be avoided to prevent engine damage. Colt has stated that the diesel generator has no harmful critical speeds between 450 and 900 RPM. Refer to Attachment 4 for additional information.

Existing Maintenance Program A summary of the existing diesel maintenance program is provided in Table 8. This program has been revised subsequent to the recent failures experienced on Unit 2 EDGs. As identified in Attachment 4, maintenance criteria and practices will be reviewed as part of the proposed reliability improvement program. Additionally, twelve maintenance personnel have been sent to the manufacturer's facility for training since.the recent Unit 2 EDG failures. This training includes one week of diesel engine theory and one week of " hands on" engine tear down and repair.

G ATTACHMENT 4 PROPOSED DIESEL RELIABILITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM

4 6

Proposed Diesel Reliability Improvement Program A program to improve and maintain the overall reliability of the emergency diesel generators (EDG) will be implemented at North Anna Power Station. Although the re-liability improvement program has not been completely finalized 'and is likely to evolve with experience, we propose to implement this program as currently outlined concurrently with implementation of the proposed technical specifications. Specific components of this program as presently configured are as follows:

1) Monitoring Surveillance Program - The diesel engine manufacturer,

. Colt Industries, has recommended the recording of

, engine performance parameters for trend analysis as part of i: routine surveillance testing. By trending engine performance parameters, it is hoped to predict and prevent failures before they -occur as well as identifying root causes for the recently observed diesel engine failures. The program as presently I

specified includes monitoring and trending the following parameters during surveillance testing:

1) lube oil header pressure, ii) lube oil temperatures, and 111) crankcase vacuum The following item will be recorded before and after each test:

iv) lube oil level-record any additions -

In addition, lube oil and the lube oil strainer and filter

, will be inspected, sampled, and/or analyzed for wear products and chemistry quarterly.

In a recently received letter dated February 27, 1985, Colt Industries proposed a monitoring and trending program specifying thirty-seven measurements during routine surveillance testing.

This recommendation will be reviewed as part of the monitoring

surveillance program to determine the parameters to be added to i the program. Draft ANSI Standard OM-16, Inservice Testing of 1 Diesel Drives In Nuclear Power Stations, will also be reviewed to determine if additional parameters should routinely be monitored, trended, and analyzed as part of this program. We expect that both of these reviews will be completed by May, 1985.

Although the proposed monitoring surveillance program has not been finalized and is likely to evolve with experience, we propose to implement this program as outlined above concurrently with implementation of proposed technical specifications.

2) Discrete Frequency Spectra Analysis - The use of Discrete Frequency Spectra analysis of the EDG's for predictive analysis and preventative maintenance indication was initiated in June
1984. This program is in the developmental stages at North

i e1 :o r

Anna Power Station. Spectra have been obtained, but reduction of the data into component signatures has not been completed.

- The use of acoustical analysis is concurrently being investigated for possible application. Based on preliminary program results, an evaluation will be made later in'1985 to determine the extent

. and continued application, it,any, of this effort to the diesel

reliability program.
3) Evaluation of Past and Present Practices - An evaluation of past and present diesel maintenance records and operating history
will be performed by an independent third party consultant. This evaluation will attempt to identify areas for improving maintenance and operating practices and also to determine the probable root -

cause(s) of previous diesel engine component failures. As part of this evaluation, the existing maintenance procedures will be reviewed to ensure compliance with the current guidance provided'in the EDG technical manuals. Virginia Power has recently contracted Trident Engineering as consultants for this program. This third party evaluation will begin in March, 1985.

4) Slow Start Surveillance Testing Procedure Training -

1 Operations personnel will be trained on the proposed -

procedures for testing resulting from the Technical

. Specification change request. This training is in progress and is expected to be complete by March 14,.1985.

As discussed in Attachment 3, engine vibration was noted during the special EDG test on February 13, 1985. Although Colt Industries has stated that the diesel generator has no harmful critical speeds between 450 and 900 RPM, the proposed slow start procedure will be modified to caution the operator to observe for any excessive engine vibration and to quickly pass through such speed if vibration is noted. In addition, the! proposed procedures will be revised to alert operations' personnel that during the slow start test of the EDG, the EDG being tested is technically inoperable per(the Technical Specification. This condition will exist for up to i several minutes at the start of the proposed procedure as a result of local control during ramping up to synchronous speed.

  • l
5) Japanese Experience - As part of our technical exchange program with the Japan Atom'ic Power Company, we have requested and intend to review the technical specifications, test procedures, and other related maintenance information

, associated with the exemplary EDG reliability experienced by the Japanese. A limited amount of information has already i been exchanged. We anticipate a more detailed exchange j and review to occur late in 1985.

6) Nuclear Guidelines For Diesel Operation - The technical manuals, maintenance criteria, and procedures will be reviewed
to ensure that they reflect plant specific standby diesel application. Colt Industries has been contacted in this regard
j. ' and a follow up meeting to outline this effort is planned in i

7 ** a April, 1985. At that time, a schedule for implementation will be determined.

7) Maintenance Training - As discussed in Attachment 3, training of maintenance personnel at the manufacturer's facility will continue on a routine basis. This training will include both theory and

" hands on" application. The n' ext class of twelve personnel is tentatively planned for August, 1985. In addition, Colt Industries will be sending a representative in April, 1985, to provide a three day training course for electricians.
