3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS i

BASES ,,

i 4.8.2, and 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES, D.C. SOURCES, and ONSI.TE POWER The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and 0.C power sources and associated distribu-tion systems during operation ensures that suf ficient 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 r,pecified independent and redundant A.C. ar.d D.C.

power sources cnd distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General

Design Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50. '

The ACTION rcqu~rements 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 con-sistent with the initial condition af,sumptions of-the safety analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite A.C. and 0.C. power i

sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions <

coincident with an assumed loss-of-of fsite power and single failure of the other onsite A.C. tource. The A.C. and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory Guide 1.93, " Availability of Electrical Fower Sources," December 1974 and Appendix A to Generic Letter 84-15. " Proposed Staf f Position to Improve and Maintain Diesel Generator Reliability." 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-driver, 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 scans to administrative 1y check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are O, out"of service for maintenance or other reasons. It does not mean to perform ;i the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABillTY of the component.

g [la [- '

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 refuelir.g conoition 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 based on the_ recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9r Revision 2 " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," December, 1979; 1.108,_" Periodic Testi_ng of Diesel Generator Units-Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, t

- August 1977; and 1,137,

  • Fuel-011 Systems for Standby Diesel Generatcas,"

Revision 1, October 1979, Appendix A to Generic Letter 84-15 and Generic Letter 83-26, " Clarification of Surveillance Requirements for Diesel Fuel Impurity Level Tests." '
