3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.9 Auxiliary Feedwater System Applicability Applies to periodic testing requirements of the turbine-driveh and motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pumps.

Objective To verify the operability of the auxiliary feedwater (AFW) system and its ability to respond properly when required.

Specifications (1) The position of valves necessary to ensure auxiliary feedwater flow to the steam generators shall be verified by a monthly inspection. Anytime maintenance is performed on the auxiliary feedwater system which alters valve alignments, an operator shall check that the AFW system valves are properly aligned, to ensure AFW flow to the steam generators, and a second operator shall independently verify proper valve alignment.

(2) The operability of the motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump and the steam turbine-driven auxiliary feedwater pump shall be confirmed at least monthly.

(3) The operability of auxiliary feedwater pumps' steam generator level regulating valves HCV-1107A, HCV-11078, HCV-1108A, HCV-11088, and auxiliary feedwater cross-tie valve HCV-1384 shall be confirmed at least every three months.

(4) The capabilities of the motor-driven and turbine-driven auxiliary l

feedwater pumps shall be verified by using local pressure j

indicators and flow indicators in the control room. The dis-charge pressure will be verified to be 40 psig above the steam generator pressure at rated steam flow.

.(5) Followingcoldshutdognandpriortoraisingthereactorcoolant I

temperature above 300 F, the motor-driven auxiliary feedwater pump shall be tested to verify the normal flow path for auxiliary feedwater to the steam generators.

(6) At least once per 18 months during shutdown by:

l a.

Verifying that each automatic valve in the flow path actuates to its correct position upon receint of each auxiliary feedwater actuation test signal.

c i

b.

Verifying that each auxiliary feedwater pump starts as designed automatically upen receipt of each auxiliary feedwater actuation test signal.

3.0 SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 3.9 Auxiliary Feedwater System (Continued)

Basis

\\

w The valve position verifications performed monthly and following auxiliary feedwater system maintenance will confirm the avail-ability of an; auxiliary feedoater flow path to the steam generators.

The testing of the auxiliary feedwater pumps every month and after cold shutdowns will verify their operability by recirculating water to the emergency feedwater storage tank.

i Operating the regulating valves (HCV-1107A, HCV-1107B, HCV-1108A and HCV-1108B) one at a time every three months and after cold shutdowns will confirm a flow path to the steam generators and operability of the valves.

Proper functioning of the steam turbine admission valve and starting of the feedwater pump will demonstrate the integrity of the steam driven pump.

Verification of correct operation will be made both from instrumentation within the main control room and direct visual observation of the pumps.

The operability of the auxiliary feedwater system ensures ghat the reactor coolant system can be cooled down to less than 350 F from normal operating conditions in the event of a total loss of off-site power.
