j The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel 7 generators are consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9 l

' Selection of Diesel Generator Cet Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," March 10, i 1971, and 1.108 " Periodic Testir g of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite l Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977, i and 1.137, " Fuel Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979.

Other provisions are derived from Generic Letter 93-05 "Line-Item Technical Specifications improvements to Reduce Surveillance Requirements for Testing During Power Operation" 94-01 " Removal of Accelerated Testing and Special Reporting Requirements for Emergency Diesel Generators," and NUREG 1432 Standard Technical Specifications Combustion Engineering Plants.

The minimum voltage and frequency stated in the Surveillance Requirement are those necessary to ensure the diesel generator can accept the Design Basis Accident loading while maintaining acceptable voltage and frequency levels.

Stable operation at the nominal voltage and frequency values is also essential to establishing diesel generator OPERABILITY, but a time constraint is not imposed.

This is because a typical diesel generator will experience a period of voltage and frequency oscillations prior to reaching steady state operation if these oscillations are not dampened out by load application. This period may extend beyond the 10 second acceptance criteria and could be a cause for failing the Surveillance Requirement. In lieu of a time constraint in the Surveillance Requirement, the actual time to reach steady state operation is monitored and )

trended. This is to ensure there is no voltage regulator or govemor degradation '

which could cause a diesel generator to become Inoperable. The 10 seconds in the Surveillance Requirement is met when the diesel generator first reaches the specified voltage and frequency, at which time the output breaker would close if an automatic actuation had occurred.

The diesel generator Survedlance testing perfomled once per 18 months during shutdown is in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.108, Regulatory Position C.2.

The maximum voltage limit in surveillance test 4.8.1.1.2.e.2 was increased to l 5023 volts in response to NRC Information Notice 91-13; inadequate Testing of Emergency Diesel Generators. A maximum voltage limit is provided to ensure that components electrically connected to the diesel generator are not damaged as a result of the momentary voltage excursion experienced during this test.

The Surveillance Requirement for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129, " Maintenance Testing and teplacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants,"

February 1V78, and IEEE Std 450-1980, "lEEE Recommended Practice for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Table 4.8-2 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage, and specific gravity. The limits for the designat?d pilot cells float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge l specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity. The normal limits for '

each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity with an average specific gravity of all the connected cells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity, ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

The Onsite Power System includes three 4.16 kV ESF buses (3A3-S, 383-S, and 1 3AB3-S). Power for safety related loads is normally supplied by the non-safety related 4.16 kV buses (3A2 and 382) of the Offsite Power System. Should offsite power from either of these buses be lost, the Onsite Power System will receive power automatically from the appropriate diesel generator. Non-safety related loads will be automatically disconnected from the safety Onsite Power System. Each ESF bus (3A3-S or 383-S) is redundant to the other; each can supply sufficient power to its safety related loads to enable safe shutdown, or to mitigate the consequences of a design basis accident. The third bus,3AB3-S, may be connected to either 3A3-S or 3B3-S, but never to both. Therefore 3AB3-S is not considered I as a third, separate source of ESF power. The three ESF buses and their loads are l tested as specified in Surveillance Requirements 4.8.1.1.2.e.3 and 4.8.1.1.2.e.5. I Surveillance requirement 4.8.1.1.2.e.1 requires the verification at least once per 18 months of the diesel generators' ability to reject a load of greater than or equal to 498 Kw while specific voltage and frequency constraints are maintained. The intent of this Surveillance requirement is to require the diesel generator to reject the largest single load. The largest single load on the diesel generator is the Essential Chiller which requires 430 Kw under tornado / missile conditions. The difference between the  ;

specified 498 Kw load in the Surveillance requirement and the 430 Kw required by the actuallargest single load is a margin of conservatism. A method of rejecting a load greater than or equal to 498 Kw ,

utilizing the wet and dry cooling tower fans has been developed and will satisfy the Surveillance requirement.

The loading range for the diesel generators (4000-4400 Kw) as specified in surveillance requirements is equal to approximately 90 to 100 percent of its continuous rating. This provides for a range to conduct testing without inadvertently overloading of the diesel generators. Inadvertent overloading creates unnecessary wear and mechanical stress that may adversely affect the reliability and longevity of the diesel generators.
