! B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.1 AC Sources-Operating BASES BACKGROUND

! The Class 1E Electrical Power Distribution System AC sources consist of the offsite power sources (preferred or normal power sources and alternate (s)), and the onsite standby power sources (Train A and Train 8 diesel generators (DGs)).

As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 17 (Ref.1), the design of the AC electrical power system provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.

The onsite Class IE AC Distribution System is divided into redundant load groups (trains) so that the loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each train has connections to two preferred offsite power sources and a single DG.

One source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #1) for each unit is normally provided through Reserve Auxiliary transformers XR1 and XR2 for the specific unit. XR1 feeds one 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train A) A04 and XR2 feeds the other 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train B) A06 of the onsite Class lE AC distribution system for each unit. The second source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #2) is provided by the other unit's Reserve Auxiliary Transformers XR1 and XR2 through the train oriented 4.16 KV ESF bus crossties between the two units. In addition, each class IE Switchgear can be connected to a third offsite power source via the Unit Auxiliary Transformers by manually removing the link in the isolated phase bus between the Main Generator and the Main transformer of the non-operating Unit and racking-in the 4.16 KV circuit breaker which is normally left racked-out (withdrawn) into the fully equipped cubicle connected to the Unit Auxiliary transformer of the same Unit.

An offsite circuit includes all breakers, transformers, switches, interrupting devices, cabling, and controls required to transmit power from the offsite transmission network to the onsite Class 1E ESF bus or buses.

Certain required unit loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequence in arder to prevent overloading the transformer supplying offsite power to the onsite Class IE (continued)

i BASES BACKGROUND Distribution System. Within 77 seconds after the initiating I (continued) signal is received, all automatic and permanently connected lords needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe l condition are returned to service via the programmed time interval load sequence.

The onsite standby power source for each 4.16 kV ESF bus is 1 a dedicated DG. DGs G002 and G003 are dedicated to ESF buses A04 and A06, respectively. A DG starts automatically i on a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS) (i.e., low l pressurizer pressure or high containment pressure signals)  !

l or on an ESF bus degraded voltage or undervoltage signal.

After the DG has started, it will automatically tie to its respective bus after offsite power is tripped as a consequence of ESF bus undervoltage or degraded voltage, independent of or coincident with an SIAS signal. The DGs will also start and operate in the standby mode without tying to the ESF bus on an SIAS alone. Following the trip of offsite power, an undervoltage signal strips nonpermanent loads from the ESF bus. When the DG is tied to the ESF bus, loads are then sequentially connected to its respective ESF bus by the programmed time interval load sequence. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG by automatic load application.

l In the event of a loss of preferred power, the ESF electrical loads are automatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safe reactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (DBA) such as a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).

Certain required unit loads are returned to service in a  ;

predetermined sequence in order to prevent overloading the DG in the process. Within 77 seconds after the initiating signal is received, all loads needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe condition are returned to service.

l Ratings for Train A and Train 8 DGs satisfy the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The continuous service rating of each DG is 4700 kW with 10% overload permissible for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period. However, for standby class of service like the San Onofre DGs the manufacturer allows specific overload values up to 116.1% of continuous duty rating based on the total hours the DG is i

l AC Sources-Operating B 3.8.1 BASES BACKGROUND operated per year. The ESF loads that are powered from the (continued) 4.16 kV ESF buses are listed in Reference 2.

APPLICABLE . The initial conditions of DBA and transient analyses in the SAFETY ANALYSES UFSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 4) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 5), assume ESF systems are OPERABLE. The AC electrical power sources are designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System (RCS), and containment design limits are not

! exceeded. These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.

The OPERABILITY of the AC electrical power sources is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident .

analyses and is based upon meeting the design basis of the unit. This results in maintaining at least one train of the

! onsite or offsite AC sources OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of:

a. An assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC power; and
b. A worst case single failure. I t

The AC sources satisfy Criterion 3 of NRC Policy Statement.

LC0 Two qualified circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E Electrical Power Distribution System and separate and independent DGs for each train ensure availability of the required power to shut down the reactor and maintain it in a safe shutdown condition after an anticipated operational occurrence (A00) or a postulated DBA.

Qualified offsite circuits are those that are described in the UFSAR and &rn part of the licensing basis for the unit.

AC Sources-0perating B 3.8.1 BASES LC0 Each offsite circuit must be capable of maintaining rated (continued) frequency and voltage, and accepting required loads during an accident, while connected to the ESF buses.

One source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #1) for each unit is normally provided through Reserve Auxiliary Transformers XR1 and XR2 for the specific unit. XR1 feeds one 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train A) A04 and XR2 feeds the other 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train 8) A06 of the onsite Class 1E AC distribution system for each unit. The second source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #2) is provided by the other unit's Reserve Auxiliary Transfo' rmers XR1 and XR2 through the train oriented 4.16 KV'ESF bus crossties between the two units. In addition, each class lE Switchgear can be connected to a third offsite power source via the Unit Auxiliary Transformers by manually removing the link in the isolated phase bus between the Main Generator and the Main transforner of the non-operating Unit and racking-in the 4.16 KV circuit breaker which is normally left racked-out (withdrawn) into the fully equipped cubicle connected to the Unit Auxiliary transformer of the same Unit.

Each DG must be capable of starting, accelerating to rated speed and voltage, and connecting to its respective ESF bus on detection of bus undervoltage. This will be accomplished within 10 seconds. Each DG must also be capable of

' accepting required loads within the assumed loading sequence intervals, and continue to operate until offsite power can be restored to the ESF buses. These capabilities are required to be met from a variety of initial conditions such -

as: DG in standby with the engine hot, DG in standby with the engine at ambient conditions, and DG operating in a parallel test mode. A DG is considered already operating if the DG voltage is a 3924 and s 4796 volts and the frequency is a 58.8 and 5 61.2 Hz.

Proper sequencing of loads, including tripping of nonessential loads, is a required function for DG OPERABILITY.

The AC sources in one train must be separate and independent (to the extent possible) of the AC sources in the other train. For the DGs, separation and independence are complete.

i (continued)

SAN ON0FRE--UNIT 2 B 3.8-4 Amendment No. 127

AC Sources-Operating 8 3.8.1 BASES LC0  ;

For the offsite AC sources, separation and independence are (continued) to the extent practical. A circuit may be connected to more l than one ESF bus, with fast transfer capability to the other i j

circuit OPERABLE, and not violate separation criteria.

APPLICABILITY The AC sources and associated automatic load sequence timers are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3. and 4 to ensure that:

1

a. Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of A00s or abnormal transients; and
b. Adequate core cooling is provided and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained i in the event of a postulated DBA. I The AC power requirements for MODES 5 and 6 are covered in LCO 3.8.2, "AC Sources -Shutdown."

ACTIONS A.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with the one offsite circuit inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining required offsite circuit on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies " perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met.

However, if a second required circuit fails SR 3.8.1.1, the second offsite circuit is inoperable, and Condition C, for two offsite circuits inoperable, is entered.

According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue in Condition A for a period that should not exceed 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. With one offsite circuit inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and the potenti11 for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for a challenge to the unit safety (continued)

B 3.8.1

) BASES 1

SURVEILLANCE Where the SRs discussed herein specify voltage and frequency REQUIREMENTS tolerances, the following is applicable. The minimum steady i

(continued) state output voltage of 3924 V is 90% of the nominal 4360 V ,

output voltage. This value, which is consistent with ANSI C84.1-1982 (Ref.11), allows for voltage drop to the

{

terminals of 4000 V motors whose minimum operating voltage j

is specified as 90% or 3600 V. It also allows for voltage drops to motors and other equipment down through the 120 V i

level where minimum operating voltage is also usually specified as 80% of name plate rating. The specified 4

maximum steady state output voltage of 4796 V allows for the maximum operating- voltage specified for 4000 V motors. It ensures that for a lightly loaded distribution system, the voltage at the terminals of 4000 V motors is no more than i the maximum rated operating voltages. The specified minimum i and maximum frequencies of the DG are 58.8 Hz and-61.2 Hz, '

respectively. These values are equal to 2% of the 60 Hz nominal frequency and are derived from the recommendations given in Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

SR 3.8.1.1 This SR assures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distribution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power. The breaker alignment verifies that each breaker is in its correct position to ensure that distribution buses and loads are connected to their preferred power source, and that appropriate independence of offsite circuits is maintained.

The 7 day Frequency is adequate since breaker position is not likely to change without the operator being aware of it and because its status is displayed in the control room.

SR 3.8.1.2 and SR 3.8.1.7-These SRs help to ensure the availability of the standby electrical power supply to mitigate DBAs and transients and to maintain the unit in a safe shutdown condition.

To minimize the wear on moving parts that do not get lubricated when the engine is not running, these SRs are modified by a Note (Note 2 for SR 3.8.1.2) to indicate that all DG starts for these Surveillances may be preceded by an (continued)

%SES SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.1.2 and SR 3.8.1.7 REQUIREMENTS (continued) i engine prelube period and followed by a warmup period prior to loading. l For the purposes of SR 3.8.1.2 and SR 3.8.1.7 testing, the DGs are started from standby conditions. Standby conditions for a DG mean the diesel engine coolant. and oil are being continuously circulated and temperature is being maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations.

In order to reduce stress and wear on diesel engines, the DG manufacturer recommends a modified start in which the starting speed of DGs is limited, warmup is limited to this lower speed, and the DGs are gradually accelerated to synchronous speed prior to loading. This is the intent of I Note 3.

SR 3.8.1.7 requires that, at a 184 day Frequency, the DG starts from standby conditions and achieves required voltage and frequency within 10 seconds. The 10 second start requirement supports the assumptions of the design basis LOCA analysis in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 5).

The 10 second start requirement is not applicable to SR 3.8.1.2 (see Note 3) when a modified start procedure as described above is used.

Since SR 3.8.1.7 requires a 10 second start, it is more .

restrictive than SR 3.8.1.2 and it may be performed in lieu l of SR 3.8.1.2. This is the intent of Note 1 of SR 3.8.1.2.

The norm 1131 day Frequency for SR 3.8.1.2 (see Table 3.8.1-1, " Diesel Generator Test Schedule," in the accompanying LC0) and the 184 day Frequency for SR 3.8.1.7 are consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). These Frequencies provide adequate assurance of DG OPERABILITY, while r'inimizing degradation resulting from testing.

SR 3.8.1.3 This Surveillance verifies that the DGs are capable of synchronizing with the offsite electrical system and accepting loads greater than or equal to the equivalent of (continued)

REQUIREMENTS the maximum expected accident loads listed in Reference 2.

l A minimum run time of 60 minutes is required to stabilize l

engine temperatures, while minimizing the time that the DG l is connected to the offsite source.

Although no power factor requirements are established by this SR, the DG is normally operated at a power factor between 0.8 lagging and 1.0. The 0.8 value is the design rating of the machine, while 1.0 is an operational limitation to ensure circulating currents are minimized.

The normal 31 day Frequency for this Surveillance (Table 3.8.1-1) is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

This SR is modified by four Notes. Note 1 indicates that diesel engine runs for this Surveillance may include gradual loading, as recommended by the manufacturer, so that mechanical stress and wear on the diesel engine are minimized. Note 2 states that momentary transients because of changing bus loads do not invalidate this test.

Similarly, momentary power factor transients above the limit '

will not invalidate the test. Note 3 indicates that this l Surveillance should be conducted on only one DG at a time in order to avoid common cause failures that might result from offsite circuit or grid perturbations. Note 4 stipulates a prerequisite requirement for performance of this SR. A successful DG start must precede this test to credit satisfactory performance.

SR 3.8.1.4 This SR provides verification that the level of fuel oil in the day tank is at or above the level selected to ensure adequate fuel oil for a minimum of 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> of DG operation at full load plus 10%.

Microbiological fouling is a major cause of fuel oil

degradation. There are numerous microorganisms that can grey in fuel oil and cause fouling, but all must have a

i potential for water entrainment in the fuel oil during DG l operation. Water may come from any of several sources, I including condensation, ground water, rain water, f

contaminated fuel oil, and from breakdown of the fuel oil by microorganisms. Frequent checking for and removal of accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data j

SURVEILLANCE Diesel Generator Test Schedule REQUIREMENTS i

(continued) The DG test schedule (Table 3.8.1-1) implements the J recommendations of Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The purpose of this test schedule is to provide j timely test data to establish a confidence level associated i with the goal to maintain DG reliability above 0.95 per 3 demand.

[ According to Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 (Ref. 3), each DG unit should be tested at least once every 31 days.

According to Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1021 (Ref. 14) and 10 CFR 50.63(a)(3)(ii) (Ref. 15), whenever'a DG has j- experienced 4 or more valid failures in the last 25 valid tests, the maximum time between tests is reduced to 7 days.

Four failures in 25 valid tests is a failure rate of 0.16, j or the threshold of acceptable DG performance, and hence may be an early indication of the degradation of DG reliability.

When considered in the light of a long history of tests, however, 4 failures in the last 25 valid tests may only be a

~ statistically probable distribution of random events.

Increasing the test Frequency will allow for a more timely 1

accumulation of additional test data upon which to base

!. Judgment of the reliability of the DG. The increased test Frequency must be maintained until seven consecutive, l failure free tests have been performed.

j B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS l

! B 3.8.1 AC Sources-0perating l BASES BACKGROUND The Class 1E Electrical Power Distribution System AC sources consist of the offsite power sources (preferred or normal power sources and alternate (s)), and the onsite standby power sources (Train A and . Train 8 diesel generators (DGs)).

As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 17 (Ref. 1), the design of the AC electrical power system provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.

The onsite Class IE AC Distribution System is divided into redundant load groups (trains) so that the loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each train has connections to two preferred offsite power sources and a single DG.

One source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #1) for each unit is normally provided through Reserve Auxiliary

. transformers XR1 and XR2 for the specific unit. XR1 feeds one 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train A) A04 and XR2 feeds the other 4.16 KV ESF bus (Train B) A06 of the onsite Class IE AC distribution system for each unit. The second source of offsite power (Offsite circuit #2) is provided by the other unit's Reserve Auxiliary Transformers XR1 and XR2 through l the train oriented 4.16 KV ESF bus crossties between the two '

units. In addition, each class IE Switchgear can be connected to a third offsite power source via the Unit .

Auxiliary Transformers by manually removing the link in the  !

isolated phase bus between the Main Generator and the Main transformer of the non-operating Unit and racking-in the 4.16 KV circuit breaker which is normally left racked-out (withdrawn) into the fully equipped cubicle connected to the Unit Auxiliary transformer of the same Unit.

An offsite circuit includes all breakers, transformers, switches, interrupting devices, cabling, and controls required to transmit power from the offsite transmission network to the onsite Class 1E ESF bus or buses.

Certain required unit loads are returned to service in a prer'atermined sequence in order to prevent overloading the transformer supplying offsite power to the onsite Class IE l

AC Sources-Operating B 3.8.1 BASES BACKGROUND Distribution System. Within 77 seconds after the initiating (continued) signal is received, all automatic and permanently connected ,

loads needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe l condition are returned to service via the programmed time l interval load sequence.

1 The onsite standby power source for each 4.16 kV ESF bus is a dedicated DG. DGs G002 and G003 are dedicated to ESF l

' buses A04 and A06, respectively. A DG starts automatically on a safety injection actuation signal (SIAS) (i.e., low pressurizer pressure or high containment pressure signals) or on an ESF bus degraded voltage or undervoltage signal.

After the DG has started, it will automatically tie to its respective bus after offsite power is tripped as a consequence of ESF bus undervoltage or degraded voltage, independent of or coincident with an SIAS signal. The DGs  !

will also start and operate in the standby mode without i 4

tying to the ESF bus on an SIAS alone. Following the trip )

of offsite power, an undervoltage signal strips nonpermanent j loads from the ESF bus. When the DG is tied to the ESF bus, 1 loads are then sequentially connected to its respective ESF l bus by the programmed time interval load sequence. The l sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG by automatic load application. 1 In the event of a loss of preferred power, the ESF electrical loads are automatically connected to the DGs in sufficient time to provide for safe reactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (DBA) such as a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).

Certain required unit loads are returned to service in a predetermined sequence in order to prevent overloading the DG in the process. Within 77 seconds after the initiating signal is received, all loads needed to recover the unit or maintain it in a safe condition are returned to service.

Ratings for Train A and Train B DGs satisfy the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The continuous service rating of each DG is 4700 kW with 10% overload permissible for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period.

one offsite circuit inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining required offsite circuit on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies " perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met.

1 SURVEILLANCE Where the SRs discussed herein specify voltage and frequency i REQUIREMENTS tolerances, the following is applicable. The minimum steady (continued) state output voltage of 3924 V is 90% of the nominal 4360 V i l

output voltage. This value, which is consistent with l t

ANSI C84.1-1982 (Ref.11), allows for voltage drop to the terminals of 4000 V motors whose minimum operating voltage

! is specified as 90% or 3600 V. It also allows for voltage drops to motors and other equipment down through the 120 V level where minimum operating voltage is also usually specified as 80% of name plate rating. The specified maximum steady state output voltage of 4796 V allows for the j maximum operating voltage specified for 4000 V motors. It ensures that for a lightly loaded distribution systea, tFa

voltage at the terminals of 4000 V motors is no more that the maximum rated operating voltages. The specified mivmum and maximum frequencies of the DG are 58.8 Hz and 61.2 Hz, respectively. These values are equal to 2% of the 60 Hz

, nominal frequency and are derived from the recommendations l given in Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

SR 3.8.1.1 This SR assures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distribution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power. The breaker alignment verifies that each breaker is in its correct position to etc re that distribution buses and loads are connected to their preferred power source, and that appropriate independence of offsite circuits is maintained.

The 7 day Frequency is adequate since breaker position is not likely to change without the operator being aware of it and because its status is displayed in the control room.

REQUIREMENTS engine prelube period and followed by a warmup period prior to loading.

For the purposes of SR 3.8.1.2 and SR 3.8.1.7 testing, the DGs are started from standby conditions. Standby conditions for a DG mean the diesel engine coolant and oil are being continuously circulated and temperature is being maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations.

In order to reduce stress and wear on diesel engines, the DG manufacturer recommends a modified start in which the starting speed of DGs is limited, warmup is limited to this lower speed, and the DGs are gradually accelerated to synchronous speed prior to loading. This is the intent of Note 3.

SR 3.8.1.7 requires that, at a 184 day Frequency, the DG starts from standby conditions and achieves required voltage and frequency within 10 seconds. The 10 second start requirement supports the assumptions of the design basis LOCA analysis in the UFSAR, Chapter 15 (Ref. 5).

The 10 second start requirement is not applicable to SP, 3.8.1.2 (see Note 3) when a modified start procedure as described above is used.

Since SR 3.8.1.7 requires a 10 second start, it is more restrictive than SR 3.8.1.2 and it may be performed in lieu of SR 3.8.1.2. This is the intent of Note 1 of SR 3.8.1.2.

The normal 31 day Frequency for SR 3.8.1.2 (see Table 3.8.1-1, " Diesel Generator Test Schedule," in the accompanying LC0) and the 184 day Frequency for SR 3.8.1.7 are consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). These Frequencies provide adequate assurance of DG OPERABILITY, while minimizing degradation resulting from testing.

Note 3 indicates that this Surveillance should be conducted on only one DG at a time in order to avoid common cause failures that might result from offsite circuit or grid perturbations. Note 4 stipulates a prerequisite requirement for performance of this SR. A l successful DG start must precede this test to credit satisfactory performance.

operation. Water may come from any of several sources, l including condensation, ground water, rain water, contaminated fuel oil, and from breakdown of the fuel oil by l microorganisms. Frequent checking for and removal of '

accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data regarding the watertight integrity of the fuel oil system. l The Surveillance Frequencies are established by Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref. 10).

SR 3.8.1.13 This Surveillance demonstrates that DG noncritical protective functions (e.g., high jacket water temperature) are bypassed on a loss of voltage signal concurrent with an ESF actuation test signal in accordance with Reference 3.

The critical protective functions (engine overspeed, generator differential current, and low-low lube oil pressure), which trip the DG to avert substantial damage to the DG unit, are not bypassed. The noncritical trips are bypassed during DBAs and provide an alarm on an abnormal engine condition. This alarm provides the operator with sufficient time to react appropriately. The DG availability to mitigate the DBA is more critical than protecting the engine against minor problems that are not immediately detrimental to emergency operation of the DG.

The 24 month Frequency is based on engineering judgment, taking into consideration unit conditions required to perform the Surveillance, and is intended to be consistent with ex)ected fuel cycle lengths.

paragraph 2.a.(2), each DG is required to demonstrate proper operation for the DBA loading sequence to ensure that  !

voltage and frequency are maintained within the required l limits. Under accident conditions, prior to connecting the l DGs to their respective buses, all loads are shed except load center feeders and those motor control centers that power Class 1E loads (referred to as " permanently connected' loads). Upon reaching 90% of rated voltage and frequency, the DGs are then connected to their res3ective buses. Loads are then sequentially connected to the aus by the programmed time interval load sequence. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading of the DGs due to high motor starting currents. The 10% load sequence start time tolerance ensures that sufficient time exists for the DG to restore frequency and voltage prior to applying the next load and that safety analysis assumptions regarding ESF ecuipment time delays are not violated. Reference 2 provices a summary of the automatic loading of ESF buses.

For the Containment Emergency Cooling Units only, the sequenced time is the actual start time of the Component Cooling Water pumps plus 5 0.5 seconds. The tolerance is based on a design interval of 5 seconds.

SURVEILLANCE Diesel Generator Test Schedule )

REQUIREMENTS (continued) The DG test schedule (Table 3.8.1-1) implements the recommendations of Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3) . The purpose of this test schedule is to provide timely test data to establish a confidence level associated l with the goal to maintain DG reliability above 0.95 per demand.

According to Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 (Ref. 3), each DG unit should be tested at least once every 31 days.

According to Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1021 (Ref.14) and 1 i

10 CFR 50.63(a)(3)(ii) (Ref. 15), whenever a DG has experienced 4 or more valid failures in the last 25 valid tests, the maximum time between tests is reduced to 7 days.

Four failures in 25 valid tests is a failure rate of 0.16, or the threshold of acceptable DG performance, and hence may be an early indication of the degradation of DG reliability.  !

When considered in the light of a long history of tests, however, 4 failures in the last 25 valid tests may only be a statistically probable distribution of random events.

Increasing the test Frequency will allow for a more timely accumulation of additional test data upon which to base judgment of the reliability of the DG. The increased test Frequency must be maintained until seven consecutive, failure free tests have been performed.

The Frequency for accelerated testing is 7 days, but no less than 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />.

. BACKGROUND The Class 1E Electrical Power Distribution System AC sources consist of the offsite power sources (normal preferred er normc1 and alternate ~ preferred power sources and citernct (h)),~an~d~the"chsite" standby (onsi_te)' power sources (Train A and Train B Diesel Generators (DGs)). As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix A, GDC 17 (Ref.1), the design of the AC electrical power system provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the i Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.

The onsite Class 1E AC Distribution System is divided into redundant load groups (trains) so that the loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each train has connections to two preferred joffsitel power sources and a single DG.

The ens 4te standby (onsite) power source for each 4.16 kV ESF bus is a dedicated'DG'.' ~ DGs G002 and G003 are dedicated to ESF buses A04 and A06, respectively. A DG starts automatically on a ;fety injection actuation ;ignal (SIAS)

After the DG has started, it will automatically Me conn'e'ct to its respective bus after the offsitepowersupplybreakefistrip'edasaconsequenceof ESF bus undervoltage~oFdegraded vohage, independent of or coincident with an SIAS signal. The DGs will also start and operate in the standby mode without tying to the ESF bus on an SIAS alone. Following the trip of offsite power, an undervoltage signal strips nengmanent selected loads from the ESF bus _. When the DG is tied to the'ESF' bus, the permanently connected-loads are energized. _If one or more l ESF actuation ' signals are present, ESF. loads are' then l sequentially connected to 44e their' respective ESF bus by I the programmed time interval load' sequence. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading the DG by automatic load application.

BACKGROUND In the event of a loss of preferred power in conjunctiori (continued) with*on'e~hrTmore ESF actuation ~sigiils, the'ESF~electr'ical ,

loads ~are~ automatically ~ conn'ected to the DGs in sufficient I time to provide for safe reactor shutdown and to mitigate the consequences of a Design Basis Accident (DBA) such as a loss of coolant accident (LOCA).

Certain required unit load: are returned tc service in ;

predetermined scquence in order to prevent overleading the DC in the procc::. Within 77 second: after the initiating s49 El i; rcccived, all lead; needed to recover the unit cr m;intain it in :sfc condition are returned tc :crvice.

Ratings for Train A and Train B DGs satisfy the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). Tha continuous service rating of each DG is 4700 kW with 10% werload permissible for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period. However, for  ;

standby class of service like the San Onofre DGs the  ;

manufacturer allows specific overload values up to 116.1% of continuous duty rating based on the total hours the DG is 1 operated per year. The ESF loads that are powered from the ,

4.16 kV ESF buses are listed in Reference 2. l APPLICABLE The initial conditions of DBA and transient analyses in the SAFETY ANALYSES UFSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 4) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 5), assume  ;

ESF systems are OPERABLE. The AC electrical power sources ~

are designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System (RCS), and containment design limits are not exceeded. These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.

The OPERABILITY of the AC electrical power sources is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and is based upon meeting the design basis of the unit. This results in maintaining at least one train of the onsite or offsite AC sources OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of:

a. An assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC power; and l (continued)

AC Sources -Operating B 3.8.1 BASES I

APPLICABILITY The AC sources and associated automatic load sequence timers are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure that:

a. Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of A00s or abnormal transients; and
b. Adequate core cooling is provided and containment  !

OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated DBA.

The AC power requirements for MODES 5 and 6 are covered in LC0 3.8.2, "AC Sources - Shutdown."

ACTIONS Ad To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with the one offsite circuit inoperable, it is necessary to verify the OPERABILITY of the remaining required offsite circuit on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies " perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met.

I However, if a second required circuit fails SR 3.8.1.1, the second offsite circuit is inoperable, and Condition C, for two offsite circuits inoperable, is entered.

A.2 According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue in Condition A for a period that should not exceed 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. With one offsite circuit inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and the potential for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for a challenge to the unit safety (continued)

the engine. This Surveillance demonstrates the DG load I response characteristics and capability to reject the '

largest single load without exceeding predetermined voltage l and frequency and while maintaining a specified margin to '

the overspeed trip. For this unit, the single load for each DG is the Auxiliary Feedwater pump and its horsepower rating is 800 HP. As required by IEEE-308 (Ref. 13 , the load rejection test is acceptable if the increase)in diesel speed  !

l does not exceed 75% of the difference between synchronous speed and the overspeed trip setpoint, or 15% above synchronous speed, whichever is lower.

The time, voltage, and frequency tolerances specified in l this SR are derived from Regulatory Guide 1.9 recommendations for response during load sequenc(Ref.

The 4 seconds specified is equal to 80% of a typical l 5 second load sequence interval associated with sequencing {

of the largest load. The voltage and frequency specified are consistent with the design range of the equipment powered by the DG. SR 3.8.1.9.a corresponds to the maximum frequency excursion, while SR 3.8.1.9.b and SR 3.8.1.9.c are steady state voltage and frequency values to which the system must recover following load rejection. The 24 month Frequency is consistent with the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

In order'to ensure that the DG is tested under load conditions that are as close to design basis conditions as possible, testing is performed using design basis kW loading and maximum kVAR loading permitted during testing.

REQUIREMENTS that the~ DG. operates properly with these' ioads.~ The consequential loads are sequenced on the DG following a LOVS with the'.same time delays as for a LOVS with a SIAS. ;

Therefore, the ability of the DG to operate with the~

consequential loads is appropriately demonstrated by the existing Surveillance Requirement simulating a loss of offsite power in combination with a SIAS (Surveillance Requirement 3.8.1.19). Since there are no auto-connected shutdown loads, the Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3)-' ' '

requirements.for sequencing of auto-connected _ shutdown loads do not apply (Ref.17). M This surveillance further demonstrates the capability of the DG to automatically achieve the required voltage and frequency, to close the DG i outpiut breaker and connect'to the"ESF bus,'and to reset the  !

4.16 kV bus undervoltage relay logic within' the specified time.

~

The DG auto-start and undeRioltage relay logic reset time of 2 10 seconds is derived from requirements of the accident analysis to respond to a design basis large break LOCA. The frequency should be restored to within 2*', of nominal the specified rangs following a load scqucnce stcp energizatiori of the ' permanently 'connected loads'. The Surveillance should be co'ntinued'for a minimum" of 5 minutes in order to demonstrate that all starting transients have decayed and stability has been achieved.

The requirement to verify the connection and power supply of permanent loads is intended to satisfactorily show the relationship of these loads to the DG loading logic. In certain circumstances, many of these loads cannot actually be connected or loaded without undue hardship or potential for undesired operation. For instance, Emergency Core Cooling Systems (ECCS) injection valves are not desired to be stroked open, high pressure injection systems are not capable of being operated at full flow, or shutdown cooling (SDC) systems performing a decay heat removal function are not desired to be realigned to the ECCS mode of operation.

operation for the),DBA loading sequence to ensure thateach DG voltage and frequency are maintained within the required limits. Under accident conditions prior to connecting the DGs to their respective buses, all, loads are shed except load center feeders and those motor control centers that power Class lE loads (referred to as " permanently connected" loads). Upon reaching 90% of rated voltage and frequency, the DGs are then connected to their respective buses. Loads are then sequentially connected to the bus by the programmed time interval load sequence. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overl ndina of the DGs due to high motor starting currents. The 10%' load se g ence start time tolerance ensures that sufficient time exists icr the DG to restore frequency and voltage prior to applying the next load and that safety analysis assumptions regarding ESF equipment time delays are not violated. Reference 2 provides a summary of the automatic loading of ESF buses.

' For the Containment Emergency Cooling Units only, the sequenced time is the actual start time of the Component Cooling Water pumps plus 5 0.5 seconds. The tolerance is based on a design interval of 5 seconds.

The Frequency of 24 months is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9),

l (continued) This Surveillance demonstrates that the DG starting i independence has not been compromised. AHc, this This Surveillance demonstrates that each engine can achieve' I proper speed within the specified time when the DGs are started simultaneously. l The 10 year Frequency is consistent with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.108 (Ref. 9), paragraph 2.b, Regulatory Guide 1.137 (Ref.10), paragraph C.2.f, and Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

This SR is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is to minimize wear on the DG during testing. For the purpose of this testing, the DGs must be started from standby conditions, that is, with the engine coolant and oil  !

continuously circulated, and temperature maintained consistent with manufacturer recommendations.

Diesel Generator Test Schedule The DG test schedule (Table 3.8.1-1) implements the recommendations of Revision 3 to Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The purpose of this test schedule is to provide timely test data to establish a confidence level associated with the goal to maintain DG reliability above 0.95 per demand.

According to Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 3 (Ref. 3), each DG unit should be tested at least once every 31 days.

According to Draft Regulatory Guide DG-1021 (Ref.14) and 10 CFR 50.63(a)(3)(ii) (Ref.15), whenever a DG has experienced 4 or more valid failures in the last 25 valid tests, the maximum time between tests is reduced to 7 days.

Four failures in 25 valid tests is a failure rate of 0.16, or the threshold of acceptable DG performance, and hence may be an early indication of the degradation of DG reliability.

When considered in the light of a long history of tests, hc',:cycr,4 failures in the last 25 valid tests may only be a statistically probable distribution of random events.

Increasing the test Frequency will allow for a more timely accumulation of additional test data upon which to base judgment of the reliability of the DG. The increased test Frequency must be' maintained until seven consecutive, i failure free tests have been performed.

As required by 10 CFR 50, Appendis A, GDC 17 (Ref.1), the design of the AC electrical power system provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the Engineered Safety Feature (ESF) systems.

The onsite Class 1E AC Distribution System is divided into redundant load groups (trains) so that the loss of any one group does not prevent the minimum safety functions from being performed. Each train has connections to two preferred (offsite),powersourcesandasingleDG.

Ratings for Train A and Train B DGs satisfy the requirements l

of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3). The continuous service rating of each DG is 4700 kW with 10% overload permissible for up to 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> in any 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period. However, for standby class of service like the San Onofre DGs the manufacturer allows specific overload values up to 116.1% of I

continuous duty rating based on the total hours the DG is l operated per year. The ESF loads that are powered from the 4.16 kV ESF buses are listed in Reference 2.

1 APPLICABLE The initial conditions of DBA and transient analyses in the SAFETY ANALYSES UFSAR, Chapter 6 (Ref. 4) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 5), assume ESF systems are OPERABLE. The AC electrical power sources l are designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to ESF systems so that the fuel, Reactor Coolant System (RCS), and containment design limits are not exceeded. These limits are discussed in more detail in the Bases for Section 3.2, Power Distribution Limits; Section 3.4, Reactor Coolant System (RCS); and Section 3.6, Containment Systems.

The OPERABILITY of the AC electrical power sources is consistent with the initial assumptions of the accident analyses and is based upon meeting the design basis of the unit. This results in maintaining at least one train of the onsite or offsite AC sources OPERABLE during accident conditions in the event of:

a. An assumed loss of all offsite power or all onsite AC power; and

The 31 day Frequency is adequate to assure that a sufficient supply of fuel oil is available, since low level alarms are provided and unit operators would be aware of any large uses of fuel oil during this period.

SR 3.8.1.5 Microbiological fouling is a major cause of fuel oil degradation. There are numerous microorganisms that can grow in fuel oil and cause fouling, but all must have a )

j water environment in order to survive. Removal of water from the fuel oil day tanks once every 31 days eliminates the necessary environment for microbial survival in the day -

tanks. This is the most effective means of controlling microbiological fouling. In addition, it eliminates the potential fon water entrainment in the fuel oil during DG operation. Water may come from any of several sources, including condensation, ground water, rain water, contaminated fuel oil, and from breakdown of the fuel oil by microorganisms. Frequent checking for and removal of accumulated water minimizes fouling and provides data regarding the watertight integrity of the fuel oil system. 4 The Surveillance Frequencies are established by Regulatory  !

Guide 1.137 (Ref. 10). This SR is for preventive l maintenance. The presence of water does not necessarily l represent failure of this SR provided the accumulated water is removed during the performance of this Surveillance.

REQUIREMENTS the overspeed trip. For this unit, the single load for each l DG is the Auxiliary Feedwater pump and its horse)ower rating  ;

is 800 HP. As required by IEEE-308 (Ref.13 , t1e load rejection test is acceptable if the increase)in diesel speed i does not exceed 75% of the difference between synchronous speed and the overspeed trip setpoint, or 15% above synchronous speed, whichever is lower.

The time, voltage, and frequency tolerances specified in this SR are derived from Regulatory Guide 1.9 Ref.-3) l recommendations for response during load sequenc(e intervals.

The 4 seconds specified is equal to 80% of a typical 5 second load' sequence interval associated with sequencing l of the largest load. The voltage and frequency specified

! are consistent with the design range of the equipment l powered by the OG. SR 3.8.1.9.a corresponds to the maximum '

frequency excursion, while SR 3.8.1.9.b and SR 3.8.1.9.c are steady state voltage and frequency values to which the systen must recover following load rejection. The 24 month F*equency is consistent with the recommendation of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

In order to ensure that the DG is tested under load l

conditions that are as close to design basis conditions as l possible, testing is performed using design basis kW loading '

and maximum kVAR loading permitted during testing. These loadings represent the inductive loading that the DG would experience to the extent practicable and is consistent with the intent of Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3).

The DG auto-start and undervoltage' relay logic reset time of '

The frequency should be restored to within 2" cf nominal the specified~ra'ngs following a lead cquence :tcp energization' of;the permanently connect'ed loids'. The Surveillance ~should be7.'ontinued 'for a" minimum ~of'5~ini'nutes in order to -

demonstrate that all starting transients have decayed and stability has been achieved.

The requirement to verify the connection and power supply of permanent loads is intended to satisfactorily show the relationship of these loads to the DG loading logic. In certain circumstances, many of these loads cannot actually be connected or loaded without undue hardship or potential for undesired operation. For instance, Emergency Core 1 I

Cooling Systems (ECCS) injection valves are not desired to be stroked open, high pressure injection systems are not capable of being operated at full flow, or shutdown cooling (SDC) systems performing a decay heat removal function are not desired to be realigned to the ECCS mode of operation.

In lieu of actual demonstration of shedding l connection,' and loading of loads, overlap testing th~at"1dequ'ately shows "the 1 capability of the DG'sy' stem to perform these functions is acceptable. This testing may include any series of sequential, overlapping, or total steps so that the entire 00EE;;tiOC 00$ lcading sequence 6fiload 'shidding'a~n d reenergifation of permanently ' connected loads is verified.

SR 3.8.1.16 As required by Regulatory Guide 1.9 (Ref. 3), this Surveillance ensures manual synchronization and autcmatic load transfer from the DG to the offsite source can be made and that the DG can be returned to ready to load operation when offsite power is restored.

Under accident conditions prior to connecting the DGs to their respective buses, all, loads are shed except load center feeders and those motor control centers that power Class lE loads (referred to as "pern.unently connected" loads). Upon reaching 90% of rated voltage and frequency the DGs are then connected to their respective buses. Loads are then sequentially connected to the bus by the programmed time interval load sequence. The sequencing logic controls the permissive and starting signals to motor breakers to prevent overloading of the DGs due to high motor starting currents. The 10% load sequence start time tolerance ensures that sufficient time exists for the DG to restore frequency and voltage prior to applying the next load and that safety analysis assumptions regarding ESF equipment time delays are not violated. Reference 2 provides a summary of the automatic loading of ESF buses.

For the Containment Emergency Cooling Units only, the sequenced time is the actual start time of the Component Cooling Water pumps plus 5 0.5 seconds. The tolerance is based on a design interval of 5 seconds.

Four failures in 25 valid tests is a failure rate of 0.16, or the threshold of acceptable DG performance, and hence may be an early indication of the degradation of DG reliability. j When considered in the light of a long history of tests, I hcwcVer,4 failures in the last 25 valid tests may only be a j statistically probable distribution of random events. j Increasing the test Frequency will allow for a more timely accumulation of additional test data-upon which to base  ;
