By operating procedure, during extended periods of standby operation at synchronous speeds, the diesel generators will be paralleled one at a time with offsite power (test mode) and loaded to 40% of their rated load for a period of 30 minutes to remove excess fuel deposits from the exhaust ports. (Q&R 040.45) While the Divisions 1 and 2 diesel generators are in the test mode, diesel generator lockout is precluded for overloads on subsequent loss of offsite power. The design of Division 3 is as follows:
Periodic testing of the HPCS Diesel Generator is performed from the control room by manual initiation or simulation of LOCA.
This testing does not impair the capability of starting the HPCS pump within the re ulrod 11mWe* ronAolspa pyarriddelt by the LOCA even excepf ES desdbed in Subsechds 8.3.1.1.2.1 ud 6.3,l.2.2.
The local Engine Control Switch is usually in the automatic position to allow operation and periodic testing from the control room. The local engine control switch also provides a maintenance and test position. The maintenance position places the'HPCS diesel generator in "out of service". The test position is used only for test after maintenance prior to transferring to automatic operation. The LOCA signal will not start the engine when the engine control switch is in the test position.
The diesel-generator sets selected are qualified in accordance with Regulatory Guides 1.6 and 1.9 as follows:
- a. At least two tests were performed on each diesel generator not previously qualified to demonstrate the start and load capability of these units with some margin in excess of the design raargin.
- b. Prior to initial fuel loading, a total of 300 start and load tests were performed on each diesel generator.
The start and load test consists of 270 starts from warm standby conditions and 30 tests from normal operating temperatures with loading to at least 50% of the nameplate continuous rating within the requested time interval and continued operation until temperature equilibrium is attained.
- c. Further testing will be performed if the failure rate is greater than one per hundred.
Qualification of the diesel generators is per the requirements of IEEE 344, Regulatory Guide 1.100 add 10 CFR 50.49.

( The Class 1E a-c power system is' designed to" permit inspection and testing of all important areas and features, especially those whose operation is not normally demonstrated. As detailed I in Chapter 16, Technical Specifications, periodic component !
tests are supplemented by extensive functional tests during l refueling outqges, the latter based on actual accident simulated i conditions. These tests demonstrate the operability of diesel ,
generator, station battery system components, and logic systems, !
and thereby verify the continuity of the systems and the operation of components. i 8.3.1.1.2.1 Hich-Pressure Core Sorav System (HPCS) Power System l The HPCS power supply system is self-contained except for the initiation _ signal source and access to both offsite power j
sources through the plant a-c power distribution system. It has ;
j a dedicated diesel generator and is operable as an isolated ;
l system independent of electrical connection to any other system. l l The standby auxiliary equipment such as heaters, air compressor, l and battery charger are supplied from the same power source as ;
the HPCS motor. Voltage and frequency of the HPCS diesel i generator is compatible with that available'from the. plant a-c power system.
The General Electric HPCS system power supply unit Licensing Topical Report, NEDO 10905, gives the, starting and accelerating characteristicr of the diesel generator set with the various
. loads in the proper sequence. Although the voltage and frequency characteristics do not meet NRC Regulatory Guide 1.9, justification for this is given because of the unique requirements of the system. The HPCS diesel generator is unique in that its load is composed predominantly of one large motor whose horsepower is approximately the same as the diesel-engine. I The analytical results from a digital dynamics stability i program, and prototype tests performed, demonstrate the capability of the diesel generator and of the equipment i associated with the system to meet all necessary requirements.
The NRC has previously accepted this analysis which is contained in the NEDO 10905 document. (Q&R 040.15) i i All safety related continuous _ duty motors have the ability to deliver their rated horsepower continuously without damage when the voltage at the terminals is 10% above or below rated voltage with rated frequency. These motors can also deliver their full load torque without damage when the voltage at the terminal drops to 75% for infrequent one-minute intervals.
, .The starting sequence provides for containing HPCS diesel l
generator voltage drops down to 62% of rated voltage. This dip
- in voltage lasts for 1 second and would recover to 75% volts
. after this time frame. This time frame is short enough to prevent the loss of flux to the field. Therefore no motor damage i

The division 3 HPCS diesel generator is capable of starting the i HPCS motor within the required time in accordance with _
l NED0-10905 although voltage and frequency drop will exceed the l
limits specified in NRD Regulatory Guide 1.9.
l Mechanical safety trips recommended by the Division 3 diesel generator vendor and the electrical protective tripping scheme (identified on drawings E02-1HP99 sheets 101 through 114 and referenced in Section 1.7) are consistent with the Division 1 and 2 diesel generator tripping schemes and meet the requirements of Regulatory Guide 1.9. All trips except overspeed and generator differential are bypassed on a LOCA.
(Q&R 040.14)
The NSPS power supply is in full compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.75, and no deviations will be taken.- The final NSPS power supply design was available by November of 1981. (Q&R 430.92)
In this way, the diesel generator availability is fully assured during an offsite power loss.
8.3.1.1.3 Instrument Power System The NSPS power supply will be in full compliance with Regulatory Guide 1.75, and no deviations will be taken. (Q&R 430.92)
The instrument power system consists of the followin'g major components:
- a. (4) - 120-Vac nuclear system protection system uninterruptible power supplies and buses.
- b. (2) - 120-Vac nuclear system protection system RPS uninterruptible power supplies and buses.
- c. (2) - 120-Vac computer uninterruptible power supplies.
- d. (2) - 120-Vac BOP instrument buses (120-Vac MCC distribution panels with regulating transformers).
l e. (3) - 120-Vac Class lE instrument buses (120-Vac MCC distribution panels with regulating transformers).
The subsystem consisting of the (4) NSPS UPS's and associated buses, (divisional) the (2) RPS UPS's excluding associated buses, (nondivisional) and the (3) 120-Vac instrument buses are l Class 1E. The remainder of the subsystems listed above are non-safety related.

In addition, and as also stated in Subsection 8.3.1.2.2, the HPCS diesel generator design includes override capability to ensure automatic switchover from the test mode to ready-to-load operation upon receipt of a LOCA initiation signal consistent with the requirements ofIEEE 308 and 387.
However, the HPCS diesel generator is equipped with a mechanical governor that operates only i in a droop mode. Normally, the droop setting is set to zero, but during testing (i.e., while the l l diesel generator is in the test mode) a non-zero droop setting may be utilized to support l paralleling the diesel generator with the offsite power source. Under such conditions, the droop l may be set such that, if a LOCA initiation signal were received concurrent with no offsite power available to the Division 3 bus, operator action may be required to reset the governor and thus
, ensure bus frequency is within required limits when the diesel generator alone is supplying power
! to the bus.
The droop mode, as described above, is utilized only during testing, and the potential need for i operator action to reset the governor after receipt of a LOCA signal (concurrent with a loss of I offsite power) exists only during that portion of the test when the diesel generator is unloaded or l lightly loaded while paralleled to the offsite source. A risk assessment performed for this condition demonstrates that the associated risk is very small. On this basis, the Division 3 diesel generator design, with respect to automatic switchover capability from the test mode to ready-to-load operation, has been determined to be acceptable. !

INSERT for SURVEILLA.NCE REQUIREMENTS Section (Middle of Bases Page B 3.8-13)
In general, surveillances perr med for each of the required DGs are similar, with one notable l difference due to the fact that the Division 3 DG utilizes a mechanical governor, while the Division 1 and 2 DGs utilize an electronic governor. As such, the Division 1 and 2 DGs are capable of operating in both an isochronous mr.de as well as a " droop" mode for when the DGs l are paralleled to the offsite source during testing. The Division 3 DG, on the other hand, is j capable of operating only in the droop mode (thougn a droop setting of zero can be utilized).
l This difference may affect the Division 3 DGs capability to achieve rated frequency following automatic switchover from the test mode to ready-to-load operation upon receipt of a LOCA l
initiation signal (as verified per SR 3.8.1.17).
For the Division 1 and 2 DGs, DG operation is returned to the isochronous mode upon switchover such that rated speed / frequency is automatically attained. For the Division 3 DG, however, with the DG governor initially operating in the droop condition during the test mode, operator action may be required to reset the governor for ready-to-load operation at the required l frequency. This difference is acknowledged in the Bases for SR 3.8.1.17 to address compliance l with that SR. Notwithstanding, the condition also requires the Division 3 DG to be considered ,
inoperable ifit cannot be ensured that the required frequency would be attained in the event of a l LOCA and a loss of offsite pos.er concurrent with the Division 3 DG being operated or tested with the existing droop setting in effect. Thus, the Division 3 DG is generally considered inoperable while the droop setting is in effect during the performance of SRs that require the DG to be paralleled to the offsite source.

! of the Division 3 DG design to these standards is provided in the USAR, Chapter 8 (Reference I 2).)
Automatic switchover from the test mode to ready-to-load operation for the Division 3 DG is also
- demonstrated, as described above, by ensuring that DG control logic automatically resets in j response to a LOCA signal during the test mode and confirming that ready-to-load operation is
'j attained (as evidenced by the DG running with the output breaker open). However, with the DG l governor initially operating in a " droop" condition during the test mode, operator action may be
- required to reset the governor for ready-to-load operation in order to complete the surveillance i for the Division 3 DG. Resetting the governor ensures that the DG will supply the Division 3 bus
. at the required frequency in the event of a LOCA and a loss of offsite power while the DG is in a
+
droop condition during the test mode. l I
