The operability requirements for the AAC DG are specified in the Technical Requirements Manual. In addition, to be considered OPERABLE to support the fourteen day action statement the L AAC DG must be capable of providing power to the affected bus (i.e., connectable to the bus with the associated breakers and control power available). If the AAC DG becomes inoperable during the 14 day action statement, the OPERABILITY of the remaining EDGs does not need to be demonstrated since the AAC DG was designed and purchased according to specifications which adequately ensure that common cause fullure is not likely.

The ACTION requirements specified in Modes 5 and 6 address the condition where

! sufficient power is unavailable to recover from postulated events (i.e., fuel handling accident).

Implementation of the ACTION requirements shall not preclude completion of actions to establish l

a safe conservative plant condition. Completion of the requirements will prevent the occurrence of-postulated events for which mitigating actions would be required.

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 l maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods,2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status, L and 3) sufficient power is available for systems necessary to recover from postulated events in L these MODES, e.g., the control room emergency ventilation system fans during a fuel handling accident.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9 " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies," March 10,1971, and 1.108 " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Oasite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants" Revision 1, August 1977, as modified by Amendment No. 83 issued August 22,1986.

{f The testing of the largest post-accident load rejection in Surveillance Requirement (SR) 4.8.1.1.2.d.2, for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the EDGs, is in accordance with the testing recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9, Revision 1, Section C.S.

L The EDG testing in SRs 4,8.1.1.2.c,4.8.1.1.2.d.5,4.8.1.1.2.d.11.b), and 4.8.1.1.2.e separate

[ the stait reg'uirements for voltage and frequency from the steady state limits. The 10-second start j requires the EDG to meet the minimum values for voltage and frequency. The EDG's voltage must i exceed the 95% value of rated voltage in order for the eutput breaker to automatically close. The minimum frequency requirement is based on the safety analyses assumption for steady state ,

= The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the Emergency Diesel Generator batteries and the Station batteries are based on the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.129," Maintenance, Testing and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Nuclear Power Plants," February 1978, and IEEE Std 450-1980,"IEEE Recommended Practice

Containment electrical penetration and penetraticn conductors are protected by either de-energizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circuit breakers during period surveillance.

The surveillance frequency applicable to molded case circuit breakers and/or buses provides assurance of breaker and/or fuse reliability by testing at least one representative sample of each manufacturer's brand of circuit breaker and/or fuse. Each manufacturer's molded case circuit breakers and/or fuses are grouped into representative samples which are then tested on a l rotating basis to ensure that all breakers and/or fuses are tested. If a wide variety exists within any manufacturer's brand of molded case circuit breakers and/or fuses,it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's break.ers and/or fuses into groups and treat each group as a sepamte type of breaker l or fuse for surveillance purposes.

The OPERABILITY of the motor-operated valves thermal and overload protection and/or bypass devices ensures that these devices will not prevent safety elded valves from performing their function. The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of these devices are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.106 " Thermal Overload Protection for Electric Motors on Motor-Operated Valves," Revision 1, March 1977.
