3/18 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BAS'ES 3/4.8.1 and 3/4.8.2 A.C. and D.C. POWER SOURCES AND DISTRIBUTION The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems during operation ensures that sufficient power will be available to supply the safety related equipment required for 1) the safe shutdown of the facility and 2) the mitigation and control of accident conditions within the facility. The minimum specified independent and redundant A.C.

and D. ~'. power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criteria 17 of Appendix "A" to 10 CFR 50.

For each EDG, the fuel oil transfer system shall be capable of automatically transferring fuel oil to the associated EDG day tank in sufficient quantities to maintain adequate day tank level to support full load operation of the EDG.

The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commensurate with the level of degradation.

The OPERABILITY of the power sources are consistent with the initial condition assumptions of the accideri. analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one of each of the vndte A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems OPERABLE during accident conditions coincident with an assumed loss of offsite power and single failure of the other on ite A.C. source.

Entering the 14 day EDG action statement during power operation has been shown to result in a small increase in the core damage frequency, providing the Ahernate A.C. diesel generator (AAC DG)is OPERABLE and the opposite unit's EDGs are both OPERABLE. Removal of other components from service during the action statement is governed by administrative procedures.

The EDG and AAC DG annual unavailability is limited by the Maintenance Rule Program.

When one or more of the diesel generators (i.e., AAC DG or opposite unit's EDGs) required to enter the 14 day action statement is inoperable or becomes inoperable during the fourteen day action statement of the affected EDG, a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> action statement is entered. If the three diesel generators (i.e., AAC DG or the opposite unit's EDGs) required to support entry into the fourteen day action statement are restored to 0PERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, the remainder of the 14 day action statement can be used. Restoring the affected EDG to service removes the conditional OPERABILITY requireraents for the AAC DG and opposite unit's EDGs. ,

3/4.8.1 and 3/4.8.2 ADad D.C. POWER SOURCES AND DISTRIBUTION (Continued)

The operability requirements for the AAC DG are specined in the Techncal Requirements Manual. In addition, to be considered OPER ABLE to support the fourteen day action statement the 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 failure 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 a safe conservative plant condition. Completion of the requirements will prevent the cccurrence of postulated events for which mitigating actions would be mquired.

The OPERABILITY of the minimum specified A.C. and D.C. power sources and associated distribution systems d' iring shutdown and refueling ensures that 1) the facility c . oe 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, and 3) sufficient power is available for systems necessary to recover from postulated events in these MODES, e.g., the control room emergency ventilation system faas 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 Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants" Revision 1, August 1977, as modified by Amendment No. 83 issued Angust 22,1986.
