ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.8.1.1.1 Each of the above required independent circuits between the offsite transmission network and the onsite Class 1E distribution system shall be:
a.
Determined OPERABLE at least once per 7 days by verifying correct breaker alignments and indicated power availability, and b.
Demonstrated OPERABLE at least once per 18 months during shutdown by transferring, manually and automatically, unit power supply from the normal circuit to the alternate circuit.
4.8.1.1.2 Each of the above required diesel generators shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:*
a.
At least once per 31 days on a STAGGERED TEST BASIS by:
1.
Verifying the fuel level in the fuel oil day tank.
2.
Verifying the fuel level in the fuel oil storage tank.
3.
Verifying the fuel transfer pump starts and transfers fuel from the storage system to the fuel oil day tank.
4.
Verify each diesel generator starts from standby conditions and achieves 2 3950 volts and 2 58.8 Hz in s 10 seconds after receipt of the start signal, and subsequently achieves steady state voltage of 4160 1 420 volts and frequency of 60 1.2 Hz.
The diesel generator shall be started for this tast by using one of the following signals:
a)
Manual.
b)
Simulated loss of offsite power by itself.
c)
Simulated loss of offsite power in conjunction with an ESF actuation test signal.
d)
An ESF actuation test signal by itself.
5.
Verifying the diesel generator is synchronized, loaded to between 4300 and 4400** kw in less than or equal to 130 seconds,* and operates with this load for at least 60 minutes.
The diesel generator start (10 sec) and subsequent loading (130 sec) from standby conditions shall be performed at least once per 184 days in these surveillance tests. All engine starts and loading for the purpose of this surveillance testing may be preceded by an engine prelube period and/or other warmup procedures recommended by the manufacturer so that mechanical stress and wear on fhe diesel engine is minimized.
This band is meant as gu.4 dance to avoid routine overloading of the engine.
Loads in excess of this band shall not invalidate the test; the loads, f
however, shall not be less than 4300 kw nor greater than 4430 kw.

BASES (Continued)
Particulate concentration should be determined in accordance with ASTM D2276-94, Method A.
This method involves a gravimetric determination of total particulate concentraticn in the fuel' oil and has a limit of 10 mg/1.
The 0.8 micron-filters specified in ASTM D2276-94 may be replaced with membrane filters up to 3.0 microns.
This is acceptable since the closest tolerance fuel filter in the HC EDGs.is a five micron particle retention duplex filter on the engine driven fuel oil pump.
It is acceptable to obtain a field sample for subsequent laboratory testing in lied of field testing.
The total volume of stored fuel oil contained in two or more interconnected tanks must be considerad and tested separately.
The frequency of this test takes into consideration fuel oil degradation trends that indicate the particulate concentration is unlikely to change significantly between frequency intervals.
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 maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and (2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is cvailable for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.
The surveillance requirements for demonstrnting the OPERABILITY of.the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations for Regulatory Guide 1.9,
" Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies", March 10, 1971, Regulatory Guide 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power PS. ants", Revision 1, August 1977 and Regulatory Guide 1.137
" Fuel-Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators", Revision 1, October 1979 as modified by plant specific analysis, diesel generator manufacturer's recommendations, and Amendment 59, to the Facility Operating License, issued. November 22, 1993.
Regulatory Guide 1.108 criteria for determining and reporting valid tests and failures and accelerated diesel generator testing have been superceded by implementation of the Maintenance Rule for diesel generators per 10CFR50.65.
