Amendment No. 97,103
ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS MOTOR OPERATED VALVES - THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION (BYPASSED)
LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.8.4.2 The thermal overload protection bypass circuit of eacl. motor operated valve (MOV) required to have thermal overload protection shall be OPERABLE.
APPLICABILITY: Whenever the MOV is required to be OPERABLE.
ACTION:
With the thermal overload protection bypass circuit for one or more of the above required MOVs inoperable, restore the inoperable thermal overload protection bypass circuit (s) to OPERABLE status within 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> or declare the affected MOV(s) inoperable and apply the appropriate ACTION statement (s) for the affected system (s).
. SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTT, 4.8.4.2.1 The thermal everload protection bypass circuit for each of the above required MOVs shall be demonstrated OPERABLE:
a.
At least once per 18 months by the performance of a CHANNEL FUNCTIONAL TEST fort 1.
Those thermal overload protection devices which are normally in force during plant operation and bypassed only under accident conditions.
2.
A representative sample of at least 25% of those thermal overload prot 2 4 tion devices which are bypassed continuously and temporarily placed in force only when the MOVs are undergoing periodic or maintenance testing, such that the bypass circuitry for each thermal overload protection device of this type is tested at least once per 6 years.
3.
A representative sample of at least 25% of those thermal overload protection devices which are in force during normal manual (momentary push button contact) MOV operation and bypassed during remote manual (push button held depressed)
MOV operation, such that the bypass circuitry for each thermal overload protection device of this type is tested at least once per 6 years, b.
Following maintenance on the motor starter.
4.8.4.2.2 The thermal overload protection for the above required MOVs which are continuously bypassed and temporarily placed in force only when the MOV is underooing periodic or maintenance testing shall be verified to be contin'ously bypassed following such testing.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the allowable value specified in Table 4.8.2.1-1 is permitted for up to 31 days. During this 31 day period (1) the allowable values for electrolyte level ensures no physical damage to the plates with an adequate electron transfer capability; (2) the allowable value for the average specific gravity of all the cells, not more than.020 below the manufacturer's recommended full charge specific gravity ensures that the decrease in rating will be less than the safety margin provided in sizing; (3) the allowable value for an individual cell's specific gravity, ensures that an individual cell's specific gravity will not be more than.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limits (4) the allowable value for an individual cell's float voltage, greater than 2,07 volts, ensures the battery's capability to perform its design f unction; (5) the TABLE 4.8.2.1-1 NOT.P. TION 31 day ACTION time was derived taking into consideration that while battery capacity is degraded, sufficient capacity exists to perform the intended function while providing a time period adequate to permit full restoration of the battery cell parameters to nornal limits.
3 /4. 0. 4 ELECTRICAL EOUIPMENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES Primary containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are protected by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circuit breakers by periodic surveillance.
The surveillance requirements applicable to lower voltage circuit breakers provides assurance of breaker reliability by teating one representative sample of each manufacturers brand of circuit breaker.
Each manufacturer's molded case and metal case circuit breakers are grouped into representative samples which are than tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers are tested.
If a wide variety exists within any manufacturer's brand of circuit breakers, it is necessary to divide that manufacturer's breakers into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker for surveillance purposes.
The OPERABILITY or bypassing of the motor operated valves thermal overload protection continuously or during accident conditions by integral bypass devices ensures that the thermal overload protection during accident conditions will not prevent safety related valves from performing their function. The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY or bypassing of the thermal overload protection continuously or during accident conditions are in accordance with Regulatory Guide 1.106 " Thermal overload Protection for Electric Motors on Motor Operated Valves," Revision 1, March 1977.
The list of MOVs required to have thermal overload bypass circuitry is contained in UFSAR Table 8.3-11.
