this table.

• Criteria for determining number of failures and number of valid tests shall be in accordance with Regulatory Position C.2.e of Regulatory Guide 1.108, Revision 1, August 1977, but determined on a per diesel generator basis.

1 For the purposes of determining the required test frequency, the previous test failure count may be reduced to zero if a complete diesel overhaul to like new conditions is completed, provided that the overhaul, including appropriate post-maintenance operation and testing, is specifically approved by the manufacturer, and if acceptable reliability has been demonstrated.

The reliability criterion shall be the successful completion of 14 consec-utive tests in a single series.

Ten of these tests shall be in accordance with Specification 4.8.1.1.2a.4) and 4.8.1.1.2a.5); four tests in accordance with Specification 4.8.1.1.2i.

If this criterion is not satisfied during the first series of tests, any alternate criterion to be used to transvalue the failure count to zero requires NRC approval.

• • The associated test frequency shall be maintained until seven consecutive failure free tests have been performed and the nur.ber of failures in the last 20 valid tests has been reduced to one.

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS A.C. SOURCES SHUTDOWN-LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 3.8.1.2 As a minimum, the following A.C. electrical power sources shall be OPERABLE:

a.

One circuit between the offsite transmission network and the Onsite Class 1E Distribution System, and b.

One diesel generator with:

1)

A day tank containing a minimum volume of 390 gallons of fuel, 2)

A fuel storage system containing a minimum volume of 85,300 gallons of fuel, and 3)

A fuel transfer pump.

APPLICABILITY:

MODES 5 and 6.

ACTION:

With less than the above minimum required A.C. electrical power sources OPERABLE, immediately suspend all operations involving CORE ALTERATIONS, positive reactivity changes, movement of irradiated fuel, or crane operation with loads over the spent fuel pool.

In addition, when in MODE 5 with the reactor coolant loops not filled, or in MODE 6 with the water level less than 23 feet above the reactor vessel flange, immediately initiate corrective action to restore the required sources to OPERABLE status as soon as possible.

SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS 4.8.1.2 The above required A.C. electrical power sources shall be demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of each of the requirements of Specifications 4.8.1.1.1, 4.8.1.1.2 (except for Specification 4.8.1.1.2a.5)), and 4.8.1.1.3.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES 3/4.8.1, 3/4.8.2, ard 3/4.8.3 A.C. SOURCES, D.C. SOURCES, and ONSITE F0WER 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 condi-tions within the facility.

The minimum specified independent and redundant A.C. and D.C. power sources and distribution systems satisfy the requirements of General Design Criterion 17 of Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 50.

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 safety analyses and are based upon maintaining at least one redundant set of onsite 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 onsite A.C. source.

The A.C. and D.C. source allowable out-of-service times are based on Regulatory Guide 1.93, " Availability of Electrical Power Sources," December 1974.

When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, subsystems, trains, components and devices, that depend on the remaining OPERABLE diesel generator as a source of emergency power, are also OPERABLE, and that the steam-driven auxiliary feedwater pump is OPERABLE.

This require-ment is intended to provide assurance that a loss-of-offsite power event will not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems during the period one of the diesel generators is inoperable.

The term verify as used in this context means to administratively check by examining logs or other information to determine if certain components are out-of-service for maintenance or other reasons.

It does not mean to perform the Surveillance Requirements needed to demonstrate the OPERABILITY of the component.

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 are available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are in accordance with the recommendations of Regulatory Guides 1.9, " Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies", March 10, 1971; 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.21, issued May 1,1987, and 1.137, l

" Fuel-0il Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979.

ELECTRIC POWER SYSTEMS BASES A.C. SOURCES, D.C. SOURCES, and ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION (Continued)

The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the OPERABILITY of 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 for Maintenance, Testing, and Replacement of Large Lead Storage Batteries for Generating Stations and Substations."

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage on float charge, connection resistance val ~ues and the performance of battery service and discharge tests ensures the effectiveness of the charging system, the ability to handle high discharge rates and compares the battery capacity at that time with the rated capacity.

Table 4.8-2 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and each connected cell for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity.

The limits for the designated pilot cells float voltage and specific

. gravity, greater than 2.13 volts and 0.015 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity or a battery charger current that had stabilized at a low value, is characteristic of a charged cell with adequate capacity.

The normal limitsforeachconnectedcellforfloatvoltageandspecificgravity, greater than 2.13 volts and not more than 0.020 below the manufacturer s full charge specificgravitywithanaveragespecificgravityofalltheconnectedcells not more than 0.010 below the manufacturer s full charge specific gravity,

. ensures the OPERABILITY and capability of the battery.

Operation with a battery cell's parameter outside the normal limit but within the Allowable Value specified in Table 4.8-2 is permitted for up to 7 days.

During this 7-day period:

(1) the Allowable Value 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 0.020 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 0.040 below the manufacturer's full charge specific gravity and that the overall capability of the battery will be maintained within an acceptable limit; and (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 function.
