ELECTRICAL POWER' SYSTEMS SHUTDOWN LIMITING CONDITION FOR OPERATION 1
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 j
onsite Class 1E distribution system (vital bus system), and b.
Two separate and independent diesel generators with:
l 1.
Separate day tanks containing a minimum volume of 130 gallons of fuel, and 2.
A common fuel storage system containing a minimum volume of 23,000 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, suspend all' operations involving CORE ALTERATIONS or positive reactivity changes until the minimum required A.C. electrical power sources are restored to OPERABLE status.
SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS
(
.---------------------------------------NOTE-----------------------------------
The following surveillance are not required to be performed to maintain operability during Modes 5 and 6.
These surveillance are: 4.8.1.1.1.b, 4.8.1.1.2.d.2, 4.8.1.1.2.d.3, 4.8.1.1.2.d.4, 4.8.1.1.2.d.6, 4.8.1.1.2.d.7, 4.8.1.1.2.d.9, 4.8.1.1.2.e, and 4.8.1.1.2.f.
4.8.1.2 The above required A.C. electrical power sources shall be
. demonstrated OPERABLE by the performance of each of the Surveillance Requirements of 4.8.1.1.1, 4.8.1.1.2, 4.8.1.1.3 (except for requirement 4.8.1.1.3.a.2) and 4.8.1.1.4.

3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES l
3/4.8.1 and 3/4.8.2 A.C. SOURCES AND ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS 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.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 accident analyses and are based upon maintaining at least two independent sets 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 one onsite A.C. source.
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 te maintained in the shutdown or refueling condition for extended time periods and 2) sufficient instrumentation and control capability is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status, t
The Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating.the OPERABILITY of the diesel generators are based upon the recommendations of Regulatory Guide 1.9,.
" Selection of Diesel Generator Set Capacity for Standby Power Supplies,"
March 10, 1971, and Regulatory Guide 1.108, " Periodic Testing of Diesel
. Generator Units Used as Onsite Electric Power Systems at Nuclear Power Plants," Revision 1, August 1977. Regulatory Guide 1.100 criteria for determining and reporting valid tests and failures, and accelerated diesel generator testing, have been superseded by implementation of the Maintenance Rule for the diesel generators per 10CFR50.65.
In addition to the Surveillance Requirements of 4.8.1.1.2, diesel preventative maintenance is performed in accordance with procedures based on manufacturer's recommendations with consideration given to operating experience.
For.the purposes of establishing Anitial conditions for surveillance
-testing, " ambient conditions" mean that the diesel lube oil temperature is 120.i 20 degrees F.
The minimum lube oil temperature for an OPERABLE l
diesel is 100 degrees F.
Lube oil heaters are designed to maintain the oil temperature at approximately 120 degrees F.
Surveillance requirement 4.8.1.2 is modified by a Note. The reason for the Note is to preclude requiring the OPERABLE DG(s) from being paralleled with the offsite power network or otherwise rendered ineperable during performance of the surveillance requirement, and to preclude de-energizing a required ESF bus or disconnecting a required offsite circuit during performance of.
surveillance requirements. With limited AC sources available, a single event could compromise both the required circuit and the DG.
It is the intent that SALEM - UNIT 1 B 3/4 8-1 Amendment No.212 lL_-_--________-_-_----_-___--_.
l 3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES'(Continued) these surveillance requirements must still be capable of being met, but actual l
performance is not required during periods when the DG and offsite circuit are required to be OPERABLE.
During Startup, prior to entering Mode 4, the surveillance requirements are required to be completed if the surveillance frequency has been exceeded or will be exceeded prior to the next scheduled shutdown.
3/4.8.3 ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES Containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are l
pro *.ected by either deenergizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circuit breakers during periodic surveillance.
1 The surveillance frequency applicable to molded case circuit breakers and lower voltage circuit breakers provides assurance of breaker reliability by testing at least one representative sample of each manufacturer's brand of molded case and lower voltage circuit breakers.
Each manufacturer's molded case circuit breakers and lower voltage circuit breakers are grouped into representative samples which are then tested on a rotating basis to ensure that all breakers are tested.
If a wide variety exists within any j
manufacturer's brand of molded case or lower voltage circuit breakers, it is necessary to further divice that manufacturer's breakers into groups and treat each group as a separate type of breaker for surveillance purposes.
Containment penetration conductor overcurrent protective device information is provided in the UFSAR.
