The OPERABILITY of the A.C. and D.C power sources and associated distri-bution 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 50.

The ACTION requirements specified for the levels of degradation of the i

power sources provide restriction upon continued facility operation commen-i surate 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 con-ditions 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 j

Power Sources", December 1974. When one diesel generator is inoperable, there is an additional ACTION requirement to verify that all required systems, sub-systems, trains, componentr. 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 requirement 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 infor-mation 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 is available for monitoring and maintaining the unit status.

1 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 Sup-plies," 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, and 1.137, " Fuel-011 Systems for Standby Diesel Generators," Revision 1, October 1979; Generic Letter 84-15, which modified the testing frequencies specified in Regulatory Guide 1.108; Generic Letter 93-05, which reduced the surveillance requirements for testing of Diesel Generators during power operation; also, Generic Letter 94-01, which removed the accelerated testing and special reporting requirements for Emergency Diesel Generators.

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES A.C. SOURCES. 0.C. SOURCES AND ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS (Continued)

Some of the Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the operability of the diesel generators are modified by a footnote.

The Specifications state the Surveillance Requirements are to be performed during shutdown, with the unit in mode 3 or higher. The footnote allows the particular surveillance to be per-formed during preplanned Preventative Maintenance (PM) activities that would result in the diesel generator being inoperable. The surveillance can be per-formed at that time as long as it does not increase the time the diesel genera-tor is inoperable for the PM activity that is being performed. The footnote is only applicable at that time.

The provision of the footnote shall not be utilized for operational convenience.

2 Since the McGuire emergency diesel generator manufacturer (Nordberg) is no longer in business, McGuire engineering is the designer of record.

Therefore, in the absence of manufacturer recommendations, McGuire engineering will determine the appropriate actions required for nuclear class diesel service taking into account McGuire diesel generator maintenance and operating history and industry experience where applicable.

The Surveillance Requirement 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."

In SURVEILLANCE 4.8.2.1.2.e. after the battery is returned to service (re-connected to and supplying its normal DC distribution center) following a performance discharge test (PDT), no discharge testing shall be done within 10 days on the other three batteries. This is a conservative measure to ensure the tested battery is fully charged. This restriction is an interim measure until the concern regarding recovered battery capacity immediately following recharging is resolved.

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage onfloat charge, connection resistance values 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 4.8-3 specifies the normal limits for each designated pilot cell and i

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 limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 McGUIRE - UNIT 1 B 3/4 8-2 Amendment No. 170

ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS BASES A.C. SOURCES. D.C. SOURCES AND ONSITE POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS (Continued)

Some of the Surveillance Requirements for demonstrating the operability of the diesel generators are modified by a footnote. The Specifications state the Surveillance Requirements are to be performed during shutdown, with the unit in mode 3 or higher. The footnote allows the particular surveillance to be per-formed during preplanned Preventative Maintenance (PM) activities that would result in the diesel generator being inoperable. The surveillance can be per-formed at that time as long as it does not increase the time the diesel genera-tor is inoperable for the PM activity that is being performed. The footnote is only applicable at that time. The provision of the footnote shall not be utilized for operational convenience.

Since the McGuire emergency diesel generator manufacturer (Nordberg) is no longer in business, McGuire engineering is the designer of record.

Therefore, in the absence of manufacturer recommendations, McGuire engineering will determine the appropriate actions required for nuclear class diesel service taking into account McGuire diesel generator maintenance and operating history and industry experience where applicable.

The Surveillance Requirement 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."

In SURVEILLANCE 4.8.2.1.2.e, after the battery is returned to service (re-connected to and supplying its normal DC distribution center) following a performance-discharge test (PDT), no discharge testing shall be done within 10 i

days on the other three batteries. This is a conservative measure to ensure the tested battery is fully charged. This restriction is an interim measure until the concern regarding recovered battery capacity immediately following recharging is resolved.

Verifying average electrolyte temperature above the minimum for which the battery was sized, total battery terminal voltage onfloat charge, connection resistance values 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 4.8-3 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 limits for each connected cell for float voltage and specific gravity, greater than 2.13 McGUIRE - UNIT 2 B 3/4 8-2 Amendment No. 152
