AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 B 3.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS B 3.8.1 AC Sources - Operating BASES BACKGROUND The AC Power System consists of the offsite power sources (preferred power) and the onsite standby power sources, Keowee Hydro Units (KHU). This system is designed to supply the required Engineered Safeguards (ES) loads of one unit and safe shutdown loads of the other two units and is so arranged that no single failure can disable enough loads to jeopardize plant safety. The design of the AC Power System provides independence and redundancy to ensure an available source of power to the ES systems (Ref. 1). The KHU turbine generators are powered through a common penstock by water taken from Lake Keowee.

The use of a common penstock is justified on the basis of past hydro plant experience of the licensee (since 1919) which indicates that the cumulative need to dewater the penstock can be expected to be limited to about one day a year, principally for inspection, plus perhaps four days every tenth year.

The preferred power source is provided from offsite power to the red or yellow bus in the 230 kV switchyard to the units startup transformer and the E breakers. The 230 kV switchyard is electrically connected to the 525 kV switchyard via the autobank transformer. Emergency power is provided using two emergency power paths, an-overhead path and an underground path. The underground emergency power path is from one KHU through the underground feeder circuit, transformer CT-4, the CT-4 incoming breakers (SK breakers), standby bus and the standby breakers (S breakers). The standby buses may also receive offsite power from the 100 kV transmission system through transformer CT-5 and the CT-5 incoming breakers (SL breakers). The overhead emergency power path is from the other KHU through the startup transformer and the startup incoming breakers (E breakers). In addition to supplying emergency power for Oconee, the KHUs provide peaking power to the generation system. During periods of commercial power generation, the KHUs are operated within the acceptable region of the KHU operating restrictions.

This ensures that the KHUs are able to perform their emergency power functions from an initial condition of commercial power generation. The KHU operating restrictions for commercial power generation are contained in UFSAR Chapter 16, (Ref. 2). The standby buses can also OCONEE UNITS 1, 2, & 3 B 3.8.1 -1 BASES REVISION DATED 05/14/14 I

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES BACKGROUND (continued) receive power from a combustion turbine generator at the Lee Steam Station through a dedicated 100 kV transmission line, transformer CT-5, and both SL breakers. The 100 kV transmission line can be supplied from a Lee combustion turbine (LCT) and electrically separated from the system grid and offsite loads. The minimum capacity available from any of the multiple sources of AC power is 22.4MVA (limited by CT-4 and CT-5 transformer capacities).

APPLICABLE SAFETY ANALYSIS The initial conditions of design basis transient and accident analyses in the UFSAR Chapter 6 (Ref. 4) and Chapter 15 (Ref. 5) assume ES systems are OPERABLE. The AC power system is designed to provide sufficient capacity, capability, redundancy, and reliability to ensure the availability of necessary power to ES systems so that the fuel, reactor coolant system, and containment design limits are not exceeded.

Consistent with the accident analysis assumptions of a loss of offsite power (LOOP) and a single failure of one onsite emergency power path, two onsite emergency power sources are required to be OPERABLE.

AC Sources - Operating are part of the primary success path and function to mitigate an accident or transient that presents a challenge to the integrity of a fission product barrier. As such, AC Sources -

Operating satisfies the requirements of Criterion 3 of 10 CFR 50.36 (Ref. 3).

LCO Two sources on separate towers connected to the 230 kV switchyard to a unit startup transformer and one main feeder bus are required to be OPERABLE. Two KHUs with one capable of automatically providing power through the underground emergency power path to both main feeder buses and the other capable of automatically providing power through the overhead emergency power path to both main feeder buses are required to be OPERABLE. The Keowee Reservoir level is required to be Ž_ 775 feet above sea level to support OPERABILITY of the KHUs.

The zone overlap protection circuitry is required to be OPERABLE when the overhead electrical disconnects for the KHU associated with the underground power path are closed to provide single failure protection for the KHUs. The zone overlap protection circuitry includes the step-up transformer lockout, the underground KHU lockout, the Keowee emergency start signal, and the underground breaker for the overhead KHU to ensure the zone overlap protection circuitry logic is OPERABLE.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES LCO (continued)

Operable offsite sources are required to be "physically independent" (separate towers) prior to entering the 230 kV switchyard. Once the 230 kV lines enter the switchyard, an electrical pathway must exist through OPERABLE power circuit breakers (PCBs) and disconnects such that both sources are available to energize the Unit's startup transformer either automatically or with operator action. Once within the boundary of the switchyard, the electrical pathway may be the same for both independent offsite sources. In addition, at least one E breaker must be available to automatically supply power to a main feeder bus from the energized startup transformer. The voltage provided to the startup transformer by the two independent offsite sources must be sufficient to ensure ES equipment will operate. Two of the following offsite sources are required:

1)

Jocassee (from Jocassee) Black or White,

2)

Dacus (from North Greenville) Black or White,

3)

Oconee (from Central) Black or White,

4)

Two emergency power paths are available. One emergency power path consists of an underground circuit while the other emergency power pathway uses an overhead circuit through the 230 kV switchyard.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES LCO (continued)

This LCO is modified by three Notes. Note 1 indicates that a unit startup transformer may be shared with a unit in MODES 5 and 6. Note 2 indicates that the requirements of Specification 5.5.18, "KHU Commercial Power Generation Testing Program," shall be met for commercial KHU power generation. Note 3 indicates that the requirements of Specification 5.5.19, "Lee Combustion Turbine Testing Program," shall be met when a Lee Combustion Turbine (LCT) is used to comply with Required Actions.

APPLICABILITY The AC power sources are required to be OPERABLE in MODES 1, 2, 3, and 4 to ensure that:

a.

Acceptable fuel design limits and reactor coolant pressure boundary limits are not exceeded as a result of accidents and transients, and

b.

Adequate core cooling is provided, and containment OPERABILITY and other vital functions are maintained in the event of a postulated accident.

AC source requirements during MODE 5 and 6 are covered in LCO 3.8.2, AC Sources-Shutdown.

ACTIONS The ACTIONS are modified by a Note. The Note excludes the MODE change restriction of LCO 3.0.4 when both standby buses are energized from an LCT via an isolated power path to comply with Required Actions.

This exception allow entry into an applicable MODE while relying on the ACTIONS even though the ACTIONS may eventually require a unit shutdown. This exception is acceptable due to the additional capabilities afforded when both standby buses are energized from an LCT via an isolated power path.

A.1. A.2. A.3.1. and A.3.2 In the event a startup transformer becomes inoperable, it effectively causes the emergency overhead power path and both of the offsite sources to be inoperable. A KHU and its required underground power path remain available to ensure safe shutdown of the unit in the event of a transient or accident without a single failure.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS A.1, A.2, A.3.1, and A.3.2 (continued)

Operation may continue provided the KHU and its required underground emergency power path are tested using SR 3.8.1.3 within one hour if not performed in the previous 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />. This Required Action provides assurance that no undetected failures have occurred in the KHU and its required underground emergency power path. Since Required Action A.1 only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.3 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met. However, if the KHU and its required underground emergency path fails SR 3.8.1.3, both emergency power paths and both required offsite circuits are inoperable, and Condition I for both KHUs and their required emergency power paths inoperable for reasons other than Condition G and H is entered concurrent with Condition A.

If available, another Unit's startup transformer should be aligned to supply power to the affected Unit's auxiliaries so that offsite power sources and the KHU and its required overhead emergency power path will also be available if needed. Although this alignment restores the availability of the offsite sources and the KHU and its required overhead emergency power path, the shared startup transformer's capacity and voltage adequacy could be challenged under certain DBA conditions.

The shared alignment is acceptable because the preferred mode of Unit shutdown is with reactor coolant pumps providing forced circulation and due to the low likelihood of an event challenging the capacity of the shared transformer during a 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> period to bring a Unit to MODE 5.

Required Action A.3.1 requires that the unit startup transformer be restored to OPERABLE status and normal startup bus alignment in 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br /> or Required Action 3.2 requires designating one unit sharing the startup transformer, to be shutdown. For example, if Unit 1 and 2 are operating and CT-2 becomes inoperable, Unit 2 may align CT-1 to be available to the Unit 2 main feeder buses and continue operating for up to 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. At that time, if CT-2 has not been restored to OPERABLE status, one Unit must be "designated" to be shutdown. The designated Unit must be shut down per ACTION B. Note that with one Unit in MODES 1, 2, 3 or 4 and another Unit in a condition other than MODES 1, 2, 3, or 4, the units may share a startup transformer indefinitely provided that the loads on the unit not in MODES 1, 2, 3 or 4 are maintained within acceptable limits. For example, if Unit 1 is in MODE 5 and CT-2 becomes inoperable, Unit 2 may align CT-1 to the Unit 2 main feeder buses and continue operation indefinitely.

When a unit is designated to be shutdown due to sharing a unit startup transformer per Required Action A.3.2, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply, since the shared unit startup transformer's capacity could be challenged under certain DBA conditions.

To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 36 hours4.166667e-4 days <br />0.01 hours <br />5.952381e-5 weeks <br />1.3698e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

C.1, C.2.1, C.2.2.1, C.2.2.2, C.2.2.3, C.2.2.4. and C.2.2.5 With the KHU or its required overhead emergency power path inoperable due to reasons other than an inoperable startup transformer (Condition A), sufficient AC power sources remain available to ensure safe shutdown of the unit in the event of a transient or accident. Operation may continue if the OPERABILITY of the remaining KHU and its required underground emergency power path is determined by performing SR 3.8.1.3 within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> if not performed in the previous 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and once every 7 days thereafter. This demonstration assures the remaining emergency power path is not inoperable due to a common cause or other failure. Testing on a 7 day Frequency is acceptable since both standby buses must be energized from an LCT via an isolated power path when in Condition C for > 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. When the standby buses are energized by an LCT via an isolated power path, the likelihood that the OPERABLE KHU and its required underground emergency power path will be required is decreased. Since Required Action C.1 only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.3 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action not met. SR 3.8.1.3 is only required to be performed when the KHU associated with the underground emergency power path is OPERABLE.

If the KHU and its required underground emergency path fails SR 3.8.1.3, both KHUs and their required emergency power paths are inoperable, and Condition I (Both KHUs or their required emergency power paths inoperable for reasons other than Condition G or H) is entered concurrent with Condition C.

The second Completion Time for Required Action C.2.1 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for a KHU to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of having a KHU inoperable. If Condition C is entered as a result of switching an inoperable KHU from the underground to the overhead emergency power path, it may have been inoperable for up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

The second Completion Time allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed time "clock." This will result in establishing the "time zero" at the time the KHU become inoperable, instead of at the time Condition C was entered.

The extended Completion Times of Required Action C.2.2.5 apply when the KHU or its required overhead emergency power path is inoperable due to an inoperable Keowee main step-up transformer, an inoperable KHU (if not used for that KHU in the previous 3 years), or a KHU made inoperable to perform generator field pole rewind work. In order to use the extended Completion Times, within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> of entering Condition C both standby buses must be energized from an LCT (Required Action C.2.2.1), KHU generation to the grid except for testing must be suspended (Required Action C.2.2.2), the remaining KHU and its required underground emergency power path and both required offsite sources must be verified OPERABLE, the LCOs indicated in Required Action C.2.2.3 must be verified to be met, and alternate power source capability must be verified by performing SR 3.8.1.16.

Required Action C.2.2.5 permits maintenance and repair of a Keowee main step-up transformer which requires longer than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Transformer replacement is rare but is time extensive. A 28 day Completion Time is permitted by Required Action C.2.2.5 to restore the KHU and its overhead power path to OPERABLE status when inoperable due to an inoperable Keowee main step-up transformer. This allows a reasonable period of time for transformer replacement.

Required Action C.2.2.5 also permits maintenance and repair of a KHU which requires longer than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Also, generator thrust and guide bearing replacements are necessary.

Other items which manifest as failures are expected to be rare and may be performed during the permitted maintenance periods. The 45-day Completion Time of Required Action C.2.2.5 is allowed to be applied cumulatively over a rolling three year period for each KHU. This Completion Time is 45 days from discovery of initial inoperability of the KHU. This effectively limits the time the KHU can be inoperable to 45 days from discovery of initial inoperability rather than 45 days from entry into Condition C and precludes any additional time that may be gained as a result of switching an inoperable KHU from the underground to the overhead emergency power path. The Completion Time is modified by three notes. Note 1 indicates that the Completion Time is cumulative per a rolling 3-year time period for each KHU. For example, if KHU-1 is inoperable for 15 days, the 45-day Completion Time for KHU-1 is reduced to 30 days for the rolling 3-year time period containing the 15 day inoperability. This requires a review of entries for the previous 3 years to determine the remaining time allowed in the 45-day Completion Time. If the 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time of C.2.1 is not exceeded, the 45-day Completion is not applicable and is not reduced. Notes 2 and 3 indicate the Completion Time is not applicable during generator field pole rewind work or until one year after the KHU is declared OPERABLE following generator field pole rewind work. Note 2 is added to avoid using up the 45-day Completion Time concurrent with the 62-day Completion Time and preserves some time to perform emergent maintenance work should the need arise after a one year waiting period.

Note 3 is added to require a one year waiting period prior to use.

The temporary 62-day Completion Time of Required Action C.2.2.5 is allowed for each KHU to perform generator field pole rewind work. The 62-day Completion Time is modified by three notes that provide conditions for using the extended outage. Note 1 indicates that no discretionary maintenance or testing is allowed on the Standby Shutdown Facility (SSF), Emergency Feedwater (EFW), and essential alternating current (AC) Power Systems. Note 2 indicates that the 62-day Completion Time is only applicable one time for each KHU due to generator field pole rewind work and expires on January 1, 2015. Note 3 indicates that it is only applicable if the SSF and EFW are administratively verified OPERABLE prior to entering the extended Completion Time. This increases the probability, even in the unlikely event of an additional failure, that the risk significant systems will function as required to support their safety function.

Required Actions C.2.2.1, C.2.2.2, C.2.2.3, and C.2.2.4 must be met in order to allow the longer restoration times of Required Action C.2.2.5.

Required Action C.2.2.1 requires that both standby buses be energized using an LCT through the 100 kV transmission circuit. With this arrangement (100 kV transmission circuit electrically separated from the system grid and all offsite loads), a high degree of reliability for the emergency power system is provided. In this configuration, the LCT is serving as a second emergency power source, however, since the 100 kV transmission circuit is vulnerable to severe weather a time limit is imposed. The second Completion Time of Required Action C.2.2.1 permits the standby buses to be re-energized by an LCT within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in the event this source is subsequently lost. Required Action C.2.2.2 requires suspension of KHU generation to the grid except for testing.

The restriction reduces the number of possible failures which could cause loss of the underground emergency power path.

Required Action C.2.2.3 requires verifying by administrative means that the remaining KHU and its required underground emergency power path and both required offsite sources are OPERABLE. This provides additional assurance that offsite power will be available. In addition, this assures that the KHU and its required underground emergency power path are available.

Required Action C.2.2.3 also requires verifying by administrative means that the requirements of the following LCOs are met:

LCO 3.8.3, "DC Sources - Operating;"

LCO 3.8.6, "Vital Inverters - Operating;"

This increases the probability, even in the unlikely event of an additional failure, that the DC power system and the 120 VAC Vital Instrumentation power panelboards will function as required to support EPSL, power will not be lost to ES equipment, and EPSL will function as required.

If the AC Source is subsequently determined inoperable, or an LCO stated in Required Action C.2.2.3 is subsequently determined not met, continued operation up to a maximum of four hours is allowed by ACTION L. Required Action C.2.2.3 is modified by a note indicating that it is not applicable to the remaining KHU and its required underground emergency power path or LCO 3.3.21 when in Condition H to perform generator field pole rewind work.

Required Action C.2.2.4 requires verifying alternate power source capability by performing SR 3.8.1.16.

AC Sources - Operating B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS J.1. J.2, and J.3 (continued)

With one or both required offsite sources inoperable for reasons other than Condition A, sufficient AC power sources are available to supply necessary loads in the event of a DBA. However, since the AC power system is degraded below the Technical Specification requirements, a time limit on continued operation is imposed. With only one of the required offsite sources OPERABLE, the likelihood of a LOOP is increased such that the Required Actions for all required offsite circuits inoperable are conservatively followed. The risk associated with continued operation for one hour without a required offsite AC source is considered acceptable due to the low likelihood of a LOOP during this time period, and because of the potential for grid instability caused by the simultaneous shutdown of all three units.

Operation with one or both required offsite sources inoperable is permitted for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> provided that Required Actions J.1 and J.2 are met. Required Action J.1 requires that both standby buses be energized using an LCT via an isolated power path. With this arrangement (100 kV transmission circuit electrically separated from the system grid and all offsite loads), a high degree of reliability for the emergency power system is provided. In this configuration, the LCT is serving as an emergency power source, however, since the Oconee units are vulnerable to a single failure of the 100 kV transmission circuit a time limit is imposed. The second Completion Time of Required Action J.1 permits the standby buses to be re-energized by an LCT within 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> in the event this source is subsequently lost. Required Action J.2 requires that the OPERABILITY status of both KHUs and their required emergency power paths be determined by administrative means and that the OPERABILITY status of equipment required by the following LCOs be determined by administrative means:

This increases the probability, even in the unlikely event of an additional failure, that the DC power system and the 120 VAC Vital Instrumentation power panelboards will function as required to support EPSL, power will not be lost to ES equipment, and EPSL will function as required.

Determining by administrative means allows a check of logs or other information to determine the OPERABILITY status of required equipment in place of requiring unique performance of Surveillance Requirements.

If the AC Source is initially or subsequently determined inoperable, or an LCO stated in Required Action J.2 is initially or subsequently determined not met, continued operation up to a maximum of four hours is allowed by ACTION L.

K. 1 The two trip circuits for each closed N and SL breakers are required to ensure both breakers will open. An N breaker trip circuit encompasses those portions of the breaker control circuits necessary to trip the associated N breaker from the output of the 2 out of 3 logic matrix formed by the auxiliary transformer's undervoltage sensing circuits up to and including an individual trip coil for the associated N breaker. The undervoltage sensing channels for the auxiliary transformer are addressed in LCO 3.3.18, "Emergency Power Switching Logic (EPSL)

Voltage Sensing Circuits." An SL breaker trip circuit encompasses those portions of the breaker control circuits necessary to trip the SL breaker from the output of both 2 out of 3 logic matrices formed by each standby bus's undervoltage sensing circuits up to and including an individual trip coil for the associated SL breaker. The undervoltage sensing channels for the CT-5 transformer are addressed in LCO 3.3.18, "Emergency Power Switching Logic (EPSL) Voltage Sensing Circuits." With one trip circuit inoperable a single failure could cause an N or SL breaker to not open. This could prevent the transfer to other available sources.

Therefore, 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> is allowed to repair the trip circuit or open the breaker (opening the breaker results in exiting the Condition). The Completion Time is based on engineering judgement taking into consideration the time required to complete the required action and the availability of the remaining trip circuit.

A Note modifies the Condition, indicating that separate Condition Entry is permitted for each breaker. Thus, Completion Times are tracked separately for the N1, N2, SL1, and SL2 breaker.

With an AC Source inoperable or LCO not met, as stated in Note for Condition H entry; or with an AC Source inoperable or LCO not met, as stated in Required Action C.2.2.3 when in Condition C for > 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />; or with an AC Source inoperable or LCO not met, as stated in Required Action 1.2 or J.2 when in Conditions I or J for > 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br />; or with SR 3.8.1.16 not met, Required Action L.1, L.2 and L.3 requires restoration within four hours. Condition L is modified by a Note indicating that separate Condition entry is permitted for each inoperable AC Source, and LCO or SR not met. The Required Action is modified by a Note that allows the remaining OPERABLE KHU and its required emergency power path to be made inoperable for up to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> if required to restore both KHUs and their required emergency power paths to OPERABLE status.

This note is necessary since certain actions such as dewatering the penstock may be necessary to restore the inoperable KHU although these actions would also cause both KHUs to be inoperable.

The purpose of this Required Action is to restrict the allowed outage time for an inoperable AC Source or equipment required by an LCO when in Conditions C, H, I or J. For Conditions I and J when the LCOs stated are initially not met, the maximum Completion Time is four hours or the remaining Completion Time allowed by the stated LCO, whichever is shorter.

M.1 and M.2 If a Required Action and associated Completion Time for Condition C, F, G, H, I, J, K or L are not met; or if a Required Action and associated Completion Time are not met for Required Action D.1 or D.3, the unit must be brought to a MODE in which the LCO does not apply. To achieve this status, the unit must be brought to at least MODE 3 within 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> and to MODE 5 within 84 hours9.722222e-4 days <br />0.0233 hours <br />1.388889e-4 weeks <br />3.1962e-5 months <br />. The allowed Completion Times are reasonable, based on operating experience, to reach the required unit conditions from full power conditions in an orderly manner and without challenging unit systems.

SURVEILLANCE SR 3.8.1.1 REQUIREMENTS This SR ensures proper circuit continuity for the offsite AC electrical power supply to the onsite distribution network and availability of offsite AC electrical power.

REQUIREMENTS connected to their power source, and that appropriate separation of offsite sources is maintained. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.2 This SR verifies adequate battery voltage when the KHU batteries are on float charge. This SR is performed to verify KHU battery OPERABILITY.

The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.3 This SR verifies the availability of the KHU associated with the underground emergency power path to start automatically and energize the underground power path. Utilization of either the auto-start or emergency start sequence assures the control function OPERABILITY by verifying proper speed control and voltage. Power path verification is included to demonstrate breaker OPERABILITY from the KHU onto the standby buses. This is accomplished by closing the Keowee Feeder Breakers (SK) to energize each deenergized standby bus. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SIR 3.8.1.4 This surveillance verifies the availability of the KHU associated with the overhead emergency power path. Utilization of either the auto-start or emergency start sequence assures the control function OPERABILITY by verifying proper speed control and voltage. The ability to supply the overhead emergency power path is satisfied by demonstrating the ability to synchronize (automatically or manually) the KHU with the grid system.

If an automatic start of the KHU is performed and a manual synchronization is desired, the KHU will need to be shutdown and re-started in manual to allow a manual synchronization of the KHU. The SR also requires that the underground power path be energized after removing the KHU from the overhead emergency power path. This surveillance can be satisfied by first demonstrating the ability of the KHU OCONEE UNITS 1, 2, & 3 B 3.8.1-20 BASES REVISION DATED 05/14/14 I

REQUIREMENTS associated with the underground emergency path to energize the underground path then synchronizing the KHU to the overhead emergency power path. The SR is modified by a Note indicating that the requirement to energize the underground emergency power path is not applicable when the overhead disconnects are open for the KHU associated with the underground emergency power path or 2) when complying with Required Action D.1. The latter exception is necessary since Required Action D.1 continues to be applicable when both KHUs are inoperable.

The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.5 This surveillance verifies OPERABILITY of the trip functions of each closed SL and each closed N breaker. Neither of these breakers have any automatic close functions; therefore, only the trip coils require verification. Cycling of each breaker demonstrates functional OPERABILITY and the coil monitor circuits verify the integrity of each trip coil. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

This SR modified by a Note that states it is not required to be performed for an SL breaker when its standby bus is energized from a LCT via an isolated power path. This is necessary since the standby buses are required to be energized from a LCT by several Required Actions of Specification 3.8.1 and the breakers must remain closed to energize the standby buses from a LCT.

SR 3.8.1.6 Infrequently used source breakers are cycled to ensure OPERABILITY.

The Standby breakers are to be cycled one breaker at a time to prevent inadvertent interconnection of two units through the standby bus breakers. Cycling the startup breakers verifies OPERABILITY of the breakers and associated interlock circuitry between the normal and startup breakers. This circuitry provides an automatic, smooth, and safe transfer of auxiliaries in both directions between sources. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment OCONEE UNITS 1, 2, & 3 B 3.8.1-21 BASES REVISION DATED 05/14/14 I

REQUIREMENTS reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

This SR is modified by a Note which states the SR is not required to be performed for an S breaker when its standby bus is energized from a LCT via an isolated power path. This is necessary since the standby buses are required to be energized from a LCT by several Required Actions of Specification 3.8.1 and cycling the S breakers connects the standby buses with the main feeder buses which are energized from another source.

SR 3.8.1.7 The KHU tie breakers to the underground path, ACB3 and ACB4, are interlocked to prevent cross-connection of the KHU generators. The safety analysis utilizes two independent power paths for accommodating single failures in applicable accidents. Connection of both generators to the underground path compromises the redundancy of the emergency power paths. Installed test logic is used to verify a circuit to the close coil on one underground ACB does not exist with the other underground ACB closed. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.8 Each KHU tie breaker to the underground emergency power path and tie breaker to the overhead emergency path, are interlocked to prevent the unit associated with the underground circuit from automatically connecting to the overhead emergency power path. The safety analysis utilizes two independent power paths for accommodating single failures in applicable accidents. Connection of both generators to the overhead emergency power path compromises the redundancy of the emergency power paths. Temporary test instrumentation is used to verify a circuit to the close coil on the overhead ACB does not exist with the Underground ACB closed. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.9 This surveillance verifies the KHUs' response time to an Emergency Start signal (normally performed using a pushbutton in the control room) to ensure ES equipment will have adequate power for accident mitigation.

UFSAR Section 6.3.3.3 (Ref. 9) establishes the 23 second time requirement for each KHU to achieve rated frequency and voltage. Since the only available loads of adequate magnitude for simulating a accident is the grid, subsequent loading on the grid is required to verify the KHU's ability to assume rapid loading under accident conditions. Sequential block loads are not available to fully test this feature. This is the reason for the requirement to load the KHUs at the maximum practical rate. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.10 A battery service test is a special test of the battery capability, as found, to satisfy the design requirements (battery duty cycle) of the DC electrical power system. The discharge rate and test length should correspond to the design duty cycle requirements as specified in Reference 4.

The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.11 Visual inspection of the battery cells, cell plates, and battery racks provides an indication of physical damage or abnormal deterioration that could potentially degrade battery performance. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.12 Verification of cell to cell connection cleanliness, tightness, and proper coating with anti-corrosion grease provides an indication of any abnormal condition, and assures continued OPERABILITY of the battery. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

SR 3.8.1.13 The KHU underground ACBs have a control feature which will automatically close the KHU, that is pre-selected to the overhead path, into the underground path upon an electrical fault in the zone overlap region of the protective relaying. This circuitry prevents an electrical fault in the zone overlap region of the protective relaying from locking out both emergency power paths during dual KHU grid generation. In order to ensure this circuitry is OPERABLE, an electrical fault is simulated in the zone overlap region and the associated underground ACBs are verified to operate correctly. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

This SR is modified by a Note indicating the SR is only applicable when the overhead disconnects to the underground KHU are closed. When the overhead disconnects to the underground KHU are open, the circuitry preventing the zone overlap protective lockout of both KHUs is not needed.

SR 3.8.1.14 This surveillance verifies OPERABILITY of the trip functions of the SL and N breakers. This SR verifies each trip circuit of each breaker independently opens each breaker. Neither of these breakers have any automatic close functions; therefore, only the trip circuits require verification. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

The SR is modified by a Note indicating that the SR is not required for an SL breaker when its standby bus is energized by a LCT via an isolated power path. This is necessary since the standby buses are required to be energized from a LCT by several Required Actions of Specification 3.8.1 and the breakers must remain closed to energize the standby buses from a LCT.

SR 3.8.1.15 This surveillance verifies proper operation of the 230 kV switchyard circuit breakers upon an actual or simulated actuation of the Switchyard Isolation circuitry. This test causes an actual switchyard isolation (by OCONEE UNITS 1, 2, & 3 B 3.8.1-24 BASES REVISION DATED 05/14/14 I

REQUIREMENTS actuation of degraded grid voltage protection) and alignment of KHUs to the overhead and underground emergency power paths. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program. The effect of this SR is not significant because the generator red bus tie breakers and feeders from the Oconee 230 kV switchyard red bus to the system grid remain closed. Either Switchyard Isolation Channel causes full system realignment, which involves a complete switchyard realignment. To avoid excessive switchyard circuit breaker cycling, realignment and KHU emergency start functions, this SR need be performed only once each SR interval.

SR 3.8.1.16 This SR verifies by administrative means that one KHU provides an alternate manual AC power source capability by manual or automatic KHU start with manual synchronize, or breaker closure, to energize its non-required emergency power path. That is, when the KHU to the overhead emergency power path is inoperable, the SR verifies by administrative means that the overhead emergency power path is OPERABLE. When the overhead emergency power path is inoperable, the SR verifies by administrative means that the KHU associated with the overhead emergency power path is OPERABLE.

This SR is modified by a Note indicating that the SR is only applicable when complying with Required Action C.2.2.4.

SR 3.8.1.17 This SR verifies the Keowee Voltage and Frequency out of tolerance logic trips and blocks closure of the appropriate overhead or underground power path breakers on an out of tolerance trip signal. The Surveillance Frequency is based on operating experience, equipment reliability, and plant risk and is controlled under the Surveillance Frequency Control Program.

REQUIREMENTS There are three over voltage relays, three under voltage relays, and three over/under frequency relays per KHU with each relay actuating an auxiliary relay used to provide two out of three logic. These relays monitor generator output voltage and if two phases are above/below setpoint, prevent the power path breakers from closing or if closed, provide a trip signal which is applied after a time delay, to open the power path breakers. Testing demonstrates that relays actuate at preset values, that timers time out and that two under voltage relays, two over voltage relays, or two over/under frequency relays will actuate the logic channel. This ensures that the power path breakers will not close and if closed, will trip after a preset time delay that becomes effective when the KHU first reaches the required frequency and voltage band.
