E. I. Hatch Nuclear PlantDegraded Grid VoltageLicense Amendment Request HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR OverviewDVR -Degraded Voltage Relay -senses voltage on 4 kV Emergency Bus-provides contacts for automatic action LAR -License Amendment Request LOCA -Loss of Coolant Accident -requires group starting of Class 1E equipment MEV -Minimum Expected Voltage on 4 kV bus concurrent with a)steady-state LOCA loading, and b)offsite supply at minimum normal voltage, 101.3% of 230 kVMRV -Minimum Required Voltage on 4 kV bus; is the greater ofa)Min voltage for non-accident operation of Class 1E loads, b)Min pre-start voltage for LOCA group motor starting c)Min start/run voltage for individual motors under max accident loading SAT -Startup Auxiliary Transformer -supplies 4 kV buses from 230kV grid Definitions HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview*Eliminate use of manual actions for degraded voltage protection*LAR Submission: Targeting February 28, 2017

• The LAR will contain the following:

Detailed Description 3.0Technical Evaluation 4.0Regulatory Evaluation 4.1 Significant Hazards Consideration 4.2Applicable Regulatory Requirements/Criteria 4.3Precedent 4.4Conclusion5.0Environmental Consideration 6.0References Purpose of LAR and Submittal Date HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR Overview Physical Change Highlights*Replace existing SATs and add a 3 rdSAT per unit*Expand 4 kV cable bus system and realign loads among the 3 SATs*Replace 4 kV breakers and upgrade bus bar supports

• Replace induction disc DVRs with new solid-state DVRs (3 per bus)

HNP Degraded Grid Voltage LAR OverviewTechnical Specification Change Highlights*TS 3.8.1 -Change required OPERABLE offsite circuits from 2 to 3*TS 3.3.8.1 -Increase DVR actuation voltage, specified for each bus*TS 3.3.8.1 -Decrease DVR actuation delay time

• TS 3.3.8.1 -Return alarm relay function to non-Tech Spec status Methodology for Relay Setpoints(Voltage and Time Delay)*Degraded Voltage Relays (DVRs) shall be set such that offsite power will be automatically disconnected and transferred to onsite power during an extended degraded grid condition (any voltage dip having a longer duration than expected for normal or accident operations). *The DVRs on each Class 1E 4KV bus will be set so that, including tolerances, voltage dropout valuewill be above the MRV value.*The DVR voltage reset value, including tolerances, will be set below the MEV.
