Letter, G02-90-123,          JW  Baker (SS) to JD Partlow (NRC),
              "Request    for  Waiver    of  Compliance Relative to Technical Specification        3.8. 1.2, AC Sources - Shutdown",
dated July 11, 1990 The  reference requested a waiver of compliance to allow for removal of the Division  2 diesel generator from service for the purpose of performing testing relative to a shorted turn condition that exists on one rotor pole of the unit.
A purpose of the testing was to develop information to support a justification for continued operation (JCO) with the shorted turn condition. The testing was successfully performed on July 17, 1990. Attached for your information is the JCO that is based, in part, on the results obtained from this testing.                    The JCO concludes that the diesel generator is capable of supporting the present operability requirements of the Technical Specifications and fulfilling its design function with the shorted turn condition.
It is our plan to startup from the R5 refueling outage with the existing generator condition and perform those monitoring and trending activities proposed on page 5 of the JCO for as long as the JCO is in effect.

Letter, G02-90-123, JW Baker (SS)to JD Partlow (NRC),"Request for Waiver of Compliance Relative to Technical Specification 3.8.1.2, AC Sources-Shutdown", dated July 11, 1990 The reference requested a waiver of compliance to allow for removal of the Division 2 diesel generator from service for the purpose of performing testing relative to a shorted turn condition that exists on one rotor pole of the unit.A purpose of the testing was to develop information to support a justification for continued operation (JCO)with the shorted turn condition.
I>    ~  ~ . .
The testing was successfully performed on July 17, 1990.Attached for your information is the JCO that is based, in part, on the results obtained from this testing.The JCO concludes that the diesel generator is capable of supporting the present operability requirements of the Technical Specifications and fulfilling its design function with the shorted turn condition.

It is our plan to startup from the R5 refueling outage with the existing generator condition and perform those monitoring and trending activities proposed on page 5 of the JCO for as long as the JCO is in effect.Very truly yours, Regulatory Programs AGH/bk Attachment DL Williams-BPA/399 NRC Site Inspector-901A cc: JB Hartin-NRC RV NS Reynolds-BCPSR P Eng-NRC 9008060064 900727 PDR ADOCK 05000397 PDC gu(

NUCLEAR PLANT NO. 2, OPERATING LICENSE NPF-21 EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATOR-2 SHORTED TURNS; JUSTIFICATION FOR CONTINUED OPERATION

Reference:

Letter, G02-90-123, JW Baker (SS) to JD Partlow (NRC),

"Request for Waiver of Compliance Relative to Technical Specification 3.8. 1.2, AC Sources - Shutdown",

dated July 11, 1990 The reference requested a waiver of compliance to allow for removal of the Division 2 diesel generator from service for the purpose of performing testing relative to a shorted turn condition that exists on one rotor pole of the unit.

A purpose of the testing was to develop information to support a justification for continued operation (JCO) with the shorted turn condition. The testing was successfully performed on July 17, 1990. Attached for your information is the JCO that is based, in part, on the results obtained from this testing. The JCO concludes that the diesel generator is capable of supporting the present operability requirements of the Technical Specifications and fulfilling its design function with the shorted turn condition.

It is our plan to startup from the R5 refueling outage with the existing generator condition and perform those monitoring and trending activities proposed on page 5 of the JCO for as long as the JCO is in effect.

1) Severe field coil snar ting can reduce the fnagnetic flux produced by that pole and hence reduce the output YoltagB genel aiBd 1n the siatar coils. The voltage r eguiatar will incr ease the f ield cUPI cnt as necessery to maintain ihe aver age gener ator autpui voltage. Depending cn tile quantity of shorted turns. this increased f ieid cur r ent can r esult in an incr'eased load an the

excitation system and increased heating in the affected field coiis.

2) Sharted turns can cause incr eased heat ing within the r atar paie where the shor ts exist.
