Clarification Regarding Use of Vernon Tie for Appendix R Compliance In Reference (b), Vermont Yankee requested an exemption from 1OCFR50, Appendix R, section l1I.L to allow use of the Vernon Tie as a source of ac power in alternative shutdown scenarios.
Clarification Regarding Use of Vernon Tie for Appendix R Compliance In Reference (b), Vermont Yankee requested an exemption from 10CFR50, Appendix R, section l1I.L to allow use of the Vernon Tie as a source of ac power in alternative shutdown scenarios. Vermont Yankee utilizes alternative shutdown capability in the event of a fire in the control room or cable spreading room. Currently, Vermont Yankee uses one of the two onsite emergency diesel generators in an alternate shutdown mode as a source of ac power when offsite power is not available in the event of a control room or cable spreading room fire.
Vermont Yankee utilizes alternative shutdown capability in the event of a fire in the control room or cable spreading room. Currently, Vermont Yankee uses one of the two onsite emergency diesel generators in an alternate shutdown mode as a source of ac power when offsite power is not available in the event of a control room or cable spreading room fire.This exemption was requested to facilitate the restoration of ac power to safe shutdown equipment and to reduce the operator timeline
This exemption was requested to facilitate the restoration of ac power to safe shutdown equipment and to reduce the operator timeline for initiating alternate shutdown systems. Use of the Vernon Tie has several significant advantages over use of an emergency diesel generator to meet alternate shutdown requirements. These advantages include: prompt restoration of power using simpler operator actions; continuous operation without dependence on support systems; and reliability of the Vernon Tie. As stated in Reference (b), the Vernon Tie is normally energized and the availability of Vernon Station has historically been well above 99%,
exceeding the required alternate ac source availability of 95%. However, in the event the Vernon Tie is unavailable, a diesel generator will be available to provide backup power.
In Reference (b) Vermont Yankee stated that it would institute the following administrative limit in the event of an unplanned unavailability of the Vernon Tie:
Power operationmay continue for no more than 15 days, unless the Vernon Tie is returned to

: 2.     DC Control Power Unavailable NOTE The below listed steps are for tripping the breaker only.
: a.     Obtain Shift Manager's permission to perform local tripping of the desired 4 KV breaker.,
CAUTION If the remote switch is left in an AUTO or ON position, the 4 KV breaker associated with that switch would close when DC control power is restored, therefore, it is essential that the remote switch remain in the PULL-TO-LOCK or OFF position.
: b.     Check that remote switch for that breaker is positioned to PULL-TO-LOCK or OFF.
: c.     Open door to the desired 4 KV breaker and depress local mechanical TRIP button.
: d.     Verify that breaker has tripped by observing local mechanical position indicator.
: e.       Report breaker status to Control Room.
K. Local Operation of a 4 KV Bus I or 2 or 5 Breaker NOTE Breaker 55 can only be opened and closed locally CAUTION Local manual operation of a 4 KV breaker (except BKR 55) will only be performed in an extreme emergency and then only with permission of the Shift Manager. Under no circumstances will the breakers be operated to closed if DC control power for the breaker is unavailable.
I.     Obtain Shift Manager's permission to perform local operation of the desired 4 KV breaker.

Subject:

Clarification Regarding Use of Vernon Tie for Appendix R Compliance In Reference (b), Vermont Yankee requested an exemption from 10CFR50, Appendix R, section l1I.L to allow use of the Vernon Tie as a source of ac power in alternative shutdown scenarios. Vermont Yankee utilizes alternative shutdown capability in the event of a fire in the control room or cable spreading room. Currently, Vermont Yankee uses one of the two onsite emergency diesel generators in an alternate shutdown mode as a source of ac power when offsite power is not available in the event of a control room or cable spreading room fire.

This exemption was requested to facilitate the restoration of ac power to safe shutdown equipment and to reduce the operator timeline for initiating alternate shutdown systems. Use of the Vernon Tie has several significant advantages over use of an emergency diesel generator to meet alternate shutdown requirements. These advantages include: prompt restoration of power using simpler operator actions; continuous operation without dependence on support systems; and reliability of the Vernon Tie. As stated in Reference (b), the Vernon Tie is normally energized and the availability of Vernon Station has historically been well above 99%,

exceeding the required alternate ac source availability of 95%. However, in the event the Vernon Tie is unavailable, a diesel generator will be available to provide backup power.

In Reference (b) Vermont Yankee stated that it would institute the following administrative limit in the event of an unplanned unavailability of the Vernon Tie:

Power operationmay continue for no more than 15 days, unless the Vernon Tie is returned to service or a Basis for Maintaining Operability(BMO) evaluation is written and approved.

In Reference (c), the NRC staff expressed concern that the Vernon Tie, if approved for use as Vermont Yankee's preferred source of power for alternative shutdown, may be out of service

Appendix R Tie - Appendix CompI1iIance ILetter.tif R ICompliance Lett Ier.tif Page 2 ýJ VERMONT YANKEE NUCLEAR POWER CORPORATION United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Febnrary 19, 1997 Page 2 of 2 indefinitely without NRC notification. In consideration of the NRC staffs concern, Vermont Yankee will revise, upon approval of the exemption requested in Reference (b), the administrative limit stated above to require that a special report be submitted to the NRC in the event of an unplanned unavailability of the Vernon Tie. The revised administrative limit will read:

Power operation may continue for no more than 15 days, unless the Vernon Tie is returned to service or a Basis for Maintaining Operability (BMO) evaluationis written and approvedby the Plant OperationsReview Committee.

If the Vernon Tie cannot be returnedto service within 15 days, submit a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in accordance with 10CFR50.4, within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> outlining the reason for the unavailability, corrective actions being taken to restore the Vernon Tie, compensatory actions in place to provide ac power for Appendix R alternative shutdown fire scenarios and the time required to make the Vernon Tie available, We trust that this submittal provides the requested information. However, should you have questions or require additional information, please contact this office.

-c-~-

JoniathanRowley - OP 21 42 VernonTTie co. pdfPage 4I The following breakers are interlocked as follows:

I. 3V4 cannot be closed unless breakers 3V and 4V are open.

2. 3V cannot be closed unless 3T1 and DG-I B are open or 4V closed and 3V4 open.
3. 4V cannot be closed unless 4T2 and DG-IA are open or 3V closed and 3V4 open.
4. 3TI cannot be closed unless 3V is open or racked down.
5. 4T2 cannot be closed unless 4V is open or racked down.
6. DG-IB can be closed manually through synchroswitch even if 3V or 3T1 are closed. When 3V or 3TI are closed DG-1B cannot be closed automatically.
7. DG-l A can be closed manually through synchroswitch even if 4V or 4T2 are closed. When 4V or 4T2 are closed DG-I A cannot be closed automatically.

All 4 KV breakers in the switchgear room can be operated manually from inside their respective cabinets. Additionally, the breakers on buses 3 and 4 can also be operated locally using the emergency breaker control switches (positions: TRIP/CLOSE) that are mounted on the front of their'cabinets. All of the emergency breaker control switches on bus 3, except for 3V4, and two of the switches on bus 4 are keylocked to prevent inadvertent local operation. The other emergency breaker control switches on bus 4 are associated with alternate shutdown and are not keylocked. These breakers are also provided with normal/emergency transfer switches which must be used in conjunction with the respective non-keylocked emergency breaker control switch to operate the breaker locally during alternate shutdown.

All 4 KV breakers in the switchgear room also contain breaker control switches (positions: TRIP/CLOSE) with L-shaped handles which are used by the Maintenance Department for breaker testing when the breaker is racked down. They are non-functional when the breaker is in the normal position.

All breakers on the 4 KV buses have red light supervision. The red indication light and the protective relay circuits are wired in series with the trip coil. Should the red light go out with the breaker closed, it may indicate an open trip coil or trip coil circuit. If the trip coil or circuit is open, the breaker will not trip even under fault conditions. If the TOC fails open, remote breaker control and indication is lost but the electrical protection will still operate for all breakers, except

'the diesel output breakers.

All 4 KV motors at Vermont Yankee are equipped with 50-51 relay protection (over current sensing and tripping) on each phase lead. The reactor feed pump and the recirc MG drive motors also have 87 relay protection (differential fault current tripping).

The 50-51 over current relay is a combination device. One part, the 50, functions instantaneously and is indicative of fault type currents. It has a separate indicating target on the right side of the relay marked INST.

OP 2142 Rev. 50 Page 4 of 31

Jona.than Rowley - OP 2142 Vernon Tie I.co. pd If Jonathan ... Rowley - OP 2142 Vernon Tie*Icod Pa!ge 5 Trips of this type should be subject to the same inspection as a differential trip and should not be restarted. The second part, the 51 portion, is a time delayed function of the relay and is indicative of over currents due to high starting torques, overloading the driven unit, mechanical problems, bearings, etc. Its target is on the left side of the relays marked TIME. If a breaker trips due to a time delayed overcurrent condition, reclosure of the breaker should not be attempted until cleared by the Maintenance Department, unless the equipment is urgently needed due to an.

emergency condition affecting plant safety. This applies only to the 51 portion.

The Vernon Tie consists of an underground cable which runs between the hydro station switchyard and a stepdown transformer (T-Vernon-Hydro) located at the north end of the west cooling tower. The low voltage side of the transformer (4KV) ties to the inhouse electric system via breaker 3V4. The connection at the 13KV hydro station switchyard which provides relay fault protection, is from Oil Circuit Breaker (OCB) #$10. This OCB will open on a system fault, and it remains open until the fault condition is cleared. At the transformer is a local fused disconnect switch on the high voltage side. The disconnect and transformer enclosure access door are key interlocked such that the disconnect must be open in order to remove the key. The key can then be used to unlock the access door.

When the main generator/turbine are off-line, the 4KV buses can be backfed through the main/auxiliary transformer if the startup transformers are not available, or are required to be removed from service for maintenance activities.

A generator "No Load" manual disconnect switch, GD-I, is installed in the 22KV isolated phase bus, inside the turbine building between the main step up transformer and the main generator, to isolate the main generator from the main transformer during 4KV bus backfeeding operations. The switch is operated via a simple hand crank. Position switches are wired into the existing primary and backup generator lockout trip circuits to automatically disable the anti-motoring protection and core spray initiation protection circuits when the disconnect is opened. The following lockouts are affected:

  • Anti-motoring trip of 86/G-P
  • Anti-motoring trip of 86/G-B
  • Core spray initiation (14A-KI IB,-K19B) trip of 86/G-B Appendix C, Energizing 4KV Buses 3 and 4 from Vernon 4160 Line is intended to be used as an operator aid at CRP 9-8 to provide a check for major actions to transfer power to the Vernon Tie.

5. Motors that trip due to operation of differential relays should never be restarted until a thorough electrical and mechanical inspection has been completed and the motor is released for restart by the Maintenance Department.
6. Exercise due caution when working near energized equipment to prevent contact with high voltage.
7. Ensure personnel protective equipment (e.g., eye protection, arc flash protection clothing, electrical safety gloves, etc.) is worn as required by Safety Standard 302 or EN-IS-123 as applicable when racking breakers (locally or remotely) in or out.
8. After operation of any breaker, observe indication lights to verify proper operation where possible.
9. Breaker 53 trips open upon loss of Bus 5 voltage. Ensure Breaker 53 is open prior to performing a planned de-energization of the startup transformers.
10. For the safety of personnel and equipment, perform local manual operation of the 4 KV breakers only in an extreme emergency. Under no circumstances are the breakers to be operated CLOSED if DC control power to the breaker is unavailable.
11. Only persons qualified under local switching and tagging rules are allowed to operate breakers.
12. The 3V or 4V breakers shall not be placed in the "Full Test Position" as defined in OP 5299, with the mechanical plunger extension arm installed and the elevating platform raised, unless the plant is shutdown because the auto closure of the DG-IA or DG-IB breakers would be defeated. The SW pump C or D breakers shall not be placed in the "Full Test Position", as defined in OP 5299, (with the mechanical plunger extension arm installed and the elevating platform raised), unless the plant is shutdown because the SW pump start on a diesel start would be defeated. If testing under these conditions should be necessary when the plant is in operation, a special procedure shall be written requiring operational monitoring during the test period and a minimum time of testing in the closed position. The Shift Manager must contact the Maintenance Supervisor to determine breaker test conditions prior to authorizing test performance.
13. To be considered operable, 4 KV bus voltage must be maintained as follows:

Buses 1/2/3/4/5 3700-4400 volts (YAEC Report 1205 and VYC-1088)

Vernon voltage 3900-4500 volts (all modes) (VYC-1512 Rev. 2 and Memo VYE 99/031)

14. If a breaker trips due to a fault type current (INST. indicating target), do not attempt to reclose it until cleared by Maintenance Department.

15. If a breaker trips due to a delayed overcurrent condition (TIME indicating target), do not attempt to reclose it until cleared by Maintenance Department, unless the equipment is urgently needed due to an emergency condition affecting plant safety.
16. Because of its safety significance, following a loss of the Vernon Tie power supply, power operation may continue for no more than 15 days, unless the Vernon Tie is returned to service or a Basis for Maintaining Operability (BMO) evaluation is written and approved. (BVY96-43)

If the Vernon Tie cannot be returned to service within 15 days, submit a report to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, in accordance with 10CFR50.4, within the next 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> outlining the following:

  • reason for the unavailability,
  • corrective actions being taken to restore the Vernon Tie, compensatory actions in place to provide AC power for Appendix R alternative shutdown fire scenarios, and
  • the time required to make the Vernon Tie available. (BVY97-25)
17. Operability of 3V and 4V Breakers is verified by performing testing as specified in ER 2005-0798, Post Maintenance Testing for 4KV Breakers 3V and 4V.

PREREQUISITES I1. To energize the 4 KV buses through breakers (BKR) 13 and 23, the startup transformers must be energized.

2. To energize the 4 KV buses through breakers 12 and 22, the auxiliary transformer must be energized from the main generator which is phased to the 345 KV system or backfed through the main transformer during shutdowns while the main generator no load disconnect switch GD-I is open.
