Justification for LCO 3.9.A.6 This specification is being changed to'require that there be a minimum of 35,280 ga'lions of diesel fuel in each of the diesel generator seven-day fuel tank assemblies.
This change is made to clarify the nature of the diesel generator fuel oil storage system and make it applicable to each diesel generator.
e At BFN there are two sets of four diesel generators (Unit 1 and 2 diesel generators A, B, C, and D;and Unit 3 diesel generators 3A, 3B, 3C, and ,3D).The current technical specifications imply the existence of one large fuel storage tank for each set of diesel generators and that this tank will be required to contain at least 103,300 gallons of diesel fuel oil.Actually,'each diesel generator has its own independent seven-day fuel oil storage tank assembly.The diesel fuel oil system has the capability to transfer fuel oil from the yard tank to the seven-day tank assemblies and between the seven-day tank assemblies for each set of diesel generators.
However, this transfer system is not seismically qualified; therefore, each diesel generator seven-day fuel tank assembly must contain enough fuel oil to operate the associated diesel generator ,for'even days.Regulatory Guide 1.137, Fuel Oil Systems for Standby Diesel Generators, requires an adequate fuel supply for operation-of the diesel engines during the maximum expected time interval between replenishment.
