Attachment I to ET 05-0025 Page 1 of 2 DISCUSSION OF CHANGES TO TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION 3.8.1 WCNOC letter WO 03-0057, dated October 3, 2003, provided an application to revise Technical Specification (TS) 3.8.1, "AC Sources - Operating," to extend the Completion Times for the Required Actions associated with an inoperable diesel generator (DG). The probabilistic safety analysis (PSA) model to support the proposed extension of the DG Completion Time is a partial update that addresses the inclusion of the Sharpe Station. In 2002, an additional nearby offsite power source (Sharpe Station) became available to WCNOC.

In the proposed TS Bases changes provided in letter WO 03-0057, WCNOC indicated that the administrative controls applied during use of the extended Completion Time for voluntary planned maintenance activities would ensure or require that the Sharpe Station is available to provide greater than 8 MW power to a dead bus to power I engineered safeguard features (ESF) train. In discussions with the NRC Project Manager on October 31, 2005, it was identified that additional requirements associated with the Sharpe Station are necessary based on the precedent approved by the NRC on September 29, 2005 in Amendment No. 268 and Amendment No. 150 for the Beaver Valley Power Station, Unit Nos. 1 and 2.

Provided below is a discussion of the changes being proposed to TS 3.8.1.

A Note is added to the Completion Time for Required Action A.3, Restore offsite circuit to OPERABLE status, to account for the renumbering of Required Action B.4 and the addition of Required Action B.4.2.1 and Required Action B.4.2.2. The Note states: "A Completion Time of 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO may be used with the 7 day Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2 for an inoperable DG." The Note modifies the Completion Time and allows 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the limiting condition for operation (LCO) during the use of the 7-day Completion Time in Required Action B.4.2.2.

Changes to Required Action B.4 Required Action B.4 is renumbered to B.4.1.

A Note is added to the Required Actions which states: 'Required Actions B.4.2.1 and B.4.2.2 are only applicable for planned maintenance and may be used once per cycle per DG."

Required Action B.4.2.1 and Required Action B.4.2.2 are added for declaring or rendering a DG inoperable for the performance of voluntary planned maintenance once per cycle per DG. Required Action B.4.2.1 provides assurance that the required Sharpe Station gensets are available when a DG is out of service for greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. The availability of the required gensets are verified once per 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> by contacting Kansas Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. (KEPCo) personnel for the status of the units. Required Action B.4.2.2 requires restoration of the DG to OPERABLE status within 7 days and 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO.

Attachment I to ET 05-0025 Page 2 of 2 A new Condition C is added to restore the DG to OPERABLE status within 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> if the availability of the required Sharpe Station gensets cannot be verified.

The 72-hour Completion Time begins upon entry into Condition C, however, the total time to restore an inoperable DG cannot exceed 7 days based on the Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2.

The remaining Conditions and Required Actions are renumbered with the addition of new Condition C.

New Condition H is revised to account for new Condition C.

The Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> for Required Action B.4.1 applies when a DG is discovered or determined to be inoperable, such as due to a component or test failure, and requires time to effect repairs, or it may apply when a DG is rendered inoperable for the performance of maintenance during applicable MODES.

The 7-day Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2 is a risk-informed allowed outage time based on a plant-specific risk analysis. The Completion Time was established on the assumption that it would be used only for voluntary planned maintenance, inspections and testing. Use of Required Action B.4.2.1 and Required Action B.4.2.2 are limited to once within an operating cycle (18 months) for each DG.

Administrative controls are applied for the use of Required Action B.4.2.2 that ensure or require that: 1) weather conditions are conducive and the extended Completion Time applies during the period of September 6 through April 22; 2) the offsite power supply and switchyard condition are conducive for the extended Completion Time; 3) prior to relying on the required Sharpe Station gensets, the gensets are started and proper operation verified, but are not maintained in operation for the duration of the allowed outage time for the DG; and 4) no equipment or systems assumed to be available for supporting the extended Completion Time are removed from service. These administrative controls are specified in the TS Bases.

The associated TS Bases changes that reflect the changes to the TSs are provided for information only in Attachment IV.

Discovering no offsite power to one train of the onsite Class 1 E Electrical Power Distribution System coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the other train that has offsite power, results in starting the Completion Times for the Required Action. Twenty-four hours is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.

The remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to Train A and Train B of the onsite Class 1 E Distribution System. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the component OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature.

A.3 According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue in Condition A for a period that should not exceed 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. With one offsite circuit inoperable, the reliability of the offsite system is degraded, and the potential for a loss of offsite power is increased, with attendant potential for a challenge to the unit safety systems. In this Condition, however, the remaining OPERABLE offsite circuit and DGs are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Class 1 E Distribution System.

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

The second Completion Time for Required Action A.3 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. If Condition A is entered while, for instance, a DG is inoperable and that DG is subsequently returned OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

Tracking the 6 day Completion Time is a requirement for beginning the Completion Time "clock" that is in addition to the normal Completion Time requirements. With respect to the 6 day Completion Time, the "time zero" is specified as beginning at the time LCO 3.8.1 was initially not met, Instead of at the time Condition A was entered. This results In the requirement, when In this Condition, to track the time elapsed from both the Condition A "time zero," and the "time zero" when LCO 3.8.1 was initially not met.

Refer to Section 1.3, "Completion Times," for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO portion of the Completion Time.

I The Completion Time Is modified by a Note. The Note modifies the Completion Time and allows 10 days from discovery of failure to meet the LCO during the use of the 7 day Completion Time In Required Action B.4.2.2.

The 10 day Completion rime specified In the Note establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to be Inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. If Condition A Is entered while, for instance, a DG is inoperable using the 7 day Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2 and that DG is subsequently restored OPERABLE, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 7 days. This could lead to a total of 10 days since Initial failure to meet the LCO, to restore the offsite circuit. At this time, a DG could again become Inoperable and an additional 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO.

This limits the time the plant can alternate between Conditions A, B, and D (see Completion Time Example 1.3-3).

Tracking the 10 day Completion Time is a requirement for beginning the Completion Time "clock" that is in addition to the normal Completion Time requirements. With respect to the 10 day Completion Time, the "time zero" is specified as beginning at the time LCO 3.8.1 was initially not met, instead of at the time Condition A was entered. This results in the requirement, when In this Condition, to track the time elapsed from both the Condition A "time zero," and the "time zero" when LCO 3.8.1 was initially not met.

Refer to Section 1.3, "Completion Times," for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet tthe LCO portion of the Completion Time."

B.1 To ensure a highly reliable power source remains with an inoperable DG, it is necessary to verify the availability of the offsite circuits on a more frequent basis. Since the Required Action only specifies "perform," a failure of SR 3.8.1.1 acceptance criteria does not result in a Required Action being not met. However, if a circuit fails to pass SR 3.8.1.1, it is inoperable. Upon offsite circuit inoperability, additional Conditions and Required Actions must then be entered.

B.2 Required Action B.2 is intended to provide assurance that a loss of offsite power, during the period that a DG is inoperable, does not result in a complete loss of safety function of critical systems. These features are designed with redundant safety related trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps. Single train systems, other than the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump, are not included in this Condition. A Note is added to this Required Action stating that in MODES 1, 2, and 3, the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump is considered a required redundant feature. The reason for the Note is to confirm the OPERABILITY of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump in this Condition, since the remaining OPERABLE motor driven auxiliary feedwater pump is not by itself capable of providing 100% of the auxiliary feedwater flow assumed in the safety analysis. Redundant required feature failures consist of inoperable features associated with a train, redundant to the train that has an inoperable DG.

Wolf Creek - Unit 1 B 3.8.1-8 Revision 0.

Attachment IV to ET 05-0025 AC Sources - Operating Page 5 of 15 B 3.8.1 BASES ACTIONS B.2 (continued)

The Completion Time for Required Action B.2 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal "time zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock." In this Required Action, the Completion Time only begins on discovery that both:

a.

An inoperable DG exists; and

b.

A required feature on the other train (Train A or Train B) is inoperable and not in the safeguards position.

If at any time during the existence of this Condition (one DG inoperable) a required feature subsequently becomes inoperable, this Completion Time would begin to be tracked.

Discovering one required DG inoperable coincident with one or more inoperable required support or supported features, or both, that are associated with the OPERABLE DG, results in starting the Completion Time for the Required Action. Four hours from the discovery of these events existing concurrently is acceptable because it minimizes risk while allowing time for restoration before subjecting the unit to transients associated with shutdown.

In this Condition, the remaining OPERABLE DG and offsite circuits are adequate to supply electrical power to the onsite Class 1 E Distribution System. Thus, on a component basis, single failure protection for the required feature's function may have been lost; however, function has not been lost. The 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the OPERABILITY of the redundant counterpart to the inoperable required feature. Additionally, the 4 hour4.62963e-5 days <br />0.00111 hours <br />6.613757e-6 weeks <br />1.522e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

B.3.1 and B.3.2 Required Action B.3.1 provides an allowance to avoid unnecessary testing of OPERABLE DG. If it can be determined that the cause of the inoperable DG does not exist on the OPERABLE DG, SR 3.8.1.2 does not have to be performed. If the cause of inoperability exists on the other DG, it would be declared inoperable upon discovery and Condition E of LCO 3.8.1 would be entered. Once the failure is repaired, the common cause failure no longer exists, and Required Action B.3.1 is satisfied. If the cause of the initial inoperable DG cannot be confirmed not to exist on Wolf Creek - Unit 1 B 3.8.1-9 Revision 0

Required Action B.3.2 is modified by a Note stating that it is satisfied by the automatic start and sequence loading of the DG.

In the event the inoperable DG is restored to OPERABLE status prior to completing either B.3.1 or B.3.2, the plant corrective action program will continue to evaluate the common cause possibility. This continued evaluation, however, is no longer under the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> constraint imposed while in Condition B.

With respect to the 6 day Completion Time, the "time zero" Is specified as beginning at the time LCO 3.8.1 was initially not met, instead of at the time Condition B was entered. This results in the requirement, when in this Condition, to track the time elapsed from both the Condition B "time zero," and the "time zero" when LCO 3.8.1 was Initially not met.

Refer to Section 1.3, "Completion Times," for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO portion of the Completion Time."

The Required Actions are modified by a Note that states that Required Actions B.4.2.1 and B.4.2.2 are only applicable for voluntary planned maintenance and may be used once per cycle per DG. Required Actions B.4.2.1 and B.4.2.2 only applies when a DG Is declared or rendered inoperable for the performance of voluntary, planned maintenance activities. Required Action B.4.2.1 provides assurance that the required Sharpe Station gensets are available when a DG is out of service for greater than 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.

1. and B.4.2.

(continued)

The 7-day Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2 is a risk-informed allowed outage time (AOT) based on a plant-specific risk analysis (Ref. 15). The Completion Time was established on the assumption that it would be used only for voluntary planned maintenance, inspections and testing. Use of Required Actions B.4.2.1 and B.4.2.2 are limited to once within an operating cycle (18 months) for each DG. Administrative controls applied during use of Required Action 8.4.2.2 for voluntary planned maintenance activities ensure or require that:

a.

Weather conditions are conducive to an extended DG Completion Time. The extended DG Completion Time applies during the period of September 6 through April 22.

b.

The offsite power supply and switchyard condition are conducive to an extended DG Completion Time, which includes ensuring that switchyard access is restricted and no elective maintenance within the switchyard Is performed that would challenge offsite power availability.

c.

Prior to relying on the required Sharpe Station gensets, the gensets are started and proper operation verified (i.e., the gensets reach rated speed and voltage). The Sharpe Station is not required to be operating the duration of the allowed outage time of the DG, however, it shall be capable of providing greater than 8 MW power to a dead bus (station blackout conditions) to power I ESF train.

d.

No equipment or systems assumed to be available for supporting the extended DG Completion Time are removed from service. The equipment or systems assumed to be available (including required support systems, i.e., associated room coolers, etc.) are as follows:

Auxiliary Feedwater System (three trains)

Component Cooling Water System (both trains and all four pumps)

\\

• Essential Service Water System (both trains)

Emergency Core Cooling System (two trains).

If, while Required Action B.4.2.2 Is being used, one (or more) of the above systems or components Is determined or discovered to be inoperable, or If an emergent condition affecting DG OPERABILITY is Identified, re-entry Into Required Action B.2 and B.3 would be required, as applicable. In addition, the effect on plant risk would be assessed and any additional or compensatory actions taken, In accordance with the plant's program for implementation of 10 CFR 50.65(a)(4). The 7-day Completion Time would remain in effect for the DG if Required Action B.2 and B.3 are satisfied.

The second Completion Time specified in Required Action B.4.2.2 establishes a limit on the maximum time allowed for any combination of required AC power sources to be inoperable during any single contiguous occurrence of failing to meet the LCO. If Condition B Is entered while, for instance, an offsite circuit Is inoperable, the LCO may already have been not met for up to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />. If the offsite circuit is restored to OPERABLE status within the required 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />, this could lead to a total of 10 days since Initial failure to meet the LCO, to restore compliance with the LCO (i.e., restore the DG). At this time, an offsite circuit could again become inoperable and an additional 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> allowed prior to complete restoration of the LCO. The 10 day Completion Time provides a limit on time allowed in a specified condition after discovery of failure to meet the LCO. Although highly unlikely, this could occur indefinitely If not limited. This limit Is considered reasonable for situations in which Conditions A and B are entered concurrently. This limits the time the plant can alternate between Conditions A, B, and E (see Example 1.3-3).

Tracking the 10 day Completion Time Is a requirement for beginning the Completion Time "clock" that Is In addition to the normal Completion Time requirements. With respect to the 10 day Completion Time, the "time zero" is specified as beginning at the time LCO 3.8.1 was Initially not met, instead of at the time Condition B was entered. This results In the requirement, when In this Condition, to track the time elapsed from both the Condition B "time zero," and the "time zero" when LCO 3.8.1 was Initially not met.

Refer to Section 1.3, "Completion Times," for a more detailed discussion of the purpose of the "from discovery of failure to meet the LCO portion of the Completion Time."

The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time begins upon entry Into Condition C. However, the total time to restore an inoperable DG cannot exceed 7 days (per the Completion Time of Required Action B.4.2.2).

The Completion Time of 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> is consistent with Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6). The 72 hour8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br /> Completion Time takes Into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and low probability of a DBA occurring (oh and9 Required Actionr@C

, which applies when two offsite circuits are inoperable, is intended to provide assurance that an event with a coincident single failure will not result in a complete loss of redundant required safety functions. The Completion Time for this failure of redundant required features is reduced to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> from that allowed for one train without offsite power (Required Action A.2). The rationale for the reduction to 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is that Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6) allows a Completion Time of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> for two required offsite circuits inoperable, based upon the assumption that two complete safety trains are OPERABLE. When a concurrent redundant required feature failure exists, this assumption is not the case, and a shorter Completion Time of 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> is appropriate. These features are powered from redundant AC safety trains. This includes motor driven auxiliary feedwater pumps and the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump which must be available for mitigation of a feedwater line break. Single train features, other than the turbine driven auxiliary pump, are not included in this Condition. A Note is added to this Required Action stating that in MODES 1, 2, and 3, the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump is considered a required redundant feature. The reason for the Note is to confirm the OPERABILITY of the turbine driven auxiliary feedwater pump in this Condition, since the remaining OPERABLE motor driven auxiliary feedwater pump is not by itself capable of providing 100% of the auxiliary feedwater flow assumed in the safety analysis.

The Completion Time for Required Action1 is intended to allow the operator time to evaluate and repair any discovered inoperabilities. This Completion Time also allows for an exception to the normal utime zero" for beginning the allowed outage time "clock."

a.

All required offsite circuits are inoperable; and

b.

A required feature is inoperable and not in the safeguards position.

If at any time during the existence of Condition Dtwo offsite circuits inoperable) a required feature becomes inoperable, this Completion Time begins to be tracked.

According t Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue in Conditior%)for a period that should not exceed 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. This level of degradation means that the offsite electrical power system does not have the capability to effect a safe shutdown and to mitigate the effects of an accident; however, the onsite AC sources have not been degraded. This level of degradation generally corresponds to a total loss of the immediately accessible offsite power sources.

Because of the normally high availability of the offsite sources, this level of degradation may appear to be more severe than other combinations of two AC sources inoperable that involve one or more DGs inoperable.

However, two factors tend to decrease the severity of this level of degradation:

a.

The configuration of the redundant AC electrical power system that remains available is not susceptible to a single bus or switching failure; and

b.

The time required to detect and restore an unavailable offsite power source is generally much less than that required to detect and restore an unavailable onsite AC source.

With both of the required offsite circuits inoperable, sufficient onsite AC sources are available to maintain the unit in a safe shutdown condition in the event of a DBA or transient. In fact, a simultaneous loss of offsite AC sources, a LOCA, and a worst case single failure were postulated as a part of the design basis in the safety analysis. Thus, the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> Completion Time provides a period of time to effect restoration of one of the offsite circuits commensurate with the importance of maintaining an AC electrical power system capable of meeting its design criteria.

According to Reference 6, with the available offsite AC sources, two less than required by the LCO, operation may continue for 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />. If two offsite sources are restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, unrestricted operation may continue. If only one offsite source is restored within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br />, power operation continues in accordance with Condition A.

I anda2 Pursuant to LCO 3.0.6, the Distribution System ACTIONS would not be entered even if all AC sources to it were inoperable, resultingin de -

energization. Therefore, the Required Actions of Conditionepare modified by a Note to indicate that when Condition& is entered with no AC source to any given train (i.e., to Train A or Train ), the Conditions and Required Actions for LCO 3.8.9, "Distribution Systems - Operating,"

must be immediately entered. This allows Condition D to provide requirements for the loss of one offsite circuit and one DG, without regard to whether a train is de-energized. LCO 3.8.9 provides the appropriate restrictions for a de-energized train.

According to Regulatory Guide 1.93 (Ref. 6), operation may continue in Conditionefor a period that should not exceed 12 hours1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br />.

In ConditionQ individual redundancy is lost in both the offsite electrical power system and the onsite AC electrical power system. Since power system redundancy is provided by two diverse sources of power, however, the reliability of the p~wer systems in this Condition may appear higher than that in Condition D(loss of both required offsite circuits).

This difference in reliability isoset by the susceptibility of this power system configuration to a single bus or switching failure. The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time takes into account the capacity and capability of the remaining AC sources, a reasonable time for repairs, and the low probability of a DBA occurring during this period.

With Train A and Train B DGs inoperable, there are no remaining standby AC sources. Thus, with an assumed loss of offsite electrical power, insufficient standby AC sources are available to power the minimum required ESF functions. Since the offsite electrical power system is the only source of AC power for this level of degradation, the risk associated with continued operation for a very short time could be less than that associated with an immediate controlled shutdown (the immediate shutdown could cause grid instability, which could result in a total loss of AC power). Since any inadvertent generator trip could also result in a total loss of offsite AC power, however, the time allowed for continued operation is severely restricted. The intent here is to avoid the risk associated with an immediate controlled shutdown and to minimize the risk associated with this level of degradation.

According to Reference 6, with both DGs inoperable, operation may continue for a period that should not exceed 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br />.

Required Action&t1 provides assurance that the appropriate Action is entered for the affected DG and offsite circuit if its associated LSELS becomes inoperable. An LSELS failure results in the inability of the EDG to start upon a loss of ESF bus voltage or degraded voltage condition.

Additionally, LSELS trips the ESF bus normal and alternate feeder supplies and trips non-essential loads. A sequencer failure results in the inability to start all or part of the safety loads powered from the associated ESF bus and thus when an LSELS is inoperable it is appropriate to immediately enter the Conditions for an inoperable DG and offsite circuit.

Because an inoperable LSELS affects all or part of the safety loads, an immediate Completion Time is appropriate.

The LSELS is an essential support system to both the offsite circuit and the DG associated with a given ESF bus. Furthermore, the sequencer is on the primary success path for most major AC electrically powered safety systems powered from the associated ESF bus. Therefore, loss of an ESF bus sequencer affects every major ESF system in the division. The 12 hour1.388889e-4 days <br />0.00333 hours <br />1.984127e-5 weeks <br />4.566e-6 months <br /> Completion Time of Required Action G.Pprovides a period of time to correct the problem commensurate with the importance of maintaining sequencer OPERABILITY. This time period also ensures that the probability of an accident (requiring sequencer OPERABILITY) occurring during periods when the sequencer is inoperable is minimal.

Conditionecorresponds to a level of degradation in which all redundancy in the AC electrical power supplies has been lost. At this severely degraded level, any further losses in the AC electrical power system will cause a loss of function. Therefore, no additional time is justified for continued operation. The unit is required by LCO 3.0.3 to commence a controlled shutdown.
