1.1 General
This document defines the criteria for the application and testing of diesel generator
( DG ) units used as safety class standby power supplies in nuclear facilities. In general, the standard applies to new nuclear facilities
as well as for upgrading or back-fitting of existing facilities. Existing facilities
can voluntarily adopt the requirements to enhance the performance capabilities and
reliability of the installed DG units. The standard can be used in applications where highly reliable onsite alternating
current ( AC ) power source is required to maintain plant safety following an event with potential
loss of offsite power for an extended duration.
This document provides the principal design criteria, the design features, testing,
and qualification requirements for the individual DG units that enable them to meet their functional requirements as a part of the standby power supply under the conditions produced by the design basis events cataloged in the plant safety analysis.
Figure 1 shows the boundaries of systems and equipment included in the scope of this document.
The following items are within the scope of this document:
