NATURAL GAS FUEL SOURCECMS Region 5 Release (5/29/2009)
“If a facility uses a natural gas generator to provide backup power to LSC required systems (i.e., emergency lights, exit lights, fire alarm system, etc.), the facility may obtain a letter from its natural gas vendor to demonstrate the fuel source is reliable and to meet the requirements for an on-site backup power source.
The letter of reliability from the vendor regarding the fuel supply must contain all of the following:1. A statement of reasonable reliability of the natural gas delivery 2. A brief description that supports the statement regarding the
reliability 3. A statement that there is a low probability of interruption of the
natural gas 4. A brief description that supports the statement regarding the
low probability of interruption 5. The signature of technical personnel from the natural gas
vendor “
