The following is a summary of information received via fax:
UCI [United Controls International] personnel witnessed system level functional testing of three [Modulation Index Control] MIC circuit boards in a spare unit on March 9-10, 2010 at the PSEG Nuclear LLC training center as part of the dedication process. Initially, the boards were accepted based on the test results but later irregularities were noticed on the output side of another card (reference oscillator) in the system. The Original Equipment Manufacture (Thomas & Betts) began troubleshooting the issue and determined that two resistors (R336 and R347) had one leg each terminated in the wrong location. Subsequent repair and testing confirmed this to be the issue and that once corrected, the irregularities were gone.
