Title	Part 21 Notification - Allen Bradley 700Rtc Relay Configuration
Event Description	This is a non-emergency notification, required by 10 CFR 21.21(d)(3)(i). Brunswick has determined that Allen Bradley relays, base model 700RTC, contain an unevaluated Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD). This was an unpublished design change that was implemented to replace an obsolete integrated circuit chip. The undocumented design change did not result in a part number change from Allen Bradley. There was no change to the external appearance of the relay that would indicate that a design change had been made to the relay configuration. Therefore, qualification/dedication of the modified relays have not included additional testing for the new CPLD component. Testing, performed by Duke Energy, has demonstrated that this CPLD can be affected by electrical noise from operation of nearby relays which can reset the timing of the relay. This condition was discovered as a result of a post-maintenance test of an emergency diesel generator. Additional details associated with the discovery of this condition are contained in Brunswick Licensee Event Report 1-2015-002, dated May 20, 2015. Brunswick purchased, as commercial grade, 25 of the modified Allen Bradley 700RTC relays beginning in October, 2008. Duke Energy dedicated these relays for use in safety related applications at Brunswick. The dedicated relays were not provided to any third party customers. The NRC Senior Resident Inspector has been notified. Brunswick has taken applicable compensatory measures to insure no equipment is inoperable because of these relays. This problem was previously reported by AZZ/NLI Nuclear Logistics, Inc. in EN #51030.
