SSINS No.: 6835 IN 85-63 UNITED STATES
NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
OFFICE OF INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 July, 25, 1985 IE INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 85-63: POTENTIAL FOR COMMON-MODE FAILURE OF STANDBY
GAS TREATMENT SYSTEM ON LOSS OF OFF-SITE
POWER
Addressees
All-nuclear power reactor facilities holding an operating license (OL) or a
construction permit (CP).
Purpose
This information notice is being provided as a notification of a potentially
significant problem pertaining to the standby gas treatment system (SBGT).
This problem could result in the loss of all SBGT trains following a loss of
all off-site power. This supplements information provided in IE Information
Notices 83-25 and 84-81 on other SBGT problems. It is expected that recipients
will review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider
actions, if appropriate, to preclude a similar problem from occurring at their
facilities. However, suggestions contained in this information notice do not
constitute NRC requirements; therefore, no specific action or written response
is required.
Description of Circumstances
On May 14, 1985, Carolina Power and Light (CP&L) reported a logic design error
in the SBGT at Brunswick 1 and 2 which would result in the inoperability (i.e.,
failure to automatically start) of both trains of the system following a loss
of off-site power. Design of Brunswick's SBGT requires automatic initiation
when any of the following signals are received: high radiation in the reactor
building ventilation exhaust, high pressure in the drywell, or low reactor
water level. The system is designed to operate from either on-site or off-site
power sources. However, because of a design error, the instrument that senses
the SBGT heater temperature deenergizes a relay on loss of off-site power, seals in the signal, and prevents automatic initiation of SBGT until manually
reset.
At Brunswick, indications and reset are available in the control room. CP&L is
considering a modification to the circuit to install a time-delay relay to
allow time for the system to switch to on-site power. This effectively pro- vides automatic reset for situations where a cause for lockout does not exist.
8507230389
IN 85-63 July 25, 1985 Discussion:
The signals that trip SBGT are unique to each plant; however, automatic lock- outs are generally associated with the electric heaters. The events described
in IE Information Notices 83-25 and 84-81 provide examples where heater trips
have locked out systems and rendered them inoperable. Based on a review of
several licensee event reports, it appears that this design feature is fairly
common.
For designs such as Brunswick, with indication and reset in the control room, the operators might be able to diagnose and correct a problem. If indication
and reset are not available in the control room, significant difficulties might
be encountered if an accident requiring filtration were accompanied by a loss
of off-site power. In either event, however, the requirement for automatic
start generally necessitates the ability to start automatically even after a
loss of off-site power.
No specific action or written response is required by this information notice.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact the Regional
Administrator of the appropriate regional office or this office.
