IN 86-02 January 6, 1986 Discussion:
Limitorque Corporation has used Reliance medium and large (180 frame and larger)
ac motors, with magnesium alloy as-a standard rotor material, in its operators, for many years. Although all specific applications and affected power plants
could not be identified, Limitorque has concluded that all domestic nuclear
power facilities, using Limitorque actuators, would have several motors in
180-frame size and larger containing magnesium alloy rotors. The magnesium
alloy rotors have been primarily used where high-torque, high horsepower, fast-acting motors are required. Reliance Motor Corporation has stated that, while they are reviewing possible design changes to prevent corrosion of the
rotor in high temperature steam environments, there are no existing rotors
available to replace the magnesium alloy components and retain the same motor
characteristics.
General Electric has reviewed the BWR applications and has provided recommended
action via Service Information Letter No. 425 (July 17, 1985). In summary, GE
recommends that licensees determine the plant-specific applications of magnesi- um motors subject to harsh environment, the adequacy of long-term cooling could
be evaluated assuming failure of the magnesium rotor MOVs a few days after the
DBE. Some systems may allow for the operator to position the valve to its safety
position immediately following the DBE instead of waiting for automatic actuation, while other systems may require realignment to a standby mode after initial core
cooling. In addition to operator training, it may be prudent to disconnect some
.-of_the_valve-actuation logic followingsafety positioning to prevent valve _
realignment without operator initiation. Other corrective actions may be
appropriate for specific applications.
PWR owners may wish to review their Limitorque MOV qualification packages in
light of this new information. If the review determines that the equipment may
not be qualified for its intended use then they may wish to consider taking
action, as recommended by GE for BWRs and as described above, to mitigate the
potential for long-term core cooling problems caused by motor-operated valve
(MOV) failures in the days following a DBE.
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.
