Docket 50-206 Generic Letter 83-28 Item 1.2 - Post Trip Review:
Data and Information Capabilities San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station Unit 1
Reference:
September 3, 1985 letter from J. A. Zwolinski, NRC, to K. P. Baskin, SCE, regarding the subject topic The referenced letter provided the results of the staff's preliminary review of and resulting staff questions concerning the subject item. A discussion was held between NRC staff and SCE to determine if the existing data and information capabilities meet the intent of the staff's criteria for Post-Trip Review. As a result of this discussion, staff reviewers identified the need to review the control room Events Recorder technical manuals and a copy of the recorder strip chart following an actual reactor trip. This information is provided as an enclosure to this letter.
The staff reviewers also requested an explanation of the high speed operation of the Events Recorder strip chart.
Our letter of November 28, 1983 indicated that on receipt of a trip signal the Events Recorder automatically enters a high speed mode of operation in which the strip chart is advanced at 3600 times the normal speed for ten seconds. Subsequent review of the strip chart operation has indicated the chart will advance at 3600 times normal speed (3/4 inch/sec versus 3/4 inch/hr) for 24 seconds, which is equivalent to a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period of normal speed operation.

P rinciple of Operation 0TA Simplicity is the key to the exceptionally long life and trouble-free service users have come to expect from Esterline Angus Event Recorders.
This simplicity is clearly illustrated in the drawing to the right. Writing elements are deflected by electro magnets which can be rated for operation on prac tically any AC or DC voltage from 2 to 250.
When an electromagnet is energized, its armature moves, causing the operating lever to move. This, in turn, moves the writing pen or inkless writing element 1/10 inch off of its continuous line.
The pen or inkless writing element remains deflected until the magnet is de-energized. This lateral deflec tion, coupled with the continuous record of all Ester line Angus Event Recorders, makes charts easier to know not only that an event has occurred, but also read than those produced by any other event recorder.
when it occurred how long it lasted and how fre When you analyze an Event Recorder chart, you quently it happened.
Writing Methods Inkless Event Recorders employ electrically heated styluses to produce records on non-wax finish chart paper, which is virtually impervious to external heat, rough handling or discoloration from light.
An independent power supply is required for heating styluses. This circuit can be rated 120 or 240 volts, 50 or 60 Hz. A rheostat adjusts stylus heat to control the width of the recorded line.
All pens on Ink Event Recorders are served from an enclosed ink reservoir which also mechanically sup Shown above are two more reasons for Esterline Angus Event Recorder superiority In ports and aligns the pens.

This type of recorder is Power ideal for load studies in a telephone exchange or for studies of elevator scheduling. On portable instru ments, separate circuits are often specified to eliminate ithe need for determining polarity.
To play safe, some users employ separate circuits recorders when they make connections directly across motor terminals. On common return instruments, one terminal of the motor is always connected through one of the instrument's coils to the "common" side of the voltage source.

You Can Obtain tiree pes of Records LI 4.4; fTI Jirur'ff Rectangular Record-A majority of Event Recorder charts look like the one above The open rectangles reveal the times during which electromagnets were energized; that is, the times during which events occurred. When the events were no longer taking place the electromagnets were de-energized and the writing elements returned to their base lines. Telephone studies, circuit breaker operation, elevator movements and chemical ocess supervising often produce records such as these..
Band Record-This type of record (above right) is produced by rapidly opening and closing contactors. usually those connected to reciprocating or rotating machines, Chart speed and method of actuation are chosen so the writing elemnents produce overlapping marks, The bold band contrasts sharply with the single straght line drawn when the machines were not running.
Impulse Record-When the writing element is energized only momentarily, its return stroke falls on almost the he implace as the active stroke. This produces a single cross wise mark (right). This type of record is valuable for counting objects on a conveyor, s vehicles on a highway or billets coming from a furnace.
Combination Record (not illustrated)-Any combination ofdce three types of records can be obtained in a single recorder simply by making proper selection of actuating devices.
Counters and Totalizers Counters, totalizers or both can be added in parallel to each electromagnet in either Common Return or Separate Circuits Event Recorders.
Counters are most often employed -with Esterline Angus Event Recorders in plants where it is desirable to have a count of events such as the opening and closing of hydraulic presses, plastic molding machines and casting machines.
Time totalizers or hour counters find extensive use in operations such as electric arc welding. They reveal how many productive hours of welding are accom plished in a given period of time.
Mounted in an Esterline Angus twin case, this instrument includes an Event Recorder to the right, plus counters and elapsed time indicators to the left. The five digit reset counters are mounted above the non-reset elapsed time indicators.

--mar-r tarn Rectangular Record-A majority of Event Recorder charts look like the one above.
The open rectangles reveal the times during which electromagnets were energized; that is, the times during which avents cocurmd ihen the events were no longer taking piace..
the electromagnets were d6-energized and tre writing elements returned to then base Ines. Telephone studies, circuit breaker operation, elevator movements and chemical process supervising often produce records such as these.
Band Record-This type of record (above right) is produced by rapidly opening and closing contactors, usually those connected to reciprocating or rotating machines. Chart speed and method'of actuation are chosen so the writing elements produce overlapping marks. The bold band contrasts sharply with the single straight line drawn when the machines were not running.
Impulse Record-When the writing element is energized only momentarily, its return stroke falls on almost the same place as the active stroke. This produces a single cross-wise mark (right). This type of record is valuable for counting objects on a conveyor.
vehicles on a highway or billets coming from a furnace.
Combination Record (not illustrated)-Any combination of the three types of records can be obtained in a single recorder simply by making proper selection of actuating devices.
