INTERIM EVAL OF DEVIATION PART-21 NOTIFICATION - SENSE AND TRANSFER MODULE RESISTIVE SHORT The following excerpted report was received via e-mail:
"Sense & Transfer Module (part number 41-09-339904) was provided to PSEG under purchase order 4500726553. The customer identified an abnormal curve trace (resistive short) on the integrated circuit installed at location IC825 pin 6 on this printed circuit board. The customer performed an evaluation which included dissection of the subject IC [integrated circuit] however, this dissection provided inconclusive results as to the cause of the IC anomaly.
"At this time, UCI requires additional time to evaluate the results provided by PSEG and to work with the manufacturer in identifying the root cause. UCI currently considers this issue to be an isolated event as no previous instances of this failure have been observed by UCI to date. PSEG has returned the item to UCI for evaluation and rework [received by UCI on 3/25/2015].
"If you have any questions or wish to discuss this matter or this report, please contact:

UNITED CONTROLS INTERNATIONAL 10CFR21 FOLLOW UP LETTER March 22, 2016 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Document Control Desk Washington D.C. 20555-0001
Subject:
1 OCFR21 Follow Up Letter for Event# 50935, United Controls International Not Capable to Complete Part 21 Evaluation & Correction of Reported Information The purpose of this letter is to follow up on Event# 50935 previously reported by United Controls International (UCI) as requiring additional evaluation time and to correct purchase order information previously reported to the NRC with a report in general conformity of the requirements of 10CFR Part 21.21. On January 30, 2015 United Controls International issued a Return Material Authorization (RMA) request to Public Service Electric & Gas (PSEG). The RMA was issued to request the return of a Sense & Transfer Module of part number 41 339904 that was provided to PSEG under purchase order 4500172211. The customer identified an abnormal curve trace (resistive short) on the Integrated Circuit (IC) installed at location IC825 pin 6 on this printed circuit board. The customer performed an evaluation which included dissection of the subject IC, however, this dissection provided inconclusive results as to the cause of the IC anomaly.
UCI is not capable of performing additional evaluation of this item because evaluation of the suspect IC by the customer resulted in inconclusive results and during this inspection the suspect IC was destroyed; thus, further evaluation of this component could not be performed. The manufacturer (Thomas & Betts Power Solutions) was unable to provide additional details regarding the failure of the subject IC. UCI considers this issue to be an isolated event as no previous instances of this failure have been observed by UCI to date. PSEG has returned the item to UCI for evaluation and rework.
UC1 notified PSEG on January 30, 2015 that the subject Sense & Transfer Module needed to be returned.
Required information as per 10CFR Part 21.21(d)(4) follows:
