The Engineered Safety Feature (ESF)
System employed at the Donald C.
Cook Nuclear Plant uses charcoal adsorber cells manufactured by the American Air Filter Company.
This particular design utilizes spot welds that are located from 4 to 2 inches apart around the entire periphery of the perforated screen to secure it to the cell casing.
Thus, the rivet spacing problem discovered at the Sequoyah Nuclear Plant does not apply at our facility.
In accordance with IE Bulletin 80-03, a complete visual inspection of all (installed and spare) accessible cells was performed.
Cells located in the Containment Filter Train (CFT) units were not inspected due to high radiation levels.
These cells will be inspected during scheduled outages at a later date.
The procedure used to determine cell condition is that described in Section 5 of ANSI N510-1975, and consisted of a visual inspection of adsorbers for the following:
a.
Individual Clamping b.
Condition of Clamping Devices c.
Condition of Gaskets d.
Damage to cells including burns from welding or cutting operations in housing The inspection revealed no evidence of defective cells or any casing-screen separations.
