Dear Mr. Grier:

NRC IE BULLETIN NO. 78-05 MALFUNCTION OF CIRCUIT BREAKER AUXILIARY May 24, 1978 CONTACT MECHANISM -

GENERAL ELECTRIC MODEL CR105X NO. 1 AND 2 UNITS SALEM GENERATING STA:TI ON In reply to IE Bulletin 78-05 dated April 14, 1978, we offer the following response:

Our review of the design of Salem Units No. 1 and 2 indicates that no General Electric Series CR105X auxiliary contacts are usedo Both Salem units utilize General Electric Series CR200 auxiliary contacts.

This latter series does not employ a plunger arm mech-anism, which caused the problem ~ith the CRlOO series.

Should additional information be desired, we ~ill be pleased to further discuss it with you.
