I, Naaber and Locatipn of S3milnr Components At the Trojan Nuclear Plant, the RHR pumps, P-202 A & 15, are the only other itumps similar to the containment spray pumps.

These putaps ve ri-3 spplied by the scrae canuf acturer and originally had a sluilar locknut d.mipu.

In l'!76, the locking acchanis:n for the PJIR pomp impellers "ns eMified af ter it war, discovered that one Jocknut had loosenad.

'1 h a r:muf ac turer belicves that the not. Icosened as a result of improper installa ti on and that the Rl!R pumps cay be more susceptible to lockant iouseaing thTn the contain: tent opray pumps due to a faster eno;t.dcua.
