S UBJE CT: Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Unit Nos.1 and 2, 10CFR50.55(e) reportable deficiency in the Temperature Channel Test (NTC) card purchased under the NSSS contract with Westinghouse, Purchase Order NY-435002, Shop Order 320.

ITEM: Westinghouse 7300 Process Protection System NTC Card Relay.

SUPPLIED BY: Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Industry Systems Division, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

NATURE OF DEFICIENCY: During seismic testing of the Temperature Channel Test (NTC) card, contact bounce was experienced in the mercury relay utilized on this card.

DATE PROBLEM OCCUR RED: CP&L received notice of this problem in Westinghouse Letter CQL-7451 on June 23, 1983.

DATE PROBLEM REPORTED: June 30,1983, CP&L (N. J. Chiangi) notified the NRC (A. Hardin) that this item was reportable per the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).

SCOPE OF PROBLEM: The deficiency involves a total of 44 NTC relay cards for Units 1 and 2.

SAFETY IMPLICATION: In te rmi ttent contact bounce of the NTC card may result in signal saturgtion of {he downstream RTD amplifier (NRA) card in the hot and cold circuits of the W estinghouse 7300 process protection system. This could result in a delay in the initiation of the overtemperature - Delta T and overpower - Delta T reactor trips.

REASON DEFICIENCY IS REPORTABLE: This item is reportable because these reactor trip delays i could delay or prevent safe shutdown of the plant when required.

a Q

o CORRECTIVE ACTION: Westinghouse will replace these NTC relay cards by June 31, 1984.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURES: Westinghouse will perform qualification testing of ITIC cards to determine the appropriate relay that will have the necessary seismic performance.

FINAL REPORT: A final report is expected by January 1,1985.
