SUBJECT:

HATCH UNITS 1 and 2 - ALTERNATE OFFSITE SOURCE INTERLOCK WITH EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATORS

Reference:

(1) IE Daily Report dated April 6, 1981 The licensee, while performing a relay trip procedure at Hatch 1, identified that the undervoltage relays of the second offsite source would not operate.

The relays are designated " Transformer 1C UV relays 27-1 and 27-2."

(see attached logic diagram). Transformer 1C is the alternate offsite source to the safety-related buses.

The design of the station safety-related electrical system is such that on loss of the primary offsite source (monitored by UV relays 27-3,.27-4, 27-5, and 27-6 on each safety bus) the diesel generators are started and the safety buses seek the alternate offsite source -- transformer 1C.

If this offsite source is unavailable (as seen by the operation of UV relays 27-1 and 27-2), then the DG breakers are closed to energize the safety buses.

The UV relays 27-3 through 27-6 that monitor the voltage of each safety bus are designated as Class lE equipment -- a set of four is provided for each bus.

The UV relays 27-1 and 27-2, however, are not designated Class lE and only one pair is provided for all the safety buses. On April 6, 1981 during the trip procedure, relays 27-1 and 27-2 did not operate, thus preventing the closure of all the DG breakers on Unit 1.

The design is the same for Unit 2.

The li; see will be proposing a design modification to correct the problem of the non-Class lE interlock that prevents the automatic operation of safety systems. ORAB/NRR is presently pursuing this matter. Other than keeping ou selves informed of the resolution of the design problem, we do not antic' ate any further AE0D action.
