1.0 INTRODUCTION

This report documents the results of the Sneak Circuit Analysis performed on the Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer cabinet electronics developed by Automation Industries, Inc.,

  • Vitro Laboratories Division. This system was analyzed by the Boeing Aero-space Company under Purchase Order Number Q283455 for the South Carolina Electric & Gas Company. The purposes of this report are to: 1) define the scope of the analysis, 2) describe the general procedures used to de-tect sneak conditions, 3) document the accumulated results of the Sneak Analysis, and 4) show resolution of those items reported as part of the analysis.

1.1 Background The technique of a formal, systematic sneak analysis was initially developed in 1967 by the Boeing Aerospace Company in Houston, Texas, under contract to NASA. The analysis was first applied to electrical circuits and systems found on the Apollo manned spacecraft. Investigations and studies of unexpected operations and erroneous responses in aircraft and missile systems revealed cases that were believed to have been sneak circuit conditions. It was noted that few operational problems were 1

found during the design and test phases and that the sneak circuits were hidden in the circuitry or in the system operations. Sneaks conditions were found to be latent in nature and not dependent on the failure of components, although many erronous responses or failures may have initially been attributed to component failures. The sneak analysis technique was extended to identify sneak conditions in software in 1971.  ;

D2-118698-1 2.0 SCOPE The Sneak Circuit Analysis was performed on the electrical system of the

~

Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station, Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer (ESFLS) to identify any potentially undesirable circuit conditions. This analysis was performed on'the ESFLS system as defined by the 'following- drawings:

3.0 TECHNICAL APPROACH

, The techniques of Sneak Circuit Analysis have been used to analyze various military, space, and commercial systems and are continuously updated to keep them current with today's technology These analysis techniques are discussed in the following sections.

2 y e- e -~- - -ms

02-118698-1 3.1 Input Data The data required to perform a sneak analysis are detailed schematics, wire lists, system interconnect diagrams, selected component values, and commercial part numbers cf system components. Pertinent data useful to the analyses

. are such items as Design Specifications, Operational Descriptions, Main-tenance Procedures, and any information describing the system and its relationship to its operating environment. Upon receipt of the above material, a file is established and the data reviewed for applicability to the analysis and to identify any additional data that may be required for performance of the task. These data are then used as a baseline for the analysis. Data used in the analysis of the ESFLS were supplied to the Boeing Aerospace Company by South Carolina Electric & Gas Company, and a list of these data is included in Appendix A of this document.

3.2 Network Trees The data from the detailed schematics are converted to network trees.

This conversion is accomplished by converting the data base to a format for computer processing. To this formatted data, the automated sneak programs are applied to produce network trees. A network tree is a topological representation of a small part of the electrical / electronic system being analyzed. A network tree usually defines a completed circuit function and is drawn to show the electrical power source at the top and electrical returns at the bottom with signal flow from left to right for each figure.

3.3 Analysis A set of " Sneak Clues" is applied to each network ee to identify potential sneak conditions. Additionally, each component is checked to verify that its application is within its manufacturer's specifications.

3 i l

02-118698-1 -

3.3 Analysis (Continued)

A sneak clue is an item from a Boeing-developed checklist that defines the criteria in topological circuit representations or logic types for the identification of possible sneak conditions.

Sneak conditions are typically classified into the following four categories:

e Sneak Path - may cause data or e ergy to flow along an unexpected path, e Sneak Timing - may cause data or energy to flow at an unexpected time.

e Sneak Indications - may cause failure or ambiguous indications of system operating conditions.

e Sneak Labels - may cause incorrect stimuli or operating constraints to be initiated through operator error.

When a suspected sneak is identified, the analyst is required to verify that it is valid. The circuit is checked against the latest applicable drawings and specifications, and available operational information is reviewed. Following sneak verification, a Sneak Circuit Report is written which includes an explanation, system level impact, and a recommendation for the elimination of the sneak.

Items of concern including unnecessary circuitry, significant single failure points, improper implementation of redundancy, or improper application of canponents are reported as Design Concerns.

4

D2-118698-1 ,

In addition, discrepancies of information presented on two or more documents or discrepancies within a single document are reported as Drawing Errors.

e The Sneak Circuit Reports, Design Concern Reports, and Drawing Error Reports are normally delivered as attachments to the scheduled activity reports.

4.0 REPORT STATUS TRACKING Each -eport which was generated as a result of the Sneak Circuit Analysis was listed on the Report Status Sheets. These reports were forwarded to South Carolina Electric & Gas Company for subsequent distribution to the appropriate vendor or subsection for review and resolution. Following review of each report, a resolution was written and routed back to the Boeing Aerospace Company through South Carolina Electric & Gas Company.

The resolutton was reviewed for any additional concerns that may have been introduced and to verify that the response did, in fact, satisfy the particular reported concern. At that time the particular report was closed.

Each report was listed as "open" until such time as 'a response to a reported concern provided the rationale for closing the report. This rationale consisted of: 1) notification that the problem was corrected, without

, inclusion of change paper, 2) review of revised documentation showing how the problem was corrected, or 3) review of information provided for

' closing the report by acceptance of the condition without making a change to the design or documentation.

5

D2-118698-1 4.0 REPORT STATUS TRACKING (continued)

Upon receipt of the rationale for disposition, the type of corrective action to "close" each report was shown on the proper status sheet and was categorized as follows:

HDW - A change has been made to the hardware.

. DOC - A change has been made to the documentation.

ACC - A decision that the reported condition is acceptable as is.

The status sheets are included in Appendices B, C, and D along with the appropriate reports.

5.0 RESULTS The analysis of the ESFLS resulted in four Sneak Circuit Reports, eight Design Concern Reports, and nine Drawing Error Reports. Each of these reports have been resolved and are included in Appendices B, C, and D, respectively.

A sumary of these reports is shown as follows according to problem category and closecut action:

Report Number Problem Category Closecut Action SCR-1 Sneak Path Drawing Change SCR-2 Sneak Indication Drawing Change SCR-3 Sneak Indication Drawing Change SCh-4 Sneak Indication Document Change  ;

DCR-1 Unnecessary Circuitry No Change DCR-2 Improper Use of Logic No Change DCR-3 Unnecessary Circuitry No Change DCR-4 Improper Use of Logic No Change DCR-5 Single Failure Point Document Change ,

6.0 CONCLUSION

S The Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer has been found to be free of sneak circuits, subject only to the restrictions of data representations upon which the analysis was based and within the con-text of resolution of each technical report contained herein. All analysis findings were reported and resolved in a responsive manner, leaving no residual concerns. With appropriate resolution of each technical report as provided herein by South Carolina Electric &

Gas Company, the system is considered to be of the highest integrity of electrical / electronic design.

Each techi.ical report contained in Appendices B, C, and D provides its own detailed or technical conclusion in the CUSTOMER ACTION section.

All of these concerns are considered to be satifactorily resolved. The analytical effort has served as a reminder that flaws in equipment labeling and wiring may result from drafting errors unless the flaws are detected in documentation reviews. Any significant functional flaws that escape detection in the reviews will usually be uncovered by system testing before operations begin. However, it is possible that, in particularly complex circuitry, some alscrepancies may be undetected from testing and traditional design reviews until Sneak Circuit Analysis is performed. This is part y because complex circuitry cannot always i

, be tested in all possible modes at both the system functional le/el and the component level. Furthermore, design redundancy provisions and 7

6.0 CONCLUSION

S (Continued) reserve capacities often automatically compensate to mask detection of component deficiencies. Tested functions will then appear to be valid and the system will operate as planned. At worst, degradation of margins and reserves can result from such situations. By independently address-ing these issues, Sneak Circuit Analysis helps to assure that full capability and reliability are realized in such complex systems as the Load Sequencer.

The Design Concern Reports (Appendix C) issued during the Sneak Circuit Analysis typically dealt with methods of enhancing circuit reliability and improving documentation for subsequent uses. Also, system charac-teristics which could degrade component performance, areas of noise susceptibility,and single failure points were highlighted. These reports were resplyed as reported in the CUSTOMER ACTION resolutions.

The Drawing Error Reports (Appendix D) disclosed documentation discrepancies or ambiguities that could perhaps impede any subsequent troubleshooting of equipment problems. None of the reported discrepancies were of the type that could lead to improper manufacture of the hardware. The drawings have been corrected for future reference during South Carolina Electric &

. Gas Company's maintenance activities. Likewise, the manufacturer has been notified of all reported conditions for incorporation into future

~

activities and design optimizations. The overall conclusion of the effort is to improve confidence in proper operation of the Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer as defined within the scope of the task.

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION As shown in Figure 1 and the referenced drawings, 115 VAC power is applied to XA3 pin 21 (."STEF 1") when contacts 6 & 9 of relay XK21 and contacts 1 & 2 of relay K16 are closed. As a result,115 VAC is provided to +15 VDC logic within the XA3 card at pin 12 (an input) of device U17 and at pin 8 (an output) of device U15. Application of 115 VAC to these devices will cause them to fail and will result in the loss of the " STEP 1" signal.

POTENTIAL IMPACT Component damage and loss of " STEP 1" signal caused by application of 115 VAC to +15 VDC digital logic .ircuitry.

RECOMMENDATION Disconnect XA3 pin 21 from contact ? of K16. Next, determine the appropriate external connection for XA3 pin 21 and provide the necessary wiring.

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION As indicated by Reference 1, a contact closure indicates to the Loading Sequencer that the" Diesel Generator Breaker"is closed. However, as indicated by Figure 1, an excerpt from Reference 2, when the contact indicating the status of the Diesel Generator Breaker is open, relay KX27 is deenergized. In this state a " LOGIC ONE" is applied to the set input and a " LOGIC 0" to the reset input of the NAND latch making up the " Diesel Generator Breaker Closed" Input to the ESF Loading Sequencer. With this input the " Diesel Generator Breaker Closed" Lamp, A3DS7, will be illuminated 3

and the " Diesel Generator Breaker Open" Lamp, A3DS8, will be off. When the contact indicating the status of the Diesel Generator Breaker is closed, the

" Diesel Generator Breaker Closed" Lamp will be off and the Diesel Generator Breaker Open" Lamp will be illuminated.

POTENTIAL IMPACT Possible false local indication of Diesel Generator Breaker status.

RECOMMENDATION Change the label on Lamp A3DS7 from "DG BKR CLOSED" to "DG BKR OPEN" and the label on Lamp A3DS8 from "DG BKR OPEN" T0 "DG BKR CLOSED" (See Figure 2).

. REPORTED BY J. L. Gallaway . Obb DATE 11/4/81 CUSTOMER ACTION Vitro considers this to be a drawing error and recommends correcting the wire connections on Reference 2.

MODULE / EQUIPMENT 1MS-28-096 EXPLANATION Within the subject drawing, no match can be found for bubble 260, "AT MEM RESET"; the only connection to this bubble is the reset of device U3B XA14 (MC663 JK-FF); see Figure 1. From the signal name at this bubble and from the U3B clock signal name, it is assumed that device U38 is part of the automatic test of STEP circuits.

However, since the reset line is unconnected, device U3B cannot function in conjunction with the periodic operation of the automatic test circuits.

POTENTIAL IMPACT The unconnected reset line of device U3B may inhibit test function.

RECOMMENDATION Connect the open reset line of device U3B to the appropriate circuitry.

. REPORTED BY P. Scarlato , q ,

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION In zones D-4 and C-4 of Reference 1, U18 and U19 are shown connected to U2 and U8 as shown in Figure 1. Also, Note 1 of Reference 1 states that Vcc is connected to pin 16 of U18 and U19. However, as indicated by References 2 and 3, U18 and U19 are Allen-Bradley 314A682 resistor networks 14 pin packages. It should also be noted that, on Reference 1, U18 implies a connection of U2, pin 9. If so, this would require U18 and U19 to be 16 pin packages. However, since U18 and U19 are 14 pin packages, the connections to U2 and V8 from pins 8, 6 & 7 to pins 10, 6 & 7, respectively, are unnecessary. The devices driving the inputs of U2 and U8 have more than sufficient drive capability and these connections only increase power dissipation and reduce reliability.

POTENTIAL IMPACT Unnecessary connections to pull-up resistors may result in reduced reliability, increased power consumption, and added maintenance time.

RECOMMENDATION Remove the connections between U18 (U19) pins 8, 6 & 7 and U2 (U8) pins 10, 6 & 7, respectively (see Figure 2). Remove U18 (U19) from the list of devices having Vcc applied to pin 16 and place U18 (019) 'n tne list of devices receiving power through pin 14 (see Figure 3).

REPORTED BY J. Gallaway _o ,I[m;-V DATE 10/8/81 CUSTOMER ACTION Vitro does not recommend a change.

TITLE INITIATION OF SLOW TEST MAY CAUSE ADVANCE IN TEST COUNTER REFERENCES Automation Industries, Inc., Vitro Labs.Div., Dwg. No. 2544-1013,

" Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequences Electrical Schematics, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station ," sheet 16, rev.1, zone 6A.

MODULE / EQUIPMENT 1MS-28-096 EXPLANATION At the initiation of a " Slow" test, an oscillation may be introduced into the clock line of the test counters; this would cause the test counters to advance in counts without the use of the " MANUAL" button circuit. When a " Slow" signal is in transition, there may be enough noise through capacitor CUS-7 (see Figure 1) to cause spurious clock pulses at the output of device U1A.

POTENTIAL IMPACT During the initiation of a " Slow" test, the test counter may advance past count 00 before the " MANUAL" button is pushed due to spurious clock pulses.

RECOMMENDATION To correct the possiole introductior of spurious clock pulses, capacitor CU8-7 should be removed and the circuit should be converted into a Schmitt Trigger as shown in Figure 2.

REPORTED BY P. Scarlato ,

(f), (t ,

DATE 11/P.'81 CUSTOMER ACTION

- Vitro does not recommend a change.

Boeing agrees on the basis of the improbability of the combination of the spurious clock pulses in association with the slow rise time of the clock signals resulting in the advance of the test counter. Al so, it is recognized that this situation would only occur during mdintenance activities.

" Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer Electrical Schematics,

. " Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station."

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION Should the +24VDC power supply fail open,an indication of this fault may be inhibited by current feeding from the +15VDC power supply to the +24VDC system, thus holding relay K80 in. This is based on the assumption that relay K80 has a 24 volt coil (see SCR-4). An example of the 18 paths that exist to supply current to this relay is shown in Figure 1. The current paths are those connections to bubbles 61, 64, 65, 67-71, and 73-82 (see Figure 1).

POTENTIAL IMPACT If the +24VDC power supply fails, the lead sequencer would fail to respond properly to input signals.

RECOMMENDATION Redesign as necessary such that a " Fault" output would result upon loss of the +24VDC power supply.

. REPORTED BY J. L. Gallaway .

htuc[ DATE 11/30/81 CUSTOMER ACTION

. Vitro does not recommend any circuit modification.

Boeing agrees, on the basis of the improbability of relay K32 and relay K80 remaining energized due to the change in SCR-4.

" Engineered Safety Features Loading Saquencer Electrical Schematics, Virgil C. Summer Nuclear Station."

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION This area of concern is the design philosophy of the interface between the electronics portion of the Load Sequencer and the relay portion.

The relay portion seems to be designed for " fail without output", while the electronics have a number of single point failures that may result in the inhibiting or initiating of an output. These single point failures may or may not be detected in the normal automated test mode of operation. An example of some of the possible failures that may result are shown in Figure 1.

POTENTIAL IMPACT Possible reduced reliability or degradation of available margins and reserves as well as possible increased maintenance requirements.

RECOMMENDATION Investigate component level single point failures and determine their impact on system level reliability and maintenance levels.

REPORTED BY -

DATE CUSTOMER ACTION Gilbert Associates, Inc.'s verbal response indicates that, should the Load

. Sequencer fail so as to initiate an undesired action, the operators will then correct the situation. Also, if the Load Sequencer fails to operate at all, a redundant Load Sequencer will be used to perform the required functions.

Boeing concurs that the issue may be resolved in this manner. However, to rely upon operator actions to protect plant equipment leaves susceptibility to human error.

TITLE REDUCED SYSTEM NOISE IMMUNITY REFERENCES Automation Industries, Inc., Vitro Labs. Div., Dwg. No. 2544-1013

" Engineered Safety Features Loading Sequencer Electrical Schematics, Virgil C. Sumer Nuclear Station."

MODULE / EQUIPMENT EXPLANATION A normal design practice is to filter the power supply at each circuit card. However, the following circuit cards are not shown to have this filtering: XA7, 8, 10-13, 14-16, 20, 21, 24, 34, 35, 39, 40, 42, 43, and 45 47. Those circuit cards not listed have filter capacitors or are considered not to require them.

POTENTIAL IMPACT Increased system switching noise and decreased system noise immunity, RECOMMENDATION Consider adding a 1.2pf and a 0.1pf capacitor in parallel to the above mentioned circuit cards.

REPORTED BY J. L. Gallaway -

DATE 11/30/81 CUSTOMER ACTION Vitro does not recommend a change.

. In the analysis of circuit functions, it has become apparent that the signal names for bubbles 52 & 208 are unprecise (52 = "PWR ON CLR" &

208 = "AT PWR ON CLR"). 1.) Bubble 52 is part of the automatic test fault reset circuit and should be labeled so as to correspond to an I automatic test reset. 2.) Bubble 208 is part of the power on clear circuit which is not a function of the automatic test circuits. Therefore, the signal name on bubble 208 should not contain the "AT" reference.

Vitro Laboratories Division is in rece'ipt of yc . IcttL v~T Au sust 17, 1981 and the attached " Design Concern Report No. 1". The design is as intended,-and no action is required.

The design intent was to provide " pull-up resistors" on pins 1 . , -

through 5 and 11 through 15 of the 11C676P packages. The assembly method utilized 1.s commonly referred to as " piggy-back"; that being, one inte-grated circuit package nounted on top of another. In this case, the resistor package U18(U19) is mounted on top of the IC package U2(U8) in such a manner that pins 1 and 14 of U18(U19) correspond to pins 1 and 16 cf U2 (US) . Pin numbers for U18(U19) are id,entified with respect to the pin numbers of U2(U8). The resistors connected to pins 6, 7, and 10 are there only as a result of the assembly method used, and not intended to have any effect on circuit operation.

If you have any need for further technical information concerning this matter, please feel free to contact !!r. James J. !!oran at (301) 871-2560.

Dear Mr. Wactor:

In response to your letter of September 29, 1981 concerning Boeing

' Aerospace Company Drawing Error Reports Nos.1 through 4 and Sneak Circ.uit Analysis Report No.1, please be advised of the following:

4 (a) Drawing Error Reports Nos. 1, 3, and 4 Vitro agrees that the typographical errors deecribed exist, and concurs that the recommended corrective actions should be imp?emented in accordance with the first paragraph of your letter.

(b) Drawing Error Report No. 2 Vitro disagrees with the discrepancy as described. The node on Sheet 12 is Node 33 and not Node 24. The node was identified as Node 24 and labeled as Step 1 on Comment Issue 1 of the schematics, but was later changed to Node 33 and labeled Step 1 and appears this way on the "as-built" drawings. See Comment (c).

(c) Sneak Circuit Report No. 1

, The electrical connection between Circuit Card XA3-Pin 21 and the 115 y a.c. does not exist and there is no danger of equipment damage. The error was the assignment of 33 to the nodes connect-

~

ing XA3-Pin 21 on Sheet 5 to XA41- Pins 16 and 26 on Sheet 12.

(The change referenced in (b) above.)

October 20, 1981 The node numbers are used for computer generation of wire lists from the schematics during initial equipment design. Diagnostic routines are employed to assure that the initial schematics do not contain errors which would cause incorrect wiring such as described in the Sneak Circuit Report.

Changes occurring during equipment test are documented by hand for indi-vidual drawings. These changes are not recycled through the computer to correct the schematics or wire lists. The schematics and wirc lists are individually corrected by hand. The possibility exists therefore that an error could be made in correcting the schematic which would appear as a wiring error. This error would not exist in the equipment. Additionally the equipment necessarily is completely tested prior to delivery thereby eliminating the possibility of a delivered wiring error.

Assignment of node numbers is arbitrary. Therefore Vitro suggests that Node 33 on Sheet 5 and Sheet 12 be changed to Node 125, which appears to be an available and presently unused number.

South Carolina Electric and Gas Company she.uld provide their vendors such as Boeing Aerospace Company with the latest drawings to preclude erroneous reports such as DER-2 and SCR-1.

If you have any need for further technical information concerning these matters, please feel free to contact Mr. James J. Moran at (301) 871-2580. -

Dear Mr. Wactor:

Vitro Laboratories Division has received a copy of the Preliminary Sneak Circuit Analysis Final Report sent by South Carolina Electric and Cas Company, and has the following comments on this report. 'In' addition to DER No. 7 Sections 6.0, 7.0, 8.0-a and 8.0-d, and ^^" "- ' -1s:

appear to be outside Vitro's scope of legitimate comment and, therefore, are not addressed. Additionally, comments to SCR No. 1, DCR No. 1,and DERs Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 have been transmitted in VL-CS-T-109(81) on October 20, 1981, and also are not addressed.

Sections 8.0-b and 8.0-c The practices suggested are common for digital systems utilizing high-speed logic families such as TTL where speed of operation is a primary design goal. The. Load Sequencers use MHTL which is a relatively slow logic family designed primarily to provide a high level of noise immunity. Additionally, Vitro's design practices provide resistor-capacitor noise filters throughout the logic and multiple path power supply wiring to enhance the system's noise immunity for this type of slow-speed system in l the same manner as the suggested practices do for a high-speed system. l Section 8.0-e e

The circuit condition described is correct. A caution note concern-ing the possible occurrence of a redundant time delay setting is contained on pages 25 and 28 of the Instruction Manual. Any change in the switch l settings must be followed by a verification test to verify the new settings. i E-5

- Section 8.0-f The circuit condition described is correct. Any input from the plcat is considered to be an abnormal condition with respect to the Automatic Test Features. Also, annunciation of abnormal equipment conditions occur-ring while the equipment is performing its safety function is beyond tiie c ope of the Automatic Test Features.

SCR-2 Vitro disagrees that a sneak circuit exists, but rather considers this to be a drawing error on Sheet 2, Zone 3A, of Vitro Drawing 2544-1013.

The actual driver connections to the BKR Status Indicators are reversed-from those shown on the drawing. The actual connections are J3-C to XA42-41 and J3-D to XA42-27, as shown in Nets 1010 and 1020 of the Card File Wire List, Vitro Drawing WL 2544-1007. Vitro recommends that Drawing 2544-1013 be corrected by correcting the wire connections. Vitro.recom= ends against changing the labels, as this would make Drawing 2544-1013 disagree with the actual control panel labels and reference designations as they

. exist on the cabinets.

SCR-3 The circuit condition described appears to be the result of a Gilbert and/or SCE&G drawing change error. The connection point for Bubble 260 is at XA11-58 shown at Zone C7 on Sheet 20 of Vitro Drawing 2544-1013. Vitro E.O. 41341 dated July 30, 1980 and incorporated by Gilbert and/or SCE6G, made a change in Zone D7 of Sheet 20 but did not eliminate the signal source of Bubble 260. Electrically, the connection exists and no wire changes are required. Vitro recommends thet Vitro Drawing 2544-1013 be corrected.

SCR-4 -

Relay K80 is incorrectly listed in the Instruction Manual spare parts list as a 120 v a.c. relay. Vitro recommends that the listing be changed to show K80 to be the same as K67, a Potter /Brumfield KUP14D15-24VDC, 3-pole relay. This will make the same spare parts list in the manual consistent with the parts list on ESF Loading Sequencer Control Panel Assembly Draw-iag, Vitro No. 2544-1005, Sheet 3. The correct relay is installed in the equipment and a part change is not required.

SCE&G/J. A. Wactor DCR-2 4

Motorola's published literature does not carry any information concerning the necessity for connecting the four-input expander package common pin to circuit common. The literature does indicate that these diode array circuits can be used in the same manner as discrete diodes, observing of course, proper voltage and current limitations. It is in this manner that they are used in the Load Sequencer design. Vitro does not recommend a change.

DCR-3 The diodes were originally part of the Automatic Test circuitry, but later Purchaser-initiated functional design changes obviated them.

They were not removed to minimize the wire changes necessar~ to imple-ment a required field design change. Vitro does not feel tueir removal would add significance to system reliability. ,

DCR-4 -

Capacitor CU8-7 is sized with respect to the digital circuit's switch'ing speeds to preclude spurious clock pulses. Vitro does not recommend a change.

DCR-5 This design concern report is incomplete because it does not demon-strate quantitatively that the +13 v d.c. power supply circuits can pro-vide the power required to maintain relay K80 in the energized state should the +24 v d.c. power supply fail. Also, if the system will not respond to normal inputs, as stated under the potential impact statement, neither will it respond to auto test inputs which will result in relay K80 being deenergized by the auto test fault circuits and immediately annunciating a cabinet malfunction. Hence, Vitro does not recommend any circuit modification of the system unless the results of a more detailed system operation / circuit analysis verify the validity of this design concern report.

Dear Mr. Price:

. 2 .

The sneak circuit analysis performed on the ESF Load Sequencer raised several questions that require GAI comments.' The. referenced Boeing

  • reports and our comments are as follows: .
1. DER #7 This report notes a discrepancy between the system design and the specification. The system was purchased and operates as required. Since specifications are not design documents, they have not been revised and are not required to be kept up-to-date.
2. DCR'#6 This report states that a single point failure could result in the inhibiting or initiating of an output. Any fault that results in an output would be detected by the operator via instrument indications and alarms. The operator would then determine if the output was due to a fault and take the o

necessary action. A failure that prevents an output does not degrado plant safety since two redundant Class lE cabinct's are provided. It is not postulated that the same fa' ult' would o occur in both cabinets at the same time. Sufficient redundancy is provided for the safety related systems such that a failure of any one train does not affect plant safety. Therefore. any sin::le point f ailure in the Load Sequencer does not degrade the safe operation of the plant.
