o ENCLOSURE BELLEFONTE NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 SEISMIC QUALIFICATION OF B&W EQUIPMENT IN TVA PANELS NCR BLN BLP 8011 10 CFR 50.55(e)
FIFTH INTERIM REPCRT Description of Deficiency A number of B&W supplied instruments are intended for installation in TVA's free standing, open, local instrument panels. Because of imprecise specifications in a TVA procurement document, the instrumentation supplied by B&W has not been seismically qualified to a response spectra which is compatible with the response spectra for TVA local instrument panels.
The responsibility for this deficiency is TVA's.
A list of the instruments in question follows:
Type of Device Manu facturer Mfr ID No.
Diff. Pressure Transmitter Bailey Meter Co.
Type N1BQ8 N3BQ7 N3BQ8 N2BQ7 N2BQ8 Press Transmitter N3KS N2KS N1KS Rosemount 1152GP Dresser 1079 1188 Press Switch B400 Series Diff. Press Indicator ITT Barton Model 227 Diff. Press Switch ITT Barton Model 288A Electro / Pneumatic Converter Fisher Model 546 Interim Progress TVA is continuing to work both internally and with B&W in order to resolve the seismic problem. To date, of the 253 total B&W devices in question, all but 32 have been determined to be acceptable. For those 32, TVA has asked B&W to consider requalification of these devices to the higher "g" levels as part of the NUREG-0588 qualification program.
