WASHINGTON NUCLEAR PROJECT NO. 3 (DOCKET NO. 50-508) 10CFR50.55(e) DEFICIENCY INTERIM REPORT LOW PRESSURE SAFETY INJECTION (LPSI)
PUMP FAILURES (D/N NO. 52)
Description of Deficiency The Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station LPSI pumps, as originally supplied, have
- experienced several instances of failure to start when energized. The investigation so far has established the root cause of the problem as excessive shaft deflection due to high magnetic forces in- the motor during start-up. This causes the impeller to co'ntact the casing ring sometimes preventing shaft acceleration. The WNP-3 LPSI pumps may also be subject to this type of failure.
The WNP-3 and PVhGS LPSI motors --have ' identical rotors, bearing systems, and
. electrical characteristics. The hydraulic portions of the pumps are also identical.
Safety ' Implications' .
The LPSI pump provides low pressure injection during a LOCA and also provides reactor coolant system flow to the shutdown heat exchanger during shutdown cooling. There are two LPSI pumps provided per plant. The likelihood of losing two pumps simultaneously by this mode of failure is remote and subsequent restart of a pump after a failure to start has been successful. However, since the potential of this type of failure has been identified, reliability of the ECCS and SDCS can be affected.
Corrective Action When the PVNGS investigation is completed, corrective action will be proposed for the WNP-3 LPSI pumps.
