.V NIAGARA M0 HAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILE POINT - UNIT 2 DOCKET NO. 50-410 Final Report for a Problem Concerning Magnetrol Level Switches (55(e)-84-41 )

Description of the Problem The problem pertains - to Magnetrol level switches, Model No. C-751.

These switches are manufactured by Magnetrol Company and are supplied to Nine Mile Point - Unit 2 by General Electric.

General Electric's Early Warning Notice No. 47 indicated that during a high energy line break the switch gasket could fail, thus resulting in a failure /short of the microswitch.

The - failure of the switch could result in the loss of safety-related de power supply.

The subject switches are used in safety 9 sted systems.

Analysis of Safety Implications

~ Subsequent environmental qualification testing for these switches shows that these devices meet the environmental qualification requirements for Nine Mile Point - Unit 2 and therefore do not present any safety implications.
