ha N!AGARA M0 HAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILE POINT - UNIT 2 30CKET N0. 50-410 Interim Report for a Problem Concerning Reliance Motor on Limitorque Motor Operator, Model SMB-3-150, Design Base Event Qualification (55(e) 85-22)

Description of the Problem During cualification testing, a Limitorque ac motor operator exhibited a substantial loss of torque.

Such loss of torque may result in a valve's failure to respond, as specified, to an open/close signal.

The failure has been traced to the Reliance Motor and is tentatively attributed to the use of a magnesium alloy rotor.

A final report will be submitted by January 31, 1986
