At the Consnission meeting on full power authorization for San Onofre Nuclear

Generating Station, Unit 3 (SONGS 3) on September 16, 1983, questions were raised regarding the need for adding PORVs for CE plants and the reliability of the auxiliary feedwater system. As a result, a condition was placed in the SONGS 3 full power license requiring the utility to provide infonnation regarding outage times for the auxiliary feedwater system for the first cycle of operation.

The licensee provided the first report relating to these outages on November 9, 1983, covering the period from September 16 through October 15, 1983. Subse-

! quent reports were provided monthly. Each of these reports contain infonna-l tion regarding outages of AFW components in the areas of preventive mainte-nance, corrective maintenance, surveillance testing and component investiga-tion.

Units 2 and 3 have similar AFW systems. Th? enclosed sketch (Figure 1) provides an outline of the important features of the basic system. There are three pumps; two driven by motors and one driven by a steam turbine. Each motor driven pump supplies water to one of the two steam generators while the turbine driven pump can supply water to either or both steam generators.

Note that the steam line, steam inlet valve and turbine for the steam driven l pump (P140) is not shown on the figure nor are the valves and piping in the 4 suction side of the pumps.

The staff reviewed the overall outages for the first three reports which covered the period from September 16, 1983 through December 15, 1983 and reported the results of that review at a Commission meeting on March 3, 1984.

The staff indicated that the outages were of the or g of a factor of four greater than those used in the reliability analysis for SONGS 2/3. The reliability analysis utilized the following maintenance outage times - for pumps, 19 hours2.199074e-4 days 0.00528 hours 3.141534e-5 weeks 7.2295e-6 months in a 4 1/2 month operating period of 3285 hours0.038 days 0.913 hours 0.00543 weeks 0.00125 months (0.58%); for valves, 7 hours8.101852e-5 days 0.00194 hours 1.157407e-5 weeks 2.6635e-6 months in a 4 1/2 month operating period (0.21%).

We have now reviewed the utility's data covering the period September 16, 1983

- April 15, 1985. These data have been tabulated in seven time periods, the first six periods (1-6) were of three months duration and the last period (7) was of one month duration. The pump outage data for SONGS 2/3 has been tabulated in Table 1 and the valve outage data in Table 2. Table 3 contains the outage time for other components, as indicated. As previously stated, the utility reported the outages separated into four areas, preventative main-tenance, corrective maintenance, surveillance testing and component investi-gation. In our evaluation these four inputs were lumped together, as maintenance outages. In Table 4 the pump and valve outage is provided in a slightly different way by considering the outages for each valve and pump separately for the total time (periods 1-7) in comparison with those in periods 2-6. These outage data are tabulated as percentages of the total operating time during the periods considered. Since the reliability analysis only considers individual component outages as part of a fault tree, we will be better able to make a direct comparison of these data with those outages con-sidered in the reliability analysi,s, 0.58% for individual pumps, 0.21% for individual valves.

Before considering the data, we must consider the possibility that reduction in o bathtubcurve.ggesmaybeattributedeithertoimprovedmaintenanceortothe

. The bathtub curve refers to the failure rate of critical hardware, throughout an operational lifetime. A relatively high early failure rate, known as the burn-in period, is found, which may b.e caused by improper assembly, improper installation or defective component parts. This is followed by a fairly constant " prime of life" period where failures occur randomly.

Finally, there is the wearout phase where components are failing at greater and greater rates as the useful component life is attained and exceeded. It is desirable to put components into service after the initial burn-in period and to replace them before the wearout period is reached.

ir < t y 3

In reviewing the data for the AFW pumps (Table 1), outages can be seen for the first reporting period (9/16-12/15/83) which exceed those found for any period thereafter (51.9 hours1.041667e-4 days 0.0025 hours 1.488095e-5 weeks 3.4245e-6 months for Unit 2 or 1.2% of the operating time and 69.8 hours9.259259e-5 days 0.00222 hours 1.322751e-5 weeks 3.044e-6 months for Unit 3 or 1.1% of the operating time). Thereafter, outages for the AFW pumps decrease in both absolute values and in percentage of operating time.

The overall outages for the AFW pumps 0.52% for Unit 2, 0.41% for Unit 3 (averaged over the reporting period) were found to be less than the value (0.58%) used in the reliability analysis although individual pump outages, e.g., 51.9 hours1.041667e-4 days 0.0025 hours 1.488095e-5 weeks 3.4245e-6 months for pump 140 (3.6%) in Unit 2 durin exceed that used in the reliability analysis (0.58%)g This the would first period seem markedly reasonable given that the first few months of operation (the burn-in period) nonnally uncover the early failures.

For the AFW valves (Table 2) similar circumstances can be seen to those encountered for the pumps with one significant exception - for Unit 2 there were no valve outages in the first period. With that exception, the first valve outages noted (46.1 hours1.157407e-5 days 2.777778e-4 hours 1.653439e-6 weeks 3.805e-7 months or 0.34% of the operating time for Unit 2, 134 hours0.00155 days 0.0372 hours 2.215608e-4 weeks 5.0987e-5 months , 0.55% for Unit 3) were the greatest, both in absolute value and in percentage of operating time. While these values exceeded the percentage value (0.21%)

used in the reliability analysis, the overall values, 0.11% for Unit 2, 0.15%

for Unit 3 were less than those used in the reliability analysis.

Outages for components other than pumps and valves (Table 3) occurred only in the first period (9/16-12/15/83). It would appear from this table that the corrective maintenance or repair in these cases, once made, was effective, so much so that further maintenance was not required during the period involved in this report. Therefore, we can conclude that the need for maintenance for the components involved in the outages reported in Table 3 improved markedly since no maintenance was required for these components thereafter. This would tend to strengthen the bathtub curve hypothesis but would be quite insufficient to prove the hypothesis.

However, a truer comparison may be made by utilizing the data in Table 4.

While the data in Tables 1-3 show us the direction things are going, the m i:ges may not be used as a valid comparison with the data used in the reliability analysis since the analysis utilizes only individual component outages in development of a fault tree. Utilization of the Table 4 data shows the following components to have maintenance outages in excess of those used in the analysis. l l

Valve 4716 (0.65%) Valve MU 681(0.33%)

Suction Vent Valve (0.59%)

Periods 2-7 Periods 2-7 Valve 4716 (0.80%)

None Considering the data in Table 4 and assuming that Period 1 either represents

- the early burn-in portion of the bathtub curve or is not representative of the data as a whole, only the outage for valve 4716 (0.80%) is in excess of the maintenance outage valve used in the reliability analysis. We conclude, therefore, that the outages for maintenance have lessened with time, and that, based upon the outages shown for periods 2-7 and considering the values for maintenance outages shown for all components in those periods, the actual component reliability is consistent with that used in the reliability analysis for SONGS 2/3.

1. by a vote of 5-0 agreed to accept the backup EOF as .

proposed by Southern California Edison; fg M-/u/uq f.//.7f

2. by a vote of 5-0 authorized staff to allow Unit 3 to ,

The scope of reporting would also include maintenance and operator errors which are significant to evaluating auxiliary feedwater reliability.

The staff will evaluate the data submitted and report back to the Commission in one year.
