, i, Northern States Power Company 414 Nicollet Malt Minnaapoks. Minnesota 55401 Telephone (612) 330 5500 April 8, 1988 IE Bulletin 85-03 Director of Nuclear Reactor Regulation U S Nuclear Regulatory Commission Attn:

Document Control Desk Washington, DC 20555 PRAIRIE ISLAND NUCLEAR GENERATING PLANT Docket Nos. 50-282 License Nos. DPR-42 50-306 DPR-60 IE BULLETIN 85-03 FINAL RESPONSE Actions required by NRC Bulletin 85-03 have now been completed at the Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant.

The purpose of this letter is to provide a final report of actions taken in response to the Bulletin.

During the Prairie Island Unit 1,

1987 refueling outage and the Prairie Island Unit 2,

1988 refueling outage, maintenance, modi-fication and testing was performed on 42 motor operated valves (21 per unit) as required by NRC IEB 85-03 "Motor Operated Valve Common Mode Failures During Plant Transients Due to Improper Switch Settings".

This program at Prairie Island was implemented to ensure that valve operator switches are selected, set and maintained to arsure operational readiness of the motor-operated valves.

Prairie Island's program consisted of:

1.

A conservative determination of the maximum differential pressure expected during normal and abnormal events for both opening and closing the valves as defined in the Bulletin.

2.

From the above data, revised switch settings and switch setting methods were established.

Open torque switch settings were established using the M0 VATS calculation techniques or the maximum torque switch setting as provided by Limitorque.

If the Limitorque calculated open torque switch setting is more conservative than the MOVATS setting, it is used.

Closed torque switch settings were calculated using only the Limitorque calculation technique.

MOVATS calculations appear to be overly conservative and may cause excessive seat / disc wear, gg 8804200554 890408 I)

The open torque switch bypass was set at values greater than 20% full valve stroke.

This setting assures that the open torque switch will not inadvertently de-energize the motor during the large valve unseating loads when in a. differential pressure condition.

The red light indication (indicating that the valve is not fully closed) was set to provide the operator with the earliest indica-tion of valve movement.

To facilitate this the red light was rewired to a separate limit switch rotor than the torque switch bypass via modification 86L951.

The green light indication (indicating that the valve is not fully open) and the open limit are both on the same limit switch rotor.

This rotor is set such th&t the valve does not electrically backseat nor coast into the backseat.

All valves within the scope of the Bulletin do not utilize a closed limit.

Thermal overload settings for the motor operated valve intermittent duty motors are sized at 70% of the full load current.

This setting provides motor protection should it run in excess of the allowable period (15 min) at full load current.

Furthermore, during valve setup and testing the frequency of valve stroke cycles wac limited to prevent motor damage.

Refer to Table I for a summary of actuator data.

3.

Torque switch and limit switch setting methods were changed.

Rather that. using the original Limitorque data, each spring pack / torque switch was calibrated using MOVATS supplied equipment.

Each torque switch was setup, first being balanced, at a voltage equivalent to the desired stem thrust.

Limit switches and torque switch bypasses were setup based on the time scale of the resultant signatures.

In conjunction with the resetting of switches, each actuator was subject to detailed inspection and preventive maintenance.

The process for each actuator inspection consisted of:

a)

As found valve stroke timing b)

As found valve current and power signatures c)

Motor actuator isolation for work d)

Motor megger e)

Check tightness of actuator bolts to valve yoke f)

Lubrication of valve stem g)

Verification that the locking nut is staked

Static differential pressure testing on all valves using a high capacity hydropump or equivalent while taking actuator signatures u)

Full flow differential pressure testing on pump discharge valves while taking actuator signatures.

Differential pressure testing has been performed on all the valves.

i When the testing was not performed at the design pressure, linear extrapolations were performed to assure adequate margin exists for valve operability.

Furthermore, open torque switches are bypassed for more than 20% of the valve stroke to assure unseating loads do not make the valves inoperable.

Pump discharge valves were also subjected to a full flow test using the system pump.

In this test, valves were tested going in the closed direction proving that they can close with flow under the seat.

During the differential pressure testing, all of the valves performed as designed with no further switch resetting required.

4.

New procedures were developed and existing procedures revised to reflect the new philosophies in switch settings.

An ongoing program is in place to rewire all motor actuators to allow for independent setting of the open torque switch bypass and the valve position indication.

All safety related motor actuators, including the Bulletin valves, are now incorporated into the preventive maintenance program which includes signature analysis.

The preven-tive maintenance procedures aggressively incorporate recommendations from the industry when applicable.

98 Page 4 To further ensure switch settings are maintained, valves are stroke timed in accordance with the ASME Section XI program.

Valve stroke times are trended to easily detect any degradation.

If maintenance is performed that could affect the valve stem thrust or actuator functions, necessary testing is performed to assure valve operability.
