B-697 PRECURSOR DESCRIPTION AND DATA NSIC Accession Number: 153333 Date: November 15, 1979
Title:
Flowpath from AFW Pump to Two Steam Generators Made Inoperable at Cook 1 The failure sequence was:
With the reactor at 100% power and the turbine driven AEW pump out of service for repair, the motor control center which provides power for valves which direct flow from one motor-driven AFW pump to two of the four steam generators was removed from service for inspection.
Corrective action:
The motor control center was returned to service.
Design purpose of failed system or component:
The motor control center provides power to the two motor operated valves associated with the AFW flow path from the motor-driven AFW pumps to two of the four steam generators.
Unavailability of system per WASH 1400: *AEW (loss of net + 8 hrs): 2.5 x 1-Unavailability of component per WASH 1.400: -
Unavailabilities are in units of per demand UD Failure rates are in units of per hour HR-'
