SUBJECT:
ANNOUNCEMENT OF INSPECTION OF LOW AND MEDIUM VOLTAGE POWER CIRCUlT BREAKERS PER TEMPORARY INSTRUCTION (TI) 2515/137 REV.1
Dear Mr. Selman:
This is to inform you that the NRC will perform an inspection of medium-voltage and low-voltage power circuit breakers at your Point Beach Nuclear Power Plant. This inspection will be conducted in accordance with Temporary Instruction 2515/137, Revision 1, " Inspection of Medium-Voltage and Low-Voltage Power Circuit Breakers." The inspection's onsite activities are scheduled for the week of June 8,1998. The details of this inspection were communicated to Ms. F. Flentje of your Regulatory Department, on Tuesday, April 21,1998.
The inspection w41 assess safety-related medium-voltage and low-voltage switchgear maintenance and engineering activities, refurbishment and lubrication methods; programs to address NRC and manufacturers' generic communications, procedures, and training; and your activities for low-voltage and medium-voltage breakers under 10 CFR 50.65, "the Maintenance Rule." In addition, this reviet Cl assess breaker maintenance history information and breaker reliability.
We request that you arrange a short presentation following the entrance meeting regarding the maintenance program, maintenance history and material condition of the low-and medium-voltage power circuit breakers installed at Point Beach.
Enclosed is a request for information. We would appreciate that the required information be provided to Region 111 and NRR by Mcy 28,1998, so that the team can prepare for the inspection. Any additional requests ce information will be forwarded later.

1.
Plant procet.
.or general or corrective maintenance on safety-related medium-voltage and 'ow-voltage metal-enclosed circuit breakers (if separate from #2 below).
2.
The procedure (s) used to perform routine periodic preventive maintenance (including routine periodic inspections, adjustments, cleaning, lubrication, electrical and diagnostic l
or predictive testing (e.g., timing or reduced control voltage testing, if done). If not specified in these procedures, please provide the plant-specified periodicity for preventive maintenance and the document that specifies it or an explanation of how it is specified. If not specified in these procedures, please state any required post-maintenance restoration checks (e.g., post installation functional check in connect position) and what requires them. Also include procedures for control of lubricants.
3.
The procedures or specification (s) used for breaker refurbishment, the frequrncy at which this refurbishment is performed, and the document or explanation of what specifies the frequency or the conditions requiring refurbishment.
For the purposes of this inspection, refurbishment (or overhaul or remanufacture) is intended to mean major maintenance that includes most or all of the following: complete pre-disassembly, inspection, and testing (documenting all as-found results); complete disassembly of the breaker; inspection of all parts for damage and wear; inspection of lubricant to determine proper type, condition (including hardening, dirt, or evidence of other contaminants) and documentation of all as-found conditions; replacement of all worn (out-of-tolerance) or damaged parts (documenting parts replaced including dedication and traceability); and cleaning, relubrication, preservation, reassembly, adjustment, final inspection and testing including obtaining baseline data for trending key operating parameters such as timing, forces, dimensions and adjustments, reduced control voltage tests, pole or contact resistance, insulation resistance (including both main poles and control components, etc.). Also, describe various modifications or upgrades implemented or recommended by the manufacturer.
4.
Procedures governing your programs for obtaining, reviewing, disseminating and using operational and industry experience information, including information provided by NRC, INPO, other licensees and the name(s) of the responsible licensee person (s) to contact for further information. Have ready for our review on site your records of your disposition of breaker-related information.
5.
Procedures governing your program for obtaining, reviewing, disseminating, using, and tracking disposition of technical information (including vendor manuals) and the name(s) of responsible person (s) to contact for additional information.
