Dear Mr. Grimes,

Thank you for your letter of March 16, 1939 concerning our method to trip the reactor. Your interpretation of the reactor trip devices at the Beznau power plant needs a minor correction.

The following description represents the basic design to switch off the power k to the control rod drive mechanisms CRDMs: ,"

1. Automatic actuation of the Reactor Trip Breakers RTBs by the Reactor [

Protection System RPS. The RPS de-energizes the undervoltage trip at-tachment of the RTBs (W, DB-25).

2. Manual actuation of the RTBs by the operator in the control room. This trip path energizes the trip coil of the RTBs.

1 In addition to this design we implemented two devices:

3. Automatic actuation of the RTBs by the RPS, energizing the trip coil.
4. Manual actuation (switch off) of the Generator Breaker of the motor-generator set, which generates the power to the CRDMs, by the operator in the control room. This means a redundant trip path to the basic arrange-ment.

L We have no objection if you reference our method to trip the reactor in pub-licly available documents.

Enclosed you will find the wiring diagrams you asked for.

We hope this will be of service to you.
