DearDr.Murley:
Introduction (10CFR21.21(b)(3)(i),
(ii)and(iii))AThisletterconstitutes afollow-up report,asrequiredby,."'10CFR21.21,ofinformation providedtoyourstaffviatelephone'n March1,1989.Thisreportisbeingsubmitted byIndianaMichiganPowerCompany,P.O.Box16631,Columbus,Ohio 43216.The10CFR21reportconcernsobservedfailuresofclosingmechanisms intwoBBCBrownBoveri,Inc.type5HK250circuitbreakersinstalled insafetysystemsinCookNuclearPlantUnit1.OnFebruary8,1989,duringtheconductofroutinecleaningandinspection ofcircuitbreakersinstalled inthe4KVdistribution systemforCookNuclearPlantUnit1,aBBCBrownBoveri(BBC)5HK250breakerthathadbeenremovedfromservicefortestingfailedtocloseasrequiredwhentheclosingcircuitwasenergized.
ThebreakersuppliestheUnit1eastresidualheatremoval(RHR)pumpandisrequiredtoclosetoperformitssafetyfunction.
Subsequent investigation showedthecauseofthefailuretobeaginganddirtcontamination ofthegreaseusedforlubrication ofthebreakerclosingmechanism.
Aftercleaningandrelubrication oftheclosingmechanism thebreakerfunctioned properly.
Thefailureofthebreakertoclosewasconsidered tobeanisolatedeventsincethebreakerinquestion, aswellasothersafety-related
- breakers, ofthesametype,hadpreviously passedallin-service surveillance tests.However,thebreakerservicing described belowinthediscussion sectionwasinitiated atthetimethis'ailure wasobserved.
OnFebruary27,1989,asecondBBC5HK250breaker8903100446 890303PDRADOCK05000315SPDC 0PCI'eJV Dr.T.E.Hurley-2-AEP:NRC:0971F alsofailedtocloseduringroutinetestingperformed onthebreakerwhileoutofservice.Thecauseofthesecondfailurewasdetermined tobethesameasinthefirstcase.Aftercleaningandrelubricating ofthebreakerclosingmechanism, thebreakerfunctioned properly.
Theobservation oftwofailuresofthesametypeduetothesamecause,inconjunction withtheknowledge thatbreakersofthesametypeandsimilarageareusedinsafety-related applications elsewhere intheindustry, promptedsubmittal ofthis10CFR21report.Discussion (10CFR21.21(b)(3)(vi) and(vii))Aspartoftheinvestigation ofthefirstbreakerfailurediscussed above,BBCwascontacted andassistance fromaBBCservicerepresentative wasrequested.
Whenthecauseofthebreaker's failuretoclosewasdetermined, theBBCrepresentative recommended aprocedure forcleaningandlubricating theclosingmechanism inordertoprovideforproperfunctioning ofthebreaker.Itshouldbenotedthattheobservedfailuresduringtestingaffectedonlythebreaker's abilitytoclosewhenrequired, andnottheabilitytoopen.Asaresult,allsafety-related BBC5HK250breakersinbothUnits1and2atCookNuclearPlantthatarerequiredtocloseinordertoperformtheirsafetyfunctionhavebeenservicedinaccordance withtheBBCrepresentative's recommendations inordertoensuretheywillfunctionproperly.
AttheCookNuclearPlantthisinvolved18BBCbreakersineachunit.Thesebreakersservesafetyinjection, auxiliary feedwater, containment spray,RHR,essential servicewater,component coolingwaterandcentrifugal chargingpumps,andtheemergency dieselfeed.Asanadditional partofourinvestigation andcorrective actionsassociated withtheeventsdescribed above,wehavereviewedthemaintenance procedures applicable totheBBC5HKcircuitbreakers.
Thisreviewwasintendedtoassesstowhatextentprocedural requirements mayhavecontributed totheeventsandwhat,ifany,procedural revisions couldbemadetopreventrecurrence.
Itshouldbenotedthattheapplicable maintenance procedure waspreparedbasedontheinstructions suppliedwiththebreakersbythebreakermanufacturer (I.T.E.instruction'No.
1B-8.2.7-2).
Discussions withtheBBCrepresentative revealedthatperiodiccleaningandlubrication oftheclosingmechanism wasnotaddressed intheapplicable BBCtechnical manualbecausethelubrication performed atthefactorywasconsidered tobepermanent andwasmeanttolastforthelifeoftheunit.Therefore, reviewconcluded thatbecausethemanufacturer's instructions contained norequirements forperiodiclubrication ofthebreakerclosingmechanism, ourmaintenance procedure similarly didnotrequirethistobedoneduringroutinemaintenance activities.
Dr.T.E.Murley-3-AEP:NRC:0971F Conclusion (10CFR21.21(b)(3)(vii) and(viii))Inaccordance withtheBBCservicerepresentative's recommendations, actionshavebeencompleted tocorrectthebreakerclosingmechanism failuresdiscussed aboveandallotherBBCsafety-related breakersinstalled inCookNuclearPlantUnits1and2whosesafetyfunctionistoclosewhencalleduponhavesimilarly beenservicedaccording toBBC'srecommendations.
