4. Nature of the defect or failure to. comply and the safety hazard to which Is created or could be created by such defect or failure to comply.

The solenoid valve received by Duke Energy failed to shuttle position when the. coil was initially energized. This solenoid valve is part of the feedwater isolation valve assembly and failure to shuttle. will prevent the feedwater isolation valve from closing on demand.

5. The date on which the information of such defect or failure to comply was obtained.

Flowserve was initially notified on September 11, 2022. Flowserve provided response to Duke (see Enclosure 4 of this report) on September 15, 2022 to confirm that Flowserve would perform the evaluation within 45 days upon receipt of the solenoid valve. Flowserve received the solenoid valve for evaluation on October 5, 2022.

6. In the case of a basic component which contains a defect or failure to comply, the number and location of these components in use at, supplied for, being supplied for, or may be supplied for, manufactured, or being manufactured for one or more facilities or activities subject to the regulations in this part.

The solenoid valves have been provided to various domestic nuclear plants with a known list contained within Enclosure 1 of this report.

7. The corrective action, which has been, is being, or will be taken; the name of the individual or organization responsible for the action; and length of time that has been or will be taken to complete the action.

See Enclosure 3 of this report. Flowserve will ( 1) revise the assembly and test procedure for the Model 38878 solenoid valve to add a final test after the thread lock component has been applied and been allowed to cure to verify the solenoid valve shifts when energized, and (2) provide training to assembly and test personnel on the importance of ensuring that excess thread lock compound has not been applied.

These actions will be completed by December 15, 2022

8. Any advica related to the defect or failure to comply about the facility, activity, or basic component that has been, is being, or will be given to purchasers or licensees.

See Enclosure 3 of this report. Nuclear power plants with model 38878 solenoid valves that have not undergone acceptance testing should verify that these suspect solenoid valves will shift on demand when energized.

9. In the case of an early site permit, the entities to whom an early site permit was transferred.

Not applicable.

Failure Analysis of 38878-8 Solenoid Valve Duke - Catawba Serial Number BT443 PAGE 05/35 Flow Control Division Anchor/Darling Valves BW!IP Valves Edward V~Jv*s Valtek Control Products Won:;ester Velvas During pre-outage checks of a replacement solenoid fi:Jr our feedwater isolation valve (Model 38878-8),

technicians identified that a solenoid (S/N# BT 443) falled to shuttle when initially energized. While investigating the issue the solenoid was electrically cycled multiple times without shuttling of the spool piece. II was left continuously powered for approximately 1 o minutes when it did finally shuttle. After this initial shuttle the SOV was shuttling when demanded but due to the suspect operation, the customer considered it unusable. Serial number BT443 solenoid valve was assembled and tested on June 6, 2016, as part of so 115795, line item 001, Duke Purchase Order 03014228-REV,001.

This solenoid valve is part of the actuator for the Feedwater Isolation Valve. Failure of this solenoid valve to shift when energized could result in the actuator not being able to close the Feedwater Isolation Valve.

PAGE 33/35 During Flowserve's investigation into the root cause of the solenoid valve failure, Flowserve was unable to replicate this failure. Based on ex.amination of the solenoid valve components, excess thread lock compound had been applied to the Set Screw (16) and Nut (18) on the Coil Cap (5). The excess thread lock compound then ran down the Coil Cap (5) and wicked between the Coil Cap (5) outside diameter and the End Cap (6) inside diameter. Once this excess thread lock compound cured, the Coil Cap (5) was locked in the de-energized position, preventing the Coil Cap (5) from shifting. After the customer left the solenoid valve energized for 10 minutes, the Coil Cap (5) broke free from de-energized position and was able to shift freely. In the procedure for assembly and testing of this solenoid valve, the solenoid valve is not energized after application of the thread lock compound.

Excess TI1n:ad Lock Compound Observed in 111ese Areas Figure 2'!?: Areas Where Exross Thr~ad lock Compound was Observed All model 38878 solenoid valves that have not undergone testing after receipt by nuclear power plant customers.

Proposed Corrective Actions (Short Term);

Nuclear Power Plant Customers with model 38878 solenoid vaives that have not undergone acceptance testing should verify that these suspect solenoid valves will shift on demand when energized.

Proposed Corrective Actions (Long Term):

Provide training to assembly and test personnel on the importance of ensuring that excess thread lock compound has not been applied. The assembly and test procedure for the Model 38878 solenoid valves will be revised to add a final test after the thread lock compound has been applied and been allowed to cure to verify the solenoid valve shifts when energized.
