The  refurbished DB-25 circuit breaker was returned to Ginna Station with a missing pin in the operating mechanism. The absence of this pin is believed to have contributed to the failure of the SWP1B circuit breaker to close on a manual signal from the Main Control Board. This implies that the potential exists that the breaker would not close on an auto demand and therefore not be available to perform its safety function(s).
