OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 March 17, 1994 NRC INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 94-20: COMMON-CAUSE FAILURES DUE TO INADEQUATE
DESIGN CONTROL AND DEDICATION
Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
This information notice is being provided to alert addressees to potential
common-cause failures resulting from inadequate design control and dedication
measures implemented for the replacement of electromechanical relays with
digital microprocessor-based relays. It is expected that recipients will
review the information for applicability to their facilities and consider
actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, suggestions
contained in this information notice do not constitute NRC requirements;
therefore, no specific action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
A common-cause failure at the Beaver Valley Unit 2 Power Station rendered
inoperable multiple trains of a system designed to mitigate the consequences
of an accident. On November 4, 1993, during testing of the Train A, 2-1 emergency diesel generator (EDG) load sequencer, the sequencer failed to
automatically load safety-related equipment onto the emergency bus. Two
suspect relays were replaced and the surveillance test was successfully
repeated. On November 6, 1993, during surveillance testing, the Train B, 2-2 EDG load sequencer failed to automatically load safety-related equipment onto
the emergency bus. An NRC Augmented Inspection Team was sent to the site to
review the circumstances surrounding these events (Inspection Report
50-412/93-81).
Discussion
The EDG load sequencers control the sequence in which safety-related equipment
starts after the EDG restores power when normal power is lost on the emergency
busses. Timer/relays are used to load the safety-related equipment in six
discrete steps during a 1-minute period. The same type of timer/relay is also
used to reset the diesel generator load sequencer if a safety injection or a

IN 0,-0O
March 17, 1994 containment isolation Phase B signal is received. Resetting the load
sequencer allows necessary emergency core cooling system equipment to be
loaded. The load sequencers originally used electromechanical timer/relays
to generate the timed steps and sequencer reset function. The electro- mechanical timer/relays were replaced with microprocessor-based timer/relays
during the second refueling outage, in November 1990. Each train of the load
sequencer has eight Model 365A digital microprocessor-based timer/relays
manufactured by Automatic Timer Controls Inc. The timer/relays were purchased
as commercial-grade items and dedicated for safety-related service.
A review of these events indicated that the microprocessor-based timer/relay
failed as a result of the voltage spikes that were generated by the auxiliary
relay coil controlled by the timer/relay. The voltage spikes, also referred
to as "inductive kicks," were generated when the timer/relay time-delay
contacts interrupted the current to the auxiliary relay coil. These spikes
then arced across the timer/relay contacts. This arcing, in conjunction with
the inductance and wiring capacitance, generated fast electrical noise
transients called "arc showering" (electromagnetic interference). The peak
voltage noise transient changes as a function of the breakdown voltage of the
contact gap, which changes as the contacts move apart and/or bounce. These
noise transients caused the microprocessor in the timer/relay to fail. The
failure of the microprocessor-based timer/relay caused the time-delay contacts
to reclose shortly after they had properly opened as part of the load
sequencer operation. Closing the time-delay contact locked out (deenergized)
the load sequencer master relay and prevented the load sequencer from
operating. To correct the identified problem, the licensee installed diodes
across the auxiliary relay coils to suppress the voltage spike that had caused
the microprocessor-based timer/relay failure. This modification was confirmed
to correct the problem through successful testing of the EDG load sequencer.
The design control for the selection and review for suitability of the
microprocessor timer/relays for this application was not adequate. The
modification design data did not identify the potential for voltage spiking by
the auxiliary relays and translate that potential into electromagnetic
interference requirements for the equipment purchase specification and the
dedication testing specification. As a result of inadequate design control, a
common-cause failure mechanism was introduced into the diesel generator load
sequencers.
This event highlights the need to ensure proper design control activities when
replacing discrete component electrical or electromechanical devices with
digital microprocessor-based electronic devices. Specifically, the event

March 17, 1994 shows that safety-significant, common-mode failures can occur when the design
review does not ensure that the digital, microprocessor-based replacement
equipment is compatible for the specific application and service environment.
