The'as found'ondition of these relays during past calibra-tion checks has generally been found to be beyond the Technical Specification (T.S.)allowable values.Each relay was adjusted to within allowable values at the time it was discovered out of specification.
All relays were func-tional and would have performed the ESF function, although at a slightly different voltage than specified in T.S.A survey of other plants and relay manufacturers indicate that our relays are functioning consistent with the manufacturer's specifications and that our T.S;allowable values are too restrictive for this type of function and the relay being used.We have not been able to locate replacement relays with the required setpoint sensitivity in the industry.An engineering review is in progress to evaluate the maximum allowable voltage tolerances for the two applications.
A Technical Specification change request will be submitted as soon as this evaluation has been com-pleted.In the interim, we will increase the calibration frequency from every eighteen months to monthly.8804210251 38041k PDR ADOCK 05000316 DCD NAC Form 355 rn 41~

The setpoints for these relays have been found to be outside of the Technical Specification (T.S.)allowable values (T.S.3.3.2;1-Table 3.3-4, items 8a and 8b).Of 144 individual calibrations
~on the loss o'voltage relays over a seven year period, 68 were found to be outside of the T.S.tolerances.
Of the 66 individual calibrations performed on the degraded voltage relays over a seven year period, 41 were found to be outside of the T.S.tolerances.
The amount of deviation from the allowable setpoint band was limited and'distribution among the relays was random, indicating no particular relay to be.,defective.
A survey of other utilities which use this type of relay revealed'th'at the performance of our relays is consistent with their experience and within manufacturer's specifications.
Each relay was readjusted to within allowable values at the time it was discovered out of specification.
The Loss of Voltage relays are installed to sense a loss of offsite or normal auxiliary power to the ESS 4KV buses.Once the loss of voltage has been sensed and after a two-second time delay, these relays in a 2/3 phases logic initiate load shedding and emergency diesel generator starting.The Degraded Bus Voltage relays are installed to sense degraded reserve power feed to the ESS 4KV buses and, on a 2/3 phases logic with a two-minute time delay, trip open the reserve feed breakers and start the emergency diesel generators.
Once the emergency diesel generator has restored bus voltage to.normal, safety loads are sequenced on to the safety buses.The Technical Specifications for Unit 1 and 2 have existing setpoints of 80 percent (+.5X,-1.0X)for the Loss of Voltage and 90 percent (+1.0/.,-.5X)for the Degraded Grid detection.
The tolerance on these wetpoints are closer than the relays can obtain, and more importantly, closer than required for performing their'intended function, i.e., sensing loss of normal voltage, initiating load shedding, and diesel starting.Cause Of The Event Calibration history shows a performance record in line with undervoltage relays used at other plants.We have reviewed the application of undervoltage relays for this function with other utilities and various relay manufacturers.

Anal sis Of The Event American Electric Power's System voltage studies have been performed and indicate that the worst case voltage on the ESS buses at the the Cook Nuclear Plant would be 87.3 percent.We do not expect the ESS bus voltage to drop to a lower voltage than this unless a complete plant blackout condition occurred.Under a blackout condition, the ESS bus voltage would quickly drop well below the 80 percent undervoltage relay setpoint and'nitiate load shedding and diesel start.The only function of the 80 percent voltage relays is to sense a total loss of ESS bus voltage.Therefore, the setpoint deviations we'e experienced translat;e into a different line voltage and time than the Technicak.
S~oitication"calls for, but the time involved for this additional voltage drop is insignificant.
The function of the degraded bus relays are to disconnect the plant from the grid for a sustained degraded condition, i.e., less than 90 percent voltage for at least two minutes.They are armed only when the plant is fed from offsite power.Plant normal configuration is to be fed from the generator auxiliary transformers except for short periods during startup and shutdown.Therefore, these relays are not normally active during unit operation.
Again, relating to our system studies, we do not believe the slight out of tolerance to be a safety problem for the degraded bus relays.Our studies indicate that the lowest possible offsite voltage to our buses would be 93.3 percent except for the short period during Reactor Coolant Pump (RCP)starting, which is less than one minute.During RCP starting, the bus voltage can dip to 87.3 percent, however, we are protected from an unnecessary trip by the two-minute time delay on this circuit.Based on the above, it has been concluded that there is no Jeopardy to the health and safety of the public as a result of this event.N Rc poRM SSBA IA 4'll*U.S.GPO, IBBe.o e2i 538/i55 NRC Form 3SSA (BB31 LICENSEE IehlT.REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINU/(IN US.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION APPROVED OMB NO.3150-0(04 EXPIRES: 8/31/88 ACIUTY NAME (11 D.C.COOK NUCLEAR PLANT-UNIT 2 TEXT/B'I/RES gad/E/dykey INS//I/ddd/HRC Fenn 38543/(171 DOCKET NUMBER (2(o s o o o YEAR 8 8 LER NUMBER (8(SECUENTIAL yg NUMBER 0 0 3 REVISION NUMBER 00 04 PAGE (3)OF 0 4 Corrective Action Equivalent relays with less drift have not been identified as available in the industry.The relays were recqlibrated to within the allowable values at the time of discovery during the calibration.
In addition, all of the relays were recalibrated from April 7-9, 1988.Out of the 36 relays for Units 1 and 2, eleven were found out of specification.
Unit 1's were last calibrated in July 1987 and Unit 2's were calibrated in February 1988.An engineering review is in progress to evaluate acceptable Technical Specifi-cation values and tolerances for the type.of relay used.A Technical Specification change request will be submitted as soon as this evaluation has been completed.
In the interim, we will increase the calibration frequency from every eighteen months to monthly until the trend indicates a different frequency is)ustified.
