- Report on C?.DCS 3reaker Cabinet Seis=ic Qualification '
Thir report, pursuant to 10 CFR 50.53(e) on 'Significant Deficiencies, is to
-lSUO )
document the investigation of the significant deficiency 'in the seis=ic qual-ification on the Control Rod Drive Control Syste= Trip Breaker Cabinets.
t f Identification of Proble=s A reevaluation of the seis=ic qualification of the control rod drive control i system AC breaker cabinets has found that the attach =ent of the cabinet to the i, floor is inadequate to withstand the SSE acceleration levels.
1 Analysis
- l The . Control Rod Drives are trippad by Loss of Power to the Drive Stators. Pcwer
! is interrupted by disengaging either the AC or DC CRD breakers. Should the I f
' f.
breaker function be disabled in some =anner, the Control Rods would have to be driven into the core to shut the reactor down.

O j In the event of an SSE, the AC Breaker Cabinets could, as per the analysis, i break loose fco= the floor =ounting. With the cabinets unattached, the rando:
i motion of dancing, bouncing, and even falling over could cause accelerations of the breakers that have not been analyzed or damage to the breakers, wiring, or I
, connections which could conpro=ise the ability of the breakers to trip the
.
f control rods. Analyses cannot show that the failure will always be fail safe.
i l Therefore, the deficiency in the design of the structural attach =ent of the AC l
,
Breakers Cabinets to the floor could adversely affect safety. This i. roble: is t
thus considered to be a Significant Deficiency as par 10 CFR 50.55 (e) .
