This supplements PN-78-13 dated February 14, 1978.
On March 15, 1978, the licensee reported that certain Bendix electrical connectors used in the Unit No. 3 containment failed environmental (Post LOCA) tests at Wyle Laboratori despite a less severe accelerated aging program than that used previously. Although the tests are still in .
RBE progress, four of the ten connectors in the test sample have failed.
=.
The first series of connectors under, test were thought to have failed as g
! s'-
a result of severe accelerated aging temperatures which " cooked" the 7/
(~ ~ ] connector neoprene seals beyond their resiliency limits. NRC and the n
l licensee are evaluating the test results and determining appropriate corrective action. A meeting on the matter is scheduled with the licensee i in Bethesda on March 16, 1978. Units 1 and 2 utilize connectors, . ?@g supplied by a different manufacturer, which passed the environmental '! -
tests. Unit 3 was operatino at full power. M 1:00 a.m. on March 16, 1978. The unit was shutdnwn at Corrective action is under review.
