On November 10, 2021, Callaway Plant received written notification from Paragon Energy Solutions, LLC, pursuant to 10 CFR 21.21(b), which identified a deviation associated with the DC/DC converter in two power supplies, NLI-STM15-15M20 (15 VDC) and NLI-STM48-14M20 (48 VDC) that had been sent to Paragon for evaluation and failure analysis following failures of individual components within the power supplies at Callaway Plant. The notification identified the following failed components:
For the NLI-STM15-15M20 [15 VDC] power supply, the failed components were the Vicor Module, P/N: V150A28C500BL, and the DC/DC Converter, Murata P/N: NKE1212SC, Date code: G1511
For the NLI-STM48-14M20 [48 VDC] power supply, the failed component was the DC/DC Converter, Murata P/N: NKE1212SC, Date code: G1511
Fourteen of these power supplies (in total) are used in three Balance of Plant Engineered Safety Feature Actuation System (BOP-ESFAS) cabinets and two Load Shed and Emergency Load Sequencer (LSELS) cabinets.
