SUBJECT:
REACTOR TRIP BREAKER FAILS TO OPEN DURING SURVEILLANCE TESTING (UPDATE)
AsLofi 8:00 AM,' June-10, 1985,. the licensee and technical representatives of General.
- Elsctric;(Atlanta) and Babcock and Wilcox (Lynchburg) have identified two possible crures"for the failed Channel "C" reactor trip' breaker (RTB)._ The failed breaker,
_ BTW Serial No. 224A3515-506GG-1, GE Type AK'2-25, had a measured armature to rivet
.clesrance of 0.059_ inches (factory set tolerance is supposed to be 0.001 to.0.010 inches). In addition, the shape of the. trip paddle where it contacted the armature plate was squared off rather'than rounded. The licensee intends to preserve the bruker in the as found condition to allow other interested parties' to examine it prier-to making any adjustments.
l All other reactor trip break'ers were reexamined. No'significant discrepancies were discovered with these breakers. However,,the measurement of armature to rivet clstrance was found to be sensitive to the armature position, contrary to GE Service
-Bulletin 25-014. The GE. technical representative noted.that, at the factory, this elserance was' set with the armature in the coil energized' position. Minor variances in;undervoltage dropout. voltages,'one trip bar torque setting, and a. missing lockwire,
. ware noted also, but the technical representative and_the licensee concluded these
=w;ra small enough to be insignificant.in'affecting breaker operation.
Tha licensee has declared six reactor trip breakers which have been successfully
- tssted.to be operable, and intends to startup today. Region V will review the ilicsnsee's actions to conclusively-determine the.cause of the failed Channel "C" RTB.
