Subject:
Clinton Power Station Response to Request for Additional Information Related to Proposed Amendment of Facility Operatina License No. NPF-62 (LS-94-004)
Dear Sir:
By letter dated February 22,1996 (Illinois Power (IP) letter number U-602522),
IP submitted an application for amendment of the Clinton Power Station (CPS) Operating License (License No. NPF-62) to incorporate a proposed change to the CPS Technical ,
Specifications (Proposed Change No. LS-94-004). IP proposed to revise Technical Specification (TS) 3.3.4.1, "End of Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip (EOC-RPT)
Instrumentation," specifically to delete Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.4.1.6 which
. requires the RPT breaker interruption time to be determined at least once per 60 months.
To support review ofIP's application for amendment, the NRC has requested IP to provide additional information as requested within NRC letter, " Request For Additional Information Concerning Proposed Change Eliminating The End Of Cycle Recirculation ;
Pump Trip Interruption Time Testing Requirements - Clinton Power Station, Unit No.1 (TAC No. M94888)," from D. V. Pickett, Senior Project Manager, dated April 24,1996.
This letter is provided in response to that request. Therefore, please find in the attachment to this letter (as supported by the attached enclosures) IP's response to each of the questions contained in the NRC's request for additional information.
Due to the potential to reduce refueling outage complexity and/or duration, as well as the significant resource savings that can be realized by implementation of the proposed change to delete Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.3.4.1.6, IP is requesting that the 9607100211 960704 PDR ADOCK 05000461 7

l Attachment to U-602605 LS-94-004 l Page 1 of 9 j f i By letter dated April 24,1996 the NRC requested additional information related to Illinois Power's (IP's) February 26,1996 request to amend the Operating License (Technical '
Specifications) for Clinton Power Station (CPS). The proposed change would eliminate the Surveillance Requirement for periodically measuring the breaker interruption time for j the reactor recirculation pump motor breakers which are designed to be rapidly and l automatically opened by the End-of-Cycle Recirculation Pump Trip (EOC-RPT) system i (in conjunction with a reactor scram) to mitigste the effects of a pressurization type l transient such as a turbine trip or generttor load rejection. Information in remonse to ,
I j each of the questions contained in the NRC's request for additional information is given below: l l
Ouestions and Resoonsta
- 1. "Please identify the breaker model and manufacture. This information is not l
- stated in the request."
Resoonse: Each of the four EOC-RPT circuit breakers is a Westinghouse Class IE, safety-related, type 75DVP500. Each ofthe two Reactor Recirculation i i Pumps at CPS has two such safety-related circuit breakers in series with j pump power. (See Figure 1, Page 9 of 9 of this Attachment.) These circuit breakers are similar to the horizontal drawout magnetic-air type 75DHP500 breakers manufactured by Westinghouse; however, these
! circuit breakers differ in that they utilize vacuum interrupters instead of 2
pole pieces. The DVP line of circuit breakers is a first generation vacuum type. The breakers are each equipped with a spring-stored, energy closing mechanism similar to that utilized in DHP circuit breakers.
^
l 2. "Please provide a Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) for the breaker for which this request is made. On page 4 of Attachment 2, second bullet,it
? Is stated:
The design of the breaker is such that there is seldom failure of the breaker to open v3 thin the vendor specified time limits that does not i.!se result in a failure of the breaker to operate. Problems with the mechanks of the breaker would most likely cause mechanical failures, not a degradation of performance that would cause the breaker to open in a time greater than the vendor specified time limit. So, while degradation of the breaker mechanism that would impact the mechanical opening time of the breaker may be pcssibic, the breaker mechanism would be expected to fail to operate rather than fail in a manner that
. . l Attachment to U-602605 :
LS-94-004 Page 2 of 9 ;
would be difficult for cperaton and maintenance ;
> penonnel to recognize.
A failure which seldom occun will,in fact, occur. Since the failure anode determination has apparently been done by Blinois Power Co. (IP), the staff !
would like to review the failure modes. In addition, the staff would like a more definitive, preferably numerical probability of failure to open within
! specified time limits without fsilure to operate than ' seldom' or 'most
- likely'."
Response: The second bullet on page 4 of Attachment 2 ofIP's submittal was a :
- summary statement based on the vendor manual, past performance of ;
i maintenance, actual operating experience, and engineeringjudgment. A 4
formal FMEA for the breakers was not provided by the vendor, but an analysis and discussion of breaker failure modes based on vendor 4
j information and IEEE 500-1984, "IEEE Guide to the Collection and j Presentation ofElectrical, Electronic, Sensing Component, and Mechanical j Equipment Reliability Data for Nuclear-Power Generating Stations," is provided below, Applicable failure modes that would render the DVP breakers inoperable !
l j (with respect to opening of the breaker on demand) are a catastrophic 1 failure and a degraded type of failure:
(1) A catastrophic failure of the vacuum breaker to open on demand
- would be caused by failure of the operating mechanism or vacuum intermpters. To maintain high performance reliability with respect to these potential failure modes, maintenance is performed on the
! breakers in accordance with vendor recommendations. Preventive maintenance tasks include checking the interrupter for vacuum and
- ' contact wear gap, checking and adjusting the mechanism latches, lubrication, and testing that includes megger and ductor testing.
(2) Degraded failure of the vacuum breaker to open, i.e., a slow trip, would be caused by degradation of the operating mechanism.
. Again, proper maintenance (the preventive tasks described above) prevents such faliures. Westinghouse instruction bulletin I.B. 32-253-3B includes a section on the mechanical timing of breakers which states, "The breakers are checked at the factory for contact l speed and contact bounce. These values do not change appreciably during the mechanical life of the breaker and are not considered as a part of the regular it.spection and maintenance program."
4
.. l Attachment to U-602605 LS-94-004 Page 3 of 9 There is no failure probability data available spe eHy for the DVP-type .
breakers. Industry data is available for failure rates of the DHP metal-clad drawout type breakers. This data can provide some perspective on the -
reliability of the DVP breakers, considering that the DVP breakers can be expected to be more reliable. (The DVP breakers utilize fewer moving parts due to the vacuum technology employed. Further, although CPS is .
E only in its sixth operating cycle, performance of the DVP breakers has bet a {
. excellent as no failures or degradation has occurred to date.) The IEEE !
- failure rate data for the DHP breakers includes catastrophic, degraded and incipient modes of failure, but does not include a failure mode specifically identified as " failure to open within specified time limits." Nevertheless, ;
the data can serve to provide a gauge of reliability. Per IEEE 500-1984, j the expected fdlure rate for the composite of all failure modes of metal '
clad drawout circuit bnakers (rated at greater than 600 volts) is 0.4 failures per one million hours. The IEEE failure number is conservative as
~! it includes data from Class-lE and Non-lE equipment, supplied from a
- multitude ofmanufacturers.
i I
DHP breakers have notably good industry reliability. As specifically noted in EPRI/NMAC, Circuit BreakerMaintenance, Vol. 2, Part 3, April,1994, the Nuclear Plant Reliability Data System listed a total of only 30 failures.
' The EPRI/NMAC report also notes that, based on a review of the Nuclear 1 Regulatory Commission's Nuclear Document System (NUDOCS), no Informat. ion Event Bubetins (IEB's), Information Event Notices (IEN's), or l Information Event Circulars (IEC's) have been issued against Westinghouse
. medium-voltage circuit breakers.
I It should again be noted that due to redundancy in the EOC-RPT design l' (see Figure 1), failure of one DVP breaker would not result in a loss of tripping function. Based on redundant design, proper conservative ,
maintenance and CPS history failure, reasonable assurance exists that the i
. EOC-RPT breakers will perform their intended design function over the lifetime of the plant (without requiring periodic performance of a test to !
! determine the breaker interruption time).

! Response: IP has provided Section 6 of Westinghouse DVP Circuit Breaker Manual
- I.E.32-253-3B, " Instructions for Porcel-line Type DVP Vacuum Circuit ,
Breakers," as Enclosure 1. This document provides a basis for an acceptable maintenance program for the breakers, including guidance for ;
routine inspection of the breakers.
It may be noted that Section 6.3.1, " Routine Inspection Interval Based on Time," has been revised to incorporate vendor information provided to y CPS via Westinghouse Elect ic Corporation letter from Randy Faller,
- Assistant Sales Engineer, dated February 22,1993, which is provided as Enclosure 2. This letter supported an evaluation performed in 1993 to
, justify making the inspection frequency for the DVP breakers to be the
- same as that for DHP breakers, i.e., once per three years.
I i Within the vendor's maintenance guidance provided in Enclosure 1, Subsection 6.6.2, " Mechanical Timing," states that the mechanical j operating speed of the breaker should be satisfactory as received from the vendor. The breakers are checked at the vendor's facility prior to shipment foi contact speed and contact bounce. These values do not change appreciably during the mechanical life of the breaker and are not considered J
part of the regular inspection and maintenance program With respect to
! the are suppression function, guidance for vacuum interrupter assembly j inspection and maintenance is provided in Section 6.6.1. This guidance
, includes use of a procedure described in Section 3.2 of the vendor instruction, which is a high pot test. The guidance also requires verifying wear gap within the interrupter assembly. Nowhere within Section 6 of the vendor instruction is arc suppression time response testing recommended as part of the routine maintenance or testing.
In response to the NRC's request to provide a copy of the CPS maintenance schedule for the EOC-RPT breakers, IP has provided copies of the applicable CPS Preventive Maintenance (PM) Task Descriptions as s

- 4. "Please provide a copy of past arc suppression time test results. On page 3 of i the IP request,it is stated:
- 1) A maximum time value of 95 milliseconds has been substantiated by IP during past surveillance testing at CPS,2) The vendor specified breaker interruption time is 50 milliseconds, which is much less than the proposed assumed vslue, and 3) Testing of the circuit breaker during equipment qualification testing confirmed an actual breaker interruption time of 24 to 34 milliseconds.
This information would lead the staff to conclude that during qualification F testing, times of 24 to 34 milliseconds were found, but since, during surveillance testing, times of up to 95 milliseconds were recorded. As the
- vendor time requirement is stated as 50 milliseconds, a test result in excess of that time would lead to doubt about the test method, the vendor limit, or the breaker maintenance."
Response: The test results and dates for past arc suppression tests at CPS are given in Enclosure 5.
4 l According to vendor information, the rated interrupt time of the DVP breaker is 3 cycles, which is inclusive of the contact separation time. For
- 60 Hz applications,3 cycles is approximately 50 msec. To date, IP has l been unable to consistently obtain as low a response time as 50 milliseconds. This is due to the fact that the testing performed by IP is not equivalent to that originally performed by the manufacturer. The difference
. . - . , , .-. . , , , ,,,..-n, . - . . . ., ., , -
Attachment to U-602605 LS-94-004 Page 6 of 9 in test results is attributed to the difference in testing environment and the fact that the sensors and other test instrumentation used at CPS are not identical to those used by the manufacturer, as further explained below.
The purposes of the tests at CPS and those performed at the manufacturer's facility are different. The tests at the manufacturer's facility were performed to determine the precise capability characteristics of the breaker.
i The tests performed at CPS are for the purpose ofconfirming that the breaker performs within a given time limit. The equipment used at CPS to measure the arc suppression time is not as sophisticated as that used by the vendor, and limits the user's ability to precisely determine the arc suppression time. Nevertheless, the equipment is sufficient to determine a bounding time (with appropriate uncertainty / margin included) that is recorded as the " arc suppression time." Because the test methodology used at CPS is sufficient for demonstrating acceptable breaker performance to within a bounding time limit, the expense of doing more sophisticated or accurate testing comparable to that performed by the manufacturer has not been considered or required. Further description of the testing performed at CPS is given in the following paragraphs.
Arc Suppression time, for the purposes of the test, is defined as the time from trip coil actuation (energization) until cessation of the arc.
Temporary switches are installed to initiate the transient (i.e., to energize the trip coil). The switch contacts are monitored to determine the event start. A transducer monitors the current in the 6900-volt reactor recirculation pump motor circuit to determine when current flow ceases.
The timed response can vary from test to test and will vary from pump to pump. Time delays that increase the measured response of the breakers include delays caused by the sensors, instruments and test connections.
These time delays cause the overall test result to be conservative. For example, the transmission time from the temporary switch to the breaker trip coil is a source of test time delay that is not measured and does not get subtracted out of the result of the time response test. Another and significant source of test time delay is that pump coastdown induces some current into the circuit thereby artificially extending the measured time.
i The induced current in the circuit cannot be determined with insta!!ed plant equipment, and therefore, the associated delay time also does not get subtracted out of the result of the time response test. Further, some test time delay is introduced by the transducer. The transducer is a capacitive device that causes a time lag and for which the current may be assumed to reach zero in four to 4.6 time constants (somewhere between 95 and 98 percent of the total decay curve). This decay time has been measured at two to three times the expected arc suppression time. This transducer
Attachment to U-602605 LS-94-004 Page 7 of 9 delay time can be separately measured and is therefore subtracted from the test result, but some margin must still be included to account for uncertainty in the measurement of the transducer delay time.
To repeat, although there are inaccuracies associated with IP's test method utilized to date, these inaccuracies are accounted for, and appropriate ;
margin is included in the test results. Testing at IP has established that 95 milliseconds is a conservative maximum response time and that this time :
bo.mds the value determincd by the vendor design and testing. Thus, the i breaker is certain to respond whhin the 95 milliseconds that CPS proposes l to assume as the EOC-RPT maximum response time. l
- 5. "Please provide an analysis of the effect of an additional 5 seconds delay in the operation of the breaker on those transients or accidents where the EOC-RPT is required to mitigate the effect of the transient or accident."
Response: As emphasized in IP's submittal, it is expected that a properly maintained EOC-RPT circuit breaker will perform its intended function ofintermpting the current (including suppression of the resultant arc) when opening on demand, in about 50 milliseconds or less. However, as a conservative measure based on the results ofIP's test measurements performed to date, a bounding breaker intermption time of 95 milliseconds can be assumed.
As already noted, a DVP breaker is not expected to fail in a manner that would cause the breaker to open and suppress the resultant arc " slowly." It is therefore unrealistic to consider a 5-second delay (or any prolonged delay) in the operation of the breaker.
If a 5-second delay must be assumed, it should be noted that assuming such a delay time is equivalent to assuming no credit for the EOC-RPT function.
The EOC-RPT breaker interruption time is a component of the total time delay involved in tripping the reactor recirculation pumps in response to pressurization-type transients, i.e., main generator load rejection and turbine trip events. The assumed maximum recirculation pump trip delay time is specified in Chapter 15 of the USAR, Table 15.0-2, " Input Parameters And Initial Conditions For Transients." The total time specified I is equal to or less than 0.14 seconds (140 milliseconds).
As further described in the USAR, an automatic trip of the reactor recirculation pumps is designed to occur in conjunction with a reactor scrim to mitigate the effects of a generator load rejection or a turbine trip.
. Tr pping of the reactor recirculation pumps increases void content in the ;
reactor coolant to offset the reactivity effects of void collapse, and thus I
, ensures that the resultant MCPR remains above an acceptable MCPR limit for such events. The EOC-RPT function (of tripping the reactor
o .
Attachment to U-602605 LS-94-004 Page 8 of 9 recirculation pumps) is expected to occur well within the time frame that the scram is expected to occur. Since control rods are expected to be fully ,
inserted within a time frame ofless than two seconds, assuming a five-second delay in the EOC-RPT response time is tantamount to discounting the EOC-RPT function.
It is acknowledged that the EOC-RPT function is required to mitigate the i effects of design basis events. However, as IP has noted, the proposed i deletion of the surveillance requirement to periodically measure the breaker interruption time will not result in any significant increase in the probability of the EOC-RPT failing to perform its intended function. The breakers have not been shown, and are not expected to degrade in a manner that :
causes them to open and suppress the resultant arc in a slow manner.
Finally, it should again be noted that each reactor recirculation pump has two breakers in series. This further reduces the probability of a " slow" breaker affecting the overall EOC-RPT function, thus making any consideration of the effects of a 5-second delay in breaker operation even ;
more unrealistic.

Subject:
DHP/DVP Breaker inspections ;
Dear George,
. This letter is in response to the Illinois Power inquiry regarding inspection intervals for the types j DHP and DVP circuit breakers. Westinghouse *s position, as spelled out in the existing instruction '
i books, IB 32-253-4A & 4B/38, is presented in the synopsis below.
j This class of power circuit breakers is a protective device to prevent damage to more F expensive apparatus and to maintain continuity of electric power service. To maintain greater j reliability the breaker should be inspected and given all indicated maintenance on a regular i
- schedule.
I l Type DHP and DVP circuit breakers are designed to have a long "in service" life with a 5
minimum of maintenance when operating duty is fairly ordinary or average. Because these t j breakers cre applied in a broad variety of applications under unique combinations of -
- environmental conditions, each having operating duty requirements that can vary widely, it is ;
! virtually impossinle to outline a specific maintenance schedule which would be universally appropriate for all ratings of circuit breakers in all types of applications. ,
The instruction books provide general guidelines for establishing inspection schedules and for !
]' selecting specific maintenance procedures which are recommended to be used when particular conditions are observed. These guides are typified by a minimum number of rigid p requirements to permit persons familiar with circuit breaker operation and maintenance a i
- - maximum amount of flexibility in developing a maintenance program consistent with good operating practices. i
, Actual inspection and maintenance will depend upon individual application conditions. Some ,
i atmosphere conditions such as extremes of dust and moisture or corrosive gases might
. indicate inspection and maintenance at more frequent intervals. Very clean and dry !
- conditions combined with low switching duty will justify longer times between inspection and -i maintenance operations. With experience, each user can set an inspection and maintenance schedule which is best for his particular case.
- f. -
Enclosure 2 to U-602605 LS-94-004 Page 2 of 3 in order to obtain the most effective use of this type of maintenance instructions it is important for the user to establish an inspection program that will permit him to routinely examino each circuit breaker after regularly scheduled interva!s of operation as well as at I discrete times when conditions requiring particular maintenance procedures may be observed.
An initial inspection at the end of tha first year in service is suggested because it provides an opportunity to evaluate conditions at an early point in the life of a circuit breaker. Based on conditions found, realistic decisions car Se made concerning the length of time for succeeding inspection intervals.
As a part of an ongoing inspection / maintenance program some form of record keeping is suggested. Records may consist of a simple diary whose primary purpose is to document that an established inspection / maintenance schedule is actually being followed. However, more completely detailed records will facilitate evaluation of a breaker's condition or its changing condition. Such records may include formal check lists, detailed descriptions of conditions found, notes on operating duty, tests performed, maintenance procedures undertaken, etc. Whether simple records or more complete records are kept is for the user to decide. Records can be very helpfulin determining both the types and extent of maintenance which may be required and in determining whether inspections should be scheduled more or less frequently.
The schedule for routinely inspecting circuit breakers will depend on three inter-related factors.
- 1. Time since the last inspection (per I.B. guidelines).
- 2. Number of load switching operations since the last inspection (Per I.B. guidelines).
- 3. Number of short circuit switching operations since the last inspection (Per I.B. guidelines).
Whichever of these three factors comes up first is the factor which determines when an inspection should be made.
The routine inspection interval should be based either on Time or on the Number of Anticipated Load Current Switching Operations whichever comes first. Superimposed on this routine inspection schedule is the requirement that the breaker must be inspection after an accumulation of a number of short current switching operations if this occurs before the Time or Load Switching Operations interval is completed.
As stated in the "DHP" breaker instruction book, IB 32-253-4A or 4B time intervals after the first initial inspection must not exceed three years. The instruction book, IB 32-253-3B, for the "DVP" breaker, states that this intervalis one year. Illinois Power has asked if the one year interval for ,
the DVP breaker can be extended to match the three year interval of the DHP. This would allow them to perform their inspections at the same time.
The guidelines given in the referenced Westinghouse instruction books (and summarized in the synopsis above) provide the user with the means to justify this extended interval based on his i own recorded experiences, for his breakers. Assuming that Illinois Power has accumulated this I 2
,.' .. . Enclosure 2 to U-602605-LS-94-004 Page 3 o'f:3 ,
actual experience, Westinghouse would not object to their extending the time interval of their DVP breakers to match that of their DHP breakers, I

- Prior to 1990, all b'reakers were tested during each refueling outage even though the Technical Specifications (TS) allowed testing to be done on a staggered test basis such that all trip channels were required to be tested at lead once per 36 months. IP's conservative interpretation of the TS was subsequently relaxed such that each breaker was then tested at a frequency ofonce per every other refueling outage (two per outage). In 1993, An-admant No.
74 to the CPS Operating License was issued which pennitted IP to extend the test interval for the breaker arc suppression measurement test to 60 months (not including allowed overrun).
