| Title | Part 21 - Deviation to Qualified Design |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of information provided by Flowserve - Limitorque via email:
Entergy Waterford 3 informed Flowserve - Limitorque on 10/5/2022 that it discovered that a Peerless 125 volt, 25ft-lb, 56 frame direct current (DC) motor had two fasteners securing the brush holder ring assembly to the motor frame. However, the DC motor assembly used in the qualification test program was assembled with 4 fasteners. Therefore, the use of two fasteners is a deviation to the qualified design. Flowserve is submitting this report as an interim report and is evaluating this deviation to determine whether this condition could potentially affect the safety related function of DC powered Limitorque actuators. Flowserve is continuing to work with the motor original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to refine the scope of potentially affected motors. Limitorque actuators equipped with Peerless - Winsmith DC electric motors with start torque ratings of 40 ft-lb and larger are not affected by this issue. Limitorque actuators equipped with alternating current (AC) powered electric motors are not affected by this issue. The evaluation is expected to be completed by 01/27/2023. If there are questions, or addition information is required, please contact Chris Shaffer, Quality Assurance Manager, Flowserve Corporation, Ph: (434) 522-4136. Known affected plant: Waterford 3 Nuclear Generating Station |
