PART 21 - DEFECT IDENTIFIED IN SINGLE LOOP OPERATION MINIMUM CRITICAL POWER RATIO
The following is a synopsis of information received via facsimile from AREVA:
AREVA identified a defect is in the calculation of the single loop operation (SLO) minimum critical power ratio (MCPR) operating limits for Browns Ferry Units 1, 2, and 3. Specifically, the defect is associated with the usage of non-conservative inputs in the SLO pump seizure analyses for the three plants, which results in non-conservative limits for SLO.
Individual informing the Commission:
Alan B. Meginnis, AREVA Inc., 2101 Horn Rapids Road, Richland, WA 99354.

PART 21 INTERIM REPORT - TEMPERATURE SWITCH SET POINTS OUT OF CALIBRATION
On June 19, 2014, United Controls International (UCI) issued a Return Material Request to Florida Power and Light, Turkey Point. It was discovered that a tool used in the verification of the temperature switch set points was out of calibration during the impact analysis of the out of tolerance condition these switches were identified as needing to be returned for adjustment and re-testing.
At this time, UCI is unable to complete our evaluation into the possible effects the out-of-calibration tool had on the temperature switches. Florida Power and Light has not returned the items to UCI for evaluation and rework. June 4, 2014, is the date on which the information of such defect or failure to comply was obtained.
