Rotork Controls, a vendor of electric valve actuators, reported a
potential for distortion of add-on moulded components, causing control
switches to reset or fail to operate, in extreme circumstances. This
applies to Type NA1 electric valve actuators fitted with an Add-on-Pak 1
(AOP1) assembly, manufactured between 1978 and October 2001 and that have
a safety function and are used for end of travel indication. The
circumstances for this potential distortion are (1) that the actuator is
held in the fully open or closed condition and the AOP1 is set between
zero 3.5-7.5 percent of end of travel, depending on the gear ratio, and
(2) that the temperature of the AOP1 components is maintained above 80C
(176F) for more than 10 minutes.

SOURCE DOCUMENT: LETTER             REVIEWER: RORP, I. Jung

ASCO, a vendor of valve actuators, reported potential operational
difficulties with certain pumps supplied in pump kits and intended for
installation in NH95 Model B Hydramotor actuators. The vendor was
notified by Framatome ANP, the Clinton licensee, and the Palo Verde
licensee of excessive recycling of the pump, meaning actuation and
de-actuation of the pump to maintain the powered position of the actuator
shaft, during testing.
