Part 21 - 2003-0031-00 - Initial/Interim Report on Fuel Assembly Bow

FANP is reevaluating their fuel assembly bow analyses for Mark-B and Mark-BW fuel. The ongoing evaluation of the methodology will include additional investigations on the gap size assumed in the analysis. In addition, the entire analytical approach, including the assumptions used, will be evaluated as a whole to determine whether any changes in the methodology are appropriate to ensure adequate safety. No conclusions have been reached by Framatome ANP regarding reportability under Part 21 at this time. The scheduled evaluation completion date is 12/17/2004. Further information regarding this Interim report is available on ADAMS at accession number ML033460173.

Part 21 - 2003-0028-00 - Solid State Protection Master Relay

This Morning Report is being issued due to a safety concern regarding the failure of Master Relay K507 (MidTex Part Number 156-14D200) in the Solid State Protection System (SSPS) at Summer. This failure occurred on 10/03/03 and was reported on 12/01/03 in EN 40364. The failures were attributed to corrosion caused by off-gassing of chlorine contamination from paper used to wrap the relay coil, or the adhesive used to attach the paper wrap to the coil. Another MidTex P/N 156-14D200 relay with a paper wrapped coil was sent to Pentas for followup analysis, and it showed evidence of the same type of corrosion. Therefore, the failure of Master Relay K507 is considered to be a manufacturing defect in a basic component that could cause a loss of safety function.

According to the licensee, the majority of MidTex relays investigated had cloth wrapped coils and these relays showed no evidence of the corrosion found on paper wrapped coils.

Upon energization, master relays must change state to actuate various safety related equipment in the plant. The number of affected relays and installed locations was not available at the time of the initial notification. The NRC staff has requested additional information from the licensee pertaining to this issue and is awaiting a reply. As the licensee provides more information, it will be posted to our webpage.

Information regarding this issue as well as other NRC operating experience is available at: http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/event-status/
