Failures of Mercury-Wetted Matrix Relays in Reactor Protective System of Operating Nuclear Power Plants Designed by Combustion l

Engineering

Dear Sir:

The only application of Mercury-Wetted relays in reactor trip circuitry at Seabrook Station is in the 7300 protection system equipment. These relays are hermetically sealed and not used in matrix logic applications. They are used for temperature channel test inputs from resistor thermal devices and not used in scram circuits.

j If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Very truly yours,
