Subject:

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 I not used in scram circuits. j If you require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

1 Very truly yours, l
