Sequoyah Unit 1 charge converter examination results

Description

The accident at Three Mile Island subjected loose parts monitoring system charge converters to moderate levels of radiation that caused them to fail. Two charge converters exhibiting similar failure symptoms were removed from an operating plant, Sequoyah Unit 1, and examined to determine their failure modes and to estimate the total radiation doses received by each. Radiation degradation of the circuit was found to be highly dependent on the value of a select resistor
