Title	Diesel Fuel Injectors Failed a Pressure Test
Event Description	The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) recently identified that three (3) fuel injectors that were to be used on the 3A Emergency Diesel Generator failed a pressure test. Corrective Action Program documents were written to document the failure of the fuel injectors to pass a pressure test and to require performance of an engineering evaluation of the condition. It was concluded that this condition has the potential to constitute a reportable condition pursuant to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), 10 CFR 21, 'Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance,' and, as such, requires additional evaluation. The TVA is working with Engine Systems, Inc., to determine the cause of failure of the fuel injectors. At this time, the evaluation is not expected to be complete until May 31, 2013. Pursuant to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR 21.21(a)(2), if the evaluation of the deviation or failure to comply potentially associated with a substantial safety hazard cannot be completed within 60 days (i.e. by March 23, 2013), an interim report must be submitted to the NRC. Name and Address of the Individual Making the Interim Report: Mr. K. J. Polson Vice President Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant Tennessee Valley Authority Post Office Box 2000 Decatur, Alabama 35609-2000. Identification of the firm supplying the basic component which fails to comply or contains a defect (under evaluation): Engine Systems, Inc (ESI) 175 Freight Road Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27804.
