| Title | Part 21 - Leaking Cylinder Liner in Emergency Diesel Generator |
| Event Description | The following is a summary of the information provided by Engine Systems Inc. (ESI) via facsimile:
An EMD (Brand Name: Electro-Motive Diesel) cylinder liner developed a jacket water leak following installation on an emergency diesel generator set at the James A. Fitzpatrick Nuclear Power Plant. The leak occurred at a brazed joint and was detected after post-installation engine testing. Had the leak gone undetected, jacket water may have accumulated in the combustion chamber, airbox, and/or lubricating oil which could have eventually led to failure of the emergency diesel generator set. ESI was the supplier of the EMD cylinder liner (part number: 9318833, serial number: 20D6294). The EMD cylinder was a component of a Blade Power Pack Assembly, part number: 40124898, serial number: 20L0603 Corrective Actions: ESI will revise the dedication package to include additional verifications to prevent reoccurrence. The revision will be implemented within 30 days. Fitzpatrick returned the power assembly to ESI for replacement and no further action is required from Fitzpatrick. Affected Plants: Fitzpatrick. No other sites known to be affected. The name and address of the individuals reporting this information is: John Kriesel Engineering Manager Engine Systems, Inc.; 175 Freight Rd. Rocky Mount, NC 27804 Dan Roberts Quality Manager Engine Systems, Inc.; 175 Freight Rd. Rocky Mount, NC 27804 |
