Failure of Nuclear Service River Water Pumps / Motors Five categories of difficulties had been encountered in the pre-operational testing of the three nuclear service river water pumps and motorst a.

Excess vibration b.

Broken pump shaft Corroded bearing cooling water filters c.

d.

Movement of foundation e.

Cracking of motor bearing support Each p' ump had been operated for several months without dif ficulty.

The problems encountered were analyzed, and engineering chaages made.

At the time of the inspection one pump was in operatica, another was operable and on " standby". Repairs to the third pt=p were underway with cc=pletion scheduled for April 7, 1974.

The changes made were documented, and appeared to insure future re-liable operation.
