4. Technical Justification (use for "Accept-As-Is". "Repair" or "Other")

HydroAire made the assumption that Palisades would invoke part 21 under their QA program following USNRC guideline Section 21.2, Para (c) .This assumption was further supported by the corrective action request LO-CAR-2009-00103 initiated by Entergy dated 10/05/09, which was addressing the failure of P-7C service water pumps at Palisades.

1. A) DESCRIPTION OF NONCONFORMANCE; Palisades informed HydroAire via telephone conversation that a service water pump serial No P-7C failed during operation causing" loss of service water". Upon disassembly it was detected a coupling (2nd from the top) fractured and caused this failure.

B) RECOMMENDATION; Perform needed evaluations to find the cause for this failure of the coupling and determine the root cause. Notify appropriate individuals/groups of the findings and recommendations coming out of the root cause study.

Form a review team to determine and analyze the root cause. Update this Corrective action report upon completion.

INITIATED BY: Nick Dagres , Operations Manager - DATE: 09130109

2. CAUSE OF NONCONFORMANCE; Root cause analysis will determine the cause for non conformance/failure.

3. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO BRING BACK TO CONFORMANCE; To be determined after completion of root cause analysis.

4. CORRECTIVE ACTION TO PREVENT RECURRENCE; To be determined after review of root cause analysis.

5. REVIEW/COMMENTS OF INITIATOR:

Part 21 Report ability:

None required at this time. Internal record search indicates, threaded coupling design was only manufactured for Palisades only. In other words, HydroAire never supplied threaded coupling to any other nuclear utility other than Palisades.

HydroAire assumes that Palisades will invoke part 21 under their QA program following USNRC guideline Section 21.2, Para 4 (c).
