i Specifically, the licensee failed to identify and correct inadequacies in their emergency diesel generator (EDG) preventive maintenance program for monitoring engine driven pump seal leakage in accordance with vendor recommendations leading to subsequent accordance with vendor recommendations, leading to subsequent A EDG jacket water seal leakage going unidentified from June 1, 2010, until October 20, 2010. The licensee initiated Condition Report (CR)-10-03861 and implemented additional requirements Report (CR) 10 03861 and implemented additional requirements and operator training to conduct proper seal leakage monitoring during subsequent EDG operations.
