Subject:

NRC Region I Combined Inspection

50-387/89-30;

50-388/89-27

The enclosed

report documents

a routine safety inspection

conducted

by

inspectors

of this office on September

10,

1989

October

14,

1989, at the

Susquehanna

Steam Electric Station

(SSES),

Salem Township,

Pennsylvania.

The,

inspection

covered plant operations,

surveillance,

and maintenance

for both

units.

At the conclusion of the inspection,

Mr.

G. Barber

summarized

the

inspection findings to Mr. R.

Byram and other

members of your staff.

The

NRC reviewed your response

and corrective actions related to the diesel

failures that occurred

on September

16 and October

8.

We noted that you took

immediate actions to replace

the

damaged

pistons

and cylinder liners-and

focused your attention

on promptly restoring both the "B" and "C" diesel

generators

to an operable

status.

We also reviewed your plans to determine

.the root cause of these failures.

The

NRC is concerned that the cause

of the

crankcase

vapor ignitions may be due to

a generic failure mechanism

in the

Cooper-Bessemer

diesels.

We encourage

you to expedite your root cause

identification and corrective action determination

and to inform us in

writing of the results.

Your cooperation with us in this matter is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Onginal Signed
