Subject:

Event Number 5346, reported at 2048 EST on 06/20/18 To whom it may concern, A notification was submitted to the Commission with the subject matter of, "Unapproved Design Change in a High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter." At this time, the evaluation is pending third part qualification testing of the product. Information obtained from the qualification will be used in the determination of a defect. AAF Flanders had anticipated this process to have been completed by Sept 15, 2018 but because it is still on-going, we request an extension until October 31, 2018 to submit a final report to the Commission.

The subject filters (model number 0-007-C-42-03-NU-11-13-GG FU5) supplied to Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)/ Xcel Energy had not been installed. AAF Flanders has recalled the subject filters and currently have them segregated and stored at our facility. They pose ho threat public safety.
