MEMORANDUM FOR: Neal E. Abrams, Counsel for Labor & Personnel Operations and Administration Division OELD THRU:
Mark Williams,. Chief Technical Assistance Program Management Group Division of Licensing FROM:
Mayo Carrington Technical Assistance Program Management Group Division of Lic~1 sing
SUBJECT:
DL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROJECT WITH PACIFIC NORTHWEST LABORATORY (PNL) - POTENTIAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST The Division of Licensing has established a project with PNL to obtain assistance in the technical evaluation of Transamerica Delaval Inc. (TDI) diesel engine reliability and operability.
PNL was authorized to begin work on the project February 22, 1984. We later learaed, and PNL has now informed us by letter, that they have anotner project for work involving TDI diesel engines. The issue of a potential conflict of interest, there-fore, exists. An ELD opinion on this issue is requested.
A copy of the DL letter and NRC Fom 173 authorizing the work at PNL, and a copy of the Statement of Work are enclosed. A copy of the NRC Form 367, DOE Source Selection Justification is enclosed to provide additional back-ground information. The PNL letter notifying us of their other project involving TDI diesel engin.1, wit attached background information, is also enclosed.
From a technical point of view, the.two projects are sufficiently disparate that there does not appear to be a potential for conflict of interest.
The other PNL project, which is being done for the Maritime Administration for Research and Development, uses TDI diesel engines as test beds for cylinder liners and piston rings develc, ped by a third party.
TDI is a subcontractor to PNL to obtain performance of the tests in various TDI engines.
This work has no apparent technical pertinence or relationship to the project PNL is conducting for DL.
Also, the diesel engine technical expertise for the latter project is being provided by subcontracts with national and international authoriti.e.s/ consultants on diesel engine design, manufacture and operation, rather than by PNL personnel.
Because of the nature of this issue and the fact that work on the DL preiect is on-going, your response by May 18, would be most helpful.

SUMMARY
OF BATTELLE SUBCONTRACT B-B0195 WITH TRANSAMERICA DELAVAL, INC. (TDI)
Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDI) is under subcontract to Battelle to evaluate special silir.on carbide (sic)-impregnated cylinder liners and piston rings prepaced by Laystall Engineering Company Ltd. of England for generic diesel service with heavy petroleum fuels.
This effort does not involve depend-ability tests of TDI engines.
The activity is supported by the Maritime Administration for Research and Development (MARAD) of the Department of Transpe,tation, via the Department of Energy and its operating contract with Battelle for the Pacific Northwest Laboratory.
The PNL staff supervising this effort are not involved in the NRC activity.
Battelle awarded the subject subcontract to TDI on 25 Nov 1981, at a firm fixed price of $30,705.
The completion date was September 30, 1983.
In October 1983, the term of the subcontract was er. tended to December 31, 1984, ard the fixed price was increased to $32,985.
Attached is a copy of the Statement of Work.
In our opinion, there is no real or apparent conflict between Batte11e's work for NRC and that for MARA Fassociated with the subcontract described above.
Very truly yours, Y
