SUBJECT:

Docket Nos. 50-317 and 50-318; Violation of Tec.bnical Specification 3.8.1.1 LER Nos. 80-37 (U-1) and 80-35 (U-2)

This recort is to confirm our verbal notification to Mr. Richard Keisig, of your office, as required bv Technical Specification 6.9.1.8 (Premiot Notification with written follow-up) of the tecnnical inoperability of

!31,12, and 21 emergency diesel generators (T.S. 3.8.1.1) because of the lack of seismic qualification for portions of their air ' start systems.

The event and cause descriptions are as follows.

At C930 the plant was notified by our Engineerino "eparhnt that the instru vmt tubino connecting the air start system headers to six pressure switches (two per diesel) :nonitoring air receiver prassure were not seisnically qualified. At 0940 fil,12, and 21 diesel cenerators i

were started thereby insuring their operability until the non-seismically 1 cualified portions of the system could be isolated. This was accccrolished i at 1105 and all three diesels were shutdown. With the pressure switches, i

which r.aintain the air receivers charged by controlline their associated j air cemoressors, isolated each air receiver pressure is beine logoed hourly and the c&nressors are being coerated =anually as recuired.  :

Modiftcations necessary to uegrade the instrument tubing to seismic qualification are being perforced. Procress toward cecoletien of these modifications will be described in the follow-up recort.
