BACKGROUTID This circular addresses a potential deficiency involving the field leads of generators r.anufactured by Beloit Power Systems.
It is known that the subject generators have been couoled with Fairbanks Morse diesel engines for use in nuclear power facilities; however, it is not known whether they have been couoled with other diesel enaines for such use. Accordingly, the intent of this circular is to notify all nuclear power facilities of the potential defect and to assure that appropriate remedial actions are taken, if needed.
The fluclear Regulatory Commission was first informed of the potential defect by a phone call from Mr. R. H. Beadle of the Fairbanks Morse Engine Division of Colt Industries to Mr. D. W. Hayes of Region III on September 19, 1980.
On September 20, 1980, a conference call was held between the fiRC Duty Officer, i
personnel from Prairie Island fiuclear Power Station, ifr. Beadle of Fairbanks Morse and Mr. C. Evenson of Beloit > ' wer Systems, the principal spokesman.
The purpose of this cail was to describe an inspecticn method which Prairie i
Island personnel could use to examine the field lead assemblies of their gen-erators for the potential defect.
(L'e have since been informed by the Resident Inspector that the field lead assemblies of the Prairie Island generators did not have the suspected defects.)
In order to disseninate this infornation on a timely basis, the flRC Duty Officer at Bethesda called those operating facilities which he knew were using the suspect generators on Septenber 20 and 21,1980. The information conveyed included a description of the potential defect and a description of the aforenentioned inspection method.
The operating facilities called were:
