Dear Sir:
i o -
SUBJECT:
POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIRCUlT BREAKERS
-.The enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) Infonnation Notice (IN) 86-46
. describes the circumstances under which cefective refurbished electrical equip--
J ment may have.been supplieo to nuclear power plants.
Our continuing investige-tion of the five circuit breaker companies ioentified in the lh shows that the-companies have shipped breakers to a number of government facilities and agencies.
Our review of a sample of invoices indicates that generally the breakers are-sold to a distribuer, and it was only the occasional shipment' direct to the eno l
user'that permitted us to identify the-final government destination.
~
-I.have. enclosed a copy of an invoice that identifies your agency as the
- customer. 'These documents represent our review of a selection of records spanning the'last two or three years from all of the companies.
As other records
. are reviewed, we will provide any additional infonnation that comes to light.
~
However,'since some of the companies have-been in business for as many as 30 years.,a-full historical records search will not be possible.
The five' California companies appear to sell surplus new as well.as refurbished breakers. However, their-refurbished equipment may be shipped in containers -
- resembling original ~ manufacturer containers.
i If there is any additionel information you require, please call me or Mr. Walter Haass at (301) 492-3219.
Sincerely,
/
