SUBJECT:
POTENilALLY DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIRCUlT BREAKERS The enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Information Notice-(!N) 88-46 o
dese.ribes the circumstances uncer which defective refurbished electrical equip-
- ment may have been supplied to nuclear power plants. Our continuing investiga-tion of the five circuit breaker compa7ies identified in-the-.!N shows that the-
- companies have shipped breakers to a number of. government facilities and agencies.
Our review of a Lsample of invoices inoicates that generally the breakers ;are sold to a distributor, and it was only the occasional shipment direct to the end user that permitted us to identify the final government destination.
k;have enclosed-a-copy of an invoice that ioentifies your agency as the r
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 reviewec, we' will-provide any additional information that comes to light.
d,
'However, since some of the companies have-been in business for as many as 30 Lyears, a' full historical records search'will not be possible.

The five: California companies appear to sell _ surplus new as well as refurbishec breakers.. However, their refurbished equipment may be shipped in containers
. resembling original manufacturer containers.

-If.there is any-additional information you require, please call me or Mr. Walter H6ess at (301) 492-3219.
