Dear Mr. Hart
SUBJECT:
POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIRCUlT' BREAKERS The enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Information Notice (IN) 88-46 describes the circumstances under which defective refurbished electrical equip-ment 'may: have been supplied to nuclear power plants. Our continuing investiga-tion.cf the five circuit breaker companies identified in the IN:shows'that the companies have shipped breakers to a number of government facilities and agencies, i
Our review of a sample of invoices indicates that generally the breakers-are sold to e distributor, andLit was only the occasional shipment direct to the end
- user th6t permitted us to identify the final government destination.
I-have enclosed a copy of an invoice and order-that identifies your agency as the customer.
These documents represent our review of a selection of recoros spanning the last two or three years from all of the companies. As other recorcs are reviewed, we will provide any additional information that comes to light.
~
.However, since some of the companies have been in business for as many as.30
- years, e full historical recoros search will not be possib~1e.-
The five California, companies appear to sell surplus new as well as refurbished i
brea ke rs. 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 haass at (301) 492-3219.
