Dear Sir:

SUBJECT:

- _POTENTIALLY. DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIRCUlT BREAKERS The-enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Comission (NRC) Information Notice ~ (IN) 86-46 describes-the~ circumstances under which defective refurbished electrical equip-ment may have been supplied-to nuclear power plants.

Our continuing investiga-

. tion of the,five circuit breaker companies identified.in the IN 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 creakers are sold to 'a-distributor, and it-.was only the-occasional shipment direct to the end-user that permittetr us= to identify the-final government destination.

4 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 b

are reviemeo, we will: provide eny-additional'information that comes to light.

However, since some of the companies have been in' business for as.many as 30' L

-years, a: full historical records search will not be possible.

e The five Californie companies appear to sell surplus new as well.as refurbished breakers.

Ho' wever, their refurbished equipment may be shipped in containers resembling original manufacturer containers.

If there is any additionel infonnetion you require, please call me or Mr.: Walter Haass at (301) 492-3219.

Sincerely, 1
