10 CFR 50.55(e) - Significant Deficiency 1.

Identification of Nonconformance Fuel oil pressure return line broke during operation of the "A" diesel.

2.

N;mbar and Location of Nonconformance XEG 0001 A-DG, Diesel Generater Building 2.

Significant Deficiency Created and Evaluation The fuel oil return lina c, the "A" Emergency L.'esel Generator developed a leak because of mechanical degradation when vibration caused the line to rub against an electrical junction box during operation of the unit.

The pipe supports that would prevent this from happening were missing, broken, or improperly installed at the time of occur rence. The scenario that led to the pipe supports being in this condition is unknoria.

4 Corrective Action The pipe supports on the fuel oil pressure return line are l

to be reinstalled exactly per manufactures' supplied drawings.

Surveillance will be performed on the line to determine if further corrective action is required.
