DEFECTIVE SPARE WOODWARD GOVERN 0R TO GRAND GULF HPCS DIESEL CENERATOR I. DESCRIPTION OF THE CONDITION Power Systems (division of Morrison-Knudsen) supplied the Grand Gulf Nuclear Station with a spare-governor (Part No. 8240-410) for an HPCS diesel generator which was not actually installed. The Woodward Governor Company, manufacturer of the governor, advised Power Systems of a possibly defective droop lever spring (Part No. 1540-523) in this governor. This spring is part of a manu-facturing lot which is suspected to have been improperly stress relieved. Power Systems subsequently notified General Electric of the condition.
II. SAFET) IMPLICATIONS As a consequence of a spring breakage, the governor causes indication of a minimum availability of fuel to the diesel engine, thus causing a shutdown of the diesel generator. The governor will not function again until the spring is replaced. This deficiency could reduce the capability to reach a safe shutdown under LOCA conditions, if the spare governor had been installed.
III. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS General Electric has notified Mississippi Power & Light (Grand Gulf). As recommended by the Woodward Governor Company, Grand Gulf is returning the spare governor to Power Systems for. replacement of the spring.
