U. Potapova, Chief, Vendor Programa Branch, Region IV FROM:

R. F. Warnick, Director, Office of Special Cases

SUBJECT:

REQUEST FOR FOLLOWUP ON POTENTIALLY GENERIC PROBLEM REGaRDING TRANSAMERICA DELAVAL DIESEL GENERATOR EnlAIIST ~!ILENCERS Enclosed is a memorandum from R. Cook of my staff identifying a problem with the Midland Diesel Generator Exhaust Silencers not being designed and fabricated as being safety-related/ seismic Category I qualified.

Mr. Cook's memorandum also points out that Transa.4rica Delaval had stated to Consumers Power Company (CPCo) that although they had provided safety-related equipment to other nuclear sites, they did not consider the silencers to be performing an active safety-related function. Also included as part of this enclosure is a note from D. Hood, NRR, to E. Jordan, IE, containing pages of the ASLB Hearing session of July 29, 1963, which documented thic same subject and a letter from Isham, Lincoln,

& Beale (attorneys for CPCo) to the ASLB, further clarifying the silencer "Q-ness."

Region III requests the Vendor Program Branch to evaluate the generic aspects of this problem including applicability to other diesel generator vendors and the applicability of 10 CFR 21 reporting requirements for Transamerica Delaval.

Should you have additional questions concerning this matter please contact J. Harrison (3b4-2635) of my staff.
