Dear Mr. Keppler:

INTERIM 10CFR50.55 (e)/21 REPORT NO. U-66 CALLAWAY PLANT UNIT 1 On November 23, 1983, Union Electric reported a 10CFR50.55 (e)/21 deficiency to Paul Pelke, NRC Region III.

The deficiency involves the failure of contactor coils in ITE Gould Motor Control Center two-speed starters for Containment Cooling Fan Motors.

The failure involves the slow speed 42S coils, four of which have failed (shorted) after operating for a period between thirty minutes and one hour of service.

Special efforts were made to assure these coil failures were not caused by the mechanical interlock failure reported in Report No. U-65.

Union Electric has requested Bechtel to provide infor-mation on the failure and to determine if a generic problem exists with the contactor coil.

ITE Gould will be contacted to provide information pertinent to the failure.

A final report on this issue is expected to be submitted within 90 days of the date of this letter.

Very truly yours, l/

b?

Donald F.
