OCRE'S NEN"E SET OF INmdD ATORIES 'IO APPLICANTS Intervenor Chio Citizens for Responsible Energy ("CCRE") hereby files its eleventh set of interrogatories to Applciants, pursuant to 10 CPR

~

2.740b and the Licensing Board's December 23, 1983 Mscrandum and Order (New Contention of Diesel Generators)..

Interrocatories: Issue #16 Statement of Purrose: . 'Ihe follcuing interrogatories are designed to provide clarification to so:te of Applicants' responses to OCRE's tenth set of inter-rogatories and to infonration presented ac the Jan. 26,1984 neeting between the NRC Staff and TDI DG Owners (see Staff Report, dated Feb, 2, 1984) and in various Board Noti'fications.

11-1. In Applicants' response to OCRE Interrogatory 10-10, it is stated that TDI was selected on the basis of quality, reliability, and experience.

(a)' At the time of the award of the contract to TDI, had TDI manufactured any DGs for use as standby power units in nuclear facilities? If so, list the facilities, and date of installation and operation of the DGs.

(b) Did Applicants (or any of their agents) at any tine contact any users

~,

of 'IDI diesel engines (including non-nuclear users, e.g. , ship owners) for their exnerience with TDI's quality and reliability?

- - - ~ ~

If so, list all users so contacted, and produce any correspondence, If no contacts were made, notes, etc. concerning such contact. .

why not?

11-2, Enclosure 3 to the Staff Peport dated Feb. 2, 1984, p. 3 of the attachment concerning Region IV Inpsection Findings at TDI, item #8, states that "a QA program was not imposed on the manufacturer of exhaust silencers for EDGs furnished to Perrf, Uni *J 1 and 2, as required by Perry Specification No. SP-750-4549-00 and SP-706-4549-00."

(al khen and hcw did Applicants.becczne aware of this deficiency?

(Bi Wnat has been determined to be the cause of th'e deficiency? .

(c) What corrective actions were taken as a result?

11- 3.

Enclosure 4,'the transcript of the meeting of Jan. 26, 1984, at p. 18 refers to the absence of any documented provisions for control of installation of fuel oil line clamps; this is considered by the Staff to be a generic problem.

(a)

Khen and how did Applicants beccme aware of this deficiency?

~

(b) What corrective actions have been taken?

. 11-4 What corrective actions are planned by' Applican+a to avoid cylinder head cracks, which have plagued Shoreham, Grand Gulf, and marine users of TDI diesel engines? -

11-5. (al khat style piston (AF, AN, or AE) is used in the PNPP DGs?

Provide (b)

Have the pistons been relieved of all stress raisers?

~

documentation of this.

(c)

Nasthepistoncrean-skirtseoarationproblem(asoccurredat Grand Gulf) been investigated for the PNPP DGs? Are they Khat corrective actions are planned?

susceptible to this problem?

(d)

Have the pistons been heat treated in accordance with the appropriate specifications? P. 88 of Enclosure 4, the transcript of the Jan.

26, 1984 neeting, mentions a Part 21 problem with heat treating.

Explain the nature of this problem and hcw it affects the PSPP DGs; include any corrective acti.ns planned, 11-6. Wnat are the N nsions of the diesel engine cylinder liner, specifically, the lip, and of the cylinder bleck counterbore?

Include dimensions of a'l fillets and radii, Are there any drilled holes or stud threading terminatiing at the same level as the counterbore in the block?

11-7'.' Does TDI have different? personnel, equipnent, and quality standards and' practices for engines to be used in nuclear safety-related applications as opposed to non-nuclear projects (e.g., marine uses)? Document any such differences, 11-8 To what extent are the Perry engines similar to the V-16 TDI engines used in the State of Alaska's M/V Columbia? Document the major differences between the PNPP and M/V Columbia engines.

11-9, Regarding the Design Feview/ Quality Revalidation Program set forth

. Iby the TDI Owners Group at the Jan. 26, 1984 meeting with the NBC:

(al Do Applicants endorse this program and intend to implement it for the PNFP DGs?'

(b) Will the identification and selection of parts for review be based exclusively en the TDI parts list?

(c) Will the design / quality' review of ccmponents in the PNPP engines identified fram the TDI parts list as ccrmon to' the lead engines (Shoreham and Grand Gulf) as well be based exclusively on the lead engine reviews (i.e.,' cumen parts on lead engines are considered representative for all; no PNPP-unique review will be done)?

~.

(dl Will the quality revalidation of ccruponents rely exclusively on

- spare or replacement parts (and not on parts actually used in

the engines) unless the spares are unavailable?

(e) Will the Perry engines be in.spected to ensure that the parts ideittified on the TDI parts list and the spare /replacemnt parts are in fact identical to those used in the PNPP DGs?

(f) Given the repetitive deficiencies of TDI in the area of part/

cenponent identification, traceability, and standardization (e.g., experiences of the State of Alaska with the MN Colu2ia, described in BN-84-018), p.tstify any uncritical use of TDI data '('e.g., parts list) and any reliance on the quality of spare / replacement parts or conditions in other TDI engines as a substitute 'for the ccrrplete dismantling, inspecf. ion, and testing of each PNPP diesel engine to determine the quality thereof.

'11-10. (a) Do Applicants have any plans to ever replace the TDI DGs with those frcm another manufacturer in PNPP Unit l?

(b) In Unit 2?

(c) If not, why not?

(d) Is this an option in the Design Review / Quality Revalidation Program?

11-11 '(a) Do Applicants share the opinion voiced at the Jan. 26, 1984 meeting (.see Tr. 46-47) that the Owners Group Design Review /

Quality Revalidation Program will be successful? If so, what 1 .

is the basis for this optimism? -

(b). Waat.is meant by " success" of the program? What criteria and standards are used to define 'isuccess"of the program?

(c) If the program is not successful, what actions will be taken?

(d). Mcw many failures or quality deficiencies are necessary before N Applicants or the Owners Group will conclude that TDI diesel engines are unreliable and unfit for nuclear service? I ,'e . ,

'is there any nu 2er or type of failure considered unacceptable?

~ ~ '

11-12. hhat influence do cost / schedule factors (i.e. delay of fuel load or power operation) have on the Design Feview/ Quality Revalidation Program and on decisions or conclusions made during that program?

11-13. Is the Design review / Quality Pavalidation Program only a program to deEnnine interim reliability, or is it intended to justify the use of TDI DGs for the entire life of the plant?

~

11-14. (a) Wil'1 the Design Review / Quality Revalidation Program attenpt to 4 -

, .r . .

find the root chuse of TDI engine unreliability?

(b) If so, expldin how this is to be acccruplished, j 1

'(c) - If not, why not?

(.d) .If soj Wat effect will this deternination have on the final

. decision regarding the acceptability of TDI engines?

'11E15. (a) htat-role will TDI personnel have in the Design Review / Quality Revalidation Program?

. . . 1 (b) To what extent will TDI personnel be responsible for evaluating the ad;quacy of their own products?
