Washington, D.C. 20059 Re: Long Island Lighting Company; Shoreham Nuclear Power Station, Unit 1, Dock 3t No. 50-322-OL Gentlemen:

In the context of Suffolk County's motion to admit supple-mental diesel generator contentions, I am enclosing for your information a Memorandum of the Licensing Board in Texas Utilities Generating Company, et al. (Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2), dateTJanuary 31, 1984. By this Memorandum, the Licensing Board raised within the confines of a contention regard-ing quality assurance at Comanche Phak matters concerning the adequacy of the Transamerica Delaval diesel generators at that facility.

We believe that this action is directly relevant to the Shoreham licensing proceeding.

Sincerely yours, 8402210113 840215 PDR ADOCK 05000322PDR Alan Roy D ner G

' TEXAS UTILITIES GENERATING COMPANY, el al. (Application for Operating License)

(Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2) January 31, 1984 MEMORANDUM (Adequacy of Record: Deleval Diesel Generators)

The Board is concerned that our record is inadequate to dispose of the . quality assurance t.entention without further evidence about the adequacy of the qua.lity assurance program with respect to Transamerica Deleval diesel generators. We note that the Staff's analysis of the failure of the main crankshaft of the Deleval generator at the Shoreham

nuclear power plant has called into questien the adequacy of the quality assurance program of Deleval l and suggested that problems with Deleval generators may be generic, being therefore applicable to those installed at Comanche Peak. In -this proceeding, we also have received testimony 1

e o Diesel Generators: 2' from Ms. Darlene Kaye Stiner concerning the inadequacy of quality assurance for welds on the Deleval diesel generators.2 Consequently, the Board requests the Appiicants and Staff to file, with reasonable speed, information concerning: (1) the adequacy of the quality assurance program at Comanche Peak to detect design or construc-tion problems in Deleval generators, (2) the frequency and seriousness of problems with these generators at Comanche Peak, and (3) whether the generators are adequate to assure the public safety. Although these are serious safety matters, they are directly related to an admitted conten-tion and we do not consider 'it appropriate to declare this to be a sua sponte issue.
