' ATTACHMENT I RESPONSE TO APPENDIX A N
h VIOLATION 10 CPR 50, Appendix D, Critorion XI, Test Control, requires that test proceduros include provisions for assuring that all prerequisites for a given test have been met.
Colt Industrios, Fairbanks Morse Engine Division diesel engine startup procedure requires that cooling water flow be' established and verified prior to running the omorgency diocol engino, s
Contrary to the above, on April 10, 1984, the vendor dionol engine startup procedure was not offectively implomonted when the
'C' Emerg'ency Diesel Gonorator was started without adequately assuring that the proroquisite cooling. water flow was established and verified and the engine'was run for approximately 11 minutos, including 4 minutes at fully loaded conditions.
RESPONSE
Steps were taken immediately after this occurrence
.to identify to all parties associated with the operation of the diesel generators the minimum requirements which must be satisfied prior to diesel start.
Upon completion of these minimum requirements, the diosol generator was restarted and operated satisfactorily, including a test run at 100%' loaded conditions.
The minimum requirements needed to start the diesel i
. generator have.now been documented'in a checklist (other than the list-in the Plant Operating Proceduros) identifying required support systems and valve positions.
This checklist has been distributed to the appropriate plant operating personnel.
This is considered an isolated instance considering the number of times the diesel generator has been run.
Current Plant Operating Procedures, established communications between Shift Personnel and Startup Engineers, and the methodology of testing should preclude recurrence of this condition in the future.
