  • FILE: 0.4.9.102 SERIAL: 32077 On October 10, 1984, Consumers Power Company (CP Co) notified your staff of a reportable condition concerning Rosemount 1153 series B transmitters.

Concurrence was received on November 15 from W Shafer of.your staff to extend the submittal date of this written report to November 21, 1984. Pending resolution of our discussion with the staff on our request to waive the requirement to submit a written 30-day 50.55(e) report during the project shutdown, we have prepared this interim report on the above subject.

Description of Concern CP Co received a 10CFR21 report from Rosemount, Inc. The report indicated that 1153 series B transmitters, manufactured and shipped after January 10, 1984, have a potential leak path in the seal of the threads between the sensor module and the electronics housing. This leak path could allow moisture to enter the housing during abnormal operating conditions and cause the trans-mitter to stop functioning. Rosemount identified four units, by serial number, which had been shipped to the Midland Energy Center.

Safety Impact The safety impact of this condition is indeterminate.

Root Cause No root cause has been determined for this condition.
