i Omalla Public Power District 1623 Harney Omaha. Nebraska 68102 402/536-4000 January 31, 1985 LIC-85-024 Mr. Darrell G. Eisenhut, Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation Division of Licensing U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, DC 20555
Reference:
(1) Docket No. 50-285 (2) Generic Letter 83-41, dated December 16, 1983 (3) Letter OPPD (W. C. Jones) to NRC (D. G. Eisenhut) dated January 6,1984 (LIC-84-002)
(4) Generic Letter 84-15, dated July 2, 1984 (5) Letter OPPD (R. L. Andrews) to NRC (D. G. Eisenhut) dated December 28, 1984 (LIC-84-413)
Dear Mr. Eisenhut:
Fast Cold Starts of Diesel Generators Generic Letter 83-41 Reference 2 contained a voluntary request for infomation concerning the fast cold starts of diesel generators (i.e., starts with rapid acceleration and loading without prelubrication and wamup).
In Reference 3, the District provided a response to Reference 2 which stated that Fort Calhoun's emergency diesel generators are provided with prelubrication and wamup capabilities.
The Fort Calhoun diesel generators are kept warm by a water jacket inmersion heater and a lube oil pump which circulates oil when the generator is not op-erating.
For these reasons, the District concluded that the concerns of NRC Generic Letter 83-41 were not applicable to Fort Calhoun Station.
Subsequently, the Omaha Public Power District received Reference 4.
This letter requested that certain information regarding diesel generator relia-bility be submitted.
In order to respond to this request, considerable research was conducted and numerous conversations were held with the manu-facturer of the Fort Calhoun diesel generators. Through these conversations it was ascertained that although the diesel generators are kept warm and are equipped with a lube oil heater, these items are not sufficient to eliminate the stresses associated with fast cold starts.

' As Reference (5) subsequently provided more detailed information on diesel gener-ator reliability at the Fort Calhoun Station, no separate response to Reference (2) is now required.
