BLRD-50-438/85-19, BLRD-50-439/85-19 OVERHEATING OF TDI-DIESEL GENERATOR CONTROL PANELS NCR BLN MEB 8504 10 CFR 50.55(e)

FIRST INTERIM REPORT Description of Deficiency i

j TVA was notified by Transamerica Delaval, Incorporated (TDI) (Oakland, i

California), of a potential problem with equipment overheating in the standby diesel generator. control panels for Bellefonte Nuclear Plant (BLN). The deficiency is a result of inadequate provisions for ventilation of the i

generator control panel. Overheating of the generator control panel can cause the linear reactor, which is a component of the control panel, to fail causing the control panel circuit breakers to trip which renders the standby diesel generator inoperable.

i Interim Progress l

TVA has received preliminary design information from TDI on installing 1

additional ventilation in the generator control panels. TDI requested j

additional information from TVA in order to complete their design work. TVA j

is researching TDI's request and will furnish this information to TDI when available. We anticipate providing our next report on or by November 22, 1985.
