Dear Sir or Madam:
SUBJECT:
POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE REFURBISHED CIRCUIT BREAKERS The enclosed Nuclear Regulatory Coninission (NRC) Infonnation Notice (IN) 88-46 oescribes the circumstances under w".ich defective refurbished electrical equip-ment may have been supplied to nuclear power plants. Our continuing investiga-tion of the five circuit breaker companies identified in the IN shows that the companies have shipped breakers to a number of government facilities and agencies. Our review of a sample of invoices indicates that generally the l breakers are sold to a distributor, and it was only the occasional shipment I direct to the end user that permitted us to identify the final government destination.
I have enclosed a copy of an invoice that identifies your agency as the customer. This document results from our review of a selection of records spanning the last two or three years from all of the companies. As other records are reviewed, we will provide any additional information that comes to light. However, since some of the companies have been in business for as many as 30 years, a full hi.ttorical records search will not be possible.
The five California companies appear to sell surplus new as well as refurbished breakers. However, their refurbished equipment may be shipped in containers resembling original manufacturer containers.
If there is any additional information you require, please call me or Mr. Walter Haass at (301) 492-3219.
Sincerely, /
p n.m rian K. Grimes, Director Division of Reactor Inspection and Safeguards Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation
