Dear Mr. Starostecki:
Enclosed is an interim report, in accordance with 10CFR50.55(e), for the problem concerning excessive vibrations in the low pressure fuel oil supply lines of Division I and II standby diesel generators.
This problem was reported via tel-con to G. Meyer of your staff on May 8,1986.
Very truly yours, C. V. Mangan Senior Vice President CVM/GG/cla (1591H)

NIAGARA M0 HAWK POWER CORPORATION NINE MILE POINT - UNIT 2 DOCKET N0. 50-410 Interim Report for a Problem Concerning Damaged Fuel Lines in Divisions I and II Diesel Generators (55(e)-86-07)
Description of the-Problem The problem concerns the low pressure fuel oil supply line from the fuel oil filter to the engine fuel oil supply header.
During testing and inspection activities for Divisions I and II standby diesel generators at the NMP2 site, it was observed that the low pressure fuel oil supply line vibrates excessively.
In Division I diesel 2EGS*EG1, two holddown clamps were damaged and subsequently a pin-size leak developed in the fuel line.
In the case of Division II diesel 2EGS*EG3, surface damage was observed on the fuel line at a point where it came in contact with a 1-in. tube line.
Analysis of Safety Implications The cause of excessive vibrations in the fuel supply line is believed to be the inadequate support / clamp arrangement for the supply line configuration.
In the worst case scenario, it is possible that damage to the fuel supply line could have prevented the diesel (s) from performing their intended safety function.
Therefore, if this condition were to have remained uncorrected, it could have adversely affected the safety of operations of the power plant.
Corrective Action This problem is still under investigation.
A final report will be submitted by July 1,1986.
