VIA TELECOPIER Alan R. Dynner, Esq.

Kirkpatrick & Lockhart 1900 M Street, N.W.

8th Floor Washington, D.C. 20036 Diesel Settlement Dear Alant In response to JLdge Brenner's suggestion, we discussed the possibility of further diesel testing with the highest levels of LILCO's management. As a result of those discussions, we are authorized to send you the enclosed settlement proposal. As it reflects, the Company is willing to conduct additional diesel testing and in-spections. Any comitments on LILCO's part, however, will only be made if we receive assurances from all parties that successful completion of the tests and inspections will completely resolve all outstanding diesel issues.

We believe that the atta:hed proposal forms the basis for just such a comprehensive settlement agreeme,nt.

We look foreard to hearing from you no later than Tuesday so that we can pursue negotiations i=ediately and be in a position to report to the Board by the end of the week.

Sincerely, 8906130120 850222 I ,h

I Elements of e Diesel Generator Settlement

1. LILCO will agree to perform an additional endurance run en DG-103 at 3500 KW for.a period of time sufficient to result in the machine having experienced a total of 3 X 10 6 L

cycles at or above 3500 KW. The purpose of this test is to demonstrate that the diesel crankshafts are capable of performing their function, even assuming worst case instrument errors and the operation of cyclic loads which the County now claims will cause the diesels to exceed the current qualified load of 3300 KW. This test will be performed using in-plant instrumentation to control load at a median value of 3500 KW. Variations of +/- 100 KW will be permitted.

2. LILCO will agree to. perform an' inspection of the DG-103. crankshaft after the endurance run. This inspection will be limited to the highesu stress areas of the crankshaft connecting rod journals.

3. The criteria for the acceptability of the endurance run will be the acceptance criteria used for the previous endurance run. .

4. LILCO will agree to perform surveillance procedures on the DG-101 and DG-102 bloex tops throughout the life of these diesels to monitor crack initiation and growth, if any.

(

5. LILCO will agree to withdraw its request that the Licensing Board make findings on the adequacy of the diesels at 3500/3900 KW. The Board will be asked to limit its approval of this settlement agreement to the quailfied load rating of 3300 KW and a short term load rating of 3500 KW.

This provision would be without prejudice to LILCO's right to ask in the future for approval to increase the long term load rating above 3300 KW based upon the record of this proceeding.

6. Successful completion of the endurance run and associated inspections will be deemed confirmation that the TDI diesel generators meet the requirements of GDC 17 ond are acceptable for full power operation of the Shoreham plant.

7. Pending completion of the endurance run, SC will agree that the TDI diesel generators are adequate for low l

power operation up to 5% power based upon the airsady completed endurance run of 3300 KW and the substantial intpection and analysis of the diesels performed to date. This portion of the agreement will be effective immediately.

8. Based upon poin: 7 above, LILCO will agree to

withdraw its request for an exemption from GDC 17 and the parties will cease and desist from all litigation associated j with the exemption request.
