January 25, 1984 SECY-84-34
!L FOR:
The Commissioners 7
FROM:
William J. Dircks 4
Executive Director for Operations Z
SUBJECT:
EMERGENCY DIESEL GENERATORS MANUFACTURED BY TRANSAMERICA DELAVAL, INC.
3;p PURPOSE:
To inform the Comission of problems., relating to
- 's Emergency Diesel Generators manufactured by '
, Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDI).
We previously provided the Comission with infomation about TDI diesel generators via
/t e'
Board Notifications83-160 and 83-160a,.and via a memo to Commissioner Gilinsky from Mr. Dircks dated December 14, 1983.
.;g
- p DISCUSSION:
On August 12, 1983, the' main crankshaft on one of the'three
~
~
emergency diesel generators (EDGs) at the Shoreham Nuclear
~
Power Station broke into two pieces during a load, test..The N
4 EDGs at Shoreham were manufactured by Transamerica Delaval, Inc. (TDI), which has also provided 54 other EDGs for.14 other 0;&
~
nuclear power piant sites in the U. S.
A list'of,those plants y
is included as the enclosure to this paper.. During-the course of - y/:
the evaluation of the failure a'nd.the' repairs of'the J.D.
/T Shoreham EDGs, infomation related to the operating history of TDI engines and the QA program of the manufacturer has been identified 'which calls into question the reliability vf all TDI diesels.

-Th,e Commissioners f
After the Shoreham crankshaft failures, the staff reviewed the
-operating status of plants where TDI engines had been installed.'
Grand Gulf, San Onofre.1'(SONGS 1), and Rancho Seco are the only licensed reactors with TDI diesel generators, but SONGS 1 5'
is currently-shutdown for seismic modifications, Grand Gulf has only a five percent.' license, and the engines'at Rancho Seco are.
>1 additional units whose installation is not yet complete.
IE Infonnation Notice 83-58 was issued to inform other TDI owners
.. I of the failure.
4 Members of the staff met with representatives of'the Long Island Lighting Company (LILCo) several times to discuss thea failures to date, the results of LILCo's investigation, and the actions to be taken to recover from the failures.
The staff 4
has also developed several lists of questions that it feels need to be addressed as part of the TDI engine evaluations.
One list, which has been sent to all TDI diesel owners, requests specific information about each engine. Another was
. ' f:
sent to TDI on December 1,.1983, requesting information about the design development' history of various' parts of TDI machines. Delaval responded on December 16', 1983..
g+
By letter dated December 23i 1983, the staff was informed that a TDI diesel. engine owners group has been formed to-address f
these issues.
C The staff will be meeting on January 26, 1984 with senior utility executives representing each of the applicants listed in the enclosure.
The staff at'that time intends to inform the utility management of its major concerns regarding the' quality assurance of the _TDIJdesign' and manufacturingsprocess : and to j
~
emphasize the significance of the widespread; operating problems y
i to date with TDI engines.
19 CONCLUSION:
For use at the meeting, the staff has prepared'a list of b[L 1
operational problems experir.nced by many TDI engines in both F
nuclear and non-nuclear service,. a summary of the results of M-.
the last two QA inspections of TDI, and a sumary of the historyi dp of TDI vendor inspections since 1979. Taken together with jg$
the major crankshaft failure at Shoreham, these operational and QA problems have significantly reduced the staff's level of confidence in the reliability of all TDI diesel generators.

.c The staff believes that before additional licensing action is taken to authorize the operation of a nuclear power plant with TDI engines, these issues, relating to quality assurance,,
operating experience, and the ability of the machines to reliably perform their intended function, must be addressed.
The staff will report to the Comission on its continued
- t review of,this issue.
