(I doy) Port 21 Noteneetten This notification is made pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21 On January 9,1998, Condition Evaluation Report 98-0038 and Non Conformance Notice (NCN) 98-0038 reported the failure of EG A control, serial number 1425251. Due to potential applications in the industry and the safety significance of its application as a governor control for Emergency Diesel Generators (EDGs), this failure is considered to be reportable under 10 CFR Part 21. In this case, V. C. Summer Nuclear Station ensured that adequate testing had been periormed to the associated EG A to verify its operable status. The vendor. Engine Systems, incorporated (ESl), has been notified of this situation and understands that a Part 21 notification is being submitted based on their certification of conformance on the EG A with inadequate post-returbishment bench testing by the vendor, that did not identify intermittent failures in electrical components (such as potentiometers and zoner diodes).
t A team from VCSNS procurement engineering flow to the vendor's repair facility (Woodward Governor Company) in Fort Collins, CO, to evaluate their repair program. Future pt.rchase requisitions for EG A repair / refurbishment willinclude requirements for a 50 hr burn in and bench testing of the EG A control for detection ofintermittent failures.
