Discussion:

On April 14, 1994, during a postmaintenance test run on Standby Diesel   
Generator 22, the studs on the Fuel Injection 6L pump failed.  The       
operator in the diesel generator room shut down the engine.  Subsequent  
testing and analysis by the licensee has not been successful in          
establishing a definite root cause of the failure.  The licensee is      
processing a design change to replace the hollow studs with solid studs. 
The licensee has initiated a test program to help establish the reason   
for this engine's history of stud failures.  Extra vibration monitoring  
has been installed on all of the Unit 2 SDGs to monitor vibration during 
low speed operation and operation at various loads.  On April 19, testing
of SDG 22 was underway, to be followed by testing the other two engines. 

Regional Action:

The Region is monitoring the licensee's actions and participating in     
conference calls with the licensee and NRR.

Reportable Event Number: N/A

Discussion:

On April 18, 1994, Region IV granted a Notice of Enforcement             
Discretion (NOED) to the licensee to extend the shutdown action statement
time for CNS Technical Specification LCO 3.12.A.3, "Control Room         
Emergency Filtration System," an additional 14 days to continue          
troubleshooting and testing activities.                                  
                                                                         
The 7-day action statement was entered on April 11, 1994, after CNS      
Surveillance Procedure 6.3.17.18, "Control Room Envelope Pressurization  
Test," failed to meet its acceptance criteria following preventive       
maintenance on the latch for Door 300.  The surveillance test was        
re-performed on April 12, but again failed.  The action statement time   
limit would have expired at 1:47 p.m. on April 18, 1994.                 
                                                                         
The licensee initiated enforcement discretion discussions with Region IV 
and NRR at 7 a.m. on April 18, 1994. The licensee requested 14 days to   
continue troubleshooting, repair, and testing of the control room        
envelope. At 12:30 p.m. Region IV granted the NOED based on compensatory 
measures taken by the licensee and the low safety significance of the    
extended period.                                                         

Regional Action:

Routine resident followup with Regional initiative inspection to be      
scheduled for root cause determination and corrective actions review.
