Reportable Event Number: 33004                         

Discussion:

On Sunday September 28, 1997, the licensee reported (Event Number 33004) 
the failure of some Division 1 and 2 emergency diesel generator (EDG)    
cylinder valve adjusting screw assembly pads.  The licensee had declared 
both Division 1 and 2 EDGs inoperable on September 26.  The failures     
occurred on TransAmerica Delavall, Inc. diesels.                         
                                                                         
On Monday September 29, 1997, a telephone call was held with the         
licensee, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, and Region IV to     
obtain additional information.  Licensee records indicated that the      
cracked valve adjusting screw assembly swivel pads (VASASP, P/N 1A-7840) 
were from Lot VV64, which was supplied by Cooper Enterprise in Grove     
City, PA.  Licensee metallurgical testing showed that the VASASPs        
contained material of incorrect hardness.                                
                                                                         
The licensee procured new VASASPs from the vendor of the correct material
composition (Lot PP56).  The licensee installed these VASASPs in the     
Division 1 EDG.  The Division 1 EDG was tested and returned to operable  
status at 3:41 p.m. (CDT) on September 27, 1997.  Replacement of the     
Division 2 EDG VASASPs is in progress.                                   
                                                                         
The licensee is in the process of conducting a root cause analysis of    
this event.
