"ON MAY 6-7, YANKEE ATOMIC ENERGY COMPANY CONDUCTED SURVEILLANCE 
AUDIT 96-066 AT ABB POWER T&D COMPANY INC. - RELAY DIVISION,

RECOMMENDATION TO INITIATE AN EVALUATION OF QUALIFICATION        
DOCUMENTATION, AND TO DETERMINE ITS IMPACT ON COM-5 CLASS 1E     
RELAYS, PER 10 CFR PART 21. AFTER EVALUATION, A REPORT WAS       
SUBMITTED TO YANKEE ATOMIC JUNE 11, 1996 IDENTIFYING CORRECTIVE  
ACTIONS THAT HAD BEEN TAKEN AND STATING THAT, IN OUR JUDGMENT,   
THERE WAS NO IMPACT ON THE COM-5 RELAYS BEING SUPPLIED.          
                                                                 
"A FOLLOWUP VISIT BY YANKEE ATOMIC TOOK PLACE ON JULY 9-10, 1996,
TO REVIEW THESE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS. AS A RESULT OF FURTHER       
DISCUSSIONS, YANKEE ATOMIC DETERMINED THAT THE QUALIFICATION     
DOCUMENTATION FOR THE COM-5 RELAY, AS WELL AS THE CRN-1 AND CVE-1
RELAYS, WAS NOT SUFFICIENT. IN ADDITION, INCONSISTENCIES IN ZPA  
RATINGS WERE FOUND.                                              
                                                                 
"BASED ON THE ABOVE OCCURRENCES, ABB IS INITIATING AN EVALUATION 
OF THE QUALIFICATION DOCUMENTATION FOR THE ABOVE MENTIONED       
RELAYS, AS WELL AS OTHER CLASS 1E RELAYS SUPPLIED. THIS
