0511 - Summary/Objective
0512 -
051201 - Reviewed Walt's letter to Voith, ref DIT 3, and developed ideas on
051202 - notice re failure of plant while in operation, and coordination
051203 - between DNRC's vendors.  Also posted DNRC's letter ref DIT 2 dealing
051204 - with the same subject, indicating Maritech will perform on site
051205 - vibration studies on Oct 8 - 12.
051206 -
051207 - Submitted comments to Walt, ref DIT 1.

051209 - Discussion with Walt oa 1000
051210 -
051211 - We considered the point about DNRC maintianing Tudor's role as
051212 - engineer.  I recommended DNRC copy Tudor with any correspondence to
051213 - vendors working on original contract work with a request from Tudor
051214 - that it advise DNRC of any steps it feels should be taken or avoided
051215 - in connection with each issue.

0515 - Resonance Calculations
0516 -
051601 - DNRC understands the resonance calculations on the existing speed
051602 - increaser were performed by Renk Company for Voith.
051603 -
051604 - DNRC requests Voith to furnish a copy of the finite element analysis
051605 - of the original gear box for review by Maritech, primarily for
051606 - correctness of methodology, pursuant to Section 1300 of Voith's
051607 - contract.
051608 -
051609 - DNRC requests Voith to furnish the same information on the new Speed
051610 - Increaser immediately upon completion of the design stage.
051611 -
051612 - Maritech will sign a confidentiality agreement to protect Renk's
051613 - proprietary interests, of the form used by Geartech.
051614 -
051615 -
051616 -    Questions
051617 -
051618 -    Should this request be supported by a letter from Maritech setting
051619 -    out its request for information it needs to perform a competent
051620 -    analysis and provide the professional advice it believes DNRC
051621 -    should have?
051622 -
051623 -       Alternatively, this letter might be submitted to Maritech for
051624 -       information with a request that Maritech advise DNRC if it
051625 -       covers the issues Maritech believes are required for it to
051626 -       adequately advise DNRC.
051627 -
051628 -           A copy of the letter is sent to Maritech, but there is no
051629 -           request for affirmative response by Maritech.
051630 -
051631 -           A copy is sent to Tudor.  Tudor should as well be requested
051632 -           in its capacity of Engineer to advise DNRC if it concurs
051633 -           with DNRC's action and whether it recommends any other steps
051634 -           be taken.
051635 -
051636 -       Discussion with Walt
051637 -
051638 -       Walt indicated Maritech will submit its list of documents
051639 -       in the manner set out above.
051640 -
051641 -
051642 -    Should Voith be directed to furnish a CPM or other schedule format
051643 -    showing the steps it intends to take, who is going to do the work,
051644 -    with what resources and when each task will be complete.  This
051645 -    would assist the Department in planning its own activities
051646 -    including coordinating with Maritech so it can plan its work load.
051647 -
051648 -       If Voith refuses to comply, then DNRC could develop its own CPM
051649 -       based upon its best information and analysis of what is involved
051650 -       and submit it to Voith for compliance and/or comment respect to
051651 -       modifications.  The cost for the Department's work in preparing
051652 -       the CPM would be charged to Voith.
051653 -
051654 -
051655 - Maritech has committed to complete its review of Voith's information
051656 - in a manner to avoid delay to manufacture of the new speed increaser.
051657 -
051658 -    This concern is all the more reason to obtain a schedule from
051659 -    Voith and to obtain written commitment from Maritech to these
051660 -    understandings.

0519 - Maritech Investigations
0520 -
052001 - Received from Walt yesterday, ref DIT 3.  I calling it a document
052002 - issued, because this will build the record from DNRC's perspective,
052003 - and I am doing this work on their behalf.

052005 -    Scope
052006 -
052007 -    Walt indicated yesterday, they have a $30K contract to conduct
052008 -    various investigations and analysis of Broadwater machinery,
052009 -    including operation of the existing speed increaser.
052010 -
052011 -    Maritech will review Voith's calculations for natural frequencies
052012 -    of the ring gear/casing per Section 2a. of the Speed Increaser
052013 -    specification.
052014 -
052015 -    DNRC's letter ref DIT 2 requests Voith submit the original shop
052016 -    drawings for the speed increaser as well as the design of the
052017 -    modifications now proposed to fix the gear set.  DNRC advises Voith
052018 -    that it must obtain approval of design shop drawings before
052019 -    fabrication.

052023 - Notice to Insurance Carriers
052024 -
052025 - As reviewed on 911010, ref SDS 1 0388, has DNRC given Voith notice
052026 - that DNRC will hold it liable for collateral and/or consequent damage
052027 - to the plant in the event of failure to repair of the speed increaser
052028 - unit, so that Voith and its insurance carrier can evaluate whether to
052029 - recommend shutdown now and assume the cost of DNRC's lost revenue
052030 - rather than incur the risk of higher costs in the event of such
052031 - failure?
