On November 18, 2002, Morning Report H-02-0094 was issued concerning
incorrect welds found in recently fabricated battery racks. The MR
incorrectly stated "fuel" racks and it should have read "battery" racks.
Below is the correction:
C&D Technologies, a vendor of battery racks, reported that a series of
welds joining the horizontal cross beam to the vertical member of the
frame were not welded correctly during fabrication of two single tier
battery racks for the Prairie Island nuclear facility. The incorrect
welds may affect the seismic qualification of the rack. These defects
were identified before installation, thus the racks were not installed at
Prairie Island. The vendor is undertaking corrective action to ensure
that future racks will not have this defect.
