## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING CLIMB OUT APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES THE FLIGHT CREW REPORTED THE NR 2 ENGINE SURGE WITH ASSOCIATED VIBRATION AND HIGH TEMPERATURE.  THE ENGINE WAS SHUTDOWN AND AN EMERGENCY WAS DECLARED.  THE NR 2 VORTEX DISSIPATOR TUBE FRACTURED AND WAS NOT RECOVERED.  THE ACFT DIVERTED AND LANDED SAFELY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  MAINTENANCE REPORTED THE NR 2 ENGINE TURBINE BLADE TIPS WERE FOUND DAMAGED AND THE ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED.  IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE VORTEX DISSIPATOR TUBE FRACTURE WAS DUE TO THE ENGINE VIBRATION.
