| Title | Part 21 Report- Commercial Grade Dedication Not Properly Applied to Butterfly Valves |
| Event Description | The following information was received by facsimile:
While reviewing an order for a Type 9200 Butterfly Valve, it was discovered that some parts [shipped from Marshalltown, Iowa from 2009-present] had not been identified for Commercial Grade Dedication, These parts were considered Essential-to-Function and were needed for the valve assembly to perform its safety-related function(s). [The vendor] then extended its review to all safety-related orders going back to 2009. This review confirmed that the failure to dedicate was not confined to Type 9200 butterfly valves. The beginning of 2009 was selected because [an audit follow-up was] performed in January, 2009. A key point of emphasis during the audit was commercial grade dedication, with a recommended outcome being the addition of guidance on commercial grade dedication with all new quotations. Therefore, the 2009 audit brought clarity and consistency in approach, that was not always applied correctly between January, 2009 thru October, 2012. It is [vendor's] opinion that while the affected equipment identified as safety-related was not properly dedicated, the failure to dedicate does not appear to pose an inherent safety risk based on currently available Information. The reason being that much of the equipment affected by [the vendor's] error were items such as mounting kits, wherein [the vendor] failed to dedicate the hardware used to mount the instrument (i.e., the bracket and screws), but did properly dedicate the instrument. Additionally, in forming this opinion, [the vendor] has taken into account that there are no known field issues with the affected equipment and all such possibly non-dedicated equipment passed the required standard testing. U.S. nuclear plants affected include the following: D.C. Cook; Millstone; Surry; McGuire; San Onofre; Indian Point; Palisades; Clinton; Peach Bottom; Beaver Valley; Cooper; Palo Verde; Brunswick; Hope Creek/Salem and Watts Bar. It is noted that numerous foreign facilities are also affected. If there are any technical question, contact the Fisher Quality Manager (George Baitinger) : Fax: (641) 754-2854 or Phone: (641) 754-2026. |
