The following is a summary of a fax updating a report initially submitted to the Document Control Desk on February 8, 2013:
CBI Lake Charles (CBI-LC) provided an interim report to the NRC regarding the ongoing 10 CFR Part 21 evaluation that could not be completed within 60-days from discovery of the deviation. This deviation is related to Mechanical Splices delivered to AP1000 Projects, Vogtle Unit 3 and V.C. Summer Unit 2.
CBI-LC executed the test plan and submitted the results to the Design Authority for evaluation. The 'Use-As-Is' disposition by the design authority was contingent upon additional qualification testing performed by the manufacturer. During the review of the testing by the manufacturer, there were some minor administrative errors identified. Therefore, upon the Design Authority approval of these minor error corrections, the evaluation to determine if this deviation is reportable per Part 21.21, could not be completed with the 60-days. Hence, this updated interim report is being provided.
CBI Lake Charles expects the Design Authority approval of the test results by January 31, 2014.
