This letter is issued to provide initial notification of a potential defect in Okonite Tape Splices. The potential defect is inadequate radiation testing performed by Steris/lsomedix. In response to NRC Information Notice 2015-12: 'Unaccounted for Error Terms Associated with the Irradiation Testing and Environmental Qualification of Important-to-Safety Components,' an investigation was performed to determine if products had radiation testing performed by Steris/lsomedix, and any impact. This investigation commenced on November 25, 2015. It was determined on January 21, 2016 that the qualification of Okonite Tape Splices is affected by the unaccounted for error terms discussed in Information Notice 2015-12. This product has only been provided to James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant. This customer will be notified today. As a corrective action, Qualification Report PEI-TR-842900-1 will be revised to decrease the Total Integrated Dose (TID) reported by 9.6% based upon the guidance of Information Notice 2015-012. This revision will be provided to James A. FitzPatrick Nuclear Power Plant within 30 days of this notification. Notification will be provided when this corrective action is complete.
