| Event Description | EN Revision Text: PART 21 - INTERIM REPORT NOTIFICATION
The following was received via phone call and email: This report provides notification and interim information concerning an evaluation being performed by AAF Flanders for an unapproved design change in a High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter. An evaluation is underway for filters that underwent a non-approved design change. AAF Flanders has determined that an evaluation cannot be completed within the 60 day period. Discovery of the potential deviation was May 2, 2018. The information required for the 60-Day Interim Report Notification �21.21(a)(2) was provided. We anticipate that the evaluation will be completed by Sept 15, 2018. AAF Flanders is evaluating a potential nonconforming condition associated with filters (model number 0-007-C-42-03-NU-11-13-GG FU5) supplied to Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP) / Xcel Energy. AAF Flanders notified Prairie Island Nuclear Plant of this potential defect.
The following information was received via email: A notification was submitted to the Commission with the subject matter of, 'Unapproved Design Change in a High Efficiency Particulate Air Filter.' At this time, the evaluation is pending third party qualification testing of the product. Information obtained from the qualification will be used in the determination of a defect. AAF Flanders had anticipated this process to have been completed by Sept 15, 2018 but because it is still on-going, we request an extension until October 31, 2018 to submit a final report to the Commission. The subject filters (model number 0-007-C-42-03-NU-11-13-GG FU5) supplied to Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)/ Xcel Energy had not been installed. AAF Flanders has recalled the subject filters and currently have them segregated and stored at our facility. They pose no threat public safety. Notified R3DO (Hanna) and Part 21/50.55 Reactors Group (email).
The following information was excerpted from information received via email: AAF Flanders had anticipated the qualification process for said filters to have been completed by Sept 15, 2018. AAF requested a second extension by October 31, 2018 to submit a final report to the Commission, however; at this time our qualification is still pending third party approval. AAF Flanders is requesting another extension on the basis of an incomplete qualification of these filters. We anticipate qualification and a completed report on or before 12/15/2018. Notified R3DO (Stoedter) and Part 21/50.55 Reactors Group (email).
The following information was received via e-mail: AAF Flanders' evaluation of the condition identified in the interim report has been completed. The condition reported has been determined to be not reportable in accordance with 10 CFR 21. The subject filters (model number 0-007-C-42-03-NU-11-13-GG FU5) have passed qualification testing in accordance with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) AG-1, Section FC with the new urethane and are fully qualified and listed on the Qualified Products List. The subject filters (model number 0-007-C-42-03-NU-11-13-GG FU5) supplied to Prairie Island Nuclear Generating Plant (PINGP)/Xcel Energy prior to this qualification test had not been installed and were subsequently returned to AAF Flanders. PINGP/Xcel Energy has been notified of the qualification status of the filter model. Notified R3DO (Riemer) and Part 21/50.55 Reactors Group (email). |
