The licensee received severe damage to both the central receiving warehouse and the issue warehouse from Hurricane Andrew.
The contents of both warehouses were exposed to rain, salt water, impact from debris, displacement from storage racks, submersion, and possible contact with unknown chemicals.
Nonconforming Report (NCR) No. N-92-0173 was issued which requested the evaluation of these parts for continued use and guidance for acceptance inspection and disposition of these materials.
Disposition of this NCR identified two groups of materials requiring evaluation:
items still in storage at the time of the hurricane and items issued after the hurricane but before the NCR was issued.
There were approximately 800 line items issued during the period before the NCR, the majority being non-safety related.
The non-safety related materials issued ranged from sheet steel to cleaning materials for storm cleanup activities.
Those safety related items issued after the storm but prior to the origination of the recovery program were items that were in sealed containers that had been stored in cabinets in the issue warehouse in areas that did not receive severe water damage and the cabinets provided protection from water penetration.
The inspection and quality acceptance of the parts issued was verified on the Requisition on Stores (ROS)
document which covered the issuance of the item.
The parts installation was accomplished in accordance with the licensee's standard maintenance procedures.
The licensee documented the successful post maintenance testing of the installed parts in the close out of the associated maintenance work orders.
The inspectors reviewed several of the ROSs for items issued before the NCR was written and after the NCR
was dispositioned.
Each ROS contained a signature certifying the acceptance for issue of the part.
The NCR disposition defines the criteria for the recovery of materials as the levels originally assigned to it in the licensee's guality Assurance Procedure No.
gP 4.6, Procurement Control.
These levels are defined as PC 1, 2, 3, or 4.
The recovered materials which require no cleaning and are issued under a Requisition on Stores (ROS),
as defined in Administrative Procedure 0190. 19, Control of Maintenance and Construction Work on Safety Related and guality Systems, will have their acceptance for use documented by the signing off of a statement certifying that the material meets the acceptance criteria set forth in the disposition of NCR 92-0173.
The licensee has held training sessions for the warehouse, gC, and procurement engineers who will be performing the evaluations of these materials, The instructions require that if there is any doubt about the quality of an item the gC and procurement engineers will advise the warehouse personnel regarding its condition.
The licensee is in the process of developing areas and facilities for cleaning material.
The program as described by the licensee will have a
data sheet for each piece of equipment to record the history of the cleaning process.
These data sheets will become part of the equipment data package and will be retrievable.
3.
Observation of Activities The inspectors, accompanied by licensee personnel, toured the materials storage facilities and observed the following:
a.
Central Receiving Facility (CRF)
The hurricane had damaged this facility.
The facility has been dismantled and removed from around the racks that were once inside the building.
These actions were necessary to protect the personnel involved in the recovery tasks.
The parts that had been stored on racks inside this warehouse were exposed to the outside e'lements.
Various items were either on the floor or on racks exposed to inclement weather.
Some items were covered with plastic sheets.
The licensee had erected a collapsible tent and intends to transfer items that were in the CRF into this shelter.
A few electrical items such as 4160 volt breakers and motors which had been returned to the supplier for inspection, cleaning, and recertification had already been stored in this structure.
b.
Issues Warehouse (IW)
The hurricane had inflicted selected damage to this facility.
The hurricane had blown off several sections of the roof and had caused several racks to fall, spilling the contents onto the floor.
The force of the hurricane winds forced moisture to penetrate through
'
loose wrappings.
The inspectors observed solidified salt crystals or debris attached to such damaged components.
The licensee had repaired the roof, uprighted the racks, and placed the material back on the racks.
In this building, the licensee performs receipt inspection, and processes requisitions for repair parts by collecting the requested materials and issuing the material.
c.
Inspections Activities Performed on Gaskets The inspectors observed that the licensee's Supervisor of Nuclear Materials Management (SNMM) had developed a status list of gaskets after inspecting them (October 13-20, 1992).
This list, provided information on the description of the gasket, the identification number, the quantity available and the quantity inspected and determined acceptable status.
The inspectors inspected the storage of these gaskets and agreed with the SNMM inspection findings that specific gaskets had rusted and cleaning would be required before they could be issued.
The inspectors observed that other gaskets were being properly identified and were being stored in designated areas where the could be readily retrieved.
4.
Staging Area The inspectors selected the following components that had been recovered to supply requisitioned material for installation.
These items were situated in the staging area of the issues warehouse as of October 21,1992.
a.
One ASCO Solenoid Operated Valve (SOV) Type 206-381-3-F b.
Norgen Air Regulator c.
Several sizes of Raychem splicing kits d.
Spare parts for limitorque type electric motor operators At the NRC inspector's request, licensee personnel opened the boxes.
The NRC inspectors observed that all the components were free of damage from the hurricane.
5.
Review of Records of an Installed Component The inspectors selected a pulse amplifier identified as 83 445 which was reclaimed and used in Control Room NIS rack (gR 60).
Licensee's Purchasing Engineer released the pulse amplifier after determining that it was not adversely affected by the temporary loss of Level B storage conditions.
The maintenance package, identified as Work Order Task 92 047096 01 contained the necessary information to indicate that the
licensee had installed the pulse amplifier in rack gR 60 and performed post-installation tests to verify that it operated satisfactorily.
The licensee had issued and installed wire lugs and Raychem splice kits that had been recovered from the warehouse.
These parts were used inside the containment building.
There was no access attempted to inspect these repairs.
The list of safety related items issued prior to the NCR issuance was reviewed and the justification for use of the material was documented and found acceptable
.
6.
Conclusions Based on the observations of the licensee's program to recover materials as needed to support plant operation and outage activities, the inspectors concluded that conservative methods are being employed in the recovery of parts.
Based on the review of the preliminary plans of the program for the long term parts recovery effort, discussions with the licensee's management, and the emphasis placed on the effort by the licensee; it appears that a conservative approach will be taken to insure that the quality of recovered parts will be accomplished in a well documented manner.
The NRC will continue to follow this effort and perform inspections in the future when the program is fully developed and the recovery of parts is in progress.
7.
Exit Interview The inspection scope and results were summarized on October 22, 1992, with those persons indicated in paragraph 1.
The inspector described the areas inspected and discussed in detail the inspection results.
