Thank you for your letters, dated April 16 and 29,1987, June 17,1987, and May 31, 1988, in response to our equipment qualification inspection report forwarded by our letter dated April 1,1987, and discussions on this report in our telephone conversations of May 23 and 27,1988.
During the equipment qualification inspection, nine Potential Enforcement /Unresalved items and 19 open items were identified.
Subsequently, it has been found that certain of your activities appear to be in violation of NRC requirements although operability aspects have now been addressed.
By separate letter we will schedule an enforcament conference in the Region IV office to discuss your understanding of an-
. violations which represent failures to fully esttblish the qualification (
..e following equipment, as documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-298/86-28:
(1) Kerite HTK/FR 600V cable; (2) Raychem coaxial cable; (3) Thomas & Betts (T&B) Sta-kon cable splices to Fenwal/Patel temperature switches; (4) Okonite T95/35 motor operator splices; (5) Boston Insulated Wire (BIW) coaxial cable; (6) scotch taped and T&B cable splices in motor operators; and (7) General Electric (GE) electrical penetrations.
In addition, during the discussions in our telephone conversations of May 23 and 27, 1988, several Potential Enforcement / Unresolved Items and several Open Items appeared to have an adequate resolution. However, we would like you to fully discuss these items, which also appear to have represented a failure to fully establish the qualification of the following equipment at the time of the inspection as documented in NRC Inspection Report 50-298/86-28:
(1) BIW Bostrad 7'.
able; (2) mounting orientation and interface descriptions for various pressure / level switches; (3) Microswitch OP-N and DTE limit switches;
!
(4) ASCO SA11AR and 0J 11A4R temperature switches; (5) ASCO HVA, WPHT, and NP-1 solenoid' valves;(6)BarksdaleB2TMandB2Tpressureswitetes;(7)Rosemount1153 transmitters including the B/1159 remote seal system; (8) Static-0-Ring TA pressure switches; and (9) GE SX634 motors.
These discussions should focus on infonnation related to the November 30, 1985, deadlines for compliance with 10 CFR 50.49 and possible civil penalties applicable to licensees not in compliance with 10 CFR 50.49 as described in the April 7,1988, Generic Letter (88-07), Modified Enforcement Policy Relating to 10 CFR 50.49, "Environmental Qualification of Electrical Equipment Import nt to I the Safety for Nuclear Power Plants."
