(Closed) Unresolved Items 50-334/89-02-01 and 50-412/89-02-01 Lack of documentation to support the quality level of ITE circuit breakers JL3-B100S purchased from Divesc Since Divesco was unable to provide the documentation to support the quality level of the ITE JL3-B100S breakers, the licensee removed the 10 installed breakers from Unit No. 2 in April, 1989. As specified in NRC Bulletin 88-10 and Information Notice 88-46, the licensee isolated the 10 breakers and the 3 spares in a holding area

.of Warehouse D. Q-listed breakers replaced the 10 JL3-8100S breakers removed from Unit No. 2 switchgear,.DC SWOD-21 and 22. The inspector verified that Q-listed breakers were installed and that the 13 Divesco breakers were stored in the controlled area of Warehouse i This item is close . Quality Assurance Program Annual Review (35701) '

The purpose of this inspection was to review'and evaluate the licensee's implementation of its quality assurance (QA) program-for handling cafety-related systems and components. The inspector reviewed and evaisated the following QA program areas for conformance to QA program requirements,

Audit Programs 3.1 Quality Assurance Program (35701)

The quality assurance program was reviewed to determine whether organizational changes since the last annual review were docu-mented, understood by personnel, and did not change the intent of the quality assurance program's overall functio Duquesne Light Company is presently changing its organization struc--

ture for this site. The current changes do not appear to degrade the original management involvement or control, but rather strengthen the organization by consolidating various functions under fewer supervisors. ,

For example, the Quality Services Audit and Surveillance Director has three supervisors reporting to him: Quality Assurance Audit, Quality Assurance Surveillance, and Quality Assurance Procurement, This reduced the number of supervisors reporting to the Manager, Quality Services by 25%. This would appear to give the Director a better control over the three supervisory areas. The Duquesne Light organization changes are scheduled to be submitted to the NRC during the next scheduled Quality Assurance-Program revision in accordance with 10 CFR 50.54 (a)(3).

3.2 Procurement Program (38701)

The procurement program is described in the Nuclear Group Department (NGD) procedures 3, 24, 27, and 34, " Procurement of. Materials /

Surveillances." The Manager, Purchasing and Materials Management uses two lists from which to procure parts and materials: the Q list for safety-related parts and material; and a list for non-safety grade parts and materials. The purchase order, if coded safety-related, is procured from suppliers off the Qualified' Suppliers List which is inspected and controlled as defined in the licensee's Quality Assurance Procedures (QAP's) 7.1.2, Qinlified Suppliers List." The licensee conducts performance inspections of the. vendors according to the requirements of QAP 7. The inspector's review of the following purchase orders (P0's) veri-fied that they required shelf life data, component and material traceability, 10 CFR 21 criteria, test results, and that the selected vendors were-on the approved vendors lis I

The scope of this inspection was to verify that administrative controls and written procedures for receipt of safety-related items conform to FSAR and Technical Specification requirement The licensee prepared Nuclear Group Administrative and Procure-ment / Material Management Procedures called SAP's (Station Adtrinis- ;

trative Procedures) for receipt, storage, and handling of equipment '

and materials (See Attachment A for documentation listing).

The inspec s selected 15 purchase orders to verify that engineering requirements (Nuclear Group Department (NGD) 3, 24, 27 and 34

"

- Procurement of Materials / Services," SAP 30, " Material Management,"

and NDG 5, " Quality Assurance Program") were referenced'in the purchase order system and that re eipt and receiving inspection personnel were-following the requirements of these documents. The P0s reviewed complied with the procedure's criteria. Review of the 1 items stored in the main Warehouse B verified that the licensee met !

the criteria described in the FSAR and site procedures (See Attach- .:

ment A for document listing).  !

The licensee also uses Warehouse D to store construction and test startup equipment. The licensee performs part and material-inspect-ion and evaluation prior to releasing items for use in the plan Since this warehouse did not come under the program controls of Warehouse B, the licensee issued Deficiency Report (DR) No. 478 dated June 15, 1990. The DR required site controls placed on all safety- 1 related equipment / materials in this warehouse prior to release for use in the p^lant, in compliance with the storage criterion of ANSI N'45. 2, 1972, paragraph 6.4, " Control of Items in Storage."

- The implementation and results of the safety related equipment /

material evaluation program for Warehouse D will be reviewed by the ,

NRC during a future inspection. This item is unresolved pending a !

review of the program for evaluation and acceptance of the safety !

related items (50-334/90-15-01 and 50-412/90-15-01). j q

3.4 Audit Program (40702) l The scope of this inspection was to verify that an audit program has been defined and that it is consistent with the Final Safety Analysis ,

' Report (FSAR), Regulatory Guides, and industry guides and standard l The present audit schedule for this site is based on a 1 year cycle as defined in ANSI N45.2.12, Draf t 3, Revision 4, February 1974, t

" Requirements for Auditing of Quality Assurance Programs for Nuclear l'

Power Plant." In addition to performing tha audit criteria of ANSI N45.2.12, the Offsite Review Committee (0RC) has' assigned their audits performance function (Ref. FSAR 17.2.-21) to the Quality Assurance Audit Group. Action items identified during audits are documented and tracked in the QA tracking system (Reference NGD 8, Audits, Inspections and Surveillances). '

The audit checklist appears to be comprehensive and relevant. It has been modified to include pe, formance based criteria,1,e. , verify that test result values are recorded. The audit checklist for the Vendor Information Programs, Audit No. BV-C-90-28, is an_ example of adding performance based requirements to. the QA program criteria. To support their audit schedule (January 1,-1989 to December,1990) the licensee supplements their staff with contractors, whose selection and evaluation was documented and controlled by the Quality Assurance-organization. No violations or deviations were identifie . Unresolved Items

,

Unresolved items are matters about which more information is required in j order to ascertain whether they are acceptable, a' violation or a devia- i tion. An unresolved item identified during this inspection is discussed in paragraph . Exit Meeting i Licensee management were informed of the scope and purpose of the inspec-tion at an entrance meeting conducted on June 11, 1990. The findings of the inspector were periodically discussed with licensee representatives g during the course of the inspection. An exit was conducted on June 15, j 1990 (see paragraph 1), at which time the findings of.the inspector were 'l
