Procurement Program The inspector examined the licer.se c's procurement program to determine whether procurement activities are in conformance with the regulatory requirements, licensee's commitments, and industry guides and standard Program Review i

The inspector examined the administrative controls of the procurement program on safety-related items to ensure they provided the following criteria:

(1) Specific identification of equipment, supplies, consumables, or services purchase (/) Specification of test, inspection, and acceptance requirements as well as special instructions for fabrication, packaging, shipping, or storag (3) Requisite technical requirement (4) Requisite documentation to certify the item being procure (5) Requirements for the contractor / supplier to provide a Quality Assurance (QA) program consistent with Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 or to ensure applicability of 10 CFR 21 where necessar The inspector's examination revealed that the licensee has just recently fully implemented the Nuclear Division Procedures (NDP)

'

300-1 through 300-5 which provide the necessary instructions at:1 guidance for the above criteria. NDP 300-1, " Procurement Qualit y Level Classification System," Revision 1, lasued on April 21, 19d6, catablishes a graded classification system for purchased material, equipment, parts, or services based on complexity and importance to

.

safety. The procedure also defines the technical and Quality classification. NDP 300-5, " Acceptance of Purchased Item or Service," Revision 0, issued on February 19, 1986, establishes the methods for accepting purchased material, equipment, parts, or services. The procedure includes methods for establishing and documenting acceptance: by receipt inspection; by supplemental acceptance with contractor or supplier Certificate of Conformance; by source verification; and by post-installation testin The inspector examined NDP 300-4, " Procurement Document Preparation, Review, and Change Control," Revision 0, issued on February 19, 1986, to assure that neasures and assigned responsibilities were provided in writing for the following items:

(1) Initiation of procurement document (2) Review and approval of procurement document (3) Changes made to procurement document (4) Review and approval of specifications differing from the original design document NDP 300-4 established the process for preparation, review, approval of, and changes to quality-related procurement documents. The procedure describes the decisions, activities, and documents associated with the procurement process from determination of need through issuance of an award documen The inspector examined the administrative controls concerning bidders / suppliers for the following items (1) An acceptable method for qualifying a vendor, supplier, or contractor providing goods or services as defined in the FiAR; (2) Maintenance of an approved bidders list, including methods for updating the list; (3) Maintenance of records of supplier qualification and audit; and (4) Responsibilities are assigned for the above item The inspector reviewed Nuclear Quality Assurance Department Procedure (NQAP), No. 115, Revision 1, dated June 24, 1986, entitled, " Control of the Evaluated Contractor and Supplier List for Quality-Related Procurements." This procedure describes the requirements and assigns the responsibilities for the preparations, maintenance, and distribution of the Evaluated Contractor and Supplier List (ECSL) for Quality-Related Procurements used in conjunction with "Q" - denignated purchase requisitions. NQAP N , Revision 8, dated June 24, 1986, entitled, " Contractor and

Supplier Evaluations" establishes the methods used for the pre- and post-award evaluations of contractors, suppliers, and service organizations providing Quality Level Code Ag , A , Dg , and D items 2 2 and service The inspector's examination of the procurement program verified that the administrative controls appear to meet the regulatory requirements, licensee's commitments, and industry, guides and standards. The new Nuclear Division Procedures (NDP) 300-1 through 300-5 provide guidance and administrative controls for the procurement process. The NDPs provide for the identification, classification, and documentation of equipment, supplies and services purchased. They specify the technical requirements, identification of testing, inspection, and acceptance instructions, and requirements for fabrication, packaging, shipping, or storag In addition, the NDPs provide a means and assign responsibilities in writing for the initiation of procurement documents, review and approval of procurement documents, changes made, and give the basis for designation of quality classification of procurement item The licensee's personnel have been trained in the application of the NDPs for the procurement process. This training presented an overview of the . procurement quality assurance codes, standards, and regulatory guides currently used in the nuclear industry. The training was completed in April 198 '

In addition, the licensee 2ppears to have verified the Supplier Certificates and the effectiveness of the certification ayste NQAP 114. " Verification of Supplier's Certificates of Conformance "

has been revised to require that at least once each 12 months, all safety-related purchase orders issued during the previous 12 months be reviewed to identify the suppliers to be visited for verification of certificates. The licensee expects to visit at least 10 percent of the suppliers of safety-related equipment providing certificace The implementation phase of the licensee program was verified on a limited basis. Since implementation of the new procurement program and procedures was effective July 1, 1986, no procurement material had been received as of the date of this inspection using the new procedures. The inspector reviewed the new Material and Services  ;

Requestn (MSR) existing at the time of the inspection (about 20) and verified that they were correctly initiated and approved by supervision and QA. The implementation phase will be inspected at a later dat No violations or deviations were identifie .

3. Follow-up on previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Follow-up Item 85-33-02 - Specific Gravity Readings are Needed for Diesel Generator's Battery During a previous inspection, another inspector noted that the licensee was not taking specific gravity measurements for the auxiliary feedwater pump diesel battery. The licensee's representative stated that the battery capacity was being tracked by measuring individual cell voltages and the battery's normal float / charging current. The licensee also stated that these measurements were being taken in lieu of the specific gravity measurements based on the vendor's recommendation. The licensee at that time was unabic to provide the vendor's correspondence at the time of the inspectio The inspector reviewed the correspondence from SAB NIFE, Inc., the supplier of the nickel cadmium batteries for the AFW diesel, and the correspondence states specifically that specific gravity readings ere not required as part of a normal maintenance routine for nickel t cudmium batterie Thio item is considered close ) (Closed) Follow-up Item 84-05-01 - Use of Commercial Grade Materials

<

During a previous inspection, a review of licensee's purchase orders by another inspector indicated that the licensee procures many quality related items commercially as QA code "C" and "D" without requiring these materials to be procured from a supplier with an approved quality assurance program. This was allowed by the regulations, provided these materials are evaluated and dedicated after these materials are received onsite and prior to their applicaticn into basic components / safety-related systems. The licensee did not have procedures which specifically address how dedications of commercially procured materials or equipment should be performed after these materials are received on rit Nuclear Division Procedure (NDP) 300-3 entitled, " Evaluation of l

Commercial Grade Items," issued February 19, 1986, provides guidance for documenting engineering evaluations of commercial grade items used in safety-related applications. This procedures provide the guidance neccusary for dedicating commercially procured materials on

'

equipment pricr to assigning for use or installation as a basic component. Attachment A to NDP 300-3 provides the evaluation form for determining suitability of commercially procured materia This item is coasidered closed.

l (Closed) Generic Letter 85-22 - Potential for loss of Post-LOCA Recirculation Capability Due to Insulation Debris Blockage This generic letter warned licensees about a safety concern on LOCA generated debris that could block PWR containment emergency sump screens, thus, resulting in a loss of recirculation or

, containment spray pump Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) margin.

t l

The potential exists for a primary coolant pipe break to damage l thermal insulation on the piping as well as that on nearby component Insulation debris could be transported to intakes for l

I long-term post-LOCA recirculation ared containment sprays (i.e., PWR containment emergency sumps) and deposited on debris screens or suction strainers. This could reduce the NPSH margin below that required for recirculation pumps to maintain long-term cooling.

This generic letter was directed at licensee review groups responsible for conducting 10 CFR 50.59 reviews dealing with the changeout or modification of thermal insulation installed on primary

.

coolant system piping and component The licensee coa:! acted an l

Operational Action Review (OAR), #86-18, for this generic letter

!

which resulted in a procedure change to Nuclear Division Procedure (NDP) 200-1, Revision 3, entitled, " Design Change Control." This l

l procedure change revised Attachment D, " Design Checkoff List," item l

8, which requires giving consideration to insulation damage due to post-LOCA events. The licensee determined no further action was

neede The above licensee's actions were consistent with the content of the generic letter, and therefore this item is considered close No violations or deviations were identifie . Exit _. Interview The inspector met with the licensee representatives denoted in paragraph 1 on July 18, 1986, and summarized the scope and findings of the inspection.
