UNITED STATESNUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSIONOFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATIONWASHINGTON, D.C. ?0555April 26, 1988NRC INFORMATION NOTICE NO. 88-19: QUESTIONAELE CERTIFICATION OFCLASS lE COMPONENTS
Addressees
- All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear powerreactors.
Purpose
- This information notice Is being provided to alert addressees to a possibleproblem with the certification of Class lE components furnished by PlannedMaintenance Systems (PMS) of Mt. Vernon, Illinois. It is expected thatrecipients will review the information for applicability to their facilitiesand consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However,suggestions contained in this information notice do not constitute NRCrequirements; therefore, no specific action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
- On April 1, 1988, Wolf Creek Nuclear Operating Corporation (WCNOC) submitteda written 10 CFR Part 21 Notification to NRC Region IV concerning 60 Class lEfuses that had been procured from PMS. One of the requirements of the purchaseorder (PO) issued to PMS was that the PO Items were to be supplied in accord-ance with the requirements of a specific fuse qualification specification forClass 1E equipment. This specification contained detailed requirements includingmaterials, environmental qualification, seismic qualification, and inspection/test requirements. The PMS Certificate of Compliance supplied with the ordercertified that all of the procurement document requirements had been met andno deviations from the requirements had been identified.The fuses were placed on hold by WCNOC because a required Quality Departmentsurveillance had not been performed. A subsequent WCNOC surveillance revealedthat the records in PMS's possession did not support the statement on the PMSCertificate of Compliance that all PO requirements had been met. Qualificationspecification requirements were not covered by PMS quality assurance recordswith respect to information on environmental qualification, radiation levels,and seismic qualification. In addition, it could not be established that arequired continuity/resistance check of each fuse had been performed beforethe fuses were shippe IN 88-19April 26, 1988Page ? of 2Discussion:The WCNOC 10 CFR Part ?1 notification has brought into question the validityof the Certificate of Compliance issued by PMS for Class IE fuses that theysupplied. Accordingly, licensees may wish to review Class IF component pro-curements from this vendor to ensure that appropriate bases exist for the useof the components.No specific action or written response is required by this Information notice.If you have any questions about this matter, please contact the technicalcontact listed below or the Regional Administrator of the appropriate regionaloffice.Charles E.
