SUBJECT:

INTERIM 10 CFR PART 21 REPORT REGARDING DEVIATIONS OF MODULES AND SUB-MODULES SUPPLIED FOR AP 1000 PROJECTS The attachment to this letter provides an interim report in accordance with 10 CFR 21.21 pertaining to the identification of deviations associated with modules and sub-modules being supplied as structural components for the V. C. Summer and Vogtle nuclear projects. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components.

Evaluation for reportability in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21 was not able to be completed within the 60-day evaluation period due the failure to properly identify and track this condition. The failure to properly identify and track this condition has been identified in the CB&I Power Corrective Action Program. It is expected that the evaluation for reportability will be completed by August 19, 2014.

If you have any questions pertaining to this information, please contact Curtis Castell, Licensing Manager, at 980-321-8314.

Sincerely, Don DePierro Senior Vice President, Nuclear cc: Regional Administrator, USNRC, Region II Attachment

(i) Name and address of the individual or individuals informing the Commission.

Mr. Don DePierro CB&I Nuclear 128 S. Tryon St., Suite 1000 Charlotte, NC 28202 (ii) Identification of the facility, the activity, or the basic component supplied for such facility or such activity within the United States which fails to comply or contains a defect.

No basic components have been determined to fail to comply or contain a defect. This is an interim report. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components supplied for construction of V. C. Summer Unit 2 & 3 and Vogtle Unit 3 & 4 nuclear projects.

(iii) Identification of the firm constructing the facility or supplying the basic component which fails to comply or contains a defect.

No basic components have been determined to fail to comply or contain a defect. This is an interim report. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components supplied for construction of V. C. Summer Unit 2 & 3 and Vogtle Unit 3 & 4 nuclear projects. The affected modules and sub-modules are being supplied by CBI Lake Charles, 3191 West Lincoln Rd., Lake Charles, LA 70605.

(iv) Nature of the defect or failure to comply and the safety hazard which is created or could be created by such defect or failure to comply.

No basic components have been determined to fail to comply or contain a defect. This is an interim report. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components supplied for construction of V. C. Summer Unit 2 & 3 and Vogtle Unit 3 & 4 nuclear projects.

It is currently expected that the evaluation of these conditions will be completed by August 19, 2014.

(v) The date on which the information of such defect or failure to comply was obtained.

The discovery date of these deviations is based on the date of the letter provided by CB&I Lake Charles to CB&I Power. That letter is dated April 11, 2014. Due to processing error, the April 11, 2014,

Attachment to Letter Dated July 3, 2014 Page 2 of 2 transmittal letter was not properly identified and tracked for Part 21 reportability evaluation. The failure to properly identify and track this condition has been identified in the CB&I Power Corrective Action Program.

(vi) In the case of a basic component which contains a defect or fails to comply, the number and location of these components in use at, supplied for, being supplied for, or may be supplied for, manufactured, or being manufactured for one or more facilities or activities subject to the regulations in this part.

No basic components have been determined to fail to comply or contain a defect. This is an interim report. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components supplied for construction of V. C. Summer Unit 2 & 3 and Vogtle Unit 3 & 4 nuclear projects.

(vii) The corrective action which has been, is being, or will be taken; the name of the individual or organization responsible for the action; and the length of time that has been or will be taken to complete the action.

No basic components have been determined to fail to comply or contain a defect. This is an interim report. The deviations that are being evaluated are associated with measurement of surface contamination and conductimetric analysis of water soluble ionic contamination of blasting abrasives used on module and sub-module components supplied for construction of V. C. Summer Unit 2 & 3 and Vogtle Unit 3 & 4 nuclear projects.

It is currently expected that the evaluation of these conditions will be completed by August 19, 2014.

(viii) Any advice related to the defect or failure to comply about the facility, activity, or basic component that has been, is being, or will be given to purchasers or licensees.
