SUBJECT:

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION VENDOR INSPECTION OF WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY LLC, CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, REPORT NO. 99900404/2015-202 and NOTICES OF NONCONFORMANCE

Dear Mr. Hamilton:

On January 26-30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an inspection at the Westinghouse Electric Company (here-after referred to as WEC) facility in Cranberry Township, PA. The purpose of this limited-scope reactive inspection was to assess WECs compliance with the provisions of selected portions of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, and 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.

On March 13, 2015, we held a telephone conference call to perform a second exit meeting to provide you and your staff the final inspection results.

This technically focused inspection specifically evaluated WECs implementation of quality activities associated with oversight of suppliers; and resolution of technical issues such as the containment condensate return and management of hydrogen inside containment during accident conditions. The enclosed report presents the results of the inspection. This NRC inspection report does not constitute NRC endorsement of WECs overall quality assurance (QA) or 10 CFR Part 21 programs.

During this inspection, the NRC staff determined that the implementation of the WEC QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements imposed on you by your customers.

Specifically, the staff determined that WEC was not fully implementing its QA program in the areas of corrective actions, oversight of suppliers, and audits. Several WEC corrective actions were neither timely nor effective in correcting these deficiencies.

The NRC is concerned with the inspection findings based on this limited scope inspection.

Although WEC had an NRC-approved QA program meeting the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, NRC inspectors identified examples of WECs inadequate implementation of the QA program in several areas. The examples indicate that WEC did not (1) adequately implement timely and appropriate corrective actions to address problems with the oversight of

S. Hamilton suppliers and the use of the qualified supplier list, (2) ensure that suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment and services conformed to procurement documents. The enclosed Notices of Nonconformance (NON) cite these nonconformances, and the enclosed report describes the circumstances surrounding them.

Please provide a written statement or explanation within 30 days from the date of this letter in accordance with the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance. If you have additional information that you believe the NRC should consider, you may provide it in your response to the Notice. The NRC review of your response to the Notice will also determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. We request that in your response to the NONs, WEC documents the extent of condition on the implementation of your QA program and ensure all issues are identified and adequately addressed in your corrective action programs. The NRC will consider extending the response time if you show good cause to do so.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure(s), and your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system (ADAMS), accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response, (if applicable), should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction. If personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request that such material is withheld from public disclosure, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information).

Sincerely,

/RA/ (RMcIntyre for)

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION VENDOR INSPECTION OF WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY LLC, CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, REPORT NO. 99900404/2015-202 and NOTICES OF NONCONFORMANCE DISTRIBUTION:

ASakadales RRasmussen KKavanagh hamiltsk@westinghouse.com wesselrp@westinghouse.com

NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Westinghouse Electric Company Docket No. 99900404 Cranberry, PA Based on the results of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted at Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) located in Cranberry Township, PA on January 26 through January 30, 2015, certain activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements which were contractually imposed on WEC by NRC licensees.

A. Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50 states, in part, that The quality assurance functions are those of (1) assuring that an appropriate quality assurance program is established and effectively executed; and (2) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed.

Section 2.3.1, WEC Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states, in part, that Senior management establishes overall expectations for effective implementation of the QA program and is responsible for obtaining the desired end result. It further states that The Senior Vice Presidents have overall responsibility and are accountable for the effective implementation of the QMS for applicable activities.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to ensure that portions of the QA program were effectively executed, and verify that activities affecting safety-related functions have been correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This included the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list.

Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01.

B. Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, that, Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Section 5.5.1 of the WEC QMS, Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states that Conditions adverse to quality of items and services are identified, documented, analyzed, and corrected in accordance with established procedures. For significant Enclosure 1

conditions adverse to quality, these procedures provide for identification; assignment of responsibility for corrective action; documentation of the cause and corrective action taken, implementation, evaluation, and verification of corrective action to prevent recurrence; and reporting to the appropriate levels of management.

Section 7.5.1 of WEC Procedure 16.2, Westinghouse Corrective Action Program, Revision 7.0, dated April 3, 2012, states, in part, that A Corrective Action plan shall be developed for each issue commensurate with its consequences, complexity and Significance level, and in a manner that ensures all conditions adverse to quality are effectively addressed.

WEC Procedure 16.11, Issue Review Committee, Revision 1.0, dated August 20, 2014, Appendix A, Guidance For Classifying Conditions Adverse to Quality, includes the following example for significant condition adverse to quality (SCAQ), A repetitive problem indicating a programmatic failure or a precursor of a major technical deficiency.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to establish measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality were promptly corrected, and for significant conditions adverse to quality, corrective actions were taken to preclude repetition.

Specific examples include:

1. WEC failed to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related purchase orders placed to suppliers not on the Qualified Supplier List (QSL) or without restrictions required by the QSL.

Specifically, Corrective Action Process (CAPs) Issue Report 10-014-W012, issued in January 2010, Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, remained open for approximately 56 months, had been ineffective in resolving the significant condition adverse to quality, and was closed to Corrective Action, Prevention, and Learning System (CAPAL) Issue ID 100000472. CAPAL 100000472 documented that CAPs 10-014-W012 had not been effective and that from January 2011 to August 2013 there were over 50 CAPS issue reports, including four high level issues that documented problems with supplier control issues. CAPAL 100000472 was initiated in May 2013 and remains open as of January 30, 2015. The recurrent issue of significant condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related purchase orders placed to suppliers not on the QSL or without restrictions required by the QSL was documented in January 2010 and has not been resolved.

2. WEC failed to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037, Root Cause Analysis for Nonconforming Fuel Assembly Shipped to Indian Point 2.

Specifically, the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037 was identified as management failed to reinforce established standards, which resulted in an incomplete supplier audit checklist, acceptance of finding responses without objective evidence and not issuing a Stop Work Order in compliance with WEC 15.5, Stop Work, Revision 5.0 dated December 12, 2014. The corrective actions provided for retraining of the Auditors, but did not specifically address the management aspect of enforcing established standards and program requirements. WEC identified in the final effectiveness review for the root cause that the corrective action was ineffective and similar problems continued to occur. WEC closed CAPs 12-045-C037 to CAPAL 100026711 to resolve the issues. The recurrent issue of the significant condition adverse to quality associated with management failing to reinforce established standards for supplier audits was identified in January 2013 in the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037 and has not been resolved. WEC also failed to initiate CAPAL or document action to address why this root cause corrective action was not effective.

3. WEC failed to promptly correct and prevent recurrence of a SCAQ associated with the internal audit program. Specifically, WEC identified repetitive issues with significant weaknesses in the internal audit program, which indicate a programmatic failure that, in accordance with guidance in WEC 16.11, Issue Review Committee, Revision 1.0 dated August 20, 2014, should have been classified as a SCAQ, to ensure that there was an adequate and effective corrective action. CAPAL 100016265 was issued on March 19, 2014, and identified concerns with the internal audit program, including planning, scheduling, coordinating, scope definition and depth. WEC did not consider these issues to be a SQAC and closed the CAPAL on August 26, 2014. On October 17, 2014, WEC initiated CAPAL 100052988 which identified significant weaknesses in the conduct of internal audits, missed audits, audit frequency mismatch, inadequate audit scope, inadequate audit objective evidence, and inadequate audit plan. WEC did not consider this CAPAL a SCAQ and corrective actions were still open. In addition, the programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program resulted in a failure to identify and correct issues, with the consequence of WEC being in non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

The 2013 internal audit of Newington, WEC 13-35: Westinghouse Newington, identified a procedural issue with commercial grade dedication, but did not identify any issues with implementation of commercial grade dedication at Newington. The 2013 internal audit of NuCrane, WEC 13-40: Westinghouse Par Nuclear - NuCrane, did not identify any issues related to measuring and test equipment (M&TE).

However, the NRC inspections of Newington in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901392/2014-201, and Westinghouse Fuel Handling Equipment and Crane Manufacturing (NuCrane Manufacturing) in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901452/2014-201, resulted in the issuance of Notices of Nonconformance related to programmatic issues with inadequate commercial grade dedication and not implementing part of the M&TE program, respectively.

4. WEC failed to promptly initiate an issue report for a SCAQ that adversely impacted the AP1000 design containment condensate return portion of the Passive Core Cooling System needed to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition.

Specifically, an invalid design assumption was identified in 2010; and WEC did not initiate an issue report until July 9, 2012. Also, once initiated, CAPS Issue Report 12-191-M015 was not treated as a SCAQ. Additionally, WEC failed to perform an adequate extent-of-condition review for other possible incorrect design assumptions because their evaluation only focused on potential process issues rather than sampling other similar design assumptions.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

C. Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50, states, in part, that Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services, whether purchased directly or through contractors and subcontractors, conform to the procurement documents. These measures shall include provisions, as appropriate, for source evaluation and selection, objective evidence of quality furnished by the contractor or subcontractor, inspection at the contractor or subcontractor source, and examination of products upon delivery. The effectiveness of the control of quality by contractors and subcontractors shall be assessed by the applicant or designee at intervals consistent with the importance, complexity, and quantity of the product or services.

Section 4.3.2, Supplier Selection, of WEC QMS, Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states, in part, that The purchasing organization is responsible for placing orders only with suppliers that have been found acceptable in accordance with established procedures. Section 4.3.2 further states that Suppliers of safety-related items and services are evaluated and selected prior to their designation as a qualified supplier.

These methods include one or more of the following: (a) evaluation of the suppliers history (including current CAPs ability) of providing the same or similar item in accordance with specified requirements; (b) review of the suppliers current quality records supported by documented qualitative and quantitative information which can be objectively evaluated; and/or (c) the suppliers technical and quality CAPs ability determined by a source evaluation of their facilities, personnel interviews, and the content and implementation of their quality program. Suppliers of safety-related items and services for nuclear power plants not subject to NRC regulations are evaluated and qualified in accordance with the requirements of the governing regulatory agency or customer contract.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to verify that their suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conform to the procurement documents. Specific examples include:

1. WEC failed to perform an adequate evaluation of L&S Machine Company LLC (L&S) to verify L&Ss qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as welding, nondestructive examination (NDE), and heat treatment and plating, which was required for the procurement of reactor fuel assembly top and bottom nozzles, top nozzle spring clamps and spiders. The Supplier Audit Evaluation Summary (SAES) completed by WEC for L&S indicated that L&S was qualified to perform machining services. Purchase orders issued to L&S from WEC required L&S to perform dedication, welding, NDE, heat treatment and plating which is outside of the approved scope of work identified in the SAES. This discrepancy in qualification resulted in products manufactured by L&S being in an indeterminate status relative to quality standards.

2. WEC failed to perform an adequate evaluation of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC), prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order (PO) 4500429292. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order. As a result, products shipped from PMC are considered to be in an indeterminate status relative to quality standards.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Westinghouse Electric Company Inspection Report No. 99900404/2015-202 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an announced, reactive inspection at Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC), in Cranberry, Township, PA, from January 26-30, 2015. The purpose of the inspection was to review the implementation of the WEC Quality Assurance (QA) program pursuant to Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, and 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.

This technically focused inspection specifically evaluated WECs implementation of quality activities associated with oversight of suppliers; and resolution of significant technical issues such as the containment condensate return and management of hydrogen inside containment during accident conditions.

The following regulations serve as the bases for the NRC inspection:

• Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50

• 10 CFR Part 21 During conduct of this reactive inspection, the NRC inspection team implemented inspection procedure (IP) 43003, Reactive Inspections of Nuclear Vendors, supplemented by IP 36100, Inspection of 10 CFR Part 21 and Programs for Reporting Defects and Noncompliance, and IP 43004, Inspection of Commercial-Grade Dedication Programs.

The NRCs last two vendor inspections at WEC in Cranberry Township, PA included inspection of safety related code and software (NRC Inspection Report No. 99900404/2013-202 dated June 6, 2013), and also inspection of design changes and root cause analyses (NRC Inspection Report No. 99900404/2013-201 dated March 27, 2013).

The NRC inspection team determined that, in general, WEC implemented the QA program providing oversight of safety related activities during the resolution of technical issues such as the AP1000 issue of managing hydrogen in containment. The NRC inspection team identified examples of WECs inadequate implementation of the QA program in several areas. These examples indicate that WEC 1) did not provide adequate oversight of suppliers and properly maintain the qualified supplier list, 2) and did not take timely and effective corrective actions for significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the containment condensate return issue, issues associated with the implementation of procurement program requirements, conducting effective audits, and the failure of management to reinforce established standards for supplier audits which was previously identified in January 2013 and has not been resolved.

The results of the inspection are summarized below:

Organization The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01 in association with WECs failure to ensure that an appropriate QA program was established and effectively executed; and verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting safety-related functions were correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

Corrective Action The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 in association with WECs failure to take appropriate measures to ensure that, for significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition was determined and the appropriate corrective actions were taken. Specifically, WEC failed to promptly correct the significant condition adverse to quality identified in Corrective Action, Prevention, and Learning System (CAPAL) Issue ID 100000472, which identified recurrent issues with Purchase Orders (POs) issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions. WEC also failed to take adequate corrective action for the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPs Issue Report 12-045-C037, which identified as the root cause that management failed to reinforce the established standards for performing supplier audits.

Internal Audits The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of the internal audit program. WEC self-identified problems with performance of audits but did not consider the problems to be significant conditions adverse to quality. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for the CAPALs that documented issues with implementation of the internal audit program. The corrective actions for these CAPALs were still in progress and therefore were not evaluated for effectiveness by the NRC inspection team. The NRC inspection team identified the issues associated with the internal audit program as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, which was issued for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant conditions adverse to quality.

Oversight of Suppliers The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03 for WECs failure to verify that their suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. Specifically, WEC failed to: (1) evaluate L&S Machine Companys, LLC (L&Ss) qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as nondestructive examination (NDE), welding, heat treatment and plating services, which were required for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, and (2) provide objective evidence that an adequate evaluation of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC) was performed prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to reevaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in a qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order.

Design Control Potential Hydrogen Generation and Management During Beyond Design Basis Accidents The NRC inspection team reviewed the WEC methodology and analysis for implementing combustible gas control for the AP1000 design, including requests for pending design changes, for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 Combustible gas control for nuclear power reactors (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed and personnel interviewed, the NRC inspection team determined that WEC is meeting the regulatory requirements of Criterion III, Design Control, for combustible gas control for the AP1000. No findings of significance were identified.

Containment Condensate Return The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 for WECs failure to take prompt and effective corrective actions associated with an incorrect design assumption for the containment condensate return which is necessary to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. The issue was not entered into the corrective action process in a timely manner, was not treated as a significant condition adverse to quality, and the extent-of-condition review was inadequate.

REPORT DETAILS

1. 10 CFR Part 21 Program

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed the policies and implementing procedures that govern WECs implementation of 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance program. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of WECs 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations from the last two years to verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of Failure to Comply or Existence of a Defect and its Evaluation. Additionally, the team reviewed a sample of Purchase Orders (POs) issued by WEC for the purchase of safety related materials, services and equipment to verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.31, Procurement Documents. The inspectors also reviewed WECs procedures that govern corrective action and nonconforming conditions to verify adequate implementation of the regulatory requirements to identify and correct conditions adverse to quality.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified.

c. Conclusions Based on the review of WECs 10 CFR Part 21 program, implementing procedures, and a sample of 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations, the NRC inspection team determined that WECs process met regulatory requirements. No findings of significance were identified.

2. Design Control

a. Inspection Scope Potential Hydrogen Generation and Management during Beyond Design Basis Accidents The NRC inspection team reviewed design basis documents associated with the potential generation and management of hydrogen during a beyond design basis event (hereafter called combustible gas control) for the AP1000 design, to verify that the design, including requests for pending design changes, is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.44 Combustible Gas Control for Nuclear Power Reactors, Section (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the re-analysis for combustible gas control for the AP1000, focusing on the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST), and the Core Makeup Tank (CMT) compartments. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of associated WEC calculations, to ensure that they met the requirements of Criterion III, Design Control of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of design documents, including requests for pending design changes, for the AP1000 Containment Hydrogen Control System (VLS), IRWST, and the CMT compartments, to ensure that the VLS system would meet the Design Control Document (DCD) requirements. The NRC inspection team observed a demonstration of a WEC 3-D electronic model, focusing on the containment, the IRWST, and the CMT compartments. The NRC inspection team also reviewed a sample of corrective action documents associated with combustible gas control and the VLS to ensure that the regulatory requirements were met.

The NRC inspection team interviewed WEC employees to assess their understanding of the requirements for combustible gas control, and how the AP1000 design meets these requirements. The interviews included technical experts, and the questions focused on how the analysis was implemented by the design.

Containment Condensate Return The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of the design and corrective action documents related to the containment condensate return portion of the passive residual heat removal heat exchanger (PRHR-HX) which removes heat from the reactor during an event and transfers the heat to the IRWST. A significant technical and licensing issue was the resolution of an inadequate design input for containment condensate return. During licensing review activities in the United Kingdom in 2010, WEC received a Technical Question requesting a basis for the 90 percent condensate return rate used to support the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) performance analysis. WEC formed a test team in spring 2011 to develop a basis for the previously unsubstantiated input assumption. Initial test results quickly indicated that the 90 percent return rate was inaccurate. Subsequent tests with various test conditions were completed by Summer 2012.

The attachments to the inspection report lists the individuals interviewed and documents reviewed.

b. Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified regarding potential hydrogen generation and management during beyond design basis accidents.

WEC initiated testing and various hardware modifications to increase the amount of condensate return flow. The initial return flow of 90 percent was not conservative and resulted in degraded performance of the PRHR-HX. The hardware modifications included: adding dams to the top of the polar crane girder, adding dams to control the flow of condensate on an equipment hatch near the gutters, plugging holes that could provide a loss path for the condensate, adding flow diverters, adding splash guards, modifying the gutter for optimum performance, and placing restrictions to new attachments on the containment wall.

The NRC inspection team reviewed various corrective action documents on the condensate return issue dating back to 2012. Additionally, the NRC inspection team interviewed WEC personnel who identified the problem and were involved in developing corrective actions. A Part 21 evaluation was also performed which concluded that a substantial safety hazard did not exist because there was no total loss of the safety function. The NRC inspection team determined this Part 21 evaluation to be adequate.

The first corrective action item for this issue was CAPS Issue Report #12-191-M015, dated July 9, 2012, approximately one year after WEC determined that the 90 percent rate was not supported by test results. The suggested priority was Medium which was then confirmed by the WEC Issue Review Board. As a Medium level issue, an Apparent Cause Analysis (ACA) and Extent of Condition (EOC) were required per the WEC corrective action program, WEC 16.2, Westinghouse Corrective Action Program, Revision 7 dated March 31, 2014. The ACA identified four apparent causes including:

1. input design calculation was missing, causing invalid and insufficient inputs;

2. systems group made an assumption based on verbal conversation;

3. functional requirement was not properly captured and not communicated to the containment vessel group; and

4. containment vessel group did not question what specific requirements needed to be met.

The NRC inspection team determined that the apparent cause review and findings were adequate. However, the NRC inspection team identified three concerns related to the lack of prompt identification, evaluation, and implementation of corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

The NRC inspection team determined that the EOC was not adequate because it only referred to an ongoing commitment related to a different CAPAL item covering design interface communication deficiencies. This design interface communication improvement effort did not search for similar design inputs as the condensate return issue that involved the lack of a formal basis such as calculations and test results. The EOC performed only investigated the process related issues, which did not address all four of the identified apparent causes. Specifically, AC-1, Input to design calculation is missing, causing invalid and insufficient inputs was not adequately addressed by the stated EOC analysis. Additionally, prior to this inspection, the NRC staff identified this concern regarding the potential for additional unsupported input assumptions during a phone call in early December 2014. WEC opened a new CAPAL (#100068146) regarding the NRC staff concerns about the EOC evaluation.

The NRC inspection team also identified that CAPs Issue Report No. 12-191-M0-15 was not initiated until approximately two years after it was discovered that there was no technical basis for the 90 percent return rate assumption. This was several months after WEC testing proved that the 90 percent return rate assumption was incorrect. Lastly, the NRC inspection team identified that CAPs Issue Report # 2-191-M0-15 should have been opened as a high level priority 1 or 2, to ensure that the issue was treated as a significant condition adverse to quality (SCAQ). Appendix A, Additional Guidance for Conditions Adverse to Quality, of WEC 16.2, Revision 7, provides guidance on how to determine the significance for an identified condition adverse to quality. The NRC inspection team determined that the reduced condensate return rate for the Safe Shutdown Calculations should be considered a SCAQ since it potentially could affect the ECCS ability to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. Appendix A gives examples of SCAQs including Deviations from performance specifications that require major evaluations, redesign, or repair to establish the adequacy of the structure, system, or component to perform its intended function.

Collectively, these concerns identified by the NRC inspection team represent an example of WECs failure to implement Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Specifically, for the inadequate design assumption of the containment condensate return issue, WEC failed to promptly initiate a corrective action document, the corrective action document was assigned the wrong significance level, and the extent of condition review was determined to be inadequate. The NRC inspection team was concerned that a proper extent of condition review had not been performed. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team reviewed the WEC methodology and analysis for implementing combustible gas control for the AP1000 design, including requests for pending design changes, for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 Combustible gas control for nuclear power reactors (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed and personnel interviewed the NRC inspection team also determined that WEC is meeting the regulatory requirements of Criterion III, Design Control and Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for combustible gas control for the AP1000. No findings of significance were identified.

The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 for WECs failure to take prompt and effective corrective actions associated with an incorrect design assumption for the containment condensate return which is necessary to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. The issue was not entered into the corrective action process in a timely manner, was not treated as a significant condition adverse to quality, and the extent-of-condition review was inadequate.

3. Oversight of Suppliers

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WECs policies and implementing procedures that govern its oversight of contracted activities, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of supplier (external) audits, surveillances, and assessments, to determine the adequacy of WECs performance of supplier oversight activities. The NRC inspection team also reviewed the disposition of audit and surveillance findings for adequacy.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of procurement documents issued by WEC for the purchase of safety-related and augmented quality items and services, to verify that the qualifications and restrictions identified on the WEC QSL were imposed in the applicable procurement documents. Also, the NRC inspection team verified that the implementation of WECs Supplier Audit/Evaluation Summary (SAES), which was required to be updated with supplier qualification data per the results of each audit or assessment, was completed in accordance with WEC 7.1, Supplier QA Program Qualification and Assessment. The SAES reflects the current qualifications and restrictions imposed on the supplier by the QSL. The NRC inspection team verified that the qualifications and restrictions identified in the SAES match the restrictions that WEC imposed in the applicable procurement documents.

The NRC inspection team discussed the control of purchased material, equipment, and services with WECs management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team reviewed the audits of L&S Machine Company conducted by WEC over the last four years.

During the review of WEC audit WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that Section 10 of the audit checklist pertaining to dedication and unqualified source material had not been evaluated by the auditor. The auditor, under the note comment section, included a statement that there had not been any evidence that L&S performed commercial grade dedication. Section 8 of the audit checklist contradicts the note comment from Section 10 stating that L&S performed commercial grade dedication for calibration services. Further, the NRC inspection team noted that the scope of the audit did not evaluate L&Ss engineering capabilities to perform commercial grade dedication.

During the review of a supplemental audit to WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that WEC issued Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR) 12-130-M042 for L&Ss lack of any reference to a commercial-grade dedication process in their Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) and lack of details pursuant to the technical evaluation required by engineering for identification of critical characteristics and acceptance methods in their procedure for commercial dedication of materials or services. This SCAR led to WEC adding a restriction to the L&S SAES, on May 17, 2012, to prohibit L&S from performing commercial grade dedication until the SCAR was evaluated and closed. WEC continued to issue POs that required L&S to perform commercial grade dedication services. On September 13, 2012, WEC determined that L&Ss response to SCAR 12-130-M042 was adequate and closed the SCAR. The restriction on commercial grade dedication was removed from the L&S SAES. The NRC inspection team reviewed the L&S QAM, and noted that at the time of the inspection, L&S did not have an engineering function to perform commercial grade dedication. The NRC inspection team also reviewed L&Ss response to SCAR 12-130-M042 and determined that the response was inadequate. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S to verify they had the capabilities to perform commercial grade dedication under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that required L&S to perform commercial grade dedication which was an activity outside of the approved scope of work for L&S. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

Additionally, during the review of audit WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that L&S was performing special processes such as welding, non-destructive examination (NDE), heat treatment, and plating. The NRC inspection team reviewed the audit checklist and SAES corresponding to audit WES-2011-186 and noted that neither document provided objective evidence to demonstrate that the WEC audit team evaluated if L&S program had the necessary measures in place that qualified them to perform NDE qualifications, NDE tests, weld qualifications, or any of the special processes included in the procurement documents from WEC to L&S. Also, the NRC inspection team reviewed audits WES-2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R, to determine if WEC had evaluated L&Ss welding procedures and qualifications. Audits WES-2012-105 and WES-2012-106 did not evaluate the performance of welding activities at L&S. Audit WES-2013-065-R stated that qualification of welders was performed in accordance with Section IX, Welding and Brazing Qualifications, of the Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code. The NRC inspection team noted that the checklist from audits WES 2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R did not provide objective evidence that L&S had the necessary engineering function in place to have a welding program. Also, the L&S QAM did not include engineering roles and responsibilities to implement a welding program in accordance with ASME code. During the review of the QAM and audit reports, the NRC inspection team was unable to confirm how the L&S welders were qualified and how these qualifications were maintained. The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team to discuss WECs evaluation of L&Ss welding capabilities. The WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team was unable to provide objective evidence that demonstrated that WEC approved L&S to perform welding activities. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S to verify they had the capabilities to perform welding activities under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that required L&S to perform welding activities, which were outside of the approved scope of work of L&S. This issue has been identified as example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed three of the most recent POs issued by WEC to L&S, to ensure that material, equipment and services being purchased conformed to the procurement documents. POs 4500449276, 4500402277, and 4500601734 were issued for the procurement of top and bottom nozzle piece parts. During the review of the POs, the NRC inspection team found that additional restrictions and technical requirements were being imposed in the PO beyond what was imposed per the SAES. For example, PO 4500449276 included a statement prohibiting L&S from performing welding. Also, PO 4500601734 included non-destructive test results as a requirement for the QA hardware data package. In addition, PO 4500402277 invoked the requirements stated in Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements SQAR_1030 Revision 250. SQAR_1030 was issued for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, top nozzle spring clamps, and spiders. SQAR_1030 states: Any special process by the supplier or their sub-supplier, the results of which are highly dependent on the control of the process or the skill of the operator or both, and in which the specified quality cannot be readily determined by inspection or test of the product shall be controlled by written procedures that have been approved by WEC. Special processes include, but are not limited to:

welding, brazing, annealing, age hardening and nondestructive test method (radiography, ultrasonic, eddy current, etc.).

The NRC inspection team noted that SQAR_1030 included the following submittals as the minimum requirements for top and bottom nozzles: (1) Heat treatment, weld procedure(s) and welder qualifications; (2) Chrome plating or other surfaces treatment procedures; and (3) Non-destructive testing procedures used in lieu of WEC procedures required in a specification or on a drawing. The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team to discuss the flow of requirements from the SAES to the POs and those additional requirements listed in SQAR_1030. The WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team was unable to provide the origin or justification for the additional requirements included in the POs that were not identified in the SAES.

The NRC inspection team reviewed audits WES-2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R and their respective checklists and concluded that there was no objective evidence in those reports that qualified L&S to perform NDE and special process activities. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S, to verify if they had the capabilities to perform NDE and special processes under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that referenced SQAR_1030 which required L&S to perform NDE and special processes which were activities outside of the approved scope of work of L&S. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the audits and assessments of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC) that were conducted by WEC in the last four years.

The NRC inspection team reviewed Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 of PMC conducted in January of 2011. The Assessment Report stated that WEC-2011-012 was planned by WEC to be conducted as an audit, to verify compliance of PMCs QA program and its implementation in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21. Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 further stated that, It was determined that the quality program did not meet the full requirements of a Safety-Related quality program. As a result, the audit was terminated and an assessment was performed to document the controls that were in place at PMC.

The NRC inspection team observed that Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 determined that PMCs Audit, Training/Certification, and Records programs were unsatisfactory. In addition, the QA program element for Design was found to be unsatisfactory, although the implementation was determined by WEC to be satisfactory. The Assessment Report did not document any SCARs that were issued to PMC for those areas that were found to be unsatisfactory. The NRC inspection team also observed that Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 stated the following procurement restriction: Westinghouse shall not issue any safety-related purchase orders to Peerless Manufacturing Company; however, there were no other restrictions identified based on WECs determination that several areas were found to be unsatisfactory.

The NRC inspection team reviewed SAES ID 16782 dated September 9, 2011, for PMC.

The SAES indicated that based on Assessment WES-2011-012, PMC was in the qualified status on the QSL, with QA program requirements meeting Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and the following QA program elements marked as Acceptable:

Organization; QA Program; Design Control; Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings; Document Control; and Quality Assurance Records. All other QA program elements were marked as Not Applicable. SAES 16782 also included a restriction stating: The responsibility for 10 CFR Part 21 shall be retained by Westinghouse. SAES 16782 did not include the procurement restriction identified in Assessment Report WES-2011-012.

The NRC inspection team further reviewed SAES ID 15693 dated March 8, 2012 for PMC. The NRC inspection team observed that SAES ID 15683 changed the QSL supplier status for PMC by deleting references to Appendix B from the QA Program Requirements field. However, the SAES further stated, The suppliers QA program is required to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B as specified by the WEC purchase order. The supplier will be maintained on the Westinghouse QSL as a non-safety-related supplier.

The NRC inspection team also reviewed SAES ID 17296 dated March 12, 2012, and SAES ID 17301 dated March 13, 2012. The changes documented in SAES IDs 17296 and 17301 were mostly administrative. SAES ID 17301 was issued to document the results of the Annual Evaluation that was performed to assess the continued capability of PMC to supply acceptable items and services. SAES ID 17301 noted a change in the PMC QA Manual revision, and all status indications for PMC as a WEC qualified supplier remained the same.

The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight personnel to discuss the changes made to the QSL supplier status for PMC and the bases for those changes, as documented in audits and assessments of PMC. They were unable to provide the origin or justification for the changes made to the QSL supplier status for PMC documented in the SAES.

The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC PO 4500429292 issued to PMC for design and analysis work of the secondary separator panels (steam dryer vane panels).

Section 11, References, of the PO stated, in part, This item/service is nuclear safety-related; 10 CFR Part 21 applies and Section 7, Quality Assurance, of the PO stated, in part, The Supplier is responsible for maintaining a Quality Assurance Program in compliance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B requirements for the scope of work in this purchase order. Based on the review of Assessment WES- 2011-012 and SAES IDs 16782, 15683, 17296, and 17301, the NRC inspection team determined that as of March 16, 2012, PMC was not approved as a supplier of safety-related items and services to WEC, in accordance with the requirements of WEC 7.1. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team further determined that the QA requirements remained unchanged in PO 4500429292 Change Notice (CN) 1 and CN 2 issued to PMC on October 22, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 3 issued on December 13, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 4 issued on December 20, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 5 issued on January 23, 2013; and PO 4500429292 CN 6 issued on February 8, 2013.

On October 30, 2012, after WEC issued PO 4500429292 CN 2 and prior to the issuance of PO 4500429292 CN 3 to PMC, WEC issued SAES ID 18340 which removed any references to Appendix B QA program requirements and stated that, WEC Engineering will define, through WEC Purchase Order, the quality requirements to PMC. It further stated: For WEC Annual Evaluations, the supplier QA program shall be evaluated to ensure that it complies with the applicable quality requirements invoked in the PO.

However, WEC did not issue a CN to PO 4500429292, to revise the quality assurance requirements, immediately following the change in the QSL status for PMC. Further, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed SAES ID 19158 for PMC, issued on June 13, 2013.

SAES ID 19158 stated, This Suppliers Quality program status is currently suspended and requires further evaluation. This supplier may not provide products or services to Westinghouse on the basis of its implemented quality program, and no product or items may be released or shipped from this supplier. The NRC inspection team determined that PMC remained in suspended status until July 30, 2014, when SAES ID 20579 documented placing PMC on the QSL in a qualified supplier status, based on the results of Commercial Grade Survey WES-2014-117. However, WEC continued to issue CNs to PO 4500429292, releasing manufacturing and allowing work to continue. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC is not effectively implementing its oversight of contracted activities in accordance with Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03 for WECs failure to:

(1) evaluate L&Ss qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as NDE, welding, heat treatment, and plating required for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, and (2) failure to provide objective evidence that an adequate evaluation of PMC was performed prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order.

4. Internal Audits

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WECs policies and implementing procedures that govern the internal audit program, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XVIII, Audits, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of internal audit reports, to verify implementation of the internal audit program. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of audit training and qualification records, to verify that audits were performed by appropriately trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the areas being audited.

The NRC inspection team verified that WEC had a program and procedures in place for conducting scheduled internal audits, and that the program and procedures were consistent with regulatory requirements. The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC 18.1, Internal Audits. The NRC inspection team reviewed the internal audit schedules and verified that internal audits were scheduled and performed at the minimum frequency specified in WEC 18.1.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of internal audit reports of various Westinghouse facilities by WEC Global Quality, to confirm that internal audits were performed using checklists and/or procedures and in accordance with WECs procedures. The NRC inspection team verified that these internal audit reports included audit plans, documented objective evidence, audit results, and documented evidence of review by responsible management, and that follow-up action was taken where indicated.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the training and qualification records of a sample of WEC auditors responsible for conducting internal audits at WEC, to confirm that all required training had been completed and maintained, and that qualifications and certifications were in accordance with WECs procedures. The NRC inspection team also reviewed WEC 2.8, Qualification of Audit Personnel.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of five internal audit reports of various Westinghouse facilities. The NRC inspection team observed multiple examples of internal audit report checklists not including adequate, sufficient, and/or clear objective evidence to support audit conclusions, and examples where checklist sections were not completed and areas of implementation not fully evaluated within defined scope.

Examples include:

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of measures taken to control software quality (internal audit of Westinghouse in Cranberry Township, PA, report number WEC-12-19);

• Failure to document adequate objective evidence of implementation of procurement document control, sampling used during tests and inspections, control of measuring and test equipment, and control of documents (internal audit of Supplier Quality Engineering and Supplier Quality Oversight at Westinghouse in Cranberry Township, PA, report number WEC-12-50);

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of measures taken to control software quality and special processes and failure to document adequate objective evidence of implementation in the areas of inspection and test control, control of nonconforming items, and 10 CFR Part 21 (internal audit of WesDyne in Madison, PA and Windsor, CT, report number WEC-13-28);

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of implementation of the commercial grade dedication process (internal audit of Westinghouse Newington, report number WEC-13-35). Section 3 of the report stated that audit personnel havent examined any dedication files due to time limitations. No supplemental audits were conducted.

• Failure to examine and/or adequately document objective evidence of implementation of areas of procurement document control (internal audit of Global Supply Chain Management at Westinghouse in Cranberry, Township PA, report number WEC-13-48).

One of the internal audit reports that the NRC inspection team requested to review had not yet been issued and, as of January 30, 2015, was overdue. Section 8.18 of WEC 18.1, Revision 3.0 requires that internal audit reports be issued to the responsible management of the audited organization within 30 days of the post-audit conference.

The NRC inspection team review of recent audits identified that there were six internal audit reports that had not yet been issued as of January 30, 2015, and were overdue.

Examples of overdue internal audit reports overdue include:

• Internal audit report WEC-14-08 of Western Zirconium #2 - 55 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-11 of Westinghouse Springfields Fuels (SPR14/088)

- 26 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-16, ASME Internal Audit - 28 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-35 of Westinghouse Newington - 54 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-46 of Westinghouse Waltz Mill - Rotating Equipment

- 26 days late; and

• Internal audit report WEC-14-58 of Westinghouse Vogtle - Site Engineering

- 19 days late.

The NRC inspection team discussed these issues with responsible WEC personnel and understood that similar issues with the implementation of the internal audit program have been previously identified by WEC and documented in a CAPAL. CAPAL 100016265, Improvements to Internal Audit Program (WEC 18.1), which was opened on March 19, 2014, and closed on August 26, 2014, identified issues with internal audit performance including issues similar to those observed by the NRC inspection team and discussed above. CAPAL 100052988, #3 Internal Audit findings by NTD (WEC-14-123)

(Internal Audits/Assessments), which was opened on October 17, 2014, and as of January 30, 2015, remained open, described issues similar to those documented in CAPAL 100016265 and included issues similar to those identified by the NRC inspection team. CAPAL 100052325, Trend Issue to Track/Determine Cause for Late Internal Audit Reports, which was opened on October 13, 2014, and as of January 30, 2015, remained open, identified the recurring problem with not issuing internal audit reports in accordance with timeliness requirements, over the last three years.

The NRC inspection team determined that none of the CAPALs were classified as a SCAQ. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for these CAPALs, to identify causes and develop corrective action plans that were commensurate with the consequences, complexity, and significance level of the identified issues, to ensure that all conditions adverse to quality were effectively addressed. The NRC inspection teams review of Appendix A, Guidance for Classifying Conditions Adverse to Quality, of procedure WEC 16.11, Issue Review Committee, determined that, because these issues were indicative of a programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program, they should have been classified as significant conditions adverse to quality.

In addition, the programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program resulted in a missed opportunity to identify and correct issues, with the consequence of WEC being in non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The 2013 internal audit of Newington identified a procedural issue with commercial grade dedication, but did not identify any issues with implementation of commercial grade dedication at Newington. The 2013 internal audit of NuCrane Manufacturing did not identify any issues related to measuring and test equipment (M&TE) at NuCrane. However, the NRC inspections of Newington in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901392/2014-201, and Westinghouse Fuel Handling Equipment and Crane Manufacturing (NuCrane Manufacturing) in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901452/2014-201, resulted in the issuance of notices of nonconformance related to programmatic issues with inadequate commercial grade dedication and not implementing a portion of the M&TE program, respectively.

The NRC inspection team identified these issues as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant condition adverse to quality associated with the internal audit program.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC is not effectively implementing its corrective action process with regard to implementation of the internal audit program.

The NRC inspection team determined that programmatic failures in the WEC internal audit program had been previously identified by WEC. However, WEC did not consider them to be significant conditions adverse to quality. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for the CAPALs that documented issues with implementation of the internal audit program. The corrective actions for these CAPALs were still in progress and therefore were not evaluated for effectiveness by the NRC inspection team. The NRC inspection team identified the issues associated with the internal audit program as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant conditions adverse to quality.

5. Corrective Action

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC policies and implementing procedures that govern the corrective action program, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. WECs corrective action system changed from Corrective Action Process (CAPS) to CAPAL on April 1, 2014. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of CAPs/CAPALs (hereinafter collectively referred to as CAPALs) related to the technical areas of the inspection, including control of combustible gas, condensate return, supplier oversight, procurement, and internal audits, to verify that: (1) conditions adverse to quality were promptly identified and corrected, and (2) for significant conditions adverse to quality, the CAPALs specified the cause of these conditions and corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

The NRC inspection team evaluated the adequacy of the corrective actions taken for control of combustible gas and condensate return, to ensure that the corrective action maintained the affected systems in accordance with the design basis. The NRC inspection team reviewed the documents to verify that findings from supplier and internal audits were properly entered into CAPALs. The NRC inspection team verified that when WEC identified a significant programmatic issue, corrective actions were developed and implemented. The NRC inspection team also verified that the CAPALs were screened for applicability of 10 CFR Part 21 and that a Part 21 evaluation was initiated when appropriate.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the individuals interviewed and documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team found that CAPALs documenting significant conditions adverse to quality related to the technical areas of the inspection for condensate return (discussed in Section 2, Containment Condensate Return subsection of this report),

supplier oversight, and internal audits (discussed in Section 4 of this report) had examples where the identification of the significant condition adverse to quality was not prompt, and/or the corrective action was not timely, and/or was not effective.

The NRC inspection team reviewed CAPAL Issue ID 100000472, Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, Reference IR 10-014-W012, (formerly CAPSs Issue Report (IR) Number 13-151-M013),

which was classified as a Level 1, Significant Condition Adverse to Quality CAPAL that has been open since May 22, 2013, and was still open, as of January 30, 2015. CAPAL Issue ID 100000472 documented recurrent issues with Purchase Orders issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions.

This CAPAL was issued after High Significant CAPs IR 10-014-W012, Purchase Requisition / Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, which was initiated on January 14, 2010, remained open for approximately four years and eight months and had been ineffective in resolving the significant condition adverse to quality. There was no corrective action to address why CAPs IR10-014-W012 had been ineffective, and the implementation of the corrective action has not been timely from the time the issue was first identified.

CAPs IR 12-045-C037, Root Cause Analysis for Nonconforming Fuel Assembly Shipped to Indian Point 2, Revision 1, dated January 31, 2013, identified that the root cause was management failing to reinforce established standards. There were no corrective actions that specifically addressed this root cause, and the last corrective action was completed June 12, 2013. The corrective action for the root cause was ineffective and similar problems continue to occur. WEC identified in their final effectiveness review for the root cause that the corrective action was ineffective. WEC is crediting an ongoing Strategic Quality Plan to resolve the issues with supplier oversight, but there is no action to address why CAPs 12-045-C037 had been ineffective, and the implementation of the corrective action has not been timely.

These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 in association with WECs failure to take appropriate measures to ensure that for significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition was determined and the appropriate corrective actions were taken. Specifically, WEC failed to promptly correct the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPAL Issue ID 100000472, which identified recurrent issues with Purchase Orders issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions. WEC also failed to take adequate corrective action for the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPs IR12-045-C037, which identified the root cause to be the management failure to reinforce established standards for performing internal audits.

6. Organization

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team evaluated implementation of WECs Corrective Action program and verified the ability to address significant conditions adverse to quality.

Additionally, the NRC inspection team evaluated WECs use of their qualified supplier list and their oversight of suppliers.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team evaluated the overall effect of uncorrected significant conditions adverse to quality in the supplier oversight and internal audit programs, and the ineffective use of the corrective action organization, program to resolve these issues.

Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part that [t]he QA functions are those of (1) assuring that an appropriate QA program is established and effectively executed; and (2) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed.

Section 2.3.1 of the WEC QMS states, Senior management establishes overall expectations for effective implementation of the QA program and is responsible for obtaining the desired end result. It further states, The Senior Vice Presidents have overall responsibility and are accountable for the effective implementation of the QMS for applicable activities.

The NRC inspection team determined that WEC failed to effectively execute and verify by auditing that activities affecting safety-related functions had been correctly performed.

Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01 in association with WECs failure to ensure that the QA functions of assuring that an appropriate QA program is established and effectively executed; and verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conform to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

7. Entrance and Exit Meeting On January 26, 2015, the NRC inspection team presented the inspection scope during an entrance meeting with Mr. Steve Hamilton, Senior Vice President and WEC staff. On January 30, 2015, the NRC inspection team presented the inspection findings during an exit meeting with Mr. Steve Hamilton and staff. On March 13, 2015, a re-exit meeting was conducted via telephone conference with Mr. Steve Hamilton and WEC staff to present the final results of this inspection. At the re-exit meeting, Mr. Edward Roach, Branch Chief of Mechanical Vendor Inspection Branch, led the final exit meeting discussions.

SUBJECT:

NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION VENDOR INSPECTION OF WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC COMPANY LLC, CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, REPORT NO. 99900404/2015-202 and NOTICES OF NONCONFORMANCE

Dear Mr. Hamilton:

On January 26-30, 2015, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an inspection at the Westinghouse Electric Company (here-after referred to as WEC) facility in Cranberry Township, PA. The purpose of this limited-scope reactive inspection was to assess WECs compliance with the provisions of selected portions of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, and 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.

On March 13, 2015, we held a telephone conference call to perform a second exit meeting to provide you and your staff the final inspection results.

This technically focused inspection specifically evaluated WECs implementation of quality activities associated with oversight of suppliers; and resolution of technical issues such as the containment condensate return and management of hydrogen inside containment during accident conditions. The enclosed report presents the results of the inspection. This NRC inspection report does not constitute NRC endorsement of WECs overall quality assurance (QA) or 10 CFR Part 21 programs.

During this inspection, the NRC staff determined that the implementation of the WEC QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements imposed on you by your customers.

Specifically, the staff determined that WEC was not fully implementing its QA program in the areas of corrective actions, oversight of suppliers, and audits. Several WEC corrective actions were neither timely nor effective in correcting these deficiencies.

The NRC is concerned with the inspection findings based on this limited scope inspection.

Although WEC had an NRC-approved QA program meeting the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, NRC inspectors identified examples of WECs inadequate implementation of the QA program in several areas. The examples indicate that WEC did not (1) adequately implement timely and appropriate corrective actions to address problems with the oversight of

S. Hamilton suppliers and the use of the qualified supplier list, (2) ensure that suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment and services conformed to procurement documents. The enclosed Notices of Nonconformance (NON) cite these nonconformances, and the enclosed report describes the circumstances surrounding them.

Please provide a written statement or explanation within 30 days from the date of this letter in accordance with the instructions specified in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance. If you have additional information that you believe the NRC should consider, you may provide it in your response to the Notice. The NRC review of your response to the Notice will also determine whether further enforcement action is necessary to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. We request that in your response to the NONs, WEC documents the extent of condition on the implementation of your QA program and ensure all issues are identified and adequately addressed in your corrective action programs. The NRC will consider extending the response time if you show good cause to do so.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.390 of the NRC's "Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter, its enclosure(s), and your response will be made available electronically for public inspection in the NRC Public Document Room or from the NRCs document system (ADAMS), accessible at http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/adams.html. To the extent possible, your response, (if applicable), should not include any personal privacy, proprietary, or safeguards information so that it can be made available to the Public without redaction. If personal privacy or proprietary information is necessary to provide an acceptable response, then please provide a bracketed copy of your response that identifies the information that should be protected and a redacted copy of your response that deletes such information. If you request that such material is withheld from public disclosure, you must specifically identify the portions of your response that you seek to have withheld and provide in detail the bases for your claim (e.g., explain why the disclosure of information will create an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy or provide the information required by 10 CFR 2.390(b) to support a request for withholding confidential commercial or financial information).

Sincerely,

/RA/ (RMcIntyre for)

ASakadales RRasmussen KKavanagh hamiltsk@westinghouse.com wesselrp@westinghouse.com

NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Westinghouse Electric Company Docket No. 99900404 Cranberry, PA Based on the results of a Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted at Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC) located in Cranberry Township, PA on January 26 through January 30, 2015, certain activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements which were contractually imposed on WEC by NRC licensees.

A. Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50 states, in part, that The quality assurance functions are those of (1) assuring that an appropriate quality assurance program is established and effectively executed; and (2) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed.

Section 2.3.1, WEC Quality Management System (QMS), Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states, in part, that Senior management establishes overall expectations for effective implementation of the QA program and is responsible for obtaining the desired end result. It further states that The Senior Vice Presidents have overall responsibility and are accountable for the effective implementation of the QMS for applicable activities.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to ensure that portions of the QA program were effectively executed, and verify that activities affecting safety-related functions have been correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This included the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list.

Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01.

B. Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, that, Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition.

Section 5.5.1 of the WEC QMS, Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states that Conditions adverse to quality of items and services are identified, documented, analyzed, and corrected in accordance with established procedures. For significant Enclosure 1

conditions adverse to quality, these procedures provide for identification; assignment of responsibility for corrective action; documentation of the cause and corrective action taken, implementation, evaluation, and verification of corrective action to prevent recurrence; and reporting to the appropriate levels of management.

Section 7.5.1 of WEC Procedure 16.2, Westinghouse Corrective Action Program, Revision 7.0, dated April 3, 2012, states, in part, that A Corrective Action plan shall be developed for each issue commensurate with its consequences, complexity and Significance level, and in a manner that ensures all conditions adverse to quality are effectively addressed.

WEC Procedure 16.11, Issue Review Committee, Revision 1.0, dated August 20, 2014, Appendix A, Guidance For Classifying Conditions Adverse to Quality, includes the following example for significant condition adverse to quality (SCAQ), A repetitive problem indicating a programmatic failure or a precursor of a major technical deficiency.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to establish measures to assure that conditions adverse to quality were promptly corrected, and for significant conditions adverse to quality, corrective actions were taken to preclude repetition.

Specific examples include:

1. WEC failed to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related purchase orders placed to suppliers not on the Qualified Supplier List (QSL) or without restrictions required by the QSL.

Specifically, Corrective Action Process (CAPs) Issue Report 10-014-W012, issued in January 2010, Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, remained open for approximately 56 months, had been ineffective in resolving the significant condition adverse to quality, and was closed to Corrective Action, Prevention, and Learning System (CAPAL) Issue ID 100000472. CAPAL 100000472 documented that CAPs 10-014-W012 had not been effective and that from January 2011 to August 2013 there were over 50 CAPS issue reports, including four high level issues that documented problems with supplier control issues. CAPAL 100000472 was initiated in May 2013 and remains open as of January 30, 2015. The recurrent issue of significant condition adverse to quality associated with safety-related purchase orders placed to suppliers not on the QSL or without restrictions required by the QSL was documented in January 2010 and has not been resolved.

2. WEC failed to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of a significant condition adverse to quality associated with the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037, Root Cause Analysis for Nonconforming Fuel Assembly Shipped to Indian Point 2.

Specifically, the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037 was identified as management failed to reinforce established standards, which resulted in an incomplete supplier audit checklist, acceptance of finding responses without objective evidence and not issuing a Stop Work Order in compliance with WEC 15.5, Stop Work, Revision 5.0 dated December 12, 2014. The corrective actions provided for retraining of the Auditors, but did not specifically address the management aspect of enforcing established standards and program requirements. WEC identified in the final effectiveness review for the root cause that the corrective action was ineffective and similar problems continued to occur. WEC closed CAPs 12-045-C037 to CAPAL 100026711 to resolve the issues. The recurrent issue of the significant condition adverse to quality associated with management failing to reinforce established standards for supplier audits was identified in January 2013 in the root cause for CAPs 12-045-C037 and has not been resolved. WEC also failed to initiate CAPAL or document action to address why this root cause corrective action was not effective.

3. WEC failed to promptly correct and prevent recurrence of a SCAQ associated with the internal audit program. Specifically, WEC identified repetitive issues with significant weaknesses in the internal audit program, which indicate a programmatic failure that, in accordance with guidance in WEC 16.11, Issue Review Committee, Revision 1.0 dated August 20, 2014, should have been classified as a SCAQ, to ensure that there was an adequate and effective corrective action. CAPAL 100016265 was issued on March 19, 2014, and identified concerns with the internal audit program, including planning, scheduling, coordinating, scope definition and depth. WEC did not consider these issues to be a SQAC and closed the CAPAL on August 26, 2014. On October 17, 2014, WEC initiated CAPAL 100052988 which identified significant weaknesses in the conduct of internal audits, missed audits, audit frequency mismatch, inadequate audit scope, inadequate audit objective evidence, and inadequate audit plan. WEC did not consider this CAPAL a SCAQ and corrective actions were still open. In addition, the programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program resulted in a failure to identify and correct issues, with the consequence of WEC being in non-compliance with regulatory requirements.

The 2013 internal audit of Newington, WEC 13-35: Westinghouse Newington, identified a procedural issue with commercial grade dedication, but did not identify any issues with implementation of commercial grade dedication at Newington. The 2013 internal audit of NuCrane, WEC 13-40: Westinghouse Par Nuclear - NuCrane, did not identify any issues related to measuring and test equipment (M&TE).

However, the NRC inspections of Newington in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901392/2014-201, and Westinghouse Fuel Handling Equipment and Crane Manufacturing (NuCrane Manufacturing) in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901452/2014-201, resulted in the issuance of Notices of Nonconformance related to programmatic issues with inadequate commercial grade dedication and not implementing part of the M&TE program, respectively.

4. WEC failed to promptly initiate an issue report for a SCAQ that adversely impacted the AP1000 design containment condensate return portion of the Passive Core Cooling System needed to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition.

Specifically, an invalid design assumption was identified in 2010; and WEC did not initiate an issue report until July 9, 2012. Also, once initiated, CAPS Issue Report 12-191-M015 was not treated as a SCAQ. Additionally, WEC failed to perform an adequate extent-of-condition review for other possible incorrect design assumptions because their evaluation only focused on potential process issues rather than sampling other similar design assumptions.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

C. Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50, states, in part, that Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services, whether purchased directly or through contractors and subcontractors, conform to the procurement documents. These measures shall include provisions, as appropriate, for source evaluation and selection, objective evidence of quality furnished by the contractor or subcontractor, inspection at the contractor or subcontractor source, and examination of products upon delivery. The effectiveness of the control of quality by contractors and subcontractors shall be assessed by the applicant or designee at intervals consistent with the importance, complexity, and quantity of the product or services.

Section 4.3.2, Supplier Selection, of WEC QMS, Revision 7, dated October 1, 2013, states, in part, that The purchasing organization is responsible for placing orders only with suppliers that have been found acceptable in accordance with established procedures. Section 4.3.2 further states that Suppliers of safety-related items and services are evaluated and selected prior to their designation as a qualified supplier.

These methods include one or more of the following: (a) evaluation of the suppliers history (including current CAPs ability) of providing the same or similar item in accordance with specified requirements; (b) review of the suppliers current quality records supported by documented qualitative and quantitative information which can be objectively evaluated; and/or (c) the suppliers technical and quality CAPs ability determined by a source evaluation of their facilities, personnel interviews, and the content and implementation of their quality program. Suppliers of safety-related items and services for nuclear power plants not subject to NRC regulations are evaluated and qualified in accordance with the requirements of the governing regulatory agency or customer contract.

Contrary to the above, as of January 30, 2015, WEC failed to verify that their suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conform to the procurement documents. Specific examples include:

1. WEC failed to perform an adequate evaluation of L&S Machine Company LLC (L&S) to verify L&Ss qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as welding, nondestructive examination (NDE), and heat treatment and plating, which was required for the procurement of reactor fuel assembly top and bottom nozzles, top nozzle spring clamps and spiders. The Supplier Audit Evaluation Summary (SAES) completed by WEC for L&S indicated that L&S was qualified to perform machining services. Purchase orders issued to L&S from WEC required L&S to perform dedication, welding, NDE, heat treatment and plating which is outside of the approved scope of work identified in the SAES. This discrepancy in qualification resulted in products manufactured by L&S being in an indeterminate status relative to quality standards.

2. WEC failed to perform an adequate evaluation of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC), prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order (PO) 4500429292. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order. As a result, products shipped from PMC are considered to be in an indeterminate status relative to quality standards.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

Please provide a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001 with a copy to the Chief, Mechanical Vendor Inspection Branch, Division of Construction, Inspection and Operational Programs, Office of New Reactors, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Nonconformance.

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Westinghouse Electric Company Inspection Report No. 99900404/2015-202 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted an announced, reactive inspection at Westinghouse Electric Company (WEC), in Cranberry, Township, PA, from January 26-30, 2015. The purpose of the inspection was to review the implementation of the WEC Quality Assurance (QA) program pursuant to Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, and 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance.

This technically focused inspection specifically evaluated WECs implementation of quality activities associated with oversight of suppliers; and resolution of significant technical issues such as the containment condensate return and management of hydrogen inside containment during accident conditions.

The following regulations serve as the bases for the NRC inspection:

• Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50

• 10 CFR Part 21 During conduct of this reactive inspection, the NRC inspection team implemented inspection procedure (IP) 43003, Reactive Inspections of Nuclear Vendors, supplemented by IP 36100, Inspection of 10 CFR Part 21 and Programs for Reporting Defects and Noncompliance, and IP 43004, Inspection of Commercial-Grade Dedication Programs.

The NRCs last two vendor inspections at WEC in Cranberry Township, PA included inspection of safety related code and software (NRC Inspection Report No. 99900404/2013-202 dated June 6, 2013), and also inspection of design changes and root cause analyses (NRC Inspection Report No. 99900404/2013-201 dated March 27, 2013).

The NRC inspection team determined that, in general, WEC implemented the QA program providing oversight of safety related activities during the resolution of technical issues such as the AP1000 issue of managing hydrogen in containment. The NRC inspection team identified examples of WECs inadequate implementation of the QA program in several areas. These examples indicate that WEC 1) did not provide adequate oversight of suppliers and properly maintain the qualified supplier list, 2) and did not take timely and effective corrective actions for significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the containment condensate return issue, issues associated with the implementation of procurement program requirements, conducting effective audits, and the failure of management to reinforce established standards for supplier audits which was previously identified in January 2013 and has not been resolved.

The results of the inspection are summarized below:

Organization The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01 in association with WECs failure to ensure that an appropriate QA program was established and effectively executed; and verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting safety-related functions were correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

Corrective Action The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 in association with WECs failure to take appropriate measures to ensure that, for significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition was determined and the appropriate corrective actions were taken. Specifically, WEC failed to promptly correct the significant condition adverse to quality identified in Corrective Action, Prevention, and Learning System (CAPAL) Issue ID 100000472, which identified recurrent issues with Purchase Orders (POs) issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions. WEC also failed to take adequate corrective action for the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPs Issue Report 12-045-C037, which identified as the root cause that management failed to reinforce the established standards for performing supplier audits.

Internal Audits The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of the internal audit program. WEC self-identified problems with performance of audits but did not consider the problems to be significant conditions adverse to quality. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for the CAPALs that documented issues with implementation of the internal audit program. The corrective actions for these CAPALs were still in progress and therefore were not evaluated for effectiveness by the NRC inspection team. The NRC inspection team identified the issues associated with the internal audit program as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, which was issued for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant conditions adverse to quality.

Oversight of Suppliers The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03 for WECs failure to verify that their suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. Specifically, WEC failed to: (1) evaluate L&S Machine Companys, LLC (L&Ss) qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as nondestructive examination (NDE), welding, heat treatment and plating services, which were required for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, and (2) provide objective evidence that an adequate evaluation of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC) was performed prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to reevaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in a qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order.

Design Control Potential Hydrogen Generation and Management During Beyond Design Basis Accidents The NRC inspection team reviewed the WEC methodology and analysis for implementing combustible gas control for the AP1000 design, including requests for pending design changes, for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 Combustible gas control for nuclear power reactors (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed and personnel interviewed, the NRC inspection team determined that WEC is meeting the regulatory requirements of Criterion III, Design Control, for combustible gas control for the AP1000. No findings of significance were identified.

Containment Condensate Return The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 for WECs failure to take prompt and effective corrective actions associated with an incorrect design assumption for the containment condensate return which is necessary to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. The issue was not entered into the corrective action process in a timely manner, was not treated as a significant condition adverse to quality, and the extent-of-condition review was inadequate.

REPORT DETAILS

1. 10 CFR Part 21 Program

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed the policies and implementing procedures that govern WECs implementation of 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance program. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of WECs 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations from the last two years to verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of Failure to Comply or Existence of a Defect and its Evaluation. Additionally, the team reviewed a sample of Purchase Orders (POs) issued by WEC for the purchase of safety related materials, services and equipment to verify compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.31, Procurement Documents. The inspectors also reviewed WECs procedures that govern corrective action and nonconforming conditions to verify adequate implementation of the regulatory requirements to identify and correct conditions adverse to quality.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified.

c. Conclusions Based on the review of WECs 10 CFR Part 21 program, implementing procedures, and a sample of 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations, the NRC inspection team determined that WECs process met regulatory requirements. No findings of significance were identified.

2. Design Control

a. Inspection Scope Potential Hydrogen Generation and Management during Beyond Design Basis Accidents The NRC inspection team reviewed design basis documents associated with the potential generation and management of hydrogen during a beyond design basis event (hereafter called combustible gas control) for the AP1000 design, to verify that the design, including requests for pending design changes, is consistent with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50.44 Combustible Gas Control for Nuclear Power Reactors, Section (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the re-analysis for combustible gas control for the AP1000, focusing on the In-containment Refueling Water Storage Tank (IRWST), and the Core Makeup Tank (CMT) compartments. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of associated WEC calculations, to ensure that they met the requirements of Criterion III, Design Control of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of design documents, including requests for pending design changes, for the AP1000 Containment Hydrogen Control System (VLS), IRWST, and the CMT compartments, to ensure that the VLS system would meet the Design Control Document (DCD) requirements. The NRC inspection team observed a demonstration of a WEC 3-D electronic model, focusing on the containment, the IRWST, and the CMT compartments. The NRC inspection team also reviewed a sample of corrective action documents associated with combustible gas control and the VLS to ensure that the regulatory requirements were met.

The NRC inspection team interviewed WEC employees to assess their understanding of the requirements for combustible gas control, and how the AP1000 design meets these requirements. The interviews included technical experts, and the questions focused on how the analysis was implemented by the design.

Containment Condensate Return The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of the design and corrective action documents related to the containment condensate return portion of the passive residual heat removal heat exchanger (PRHR-HX) which removes heat from the reactor during an event and transfers the heat to the IRWST. A significant technical and licensing issue was the resolution of an inadequate design input for containment condensate return. During licensing review activities in the United Kingdom in 2010, WEC received a Technical Question requesting a basis for the 90 percent condensate return rate used to support the Emergency Core Cooling System (ECCS) performance analysis. WEC formed a test team in spring 2011 to develop a basis for the previously unsubstantiated input assumption. Initial test results quickly indicated that the 90 percent return rate was inaccurate. Subsequent tests with various test conditions were completed by Summer 2012.

The attachments to the inspection report lists the individuals interviewed and documents reviewed.

b. Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified regarding potential hydrogen generation and management during beyond design basis accidents.

WEC initiated testing and various hardware modifications to increase the amount of condensate return flow. The initial return flow of 90 percent was not conservative and resulted in degraded performance of the PRHR-HX. The hardware modifications included: adding dams to the top of the polar crane girder, adding dams to control the flow of condensate on an equipment hatch near the gutters, plugging holes that could provide a loss path for the condensate, adding flow diverters, adding splash guards, modifying the gutter for optimum performance, and placing restrictions to new attachments on the containment wall.

The NRC inspection team reviewed various corrective action documents on the condensate return issue dating back to 2012. Additionally, the NRC inspection team interviewed WEC personnel who identified the problem and were involved in developing corrective actions. A Part 21 evaluation was also performed which concluded that a substantial safety hazard did not exist because there was no total loss of the safety function. The NRC inspection team determined this Part 21 evaluation to be adequate.

The first corrective action item for this issue was CAPS Issue Report #12-191-M015, dated July 9, 2012, approximately one year after WEC determined that the 90 percent rate was not supported by test results. The suggested priority was Medium which was then confirmed by the WEC Issue Review Board. As a Medium level issue, an Apparent Cause Analysis (ACA) and Extent of Condition (EOC) were required per the WEC corrective action program, WEC 16.2, Westinghouse Corrective Action Program, Revision 7 dated March 31, 2014. The ACA identified four apparent causes including:

1. input design calculation was missing, causing invalid and insufficient inputs;

2. systems group made an assumption based on verbal conversation;

3. functional requirement was not properly captured and not communicated to the containment vessel group; and

4. containment vessel group did not question what specific requirements needed to be met.

The NRC inspection team determined that the apparent cause review and findings were adequate. However, the NRC inspection team identified three concerns related to the lack of prompt identification, evaluation, and implementation of corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

The NRC inspection team determined that the EOC was not adequate because it only referred to an ongoing commitment related to a different CAPAL item covering design interface communication deficiencies. This design interface communication improvement effort did not search for similar design inputs as the condensate return issue that involved the lack of a formal basis such as calculations and test results. The EOC performed only investigated the process related issues, which did not address all four of the identified apparent causes. Specifically, AC-1, Input to design calculation is missing, causing invalid and insufficient inputs was not adequately addressed by the stated EOC analysis. Additionally, prior to this inspection, the NRC staff identified this concern regarding the potential for additional unsupported input assumptions during a phone call in early December 2014. WEC opened a new CAPAL (#100068146) regarding the NRC staff concerns about the EOC evaluation.

The NRC inspection team also identified that CAPs Issue Report No. 12-191-M0-15 was not initiated until approximately two years after it was discovered that there was no technical basis for the 90 percent return rate assumption. This was several months after WEC testing proved that the 90 percent return rate assumption was incorrect. Lastly, the NRC inspection team identified that CAPs Issue Report # 2-191-M0-15 should have been opened as a high level priority 1 or 2, to ensure that the issue was treated as a significant condition adverse to quality (SCAQ). Appendix A, Additional Guidance for Conditions Adverse to Quality, of WEC 16.2, Revision 7, provides guidance on how to determine the significance for an identified condition adverse to quality. The NRC inspection team determined that the reduced condensate return rate for the Safe Shutdown Calculations should be considered a SCAQ since it potentially could affect the ECCS ability to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. Appendix A gives examples of SCAQs including Deviations from performance specifications that require major evaluations, redesign, or repair to establish the adequacy of the structure, system, or component to perform its intended function.

Collectively, these concerns identified by the NRC inspection team represent an example of WECs failure to implement Criterion XVI, Corrective Actions, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Specifically, for the inadequate design assumption of the containment condensate return issue, WEC failed to promptly initiate a corrective action document, the corrective action document was assigned the wrong significance level, and the extent of condition review was determined to be inadequate. The NRC inspection team was concerned that a proper extent of condition review had not been performed. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team reviewed the WEC methodology and analysis for implementing combustible gas control for the AP1000 design, including requests for pending design changes, for consistency with the requirements of 10 CFR 50.44 Combustible gas control for nuclear power reactors (c), Requirements for future water cooled applicants and licensees. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed and personnel interviewed the NRC inspection team also determined that WEC is meeting the regulatory requirements of Criterion III, Design Control and Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, for combustible gas control for the AP1000. No findings of significance were identified.

The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 for WECs failure to take prompt and effective corrective actions associated with an incorrect design assumption for the containment condensate return which is necessary to maintain the reactor in a safe shutdown condition. The issue was not entered into the corrective action process in a timely manner, was not treated as a significant condition adverse to quality, and the extent-of-condition review was inadequate.

3. Oversight of Suppliers

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WECs policies and implementing procedures that govern its oversight of contracted activities, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of supplier (external) audits, surveillances, and assessments, to determine the adequacy of WECs performance of supplier oversight activities. The NRC inspection team also reviewed the disposition of audit and surveillance findings for adequacy.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of procurement documents issued by WEC for the purchase of safety-related and augmented quality items and services, to verify that the qualifications and restrictions identified on the WEC QSL were imposed in the applicable procurement documents. Also, the NRC inspection team verified that the implementation of WECs Supplier Audit/Evaluation Summary (SAES), which was required to be updated with supplier qualification data per the results of each audit or assessment, was completed in accordance with WEC 7.1, Supplier QA Program Qualification and Assessment. The SAES reflects the current qualifications and restrictions imposed on the supplier by the QSL. The NRC inspection team verified that the qualifications and restrictions identified in the SAES match the restrictions that WEC imposed in the applicable procurement documents.

The NRC inspection team discussed the control of purchased material, equipment, and services with WECs management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team reviewed the audits of L&S Machine Company conducted by WEC over the last four years.

During the review of WEC audit WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that Section 10 of the audit checklist pertaining to dedication and unqualified source material had not been evaluated by the auditor. The auditor, under the note comment section, included a statement that there had not been any evidence that L&S performed commercial grade dedication. Section 8 of the audit checklist contradicts the note comment from Section 10 stating that L&S performed commercial grade dedication for calibration services. Further, the NRC inspection team noted that the scope of the audit did not evaluate L&Ss engineering capabilities to perform commercial grade dedication.

During the review of a supplemental audit to WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that WEC issued Supplier Corrective Action Request (SCAR) 12-130-M042 for L&Ss lack of any reference to a commercial-grade dedication process in their Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) and lack of details pursuant to the technical evaluation required by engineering for identification of critical characteristics and acceptance methods in their procedure for commercial dedication of materials or services. This SCAR led to WEC adding a restriction to the L&S SAES, on May 17, 2012, to prohibit L&S from performing commercial grade dedication until the SCAR was evaluated and closed. WEC continued to issue POs that required L&S to perform commercial grade dedication services. On September 13, 2012, WEC determined that L&Ss response to SCAR 12-130-M042 was adequate and closed the SCAR. The restriction on commercial grade dedication was removed from the L&S SAES. The NRC inspection team reviewed the L&S QAM, and noted that at the time of the inspection, L&S did not have an engineering function to perform commercial grade dedication. The NRC inspection team also reviewed L&Ss response to SCAR 12-130-M042 and determined that the response was inadequate. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S to verify they had the capabilities to perform commercial grade dedication under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that required L&S to perform commercial grade dedication which was an activity outside of the approved scope of work for L&S. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

Additionally, during the review of audit WES-2011-186, the NRC inspection team noted that L&S was performing special processes such as welding, non-destructive examination (NDE), heat treatment, and plating. The NRC inspection team reviewed the audit checklist and SAES corresponding to audit WES-2011-186 and noted that neither document provided objective evidence to demonstrate that the WEC audit team evaluated if L&S program had the necessary measures in place that qualified them to perform NDE qualifications, NDE tests, weld qualifications, or any of the special processes included in the procurement documents from WEC to L&S. Also, the NRC inspection team reviewed audits WES-2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R, to determine if WEC had evaluated L&Ss welding procedures and qualifications. Audits WES-2012-105 and WES-2012-106 did not evaluate the performance of welding activities at L&S. Audit WES-2013-065-R stated that qualification of welders was performed in accordance with Section IX, Welding and Brazing Qualifications, of the Association of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Code. The NRC inspection team noted that the checklist from audits WES 2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R did not provide objective evidence that L&S had the necessary engineering function in place to have a welding program. Also, the L&S QAM did not include engineering roles and responsibilities to implement a welding program in accordance with ASME code. During the review of the QAM and audit reports, the NRC inspection team was unable to confirm how the L&S welders were qualified and how these qualifications were maintained. The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team to discuss WECs evaluation of L&Ss welding capabilities. The WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team was unable to provide objective evidence that demonstrated that WEC approved L&S to perform welding activities. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S to verify they had the capabilities to perform welding activities under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that required L&S to perform welding activities, which were outside of the approved scope of work of L&S. This issue has been identified as example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed three of the most recent POs issued by WEC to L&S, to ensure that material, equipment and services being purchased conformed to the procurement documents. POs 4500449276, 4500402277, and 4500601734 were issued for the procurement of top and bottom nozzle piece parts. During the review of the POs, the NRC inspection team found that additional restrictions and technical requirements were being imposed in the PO beyond what was imposed per the SAES. For example, PO 4500449276 included a statement prohibiting L&S from performing welding. Also, PO 4500601734 included non-destructive test results as a requirement for the QA hardware data package. In addition, PO 4500402277 invoked the requirements stated in Supplier Quality Assurance Requirements SQAR_1030 Revision 250. SQAR_1030 was issued for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, top nozzle spring clamps, and spiders. SQAR_1030 states: Any special process by the supplier or their sub-supplier, the results of which are highly dependent on the control of the process or the skill of the operator or both, and in which the specified quality cannot be readily determined by inspection or test of the product shall be controlled by written procedures that have been approved by WEC. Special processes include, but are not limited to:

welding, brazing, annealing, age hardening and nondestructive test method (radiography, ultrasonic, eddy current, etc.).

The NRC inspection team noted that SQAR_1030 included the following submittals as the minimum requirements for top and bottom nozzles: (1) Heat treatment, weld procedure(s) and welder qualifications; (2) Chrome plating or other surfaces treatment procedures; and (3) Non-destructive testing procedures used in lieu of WEC procedures required in a specification or on a drawing. The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team to discuss the flow of requirements from the SAES to the POs and those additional requirements listed in SQAR_1030. The WEC Supplier Quality Oversight team was unable to provide the origin or justification for the additional requirements included in the POs that were not identified in the SAES.

The NRC inspection team reviewed audits WES-2012-105, WES-2012-106, and WES-2013-065-R and their respective checklists and concluded that there was no objective evidence in those reports that qualified L&S to perform NDE and special process activities. The NRC inspection team concluded that WEC failed to adequately evaluate L&S, to verify if they had the capabilities to perform NDE and special processes under their current QAM. Also, WEC issued POs that referenced SQAR_1030 which required L&S to perform NDE and special processes which were activities outside of the approved scope of work of L&S. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the audits and assessments of Peerless Manufacturing Company (PMC) that were conducted by WEC in the last four years.

The NRC inspection team reviewed Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 of PMC conducted in January of 2011. The Assessment Report stated that WEC-2011-012 was planned by WEC to be conducted as an audit, to verify compliance of PMCs QA program and its implementation in accordance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21. Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 further stated that, It was determined that the quality program did not meet the full requirements of a Safety-Related quality program. As a result, the audit was terminated and an assessment was performed to document the controls that were in place at PMC.

The NRC inspection team observed that Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 determined that PMCs Audit, Training/Certification, and Records programs were unsatisfactory. In addition, the QA program element for Design was found to be unsatisfactory, although the implementation was determined by WEC to be satisfactory. The Assessment Report did not document any SCARs that were issued to PMC for those areas that were found to be unsatisfactory. The NRC inspection team also observed that Assessment Report WEC-2011-012 stated the following procurement restriction: Westinghouse shall not issue any safety-related purchase orders to Peerless Manufacturing Company; however, there were no other restrictions identified based on WECs determination that several areas were found to be unsatisfactory.

The NRC inspection team reviewed SAES ID 16782 dated September 9, 2011, for PMC.

The SAES indicated that based on Assessment WES-2011-012, PMC was in the qualified status on the QSL, with QA program requirements meeting Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and the following QA program elements marked as Acceptable:

Organization; QA Program; Design Control; Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings; Document Control; and Quality Assurance Records. All other QA program elements were marked as Not Applicable. SAES 16782 also included a restriction stating: The responsibility for 10 CFR Part 21 shall be retained by Westinghouse. SAES 16782 did not include the procurement restriction identified in Assessment Report WES-2011-012.

The NRC inspection team further reviewed SAES ID 15693 dated March 8, 2012 for PMC. The NRC inspection team observed that SAES ID 15683 changed the QSL supplier status for PMC by deleting references to Appendix B from the QA Program Requirements field. However, the SAES further stated, The suppliers QA program is required to meet the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B as specified by the WEC purchase order. The supplier will be maintained on the Westinghouse QSL as a non-safety-related supplier.

The NRC inspection team also reviewed SAES ID 17296 dated March 12, 2012, and SAES ID 17301 dated March 13, 2012. The changes documented in SAES IDs 17296 and 17301 were mostly administrative. SAES ID 17301 was issued to document the results of the Annual Evaluation that was performed to assess the continued capability of PMC to supply acceptable items and services. SAES ID 17301 noted a change in the PMC QA Manual revision, and all status indications for PMC as a WEC qualified supplier remained the same.

The NRC inspection team met with the WEC Supplier Quality Oversight personnel to discuss the changes made to the QSL supplier status for PMC and the bases for those changes, as documented in audits and assessments of PMC. They were unable to provide the origin or justification for the changes made to the QSL supplier status for PMC documented in the SAES.

The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC PO 4500429292 issued to PMC for design and analysis work of the secondary separator panels (steam dryer vane panels).

Section 11, References, of the PO stated, in part, This item/service is nuclear safety-related; 10 CFR Part 21 applies and Section 7, Quality Assurance, of the PO stated, in part, The Supplier is responsible for maintaining a Quality Assurance Program in compliance with 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B requirements for the scope of work in this purchase order. Based on the review of Assessment WES- 2011-012 and SAES IDs 16782, 15683, 17296, and 17301, the NRC inspection team determined that as of March 16, 2012, PMC was not approved as a supplier of safety-related items and services to WEC, in accordance with the requirements of WEC 7.1. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team further determined that the QA requirements remained unchanged in PO 4500429292 Change Notice (CN) 1 and CN 2 issued to PMC on October 22, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 3 issued on December 13, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 4 issued on December 20, 2012; PO 4500429292 CN 5 issued on January 23, 2013; and PO 4500429292 CN 6 issued on February 8, 2013.

On October 30, 2012, after WEC issued PO 4500429292 CN 2 and prior to the issuance of PO 4500429292 CN 3 to PMC, WEC issued SAES ID 18340 which removed any references to Appendix B QA program requirements and stated that, WEC Engineering will define, through WEC Purchase Order, the quality requirements to PMC. It further stated: For WEC Annual Evaluations, the supplier QA program shall be evaluated to ensure that it complies with the applicable quality requirements invoked in the PO.

However, WEC did not issue a CN to PO 4500429292, to revise the quality assurance requirements, immediately following the change in the QSL status for PMC. Further, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

The NRC inspection team reviewed SAES ID 19158 for PMC, issued on June 13, 2013.

SAES ID 19158 stated, This Suppliers Quality program status is currently suspended and requires further evaluation. This supplier may not provide products or services to Westinghouse on the basis of its implemented quality program, and no product or items may be released or shipped from this supplier. The NRC inspection team determined that PMC remained in suspended status until July 30, 2014, when SAES ID 20579 documented placing PMC on the QSL in a qualified supplier status, based on the results of Commercial Grade Survey WES-2014-117. However, WEC continued to issue CNs to PO 4500429292, releasing manufacturing and allowing work to continue. This issue has been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC is not effectively implementing its oversight of contracted activities in accordance with Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-03 for WECs failure to:

(1) evaluate L&Ss qualifications to perform dedication and special processes such as NDE, welding, heat treatment, and plating required for the procurement of top and bottom nozzles, and (2) failure to provide objective evidence that an adequate evaluation of PMC was performed prior to issuing a safety-related purchase order. Also, after changing PMCs supplier status on the QSL to indicate that PMC was a supplier of non-safety related items and services, WEC failed to re-evaluate PMCs QA program, to verify that it was adequate for the existing procurement under PO 4500429292. Further, WEC failed to maintain the supplier in qualified status throughout the duration of the purchase order.

4. Internal Audits

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WECs policies and implementing procedures that govern the internal audit program, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XVIII, Audits, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of internal audit reports, to verify implementation of the internal audit program. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of audit training and qualification records, to verify that audits were performed by appropriately trained personnel not having direct responsibilities in the areas being audited.

The NRC inspection team verified that WEC had a program and procedures in place for conducting scheduled internal audits, and that the program and procedures were consistent with regulatory requirements. The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC 18.1, Internal Audits. The NRC inspection team reviewed the internal audit schedules and verified that internal audits were scheduled and performed at the minimum frequency specified in WEC 18.1.

The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of internal audit reports of various Westinghouse facilities by WEC Global Quality, to confirm that internal audits were performed using checklists and/or procedures and in accordance with WECs procedures. The NRC inspection team verified that these internal audit reports included audit plans, documented objective evidence, audit results, and documented evidence of review by responsible management, and that follow-up action was taken where indicated.

The NRC inspection team reviewed the training and qualification records of a sample of WEC auditors responsible for conducting internal audits at WEC, to confirm that all required training had been completed and maintained, and that qualifications and certifications were in accordance with WECs procedures. The NRC inspection team also reviewed WEC 2.8, Qualification of Audit Personnel.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of five internal audit reports of various Westinghouse facilities. The NRC inspection team observed multiple examples of internal audit report checklists not including adequate, sufficient, and/or clear objective evidence to support audit conclusions, and examples where checklist sections were not completed and areas of implementation not fully evaluated within defined scope.

Examples include:

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of measures taken to control software quality (internal audit of Westinghouse in Cranberry Township, PA, report number WEC-12-19);

• Failure to document adequate objective evidence of implementation of procurement document control, sampling used during tests and inspections, control of measuring and test equipment, and control of documents (internal audit of Supplier Quality Engineering and Supplier Quality Oversight at Westinghouse in Cranberry Township, PA, report number WEC-12-50);

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of measures taken to control software quality and special processes and failure to document adequate objective evidence of implementation in the areas of inspection and test control, control of nonconforming items, and 10 CFR Part 21 (internal audit of WesDyne in Madison, PA and Windsor, CT, report number WEC-13-28);

• Failure to examine and evaluate objective evidence of implementation of the commercial grade dedication process (internal audit of Westinghouse Newington, report number WEC-13-35). Section 3 of the report stated that audit personnel havent examined any dedication files due to time limitations. No supplemental audits were conducted.

• Failure to examine and/or adequately document objective evidence of implementation of areas of procurement document control (internal audit of Global Supply Chain Management at Westinghouse in Cranberry, Township PA, report number WEC-13-48).

One of the internal audit reports that the NRC inspection team requested to review had not yet been issued and, as of January 30, 2015, was overdue. Section 8.18 of WEC 18.1, Revision 3.0 requires that internal audit reports be issued to the responsible management of the audited organization within 30 days of the post-audit conference.

The NRC inspection team review of recent audits identified that there were six internal audit reports that had not yet been issued as of January 30, 2015, and were overdue.

Examples of overdue internal audit reports overdue include:

• Internal audit report WEC-14-08 of Western Zirconium #2 - 55 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-11 of Westinghouse Springfields Fuels (SPR14/088)

- 26 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-16, ASME Internal Audit - 28 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-35 of Westinghouse Newington - 54 days late;

• Internal audit report WEC-14-46 of Westinghouse Waltz Mill - Rotating Equipment

- 26 days late; and

• Internal audit report WEC-14-58 of Westinghouse Vogtle - Site Engineering

- 19 days late.

The NRC inspection team discussed these issues with responsible WEC personnel and understood that similar issues with the implementation of the internal audit program have been previously identified by WEC and documented in a CAPAL. CAPAL 100016265, Improvements to Internal Audit Program (WEC 18.1), which was opened on March 19, 2014, and closed on August 26, 2014, identified issues with internal audit performance including issues similar to those observed by the NRC inspection team and discussed above. CAPAL 100052988, #3 Internal Audit findings by NTD (WEC-14-123)

(Internal Audits/Assessments), which was opened on October 17, 2014, and as of January 30, 2015, remained open, described issues similar to those documented in CAPAL 100016265 and included issues similar to those identified by the NRC inspection team. CAPAL 100052325, Trend Issue to Track/Determine Cause for Late Internal Audit Reports, which was opened on October 13, 2014, and as of January 30, 2015, remained open, identified the recurring problem with not issuing internal audit reports in accordance with timeliness requirements, over the last three years.

The NRC inspection team determined that none of the CAPALs were classified as a SCAQ. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for these CAPALs, to identify causes and develop corrective action plans that were commensurate with the consequences, complexity, and significance level of the identified issues, to ensure that all conditions adverse to quality were effectively addressed. The NRC inspection teams review of Appendix A, Guidance for Classifying Conditions Adverse to Quality, of procedure WEC 16.11, Issue Review Committee, determined that, because these issues were indicative of a programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program, they should have been classified as significant conditions adverse to quality.

In addition, the programmatic failure in the WEC internal audit program resulted in a missed opportunity to identify and correct issues, with the consequence of WEC being in non-compliance with regulatory requirements. The 2013 internal audit of Newington identified a procedural issue with commercial grade dedication, but did not identify any issues with implementation of commercial grade dedication at Newington. The 2013 internal audit of NuCrane Manufacturing did not identify any issues related to measuring and test equipment (M&TE) at NuCrane. However, the NRC inspections of Newington in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901392/2014-201, and Westinghouse Fuel Handling Equipment and Crane Manufacturing (NuCrane Manufacturing) in October 2014, documented in Inspection Report No. 99901452/2014-201, resulted in the issuance of notices of nonconformance related to programmatic issues with inadequate commercial grade dedication and not implementing a portion of the M&TE program, respectively.

The NRC inspection team identified these issues as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant condition adverse to quality associated with the internal audit program.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC is not effectively implementing its corrective action process with regard to implementation of the internal audit program.

The NRC inspection team determined that programmatic failures in the WEC internal audit program had been previously identified by WEC. However, WEC did not consider them to be significant conditions adverse to quality. Subsequently, there were no apparent cause analyses or root cause analyses conducted for the CAPALs that documented issues with implementation of the internal audit program. The corrective actions for these CAPALs were still in progress and therefore were not evaluated for effectiveness by the NRC inspection team. The NRC inspection team identified the issues associated with the internal audit program as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02, for WECs failure to promptly correct or prevent recurrence of significant conditions adverse to quality.

5. Corrective Action

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed WEC policies and implementing procedures that govern the corrective action program, to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. WECs corrective action system changed from Corrective Action Process (CAPS) to CAPAL on April 1, 2014. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of CAPs/CAPALs (hereinafter collectively referred to as CAPALs) related to the technical areas of the inspection, including control of combustible gas, condensate return, supplier oversight, procurement, and internal audits, to verify that: (1) conditions adverse to quality were promptly identified and corrected, and (2) for significant conditions adverse to quality, the CAPALs specified the cause of these conditions and corrective actions to prevent recurrence.

The NRC inspection team evaluated the adequacy of the corrective actions taken for control of combustible gas and condensate return, to ensure that the corrective action maintained the affected systems in accordance with the design basis. The NRC inspection team reviewed the documents to verify that findings from supplier and internal audits were properly entered into CAPALs. The NRC inspection team verified that when WEC identified a significant programmatic issue, corrective actions were developed and implemented. The NRC inspection team also verified that the CAPALs were screened for applicability of 10 CFR Part 21 and that a Part 21 evaluation was initiated when appropriate.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the individuals interviewed and documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team found that CAPALs documenting significant conditions adverse to quality related to the technical areas of the inspection for condensate return (discussed in Section 2, Containment Condensate Return subsection of this report),

supplier oversight, and internal audits (discussed in Section 4 of this report) had examples where the identification of the significant condition adverse to quality was not prompt, and/or the corrective action was not timely, and/or was not effective.

The NRC inspection team reviewed CAPAL Issue ID 100000472, Purchase Requisition/Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, Reference IR 10-014-W012, (formerly CAPSs Issue Report (IR) Number 13-151-M013),

which was classified as a Level 1, Significant Condition Adverse to Quality CAPAL that has been open since May 22, 2013, and was still open, as of January 30, 2015. CAPAL Issue ID 100000472 documented recurrent issues with Purchase Orders issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions.

This CAPAL was issued after High Significant CAPs IR 10-014-W012, Purchase Requisition / Purchase Order Processing Violates Numerous WEC-7.5 Requirements, which was initiated on January 14, 2010, remained open for approximately four years and eight months and had been ineffective in resolving the significant condition adverse to quality. There was no corrective action to address why CAPs IR10-014-W012 had been ineffective, and the implementation of the corrective action has not been timely from the time the issue was first identified.

CAPs IR 12-045-C037, Root Cause Analysis for Nonconforming Fuel Assembly Shipped to Indian Point 2, Revision 1, dated January 31, 2013, identified that the root cause was management failing to reinforce established standards. There were no corrective actions that specifically addressed this root cause, and the last corrective action was completed June 12, 2013. The corrective action for the root cause was ineffective and similar problems continue to occur. WEC identified in their final effectiveness review for the root cause that the corrective action was ineffective. WEC is crediting an ongoing Strategic Quality Plan to resolve the issues with supplier oversight, but there is no action to address why CAPs 12-045-C037 had been ineffective, and the implementation of the corrective action has not been timely.

These issues have been identified as an example of Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.

The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-02 in association with WECs failure to take appropriate measures to ensure that for significant conditions adverse to quality, the cause of the condition was determined and the appropriate corrective actions were taken. Specifically, WEC failed to promptly correct the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPAL Issue ID 100000472, which identified recurrent issues with Purchase Orders issued to suppliers not on the QSL or for orders placed incorrectly to suppliers with restrictions. WEC also failed to take adequate corrective action for the significant condition adverse to quality identified in CAPs IR12-045-C037, which identified the root cause to be the management failure to reinforce established standards for performing internal audits.

6. Organization

a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team evaluated implementation of WECs Corrective Action program and verified the ability to address significant conditions adverse to quality.

Additionally, the NRC inspection team evaluated WECs use of their qualified supplier list and their oversight of suppliers.

The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed by the NRC inspection team.

b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team evaluated the overall effect of uncorrected significant conditions adverse to quality in the supplier oversight and internal audit programs, and the ineffective use of the corrective action organization, program to resolve these issues.

Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B, to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part that [t]he QA functions are those of (1) assuring that an appropriate QA program is established and effectively executed; and (2) verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed.

Section 2.3.1 of the WEC QMS states, Senior management establishes overall expectations for effective implementation of the QA program and is responsible for obtaining the desired end result. It further states, The Senior Vice Presidents have overall responsibility and are accountable for the effective implementation of the QMS for applicable activities.

The NRC inspection team determined that WEC failed to effectively execute and verify by auditing that activities affecting safety-related functions had been correctly performed.

Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conformed to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

These issues have been identified as Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01.

c. Conclusions The NRC inspection team determined that WEC did not adequately implement the requirements of Criterion I, Organization, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900404/2015-202-01 in association with WECs failure to ensure that the QA functions of assuring that an appropriate QA program is established and effectively executed; and verifying, such as by checking, auditing, and inspecting, that activities affecting the safety-related functions have been correctly performed. Specifically, WEC failed to take timely and effective corrective actions to address significant conditions adverse to quality. This includes the oversight of suppliers and the proper use of the qualified supplier list. Additionally, WEC failed to verify that its suppliers had measures in place to assure that purchased material, equipment, and services conform to the procurement documents. These examples occurred dating back to January, 2010, which indicated WEC did not effectively implement portions of their NRC-approved QA program.

7. Entrance and Exit Meeting On January 26, 2015, the NRC inspection team presented the inspection scope during an entrance meeting with Mr. Steve Hamilton, Senior Vice President and WEC staff. On January 30, 2015, the NRC inspection team presented the inspection findings during an exit meeting with Mr. Steve Hamilton and staff. On March 13, 2015, a re-exit meeting was conducted via telephone conference with Mr. Steve Hamilton and WEC staff to present the final results of this inspection. At the re-exit meeting, Mr. Edward Roach, Branch Chief of Mechanical Vendor Inspection Branch, led the final exit meeting discussions. The attachment to this report lists the participants of the entrance, exit, and re-exit meeting attendees, and those personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
