Meet the senior management of the Power Systems Management Business Department (PSMBD).
b.
Acquaint them with the NRC Vendor Inspection Program (VIP).
c.
Infcrm them of their responsibilities under Section 206 of Public Law 93-438.
d.
Obtain information concerning the establishment of PSMBD as a separate cost center at the Philadelphia site.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
a.
Meeting with the general manager and discussing details of the:
(1) NRC organizational structure (2)
Inspecticn activities of the VIP
. (3) Documentation requirements of the VIP including (a) How results of inspections are documented, distributed and filed in the Public Document Room.
(b) Explanation of " deviations" and " unresolved items."
(c) Explanation of the publication of the " White Book."
b.
Discussion of the separation of the Philadelphia facility into two (2) separate cost centers, namely, PSMBD and the Switchgear Business Department (SBD) for which Inspection Report 99900219/78-02 has been filed.
c.
Discussing the functional interface area between PSMBD and SBD such as auditing, receiving inspection, storage, and shipping.
d.
Discussing the PSMBD organizational structure which includes the Puerto Rico Operations where the largest volume of the Clast, IE relays are manufactured.
e.
Discussions wi n the Puerto Rico Operations QA Manager concerning the quality awarancc pqram operations and practices of the three (3) plants and receiving area at those locations.
3.
Comments Management acknowledged the inspector's statements and recogni-a.
tion of the 'SMBD commitments and responsibilities in the supply of safety-related products to the nuclear industry.
b.
Management explained the Puerto Rico Operations has an estab-lished qual 4 ty assurance program operating under the policy of the Qualtty Assurance Manual, Protective Relays and Components, Power Systems Management Business Department, dated Octob!r 20, 1978.
The Puerto Rico Operations has also implemented a separate QA Manual, with supplemental procedures, based on th3 criteria of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
C.
Desian Tests 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to:
a.
Determine the status of the design and qualification test programs to quality relay products to applicable IEEE standards.
d
. b.
Verify that PSMBD has established a projected schedule of the qualification test programs, c.
Review documentation applicable to the design qualification test programs.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objective was accomplished by:
a.
Discussions with engineering design and management personnel concerning the; (1) Status of plans and schedules for full qualitication of relay products to Class IE applications.
(2)
Identity of models selected for qualification.
(3) Status of qualification tests conducted.
(4) Status of qualification test plans.
b.
Review of the document, 'GE. Test Summary, IEEE-323 Nuclear Qualification No. 60001, dated October 11, 1978," which describes the test technical spectrum to which the relay model will be qualification tested.
c.
Review of a list of the proposed relay models that will be subjected to the qualification tests.
d.
Review of the " Test Report No. F-C4851, Test of Gamma Radiation Endurance of Relays, January 1978, for GE SBD, PSM Department, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania", which summaries the results and data of the tests conducted.
e.
Review of the " Test Report No. 12485-26, October 6, 1976, Seismic Vibration Testing of Three (3) Relays for GE., P.O. No.
531-W-464830", which describes the seismic environment in which the relays were tested and summaries the resultant data.
f.
Review of the following GE documents:
(1) GEZ-6675 Relays and Accessories, Seismic Capabilties.
(2) GEZ-6678 Electromechanical Relays and Components, Position on IEEE 323-1974.
. g.
Review of draft copies of two (2) PSMBD Test Programs for Class IE qualification that are in preparation for final qualification of candidate relays for Class IE applications.
3.
Findings a.
Deviations None.
b.
Unresolved Item Certain PSMBD relay products for use in Class IE applications have not been fully qualification tested to meet applicable IEEE Standards. Qualification test programs are in progress and will be inspected for adequacy and completeness, during a future inspection.
D.
