QA Program Review 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to:
Discuss with QA and senior management personnel the status of the a.
QA Manual and organizational structure.
b.
Determine that status and location of production of Cla'ss IE products.
Discuss the status of QA procedures and manuals that have been c.
compiled and implemented since the last NRC inspection.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
Discussions with QA management concerning the QA Manual which a.
previously had failed to address such areas as compliance to 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and ANSI N45.2 that had been imposed as QA requirements by customers for Class IE switchgear and ci.cuit breakers.
b.
Review of the QA Manual Section 2.0, Organization, dated August 1973.
Review of the Purchasing Manual dated September 11, 1978, which c.
previously had not been implemented.
3.
Findings a.
Deviation None.
4 b.
Unresolved Items None.
c.
Comments (1) The Switchgear Division manufactures two (2) major types of products: Switchgear assemblies that are designed on a
" Customer Order" basis wherein each assembly is customized to the number and arrangement of standard components to customer order and specifications, and switchgear components that are standard devices, such as, circuit breakers, power fuses, con-trol switches, etc.
Class 1E products are in the first category with the switchgear assemblies and low voltage cir-cuit breakers being built in East Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and the medium voltage circuit breakers being built in Puerto Rico.
(2) The document No. NQD-351-00, Westinghouse Switchgear Division Program for the Control of Bought Outside Components used in Class lE Equipment dated November 1979 is being implemented as a supplement to the Purchasing Manual for procurement of products to be used in Class lE equipment.
D.
Design Review / Design Tests / Production Tests 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
Procedures have been established for performing design tests a.
and production tests on Class 1E equipment that are consistent with applicable national codes and standards.
b.
Established test procedures are being implemented for Class IE equipment.
Service conditions identified in procurement documents are satis-c.
fied by equipment qualifications.
d.
Test sequences identified in the qualification test procedures satisfy the test sequence requirements identified in IEEE stand-ard 323-1974.
Sub-components that determine the life of the equipment have been e.
adequately qualification tested or analyzed.
f.
Production test procedures are consistent with applicable national i
standards, test criteria.
l i
5 g.
Design review of Class IE products are subject to design review by another engineer acting independently who signs all job original drawings.
h.
Verify that production orders (manufacturing / shop orders) are completed, fully stamped and signed off by quality control inspectors at completion of final production tests.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
Discussions with the engineering manager and development engine-a.
ering personnel regarding progress in the development and quali-fication of Switchgear Devision generic switchgear for Class 1E applications.
b.
Verifying that qualification testing of generic switchgear and its safety related components has been completed and the final qualification reports will be completed and approved by the second quarter of 1980.
Current documentation concerning this qualification iest program includes the following:
(1) Seismic Simulation Test Report No. 43443-J, June 2, 1977 (this is the test facility report).
(2) Westinghouse Document No. NQD-024-00, Switchgear Addamblies for Class IE A.71ications, Projected Qualified Life Rating 1
for Type DS Bast-Breaker, August 29, 1977, which contains the conclusion that states in part,
. The basic breaker will satisfactorily perform its intended a function for at least 40 years with routine inspection and a
ca.ntenance. During the projected 40 year period, the con-metallic materials, which may age, will retain their important character-istic sufficiently to prevent a common mode failure during a design basis earthquake; and, during a seismic event, the unit will prop-i erly perform its function within the limits described in the seismic report.
"Therefore, it may be reasonably concluded that the basic breaker has a projected qualified life of 40 years within the limits of the operational life specifications."
c.
Verifying by reference to customer purchase orders reviewed f.a previous inspections that service conditions, codes and standards referenced in the purchase orders and related specifications had been satisfied by the qualification tests conducted.
