Gentlemen:
l Cn April 30, 1930, :he Ragica a Resident Inspector, h: k Skolds, was n2:ified of a raportable iten r.2 ding el'e::~ical penetrations with incor 2ct' blinding pins installations 1.
a eir plug assemblies. Ihis iter: has recently been assigned NRC Repor: No. 30-393/30-la-02.
Nature of Condition Derring an SCE5G program of verifying plug engagement in electrical pene: rations utilizing radiagraphy, it was determined that some plugs had incorrect blinding pin installa:icas.
In particular, some had wrong size blinding pins, so=e had no blinding pins, and so=e had male adap:ce pins installed where there should have been blinding pins. The condition resulted in a site Nonconformance Notice (NCN 1006R) which documen:ed the condi: ions and provides a mechanis:2 to disposition, and to t. rack the cor:2ctin accians to completion of rework.
Cause Tha caus2 of the canit: ion was a combination of 7:a.:edural and implementation caissions.

Mr. Janss ?. O'Fsilly
Page 2 li2y 22, 1930 specifica*ly address blinding pins. To compound this e rrr, inspection i
personnel never pursued the drawing note sta:ing that blinding pins were to be installed, and never questioned the plug sealing aspects during
~
3 inspection of the plug assembly procesa.
Safa:v Inclications The safety inpli:2:icns of the condition is that it could have resul:2d in a line to ground fault that could possibly d:rnage the panecra:icn and braach c:ntainnent during the postulat2d'I.CC1.
Atticas to Corrne: Candi: ions NC'; 1006E has-been dispositienad to have plugs with blinding pins inspec:cd, have the proper blinding pins installad, and have the ra:installa: ion properl/ inspected. Tna UC'! disposition coctains detailed instrue:1:n3 as to the plugs involved and =eth:ds to install and iaspect blinding pins.
Corrective Ac:fons to Prevent Recurrence Procedure changes dealinT wi:h bibding pins.12 elect:-ical penetration plug asaecblies have been nade. to pr: vide sp.rcific verification and QC inspec:or sign off that installation is correct. Taese actions are believed to suf fice in preventing recurrence of the specific condition with respect to electrical penetra: ion plug assemblies, although no further work will ce done in this ar:a af ter the rework recuired by MCN 1006E.
In addi::icn, 21actrical QC supe: tision recognizas the need to be note thorough in rasearching vendor requirenants in areas new to SCE5G to provide adequate work instructions.
SCE5G believes ac: ions outlined above vill adequately resolve deficiencies in electrical penetration plug assenblias.
Since all necessarv actions have baen identified and ara in the process of being inplemented and tracked via
':CN 1006E, ua consider this 2 final report on this subj ect.
All actions taken regarding this iten vill be atrailabla at the construe:ic, site for NRC reviev.
