Descriotion of Deficiere/

Embedded plates used to connect and strengthen supports for systems in the auxiliary building are stamped with heat numbers which are not .

currently on Phipps Bend's list of acceptable material heat numbers.

This anomaly was detected during a routine inspection. Because the heat numbers of the subject plates are not on Phipps Bend's heat lists, the cmposition of these plates was not known.

Safety Imolications Had the materials used in the embedded plates at Phipps Bend been deficient, the adequacy of attached supports would have been concurrently suspect. Because sane of these plates support safety-related equipnent, failure of the plates could have degraded the safe operations of the plant. However, since the materials in the plates have been determined to be adequate, no degradation of the safety of the plant existed. -

Corrective Action All plates identified with improper heat numbers have been 1 inch or 1-1/4 inch thick and a width of no less than 9 inches. All receiving documentation for steel plate which meets the above dimensional specifications has been reviewed and accepted for use. This record review substantiated that all material received on this site and used for these embedded plates has met the requirements of AS M A-36.

For further verification, an analysis has been performed on a randcm

sampling basis cf the questionable plates by the TVA's Singleton Materials Engineering Laboratory. All plates tested met the requirements of AS E A-36.

Because TVA has determined that the materials in the plates are as specified, 'IVA will use the plates as installed.
