RE: Perry Nuclear Power Plant m
Docket Nos. 50-440; 50-441 Interim Report on Breakdown in Quality Program of Protective Coatings Contractor
Dear Mr. Keppler:
This letter serves as an Interim Report as required by 10CFR50.55(e) concerning the breakdown in the. quality program of our nuclear protective coatings contractor, Metalweld, Inc. This item was initially reported by Mr. W. J. Kacer of the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company to Mr. R. Knopp of your office on January 23, 1981.
This report includes a description of the condition, planned and completed cor-rective action, and the planned date for the final report.
Problem
Description:
As a result of the findings identified during an F.?C inspection on January 21-23, Work Notification (SWN) No.
1981, the PNPP Project Organization (PO) issued St%
81-01 to our nuclear protective coatings contractor, Metalveld, Inc., on January 23, 1981. Attached to the SWN was Corrective Action Request (CAR) No. 0504 which delineated the actions necessary 'to correct deficiencies in the Metalveld quality program and its implementation.
A listing of' actions planned or taken by Metalveld, Inc., and the PNPP Project Organization.to correct weaknesses in the Metalveld Quality Assurance Program and its implementation was attached to our Mr, M. R. Edelman's January 26, 1981, letter to your Mr. G. Fiorelli. The four primary areas requiring cortective action were:
1.
Indoctrination and training of Metalveld site quality control personnel.
2.
Qualification and certification of all Metalveld site quality control q
' personnel in accordance with the requriements of ANSI N45.2.6 go S
810essoo 71
JP
' Mr. Jtees G. Kapplar February 19, 1981 3.
Measuring and Test Equipment (M&TE) system utilized by Metalweld.
4.
Procedures and checklists governing inspection of protective coating activities.
Based upon field verification by the ERPP Project Organization's Construction Quality Section and the nature of the individual items in program requiring correction, the nuclear protective coatings applied by the contractor prior to issue of SEN 81-01 have been determined to be within specification require-Thus, coatings applied to date could not adversely affect the safety ments.
of plant operations. However, due to the number of findings related to indoc-trination and training of the contractor's quality control personnel, it is conceivable a deficiency could have developed in construction, which, were it to have remained uncorrected, could have ad rersely affected the safety of plant operations.
Planned and Completed Corrective Action:
Intensive indoctrination and training of Metalveld quality control personnel commenced on January 24, 1981, and is scheduled to be completed by March 15, 1981. PO personnel have reviewed and concurred with the lesson. plans for these training sessions; attended the training sessions; and reviewed the results of written examinations administered for each session.
New " task specific" certifications have been issued for all Metalweld site quality control personnel. The PO has reviewed and accepted several groups of the new certifications and qualifications.
The contractor has reviewed and updated the measuring and test equipment (M&TE) system to bring it in accord with current specification and quality program requirements. A complete evaluation and revision of the M&TE system will be completed by March 15, 1981.
Procedures and checklists have been revised to include and clarify all require-ments governing coating activities involved in the first scheduled partial Stop Work Release (SWR). Revisions to the contractor's program have been submitted to and accepted by the P0.
By our letter (M. R. Edelman, CEI, to G. Fiorelli, NRC Region III) of February 9, '1981, we formally notified your of fice of the completion of corrective actions taken to resolve your Immediate Action Letter of January 28, 1981, As required by Item No. 2 of your IAL, we requested NRC review and concurrence with our actions prior to issuance of a partial SWR. Upon completion of the review by the PNPP Resident NRC Inspector and concurrence of Region III, we issued a partial SWR on February 12, 1981, covering coating activities in the Reactor Building #1 Dome.
