Systematic Assessment of Licensee performance (SALP1 n
one of the concerns identified in the 1988 NRC SALP Board evaluat3on of safety performance at Trojan involved identification of deficiencies -in-the procurement program for commercial-grade materials.
Portland General Electric Company (PGE)' established an improvement goal to ensure that required levels of quality are applied to materials used in s tfety-related service by use of qualified suppliers, receipt inspection, and testing.
One portion of the improvement plan to achieve-this goal involved reviewing evaluations approving commercial-grade 1
suppliers,-as well as other evaluated quality-related material suppliers, to ensure that'all approved suppliers met applicable requirements.
An Industrial Grade Suppliers List. (IGSL) was initiated to document qualification of commercial-grade suppliers with acceptable quality asaurance programs. Approximately 300 surveys were performed at supplier f acilities. These surveys identified several suppliers with11nadequats -
Quality Assurance (QA)Lprograms. A review of purchases made since January 1,'1989 from those suppliers with inadequate QA programs has been completed. No instances of material procured'from these suppliers being-installed in safety-related applications have been identified.
A review of Material Engineering Evaluations has been performed to identify commercial-grade suppliers who have erovided documentation used in the dedication process. The applicable surveys for those suppliers described above are being reviewed against the Haterial Engineering Evaluations to ensure agreement between what was surveyed and what was certified. This will be completed by December 31, 1989 as previously committed. Discrepancies are being investigated and corrective' actions will be taken as required.
The review of other evaluated quality-related material suppliers, to ensure they meet applicable requirements, will be completed by December 31, 1989, as previously committed. Discrepancies are being investigated and corrective actions will be taken as required.
Evaluated quality-related service suppliers are also being reviewed to ensure they meet applicable requirements. This review will be completed by March 1, 1990.
Another portion of the improvement plan to address concerns with the procurement program involved development and implementation of a program to perform additional onsite testing of commercial-grade items, as well as other quality-related materials. A Trojan Materials Policy outlining
- a testing program for materials has been developed and approved.
In the

-Trojan Nuclear Plant Document Control Desk Docket 50-344 December 29, 1989 License NPF-1 Attachment Page 2 of 2 course of evaluating' the program,- it was detemined that the materials testing program for connercial-grade materials ' adequately addressed the
' ' ~
identified concerns. The testing for comercial-grade materials was implemented concurrently with implementation of the commercial-grade dedication program in December 1988.
~
The material testing program currently includes verification test 1ng for structural steel and fasteners. Under the Trojan Materials Policy, the material testing program has been expanded to include verification testing of.other quality-related materials (with respect to detecting fraudulent' materials).
Efforts are currently being focused on formal-izing this aspect of the program.
Implementation of this expan6d testing program is scheduled for March 1, 1990.
