Eighth Interim R port Concerning the Breakdown in the Quality Program-Procurement Cycle of Purchased Material General The purpose of this report is to describe the South Texas Project (STP) activities associated with the Vendor Control Program (VCP). Bechtel assessment activities, under Compliance Work Package EN-630, are as listed in the Seventh Interim Report (Reference ST-HL-AE-846). This report provides the status of the Bechtel program for the evaluation and disposition of the VCP issues.
The continuing activities described below will be completed prior to submittal of our next report.
Continuing Activities 1.
Bechtel has established a Vendor Control Program Completion Group (VCPCG) to summarize the Brown & Root (B&R) Vendor Control Program Task Force (VCPTF) evaluations, confirm disposition of closed items, review remaining open items for closure and resolve any Bechtel-identified items. The VCPCG will identify action items that require further work for resolution, and monitor the status of open items until all issues are resolved.
2.
The VCPCG has performed a preliminary assessment of each of the 164 B&R turnover packages. The assessment indicates that the majority of the B&R VCPTF actions items can be considered closed at this time. The remaining action items will require further Bechtel evaluation or action. No discrepancies have been identified to date that would indicate that a significant safety hazard exists.
3.
The 164 B&R turnover packages have been assigned to 103 sub-work packages for EN-630. This includes bulk material purchase orders and a grouping of the same materials or equipment for Units 1 and 2 in the same subgroup package (for example, the purchase orders 4041 and 8041 concerning Cooper Energy Service - Standby Diesel Generator were treated by the VCPTF as two separate items while the VCPCG has combined them into one sub-work package).
Each sub-work package will document the results of the assessment activities listed in the Seventh Interim Report including the results of the preliminary assessment discussed in paragraph 2 above. Six sub-work packages have been completed and approved by Bechtel. The completed Compliance Work Package EN-630 will consist of the 103 sub-work package summaries and a VCP Action Item List (VCPAIL) of any items continuing to require further action.
4.
Bechtel has started the detailed review of the technical adequacy of the existing documentation for a sampling of the purchase orders. The objective of the detailed review of a sample of the safety related purchase orders is to evaluate the adequacy of the Quality Verification Documents (QVD) submitted by the supplier, against the documentation L

requirements established by Bechtel. The specific purchase orders were selected based upon the following criteria:
a.
A cross-section representative of the material and equipment included in the VCP.
b.
Suppliers with a documented history of quality problems on previous Bechtel projects.
c.
A reasonable number of high priority purchase orders to support the construction schedule.
Of the sampling purchase orders selected, the microfilm review is complete on the following 7:
Purchase Order #
Supplier Material / Equipment 4029/8029 Hills-McCanna ASME III Ball Valves 6014 Southwest Fab ASME III Piping 21" & Larger 4109 Gould Class 1E Batteries 4075 Rockbestos Instrumentation Cable 4026/8026 WKM Valves ASME III Control Valves The detailed review of microfilm performed by Bechtel to date supports the reviews previously performed by the B&R Vendor Surveillance specialists and by the B&R VCPTF.
Areas have been identified where the microfilm is an incomplete record of the QVD available at the jobsite. The existence of hard copies of those records which were not microfilmed (i.e. drawings, travelers) is being verified on a sample basis at the jobsite.
The type of findings being identified during the detailed review of the QVD are essentially the same type as those identified by the VCPTF, and tend to confirm the results of the VCPTF efforts.
