FINAL REPORT - DER 82-54 DEFICIENCY EVALUATION 50.55(e)
ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY (APS)
PVNGS UNIT #1
- 1. Description of Deficiency APS QA surveillance activity found that the Main Steam and Pressurizer Safety Valves were removed for Secondary Hydro and stored in violation of ANSI N45.2.2 and Dresser Instal-lation/ Maintenance Manuals which state: " Valve, either crated or uncrated, should always be stored with the inlet flange down; i.e., never laid on its side, to prevent possible misalignment and damage to the internals." Addi-tionally, care should be taken to prevent the entrance of foreign material.
e Four (4) Pressurizer Safety Valves (PSV's) were stored at the base of the Condensate Storage Tank exposed to the elements and lying on their sides.
e Twenty (20) Main Steam Safety Valves (MSV's) were stored on top of the MSSS Building in uncovered condition. Many of the valves were stored with body drains facing up.
Investigation of this condition revealed that Bechtel Construction removed the valves in accordance with Bechtel Start-Up Work Per-mits (SWP's). However, the SWP's do not identify storage require-ments or responsibility. Subsequently, APS Start-Up Quality Assurance issued a Corrective Action Request (CAR) No. S/S-82-23 to document its concern that a procedure did not exist for con-trol of permanent plant equipment removed for start-up activities.
II. Analysis of Safety Implications The build-up of corrosion on parts requiring close tolerances, and the potential misalignment of valve internals, may preclude valve operation per their design intent; therefore, to assure valve performance to design intent, the aforementioned valves were transmitted to Wyle Laboratories in Huntsville, Alabama for testing. Prior to testing, the valves will be cleaned and refurbished as required.
This condition is, therefore, evaluated as Reportable under the requirements of 10CFR50.55(e) as a breakdown in the Bechtel Quality Assurance Program.

! III. Corrective Action
(
1 As previously stated, the valves are being inspected, refurbished and recalibrated as required prior to reinstallation. In response to Start-Up QA Audit No. S-82-011, the responsible individuals have verified that all other applicable components in storage are properly tagged, dated and that the control log is up-to-date.
Corrective actions to preclude recurrence for all future interim storage conditions have been documented on APS CAR No. S-62-045-N which identifies the following actions:
- 1. Bechtel Construction Responsible Items
- a. The Construction Work Plan Procedures governing Start-Up Work Permits (SWP's) and System Turn-back Requests (STR's) were revised to address !
material handling and storage responsibilities I as indicated below.
SWP-WPP/QCI 31.3, Rev. 2, PCN #11, effective 11/11/82 STR-WPP/QCI 31.4, Rev. O, PCN # 3, ef fective 11/11/82
- b. Training was conducted for the responsible individuals.
- 2. Bechtel Start-Up Responsible Items
- a. BPC Start-Up now has an approved procedure for
" Material Control and Storage" (AD-122, Rev. 0).
- b. The SWP Procedure (AD-105, Rev. 2) is in revision to describe material control and storage responsi-bilities.
- c. Training on these procedural changes will te completed in the near future for the responsible individuals.
- 3. APS Operations and Maintenance Responsible Items
- a. As an interim measure, a Mechanical Maintenance Department Instruction was generated to describe Control and Storage requirements to be followed during maintenance operations.
- b. Incorporation of material control and storage requirements in the STR Procedure is currently being completed.
- c. Training was conducted on the interim Maintenance Department Instruction. Further training will be conducted as final procedural approval is attained.
