OTHER FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
During the inspection, a review was conducted of the WESCO, Murraysville activities relative to their supply of comercial grade molded case circuit breakers to Westinghouse NSD. Over the last three years, WESCO Murraysville has supplied approximately 200 molded case circuit breakers to the Westinghouse NSD dedication program. Of particular concern was where WESCO obtained the breakers sold to Westinghouse NSD. Recent Information has alerted the NRC to a large supply of refurbished molded case circuit breakers that have infiltrated the commercial marketplace (detailed in NRC Information Notice 88-46).
At the time of the inspection, WESCO was already in the process of determining their supply sources for the 200 breakers and had completed their record review for the 65 most rer'at orders. All of the orders reviewed had been supplied by the Westinghouse business unit that
.3 manufactures the type of breakers in question.
In addition, the NRC inspectors reviewed a sample of the orders and confinned they had indeed been supplied by the Westinghouse business unit.
When WESCO was questioned as to where else they procure breakers, the inspectors were told that if the breakers were unavailable from the business unit. WESCO might go to another WESCO office or outside the Westinghouse Corporation to obtain the breakers. However, WESCO stated that they could not remember ever having to do this for any of the breakers supplied to Westinghouse NSD.
In addition, to the above review, the NRC inspectors reviewed the WESCO financial records for payments to suppliers for 1986, 1987, and 1988.
Several of the suspected circuit breaker refurbishers appeared on the list and in fact had supplied circuit breakers to WESCO Murraysville over this time period.
Each of the orders originating from the suspect companies were tracked and found to have been supplied to non-nuclear customers.
ORGANIZATION: WESilNGHOUSE ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPMAY MURRAYSVILLE, PEhNSYLVANNIA REPORT INSPECTION NO.:
99901132/88-01 RESULTS:
PAGE 3 of 3 A review of the material currently in stock at the WESCO warehouse revealed that the five samples for which records were requested, all had originated from the Westinghouse business unit.
In suninary the NRC review determined that currently no procedures are in place that would prevent WESCO Murraysville from supplying Westinghouse NSD with breakers from other WESCOs or from sources outside the Westinghouse Corporation.
However, the review conducted determined that for the breakers previously sold to Westinghouse NSD, reasonable assurance exists that the breakers originated from the Westinghouse business unit as new and were not refurbished material.
Should Westinghouse NSD continue to procure commercial grade molded case circuit breakers from WESCO Murraysville, procedures would need to be implemented to ensure that only new Westinghouse breakers are supplied.
