E INTERIM REPORT, REVISION 1 - DER 81-25' POTENTIAL REPORTABLE DEFICIENCY ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY (APS)

PVNGS UNITS 1, 2, & 3 I. Potentiai' Problem Eight (8)'of a total of nine (9) Auxiliary Feedwater Pumps supplied by Bingham-Willamette.were disassembled due to seizure of the rotating assembly. Storage and maintenance of this equipment was performed by Bechtel' as per Bingham-Willamette Instruction Manual (Log #M021-157-2) and included dry rotation of the pump shafts. Conditions noted include:

a. Galling of the shaft

b. Rubbing of impeller case rings / throttle bushing

c. Metal filings present All eight pumps were returned to the Bingham-Willamette factory in Portland,. Oregon, and upon disassembly, the binding was found to be

< caused by galling of the stainless steel center stage piece and stainless steel shaft sleeve.

Equipment Tag Numbers: 1, 2 and 3 - M-AFA-P01 1, 2 and 3 - M-AFB-P01 1, 2 and 3 - M-AFN-P01 IIi_ Approach To and Status of Proposed Resolutions Bingham-Willamette has prepared a new procedure for packing, shipping, -

storage, etc. , and has indicated this action will. resolve the condition.

Bechtel Engineering requested that other concerns be answered, parti-

cularily for shaft deflection'during future storage and stand-by.

conditions wherein the pumps could again be subjected to galling of

'the shaft. Bechtel has corresponded with Bingham-Willamette regarding these concerns and a test was performed on December 15,16, and 17, 1981.

Bechtel has verified that the test results demonstrate the pump design is satisfactory.

III. Projected Completion of Corrective Action and Submittal of the Final Report The final report will be completed by 2-18-82, and include the test

. procedure and test report.
