Brunner Page 2 UE6C Sket ch, SK-5 /14 / 81-AF, i l lu s t ra t e s the use of one standard stock pipe clamp w:th two each SA-325, 1/2" diameter bolts per tubing support.
Contrary to t he a bove, a s o f Oc t o be r 14, 1981, o ve r t h i rt y o f t he referenced CGC tubing supports had been erected and accepted by QC inspection with balt s other than the high-st rength SA-325 type installed in each pipe clamp.
This i s a Se ve ri t y Le ve l IV Violation (Supplement II).
Pesponse:
Correc t ive Ac t ion Taken and Result s Achieved Ui:6C Engineering Change Approval (ECA) 08/1197A, dated May 14, 1981, necessitated the p roc u reme n t of clamps wi th special SA-325 bolts for use in the containment dome.
Johnson Cont rols (JCI), the instrumentation and control cont rac t or, prepa red a requisition for the material which was forwa rded t o UE6C (const ruc t ion manager) Home Of fice for ac t lon.
UE6C, in turn, ve rba lly ordered the clamps wi th SA-325 bolts and requested that the order be on site by July 1, 1981.
The ha rd wa re (st anda rd bolt s vs. SA-325) was received by the site rec e i vi ng inspection group prior to their rec e i p t of a copy of the change order containing the information that the vendor was to supply standard clamps with special bolting.
Receiving i nspec t ion was pe rf ormed usi ng the product specification as the acceptance standa rd vs. the change o rder specia l requ i reme n t s.
When JCI recei ved the i nc o r rec t ha rdwa re from UE6C, they presumed that it had been properly ordered and receipt inspected and subsequently installed the hangers.
JCI issued their NCR No. 002 (10/16/81) when they became aware of the p ro b l e m.
Correct bolting has been reordered and will be installed when the hangers become accessible.
The dome, f abricated at ground level, is now in place atop the containment.
Yankee will track this condition by use of its' future ve ri f icat ion items system to assure that this condition i s correc ted.
UE6C has conducted training sessions for all parties concerned where it was emphasized that their act ivi t ies must be conducted using proper documentation (i.e., specification, pu rcha se o rd e r, c ha nge o rd e r s, bills of material) and not verbal Instruction.
JCI has Instructed their personnel of the importance of checking material requi rements when prepa ri ng work inst ruct ions prior to installation.
Co r re c t i ve action will be completed when the correct bolting is received and the af f ec t ed ha ngers become accessible f or change-out.
