Subject:

Reporting of a Nomcompliance per 10CFR Part 21

Dear Mr. Collins:

McJunkin Corporation has received f rom Carolina Power & Light a Deficiency and Disposition Report (DDR #841) which states that they received two items of material which has been die stamped with non-low stress stamps. Since Carolina Power & Light's purchase order requested stamping with low stress stamps to prevent sharp discontinuities, the stamping done was in violation of their purchase order and, due to the nature of the problem Carolina Power & Light reported the situation to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the requirements of 10CFR50.55E.

McJunkin has been asked to report this noncompliance under the provisions of 10CFR Part 21. Enclosed for your information, therefore, is:

1. Carolina Power & Light's DDR #841

2. Carolina Power & Light's letter informing McJunkin of the situation

3. McJunkin's CAR (#154) to Flowline (manu-facturer involved)

4. Flowline's letter in response to McJunkin's Corrective Action Request Should you require additional information, please feel free to call.

Reference:

Your Order #16-71378 Our Order #8-8372 Carolina Power & Light Order #11-23910 McJunkin CAR #154

Dear Mr. Peters:

Please refer to your CAR #154 regarding the marking of 2 pcs. of 2" Tees Ilt. #51794 and 2 pcs, of 2"x3/4" Conc. Reducers Ht. #56077.

Review of our Production Order indicates that the instruction issued to our shop was that the heat number on both of these items was to be applied by using a low stress stamp. However, as reported by your customer, a non low stress stamp may have been used. As of this date, we have removed any non low stress steel stamps from our Marking Department so this problem should not occur in the future.

May we suggest that your customer return these parts to us for full credit or alternately we could remove the stamp by grinding and reapply the heat number by eithet electro etch or vibro tool marking. Unfortunately, we do not have in our inventory additional pieces tc, replace and quantity is not sufficient for production.

We would like to point out that the stamping was done prior to solution heat treatment and in our opinion the heat treatment af ter marking would have minimized any local stresses. Ue believe that the use of a non low stress steel stamp and subsequent solution annealing the parts would introduce less stress than by using a low stress stamp and not heat treating after marking.

Incidentally, the " Code" does not require heat treatment after low stress steel stamping which is detrimental to Stainless Steel.
