[L ImzRIx REmRr or SIGIFICANT CDNSTRUCTION DEFICIcXY. 63 "PROCURDENT OF SPARE /REPINEENT PARTS" INTBODLL7IN:
This report is subnitted in accordance with the require,ents of 10CFR50.55(e).
. ISe problan as presently identified is the apparent lack of documentaticn of appropriate technical and quality requiraaents for safety-related spare and replaceaent parts that have been received ansite. This problen is considered reportable under the requirements of 10CFR50.55(e). To the best of our knowledge this problan has not been identified to the USNTC in accordance with the requirsaents of 10CFR21.
DESCRIPTION:
LP&L onsite Operations Quality Assurance personnel have identified progrannatic deficiencies with respect to the procurenent of spare and replacement parts.
It is believed that as many as 300 purchase orders for safety-related spare and replacement parts tray be affected. Scme of these spare and replacement parts which may lack sufficient documentation of technical and quality requirenents and/or proper receipt inspection may have been installed in safety-related systens without documentation as to their installed location. Should the present information and indications be confimed during further investigation, this deficiency will represent a failure to fully ccaply with applicable portions of 10CFR50, Appendix B, Criteria II, IV, VII, VIII, and XV.
SAFEIY IMPLICATIONS:
The use of spare and replacanent parts with indeteminate qualifications is unacceptable in safety-related systems ard omponents. Failure of these spare or replacanent parts may result in systen failures adversely affecting safe
-plant operation.

00RRECTET A'_ TION:
LP&L has invited six (6) engineering consulting organizations to present
.<g information regarding their capabilities and experience relative to L
evaluating the extent to which the spare parts difficulty ray emprcraise safe plant operations. LP&L may select one consultant to assist in its own perfonnance of a detailed investigation and evaluation of gaestionable purchase orders which will identify deficiencies in safety-related itens and provide a reua. ended disposition for each iten. This effort is scheduled to be empleted by March 31, 1983, providing sufficient time to inplenent wrrective action and ensure the qualification of safety-related t
systers prior to ccmencing fuel load. Further infornaticn on this detailed investigation and evaluation will be supplied to the NRC by April 18, 1983.
