Report Number: SD 413-414/83-04 Report Date: April 8, 1983 Facility: Catawba Nuclear Station, Units 1 and 2 Identification of Deficiency: The Gulf & Western (G&W) Bonney Forge facility of Carlinville, Illinois has been noted as upgrading of materials per ASME Section III NCA 3867.4(e) incorrectly. Several areas of concern are involved.
Testing of the starting materials by Bonney Forge on a per piece basis is not accomplished.
Comparison of original CMTR to subcontracted materials test reports was not accomplished by Bonney Forge.
Certified material test reports provided by Bonney Forge for fittings manufactured from material qualified or attempted to be qualified under the provisions of NCA 3867.4(e) did not report check analysis results as per NCA 3867.4(a)(1)
(actual results of all required chemical analysis, tests and examinations).
On two occasions material suppliers stamped the CMTR as being manufactured under a quality program accepted by Bonney Forge, although Bonney Forge had not audited these programs.
Initial Report: These conditions were reported in generalities to Mr. A. Ignatonis, NRC Region II, Atlanta, Georgia, by Mr. W. O. Henry, Duke Power Company General Offices, 422 South Church Street, Charlotte, North Carolina 28242, on March 11, 1983.
Component and/or Supplier: Deficiencies involve fittings / material manufactured by Gulf & Western - Bonney Forge, West Broad Street, Carlinville, Illinois.
Description of Deficiency:
(A) Documentation pertaining to fif ty-one (51) heat codes were reviewed, sixteen (16) of which were in question. The 16 heat codes represent materials which were not procured as ASME Section III materials and were not upgraded (qualified) in accordance with ASME Section III NCA 3867.4(e). Compliance to NCA 3867.4(e) is required if stock material is not being certified as being manufactured under an approved quality program by the manufacturer of the stock materials in question.
(B) In the case of two heats, the comparison of the original CMTR to subcontracted material test reports was not performed properly.
(C) On one heat all check analyses were not reported.
(D) There were heats where the material supplier stamped the CMTR as being manufactured under a quality program accepted by Bonney Forge.
- ' ~
- Analysis of Safety Implications: We have reviewed the necessary documentation and obtained copies, met with the manufacturer and performed additional testing,-all of which gives us the confidence level needed to conclude that the material specification has been met.
Therefore, there are no safety implications.
-Corrective Action: Meetings and discussions were held with Bonney Forge management regarding_their quality program deficiencies, which resulted in the material being nonconformed. All questionable material has been verified-by Duke to be' acceptable and nonconformances_will be cleared by May 1, 1983.
Bonney Forge has committed,to correct the program deficiencies.
In the meantime they have been removed ~from Duke Power's Approved Vendors List.
