Structural Welding SUPPLIED BY:

Reliance Electric Company, Stone Mountain, Georgia NATURE OF DEFICIENCY:

The subject Unit 1 equipment has been received at the site.

Several welding deficiencies were noted when the equipment was inspected as compared to the vendor drawings.

DATE PROBLEM OCCUR $ED:

The problem was identified during receipt inspection on March 17, 1983.

DATE PROBLEM REPORTED:

t SCOPE OF PROBLEM:

The equipment was manufactured in three (3) sections.

It will be bolted together and installed as a sf agle unit.

Deficient welds were identified in each secxion; eight (8) welds, total.

SAFETY IMPLICATIONS:

Seismic qualification of the subject panel is required to assure structural integrity during a seismic event.

Safety-related components are located in the cabinet; thus, structural failure would jeopardize operation of the safety-related equipment.

REASON DEFICIENCY IS REPORTABLE: Welding inspection at the site was done using the vendor's QA manual (QCP 5.3).

Deficient welds did not adhere to the manual.

CP&L originated a Field Change Request (FCR-AS-2879) to-have the welds repaired by site personnel.

The. welds have been repaired.

The vendor has been given a copy of the weld deficiency report, the rework done, and has been requested to provide comment and an analysis. CP&L letter with'this information and request is H0-83158 dated May 9,-1983.

PREVENTATIVE ACTION:

The vendor will be instructed to rigorously follow his QA manual for Unit 2 equipment.
