t ENCLOSURE REPLY TO INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENT BULLETIN 83-06 1.
We have reviewed the lists of purchasing and receiving companies given in Attachments 2 and 3 to IEB 83-06 to determine if any Tube-Line supplied ASME Code materials have been furnished to our facility and installed in safety-related systems. The verification of Tube-Line supplied materials was completed by performing a search of our vendor documentation files and purchase order files. The documentation search included the entire period from construction up to present. As a result of our review, we have determined that certain materials (listed on Table 1) were supplied under safety-related purchase orders but were not installed in any safety-related systems at our facility.
2.
Table 1, provides a listing of the materials we have identified that were provided by Tube-Line Corporation. These materials were purchased for generic safety-related applications. Since all materials have been accounted for and none of the subject materials have been installed nor will they be installed in safety-related systems at our facility, we have not supplemented Table I with a designation of the safety-related systems identified for intended use of these materials.
All of the materials identified on Table 1, with the exception of one,3"- 150# flange, were intercepted in our storeroom and were tagged with non-conformance report hold tags. Following our identification of the non-conforming materials, all in-stock items were returned to our supplier (Capitol Pipe and Steel Products, Co.).
3.
As provided in our response to item 2, we have not installed nor do we intend to install any Tube-Line supplied materials in safety-related systems at Calvert Cliffs.
Correspondingly, the specific requirements outlined in item 3 of the Bulletin do not apply to our facility.
4.
The previous responses to items 1 through 3 provide a description of the status of our facility with respect to the subject Bulletin. However, certain generic concerns have been expressed in the Bulletin and must be addressed to ensure that future purchases of safety-related materials conform with all applicable code requirements specified for the intended end use of these materials. The following resoonse provides a description of the corrective actions we have implemented to alleviate the concerns expressed in IEB 83-06.
Until such time as the sub-vendor, identified in IEB 83-06 has implemented a QA program that provides adequate controls to ensure that materials supplied are in conformance with the applicable codes, we have implemented controls to ensure that no safety-related materials supplied by the sub-vendor are used at our facility. These controls consist of verifications and special instructions integral to the safety-related parts ordering and receipt procedures to identify unacceptable vendors and reject any materials supplied by such vendors. These corrective actions are complete.
