Dear Dr. Murley:
IE BULLETIN 83-06 NONCONFORMING MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY TUBE-LINE CORPORATION NO. 1 AND 2 UNITS SALEM GENERATING STATION DOCKET NOS. 50-272 AND 50-311 PSE&G has performed the following actions in response to the referenced Bulletin.
Item 1 Review the list of purchasing and receiving companies given in Attachments 2 and 3 and determine if any Tube-Line (T-L) supplied materials have been furnished for your facility.
Response
We have reviewed the list of purchasing and receiving companies given in Attachments 2 and 3 to the Bulletin.
Additionally, we physically checked the mill test reports of vendors of pipe fittings and components to determine the vendor's source.
We have found that the following principal suppliers have provided material furnished by Tube-Line Corporation:
Louis P.
- Canuso, Inc., Capitol Pipe and Steel Company, and Empire Valve and Fitting Company.
Item 2A Provide a list of the T-L supplied materials and identify the systems in which these materials are/will be installed.
Response
A listing of the materials furnished by the above suppliers and the systems in which they are installed is provided in Attach-ment 1.

Dr. Thomas Murley, Regional Administrator U.S.
Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11/17/83 Item 2B Implement a program which provides assurance that received materials comply with ASME Code Section III and applicable procurement specification requirements, or which demon-strates that such materials are suitable for intended service.
This program should include specific verifica-tion that received austenitic stainless steels are in a non-sensitized condition.
Response
The materials received through Capitol Pipe and Steel Co. and Louis P.
Canuso Inc. (see Attachment 1) were readily rejected and returned to the vendor for nonconformance.
An engineering evaluation was conducted to verify the integ-rity and suitability of those fittings that are installed in safety-related systems.
(See Attachment 2)
To assure that austenitic stainless steel is procured in the non-sensitized condition, we are currently revising our piping specification to include ASTM 262, Practice A - Oxalic Acid Etch Test.
This test is for detecting susceptibility to intergranular attack in stainless steel.
Item 2C Replace fittings and flanges with materials which have been manufactured in full compliance with ASME Code Section III and the applicable procurement specification requirements.
Response
The PSE&G Engineering Evaluation (Attachment 2) concluded that the material integrity of the subject fittings is well assured.
The certified material test report showed chemical and physical properties within ASTM specification.
Addition-ally, 100% Radiography (RT) and 100% Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) combined with the tensile testing met Nuclear Class 1 material testing requirements.
Item 3 For ASME Code materials furnished by T-L which are 7
installed in safety-related systems in operating plants, the following actions are requested:
a, b, c.
Response
l This action is addressed in 2a, 2b, 2c and Attachment 1 and 2.

Elbow, Sch.40, B.W.,
ASTM A420 WPL6 All the above fittings, except one (1) 3"x90* elbow (Item 4.b above), were installed on safety-related piping components of the Chilled Water System.
To verify the material integrity and suitability of these fittings for the intended service, 100% Radiography (RT) and 100% Magnetic Particle Testing (MT) were performed on three 3" x 90* elbow (Item 4.b), two 3" x 2-1/2" concentric reducer (Item 4.d) and one 3" x 90' elbow (Item 4.e).

Pcgo 2 of 2 Doto:
Oct. 19, 1983 Both RT and MT found these fittings acceptable with no inherent defects (Ref's. 3.b and 3.c).
The Certified Material Test Reports (Ref's. 3.d and 3.e) showed chemical and physical properties acceptable to ASTM specification.
Additionally, one 3"x90* elbow that has not been installed was sent to PSE&G Energy Lab for testing (Ref. 3.f) and the tensile requirements were found to exceed those in the material specification, ASME/ ASTM A234 WPB.
5.0 CONCLUSION
AND RECOMMENDATION Based on the above discussion and written report of tests performed, the material integrity of the subject fittings is well assured.
The total ~of seven fittings examined are considered good representatives of the eleven (11) fittings supplied by Tube-Line.
The installed ten (10) fittings will not, in any way, degrade the Chilled Water piping system, which is a Nuclear Class 3 system.
The non-destructive examinations performed (RT and MT) combined with the tensile testing at the Energy Lab, in fact, exceed Nuclear Class 1 requirements.
We recommend that all ten fittings remain in the system.
