- SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCY No. 63
" PROCUREMENT OF SPARE / REPLACEMENT PARTS"
? INTRODUCTION.
, LThis' report is submitted in'accordance with'the requirements'of 10CFR50.55(e).
The problen.as presently: identified is the apparent-lack of documentation of 2 appropriate technical and' quality requirements for safety-related spare and;
-replacement parts that.have been received onsite. This problem-is. considered to not be, reportable under the requirements of 10CFR50.55(e) (See Justification)._ To the best of our knowledge this' problem has not been identified to the USNRC in.accordance with-the requirements of.10CFR21.
DESCRIPTION
~ LP&L'onsite Operations Quality Assurance personnel identified programmaticL deficiencies with respect to the procurement of' spare and replacement parts.
It:was believed-that as many;as 300 purchase orders for safety-related spare t
- and replacement' parts were affected.. Some of the spare and replacement parts which-may have' lacked sufficient documentation of technical and quality Frequirements and/or-proper receiptiinspection could.have been. installed in
'aafety-related systems without documentation as-to'their installed _ location.
U JIf confirmed this deficiency would have represented a failure to fully-comply with applicable portions of 10CFR50, Appendix B,' Criteria II, IV, VII, VIII.
and XV.
' SAFETY IMPLICATIONS
)The use of spare and replacement parts with indeterminate qualifications is
. unacceptable in safety-related' systems and components. Failure of these spare
~
- or
- replacement parts, if left uncorrected, may result in system failure l adversely affecting' safe: plant' operation..
ic
-JUSTIF'ICATION:
(LP&L' contracted an engineering consulting firm to review each safety related i
and/or QA required-purchase order issued prior to 7/01/82. This review was later: expanded to include all pur'hase orders issued in.that period. Each c
' documented review performed.by the consultant was evaluated by LP&L for' final resolution and. disposition.
VAfter detailed investigation and evaluntion of the purchase order packages LP&L has determined that'the identified. deficiencies were not programmatic 7,
lwith respect to the procurement of spare and replacement parts. All potential
~
. deficiencies identified by the consultant have been resolved.

The results of the LP&L procurement review project did not require removing any parts from the plant, did not invalidate any startup testing, and indicates that there was no breakdown in the procurement administrative control program. - In addition, LP&L Nuclear Operations Quality Assurance Group audits the procurement activities on a scheduled basis, with an audit of this area scheduled prior to fuel load. This problem was considered reportable _in the first interim report (LP&L letter number W3I82-0061) based on_the
- information available. However, based on the results of the procurement.
- review, LP&L does not_ consider this item reportable pursuant to 10CFR50.55(e).
