SUBJECT:
Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1 10CFR50.55(e) reportable deficiency in the Auxiliary Control Panel supplied under Purchase Order NY-435190 ITEM:
Etructural welding SUPPLIED BY:
Reliance Electric Company, Stone Mountain, Georgia NATURE OF DEFICIENCY:
The subject Unit i equipment h'as been received at the site. Several welding deficiencies were noted when the equipment was inspected as compared to the vendor drawings.
DATE PROBLEM OCCURRED:
The problem was identified during receipt inspection on March 17, 1983.
DATE PROBLEM REPORTED:
On April 1, 1983, CP&L (Mr. K. V. Hate')
notified the NRC (Mr. A. Hardin) that this item was potentially reportable under 10CFR50.55(e).
On April 26, 1983, CP&L (Mr. N. J.Chiangi) notified the NRC (Mr. A. Hardin) that this item was reportable under 10CFR50.55(e).
SCOPE OF PROBLEM:
The equipment was manufactured in three (3) sections.
It will be bolted together and installed as a single unit. Deficient welds were identified in each section; 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.
e 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.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
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 has been instructed to rigorously follow his QA manual for Unit 2 equipment.
FINAL REPORT:
Final analysis by vendor and HPES indicate the deficient welds possess sufficient structural integrity to survive a design basis seismic event.
Therefore, repairs made will only further reinforce the structure.
