Subject:

Interim Report - DER 84-34 A 50.55(e) Potentially Reportable Deficiency Relating To Critical Friction Type High Strength Connectors File: 84-019-026; D.4.33.2

Reference:

Telephone Conversation between P. Narbut and T. Bradish on May 17, 1984

Dear Sir:

The NRC.was notified of a potentially reportable deficiency in the referenced telephone conversation. At that time, it was estimated that a determination of reportability would be made within thirty (30) days.

Due to the extensive investigation and evaluation required, an Interim Report is attached. It is now expected that this information will be finalized by August 10, 1984, at which time a complete report will be submi'~ed.

Very truly yours k

INTERIM REPORT - DER 84-34 POTENTIAL REPORTABLE DEFICIENCY ARIZONA PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY (APS)

PVNGS UNIT 1, 2, 3 I.

-Potential Problem During a Bechtel engineering inspection walkdown of critical,

~ friction type, high-strength connectors, it was discovered that several= bolts on the Safety Injection (SI) tank keyways had less than minimum specified torque, and slotted holes that were not completely covered by a plate washer.

(Additionally, the review found that the design did not provide a hardened washer under both the nut and bolt head as required by the Specification for Structural Joints using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts.

Less than minimum specified torque was also detected on structural steel framing and main steam line structual steel support connections. These were addressed in reference letter B/ANPP-E-114700, May. 9,: 1984.

II.

Approach To End Status of Proposed' Resolution Bechtel engineering is currently _ studying this problem to determine reportability_and technical justification for corrective action. A draf t of the final report is scheduled to be issued for comments by June 15, 1984.

III. Projected Completion of Corrective Action and Submittal of the Final Report The complete evaluation and final report are forecast to be

. completed by August 10, 1984.
