ATTACHMENT A Completed Response to NRC IE Bulletin 83-07 Summary On Marc 51 22, 1984 Con Edison submitted its reply to IE Bulletin 83-07.
We reported that we had identified additional Ray Miller material in storage and had not concluded our investigation.
It has now been concluded and the material has been determined to satisfy all applicable inspection criteria.
In response to items 2(a) and 2(b) we reported that we would examined two installed. 4" by 3"
schedule 160 reducers.
The examination was completed with no adverse findings.
In response to your letter of June 18, 1984, we reviewed the general concerns expressed in the Bulletin and conclude they are not applicable to Indian Point 2.
Additional Ray Miller Material Further inspections of material stored at Indian Point identified the receipt of miscellaneous fittings, all under 2" nominal pipe size.
This material was ordered from but not received from Ray Miller.
It was received directly from Alloyed Stainless Product 3 Corp. and accompanied by the recuired material chemical and physical properties test reports.
These reports were reviewed by Con Edison Quality Assurance and Engineering and found acceptable.
Since this material did not pass through Ray Miller, but was received directly from the supplier, was supported - by proper documentation, and had been carefully inspected and reinspected by Con Edison Quality Control and evaluated by Engineering, no further action is contemplated.
No other additional " Ray Miller" material has been identified.
Reducers Located Upstream of PORVs (items 2(a) and 2(b)
The two 4"
by 3" Schedule 160 reducers were tested for metallurgical properties, radiographed, wall thickness verified ultrasonically, visually examined and hydrostatically tested to 2385 PSI and 3150F.
The results of these examinations were reviewed by Consolidated Edison's Quality Assurance and Engineering departments. The material was found to be in compliance with specifications and acceptable as installed.
No additional action is necessary.
Material Supplierst Certification Verification The Con Edison NRC-approved Quality Assurance Program includes recuirements for vendor evaluation and selection, vendor surveillance, material receipt inspection, nonconformance reporting and corrective action.
These measures are designed to provide reasonable confidence that purchased safety-related materal and supporting documentation fully satisfy purchase order recuirements including material specifications.
Following are suimmaries of these activities:
i 1
O' Vendor Evaluation Quality Assurance, Engineering,.and Purchasing evaluate the
., quality program, and technical. and commercial capabilities of i
prospective suppliers of safety-related material including their capability. to provide the specified material on a continuing basis.
- Nomally, the evaluation includes a
visit to the prospective supplier's facility by Quality Assurance personnel having the necessary expertise.
Quality program implementation methods and the manufacturing processes that directly affect the desired material are given the greatest attention.
Prospective vendors whose quality / technical
- program, including material verification testing, do not meet requirements for safety-related material are not recommended for approval.
Safety-related material and' supporting documentation are inspected upon receipt at Indian Point.
Quality Control Inspection Peport (QCIRs) are generated for ' items that do not meet purchase order requirements. These QC.Rs are listed in each
~
vendor's file and form the basis for analysis of the vendor's performance.
Surveillance is initiated if the analysis indicates poor supplier performance.
QCIRs are also generated whenever a deficiency is discovered after installation.
These QCIRs are filed as above and included in the analysis of vendor performance.
Materials: Verification of confomance to Specifications Correctness of material, material traceability, and correlation of material and documentation is reviewed and/or verified during receipt inspection and vendor surveillance.
These reviews and verifications have identified instances of incorrect or incomplete material certifications, incorrect material, and missing material certifications.
Such conditions are reported in QCIRs and form the basis for re-evaluation and/or discontinuance of a
vendor as an approved
- supplier, as appropriate.
These measures provide a sufficient level of confidence that fraudulent, incorrect safety-related material will not be installed and used at Indian Point Unit 2.
We have concluded that the general concerns expressed in the Bulletin are not applicable to Indian Point 2.
