SUBJECT:
- OCTOBER 28, 1988 MEETING. CONDUCTED BY-CONSUMERS POWER COMPANY (CPCo) 1
' This memo sumarizes an October 28, 1988 meeting that was conducted by Consumers Power Company (CPCo) at its Palisades Nuclear Power Plant as part of CPCo's investigation regarding nonconfonning parts. received from , Sample-Webtrol- for a Masoneilan valve. CPCo has made a 10 CFR Part 21 notification to Region !!I on.
October 18. 1988, on this subject. The: meeting was held to bring together the i
parties involved in this matter, to discuss the possible causes of the' problem, and to try to determine whether other licensees may be.affected.-' CPCo, Sample-Webtrol, and Masoneilan presented their views on the issue and each proposed further followup actions. - Some of the discussions are sumarized below.
CPCo recently received a shipment of hardware parts from Sample-Webtrol-(S-W),
4 a distributor, for a turbine bypass valve manufactured by Masoneilan --(MNI) a 4
division'of Dresser Industries, Inc. The hardware parts were to be MNI parts; however, 5-W, supplied a shipment that contained NNI parts and parts from two unauthorized. vendor' s , Control. Valve Specialty Company (CVS) and Cor-Val. both-located in Houma. Louisiana. The parts were found to be dimensionally unsatis--
factory for. use in the MNI' valves. by the MNI field representative. CECO's pro--
curement inspection relies heavily on.part numbers and since Masoneilan does not provide its piece-part drawings to its customers, the valve parts were accepted by. Ceco as authenic Masoneilan parts. Their part numbers were. compared to their purchase order.
' Ceco has identified that 12 purchase orders for 63 MNI. pieces were procured from
~ S-W from 1983 to 1988; some have been -identified by MNI as' non-MNI parts. All
-parts were purchased as non-Q, commercial grade, and CQ, comercial grade for

E. William Brach dedication to safety related since. CECO is in the process of identifying the location of the 63 S-W supplied pieces. Those stored in the warehouse have been identified and are being controlled. It is believed that at least L pieces may be installed in safety-related components. CECO personnel will <onduct an inspection at 5-W during the week of October 24, 1988, as part of their investi-gation into this matter and try to identify any additional MN1 parts supplied by
- S-W.
S-W stated that they were the authorized supplier of MNI parts for six nuclear facilities; Palisades, Big Rock Point D.C. Cook, fermi, Davis-Besse, and Perry.
S-W indicated that they were fully aware of the need for authentic parts at
- nuclear power facilities and consequently all orders from nuclear facilities were procured only from the authorized or original manufacturers. 5-W did not know the exact reason for the shipment of non-MN1 parts to Palisades, but it is speculated that it may have been the result of an employee attempting to speed up delivery by using available parts. S-W stated that they are a supplier of 4
many different lines cf industrial equipment and that non-nuclear orders are
- sometimes filled by supplying parts from sources other than the original or authorized manufacturer.
S-W reviewed its records, at Ceco's request, to determine the number of orders for Mhl parts shipped to nuclear facilities. This search found that 12 orders for MNI parts where shipped to CECO and 3 were shipped to Big Rock Point Generating Plant (Purchase orders and parts are listed on the enclosed S-W letter). Big Rock Point has been notified of this issue and is reviewing S-K purchase orders for nonconforming valve parts. In addition, the search indi-cated that 5-W had never supplied any Masoneilan parts to D.C. Cook, Fermi, Davis-Besse, or Perry. S-W has indicated it will cooperate in any way possible to determine why the nonconforming parts were supplied to Palisades.
Mhl indicated that although they are aware that other unauthorized vendo: supply hhl parts, they do not authorize or recomend the use of non-MNI parts in their valves. MN1 also stated that CVS was at one time authorized to manufacture and supply MNI parts; however, that agreement was ended in 1980 and MNI requested that CVS return all MN1 orawings and materials. it is believed that although the drawings and materials were returned to MNI, CVS may have retained copies.
MNI indicated that these copies are now absolete since several critical design changes have been made since that time and a non-authorized vendor, such as CVS, woulo not have access to such changes. It was further revealed ; hat Cor-Val was a company started by an individual who previously worked at CVS. MN1 does use sub-contractors for the manufacture of some of their parts; however, all parts 4
from sub-contractors are ordered by MNI and received by MN1 before they are sup-plied to nuclear plants.
MNI stated that they provide parts to customers only through one of their 37 authorized distributors, such as 5-W, and that all of its nuclear safety-related orders are processed through their Avon, Massachusetts office. MN! has committed to perform its own 10 CFR Part 21 evaluation in conjunction with S-W to deter-mine what other licensees may be af fected by this nonconforming parts issue.
Subsequent discussions with MNI on October 27, 1988 revealed that MNI has identi-fied another company that is supplying unauthorized suspect parts for MNI valves.

MNI will also assist CEcoin-inspecting all MN1 parts in stock at Palisaces and verifying their authenticity, in addi2 tion, CECc will be allowed to directly order Mhl parts from MN! while this issue is being resolved.
During a Palisades warehouse tour conducted by CPCo that I requested, the MN!
field representative identified a few more non-MNI parts that were supplied as being authentic MNI parts. Visual inspection of the parts revealed obvious dimensional differences in MN1 and alleged non-MNI parts that had the same part 4
number. It was noted that since MNI does not release any of its piece-part or valve drawings, it is not possible to delineate specific dimensions and toler-ances. If this practice by MNI is in fact typical, then QA receipt inspection would be based mainly on part number con.parison with its purchase order. I have borrowed a few of the suspect MN1 parts from CPCo and they can be inspected at my work station (0WFN 9-F-19). A list of the meeting attendees is enclosed.
1 CPCo, S.W. and MN! are continuing their investigation. They have agreed to work jointly and to resolve the matter as quickly as possible. The NRC will be kept informed of developments. The Palisades Senior Resident Inspector will also be following the resolution of this issue.
