INSPECTION ISSUE 1.
Determine who cut material, Interstate or a subcontractor, which failed to meet mechanical properties required by specification, and determine whether the problem is generic.
2.
Provide Interstate with information on defective material and assure that Interstate recognizes their obligation to notify affected customers under 10 CFR Part 21.
B.
INSPECTION FINDINGS The following findings were made during the inspection of the Interstate Steel Supply Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
1.
Followup on 10 CFR 50.55(e) Report a.
Summary of Issue - On April 24, 1985, Illinois Power sent to the NRC the results of their independent testing of 70 of 83 heats of material supplied by Interstate.
Sixteen of the 70 heats tested did not meet the mechanical proper-ties required by the material specification.
b.
Inspection Findings - Of the 16 nonconforming heats of material identified in correspondence from Illinois Power dated April 24, 1985, nine were cut by subcontractors, five were cut by Interstate and one was sold as whole plate.
In addition, traceability was lost on all the material cut by the subcontractors.
2.
Based on the above information, Interstate committed to informing their customers of the defective material as required by 10 CFR Part 21.
It should be noted that as of the date of the inspection, Illinois Power had not informed Interstate of the defective material.
C.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
1.
Defective Material The inspectors reviewed material certifications, purchase orders, shipping documents, and inventory records to determine which company cut the material.
U. S. Steel Corp. heat A84913 and l
ORGANIZATION:
INTERSTATE STEEL SUPPLY COMPANY PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA REPORT INSPECTION NO.:
99900892/85-01 RESULTS:
PAGE 3 of 3 Conners Steel heat 12788 were cut by U. S. Material Service.
Bethlehem Steel Heats 496K1721, 492N0492, 432L7521, 590K8490, 486K2790and 550K2890 were cut by Beverly Steel Company.
Pohang Iron & Steel heat S17871 was cut by Delaco Steel. Phoenix Steel heats 8392067/ABA, 8387467/ABC, 9421421/ACM, 8352821/ACV, 9316221/
ACS and Bethlehem Steel heat 412T3081/ACF were cut by Interstate Steel.
The purchase orders and invoices for material supplied by the subcontractors would indicate that cut material was being supplied rather than the service of cutting plate.
Traceability did not exist between the Certified Material Tests Reports and the cut material because the invoices did not indicate material specification or heat number nor had Interstate performed any audits of their subtier suppliers QA programs. The fact that some of the defective material was cut by Interstate indicates that either Interstate lost control and traceability inhouse or the manufacturer supplied material which did not meet the material specification.
As such, the problem cannot be considered limited to material supplied to the Clinton Power Station and Interstate must determine the cause of the nonconforming material and perform a Part 21 evaluation of the problem.
