July 5, 1985 Page 1 ENCLOSURE YANKEE ATOMIC ELECTRIC COMPANY RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GENERIC LETTER 83-28 Item 2.2.2 Vendor Interface (Program for all Safety-Related Components)

NRC Position

2. For vendor interface, licensees and applicants shall establish, implement and maintain a continuing program to ensure that vendor information for safety-related components is complete, current and controlled throughout the life of their plants, and appropriately referenced or incorporated in plant instructions and procedures. Vendors of safety-related equipment should be contacted and an interface established. Where vendors cannot be identified, have gone out of business, or will not supply information, the licensee or applicant shall assure that sufficient attention is paid to equipment maintenance, replacement, and repair, to compensate for the lack of vendor backup, to assure reliability commensurate with its sa fety function (GDC-1). The program shall be closely coupled with Action 2.2.1 above (equipment qualification). The progran shall include periodic communication with vendors to assure that, all applicable information has been received. The program should use a system of positive feedback with vendors for mailingt, containing technical information. This could be accomplished by licensee acknowledgement for receipt of technical mailings. It shall also define the interface and division of responsibilities among the licensee and the nuclear and non-nuclear division of their vendors that provide service on safety-related equipment to assure that requisite control of the applicable instructions for maintenance work on safety-related equipment are provided.

YAEC Response Yankee has actively participated in the NUTAC on Generic Letter 83-28, Section 2.2.2, Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program. The findings of this Committee, its approach and position are described in Reference (e). Yankee endorses the NUTAC approach as a realistic program which is attentive to nuclear safety and is achievable. This program is considered an acceptable program which meets the intents and objectives of Section 2.2.2 of Generic Letter 83-28.

The Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program (VET.IP) at Yankee has been formalized and implemented as a procedure, AP-0075, Vendor Equipment Technical Information Program" (copy attached for information). This program utilizes the NUTAC program as a model and is tailored to Yankee's specific needs and requirements and consists of the following components.

)

July 5, 1985 Page 2

- An Operational Informaton Review Program (0IRP) as described in our procedure, AP-0020, " Operating Information Review"

~

(copy enclosed for information) assures that pertinent information received within and without the company is reviewed, assessed, distributed and acted upon by appropriate plant personnel. This program is established in response to NUREG-0737, Item I-C-5, Procedures for Feedback of Operating Experience to Plant Staff.

Evaluations performed under AP-0020, Operating Information Review program procedure are tracked pursuant to our programmatic procedure, AP-0055, Open Items and Commitment Tracking (a copy is attached for information).

Recommendations for improvement requiring changes in maintenance procedures, test requirements, or operating procedures that result from evaluations are entered on the follow system as appropriate. A cognizant department or party is assigned responsibility by management to revise appropriate procedures, documents, etc. This responsibility in conjunction with a due date is then entered into the Open Item and Commitment Tracking System, which currently is a computerized open item tracking system called PROCTR. These items are reviewed and tracked to completio:. pursuant to AP-0055, Open Item and Commitment Tracking. Periodically, reports on open items are distributed to cognizant department supervisors / managers. The Plant Superintendent is appraised of areas of concern to ensure appropriate and timely actions are implemented.

A positive interface program has been implemented with Westinghouse,. our Nuclear Steam System Supplier (NSSS) as described in Reference (f) (copy' of cover letter plus applicable pages attached for information). This program will ensure that Yankee is kept abreast of the latest developments and problems disclosed by our NSSS. These bulletins are reviewed under our Operational Informaton Review Program.

In addition, Westinghouse forwarded a complete set of Westinghouse technical bulletins and data letters; thus, providing the plant with a complete, current and controlled set of equipment technical information bulletins and data.

- The Nuclear Plant Reliability Data System program reports issued on a periodical basis to the plant are retained for investigating, evaluating and checking of current problems associated with vendor products, as needed.

The Significant Event Evaluation and Information Network See-in program reports (Significant Event Reports and Significant Operating Experience Reports) are appropriately reviewed under our Operation Information Review program described above. Applicable information is incorporated into appropriate procedures, drawings, etc., or placed under our document control system per AP-0075, VETIP.

July 5, 1985 Page 3 Vendors of safety-related equipment are and will be utilized for assistance when problems dictate that such direct interaction is necessary or would be beneficial to ensure that such equipment will operate or continue to operate in a safe manner.

- Equipment technical information received from sources such as USNRC I&E Bulletins, USNRC I&E Notices, USNRC Letter to YAEC, Nuclear Network Other Vendor Technical Information requiring evaluation,10 CFR 21 Reports, etc., is reviewed under our current Operational Information Review Program procedure, AP-0020.

Equipment technical information received from vendors through the procurement process is reviewed by the cognizant department and if appropriate, is incorporated into applicable procedures, drawings, etc., or placed under our document control system per AP-0075, VETIP.

- Administrative procedures require that a listing of reference material pertinent to the conduct of the procedure, manufacturing equipment specification, etc. , be included in the applicable reference section of the procedure. Moreover, applicable procedures will be revised to clarify that this includes appropriate Vendor /

Manufacturer Equipment Technical Information. These revision (s) will be completed as part of the scheduled biennial procedure review program in accordance with the Yankee Operational Quality Assurance Program (Y0QAP-1-A).

As the number of references increases, the program as presently established may be altered to maintain simplicity and reduce unnecessary procedure lengthiness. Traceability to necessary reference materials will be maintained.

- Vendor (s), contractor (s), or technical representatives who perform services on safety-related systems, components, structures shall be an approved / qualified supplier of such services or be specifically approved as described in our procedure, AP-0211, " Material and Service Review Procurement Program" (copy enclosed for information).

- Where vendors cannot be identified, have gone out of business or will not supply appropriate information, sufficient attention shall be paid to equipment maintenance, replacement and repairs to compensate for lack of vendor assistance to assure systems reliability commensurate with its safety function.

In addition the multitude of Tectnical Specification surveillance tests (channel calibrations, channel checks, channel functional test) and other plant surveillance provides an adequate basis to ensure that equipment is operating at a level commensurate with its importance to safety. These procedures are reviewed by management for indication of possible . problems so that appropriate corrective action can be taken in a timely fashion.

u_.m

July 5, 1985 Page 4 The implemention of this program, coupled with Yankee's many years of successful operation during which the company has demonstrated its attentiveness to reactor safety and its capability to design, engineer, and maintain a safe operating plant will assure that safety related system, components, and structures are maintained and operated with current information to ensure reliability commensurate with its intended safety function.

Ap-0211 Rev. 12 ATTACHMENT B Att. B N0 Mil 0N Page 1 ONLY CLASSIFICATION OF ITEMS The requirements.for packaging, shipping, receiving, storage and handling are divided into four levels with respect to protective measures to pre-vent damage, deterioration or contamination of the items, based upon_the important physical characteristics.and not upon the important functional characteristic of the item with respect to safety, reliability and opera-tion. It should be recognized, however, that within the scope of each level there may be a range of controls and that the DETAILED requirements for an items are dependent on the importance of the item to safety or reliability. For example, even though a reactor vessel and structural steel are classified as level D, the degree of protection and control over the reactor vessel should exceed that of the structural steel.

Each of the-specific items governed by this procedure shall be classified

'into one of these four levels. The manuf.act',rer's documented standard or minimum requirements shall be considered when classifying the items. Items, once classified, shall be restricted to the level or higher for each of the packaging, shipping, receiving, storage and handling operations. Items shall not be classified according to the requirements of one level, then packaged, shipped, received, stored or handled according a level of lower grade. Any package unit or assembly made up of items of different levels shall be classified to the highest level designated for any of the respec-tive parts. If the unit is disassembled, a level shall be indicated for each part.

Materials requiring quality assurance, and subjected to the requirements of Reference 3, shall be categorized under one of the following levels:

1. LEVEL A Items classified to Level A are those that are exceptionally sensitive to environmental conditions and require special measures for protection from one or more of the following effects: temperatures outside required limits, sudden tem-perature changes, humidity and vapors, gravitational (g) forces, physical damage and airborne contamination (eg, rain, snow, dust, dirt, salt spray, fumes).

The following shall be used as a guide for classifying items intended for this level classification:

(1) Special electronic equipment and instrumentation.

(2) Special materials, such as chemicals that are sensitive to environment.

2. LEVEL B Items classified to Level B are those that are sensitive to environmental conditions and require measures for protection from the effects of temperature extremes, humidity and vapors,
g. forces, physical damage and airborne contamination and should not require special protection required for Level A items.

ea

AP-0211 Rev. 12 Att. B Page 2 The following shall be used as a guide for classifying items intended for this level classification: gg\06 (1) Instrumentation VOR g (2) Electrical penetrations (3) Batteries (4) Welding electrode and wire (5) Control rod devices (6) Motor control centers, switchgear and control panels (7) Motors and generators (8) Precision machined parts (9) Erection spares, such as gaskets, "0" rings (10) Air handling filters (11) Computers (12) Special nuclear material (fuel) and sources. The requirements of the AEC fuel license and conditions and other governmental agencies shall be met.

3. LEVEL C Items classified to Level C are those that require protection from exposure to the environment, airborne contamination, g forces and physical damage. Protection from water vapor and condensation is not so important as'that for Level B items.

. The following shall be used as a guide for classifying items intended for this level classification:

(1) Pumps (2) Valves (3) Fluid filters (4) Reactor internals (5) Compressors (6) Auxiliary turbines (7) Instrument cable

~

AP-0211 Rev. 12 Att. B Page 3 (8) Refueling equipment g (9) Thermal insulation \Uk (10) Fans and blowers (11) Cement (12) Electrical cable

4. LEVEL D Items classified to Level D are those that are less sensitive to the environment than Level C. These items require protection against the elements, airborne contamination, and physical damage.

The following shall be used as a guide for classifying items for this level classification.

(1) Tanks l

(2) Heat exchangers and parts i

! (3) Accumulators (4) Demineralizers

d. Vendor Int'erface (Technical Information1 i

It is the policy of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation to be a reifable supplier of equipment, parts, and services needed by our customers for use in nuclear power plants. Orders for such equipment, parts and services for safety-related applications are to be given the special attention which is required by applicable regulatory The following requirements as well as comercial practices.

Definition of Safety-Related Ecuioment. Parts and Services 1 Equipment, parts and services are safety-related if the utility customer l j

for whom .the equipment, parts or services are intended indicates that he has responsibility under Nuclear Regulatory Commission Regulation 10 CFR Part 21 for reporting any defects, as defined in that regulation, in the equipment, parts or services as delivered to him or which may subsequently occur.  !

FOR INFORMAT:CN Screening of Orders Entered QNLY' All orders entered are screened by the Westinghouse District Sales Offices, Distributors, Engineering Service Offices, or Repair Plants to determine whether or not safety-related nuclear equipment, parts or services are involved. Our nuclear utilities have been informed that they must ensure that procurement documents fssued by them or by their sub-contractors or agents to Westinghouse clearly indicate if the equipment, parts or services are for a nuclear piant and if so whether or not they are safety-related if they expect Westinghouse to ensure that applicable NRC regulatory requirements are met.

If an order is received for equipment, parts or-services for a nuclear plant without any indication of whether or not it is safety-related, then the customer will be asked the following question:

- Does the customer have any responsibilty under 10 CFR Part 21 for reporting defects, as defined in that regulation, which exist in the equipment, parts or services at the time of delivery or which may l

subsequently occur?

~

If the answer to this question is yes, -the order is entered through an approved order entry channel.

If the answer to this question is no, normal commercial practices apply.

8

s Aceroved Order Entry Channels All orders for equipment parts . identified by the purchaser or through screening for safety-related applications are processed through the Water Reactor Divisions (WRD). All safety-related service orders will be placed with divisions who _are on an approved supplier list for the particular services requested. ,If no approved supplier is listed for requested services, the order will be processed through WRD. FOR INFORLp-mJr ONI.Y Qualification and Training NRC regulations place the responsibility for ensuring that regulatory requirements are met in the procurement of safety-related equipment, parts or services on the utility. The utility is required to provide any special requirements to those' providing safety-related equipment, parts or s er,vice s.

Westinghouse will ask for any special requirements or instructions from the customer when safety-related equipment, parts or services are involved and to ensure that the work done conforms to special requirements or instructions. .

C. Informing Customers - Instruction Books Instruction books are provided by divisions supplying equipment or parts.

Such instruction books include information necessary for proper and safe installation, cperation, maintenance and repair in ordinary commercial applications of such equipment and parts.

Westinghouse divisions providing services are to obtain copies of appropriate instruction books for the equipment and parts which they service from the divisions which originally suppifed the equipment or part s. WRD is to include in its equipment specifications and purchase orders for equipment and parts appropriate requirements for copies of instruction books for its customers and for its own use in developing recomendations to its customers for installation, operation, maintenance and repair of the equipment and parts in nuclear appifcations.

T Instruction books for safety-related equipment are subject to the quality included C assurance requirements of 10 CFR Part 50 Appendix B and are te e on the quality assurance release which must accompany any delivery of safety-related equipment or parts.

Substantive errors discovered in instruction books-for safety-related

~

equipment after delivery to the customer are subject to the reporting requirements of 10 CFR Part 21. Correction of errors may be accomplished by WRD Technical Bulletins in lieu of revising the instruction boo'ks or, in cases in which WRD is not invo1ved, by supplementary information provided directly to its customers by the involved division.

FOR mFOR M. ng Inf orming Customers - Technical Bulletins OM Information supplementing or revising the instruction books or other

- similar materials necessary for proper and safe installation, operation, maintenance or repair of WRD-supplied equipment or parts in nuclear applications is provided by WRD in the form of Technical Bulletins.

Preparation of such Technical Bulletins has been centralized within WRD and is subject to the same d'esign control process which ' applies t'o the equipment, parts and , services to which they relate. Technical Bulletins .

which are safety-related are so identified.

All Technical Bulletins will be transmitted by WRD to every Westinghouse NSSS customer, domestic and international, and such other WRD customers as are affected. Responsibility for this distribution has been centralized for customers with operating piants and for customers for plants not yet in operation in order to ensure that all Technical Bulletins are promptly l distributed. Customers have been requested to provide the necessary distribution lists for their organizations.

All distributions of. safety-related Technical Bu11etins are now accompanied by a return receipt. The return receipts are pre-addressed to a central point in WRD for recording all Technica1 Buitetins transmitted and their status. Technical Bulletins for which receipt is not l

acknowledged with a reasonable time are retransmitted.
