SUBJECT:

FEFLACEFENT PARTS FOR ASME SECTION III COLE COMP 0NENTS We have completea cur review of your request dated Aucust 6,1985 regarding replacer:.cnt parts for certain ASME Section III Coce components. PSEuG is experiencing instances where it is now no longer possible to purcFese replace-rtrt parts for certain punps that were ccnstructed to Section III, Cicss 3 cf the ASPE Ccce including the Code N-stamp. This is due to the fact the original ranufacturer of the purps sold the product line to another rLoufacturer who does not have an N-stamp and Cc.dc Authorization. Replacement parts may therefore be purchased in cerformance with Section !!!, Class 3 of the Code but without the h-stan p. ,

lhe pumps which were provided as pert of the Emergency Diesel Generator package by Colt Incustries are: fuel oil pumps P-402 A, B, C, and 0; and lube oil keep warm pumps P-407 A, B, C, and D were constructed by Crane Deming. Complete pumps and replacement parts withcut an l!-stamp are currently cbtairable from the  ;

Gorrzr.-Pupp Company. ,

Based on your request, we understand that PSE6G would prccere replacement pump f

! parts that are in conformar.ce with all the requirements of ASNE Section III, Class 3, incluoing all appropriate quality assurance requirements which will

, be in cocpliance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. PSE&G would also perforn, the appropriate vendor survey and assure compliance with code requirements.

The staf f finds the methods of procuring replacement parts for ASME Section III, Class 3 pumps where the current manufacturer has no ASME Code Authorization and N-Type Stanp to be acceptable for the Hope Creek Generating Station. This approval ;

is contingent on a PSE&G comitment to 1) perform the appropriate vender survey,

2) assure compliance with pertinent provisions of Section III of the ASME Code ,

(except for the N-Stamp), and 3) provide an ASME type certification document  ;

certifying all other related Section III requirements have been con: plied with.
