20555 June 15, 1988 NRC BULLETIN NO. 88-05 SUPPLEMENT 1:
NONCONFORMING MATERIALS SUPPLIED BY PIPING SUPFLIES, INC. AT FOLSOM, NEW JERSEY AND WEST JERSEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY AT WILLIAMST0WN, NEW 1ERSEY Addressees:
All holders of operating licenses or construction pemits for nuclear power j
reactors.
Purpose:
The purpose of this swplement is to 1) provide additional information con-Jersey Manufacturing Company (WJM)g Supplies, Incorporated (PSI) and West cerning material supplied by Pipin
, 2) reduce the scope of the requested materials review to only flanges and fittings, 3) delineate actions licensees are requested to take to identify these materials and to determine whether the materials comply with ASME and ASTM design and material specifications, and 4) clarify what actions licensees are requested to take once they identify meterial that does not comply with the above material specifications.
Description of Circumstances:
On June 10, 1988 the NRC staff was infomed by Carolina Power & Light (CP&L) that the Shearon Harris Nuclear Plant Jad tested two flanges from their ware-house that had been supplied by WJM. The two flanges were identified as belongit's to Heat No. 7218, SA-105 material. The CP&L test results did t.ot match tMse reported on WJM's Certified Material Test Reports (CMTRs) and did not meet the tensile and yield strength requirements for SA-105 material.
Required minimum tensile strength is 70 KSI whereas the measured tensile strengths were 45 KSI and 46 KSI. The tensile strength reported on the CMTR was 77 KSI. Required minimum yield strength is 36 KSI whereas the measured yield strengths were 27 KSI and 31 KSI. The yield strength reported on the CMTR was 50 KS!
Measured chemistry composition was also out of specification, notably percent carbon was very low at 0.045 and manganese was measured at 0.32 (requiredrange0.6to1.05).
Bulletin 88-05 requires that all PSI and WJM supplied material be identified and that a detemination be made as to its suitability for the intended or 60Vol5Uh
L.
k NRCB 88-05, Supplement 1 June 15, 1988 s
Page 2 of 3 actual application. This supplement narrows the scope of review from ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTM fittings and flanges.
In view of the recent verification that flanges which do not comply with ASME and ASTM speci-fications have been supplied to the nuclear industry, the time frames for certain actions are also modified by this supplement.
Actions Requested:
The actions requested in Bulletin 88-05 remain in effect with the following additions:
1.
ReviewofpurchasingrecordsbaybereducedinscopefromASMEand 1
H ASTM"materials"toASMEandASTM"fittingsandflgnges"andthe review should be initiated and completed promptly.
2.
The scope of paragraph 2 ef Bulletin 88-05 is reduced from ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTM "flanges and fittings." All other provisions of paragraph 2 of Bulletin 88-05 remain in effect.
3.
The scope of paragraph 3 of Bulletin 88-05 is reduced from ASME and ASTM "materials" to ASME and ASTM "flanges and fittings." For ASME and ASTM i
flanges and fittings furnished by PSI or WJM already installed in safety-related systems in operating plants, the following actions are requested:
a.
Comence appropriate testing of accessible flanges and fittings
[
promptly to identify confonnance of materials to ASME and ASTM
- l material specifications. Test results for flanges and fittings t
reported to be.from the same heat should be compared for consist-
~~
i ency and for conformance~ to the ASME/ ASTM specifications and to values listed on material CMTRs. Any deviation from the specifi-cation requires an appropriate analysis justifying continued operation.
b.
If any inaccessible flanges or fittings are identified, an analysis must be perfonned justifying continued operation.
~
c.
All other provisions of paragraph 3 of Bulletin 88-05 remain in effect.
4.
For flanges and fittings already identified as having been supplied by PSI or WJM, the actions requested in 3a and 3b above are to be completed
{
within 30 days of receipt of this supplement.
For flanges and fittings fdintified hfter receipt of thi~s supplement, the actions requested in 3a and 3b above are to be completed within 30 days of identifying the flanges i
or fittings as being supplied by PSI and WJM.
1/
Based on the discovery by CPAL of nonconforming flanges and on NRC review of records of WJM's production of numerous flanges purportedly from Heat No. 7218, licensees should specifically be alert to identify records for flanges from Heat No. 7218.
e
NRCB 88-05, Supplement 1 June 15, 1988 Pags. 3 of 3 5.
Addressees are requested to retain nonconforming materials until advised further by the NRC. Nonconforming materials should be segregated to ensure that they are not inadvertently used.
6.
Addressees are encouraged to report the results of tests of PSI and WJM supplied flanges and fittings to the INPO Nuclear Network for dissemi-nation to the industry.
Reporting Requirements:
The reporting requirements of Bulletin 88-05 remain in effect with the following additions:
1.
The NRC Operations Center should be so1 Nd by telephone, 202-951-0550, of the need for analysis to justify cont %ed operation as required in para-graphs 3a and 3b. Where the need for analysis to justify continued operation results in a requirement for a report under 10 CFR 50.72, the notification to the Operations Center should be in accordance with the repor' ting times re-quired by 10 CFR 50.72.
If the need for analysis to justify crinued operation would not result in a requirement for a report under # 5 CR 50.7?,
the notification to the Operations Center should be made withit 4 Nurs.
2.
Include the results of all tests of PSI or WJM materials in the written respunse to Bulletin 88-05.
The written reports required above shall be addressed to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Comission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555, under oath or affirination under the provisions of Section 182a, Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended.
In addition, a copy shall be submitted to the appro-priate Regional Administrator.
This requirement for infonnation was approved by the Office of Management and Budget under blanket clearance number 3150-0011.
Coments on burden and dupli-ications should be directed to the Office of Management and Budget. Reports Management, Room 3208, New Executive Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20503.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact one of the technical contacts listed below or the Regional Administrator of the appropriate NRC regional office.
