Dear'Mr. Dillon:
During the period of October 14-15,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performed an inspection at Eaton/ Cutler-Hammer's (ECH's), Aftermarket Product Center (APC) in Greenwood, South Carolina, where Westinghouse Type DHP medium-voltage circuit 1 breakers were manufactured for use at lilinois Power Corporation's Clinton Power. Station
'(Clinton). On October 28 and 29,1998, we performed an inspection at your Cheswick, Pennsylvania, facility. At ECH, the NRC inspectors observed the implementation of your quality assurance program during inspection, testing and repair of 4.16-kV Westinghouse Type
-50DHP350,1200-ampere, circuit breakers that ECH recently built as commercial-grade items, and which your organization dedicated and supplied to Clinton as basic components. At Cheswick, the inspectors selectively reviewed the implementation of the Repair and Replacement Services (RRS) 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, quality assurance program for refurbishment of low-and medium-voltage circuit breakers and dedication of commercial-grade items for resale and for use in the refurbishment of safety-related circuit breakers.
During this inspection, the NRC inspectors identified instances in which the implementation of
' the RRS QA program covering the manufacture and dedication of DHP type circuit breakers 7
' failed to meet certain NRC requirements. Inadequate implementation of your QA program
- resulted in numerous deficiencies that were identified at Clinton during receipt inspections of
/
the Class 1E circuit breakers that you supplied. The specific nonconformances are cited in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance and the details are discussed in the enclosed report.
The responses requested by this letter and the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance are not p
subject to the clearance procedures of Office of Management and Budget as required by the
