However,suggestions contained in this information notice are not NRC requirements;therefore, no specific action or written response is required. | | The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory |

| | |
| | notice to alert addressees |
| | |
| | that American Power Service (APS) of Georgetown, Massachusetts, has deliberately |
| | |
| | given falsified |
| | |
| | American Society for Nondestructive |

| | Testing (ASNT) certificates |
| | |
| | to an NRC licensee in connection |
| | |
| | with the procurement |
| | |
| | of commercial-grade |
| | |
| | services. |
| | |
| | It is expected that recipients |
| | |
| | will review the information |
| | |
| | for applicability |
| | |
| | to their facilities |
| | |
| | and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. |
| | |
| | However, suggestions |
| | |
| | contained |
| | |
| | in this information |
| | |
| | notice are not NRC requirements; |
| | therefore, no specific action or written response is required.Description |
| | |
| | of Circumstances |
| | |
| | In response to information |
| | |
| | submitted |
| | |
| | by the Northeast |
| | |
| | Nuclear Energy Company (NNECo), the NRC recently investigated |
| | |
| | APS, a vendor that provides commercial- grade services for the resurfacing |
| | |
| | of babbitt material on bearings. |
| | |
| | The NRC determined |
| | |
| | that the president |
| | |
| | of APS deliberately |
| | |
| | and improperly |
| | |
| | falsified ASNT certificates |
| | |
| | and gave them to NNECo.Discussion |
| | |
| | On March 4, 1994, NNECo advised the NRC by letter (Accession |
| | |
| | Number 9403150377) |
| | that on February 15, 1994, it had received apparently |
| | |
| | falsified certificates |
| | |
| | from APS. NNECo had contracted |
| | |
| | with APS for commercial-grade |
| | |
| | services in supplying |
| | |
| | rebabbitted |
| | |
| | bearings for a Millstone |
| | |
| | Unit No. 2 reactor building closed cooling water system pump. Since APS did not have a NNECo approved quality assurance |
| | |
| | program, the rebabbitted |
| | |
| | bearings were to be dedicated |
| | |
| | and accepted under NNECo's quality assurance |
| | |
| | program. The dedication |
| | |
| | process included ultrasonic |
| | |
| | examination |
| | |
| | which was to be performed by NNECo as part of the receiving |
| | |
| | inspection. |

| | K)J IN 95-45 October 4, 1995-~ During NNECo source inspection |
| | |
| | of APS, the APS president |
| | |
| | informed the NNECo Quality Assessment |
| | |
| | Services (QAS) inspector |
| | |
| | that APS had developed |
| | |
| | in-house ultrasonic |
| | |
| | testing capability |
| | |
| | and gave the inspector |
| | |
| | copies of what appeared to be ASNT certificates |
| | |
| | identifying |
| | |
| | three of the company's |
| | |
| | employees as ultrasonic |
| | |
| | testing inspectors |
| | |
| | or examiners. |
| | |
| | Upon observing |
| | |
| | that the certificates |
| | |
| | had identical |
| | |
| | serial numbers, the NNECo QAS inspector |
| | |
| | contacted ASNT and learned that ASNT had not issued the certificates |
| | |
| | in question.. |
| | |
| | NNECo informed NRC of its findings in the March 4, 1994, letter, (Accession |
| | |
| | Number 9403150377). |
| | |
| | The NRC Office of Investigations |
| | |
| | determined |

| | a commercial-grade |
| | |
| | service and since the acceptance |
| | |
| | of the bearings was based on ultrasonic |
| | |
| | testing performed |

| In response to information submitted by the Northeast Nuclear Energy Company(NNECo), the NRC recently investigated APS, a vendor that provides commercial-grade services for the resurfacing of babbitt material on bearings. The NRCdetermined that the president of APS deliberately and improperly falsifiedASNT certificates and gave them to NNECo.DiscussionOn March 4, 1994, NNECo advised the NRC by letter (Accession Number9403150377) that on February 15, 1994, it had received apparently falsifiedcertificates from APS. NNECo had contracted with APS for commercial-gradeservices in supplying rebabbitted bearings for a Millstone Unit No. 2 reactorbuilding closed cooling water system pump. Since APS did not have a NNECoapproved quality assurance program, the rebabbitted bearings were to bededicated and accepted under NNECo's quality assurance program. Thededication process included ultrasonic examination which was to be performedby NNECo as part of the receiving inspection.Po T j~1C'- 9s'-oqs 9$i0oo'950927013~r9519 I IMt'tRS-q5q

UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 October 4, 1995 NRC INFORMATION
NOTICE 95-45: AMERICAN POWER SERVICE FALSIFICATION
OF AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR NONDESTRUCTIVE
TESTING (ASNT) CERTIFICATES
Addressees
All holders of operating
licenses or construction
permits for nuclear power reactors.
Purpose
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is issuing this information
notice to alert addressees
that American Power Service (APS) of Georgetown, Massachusetts, has deliberately
given falsified
American Society for Nondestructive
Testing (ASNT) certificates
to an NRC licensee in connection
with the procurement
of commercial-grade
services.
It is expected that recipients
will review the information
for applicability
to their facilities
and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.
However, suggestions
contained
in this information
notice are not NRC requirements;
therefore, no specific action or written response is required.Description
of Circumstances
In response to information
submitted
by the Northeast
Nuclear Energy Company (NNECo), the NRC recently investigated
APS, a vendor that provides commercial- grade services for the resurfacing
of babbitt material on bearings.
The NRC determined
that the president
of APS deliberately
and improperly
falsified ASNT certificates
and gave them to NNECo.Discussion
On March 4, 1994, NNECo advised the NRC by letter (Accession
Number 9403150377)
that on February 15, 1994, it had received apparently
falsified certificates
from APS. NNECo had contracted
with APS for commercial-grade
services in supplying
rebabbitted
bearings for a Millstone
Unit No. 2 reactor building closed cooling water system pump. Since APS did not have a NNECo approved quality assurance
program, the rebabbitted
bearings were to be dedicated
and accepted under NNECo's quality assurance
program. The dedication
process included ultrasonic
examination
which was to be performed by NNECo as part of the receiving
inspection.

K)J IN 95-45 October 4, 1995-~ During NNECo source inspection
of APS, the APS president
informed the NNECo Quality Assessment
Services (QAS) inspector
that APS had developed
in-house ultrasonic
testing capability
and gave the inspector
copies of what appeared to be ASNT certificates
identifying
three of the company's
employees as ultrasonic
testing inspectors
or examiners.
Upon observing
that the certificates
had identical
serial numbers, the NNECo QAS inspector
contacted ASNT and learned that ASNT had not issued the certificates
in question..
NNECo informed NRC of its findings in the March 4, 1994, letter, (Accession
Number 9403150377).
The NRC Office of Investigations
determined
that the president
of APS deliberately
and improperly
falsified
ASNT certificates
and gave them to NNECo. NRC informed APS of its finding by letter dated February 14, 1995 (Accession
Number 9502160007).
Since APS was performing
a commercial-grade
service and since the acceptance
of the bearings was based on ultrasonic
testing performed
by NNECo, the integrity
of the bearings was not compromised
and NNECo was able to justify their use in the intended application.

RECORD COPY
K>IN 95-XX June xx, 1995 During NNECo source inspectio
of APS, the APS president
informed the NNECo Quality Assessment
Services (QAS) inspector
that APS had developed
in-house ultrasonic
testing capability
and gave the inspector
copies of what appeared to be ASNT certificates
identifying
three of the company's
employees as ultrasonic
testing inspectors
or examiners.
Upon observing
that the certificates
had identical
serial numbers, the NNECo QAS inspector
contacted ASNT and learned that ASNT had not issued the certificates
in question.The NRC investigation
substantiated
the information
provided by NNECo. The investigation
determined
that the president
of APS deliberately
and improperly
falsified
ASNT certificates
and gave them to NNECo.Since APS was performing
a commercial-grade
service and since the acceptance
of the bearings was based on ultrasonic
testing performed
by NNECo, the integrity
of the bearings was not compromised
and NNECo was able to justify their use in the intended application.
