21.21 (d)(3)(i) DEFECTS AND NONCOMPLIANCE PART 21 REPORT - DEFECTIVE RAW MATERIAL USED TO MANUFACTURE VALVE STEMS Dresser-Rand is reporting that one of its vendors supplied annealed material instead of the specified heat-treated material. Dresser-Rand used the defective raw material to manufacture valve stems for Terry Type Emergency Feedwater pump drive turbines. Dresser-Rand has verified that the annealed material is not acceptable for the finished product.

The two customers (Wolf Creek Nuclear Plant and Callaway Nuclear Plant) that received the affected parts have been notified of this issue and have confirmed that the components in question are not in service at their facilities.

The remaining material and affected parts have been quarantined at the Dresser-Rand plant in Wellsville, NY.

All questions should be addressed to:

"DESCRIPTION OF DEFECT OR NON-COMPLIANCE

03/12/2013 U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission OperationsCenter Event Report Pakre 2 Part 21 (PAR) Event# 48745 "Specific designs of steam turbine control valve stems are made from heat treated ASM 5663M Inconel Bar raw material. Certifications associated with heat numbers of certain inventory of this material indicate that the material vendor incorrectly supplied material in an annealed condition (AMS 5662M).

"POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD OR NON-COMPLIANCE "Valve stems are used to control steam turbine speed and power. The valve stems must be free to move within the guiding assembly during operation. Stems are made using materials that have the correct material properties to reduce the risk of failure. The use of inconel raw stock in an annealed condition is unacceptable for steam turbine valve stems due to the risk of unacceptable wear and strength characteristics which could lead to sticking or tensile failure in the mating guide bushings within the valve assembly.

"ADVICE TO EFFECTED CLIENT RELATED TO THIS REPORT "For those affected sites identified, locate and return the material to Dresser-Rand immediately."

Affected facilities include Point Beach, Clinton, Wolf Creek, Cooper, Callaway, San Onofre, and Prairie Island.
