==Description of Circumstances==
CBPS supplied substandard materials to two NRC licensees.Fort St. VrainPublic Service Company Colorado (PSCo,) a contractor for the U. S. Department of Energy, thelicensee for the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at Fort St. Vrain, notified the NRC that CBPS supplied substandard steel plating for a security alarm station at Fort St. Vrai CBPS was required to provide a Certificate of Compliance to certify that materials conformed to Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Standard 752, Level This UL Standard was specified on the PSC purchase orde With regard to the steel plating, the purchase order listed Shot-Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor (CBPS's proprietary name for material that conforms with UL Standard 752, Level 4). CBPS's subcontractor, Metaltek Fabricating, Inc., actually shipped the steel to Fort St. Vrai PSC asked CBPS to provide a certified material test report for the steel, but CBPS declined to do so, claiming that the information was proprietar CBPS told PSC that the material supplied, Shot-Tex #4, conformed to the UL standard and subsequently provided  a Certificate of Complianc PSC had the steel independently tested and determined it to besimilar to A-36 type mild carbon steel, which is not in conformance with UL Standard 752, Level 4.SusquehannaA contractor for Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L), the licensee for Susquehanna, issued apurchase order to CBPS for a replacement gun port, including a mounting plate and side plate, for the Susquehanna plan The purchase order specified that the gun port, the mounting plate and the side plate, were to be constructed of Shot Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor.
CBPS supplied substandard materials to two NRC licensees.Fort St. VrainPublic Service Company Colorado (PSCo,) a contractor for the U. S. Department of Energy, thelicensee for the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at Fort St. Vrain, notified the
 
NRC that CBPS supplied substandard steel plating for a security alarm station at Fort St. Vrain.
 
CBPS was required to provide a Certificate of Compliance to certify that materials conformed to
 
Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Standard 752, Level 4.  This UL Standard was specified on the
 
PSC purchase order.  With regard to the steel plating, the purchase order listed Shot-Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor (CBPS's proprietary name for material that conforms with UL
 
Standard 752, Level 4). CBPS's subcontractor, Metaltek Fabricating, Inc., actually shipped the
 
steel to Fort St. Vrain.  PSC asked CBPS to provide a certified material test report for the steel, but CBPS declined to do so, claiming that the information was proprietary.  CBPS told PSC that
 
the material supplied, Shot-Tex #4, conformed to the UL standard and subsequently provided  a Certificate of Compliance.  PSC had the steel independently tested and determined it to besimilar to A-36 type mild carbon steel, which is not in conformance with UL Standard 752, Level
 
4.SusquehannaA contractor for Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L), the licensee for Susquehanna, issued apurchase order to CBPS for a replacement gun port, including a mounting plate and side plate, for the Susquehanna plant.  The purchase order specified that the gun port, the mounting plate
 
and the side plate, were to be constructed of Shot Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor.
 
After supplying the gun port to PP&L, CBPS provided PP&L a Certificate of Compliance
 
certifying that the gun port material conformed with UL Standard 752, Level 4.  A PP&L
 
metallurgist independently did a nondestructive test of the gun port mounting plate and slideplate.  The test showed that the mounting plate had the hardness of A-36 type mild carbonsteel, and was not in conformance with UL Standard 752, Level 4.DiscussionThe regulations in 10 CFR 73.51, "Requirements for the physical protection of stored spentnuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste," and 10 CFR 73.55, "Requirements for physical
 
protection of licensed activities in nuclear power reactors against radiological sabotage," statethat structures must be constructed of bullet-resistant material.  NUREG-0908, "AcceptanceCriteria for the Evaluation of Nuclear Power Reactor Security Plans," states that an acceptable
 
security plan defines bullet-resistant material as capable of resisting a high-power rifle round
 
(Level 4), as described in UL Standard 752.In the two cases described above, CBPS supplied material that was not in conformance withspecifications of the purchase orders and not in conformance with NRC guidance documents
 
(NUREG-0908).  CBPS certified by Certificates of Compliance that the steel wall armor material
 
supplied to Fort St. Vrain and Susquehanna conformed with UL Standard 752, Level 4, when in
 
fact metallurgical testing by licensees determined the material to be substandard.  PSC's
 
procurement program identified the material as substandard before installing it at Fort St. Vrain.
 
PP&L, after determining that its installed gun port was not in compliance with UL Standard 752, Level 4, took appropriate corrective action.The NRC staff found that although CBPS was responsible for material certification andverification at the Metaltek facility, CBPS did not adequately perform material quality and
 
chemical verification activities.  The NRC also found that CBPS did not typically request certified
 
material test reports for any of the steel used for UL Standard 752, Level 4 applications. This information notice requires no specific action or written response.  If you have anyquestions about the information in this notice, please contact one of the technical contacts listed

Purpose

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing this information notice to informaddressees of substandard material supplied by Chicago Bullet Proof Systems (CBPS) to Fort

St. Vrain and Susquehanna nuclear power plants. 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

CBPS supplied substandard materials to two NRC licensees.Fort St. VrainPublic Service Company Colorado (PSCo,) a contractor for the U. S. Department of Energy, thelicensee for the independent spent fuel storage installation (ISFSI) at Fort St. Vrain, notified the

NRC that CBPS supplied substandard steel plating for a security alarm station at Fort St. Vrain.

CBPS was required to provide a Certificate of Compliance to certify that materials conformed to

Underwriters Laboratory (UL) Standard 752, Level 4. This UL Standard was specified on the

PSC purchase order. With regard to the steel plating, the purchase order listed Shot-Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor (CBPS's proprietary name for material that conforms with UL

Standard 752, Level 4). CBPS's subcontractor, Metaltek Fabricating, Inc., actually shipped the

steel to Fort St. Vrain. PSC asked CBPS to provide a certified material test report for the steel, but CBPS declined to do so, claiming that the information was proprietary. CBPS told PSC that

the material supplied, Shot-Tex #4, conformed to the UL standard and subsequently provided a Certificate of Compliance. PSC had the steel independently tested and determined it to besimilar to A-36 type mild carbon steel, which is not in conformance with UL Standard 752, Level

4.SusquehannaA contractor for Pennsylvania Power and Light (PP&L), the licensee for Susquehanna, issued apurchase order to CBPS for a replacement gun port, including a mounting plate and side plate, for the Susquehanna plant. The purchase order specified that the gun port, the mounting plate

and the side plate, were to be constructed of Shot Tex #4 Bullet Resistant Steel Wall Armor.

After supplying the gun port to PP&L, CBPS provided PP&L a Certificate of Compliance
