Q UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION
WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555 September
20, 1990 NRC INFORMATION
NOTICE NO. 90-60: 'AVAILABILITY
OF FAILJRE-DATA
IN THE GOVERNMENT-INDUSTRY
DATA EXCHANGE PROGRAM
Addressees
All holders of-operating
licenses or construction
permits for nuclear power reactors.
Purpose
- This information
n'otice is intended to provide information
relative to the availability
of data on engineering', metrology, material problem (failure experience), and reliability/maintainability
through the Government-Industry
Data Exchange Program (GIDEP).'
It is expected that recipients
will review the information
for applicability
to their facilities
and consider actions, as 'appropriate.
'However, suggestions
contained
in this information
notice do not constitute
NRC requirements;
therefore, no specific action or written response is required.Background:
During the past several years, the nuclear industry has uncovered
an increasing
number of instances
where counterfeit, fraudulent, and substandard
parts have been supplied for use in nuclear power plant systems. The NRC has informed the nuclear industry of instances
through information
notices and bulletins.
In addition, the NRC'staff
has been meeting' with other government
agencies to determine
the extent of the problem with fraudulent
and substandard
parts and to exchange information
that may be relevant to the nuclear and other industries.
Several government
agencies have indicated
that the GIDEP system is a primary mechanism
within their agencies and respective
industries
for disseminating
information
regarding
problem parts and suppliers.
The NRC became a member of the GIDEP system in the fall of 1989. Since then, all bulletins;and
informa-tionrnotices
have been included in the GIDEP database for use by other govern-ment agencies and industries.
Discussion:
The GIDEP system is a government-sponsored
program designed'
to facilitate
the exchange of data between government
and industry relating to the design, production, and operation
of equipment
and associated
research.
The system is intended to reduce or eliminate
expenditures
of time and money by making broader use of existing knowledge.
The system is a forum to exchange information
on GCo244'
IN 90-60 September

to provide data on the teist'ing',approval, and reliability
of products;and to provide procedures

and operates fo6f daita interchanges. (engineering, metrology, .material problems,-and
