SUBJECT:

IMTERIAL TRACEABILITY - HVAC DUCTWORK AND STRUCTURAL SUPPORTS CLASSIFIED AS SEISMIC I In your letter' dated Octcber 30, 1978, the following position on the above subject was noted: -

~

" Certified Hill Test Reports must be provided for all ductwork and structural HVAC supports. llowever, there does not have to be traceability from the Certified Mill Test Report to the ductwork and structural steel-after it has been installed. It is acceptabl_e to maintain the traceability during storage; to assure

that only certified material is purchased for instal-1 lation. Once this material is issued, the require- .

ment for traceability is not necessary."

As noted in a discussion between you and Jim Conway on December ll,1978, the above quoted statement is not a documented NRC position, but this subject was discussed during a telephone conversation in 1977 involving Mr. Mazo of .

Ebasco Services and our Mr. C. J. Helteme:. ,

In response to your letter, the NRC finds this " position" acceptable with the addition.of a qualifier that there is documented evidence that previous data

. (e.g., mill test reports);were found acceptable and are traceable :to a particular item prior to its issuance for fabrication and/or installation. This' documented evidence sho.uld be maintained as a permanent record in accordance with ' ANSI of Quality Assurance Records f;or Nuclear Power Plants.N45.2.9-1974, " Requireme -

In the case of other naterial items (eeg.,- screws, bolts, weld rod, etc.)
