' License NPF-1 June 2, 1989 Page 1 of 7 INSTALLED COMMERCIAL-CRADE ITEM REVIEW INTRODUCTION To support the preparation of the Justification for ~:ntinued Operation (JCO) for commercial-grade procurement issues (JCO' bd - * , originally submitted on November 29, 1988 and revised on February 17, 1989, a review l

of commercial-grade items issued from the warehouse between January 1986 and November 1988 was performed to ensure functional adequacy of the items.

Portland General Electric Company (PGE) is performing an additional review and evaluation of items installed between September 1, 1985 and December 1, 1988 to verify and document the original review and to dedicate those commercial-grade' items installed in safety-related applications. This review and overall evaluation process was described in detail in our April 28, 1989 Reply to a Notice of Violation (NOV) on commercial-grado procurement.

By letter dated May 16, 1989, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) requested the following additional information regarding this review and evaluation process of installed items:

1. Summary of results to-date of the review and schedule for replacement of parts.
2. Action to expand the review based on the results to-date.
3. Justification for dispositioning active safety-related components following restart from the 1989 refueling outage.

The information presented belcw supplements the description of the installed commercial-grade itam review provided by our April 28, 1989 NOV response.

1. RESULTS TO-DATE/ SCHEDULE FOR REPLACEMENT of the 1140 Maintenance Requests (MRs) to be dispositioned prior to restart from the 1989 refueling outage, 954 have been dispositioned as of May 26, 1989. A description of how these items have been dispositioned is provided below and is summarized in Table 1. ,

I American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)

Section XI Pressure-Boundary _(PB) Components of the 738 MRs in this group, 649 have teen dispositioned to-date.

Of the 649, 543 have been deferrod to post-outage completion. The reason for the deferral is that these 543 MRs are exempt from ASME Section XI requirements per Subparagraph IWA-7400, " Items Exempt From Requirements of This Article". These MRs were given additional

gaskets, packing and 1-inch and smaller tubing,' valves, piping and fittings.

One MR was dispositioned by Nonconformance Report (NCR)86-220.

The NCR is a means to document, control, and disposition nonconforming materials, parts and components. This includes notification of affected departments and assignment, approval, and verification of corrective actions.

This NCR, along with Spare Parts Equivalency Evaluation Report (SPEER)88-076, addrescos the heat exchangers for the centrifugal charging pump lube oil and gear reducer oil coolers and the safety injection pump lube oil coolers. The purpose of the SPEER is to evaluate whether a replacement part or material, not of original design, is equivalent to the original, and to determine subsequent action to be taken.

Final action to resolve NCR 86-220 will be replacement of the heat exchangers, as noted in Table 2. This is scheduled for completion during the 2990 refueling outage. Operation with the installed heat exchangers has been evaluated and determined to be acceptable. No other NCRs have been originated for PB group items.

The remaining 105 MRs were dispositioned by identifying and verifying the item's critical characteristics or determining that the item did not provida a safety function or affect the function of safety-related equipment.

There are 89 MRs remaining to be dispositioned prior to restart from the 1989 refueling outage.

Environmental Qualification (EQ)

Of the 348 MRs in this group, 267 have been dispositioned to-date.

Further review determined that 13 MRs were actually for non-EQ applications and the MRs were deferred to post-outage completion.

Four MRs have been dispositioned by replacing Limitorque torque switches during the 1989 refueling outage, as noted in Table 2.

This work had already been planned for this outage as a result of concerns with Limitorque's control of subvendors.

One new NCR is being generated because two spring packs in Limitorque valve actuators that were not exact replacements were e installed without a SPEER being issued. Although Limitorque MRs are being reviewed as part of the EQ group .this NCR addresses mechanical items that are outside the scope of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50.49, " Environmental Qualification of Electric Equipment Important to Safety for Nuclear Power Plants".

This NCR is currently under evaluation and will be dispositioned prior to restart from the 1989 refueling outago.

maintain the environmental qualification of the c'mponent.

There.are 81 MRs remaining to be dispositioned prior to restart:from the 1989 refueling outage.

Seismically Sensitive Electromechanical Equipment (Seismic) l Of the 54 MRs in'this group, 38 have been dispositioned. Further review determined that 4 of these MRs were actually for non-seismic ~

applications and the MRs were deferred to post-outage completion.

l Table 2 identifies items from 18 of the MRs that'will be replaced,

.and their schedule for replacement.

The remaining 16 MRs were dispositioned by reviewing the safety-related function of each item and determining the impact of a

' seismic event, or determining that the item did not provido a safety function.or affect the function of sa'lety-related equipment. The non-seismic critical characteristics have been verified by post-l- irastallation, tests,' periodic surveillance tests and normal operation.

Documentation of these critical characteristics will be completed by October 31 ,1989.

result of the installed commercial-grade item review are being made

'because of insufficient documentation only, it has been determined th'at it is not necessary to expand the scope of the overall review

/ to MRs issued prior to September 1,1985. ' The replacement items are l identified in Table 2.

The se pe of the review has been expanded for specific cases, as noted below.

A review of safety.-related molded-case circuit breakers was performed in response to NRC Bulletin 88-10, " Nonconforming Molded-Case Circuit Breakers". This study covered a period from August 1, 1983 to present. One breaker of 147 safety-related breakers procured in that time frame was not traceable to the original manufacturer. This breaker is being replaced as noted in Table 2.

This action was initiated in response to NRC Information Notice 87-66, " Inappropriate Application of Commercial-Grade Components". An NCR has been initiated to ensure these items will be properly dispositioned (i.e.,

operability assessment or replacement) prior to restart from the 1989 refueling outage.

If further review identifies an increase in the number of non-conforming or indeterminate items or a need for replacement for reasons other than documentation, expansion of the scope will be considered.

3.' ACTIVE CCKPONENTS TO BE DISPOSITIONED FOLLOWING RESTART 2n addition to the 560 MRs referenced in the "Results" section

,$43

( ASME Section XI exempt, 13 non-EQ and 4 non-seismic MRs), 740 other MRs will be dispositioned following restart from the 1989 refueling outage, but prior to October 31, 1989. These 1300 MRs have been divided into the following categories of items:

Electrically-Related 270 (plus 13 non-EQ and 4 non-(non-harsh EQ) Components seismic from above)

Mechanically-Reinted 152 (plus 543 Section XI exempt (non-PB) Components from above)

Hangerr and Supports 200 Emergency Diesel Generator 118 Components To develop a level of confidence that active components in these groups will perform their intended safety function, MRs were reviewed

/ from each of the categories, and the commercial-grade items and their applications were identified.

Of the 287 electrically-related MRs, 92 hare reviewed in detail; of 695 mechanically-related MRs, 120 were reviewed in detail; and of the 118 emergency diesel generator NRs, 43 were reviewed in detail. The hangcr and support group was not reviewed since this group does not contain any active components.

The active components identified as a result of this sampling and the justification for deferring these items until after restart is provided in Attachment B. These examples of active components are representative of the types of components found in the group of 1300 MRs deferred to post-outage completion. These items are

typically items whose post-accident environment is no more severe than normal operation and whose operability hae been verified by periodic surveillance and post installation testing. Based on this review, PCE is confident thot startup and.oporation prior to disposition of these Es will not adversely affect safe operation of the Trojan Plant.

The passive corponents are identified in Attachment C. A justification for deferring these items until after startup from the 1989 refueling outage is also provided.
