| Title | Part 21 - Improper Accessory Mounting Bracket Processing |
| Event Description | Equipment Affected by this lnformation Notice: Accessory mounting brackets subject to this Fisher Information Notice (FIN) were provided to Sanmen Unit 1 and Haiyang Unit 1 per Change Notice 32 to Westinghouse Electric Company PO 4500280610, and the Fisher Controls International LLC (Fisher) orders noted below. These orders pertain to Westinghouse Electric Company AP1000 units currently under construction in the Peoples' Republic of China.
Fisher Order 004 - B001252772, Sanmen Unit 1, S/N: 19073505 Fisher Order 004 - B001252773, Haiyang Unit 1, S/N: 19073506 Purpose: The purpose of this FIN is to alert Westinghouse Electric Company that as of 5 January 2016, Fisher became aware of a situation which may affect the performance of the mounting brackets including their safety-related function. Fisher is informing Westinghouse Electric Company of this circumstance in accordance with Section 21.21 (b) of 10CFR 21. Applicability: This FlN applies only to the subject mounting brackets supplied by Fisher to Westinghouse Electric Company via the aforementioned orders. Discussion: Change Notice 32 to Westinghouse Electric Company PO 4500280610 was issued to add commercial grade electronic transmitters to the above referenced serial numbers, which were previously shipped to the Sanmen and Haiyang sites. During the mounting design, it was decided to incorporate the transmitter mounting with an existing switch magnet mounting bracket. Because the transmitter was commercial grade, its mounting parts could also be commercial grade and were processed as such. At that time, Fisher failed to recognize that the existing switch magnet mounting plate was a safety-related item, meaning that the new dual purpose transmitter / magnet mounting bracket should have also been supplied as a safety related item. This resulted in the dual purpose brackets being shipped as a commercial grade item. This oversight was discovered during the processing of other items utilizing the dual purpose bracket for other AP1000 sites. Action Required: Fisher will provide properly processed safety-related mounting brackets to Sanmen Unit 1 and Haiyang Unit 1. Unshipped AP1000 items having these brackets for Sanmen Unit 2, Haiyang Unit 2, Summer Units 2 & 3 and Vogtle Units 3 & 4 have been identified and will be verified as having the proper safety-related mounting brackets prior to shipping. Corrective Action Request (CAR) 1793 has been opened to identify root causes and corrective actions required to prevent reoccurrence. 10 CFR 21 Implications: Fisher requests that the recipient of this notice review it and take appropriate action in accordance with 10CFR 21.
