Closeout of IE Bulletin 83-05: ASME Nuclear Code Pumps and Spare Parts Manufactured by the Hayward Tyler Pump Company.

摘要

Documentation is provided in the report to close IE Bulletin 83-05 regarding ASME nuclear code pumps and spare parts manufactured by the Hayward Tyler Pump Company (HTPC). The bulletin was issued (1) to alert holders of operating licenses and construction permits of nuclear power plants that HTPC failed to implement effectively their quality assurance (QA) program from 1977 to 1981 and (2) to require affected utilities to take action to resolve the potential for failure of the subject pumps and their spare parts. Evaluation of utility responses and NRC/Region inspection reports shows that reliability of the affected pumps was ensured by means of procedures and performance testing of the pumps as required by the bulletin. Based on the evaluation, in accordance with specific criteria, the bulletin is closed for 116 (98%) of the 118 facilities to which it was issued for action and which were not shut down indefinitely or permanently at the time of issuance of the report. A follow-up item is proposed for the two facilities with open bulletin status. Based on favorable results, a conclusion is presented to indicate that the bulletin concerns have been resolved.
