Subject: 10CFR21 Interim Report 21-97-060: Sentry Equipment Corporation
Commercial Grade Dedication Program Deficiencies
Dear Madam or Sir:
On December 18, 1997, Illinois Power (P) found that Sentry Equipment
Corporation (Sentry) did not have documented procedures describing their
commercial grade dedication process. As a result, Sentry lacked
sufficient objective evidence to provide reasonable assurance that items
supplied to Illinois Power by Sentry have been procured or tested to
requirements needed to demonstrate the capability of the parts to perform
their intended safety function. This deficiency was identified during a
triennial supplier audit performed to verify adequacy and implementation
of the Sentry written quality assurance program. Sentry supplies IP with
replacement parts for the two Drywell and Containment Hydrogen and Oxygen
Analyzers at the Clinton Power Station.
IP determined this issue was potentially reportable under the
provisions of 10CFR21 on December 23, 1997.
Condition Report 1-97-12-289 was initiated to track investigation
and resolution of this issue. IP's evaluation of this issue under the
provisions of 10CFR21 has not been completed. The evaluation of this
issue will be completed by April 4, 1998.
