For the last decade, regulatory expectations for the procurement process for nuclear safety-related commercial-grade items (CGIs) have increased. These changes are driven by US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) concern for fraudulent or misrepresented parts and significant marketplace changes. The industry responded to these concerns by developing improved procurement programs that changed the detail to which parts were specified and received and provided for verification of attributes that were critical to successful performance of safety-related function(s). Like its counterparts, Duquesne Light Company (DLCo) began applying enhanced program requirements to procurements initiated after September 1, 1989, in order to meet the industry's January 1, 1990, commitment.
