Addressees
All holders of operating licenses or construction permits for nuclear power
reactors.
Purpose
This information notice is being provided to alert addressees to potential
problems resulting from inadequate procurement requirements being imposed by
licensees on vendors supplying components under the ASME Code which may result
in the vendor's failure to implement critical portions of 10 CFR Part 50,
Appendix B, Quality Assurance (QA ) requirements. It is expected that recipi- ents will review the information for applicability to their facilities and
consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems. However, sugges- tions contained in this information notice do not constitute NRC requirements;
therefore, no specific action or written response is required.
Description of Circumstances
On August 15-19, 1988, the NRC staff inspected Anchor/Darling Industries, Inc.
(A/DI), Hatfield, PA . The inspection included a review of A/DI's QA program, as it relates to the manufacture of mechanical shock suppressors (snubbers ) for
safety-related applications. A/DI is a material supplier and is accredited by
the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME ) under a Quality Systems
Certificate. As such, the quality requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure
Vessel Code,Section III , Article NCA-3800, apply.
A/DI's QA manual specifies that only load-bearing parts of the snubber are
subject to the quality requirements of Section III, Division 1, of the ASME
Code. Subsection NF-2121 of Section III, "Permitted Material Specification,"
specifies that gaskets , seals, bushings , springs, compression spring
end-plates, bearings, retaining rings, washers, wear shoes, hydraulic fluids, etc., are exempt from the requirements of Article NF-2000, 'Material," and as
such do not require a Material Manufacturer's Certificate of Compliance pursu- ant to the provisions of NF-2130. The A/DI QA program does not address the
procurement and QA controls of the ASME Code exempt load-bearing parts. The
inspectors noted that A/DI considers several parts in the direct load path of
the A/DI mechanical snubber to be exempt from QA requirements because of the
NF-2121 exemption. These parts include the ball nut, ball bushing , thrust

indicate that licensee audits are not assuring that vendors apply adequate

December XX, 1988 NRC previously conveyed concerns in Information Notice 88-35 that licensee
audits of vendors may not be effectively evaluating the vendor's QA program
and its implementation, specifically in the area of procurement. The examples
discussed in this notice indicate that licensee audits are not assuring that
vendors apply adequate quality requirements for all parts within an ASME
component that have a safety function.
No specific action or written response is required by this information notice.
