99900109/79-01 Pittsburgh-Des Moines Steel Company Eastern Division, Neville Island Atta:
Mr. B. J. Hughes QA Manager Neville Island Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15225 Gentlemen:
This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. J. W. Sutton of this office on May 21-25, 1979, of your facility at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Neville Island), associated with the fabrication of nuclear containment vessels and to the discussions of our findings with you and other members of your organiza-tion at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA Program is being effectively implemented. The inspection effort is not designed to assure that unique quality requirements imposed by a customer are being implemented; nor to assure that a specific product, component or service provided by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requires each of its licenseea to assume full responsibility for the quality of specific products, components or services procured from others. You should therefore not conclude that the NRC's inspection exempts you from inspections by an NRC licensee or his agents nor from taking effective corrective ~ action in response to their findings.
Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA Program failed to meet certain NRC requirements.
The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
Please provide us within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this report a written statement containing, (1) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to correct these ite=s, (2) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence, and (3) the dates your corrective actions and preventive =easures were or will be completed.
