Special Process Control 1.

Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that the vendor's special processes are performed under a controlled system which meets the NRC regulations, ASME Code requirements, and contract requirements, and is effective in assuring product quality.

2.

Method of Accomplishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:

a.

Review of the ASME accepted QA Manual,.1 vision 3:

(1) Section 5, titled " Inspections, Procedures and Drawings",

and (2) Section 9, titled " Control of Construction Process",

to verify that procedures had been established that prescribe a control system of the manufacturing processes.

b.

Review of these selective procedures:

(1)

WP-001-140-073,

.A C t TJy 325

/

(2) MW-2-01005-000, and (3) WP-001-140-068, to verify the control system requires saop travelers or process centrol check list be prepared containing document numbers and revisions to which the process must conform and requires all processes and tests to be performed by quali-fied personnel using qualified procedures.

c.

Review of the shop traveler or process control check list to verify it has spaces for reporting results of specific operations or reference to other documents where results are maintained, it includes provisions for sign-off by the vendor indicating the date on which the operation or test was performed, and it provides for sign-off by the authorized nuclear inspector for those activities which he witnesses including the date of witnessing.

d.

Observed in process welding in the following:

(1) Hydrogen recombiner, Part No. N139000001, and (2) Frame assembly Part No. N113000014-01, to verify the.: complicace with the above referenced procedures, and the overall QA program documentation requirements including establishment of mandatory hold points by the authorized nuclear inspector.

Interviews with persornel to verify they were knowledgeable in e.

the procedures applicable to special process control.

b.

Verify that the system described in (a) above, has been adequately documented with approved procedures and that these procedures are being implemented.

2.

Method of Accomplishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:

a.

Review of Section 12, of the ASME accepted QA Manual to verify that procedures had been established to assure that tools, gages, instruments and other measuring devices used in activities affecting quali:t are properly controlled, calibrated and adjusted at specific periods.

b.

Review c: these selected procedures:

(1) 2103, Revision A, (2) 2071, Revision A, and (3) 2079, Revision A, to verify that the calibration control system has been adegaately documented with approved procedures and that these procedures are being implemented.

3.
