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 licensees 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.
With respect to this deviation, since immediate and preventative corrective actions were taken and verified before the conclusion of this inspection, a written response is not required.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice," Eart 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter with enclosure and your reply, together with the enclosed inspection report will be.plac.d in the Commission's Public Document Room.
