/ rules and regulation, ASME Ccde requirements and his commitements in the Quality Assurance Program; also, to ver'fy that the design verification procedures are properly and effe,tively implemented.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The objective of this area of the inspection was accomplished by:
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual, Revision a.
5; (1) Section 2.0 - Control of Inquiries, Order Entry, Product Design, Engineering Documents, and Specifications (2) Section 3.0 - Procurement Control for Materials and
- Services, to verify that the vendor had established procedures to prescribe a system for design verification, to ascertain whether the requirements of the Design Specifications, and Code and Contract requirements have been included, as appropriate, in the design documents.
b.
Reviewed the following RI-FCD procedures:
(1) 36-70-03-03, Design Control; and (2) 36-70-10-03, Structured Bill of Material Development and
- Issue, to verify that they had been pr9 pared by the designated authority, approved by management, and reviewed by QA, in accordance with the vendor's QA ccamitments.
c.
Reviewed the following RI-FCD peccedures:
(1) S01-70-11-02 The Admistration and Management of Design Engineering Records; and (2) S01-70-10-01 Design Engineering Document Control, to determine whether they contained measures to verify the adequacy of the design, and require the results of the design verification to be documented. Also to verify that the design verifications considers the importance to safety, identifies

. 2.
Method of Acccmolishment The objective of this area of the inspection was acccmplished by:
a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual, Revision 5;
(1) Section 1.2 Responsibility of the Manager, Quality Assurance and (2) Section 3.0 Procurement Control for Materials and
- Services, to verify that the vendor had established procedures for procurement source selection, bid evaluation, and award of contract, that is consistent with MRC regulations and Code requirements.
b.
Review of the following RI-FCD procedures:
(1) 36-41-01-05, Procedure for Performance of Vendor Audits, (2) 36-41-02-03, Source Inspection, (3) 36-23-12-01, New Vendor Selection - Current Vendor A : it, and (4) 36-23-17-02, Non-Inventory Requisition and Purchase Order Preparation, Approval, and Distribution.
To verify that procurement source selection, bid evaluation, and contract award procedures, were prepared by the designated authority, approved by management, and reviewed by QA, in accordance with the Vendor QA Program.
c.
Review of the procurement source selection procedure to verify that it provides for integrated action and evaluation of the supplier's performance history.
d.
Review of the bid evaluation and contract award procedure, to verify that it provides for the following:
(1) measures to assure that the supplier's bid conforms to the procurement document; (2) that the bid are evaluated by the designated individual, and
. Suppliers who are holders of an ASME Quality Systea Certificate (Materials).
RI-FCD management revise procedur. 36-41-01-05 to eliminate this inconsistnecy by requiring the approved vendors list to identify such vendors by it's Quality System Certificate number and its expiration date. The revision to the procedure was approved prior to the exit interview.
(3) RI-FCD procedure 36-41-01-05 a Procedure for the Performance of Vendor Audits at paragraph 6.2 states " Scheduled audits /
reaudits may be conducted by telephone and letter communication with vendors other than foundries," and does not require managements approval to do so.
This appears to by-pass the requirement for managecents approval.
RI-FCD managemnet revised the procedure to pennit telephone and/or letter communication vendor audits and/ or reaudits, only when authorized by the manager of Quality Assurance.
The rev Tion to the procedure was approved prior to the exit interview.
c.
Within this area of the inspection no deviations or unresolved items wera identified.
E.
Control of Soecial Processes - Welding Procedure Specification 1.
Objective The objectives of this area of the inspection were to ascertain if the welding procedure specifications used by the vendor in produc-tion welding had been prepared, approved, qualified and controlled in accordance with NRC rules and regulations, ASME Code requirements and the commitments in his ASME accepted Quality Assurance Program.
2.
Method of Acccmolishment The objective of this area of the inspection was accomplished by:
a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual Revision b;
(1) Section 4.0 Process and (2) Section 5.0 Welding Quality Assurance,
_g_
f.
Observation in shop to verify that the welding procedure specifications are available to the welding supervisor and that the specifications are folicaed by the weldors.
g.
Interviews with personnel to verify they are knowledgeable in the procedures applicable to welding.
3.
Findings a.
The inspector ascertained that the vendor had prepared, approved, qualified, and controlled the welding procedure specifications in accordance with NRC rules and regulation, ASME Code requirements and the commitments in his ASME accepted Quality Assurance Program; however, the inspector did identify one area that requires record research by the vendor.
(See paragraph C.)
b.
Within this area of the inspection no deviations v ere identified.
c.
Unresolved Item In the review of the vendor's welding procedure specifications, and the welding procedure qualification records, it was noted that the welding procedure qualification didnot record the actual values for amperage, voltage, travel speeds, preheat and interpass ct mperatures, etc. used in quali fying the procedure.
The inspector br "ght this matter to RI-FCD's managements attention. As an. ample, Procedure Qualification Record No. C-13 Revision
, for fillet and groove welds, specifies a minimum preheat c. 700F; and a maximum interpass temperature of 450 F; however, WPS MS-PI-211N Revision 2, specifies a minimum preheat of 2000F and a maximum interpass temperature of 6000F.
This was used to illustrate where the reduction of 1000F of the preheat could result in a violation of QW 406.1;Section IX, of the Code.
RI-FCD management stated they would review the actual test records and would make this information available to the inspector during his next inspection.
F.
Manufacturing Process Control - Welding Aaterial Control 1.
Objective The objective of this area of the inspection was to ascertain whether welding materials are controlled and identification maintained
. b.
Within this area of the inspection no deviations or unresolved items were identified.
G.
Inspection and Test Ultrasonic Examination 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to ascertain that the ultrasonic examination procedures used by the vendor meets NRC rules and regulations, ASME Code requirements, and his QA Program commitments and contract requirements.
Also, to ascertain whether the ultrasonic examinations are performed by qualified personnel, using qualified procedures.
2.
Method of Accomplishment
...e objectives of this area of the inspection was accomplished by a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality 'msurance Manual, Revision 5;
(1) Section 4.0 Process Control (2) Section 6.0 Mondestructive Examination, to verify that procedures had been established for ultrasonic examination.
b.
Review of the following RI-FCD procedures; (1) MS-1029 NE-C, Revision 5, " Ultrasonic Examination of Castings,"
(2) MS-10C9 NE-8, Revision 2, " Ultrasonic Testing of Barstock and Forging's,"
to verify that they have been approved and qualified in accordance with the ASME Code requirements and the quality assurance program. Also to verify that they had been accepted by the Authorized Inspector (ANI).
c.
Review of the procedures listed in paragraph b.,
to verify that the type of equipment, the extent of coverage, the scanning technique, the calibration requirements, the size and frequency of searsh units, the amplitude or electronic distance - amplitude correction and transfer mechanism, the scanning gain setting, the acceptance levels or limits for evaluation, and recording of indications, and the method of recording significant are specified.
