nuary 21, 1980 IE Bulletin No. 80-02 INADECUATE QUALITY ASSURANCE FOR NUCLEAR SUPPLIED EOUIPMENT Description of Circumstances:

The Marvin Engineering Company (MEC) of Inolewood, California was the subject of a special NRC inspection conducted on September 18-21, 1979 to evaluate their overall GA and OC programs which had ccme under severe criticism by a former l'arvin Engineering employee. The special inspection was judged necessary since the Marvin Engineerina Company was a known subcontractor and supplier to General Electric of BWR reactor internal feedwater soargers and feedwater thermal sleevas. The results of the NRC's inspection established that serious deficiencies exist in the implementation of the MEC quality assurance program relative to the manufacture of these components. During this inspection, twenty seven deviations from applicable codes, and contrac-teal and regulatory requirements were documented in the areas of material identification and centrol, process control, welding and nondestructive examination.

Corrective Action The Marvin Engineering Company has been issued the NRC's detailed inspection recort of the Ccepany, and civen 30 days to infern the NRC how the deviations discussed in the report will be corrected and p*eventive action taken.

Action To Be Taken All BWR licensees and construction permit holders shall stpoly the tollowing information within 90 days for operating plants and 120 days for plants under construction.

1.a. Have reactor feedwater scarcers and thermal sleeves manufactured and/or fabricated by the Marvin Engineerino Company been purchased and/or installed in your facility? Since Marvin Engineering is principally a subcentracting Company, determine if your equipment oriainated with the Marvin Company and was eventually supplied to your facility throuch another contractor / supplier.

1.b. Provide a description of this equipment to include its purchase date and its design function during bcth normal and accident conditions.
