B.
Document Control 1.
Objectives, The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
The fuel manufacturer's document control system for design, a.
manufacturing, and quality assurance documents is consistent with regulatory requirements.
b.
The document control system includes all drawings, specifi-cations, procedures, instructions, etc. which affect quality.
The document control system is being correctly wplemented.
c.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The preceding objectives were accomplishad by:
a.
Review of the Babcock and Wilcox Commercial Nuclear Fuel Plant (CNFP) Quality Control Policy Manual, Revision 8,
. dated August 1, 1977, Section 6, which established the general requirements for document control.
b.
Review of the CNFP procedures, Distribution of CNFP Quality Control Documents, QC-1425, Revision 1; Distri-bution and Control of Incoming Design Documents at CNFP, PC-1303, Revision 3; Distribution of CNFP Manufacturing Documents, MA-AD-1200, Revision 3, which established the specific requirements of document control.
c.
Verified that a sample of four (4) design specifications and five (5) design drawings were controlled and distributed in accordance with the above procedures. Also verified that the Document Register and Document Releases for the above sample were on file as required by the above procedures.
d.
Verified that the above sample was referenced in the Procurement Authorizations, Applicable Document List, and Special Instructions from the design group.
Verified that a sample of six (6) Engineering Requirements, e.
four (4) Qualification Reports, three (3) Manufacturing Sequences, and one recent project's Bill of Materials and Purchased Materials List were controlled and distributed in accordance with the above procedures. Also verified that Document Index, File Purge Record, Document Control Voucher, and Contract Submittal Requirements were on file for some of the above samples as required by the above procedures.
f.
Verified that a sample of twelve (12) Quality Control procedures were controlled and distributed in accordance with the above procedures. Verified that Document Control Vouchers were on file and that the above sample was found at the work stations.
g.
Verified that for the above samples review and approval had been performed as required by proce jures, and changes were performed in accordance with the procedures.
3.
Findinas It was determined that the document control system is being properly implemented and is consistent with the regulations and the QA Program commitments. However, one (1) unresolved item was identified.
a.
Deviations from Commitment None.
b.
_U,nr_esolved Item Procedure MA-AD-1200 addresses the controls of such documents as Route Cards, Purhcased Materials Lists, Engineering Require-ments, and Bills of Materials.
The procedure requires that all documents have Indexes and File Purge Records. CNFP agreed to revise this procedure to more accurately describe current needs. Not all documents had Indexes and File Purge Records, and it appears that they may not be needed in all instances.
C.
Equipment Calibration 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that the control of measuring and test equipment (.3TE) as r res that only properly calibrated M&TE is utilized in the manufacturing and inspection of fuel, also to verify that the controls of such M&TE are properly implemented.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
Review of the CNFP Quality Control Policy Minual, Revision 8, a.
dated August 1, 1977, Section 12, which est3blished the general requirements for equipment calibration.
b.
Review of the CNFP procedures, Control of Feasuring Equi ment, QC-AD-1405, dated August 21, 1977, Gage Control, QC-800, Revision 3, and its addenda I to VII which established the specific requirements of calibration.
Verified that a sample of nineteen (19) gajes, fifteen (15) c.
instruments, ten (10) equipment and four t1) scales and weights were controlled and calibrated in accordance with the above procedures. Also verified that Record Cards, Calibration Tags, NBS traceability, calibration method, and frequency requirements for the above sample were implemented as required by the above procedures.
3.
Findings Within this area of the inspection, ro deviation or unresolved items were identified.
D.
Nonconformances and Corrective Actions 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
a.
The manufacturer's system contains sufficient measures to provide reasonable assurance that nonconforming materials, parts, or components are not inadvertently utilized and that prompt corrective actions are taken.
b.
The manufacturer's system meets the requirements of Criteria XV and XVI, Appendix B,10 CFR 50.
c.
The manufacturer's system for controlling nonconformances and corrective actions are being properly implemented.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
a.
Review of the CNFP Quality Control Policy Manual, Revision 8, dated August 1, 1977, Section 15 and 16, which established the general requirements for control of nonconformances and corrective actions.
b.
Review of the CNFP procedures, Disposition of Non-Confoming Material, PC-AD-1301, dated July 20, 1971; Procedure for Controlling knufacturing Risk Operations, QC-AD-1427, dated August 24, 1977; Contract Variation Approval Request, QC-AD-1423, dated April 20, 1977; Non-Conforming Materials, Parts, or Components, QC-1413, Revision 1, which established the specific requirements of document control.
c.
Verification that parts, etc. are properly identified by review of material in process and at various work stations and assuring that nonconforming parts were tagged and separ-ated as required by the above procedures. This review included fuel assemblies, spacer grids, receiving materials, fuel pellets, rods and tubes.
d.
Verification that Nonconformance Review Meetings are held, nonconfomance data analyzed, and reports summarizing
. nonconf6rmances/ corrective actions are sent to management; by reviewing the results of the last three (3) Nanconformance Review Meetings held as required by the above procedures.
Verification that Component Discrepancy Reports (CDR) and e.
Contract Variation Approval Requests (CVAR) are reviewed and dispositioned as required by the above procedures by reviews of fourteen (14) recent CDR's, ten (10) project CVAR's and eighteen (18) common submittal CVAR's.
f.
Verification that the above CVAR's were dispositioned in accordance with the above procedures.
