  • o AR LINGTON, TEXAS 76011 February 20, 1979 Docket No. 99900047/79-01 Westinghouse Electric Corporation Tampa Division ATTN: Mr. T. D. Miller Product Assurance Manager Post Office Box 19218 Tampa, Florida 33616 Gentlemen:

This refers to the OA Program inspection conducted by Mr. V. H. Hunter of this office on January 8-12, 1979, of your facility at Tampa, Florida, associated with the fabrication of nuclear steam generators and to the discussions of our findings with Mr. J. E. Turner and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

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 iniplemented; 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 rot 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.

Please provide us within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this report a written statement containing, (1) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to correct these items, (2) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence, and (3) the date your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed.

Westinghouse Electric Corp. February 20, 1979 In accordance with Section 2.790 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice,"

Part 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 placed in the Comission's Public Document Room.

If this report contains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that you make a written application within thirty (30) days to this office to withhold such information from public disclosure. Any such application must include a full statement of the reasons on the basis of which it is claimed that the infomation is proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary infonnation identified in the application is contained in a separate part of the document.

If we do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.
