Mr. P. J. Koen Vice President and General Manager 8760 Clay Road Houston, Texas 77040 Gentlemen:
This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. I. Barnes of this office on October 30 - November 3,1978, of your facility at Houston, Texas, associated with the manufacture of nuclear valves and to the discussions of our findings with you 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 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 cuality, of specific products, components or i
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.
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.

TR'.! Mission Manufacturing Company You will note that deviation A of the enclosure resulted from your continuing failure to take committed corrective actions concerning a deviation (DetailsSection I, C.3.a.(3), Inspection Report flo. 77-02),
identified in our letter of.0ctober 27, 1977, following the referenced inspection. Specifically, in your letter of flovember 23, 1977, you comitted to the issuance of a Quality Control Inspection Instruction and Inspection Report form by December 31, 1977, which would address dimensional inspection requirements and control and identification of measuring equipment used in manufacture.
In fact, the committed actions have still not been taken.
This item was identified.to you originally in our letter of February 23, 1978, following our February 6-10, 1978, inspec-tion, and again following our October 30 - flovember 3,1978, inspection.
Consequently, in your response, in addition to verifying correction of the specific deviation, as requested above, please inform us of steps you have taken, or plan to take, to assure that management commitments will be accomodated in the future.
In accordance with Section 2.790 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice,"
Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal P,egulations, a copy of this letter with enclosure and your reply, together with the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the Commission'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 information is proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary information 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.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, i-4 f'. &.A - f: w_i
