Manufacturing Process Control 1.

Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that the vendor's manufacturing processes are performed under a controlled system which meets the NRC regulations, ASME Code requirements, and contract requirements, and is effective in assuring product quality.

2.

Method of Accomolishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:

a.

Review of the ASME accepted QA Manual, dated t,avember 30, 1978:

(_1)Section V, titled " Document Control" (2)

Section VIII, titled " Identification and Control of Items" (3)Section IX, titled " Control of Construction Process",

to verify that procedures had been established that prescribe a control system of the manufacturing processes.

b.

Review of these selective procedures:

(1) 1P-1X-01, Revision 0 (2)

IP-1X-02, Revision 0

(.3) 1P-1X-03, Revision 0, to verify the control system requires shop travelers or process control check list be prepared containing document numbers and revisions to which the process must confom and requires all processes and test to be preformed by qualified personnel using qualified procedures.

- c.

Review of the shop traveler or process control check list to verify it has spaces for reporting results of specific operations or reference to other documents where results are maintained, it includes previsions for signoff by the vendor indicating the date on which the operation or test was performed, and it provides for signoff by the authorized nuclear inspector for those activities which he witnesses including the date of witnessing.

d.

Review of these selective shop travelers:

(1)

Shop order 18385 (2)

Shop order 18386 (3)

Shop order 18384, to verify their compliance with the above referenced procedures, and the overall QA program documentation requirements including establishment of mandatory hold points by the authorized nuclear inspector.

Interviews with personnel to verify they were knoweledgeable e.

in the procedures applicable to manufacturing process control.

f.

Observed the insertion of tube bundle into shell for an RHR heat exchanger identified on shop order 18388.

It was observed that this operation was conducted in accordance with procedure FP-505, revision 0 and drawing 12475-2, revision O.

3.

Findings a.

Deviation From Commitment Refer to Enclosure Item A.

b.

Unresolved Item None were identified.

D.

Calibration 1.

Inspection Objectives The objectives of this inspection were to:

a.

Ascertain that a system has been established and is maintained to assure that tools, gages, instruments and other measuring devices used in activities affecting quality are properly

_ controlled, calibrated and adjusted at specified periods to maintain accuracy within specified limits.

b.

Verify that the system described in (a) above, has been adequately documented with approved procedures and that these procedures are being implemented.

2.

Objectives Accomolished by:

a.

Review of Section XII, of the ASME accepted QA Manual to verify that procedures had been established to assure that tools, gages, instruments and other measuring devices used in activities affecting quality are properly controlled, calibrated and adjusted at specific periods.

b.

Review of these selected procedures:

(1)

IP-XII-01, Revision 0 (2)

IP-XII-02, Revision 0 (3)
