Areas Inspected:
Implementation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B Criteria, and applicable codes and standards including: previous inspection findings; nonconformances and corrective action; joint fitup and welding; special welding applications, and liquid penetrant examination.
The inspection involved twenty-three (23) inspector-hours on site.
Results:
In the five (5) areas inspected, two (2) deviations from ccanitment were identified.
Devi ation:
Liquid Penetrant Examination - it could not be verified that tne total sulfur and halogen content of the liquid penetrant in use did not exceed 1" by weight, which is contrary to Criterion IX of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 (Enclosure, Item A.), Joint Fitup and Welding - performance of production gas tungsten arc welding not consistent with the requirements of the applicable weld procedure specification and Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 (Enclosure, Item B.).

2-DETAILS SECTION (Prepared by L. E. Ellershaw)
A.
Persons Ccntacted R. A. Asselta, Quality Assurance Engineer K. Gess, Quality Assurance Engineer M. L. Harseman, Manager, Naval Nuclear QA Engineering R. Itoh, Weld Engineer R. J. Martin, Weld Foreman G. J. Pribicko, Weld Engineer F. Ruyak, Foreman T. Stagnitta, NDE Level III, Quality Assurance Engineer B.
Action on Previous Insoection Findings 1.
(Closed) Deviation A. (Report No. 78-01):
This item dealt with certain nonconforming parts not being identified, segregated, nor placed in a holding area.
Westinghouse Electric Corporation, Electro Mechanical Division (W-EMD) has implemented their committed corrective action in that observation of nonconforming parts revealed that such parts were identified and segregated.
2.
(Closed) Deviation B. (Report No. 73-01):
This item dealt with parts not being tagged with Hold Tags af ter their conditional releases (CRs) had expired.
W-EMD has implemented their ccmmitted corrective action in that a review of the conditional r, :ase log revealed that no CRs had expired.
3.
(Closed) Deviation C. (Report No. 78-01):
This item dealt with unauthorized changes in calibration frequencies of certain calibration equipment by Gage Room personnel which resulted in certain equipment being overdue for calibration.
W-EMD has implemented their committed corrective action in that a review of calibration equipment and their respective records, revealed that the frequencies were as required and no equipment was found to be out of calibration.
4.
(Closed) Deviation D. (Report No. 78-01):
This item dealt with unidentified bare filler rods (stellite 6) being stored in the Weld material storage area rather than being scrapped.
W-EMD has implemented their committed corrective action in that observation of weld material storage areas revealed that all material was identified in accordance with applicable procedures.
5.
(Closed) Deviation E. (Report No. 73-01):
This item dealt with W-EMD establishing visual examination acceptance criteria which was less than the required Jaeger 1.
W-EMD has implemented their committed corrective action in that acceptance criteria was revised to reflect equivalency to Jaeger 1, and all inspection personnel were re-examined to the new criterit.
C.
