Areas Inspected:
Implementation of 10 CFR 50 Appendix B criteria, and applicable codes and standards including: previous inspection findings; internal audits; nonconformances and corrective action; manufacturing process control; procedure, document and drawing control; qualification of personnel performing special processes (NDE); equipment calibration, and welder qualifications.
The inspection involved twenty-five (25) inspector hours on site.
Results:
In the eight (8) areas inspected, seven (7) deviations from commitments were identified. No unresolved items were identified.
Deviations:
Internal Audits - audits not performed on a monthly basis nor has the program been audited within a twelve (12) month period (Notice of Deviation, Item A); Nonconformances and Corrective Action - nonconforming material reports show no evidence of being reviewed by the Authorized Nuclear Inspector (Notice of Deviation, Item B); Manufacturing Process Control -
activities operators not signing operations off on travelers, inspection hold points were by-passed, and parts are stamped in wrong location (Notice B0022 80 l[.6 L
2 of Deviation, Item C.I. and C.2.); Procedure, Document and Drawing Control -
drawing requires marking in a location which cannot be accomplished because of the size of the part (Notice of Deviation, Item D.I. and D.2.); Drawings have incorrect code marking symbols for the material specifications (Notice of Deviation, Item E); Many drawings show no evidence of review by engineering and quality assurance (Notice of Devation, Item F); Qualification of Personnel Performing Special Processes (NDE) - two (2) persons have been certified as being qualified Level II examiners without being given a vision test (Notice of Deviation, Item G).

Action on Previous Inspection Findings 1.
(*Losed) Deviation No. A (Report No. 79-01):
This item dealt with the placement of purchase orders with vendors who were neither on the Approved Vendor List nor AShE certificate holders.
Corner and Lada Co., Inc., (C&L) has implemented their committed corrective actions, in that all vendors have been either surveyed and placed on the Approved Vendors List or they are ASME certificate holders.
2.
(Closed) Deviation No. B (Report No. 79-01):
This item dealt with activity operators not signing off their respective operations on the travelers, and QA inspection hold points being by passed.
C&L implemented their committed corrective action for the specific violations cited; however, their actions to prevent recurrence appear to be inadequate as indicated by a similar deviation identified during this inspection.
(See Notice of Deviation, Item C).
3.
(Closed) Devation No. C (Report No. 79-01): This item dealt. with the failure of welders to perform within the parameters of the non-essential variables of a weld procedure specification.

4.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (Report No. 79-01): This item dealt with the failure of department managers (except Engineering) to develop a written program for indoctrination and training.
