2 5 OCT 1973 Docket No. 99900388/79-01 Marvin Engineering Co., Inc.
Attu: Mr. M. Gussman President 251 West Beach Avenue Inglewood, California 90302 Gentlemen:
This refers to the special inspection conducted by Messrs. I Barnes and L. E. Ellershaw of this office on September 18-21, 1979, of your facility at Inglewood, California, and to the discussions of our findings with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
During the inspection, numerous instances were identified and documented in the enclosed inspection report where you failed to comply with NRC requirements.
The specific findings complete with reference to the applicable requirements are sucmari::ed in the enclosed Notice of Violation and Notice of Deviation.
This inspection was conducted as a result of information provided to us by the Department of Justice.
The main purpose of the inspection was to establish whether past and present manufacturing practices relative to the fabrication of fuel grapple assemblies and feedwater spargers were consistent with applicable codes, contractual and regulatory requirements. To make this determination, the primary areas selected for inspection were material idt atification and control, and manufacturing process control, with particular emphasis being placed on the control of special processes such as welding and nondestructive examination. Also examined during this inspection were the ceasures which you have established for the reporting of defects and noncompliances under Part 21 of Title 10, Chapter 1, Code of Federal Regulations and the actions taken by you with respect to required posting.
It is apparent from the results of this inspection, that our inspectors have established that serious deficiencies existed in the implementation of your quality assurance program relative to the manufactt te of fuel grapple and feedwater sparger assemblies, and, in large part, similar conditions exist today in fabrication of current contracts. What concerns us greatly is that the nature of many of these findings are such, that it appears hbhly improb-able such conditions could exist without the direct knowledge and awareness of responsible officers of your company.

As a result of both your specific failure to comply with applicable provisions of Part 21 and the deficiencies identified by our inspectors, we are concerned that the Commission may not have been adequately informed, as required by 10 CFR Part 21.21(b)(3), relative to defects or failure to comply.
You are therefore requested as part of your corrective action, to reassess your past actions for full conformance to Part 21 requirements.
Should the results of your evaluations conclude that the Commission has not been adequately informed as required under Part 21, you are requested to provide in writing a statement addressing your corrective actions as noted above.
