Action on Previous Inspection Findings (Closed) Deviation (Report No.
77-04):
Lack of acceptance limits of test conditions in some Chem Lab Manual procedures.
All the necessary revisions to the Chem Lab Manual have been made in order to resolve this concern.
(Closed) Deviation (Report No.
77-04):
Measures did not provide for documentation that optical pyrometers and theromocouples have a known relationship to national standards. Quality Control Instruc-tion 000140 on Tool and Gage Control has been revised to prevent this problem. The particular instruments have been listed in the calibra-tion schedule.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (Report No.
77-04):
Quantification of the microfilm manufacturers storage recommendations. Westinghouse has reviewed its storage practices with its film manufacture and received assurance from the manufacture that the film storage is acceptable.
C.

3.
Findings a.
Deviations None.
b.
Unresolved Items None.
D.
Material Control 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
a.
The system for identification and control of materials, parts, components and subassemblies during fabrication is sufficient to prevent the use of incorrect or defective materials, parts or components.
b.
A system is utilized which will insure that all manufacturing and inspections steps are accomplished in the prescribed sequence.
2.
Method of Accomplishment a.
Review of the Westinghouse N.F.D. Topical Report, WCAP-7800, Revision 4-A, dated March 1975, Section 8 which established the general requirements for material control.
b.
Review of the Quality Control Manual, Identification and Control of Materials, Parts, and Components, Section.8.1, Revision 3, and Q.C.I.'s Issue and Disposition of Hold Tags by QC Personnel, 000103, Revision 4, Fuel Assembly Data Pack Overcheck for Certification, 000199, Revision 5,
. Component Traceability by Receiving Lot Number, 000127, Revision 2, Procedure for Q.C. Audit of Traceability Records for Fuel and Non-Fuel Contracts, 000130, Revision 6, which established the specific requirements of material control.

3.
Findings a.
Deviations Welding of Spider Assembly R-136, and Fuel Assembly, 39A, were observed and in both cases electrode contact was noted by the inspector. The applicable specification, Inert-Gas Shielded-Arc Welding of Austen' tic Stainless Steels, 595215, Revision 6, dated April 25, 1978, Section 6.6.2 requires the work to be stopped, the electrode to be redressed, and the contact area to be ground to remove all electrode material.
In the above cases none of the above requirements of Section 6.6.2 were performed.
The procedures, Assemble Fingers and Vanes to Body 17x17, 732100, Revision 2 and Weld Top Nozzle to Assembly and Check Rod Gap, 730110, Revision 0, did not address the requirements found in Section 6.6.2.
During the review of the specification 595215 it was also noted that paragraph 6.3.2 was also not addressed in the procedures.
