99900394/80-01 Metal Bellows Corporation Attn: Mr. R. A. Ely Quality Assurance Manager 20977 Knapp Street Chatsworth, CA 91311 Gentlemen:
This refers to the QA program inspection conducted by Mr. Ross L. Brown of this office on February 11-14, 1980 of your facility at Chatsworth, California associated with the manufacture of flexible metal bellows and hoses and to the discussions of our findings with Mr. J. K. Solheim and others at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA program is being effectively implemented. The inspection effort is not designed to assure that unique quality requirements imposed by a customer are being implemented; nor to assure that a specific product, component or service provided by you or your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requires each of its licensees to assume full responsi-bility for the quality of specific products, components or services pro-cured from others. You should therefore not conclude that the NRC's inspection exempts you from inspections by an NRC licensee or his agents nor from taking effective corrective action in response to their findings.
Areas examined and our firdings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA pro-gram failed to meet certain NRC requirements. The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosure to this letter.
Please provide us within thirty (30) days of your receipt of this report a written statement containing, (1) a description of steps that have been l
or will be taken to correct these items, (2) a description of steps that I
have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence, and (3) the date your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed.
Metal Bellows Corporation Docket No.

Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter with enclosure ana your reply, together with the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the Commission's Public Document Room.
If this report con-tains any information that you believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that you make a written application within thirty (30) days to this office to withhold such information from public disclosure.
Any such application must include a full statement of the reasons on the basis of which it is claimed that the information is proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary information identified in the application is contained in a separate part of the document.
If we do not hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Docu-ment Room.
Should you have any questions concerning this inspection, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, t
Uldis Potapovs, Chiel Vendor Inspection Branch
