E'. Whitesell,'CEief Date ComponentsSection I Vendor Inspection Branch Summary Inspection March 24-28, 1980 (99900005/80-01)
Areas Inspected:
Implementation of Topical Report and other applicable codes and standards, including nonconformances and corrective actions; grids and miscellaneous components; and handling, storage, and shipping. The inspec-tion involved thirty (30) inspector hours on site by one NRC inspector.
Results:
In three (3) areas inspected, one deviation and one unresolved item was identified.
Deviation: Nonconformances and Corrective Actions - several QCDNs were found which did not have operational status noted on them as required by the QCI and section 6 of the Topical Report.
(See Notice of Deviation, Enclosure)
Unresolved Item:
Grids and Miscellaneous Components - not all of the acceptance crfteria was referenced explicitly in the QCI 932607, for spider assembly weld inspections.

B.
Nonconformances and Corrective Actions 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that-The manufacturer's system contains sufficient measures to a.
provide assurance that nonconforming materials, parts, or components are not inadvertently utilized and that prompt corrective actions are taken.
b.
The manufacturer's system meets the requirements of Criteria XV and XVI, Appendix B, 10 CFR 50.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
Review of the Westinghouse NFD Topical Report WCAP 7800, a.
Revision 5-A, Section 15, Nonconforming Material, Parts or Components; Revision 16, Corrective Action which established the general requirements for nonconformances and corrective actions controls.
3 b.
Review of the Quality Control Manual Sections 15.1 Nonconform-ing Materials, Parts, Components, Assemblies, and Processes, Revision 5; 16.1 Corrective Action, Revision 5; which estab-lished the specific requirements of nonconformances and cor-rective action controls.
Review of the following Quality Control Instructions (QCIs) c.
which established additional specific requirements of noncon-formances and corrective actions controls: Quality Control Deviation Notice (QCDN), QCI 000112, Revision 8, Hold Tags, QCI 000113, Revision 5, "DA" Tag Control Program, QCI 000145, Revision 4, Material Rejection Notice (MRN) File, QCI 000162, Revision 2, and Control of Deviations Noted in Inspection
-(Machine Shop), QCI 932916, Revision 5.
d.
Inspection of work and material in process at several inspec-tion stations such as rod area, machine shop, receiving, grid and skeleton areas.
The status of randomly selected parts was verified.
When nonconforming materials were found, the reviews, dispositions, corrective actions and approvals were verified to be proper: When reworks or repairs were found, they were verified to be proper and in accordance with the above procedures.
3.
Findings a.
Deviation See Notice of Deviation.
b.
Unresolved Items None.
c.
Comments Particularly in the skeleton area it was noted that several of the QCDNs, i.e. QCDNs 13221, 13207, 13008 and 13213, were not documented that all other inspection operations were completed packages with these particular skeletons.
The data contained i
checklists, which indicated that the balance of the QCI operations had been completed and accepted, and therefore the operational l
status, and the completion of the inspection operations were not totally lost for those skeletons which had their data packages
(
with them.
4 C.
Grids and Miscellaneous Components 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
The manufacturing and quality control practices and procedures a.
for in-house manufacturing of grids and other miscellaneous components are sufficient to give assurance that these compon-ents meet specifications and contractual requirements.
b.
The manufacturer's system is capable of producing quality components.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accom'plished by:
Review of the Westinghouse NFD Topical Report WCAP-7800, a.
Revision 5-A.
Section 5, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings: Section 10, Inspection; Section 11, Test Control; Section 14, Inspection Test, and Operating Status which established the general requirements for grids and miscel-laneous components controls.
b.
Quality Control Manual, Section 5.1, Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings, Revision 6; Section 10.1, Inspection, Revision 4; Section 14.1, Inspection and Test Status, Revision 3; which established the specific requirements of grids and miscellane-ous components controls.
Review of Product Specification, Spider Assembly, NFP-31030, c.
Revision 6, and Process Specifications, Fabrication of Spider Assemblies for Control Rod Assemblies, NPS-83314, GD, Revision 4; Brazing and Heat Treating of Austenitic Stainless Steel and Inconel-718 Components, NPS-595210, Revision 21; Cleaning of Nuclear Components, NPS 595214, Revision 3; Inert-Gas Shielded-Arc Welding of Austenitic Stainless Steel, NPS-595215, Revision 8 and drawing Control Rod Spider Assembly, 882D213, Revision 26.
d.
Inspection of the following Quality Control Instructions (QCIs) which' established additional specific requirements for the spider fabrication:
Control Rod Spider Assembly, QCI-932607, Revision 4; Control Rod Spider Assembly Load Tester, QCI-932614, Revision 8;
=
5 and Grids, Spiders, T/N Springs, Machine Components, Spring Retainers-Furnace Temperature and Vacuum Charts, QCI-934103, Revision 22.
e.
Observation of the brazing and inspection operations of Control Rod Spiders and verification of compliacce to the above speci-fications and procedures.
3.
Findings a.
Deviations None.
b.
Unresolved Item QCI 932607 addresses the inspection of the welding on the spider
' assembly.
The specification details the levels of acceptable porosity. The specification requirements have been incorp-orated into Working Component Standard, WCS-010.
The WCS-010 which is part of the training program for inspectors, however, it was not included in the QCI.
Westinghouse has agreed to revise the QCI 932607 to include WCS-010 requirements.
D.
Handling, Storage and Shipping 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
Handling, storage and shipping operations are conducted in a.
such a way as to give assurance that damage or/ deterioration will not occur.
b.
The manufacturer's system meets the requirements of Criterion XIII, 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
a.
-Review of the Westinghoase NFD Topical Report WCAP-7800, Revi-sion 5-A, Section 13, Handling, Storage, and Shipping which established the general requirements for handling, storage, and shipping controls.
b.
Review of the Quality Control Manual,-Section 13.1, Handling, Storage, and Shipping, Revi.aon 3; which established the speci-
^
fic requirements of handling, storage, and shipping controls.
