2 DETAILS SECTION A.
Persons Contacted
- D. Coppock, Plant Manager J. McDowell, Shipping and Finishing Foreman M. Newsom, Records Coordinator G. Sharp, ULS Operator J. Simpson, NDE Technician
- J. Wehrle, Quality Assurance Manager
- Attended the exit meeting.
B.
Action on Previous Inspection Findings 1.
(Closed) Deviation A (Report No. 79-02):
Failure to maintain an accompanying Rejection Tag and a Mill Order with four (4) stainless steel pipes held in a reject rack.
Corrective action was implemented prior to the end of the inspection by attaching a copy of the Rejection (rework) Tag No. 4969 to the pipes to control the required rework.
In the followup on preventive actions, the NRC inspector found that preventive action was implemented by requiring that plant foreman reinstruct employees under their supervision relative to the mandatory QA Program requirements regarding material control. A copy of Trent Tubes corrective action response letter dated 11/27/79 to the NRC, was sent to each Production and Inspection Foreman and Supervisor.
2.
(Closed) Deviation B (Report No. 79-02):
Failure to calibrate the voltmeters which control the two (2) automatic voltage control regulators used on the automatic girth welding machine No. 718. The NRC inspector found the voltmeters have been calibrated; calibration record cards for these meters are being maintained, and the calibration status of these specific meters was checked during the October 23, 1979 internal audit.
3.
(Closed) Deviation C (Report No. 79-02):
Failure to provide documented evidence that the furnace used in heat treating SA-358 class 1, ASME Code Section III Class I and 2, T-304 piping, was surveyed as required by the ASME Code NB/NC-2180.
The inspector found a temperature uniformity sun ey was performed by Leeds and Northrup on August 31, 1979 and appropriate records of survey and calibration are available.
4.
(Closed) Unresolved Item (Report No. 79-02):
The QA Manual had not been revised to include specific details regarding the exclusion of procedure and revision numbers on Mill Order
3 travelers for operations such as:
forming, pickling, passavating, planishing, and degreasing.
The NRC inspector found that QA Manual Section 12.0 " Process Control," paragraph 12.2(c) was revised and now specifically deletes listing of procedure and revision numbers on the Mill Orders for the above operations.
