0 3 APR 1980 Docket No. 99900100/80-01 Limitorque Corporation ATTN:

Mr. T. Mignogna Sr. Vice President of Manufacturing 5114 Woodall Road Lynchburg, Virginia 24502 Gentlemen:

This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. R. E. Oller of this office on March 18-20, 1980, of your facility at Lynchburg, Virginia, associated with the manufacture of valve operators and to the discursions of our findings with you and members of your staff at the conclus;an of the inspection.

Unis 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 to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NKC requires each of its licensees to assume full responsibility for the quality of specific products, components or services procured 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 cor-rective action in response to their findings.

Areas examined and our findings 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 Program failed to meet certain NRC requirements. The specific findings and references i

j to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures 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 or will be taken to correct these items, (2) a description of steps that have been or i

will be taken to prevent recurrence, and (3) the date your corrective actions I

and preventive measures were or will be completed.

Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter with enclosure and your reply, together with the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the Commission's Public Document Room.

If this report contains 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 informa-tion 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 r.ot hear from you in this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.

Sincerely,
