-a AFC0 Steel ATTN; J. W. Brown Executive Vice President P. O. Box 231 Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 Gentlemen:
j This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. Ross L. Brown of this office on July 10 and 11, 1980, of your facility at Little Rock, Arkansas, associated with the fabrication of structural steel and miscellaneous steel fabrication and to the discussions of our findings with Mr. R. B. Nelson and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspectim was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA Program is being affectively implemented. The inspection effort is not designed to assure that uniqae 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 Nhc 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 to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
j Since corrective and preventative actions were taken and verified before the conclusion of this inspection, no further writton response is necessary.
