Fulton Syphongpivision Atta: Mr. I. O. Johnson Vice President and General Ma 2318 Kingston Pike S.W.

Knoxville, TN 37901 Gentlemen:

This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. William D. Kelley of this office on June 23-24, 1980, of your facility at Knoxville, Tennessee associated with the manufacture of ASME Code "N," Class 1, 2 and 3 valve and to the discussions of our findings with you and members of your staff at the con-clusion 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 provider' by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requa.res each of its licansees 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 licenses or his agents nor from taking effective cor-receive action in response to their findings.

Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection cons 10ted of an mmination 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 ed.osures to this letter.

The corrective action to our finding, and the necessary corrective action to prevent recurrence, were initiated prior to the termination of the inspection; and a response to the identified deviation is not required. The implementatiort of the corrective action will be verified during cur next inspection.
