B.
Actions on Previous Inspection Findings 1.
(Closed) Deviation (Notice of Deviation Item A, Report No. 79-01):
Welding was not being performed within the amperage range of the applicable welding procedure specification.
The inspector verified by records examination, that training had been conducted relative to the importance of following.the requirements of the. applicable WPS. Observation of shop welding of three (3) different processes did not reveal a similar discrepancy.
2.
(Closed) Deviation (Notice of Deviation Item B, Report No. 79-01):
Travel speed.was not listed on the PQR for the FCA weld process in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Code.
The inspector verified that the PQR in question had been revised as committed and that additional training for concerned personnel was conducted on January 25, 1980.
However, as a result of a review of WPS to verify corrective action, an additional deviation from commitments was identified. See Katice of Deviation.

(Closed) Deviation (Notice of Deviation, Item C, Report No. 79-01):
Welder performance qualification record did not reflect qualification of the welder for the process used for production welds.
The inspector verified that the records of qualification of the welder cited had been revised to reflect the correct welding process.
The current welder performance qualification records had been reviewed for accuracy and completeness'as committed.
A random selected review of five welder qualification records did not reveal a similar discrepancy.
