Vendor Activities - General The Energy Systems Group (ESG) is a division of the Rockwell International Inc. The primary product of ESG is hydrogen recombiners that remove the excess hydrogen and oxygen from containment structures of both boiling water and pressurized water cooled reactors.
ESG is a major suoplier of recombiners to the nuclear industry and consti-tutas approximately 65% of their current shop loading.
The ASG facility at Canoga Park, CA, holds ASME certificaticns N-2153 (N-Symbri) for construction of Section III, Divisicn I items and N-2154-1 (NA-Symbol) for Class 1, 2, and 3 and MC Ccmponent parts and appurtenances and component supports; Class 1, 2, and 3 piping subassemblies and Class CS Core support structures parts. These certificates axpire on June 16, 1981.
The ESG facility is canprised of approximately 540,000 square feet and staffed with 2,225 perscnnel. Other products and/or services provided to the nuclear industry'by ESG are:
1.
Inservice inspection systems for ASME Section XI preservice and inservice inspection of nuclear power plants.
- 2. -Remote handling equipment.
3.
Reactor pressure vessel materials surveillance services.
4.
Decontamination and deccmmissioning of nuclear facilities.
- 5. ' Equipment monitoring systems.
6.
Nuclear training program that includes specialized training for nuclear industry managers, engineers, technicians, and operators.

2.
Method of Accomolishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomolished by:
a i
. 2 a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual, Section 9, revision 4, titled, " Control of Construction Process" to verify that procedures had been established which prescribes a control system of the manufacturing processes.
b.
Review of the projects inspection plan to verify that control check lists, are prepared which identifies the document numbers and revisions to which the process must conform. Also to verify that all processes and tests are to be performed by qualified personnel using qualified procedures.
c.
Review of the shop traveler, or process control check lists, to verify that spaces are provided for reporting the results of specific operations, or reference to other documents where the results are maintained. Also that it includes space for the signoff by the vendor, indicating the date on which the operation or tests was performed, and space for signoff and date, by the authorized nuclear inspector, to document his acceptance of activities that he has selected as mandatory hold points.
- d. - Observed the following processes:
