c.
Specification No. 14074-PE-306, Rev. 04, Project Specification i
for Compo ent Cooling Water Heat Exchangers and Project Quality L
3 Assurance Administration Specification No. 14074/14174 WQC-11.1-TVA, Rev. O date May 23, 1977.
d.
QA reccrd files for contracts noted in B.2.b. and c.
3.
Finding Section 7 of the QAM assigns the responsibility for preparing a a.
checklist for permanent record file that includes the records specified by JOC and customer requirements.
The QAM also requires temporary records which serve to verify compliance with the requirements of the JOC quality program and customers specification be maintained for a minimum of five years.
4 b.
The customer documents identified in B.2.b and c specify the QA records required, method of identifying the documents, submittal schedule etc.
c.
The QA record files includes a checklist that conforms with the documents listed in the QAM and customers specifications.
The file documents (code data reports, CMTR, NDE reports, travelers, and applicable deviation and/or change requests) were complete legible, validated and traceable to the item (s) involved.
The file folder also contained temporary quality documents that are traceable to items in the assembly.
No deviations from commitment or unresolved items were identified.
D.
Weld Control 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
a.
The manufacturer has established procedures or instruction for preparation, qualification approval / certification distribution and revision of welding procedures specifications (WPS).
b.
The manufacturer has established procedures for qualification of welders and welding operators in accordance with Section IX of the ASME Code.
c.
The manufacturer has established procedures and instructions for purchasing, receiving, storing, disbursing and handling of welding materials including welding electrodes, filler material, consumable inserts, fluxes and gases.
4 d.
The work is conducted in accordance with a " traveler" or similar document which coordinates and sequences all operations, references procedures or instructions, establishes hold points and provides for production and QC signoffs.
e.
The special requirements governing special weld (tube to the tube sheets, cladding, special seals, hard surfacing and weld repairs without PWHT) procedures and performance qualifications which are imposed by the ASME code are specified and observed as applicable.
2.
