Vendor Activities The Anchor / Darling Valve Company consists of fabricating facilities in Hayward, California (ADVH) and Williamsport, Pennsylvania, with Corporate Headqaarters located in Bala CYNWYD, Pennsylvania.
The Hayward facility (ADVH) is comprised of approximately 42,000 square feet under cover within a total area of 4.3 acres and is self contained in that all ASME required services such as design, welding, machining, hydrostatic testing, NDE, and heat treating are provided.
ADVH holds ASME Certifications N-1742(N) for Class 1, 2, & 3 valves and N-1743(NPT) for Class 1, 2, & 3 valves and appurtenances.
These certifi-cates expire on May 20, 1983. Principal products are 2.5" thru 5.4" gate, globe, and check valves with associated activators.
ADVH has supplied such products to most nuclear projects under construction and/or in opera-tion.
The current distribution of workload is nuclear - 80%, government - 10%
and comercial - 10%.
The National Board Inspection Agency is the Lwaberman's Mutual Casualty with one one (1) inspector on a full time basis.

Nonconformance and Corrective Action 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
Procedures had been developed and approved by the vendor that a.
prescribes a system for control of nonconformances and assuring effective corrective action in a manner consistent with NRC rules and regulation, ASME Code requirements, and the vendor's commit-ments in the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Program.
b.
The nonconformance and corrective action procedures are properly and effectively implemented by the vendor.
2.
Method of Accomplishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:
a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual, Section 4.0 titled " Quality Control" to verify that the vendor had established procedures that prescribed a system for identifying and reporting nonconformances and requires corrective action.
b.
Review of the following procedures:
(1) NQA-020, revision B titled " Material Certification Review."
(2) NQA-004, revision P titled " Tool and Gage Control."
to verify the system of nonconformance provides identification of inspection points, personnel responsible for identification, inspection method, acceptance criteria, personnel responsible for nonconformance and for resolution, segregation of item, and distribution of report.
c.
Review weld material records, MRB action reports, and observed nonconformances and corrective actions in process to verify
'i the system of corrective action procedures have been approved and are consistent with the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Program and identifies the responsibility for receipt and analysis of nonconformance reports, recommending corrective action, approving corrective action, and follow-up to assure corrective action is effective and precludes recurrence.
Also, verify the corrective action procedures provide for man-agement participation in nonconformance report and corrective action review.
4 d.
Review of fifteen (15) nonconformance reports to verify that the nonconformance and corrective action procedures were properly Laplemented in that the assigned responsibilities were carried out, the identification and reporting of nonconformances and the eval.uation and enacting of the corrective action was timely and effective, nonconforming items were properly disposed of, corrective action followup was effectively performed, management participation was active and effective.
e.
Interviews with personnel to verify they were aware of and had access to the nonconformance and corrective action procedures.
3.
Findings a.
The inspector verified that:

2.
Method of Accomplishment The preceding objectives were accomplished by:
a.
Review of Section 4.0 of the ASME accepted QA Manual, b.

(2) Verify that the system described in (1) above, has been adequately documented with approved procedures and that these procedures are being implemented.
b.
Objectives Accomplished by:
(1) Review of Section 4.0 of the ASME accepted QA Manual.
(2) Review of calibration master file.
(3) Review of identifying codes and tool recall system.
(4) Visual observation of calibrated tools and gages in all major
