Dr. A. D. Berk President 9201 Independence Avenue Chatsworth, California 91311 Gentlemen:
This refers to the reactive and QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. W. E. Foster of this office. on September 22-25, 1980, of your facility at Chatsworth, California, associated with the manufacture of electrical penetration assemblies and to the discussions of our findings with Mr. L. Stupay and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
i This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected, your QA l
Program and activities associated with reported problems are being effectively l
handled. 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 servi'ce provided by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requires each of its licensees 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 licensee or his agents nor from t
taking effective corrective action in response to their findings.
Areas e-amined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an enmination 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 tha. enclosed Notice of Violation j
and Notice of Deviation.
l Further instances of inadequate control of crimping practices have been identified during this inspection, as evidenced by items C and D in the Notice of Deviation, in addition to the previous discrepancies in this activity, which resulted in the furnishing of electrical penetration assemblies to the Midland, Callaway and Wolf Creek nuclear sites with loose cable lugs.
Accordingly, we are concerned about management failure to take necessary actions to assure appropriate control of this activity. You will additionally note that item A in tie Notice of Deviaticn is also related to management failure to assure compliance with committed actions concerning the finding identified in Inspection Report No. 80-01.
