C.
Action on Previous Insoection Findings 1.
(Closed) Deviation (Item A, Notice of Deviation, Inspection Report No. 99900321-80-01):
It was verified that the tool in question was not used for Nuclear Construction and, the technician is now required to send a memo to the QA Manager when tools cannot be readily located.
2.
(Closed) Deviation (Item B, Notice of Deviation, Inspection Report No. 99900321-80-01):
It was verified that a serial number log was developed that included a completa inventory of all tools in the tool and gage room.
The log was finalized and implemented as of September 22, 1980.
D.
Authorized Nuclear Insoector (ANI) Interface 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to ascertain whether procedures had been preparco and approved, which describe the system to be implemented fci-tne achievement of interface activities with the ANI, and that the identified activities are consistent with the NRC rules, Code requirements, and the QA Pro-gram commitments.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished
- folicws
a.
Review of Section 16.0 of the ASME accepted QA manual to ascertain whether the system provides for interface with the l
1 4
ANI and/or the Authorized Inspection Agency (AIA) to review the Design Specification (05), and provide the inspection services, required by code, of all code items covered by the customer's order and 05.
b.
Review of seven rejection tags to verify that the ANI is notified of all rejection or scrap items as indicated on Nonconforming Material Report Tag, where the ANI previously participated in acceptance of quality actions.
Also, to verify that Material Review Board Report indicating its recommended corrective actions are made available for review by the ANI and the review documented.
Review of three design change notices to verify that changes in the customer's design specifications (05) are reviewed with the ANI to inform him of the status of the inspections and tests of the items when it is removed from the manufacturing process.
c.
Review of the ANI's Daily Log Book to verify that he identifies his review of the 05, drawings, QC checklists, weld procedures and qualification records of welders and NDE personnel.
- Also, that he witnesses all required hydrostatic. tests.
3.
Inscection Findings a.
The Authorized Inspection Agency is the State of California witn an ANI provided four hours per day.
b.
The ANI activities as documented in his bound log book, and by documents reviewed, supports the finding that the vencor is properly implementing its interface responsibilities with the ANI in a manner consistent with the NRC rules, Code require-ments and its QA program commitments.
E.
Manufacturing Process Controls 1.
Objectives The objectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that the vendor's manufacturing processes were performed under a con-trolled system which meets the NRC rules and regulations, ASME Code requirements, the vendor's commitments in his ASME acceptec Quality Assurance Program, and contract requirements.
2.
Method of Accomolishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:
5 a.
Review of the ASME accepted Quality Assurance Manual, Section 6.0 titled " Manufacturing Control" to verify that the control system requires shop travelers or process control check lists to be prepared which identifies the document numbers and revi-sions to which the process must conform.
Also to verify that all processes and tests are to be performed by qualified per-sonnel using qualified procedures.
b.
Review of Operation Travelers (OT), 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 test 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, c.
Review selected OT's 2-157 and 2-158 to verify their compliance with the above referenced procedures, and the overall QA Program documentations requirements, including mandatory hold points established by the Authorized Nuclear Inspector.
d.

f.
Observation of liquid penetrant test of pipe stop No. 7-050311, S/N nine in accordance with AWS 01.1.
6 g.
Review of radiographs for welds one and two of Type I penetration in accordance with procedure 8-530268, revision two and supple-ment three.
h.
Observed welding of pipe step No. 7050311-3 in accordance wit 5 AWS 01.1.
3.
Inspection Findings s
Within the area inspected there were no nonconformances or unresolved items identified.
F.
Nonconformance and Corrective Action Controls 1.
Objectives The oojectives of this area of the inspection were to verify that:
a.
Procedures had been developed and approved by the vendor that prescribes a system for control of nonconformances and assures effective corrective action in a manner consistent with NRC rules and regulation, ASME Code requirements, and the vendor's commitments 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 Accomolishment The objectives of this area of the inspection were accomplished by:
a.
Review of Section 12.0 of the ASME accepted QA manual to verify that the vendor had established a procedures system for identi-fying, reporting, disposition, preventive actions for noncon-formances.
