1 Bailey Controls Company Docket No. 99900224/81-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on May 4-8, 1981, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in ar.cordance with NRC requirements as indicated below:
Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states:
" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accomplished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Nonconformances with these requirements are as follows:
A.
The policy paragraph of the Babcock and Wilcox (Bailey Controls Company is a Division of The Babcock and Wilcox Company) Administrative Policies and Procedures No. 1208-A5, dated March 28, 1978, states in part, "Purchas-ing will comply with and support the efforts of the Company program assuring compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21 by..
reporting to appropriate individuals within the company and vendor notification of defects or deficiencies." The document further requires that Division Purchasing Managers: " establish and implement appropriate procedures to...." (a) " assure that the appropriate division personnel are promptly advised of a supplier's notification of a deviation that requires evalu-ation by the Company," and (b) " assure that the appropriata division personnel are advised of any defect reported by the supplier to the NRC when such knowledge is received."
Contrary to the above, the Division Purchasing Manager had not estab-lished and implemented a procedure to assure that appropriate division personnel are:
(1) promptly advised of a supplier's notification of a deviation that requires evaluation by the Company, and (2) advised of any defect reported by the supplier to the NRC when such knowledge is received.
B.
Paragraph 1.2 of Bailey Meter Company Administrative Procedure No. 1759, Revision A, dated February 15, 1978, identifies soldering as a special manufacturing process.
Paragraph 1.3 states in part, "Special manufacturing
... processes shall be controlled by written procedures that prescribe the methods, equipment, and personnel capabilities and qualification requirements."

Bailey Controls Company 2
Docket No. 99900224/81-01 Contrary to the above, a procedure had not been written to prescribe the methods, equipment, personnel capabilities and qualification require-ments for control of the special manufacturing process of soldering which was being performed in the Systems Assembly and Wiring Area.
I C.
Paragraph 3.4.1 of Quality Instruction No. 1764-01-01, dated July 1, 1975, required that the inspector apply the inspection stamp "in a legible manner" and " stamp appropriate paperwork whenever product stamping is not permitted."
Note: The referenced document had been superseded; however, current instructions / procedures contain the same requirement.
Contrary to the above, review of the accepted Essential Control Instru-mentation System Data Package for Bellefonte, Unit 1, Bailey Meter Job No. 5198P2010, revealed that:
a.
Two defects bore no inspection stamps in the "Insp. OK" column of j
the Audit No. 1 Repair Lict dated March 17, 1978.
The defects i
were identified as:
(1) " Hole in solder" (Cao. No. 3, Row 8, Position 8-17); and (2) "Tourk (sic) all screws."
b.
Inspection stamps had not been applied in a legible manner for two defects noted in the Audit No. 1 Repair List dated March 18, 1978, inasmuch as the stamp numbers had been obliterated by what appeared to be a lead pencil.
The defects were identified as:
(1) " Cold Sold (solder)" (Cab. No. ', Row 8, Position 7-17); and (2) " Pins bented (sic)" (Cab. No. 3, Row 9, Position 52 to 54).
D.
Paragraph 2.5 of Bailey Meter Company Administrative Procedure No. 1768-01 Revision D, dated April 21, 1981, states that the " Audit Coordinator Publishers (sic) and distributes a summary of audits on a monthly basis and after each audit is completed, publishes a formal consolidated audit report to the Executive Staff."
Contrary to the above, audit summaries had not been issued on a monthly basis since 1979.
