Westinghouse Electric Corporation Docket No. 99900005/81-02 s
NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on May 4-7, 1981, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements.
Section 5 of the Westinghouse, Nuclear Fuel Division, Quality Assurance Program Plan, WCAP-7800, Revision 5A, states in part:
"Throughout the design, manufacturing, and inspection phases, the activities and operations effecting the quality of the fuel assem-blies and core components are controlled through the use of approved drawings, specifications, instructions, and procedures."
Nonconformances with these requirements are as follows:
A.
Operating Procedure, 711001, Plate Strap, Section, Plate Strap, Part 01, required plating voltage to be 2.0 to 4.0 volts.
Contrary to the above, a plating voltage of 4.3 volts was observed in use in the plating room on May 6, 1981.
B.
Quality Assurance Program Plan, WCAP-8700, Revision SA, Section 5, states in part:
" Drawings, specifications, instructions, and procedures define appropriate acceptance criteria for materials, parts, and assemblies and applicable parametric limits for processes and test methods, with respect to dimensions, tolerances, operating limits, and quality standards."
Contrary to the above, the Quality Control Instruction QLI-934001 and Operating Procedure OP-711001, did not have the appropriate acceptance criteria and applicable parametric limits as defined by the Process Specification 595221.
(See Details Section, paragraph B.3.c.)
C.
The Quality Control Manual, QCOP-9.1, Revision 5, identifies the heat treatment of top nozzle springs as a special process to be qualified.
Contrary to the above, there was insufficient documentation available to show that the procedure currently used had been qualified.

D.
Quality Control Instruction, Tool and Gage Control, OCI-000140, Revision 9, requires Maintenance Calibration to have the dates of calibration on card files.
Contrary to the above, one of the two Maintenance Calibration cards inspected failed to record a calibration that was performed on October 22, 1980.
It was also noted that the last entry on the card file was misdated.
The card file in question was for a Tore Gage used on the helium leak detector, Unit B.
The card in question was corrected before the end of this inspection.
