GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY ORGANIZATION: WILMINGTON MANUDCTURING DEPARTMENT WILMINGTON, NORTH CAROLINA REPORT NO.: 99900003/81-02 INSPECTION RESULTS:

PAGE 2 of 3 A.

VIOLATIONS:

None B.

NONCONFORMANCES:

Contrary to 07. Inspection Instruction 6.2.5.1, and Section 5 of the Topical Report, the fluorine, chlorine, carbon, and nitrogen samples used by the computer to calculate total impurities and boron equivalence were not always drawn from the same material as the metal impurity sample for gadolinium fuel.

C.

UNRESOLVED ITEMS:

Time did not permit verification that the material on Furnace Sheet 1573, which was suspected to have high hydrogen, was placed on hold in the Manufacttring Information and Control System (MICS) as required by pro-cedure P&P 70-34.

The material had been verified as acceptable and its status changed in the computer system (MICS).

Historical reconstruction of the previous status takes one or two days by the computer unit.

D.

STATUS OF PREVIOUS INSPECTION FINDINGS:

(0 pen) Nonconformance (81-01):

The applicable project code effectivity was not included in a material requisition ani its subsequent purchase order.

The translation of th? year and addenda requirements on equipment is currently under discussion with the ASME.

The details as to how the year and addenda are to be identified and subject to review and approval by the designer and customer is still undetermined.

General Electric will resolve this problem by its September 8-10, 1981, ASME survey.

E.

OTHER FINDIli3S OR COMMENTS:

1.

One pre'viously identified followuo item (81-01) was closed during this inspection.

Handwritten notes on Engineering Instructions (Els) were being used to identify changes to the year and addenda of the ASME code applicable to a project.

A review of a sample of 20 EIs found no further problem in this area.

2.

The isotopic and impurity sampling was verified ia gadolinium oxide fuel for conformance to procedures and specifications.

The enrich-ment identification systems, were verified a be in place.

A sample of eight fuel lots were traced.

As the Chem Lab analyzes material, results are fed into computer systems such as MICS, LMCS, and QATRACS and the acceptance status maintained in the computer system.

Acceptance of material in general is via a human operator and the computer.

PAGE 3 ct 3 control of hydrogen is handled similarly.

Loaded fuel rods are off gassed and sample results piaced in the computer system.

Two fuel rod lots that had been off gassed were reviewed.

The use of cali-brated equipment and conformance to the qualified procedure were verified.

3.

The identification and status of nine open Inspection Reports (irs) were verified on fuel bundles.

The dispositions, rework, repair, and approvals of four closed irs on fuel bundles was verified.

Thirteen irs on powder, pellets, rods, and other hardware were reviewed. The processing end storage areas were inspected to serify conformance to procedures ter control of nonconforming material.

The Material Review Board as.tivity was inspected.

The CAR correctt,a action system was inspected as well as the product performance data system for the past year.
