~
Enclosed are Nuclear Packaging, Inc.'s responses to the
~
nonconformances identified during the NRC inspection of N6 clear
-Packaging Inc.'s. Federal Way, Washington facility on April 25-27',
.1989.
In addition to 'the responses, corrective actions for each nonconformance detailed in your report (710192/89-01) are addressed including scheduled dates for implementation of those items which are in-process.
NONCONFORMANCE #
1-10 CFR 71.103 requires that the authorities and. duties of persons performing quality related functions be clearly established and delineated in writing.
The Technical Director's role in the review of nonconformances for SAR impact was.not described.
NONCONFORMANCE # 4 - 10 CFR 71.135 states that written records describing the activities af f ecting quality be maintained for three l
years - beyond the date when the licensee last engages in the k
ac tivity for which the GA Program was developed. The results of the review of the design modification changed against the SAR were not documented, j
s.'
NuPac' Resoonse - The Manager of Licensing / Analysis shall be i
responsible for reviewing all Quality Discrepancy Reports, Supplier Disposition Request and Corrective Action Reports to assess the impact of the nonconformance on the Safety Analysis Report. He shall initiate the required actions to reconcile those issues deemed to be significant. The Manager of L. i c en sing shall, by his signature on the discrepancy report, indicate that all licensing jf, and _ SAR considerations have been reviewed and no significant impact exists or if reconciliation is required, a plan is in place to reconcile the changes.

reporting and-reporting
-of potentially significant-deficiencies / defects. Additionally, the Quality Discrepancy Report-f orm _ will-be revised ' to designate a signature block for.the Technical Director. These actions will be completed during January, 1990.
NONCONFORMANCE # 2 - 10 CFR 71.37 (b) - requires that established codes ' and standards for use in packaging design, fabrication, assembly. testing,. maintenance and use be identified. Standards l
s and ' regulations concerning cleaning fluids used in the f abrication
- process _ari not specified.
NuPac~Resoonse - Nuclear Packaging procedure FS-01-(Specification for Machining:and Fabricating Equipment) has been revised, since the time of the inspection,.to specify acceptance levels of chlorides and. total halogens. for markers, tapes, compounds and cleaning - fluids _ used in the fabrication process. NuPac drawings and shop travelers. refer to FS-01 for these controls.
Corrective Action - The applicable pages of FS-01, revision 9,
-dated 8/18/89 ' are attached.
NuPac will monitor compliance-by per1ormance'of regular.ly scheduled internal audits.
NQNCONFORMANCE # 3 - 10 CFR 71.11S(b) requires documentation which i
shows that' material and equipment conforms to procurement specifications to be retained or to be available for the ' life _of the - package. Documentation of material and equipment suppliers was not available.

.NuPac Resoonse - Nuclear Packaging will revise its Standard Quality 1 Specification f orm, which accompanies purchase orders to suppliers, to require that certificates of compliance must identify the original manufacturer or the developer of the original certified material test report. The revised SOS form will also require that the supplier maintain the subject documentation in accordance with 10 CFR 71.115(b) or provide it to Nuclear Packaging, Inc. in the event that the company ceases to exist.
