SACM Diesel Docket No. 99901173/89-01 1, rue de la Fonderie
_68054 Mulhouse Ft :w APPENDIX A NOTICE OF HONCONFORMANCE During an NRC inspection conducted on October 2-3, 1989, the implementation of' the Quality Assurance program at SACM Diesel, Mulhouse, France was reviewed in selected areas with respect to the supply of diesel emergency generating sets for Prairie Island Nuclear. Generating Plant. Based on the results of this inspection, it appears that certain activities at SACM were not conducted-in accordance with Appendix B of 10 CFR 50 which was imposed on SACM by contract and committed to in SACM's Quality Assurance Manaual.
The specific findings are listed below:
1.
Criterion VII of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B states in part that:
" Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material, equipment and
-services... conform to the procurement documents.
These measures shall include provisions, as appropriate for source evaluation and selection...."
Contrary to the above SACM had issued purchase orders to Societe Compair Luchard for air start system components and to CIAT for lube oil heat exchangers without assurance that these vendors were capable of manufacturing products in conformance with the procurement documents. Specifically, at the time of procurement, neither Societe-Compair Luchard nor CIAT had ASME accrediation to manufacture and stampvesselsinaccordancewithASMECode,SectionVIII(purchase requirement). Additionally CIAT did not have an SACM approved QA manual and was not a qualified vendor.
(89-01-01) 2.
Criterion 111 of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B states in part that:
" Measures shall be established to assure that... design basis...are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures and instructions...."
Contrary to the above, the Quality Plan for'1ube oil heat exchangers did not clearly specify that welding was to conform with Section IX of the ASME Code as required by the technical specification for this equipment. This apparently resulted in SACM approving vendor-submitted welding (89-01-02) procedures which did not comply with Section IX of the ASME Code.
3.
Criterion VII of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B states in part that:
" Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material, equipnent... conform to the procurement documents..." and that "..The effectiveness of the control of quality by contractors and subcontractors shall be assessed...at intervals consistent with the importance, complexity and quantity of the product or service."
