APPENDIX A Babcock & Wilcox Company Nuclear Fuel Services Docket No.
99900001/83-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on' April 4-8, 1983, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance 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."
A.
Paragraph 2.6.1 of Section 15 in the Quality Assurance Manual, Revision 11, "Non-Conforming Materials, Parts, or Components," states, " Material and components which have been rejected shall be tagged [with a reject or hold-
. tag] by Inspection and placed on hold in a designated area."
Contrary to the above, six steam generator tube sleeves (Serial Nos. J-6-7-28, K-13-7-28, J-13-3-28, J-14-10-28. K-13-1-28, and H-12-1-36) were found in the store room with neither a reject nor a hold tag although Contract Variation Approval Requests Nos. SC-095 and SC-098 had rejected these
' sleeves.
B.
Paragraph 1.0.of.Section 14 in the Quality Assurance Manual, Revision ll,
" Inspection, Tests, and Operating Status," states, in part, " Route cards which list applicable manufacturing and inspection procedures shall be established to allow ready determination of the status of materials, parts, or assemblies throughout the production cycle."
Contrary to the above, one lot of guide tube upper nuts whose identity was unknown was found without a route card although this lot was at three different machining operations and locations within the shop. As a result, ready determination of the status.of the parts could not be accomplished.
