None D.

The audit finding and the 1981 audit schedule that iuentifies the program element to be audited, date of audit, date audit findings were completed and reaudit, if applicable, verified conformance with the established requirements.
The qualification records for two auditors verified that the audits were performed by qualified auditors.
2.

(Closed) Unresolved Item K.3.b (79-01):
Procedure for inspecting and documenting code welding on a WDS had not been issued.
Work Procedure No. 9.3.5., Revision 1, was issued. and the weld data sheets verified proper preparation, use, review, and approval of the WDS in accordance with the work procedure.
E.
OTHER FINDINGS OR COMMENTS:
1.
Manufacturing Process Control - The QA Manual establishes the controls and requirements applicable to the manufacture of parts, appurtenances, piping subassemblies, and tubular products in compliance with the code, specification, and regulatory requirements.
Review of in-process and final documentation (WDSs, material tracer, and final inspection check lists) verified confonnance with the program requirements.
9 Change Control - NPS Industries, Inc., Austin, Texas, plant does shop detail work only (all design engineering functions are performed by others).
The QA Manual requires changes which effect the validity of the support design or manufacturing documents to be subjected to the same review and approval as the original.
Review of customer releases, change requests, manufacturing releases, and document control logs verified conformance with the program requi rements.
3.
Audits - The QA Manual establishes the requirements for a system of planned and periodic audits performed in accordance with an approved check list per an established schedule by qualified personnel.
The work procedure defines the method of conducting the internal audits.
Review of the audit schedule, audit finding sheets, audit check lists, and management audit report verified conformance with the program requirements (additional infonnation in Paragraph D.1).
4.
Control of Nonconformances and Corrective Action a.
The QA Manual establishes the requirements to identify and control nonconforming material and items to prevent their inadvertent use.
It also assigns the responsibilities for the identification, docu-mentation, disposition, and the review and approval of the noncon-formance.
r-ORGANIZATION: NPS INDUSTRIES, INC.
AUSTIN, TEXAS N NO.: 99900348/81-01 INSPECTION RESULTS:
PAGE 4 of 4 Review of the report log and three nonconformance reports verified compliance with the program requirements.
b.
QA Manual Section 16.0 establishes the requirement for identifying and reporting significant conditions adverse to quality. This requirement includes investigation and determina' ion of the cause of the condition, and the documentation of these activities.
Review of the CARS verified that adverse conditions are identified and reported, also that follow up action, to verify that the assigned corrective actions has been implemented, is being performed.
However, the CAR form did not provide a space to documrnt the assigned cause of the condition, therefore, the CARS or other documents related to adverse condition did not record the fact that the cause of the nonconformity had been determined (see para-graph B. for nonconformance).
