Action on Previous Inscection Findings (Closed) Deviation (Report No. 80-02):
Nonconforming channels were not segerated and the Inspection Reports were not attached.
P&P 70-37 has been revised to ba accurate in the description of current practices.
An inspec-tion of the channels, plugs, spacers, and tubing in the FC0 building, identified no additional proble:ns.
(Closed) Open Item (Report No. 80-02):
General Electric was to fully document its justification on control of the chemistry requirements via visual standards on welded zirconium.
Quality Notice F-5-123, Revision 1 has been issued which addresses the above justification.
A review of the Quality Notice identified no further problem in this area.

Findings a.
Nonconformance Material Requisition PS1215 was issued on February 1979.
The applicable Engineering Instructions was EI 120-3178 Revision 0, dated August 26, 1976.
This EI was referenced on the Material Requisition.
The Purchase Order which resulted from this Material Requisition, required the vendor to comply with the Summer 1977 Code.
The edition and addendum required by the Engineering Instruction was the Summer 1976.
The incorrect translation of the applicable edition and addendum is considered to be a nonconformance, however, there is no technical difference for the material procured between Summer 1976 and Summer 1977.
Inspection Report RB681 was issued at the end of this inspection to document this particular nonconformance.
Inspection Report RB681 was accepted by Design Engineering which is the corrective action on this nonconformance.
No response to the nonconformance in the area of corrective action is necessary.
(See Notice of Nonconformance).
b.
Unresolved Items None.
c.
Followuo Item Engineering Instructions, EI-120-3178, Revision G, had a hand-written note dated September 1979, identifying the edition and addendum to be used for a foreign project.
A follow up revision was to be issued to confirm this information.
This follow up revision has yet to be issued.
The modification of Engineering Instructions will be reviewed in detail during the next inspection.
