A.
Paragraph 2.3 of Section 5.0, Revision B, of the QA Manual, Revision C dated May 1981, states in part, " Production Order Traveler... and drawings are controlled to ensure delivered items are fabricated, pro-cessed... and accepted tc no latest design configuration in effect."
Paragraph 2.2.1 and its subr;ragraph 2, states in part, " Production Order Traveler includes the... Production Router."
Contrary to the above, Production Order Travelers had not been controlled to ensure that delivered items are fabricated, processed, and accepted to the latest design configuration in effect; as evidenced by the following conditions noted on the Production Router for Part No. EA742-23701, Pro-duction Order No. C21187: (a) an unauthorized deletion on October 12, 1981, of an engineering requirement (Oper. No. Ol80-Impregnate and Water Test);
and (b) nonaccomplishment of a reaming operation (No. 0090), which had been discontinued for at least two years. Note: The last inspection operation of the Production Router had been stamped and dated.
B.
Paragraph 5.5 of NAMC0 Standard Practice No. 60-0007, reissue date August 1981, states in part, " Nuclear product inspection shall be con-trolled per Q.C.10-101." The latter document, dated October 1,1979, establishes sampling plans and procedures for inspection of " items used in Nuclear Applications."
It also states that inspection results must be recorded on specific forms identified in the document.
