OTHER FINDINGS OR COMMENTS:
1.
Management Meeting - The purpose, scope, and nature of the Licensee Contractor and Vendor Inspection Program were reviewed with the President of NPSI and key management personnel at the beginning of the inspection.
The concerns expressed to NRC with respect to possible errors and deficiencies in the design of component supports for the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES) were outlined and the basis for the inspection enumerated.
The format, content, dissemination, and publication of NRC inspection reports, and NPSI responses, thereto, were discussed in detail.
2.
10 CFR Part 21 Inspection - NPSI 10 CFR Part 21 implementing procedures NPSI/NRC-01 (Reportable Defects and Noncompliance - Nuclear Projects) and NPSI/NRC-02 (Procurement Documents - Compliance with 10 CFR Part 21) were reviewed for congruency with 10 CFR Part 21 Regulations.
Two processed safety concern files and twenty purchase orders, and changes thereto, were examined to verify implementation.
Two violations were identified in this area of the inspection.
See A above.

SECAUCUS, NEW JERSEY REPORT INSPECTION NO.:
99900763/81-01 RESULTS:
PAGE 3 of 4 With respect to Violation A.1, corrective action was taken during the inspection in that the posted copy of 10 CFR Part 21, dated June 7, 1977, was replaced with the current version, dated July 24, 1981.
With respect to Violation A.2, procurement documents for basic components issued after August 8, 1980, specify that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 apply, where applicable.
Furthermore, change notices specifying that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 apply have been issued for a few, but not the majority of the purchase orders for basic components that were issued from January 6, 1978, to August 8, 1980.
Except as noted herein, the committed program was being implemented in the areas examined.
3.
Special inspection to determine the safety significance of concerns expressed to the NRC that possible errors and deficiencies in the design of component supports could result in failure of the supports at the Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station (CPSES), Units 1 and 2.
Review of available documentation, and interviews with cognizant personnel, indicate that NPSI was contracted by Texas Utilities Generating Company (TUGCO), via TUGC0 purchase order CP-0046A.1, dated January 16, 1978, to design, fabricate, and deliver hangers and supports and to provide associated engineering services, to CPSES, Units 1 and 2.
All safety-related hangers and supports were to be designed and fabricated in accordance with Gibbs and Hill Inc., (G&H), speci,fication 2323-MS-46A.
Non-safety related hangers and supports were to be provided under a separate TUGC0 purchase order and G&H specification.
NPSI subcontracted the detailed design and analysis of both safety and nonsafety-related hangers and supports to Nuclear Power Services, Inc.
(NPS), a separate entity of the NPS Corporation, via NPSI purchase order 30-086, dated September 11, 1978.
All final design drawings were to be generated by NPS using NPSI identification and logo on the drawings.
Sufficient documents were not available at the NPSI facilities to permit the inspectors to determine if errors and deficiencies did in fact exist in final design documents, their cause, the extent of their proliferation into drawings that have been issued for construction, and their safety significance.
NPS was therefore inspected in concert with NPJI and the results are reported in NRC inspection report 99900531/81-01.
The inspector noted, at the joint NPSI/NPS exit meeting held in the NPS facilities en November 20, 1981, that a substantial number of significant deficiencies 1
exist in the NPS program for personnel qualification, design control, and quality assurance.
Most of the deficiencies existed since 1979

One nonconformance was identified in this area of the. inspection.
See 8 above.
With respect to the nonconformance, corrective action was initiated during the inspection in that a duplicate set of the identified training records was generated and stored in a separate record storage facility.
Except as noted herein, the committed program was being implemented in the areas examined.
