SIXTH INTERIM REFORT

! Description of Deficiency On four separate occasions between June and December 1980, employees of

. TVA's Division of Construction discovered defects in welds by visual '

examination after the subject material had been released from the _ vendor shop by TVA's source inspectors.

All of the four occasions were handled as individual nonconformance reports (NCR's). The specific safety implication of each NCR will be addressed in that manner. However, this NCR was written to address the generic implications associated with a breakdown in the quality system at the -

j source inspection level.

! Interim Progress

! TVA is continuing its evaluation of the results of the-inspection of I

equipment and caterial purchased on approximately 200 contracts and major purchase orders. The inspection was to determine the cause or reason the defects were not discovered by source inspection and to j -determine the appropriate corrective actions. Also, TVA is evaluating the potential generic implications of this deficiency to other TVA ,

plants.
