FIFTH INTERIM REPORT -

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 l implications associated with a breakdown in the quality system at the j source inspection level.

l Interim Progress l

TVA has conducted an inspection of equipment and material purchased on '

i approximately 200 contracts and major purchase orders to determine the cause or reason the defects were not. discovered by source inspection and

t. appropriate corrective actions. TVA is evaluating the results of this i inspection and will submit the results of this evaluation in our next report.
