SECOND INTERIM REPORT

~

Description of Deficiency Vendor audit 83V-66 was conducted at Atwood and Morrill Company, Salem, Massachusetts, during the period of August 8-11, 1983 As a result of this audit, deviation 83V-66-2 was initiated which identified the lack of adequate quality assurance requirements imposed on purchase orders for the manufacture of class 1E solenoid valves and air-operated valve actuators. TVA contract No.

82K21-830319, Appendix B, " Quality Assurance Requirements for ASME Section III Valves, requires ANSI N45.2, " Quality Assurance Program Requirements," to be imposed on the valve actuator manufacturer. No objective evidence was available to indicate that the purchase and manufacture of air operators were in accordance with contract requirements.

Interim Progress 4

The contractor submitted his proposed corrective actions for this deviation on December 7,1983, and it has been reviewed and accepted by TVA's Office of Quality Assurance, Design Quality Assurance Branch.

Corrective actions proposed include an audit of Xomox Corporation, Tufline Division, Cincinnati, Ohio and additional inspections and

~

tests to be performed by Atwood and Morrill Company on the completed actuators to verify conformance to specification requirements. These tests will be documented and witnessed as required by TVA's Division

(

of Engineering Design, Quality Engineering Branch (QEB). The release of the valves is subject to acceptable TVA inspection results.
