Allegation:
a.
==
Introduction:==
On March 7, 1985, the NRC Region IV office received information by telephone with regard to potential deficiencies in the implementation of the Multi-Amp Services Company QA program in the area of audits.
Multi-Amp Services furnishes technical, metrology and training services to numerous nuclear power plants (NPP).
As a result of this allegation, an NRC inspection was performed on April 9-12, 1985, at the Multi-Amp Services' plant located in Dallas, Texas, b.
Findings:
The NRC inspectors performed an independent assess-ment of the telephonic allegation by means of discussions with the alleger, and review of the Multi-Amp Services' QA manual, procedures, audit records and internal memoranda. The alleger had indicated the problem started in April 1984 and consisted of not being allowed by corporate management to perform audits of Multi-Amp Services site technician's certification records located at the Calloway NPP and six other sites, and of Alnor Instruments. Alnor is a Multi-Amp Services' subsupplier of calibration service for certain instruments used at Calloway.
Discussions established that the alleger knows of no safety related problems at the other six NPPs, since audits had been performed where scheduled. An audit of Multi-Amp Services' site personnel certification records at Calloway was scheduled for January 1985, but was not performed until March 13, 1985.
During this audit, no problems were identified.
With regards to Alnor Instruments, the NRC inspectors verified that the December 1983 and 1984 annual audits had not been performed.
Alnor was subsequently audited by Multi-Amp services April 2, 1985, and no problems were identified.
Included in the allegation was a statement that three items of concern, referenced as allegations numbers 1, 2 and 10 in the NRC Inspection Report No. 99900539/83-01, were still true.
These allegations had been determined by the NRC in November 1983, as not having been substantiated.
These items included:
(a) Multi-Amp's QA had inadequate organizational freedon and independence; (b) there was inadequate separation between QA and corporate management, and (c) QA was not effective.
Review of the Multi-Amp Services' QA manual Section 1, Organiza-tion; the implementing procedure No. QAP-1, Revision B, and internal memoranda generated during 1984 and 1985, failed to identify any new objective evidence that would change the find-ings made by the NRC in 1983.

PAGE 4 of 4 In summary, this inspection substantiated the allegation in part, as it applied to the Alnor Instruments.
The safety related con-cerns relative to Calloway and six other NPPs were not substantiated.
The three allegations referenced in the 1983 NRC report were not substantiated.
In summary no safety related problems were identified.
