Dear Mr. Goff:
SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99900707/91 1
This letter addresses the inspection of your facility at Tulsa, Oklahoma, conducted by Mr. R. N. Moist on November 5-6, 1991, and the discussions of the findings with Ms. Eva Moses, Quality Assurance Supervisor, on November 6, 1991.
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) conducted the inspection to follow up on a 10 CFR Part 21 notification from Virginia Electric & Power Company (VEPCO) regarding heat tracing material provided by Hevi-Duty / Nelson (Nelson).
This notification indicated that Nelson had not manufactured the safety-related material in accordance with the quality assurance (QA) requirements imposed in VEPCO's purchase orders.
Although Nelson no longer maintains a 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, QA program, nor provides safety-related material to NRC licensees, the inspection was performed to determine if Nelson had similarly supplied this safety-related material to other licensees during the same time frame.
The enclosed inspection report describes the areas examined during the NRC inspection and our findings.
This inspection consisted of an examination of records and interviews with personnel.
The inspection determined that the implementation of your QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements.
Speci-fically, Nelson provided heat tracing materials that did not meet the quality requirements for their customer's purchase orders with incorrect Certificates of Conformance.
The specific find-ings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
Although this failure was due to a significant inadequacy in your QA program, the inspection determined that VEPCO was the only 9302010027 930127 r[)
