SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99901307/96-01
Dear Ms. Harvey:
On October 4, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection of Westinghouse Energy Systems Business Unit (ESBU) facilities in Monroeville and Cheswick, Pennsylvania. The enclosed inspection report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection reviewed the implementation of your quality assurance program in supplying safety-related equipment, software, and services to NRC-licensed facilities, and reviewed your program (and its implementation) established pursuant to Part 21, " Reporting Defects and Noncompliance," of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reaulations (10 CFR Part 21).
During this inspection, the NRC inspector found that one of your activities appeared to be in violation of NRC requirements. Specifically, your system of procedures adopted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21 contained minor weaknesses and inconsistencies, that, taken in the aggregate, may render them inadequate to meet the requirements of 621.21(a) of 10 CFR Part 21. In accordance with the NRC Enforcement Policy as promulgated in NUREG-1600,.this is considered a minor violation and therefore, no Notice of Violation will be issued.
Although the NRC expects that ESBU will take prompt and appropriate corrective action, no response to this item is required.
The NRC inspector found no instances in which ESBU failed to comply with other requirements of 10 CFR Part 21. However, one unresolved item was identified involving Corrective Action Reports of the ESBU Process Control Division. The question of adequacy of the justification for closeout of the reports and hence, the potential existence of deviations or failures to comply requiring evaluation in accordance with 10 CFR Part 21 remained unresolved at the end of the inspection. You are requested to respond to the unresolved item identified in Section 3.1.b.3 of the enclosed report.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room (PDR).
