On October 31, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your ABB-Combustion Engineering facility. The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
The inspection was conducted to ascertain s .ific attributes and implementation of your quality assurance p*ogram, and whether licensees effectively monitored your control of qua, y for safety-related ,
instrumentation and control (I&C) systems and associated spare parts purchased '
by licensees for nuclear power plants. We assessed your commercial-grade i
dedicatior: activities, screening of issues for Part 21 applicability, and your monitoring of the control of quality by your subvendors, i During this inspection, the NRC inspectors determined that the implementation of your quality assurance program did not meet certain NRC requirements i imposed on you by your customers. Specifically, you failed to implement ynur documented QA instructions to consider licensee findings concerning the l quality performance of your subvendor, as. required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
This nonconformance is cited in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance (NON),
and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the enclosed report. Please respond to the nonconformance and follow the instructions specified in the enclosed NON when preparing your response.
In addition, the inspectors determined that licensee monitoring of your quality assurance program for I&C systems and components was not always adequate. Licensees did not monitor your review of subvendor commercial-grade dedication activities and.your screening of issues for Part 21 applicability.
