January 23, 1986 Docket No. 99901031/85-01 Westinghouse Electric Corp.
Nuclear Services Integration Division ATTN:
T. A. Christopher General Manager, NSID Post Office Box 2728 Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15230-2728 Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. R. P. Correia of this office on October 7-9, 1985, of your facility in Murrysville, PA and to the discussions of our findings with J. Jelovich and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to evaluate Westinghouse's quality assurance and engineering activities related to the design, procurement, manufacturing, inspection and testing of 4160/480 volt transformers procured by the Omaha Public Power District for the Ft. Calhoun station. Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements. The findings demonstrate a weakness by Westinghouse in the implementation of its quality assurance program in the areas of design control, purchased material, and equipment. Specifically, a lack of documentation on the inputs by various participating Westinghouse groups for the selection and evaluation of materials used in the transformers and on objective evidence of quality furnished by the manufacturer of the transformers.
The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
Please provide us within 30 days from the date of this letter a written statement containing:
(1) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to correct these programmatic items; (2) an assessment of the safety significance of any deviations found and to assure that the components meet applicable reouirements; (3) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence; and (4) the dates your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
The response requested by this letter is not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
