APPENDIX B
Dresser Industries, Inc.
Docket No. 99900876 85-01
NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE
'
Based on the results of an NAC inspection conducted on Septerrber 30-
October 4,1985, it appears that certain of your activities were not
conducted in accordance with NRC requirements.
A.
Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states in part,
" Measures shall be established to assure that purchased material,
equipment, and services, whether purchased directly or through
contractors and subcontractors, conform to the procurement documents.
These measures shall include provisions, as appropriate, for source ,
evaluation and selection...and examination of products upon delivery.
'
Documentary evidence that material and equipment conform to the
procurement reouirements...The effectiveness of the control of
quality by contractors and subcontractors shall be assessed by the
applicant or designee at intervals consistent with the importance,
complexity, and quantity of the product or services."

The Dresser Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) section 6, paragraph no. 6.1 states in
part, "It is the responsibility of the assigned Product Engineer and
Quality Assurance Engineer to ensure the correctness of... specifications
regarding material arid subcontracted services purchased for nuclear
components...Information on the Material Requisition includes reference
to Vendor Quality Control Program Requirements (QCPR-1) which outline the
system vendors must adhere to...and requires that the vendor uses the
Quality Program accepted...by Dresser survey...."
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, Dresser obtained calibration
services and certification of furnace thermocouples from unapproved
vendors (8541-02).
'
B.
Quality Control Instruction, Technical (OTI) - 13, Paragraph 3.6, states,
in part, "Upon receipt (weld material), all weld material will be checke.d
by receiving personnel to varify purchase order requirements and the
condition of the material (properly sealed cans, identification numbers,
material type ordered, quantity, etc.), unacceptable cans will be
segregated..."
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, four containers of type 7018
nuclear welding rods, lot 3c504Y0Z, heat a76175, were not stamped (or
verified) by the receiving inspection personnel (85-01-03).

Criterion XII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states:
" Measures shall be
established to assure that tools, gages, instruments, and other measuring
and testing devices used in activities affecting ouality are properly
controlled, calibrated, and adjusted at specified periods to maintain
accuracy within necessary limits."
The following nonconfornances were identified in this area:
1.
Procedure QTI-33 " Requirements and Procedures for Charpy V-Notch
Impact Testing of Nuclear Materials" paragraph 9.0.b states, in
part:
"Charpy V-Notch impact test machines shall be calibrated
and the results and records to meet the requirements of ASME code,
section III paragraphs NA-4610 and NA-4900. The calibrations shall
be perfarned at least once in each six-month interval using methods
outlined in ASTM E-23..."
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, there was no objective
evidence that calibration of the Charpy V-Notch impact testing machine
has been performed once in each six-month interval during the last
five years (85-01-04).
2.
Procedure QTI-76 " Calibration and Certification of Torque Devices",
paragraph 2.1 " Method of Certification" states:
"The torque wrench or
device is checked using a load cell and readout device as the standard
for measurement. Check the torque devices at each 20% of range.
Tolerances are 5% of full scale reading."
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, calibration certifications
- 1343 and =6141 both had no documentation of a calibration standard
serial number.
Certification #1343 indicated calibration to 50%
tolerance of full scale reading instead of the specified 5%
(85-01-05).
3.
QAM section 12, paragraph no. 5.1 states, in part:
" Metrology control
is attained through the rnutine recalibration and inspection at
predetermined intervals, of all measuring instruments used for the
measurement of production items.
The recalibration and certification
is traceable to national standards, when such standards exist.
In
cases when national standards do not exist, equipment manufacturer's
recommended standards shall be used..."
.
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, there was no objective
evidence that calibration for the WR-12 carbon determinator (models
761-100 and 761-200 (BCD)\\ is traceable to national standards or
equipment manufacturer's recommended standards.
determinator is used to determine material carbon and sulfur content
/85-01-06).

OTI-1J paragraph 3.10 states "All nuclear weld material ovens will be
'
equipped with bi-metal thermometers allowing continuous regulation of the
tempera ture.
The calibration of these thermometers will be in accordance
with Quality Assurance Operating Procedure 3-1."
Contrary to the above, as of October 4,1985, there was no objective
evidence that calibration of the nuclear welding rod nven bi-metal
thermeneters (TG-2, TG 4, TG-6, TG-8, TG-11, TG-20, TG-21) was
carried out in accordance with the Quality Assurance Operating
Procedure 3-1 (85-01-07).
D.

para. 3.2 dated 03/28/84 states in part, "An investigation will te
made in order to identify the circumstances and valve products
involved. All pertinent data rill be recorded, listing identifying
nur.bert, valve types, order numbers, documents involved, shipping
dates..."
Contrary to the above, Dresser's Part 21 file no. 85-01 did not
identify / list the required pertinent data (85-01-08).
