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."

k

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).

C. 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

• 1343number.

serial and =6141 both had no documentation of a calibration standard

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. The WR-12 carbon

determinator

/85-01-06). is used to determine material carbon and sulfur content

4. 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

with Quality Assurance of these

Operating thermometers

Procedure 3-1." will be in accordance

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. Dresser's Part 21 evaluation and reporting procedure no. 003.00

para. 3.2 dated 03/28/84 states in part, "An investigation will te

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).
