SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99900264/96-01 AND NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE
Dear Mr. Bond:
On September 26, 1996, the U.S. Nuclear. Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Dragon Valves, Inc., (Dragon) facility.
The enclosed report presents the results of that inspection.
The NRC inspectors found that the implementation of the Dragon quality assurance program failed to meet certain NRC requirements imposed on Dragon by its customers.
Specifically, the procedures for upgrading unqualified source material neere not controlled and did not comply with the applicable ASME Code requirements, Dragon had accepted material certifications without the required quality system program statements, the procedure for dedicating customer defined safety-related components did not provide a basis for the specified chemical sampling plan, and Dragon had not documented any actions for a i
significant condition adverse to quality, as required by 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
These nonconformances are cited in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance (NON), and the circumstances surrounding them are described in detail in the enclosed report.
You are requested to respond to the nonconformances and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed NON when preparing your response.
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).
Sincerely, Robert it. Gallo, Chief jf Special Inspection Branch Division of Inspection and Support Programs 6.
