The bottom half of the tag is attached to the Quality Control copy of the Non-Conformity Report."

QCR 4406-4, Paragraph 4.0 states, "The Non-conformity Report number shall be noted on the Hold tag and the Hold tag number shall be noted on the Non-Conformity report."

Contrary to the above, a review of four (4) recent non-conformity reports (NCR) and thei.r associated hold tags revealed that, in two (2) cases, hold tag numbers were not noted on the NCRs and the NCR numbers were not noted on the hold tags.

These measures shall include provisions to assure that appropriate quality standards are specified and included in design documents...."

QA Manual Section 4, paragraph 4.3.1 states, "The Nuclear Product Manager, the Quality Control Manager, and the Manager of Product Engineering shall correctly translate customer and code require-ments on the engineering order form based on information from customers purchase order and owner's design specification." Paragraph 4.3.2 states in part, " Quality Control Manager shall transmit quality requirements to Engineering for incorporation into Engineering design documents...."

These identification and control measures shall be designed to prevent the use of incorrect or defective material, parts, and components."

material in the hold area is tagged with a red Nuclear Part Tag.

When material is assigned to a specific job, the red Nuclear Part Tag is replaced with a green iluclear Part Tag which stays with the t

l material until released for manufacture."

Contrary to the above, more than 100 pieces of bar stock, pipe and plate out of about 250 pieces of acceptable material in the hold area were not tagged with a red or green Nuclear Part Tag.

F.

Criterion VIII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part, " Measures shall be established for the identification and control of materials, parts, and components....

These measures shall assure that identification of the item is maintained... either on the item or on records traceable to the item...."

It is the responsibility of Quality Control to review the nuclear process sheet, and... After all requirements of traceability and compliance to the purchase order have been satis-fied, Quality Control will release the nuclear process sheet and material for manufacture...."

Contrary to the above, a documentation review of eighteen (18), in-process, Stuffing Box Flanges for order number N770459, revealed that the Bill-of-Material and purchase order required the material to be SA-182 type F304 2-76, and the vendor material certifications sub-stantiated this.

However, the approved nuclear process sheet accompanying the parts, stated that the material is SA-240 type 304, which is not in compliance with the Bill-of-Material and purchase order.
