April 15, 1988 Docket No. 99900735/88-01 fir. Thomas A. Goin, Vice President Quality Assurance Southern Bolt & Fastener Corporation Post Office Box 7196 Shreveport, Louisiana 71137-7196
Dear Mr. Goin:
This letter addresses the inspection of your facility in Shreveport, Louisiana r.onducted by Ms. C. Abbate and Mr. C. Czajkowski of this office on March 7-11, 1988, and the discussions of their findings with you and other members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The purpose of the inspection was to review Southern Bolt & Fastener's (SBF)
Quality Assurance (QA) program and its implementation. Areas examined during the NRC inspection ar.d our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. This inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors.
During this inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements. Those items identified include four instances of inadequate control of nonconfoming material, two instances of improper upgrading of stock material to ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel (BPV)
Code, Section Ill material per NCA-3867.4(e), and two instances of unevaluated vendors supplying material for ASME BPV Code Section 111 work. We feel that the lack of control over nonconfoming material and the improper upgrading of material indicates a quality assurance breakdown in these two areas. 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 items; (2) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence; and (3) the dates your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed. We will consider extending the response time if you can show good cause for us to do so.
