The purpose of the inspection was to review operational, quality assurance, and environmental qualification issues concerning Limitorque's supply of motor actuators and parts to the nuclear industry. Additionally, a limited review of Limitorque's quality assurance program was conducted. Areas examined during the NRC inspection and 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.
In general, a noticeable improvement was observed in your quality assurance program cad in your program for evaluating and reporting of defects. However, some deficiencies still exist in these areas.
Specifically, deficiencies concerning a lack of subvendor control for your purchase of shaft keys and terminal blocks, and for your failure to fully evaluate customer reported problems were noted during this inspection.
The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance and inspection report.
