APPENDIX A Limitorque Corporation Docket No. 99900100/88-01 NOTICE Or NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on May 2-6; 1988, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordence with NRC.

requirements.

A. Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part: "Measures shall also be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials parts, equipment, and processes that are essen-tial to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components."

Contrary to the above, Limitorque has not established measures to ensure that shaf t keys and terminal blocks procured from comercial grade subvendors conform to the applicable design requirements. Specifically, measures were not established to ensure that shaft keys procured comercial grade are in fact made of type 1018 steel and that terminal blocks procured commercial grade are, in fact, the sitme as the ones previously tested and environmentally qualified. (88-01-01)

B. Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR art 50 states: "Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly icentified and corrected. In the case of significant conditions adverse to quality, the measures shall assure that the cause of the condition is determined and corrective action taken to preclude repetition. The identification of the significant condition adverse to quality, the cause of the condition, and the corrective action taken shall be documented and reported to appropriate levels of management."

Contrary to the above, measures have not been established to ensure that conditions aaverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected, nor have measures been established to ensure significant conditions adverse to quality are documented and reported to appropriate levels of management.

Specifically, failures attributed to defective shaft keys and to spring pack relaxation were not fully evaluated nor were they reported to appropriate levels of management. No system exists at Limitorque to ensure that defects reported via field service or customer problem reports are evaluated and resolved. (88-01-02) 8808150108 8803o3 00fg99 Ef1VL T
