March 13, 1966 Docket No. 99901038/85-01 3M Company Ceramic Materials Department ATTN: Mr. Joseph T. Bailey Department Manager 225-4N-07 3M Center Saint Paul, Minnesota 55144-1000 Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. J. J. Petrosino of this office on November 20-22, 1985, of your facility at Saint Paul, Minnesota and to the discussions of our findings with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
The purpose of this inspection was to review the circumstances surrounding the electrical cable ampacity de-rating information which 3M recently supplied to the Omaha Public Power District, and to evaluate the implementation of your quality assurance program. Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
During the inspection, it was found that the implementation of your QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements. Our inspectors identified three nonconformances concerning, the QA Manager's lack of independence from production, lack of a QA program indoctrinatior for 3M personnsi, and a lack of documented procedures to control a 3M computer code program which is used for nuclear power station applications.
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. Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
The response requested by this letter is not subject to the clearance procedures of the Office of Management and Budget as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980, PL 96-511.
