%,,,,, May 5, 1986 Docket No. 99900053/86-01 Anchor / Darling Valve Company ATTN: G. W. Knieser QA Manager 701 First Street Williamsport, Pennsylvania 17701 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of April 3,1986, in response to our letter dated February 25, 1986. As noted in our letter, Anchor / Darling (AD) was requested to describe steps that have been or will be taken to correct and prevent recurrence of the findings and the dates for completion of the corrective actions and preventive measures. We have reviewed your response and find that it does not adequately address the concerns raised in our Notice of Nonconformance. The following additional information is needed.
(86-01-02) - Since the " Upgrading" Section (ref. % 11.4.2) of the Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) requires that weld repairs be made in accordance with Section 10 of the QAM, the nonconformance stands as written. Accordingly, describe your actions taken to preclude recurrence of the noted deficiencies and the measures taken to assure that the QA program requirements for upgrading castings are implemented.
(86-01-04) - Provide copies of the records for "each of *.ne people involved" which shows that "in all cases the recertification statement did include compliance with QAS-9." Provide a date for changing the certification form.
(86-01-05) - Describe the changes made to STD No. MPDS-7 "to reflect our practice" and the date that the standard was revised.
(86-01-06) - Describe the rationale for your statement, "The other items were all confined to the gage laboratory so they could not have been improperly used." Describe the preventive action and the date of implementation to assure that measuring and test equipment is correctly labeled and identified as to its calibration status.
(86-01-07) - Following the discovery by the NRC inspector of acceptable seat rings in a nonconforming material hold area, AD removed the acceptable rings, but there was no objective evidence to indicate how long this situation existed. The nonconformance is valid since it was written against AD's failure to segregate acceptable material from nonconforming material. Describe the measures taken and the date of implementation to prevent a recurrence of this event.
