Dear Mr. Woeber:
I On September 21-25 and November 16-17,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission !
- (NRC) performed an inspection at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation steam generator manufacturing facility in Pensacola, Florida. The enclosed report presents the findings of that inspection.
The inspection was conducted to assess: (a) attributes and implementation of the Westinghouse Pensacola Plant (WPP) quality assurance program in the areas of control of special processes, procurement control, and control of tubing operations, to ascertain whether .
they met NRC requirements, (b) conformance to customer procurement requirements; (c) the l corrective actions taken in response to a stop work order imposed by STP Nuclear Operating Company; and (d) implementation of Part 21 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Reoulations.
Overall, the results of the inspection indicate that you have established appropriate program criteria for control of fabrication and examinatica activities, with implementation noted generally !
to be good. In addition, it was found thc' " Pi> was in compliance with the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 ind was effectively implementig F.s Assessment Recovery Program that was developed in response to the November 6,1997, stop work order from the STP Nuclear Operating Company. During the inspection, the inspectors determined, however, that WPP did not adequately implement its quality assurance program criteria for procurement of submerged arc welding flux to comply with NRC and customer requirements. Specifically, WPP accepted containers of submerged arc welding flux from a vendor, for use in steam generator pressure boundary welding applications, which were: (a) indicated by submitted vendor documentation to have been produced by a different manufacturer to that specified by the procurement '
documents, and (b) were not identified with the name of the manufacturer as required by the relevant material specification.
This issue is cited in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance (NON), and the circumstances !
surrounding it are described in detailin the enclosed report. You are requested to respond to
