APPENDIX A Velan Valve Corporation Docket No. 99900346/86-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on March 24-27, 1986, it appears that certain of your activities were not conducted in accordance with NRC requirements.

Criterion V of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states: " Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented. instructions, procedures, or drawings, of a type appropriate to the circumstances and shall be accom-plished in accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.

Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantita-tive or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."

Nonconformances with these requirements are as follows:

1. Section 7.9 of Procedure No. VELW-QC-156.7, " Welding-Quality Assurance",

dated April 4,1984, requires that each compartment of the holding oven be identified with a lot number.

Contrary to the above, one of the compartments of holding oven No. W385 was identified with a heat number instead of a lot number (86-01-01).

2. Subsection NCA-4134.5 of Section III of the ASME Code states, in part,

" Activities affecting quality shall be prescribed by documented instructions, procedures . . . Instructions , procedures . . .shall i nclude appropria te. . . and qualitative criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished. . . ."

Contrary to the above, procedure VEL-P-611. " Cleaning and Packaging of Stainless Steel Valves and Valve Components", does not adequately con-trol the identification and segregation of carbon steel grinding wheels from stainless steel grinding wheels. This is evidenced by the fact that unmarked and unsegregated carbon steel grinding wheels were found in a room marked " Stainless Steel Only," and an operator was grinding carbon steel valve bodies in the room (86-01-02).
