NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99900912/95-01
Dear Mr. Rotti:
On January 6-8,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performed an inspection at the National Technical Systems (NTS) facility in Acton, Massachusetts. The enclosed report presents the findings or that inspection. The inspection was conducted to assess specific at'ributes and implementation of the NTS quality assurance (QA) program to ascerta!n whether it mst NRC requirements. The inspectors specifically reviewed your activities relating to the procurement, dedication, and supply of replacement 4-kV circuit breakers to the Diablo Canyon Power Plant. The inspectors assessed NTS's conformonce to customer procurement requirements, commercial grade dedication activities and compliance with NRC regulations. In addition, the inspectors examined corrective action taken in response to the findings of the previous inspection of NTS documented in inspection Report 99900912/93-01. Within the scope c
of this inspection, we found no instance in which NTS failed to meet NRC requirements.
As discussed in detailin the enclosed report, the inspectors found that NTS's commercial-grade dedication of the Yaskawa modular assemblies, the conversion hardware, and final conversion units was acceptable. The inspectors also found that the evaluations of Yaskawa design changes and PDS conversion hardware by NTS and PG&E were adequate to support taking credit for the Yaskawa ANSIinterrupting capacity test.
In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the NRC's
- Rules of Practice," a copy of this letter and its enclosures will be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
