Golden Gate Forge & Flange, Inc.
ATTN: Mr. Fred Hawley President Post Office Box 547 South San Francisco, California 94083 Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. James T. Conway and Mr. Owen Gormley 4
of this office on May 30 to June 4,1986, of your facility at Hunters Point, San Francisco, California. This inspection was made as a result of the receipt of a 10 CFR Part 21 report from Consolidated Pipe and Valve Supply (CPVS) per-taining to potential defective flanges manufactured by Golden Gate Forge and Flange (GGFF) and furnished by CPVS to the D.C. Cook and Midland nuclear facilities.
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. Our review of QA records indicates that you manufactured flanges for the nuclear industry from 1979 through 1985. Within the scope of this inspection, it was noted that GGFF activities failed to meet certain NRC requirements. Significant items included failures to:
(a) have a procedure addressing Part 21 requirements, (b) pass 10 CFR Part 21 require-ments on to suppliers / manufacturers, and (c) have a documented QA program in-cluding instructions and procedures.
In addition, there was no documented evidence to show that GGFF had been audited or surveyed by their nuclear cus-tomers.
The enclosed Notice of Violation is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of Section 206 of the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974. You are required to submit to this office 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.
You are also requeste('.to submit a similar written statement for the item which appears in the enclesed Notice of Noncgnformance.
