s APPENDIX B Ladish Company Docket No. 99901070/86-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Based on the results of an NRC inspection conducted on November 17-21, 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 accomplished in accord-ance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings.
Instructions, procedures, or drawings shall include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for detemining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished."
Nonconformances, with these requirements are as follows:
1.
Subsection NCA-3867.4(e) of Section III of the ASME Code requires that a material manufacturer who certifies material made from stock either performs or subcontracts the requirements of the material specification on each piece of stock material or each heat and lot of material provided traceability has been established.
Contrary to the above, it was noted on 20 orders for Section III fittings, that LC stated on applicable certified material test reports. that " Fittings are Nuclear Class X per ASME Section III (year and addenda of the Code),"
but there was no documented evidence that a chemical analysis and mechanical testing were perfomed on the stock material (pipe purchased to ASTM A106 requirements only) to meet the requirements of the material specification (e.g., SA 105 and SA 234) and the upgradin7 requirements of NCA-3867.4(e).
(86-01-02) 2.
P0s for nuclear fittings and flanges from Hub, Capitol Pipe & Steel Products, Guyon Alloys, PBI Industries, Louis P. Canuso, and Joilet Valves imposed the requirements of Section III of the ASME Code upon LC.
Subsection NCA-4134.6 of Section III of the ASME Code recuires that docu-ments, including changes, are distributed to and used at the location where the prescribed activity is performed.
Section 2.3 of Procedure 2AR001 " Quality System Procedure Preparation and Control," Revision 3 states, in part, "Each recipient shall be responsible for retention of the current issued procedure... removing and destroying any obsolete copies...."

. Contrary to the above, it was roted that:
(86-01-03)
Revision 2, dated May 8, 1985, to Procedure 4AR001 " Acceptance Test a.
Sampling for Starting Raw Material" was not at the bar stock storage area.
b.
Revision 3, dated August 21, 1986, to Procedure 7AR005 "Magnotic Particle Inspection in Accordance with MIL-STD-271E and NTR-1E" was not at the magnetic particle inspection station.
Obsolete revisions to Procedures 6AR001-B, -C, and -F were at the c.
heat treat station in the tubing facility.
3.
Section 1.3 of Procedure 7AR001 " Qualification and Certification of Magnetic Particle Testina Personnel," Revision 1 states, in part, " Requirements detailed in this procedure are based on Recomended Practice No SNT-TC-1A Section 7.1 of Procedure 7AR001 and Section 9.6.1 of SNT-TC-1A require that personnel records of certified individuals contain a " statement indicating satisfactory completion of training in accordance with the employer's written procedure."
Contrary to the above, a review of qualification records for nordestructive examination personnel revealed that the records for the Level II examiner satisfactory completion of training did not contain a statement indicating (86-01-04) in accordance with Procedure 7AR001.
4.
HUB PO B-8007703 dated March 18, 1986 for Section III fittings impored the requirements of ANSI N45.2-1977 " Quality Assurance Program Requirenents for Nuclear Facilities" upon LC.
Section 5 of ANSI N45.2-1977 states, in part, "... procurement documents shall require contractors [ vendors] to provide a Quality Assurance Program consistent with the pertinent requirements of this standard."
Contrary to the above, a OA Program was not invoked on P0 23613 (February 26, 1986) to Charles C. Kawin for mechanical and anelytical testing of nuclear material; and P0s 23467 (January 15,1986) to Magnaflux Corporation; 21613 (December 14,1984) to Mid-South Calibration; 20240 (January 18, 1984) to Edmunds Manufacturing; and 29297 (September 19,1984) to Starrett, all for calibration services.

Section 4.3 of Procedure 3AR002 " Selective Qualification of Comercially Produced Tubular Fittings for ASME Section III... Application" Revision 3 states, in part, " Dimensions shall be recorded on an eppropriate Inspection Check Sheet for at least 10% of the fittings from each heat code inspected."

. Section 4.4 of Procedure 3AR002 states, in part, " Gages used in the inspec-tion and verification shall be recorded on the check sheet for the parts inspected."
Section 18 of ANSI N45.2-1977 states, in part, " Inspection... records shall
... identify...the inspector...."
Contrary to the above, it was noted the Fittings Inspection Check List (FICL) for items 1, 4, and 5 on LSO F18848 did not identify the inspector nor the S/Ns of the gages used for the dimensional inspections; and the FICL for item 1 on LSO R16749A did not record a number of dimensions nor identify the S/Ns of gages.
(86-01-06) 6.
Section 4.3 of Procedure 3AR002 states, in part, "Each fitting shall be dimensionally inspected to the applicable Ladish Product Design Print...."
Contrary to the above, the recorded dimensional readings on the FICL for item 29 on LSO R18237A indicate inspection readings are not being compared to the Product Design Print in all cases.
(86-01-07) 7.
Section 5.1 of Procedure 12AR001 " Dimensional Tool & Gage Control" Revision 2 states, in part, "A ' Master Log of Tool Serial Numbers' shall be maintaired
.... entered on the log shall be the description of the item being serialized opposite the assigned serial no."
Section 3.3.3 of Procedure 12AR001M " Calibration of Steel Scales" Revision 0 states, "If scale is found within limits, signify acceptance by affixing a properly filled out green " approved" sticker to the scale."
Contrary to the above, it was noted that serialized gage block sets being used in the calibration program were not listed in the Master Log of Tool Serial Numbers, and several steel scales under the control of the calibration program were found without calibration stickers.
