APPENDIX A Westinghouse Electric Corporation Docket No. 99900005/86-01 NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE During an inspection conducted on August 18-20, 1986, the implementation of the Westinghouse Quality Assurance (QA) Plan at the Specialty Metals Plant (SMP) in Blairsville, Pennsylvania was reviewed with respect to the fabrication of nuclear fuel tubing. Topical Report WCAP 8370/7800, " Westinghouse Water Reactor Divisions Quality Assurance Plan," Revision 10A/6A, dated August 1984, which was reviewed and approved by the NRC, describes the QA program of the Westinghouse Electric Corporation.

Section 17.1.12 of WCAP 8370/7800, Revision 10A/6A, dated August 1984, requires, in part, that measuring and test equipment used for accepttr.ce and verification of quality be maintained under control systems and that documents detail the use of appropriately traceable measurement standards.
Section 6.12 of SMP Product Assurance Department Administrative Procedure PA-003, Revision C, requires, in part, that written procedures for control and calibration of measuring and test equipment used in activities affecting quality exist and that standards are purchased and verified using(measuring equipment which is traceable to the National Bureau of Standards NBS),
whenever possible.
Contrary to the above, the standard used in ultrasonic testing (UT) to validate tube ovality is not serialized and maintained under the equipment calibration control system nor are the dimensions of the standard traceable to NBS.
2.
Section 17.1.5 of WCAP 8370/7800, Revision 10A/6A, dated August 1984, requires, in part, that activities affecting quality are accomplished in accordance with documented instructions, procedures or drawings.
