E.Merschoff, Chief,)yt, Vendor Program Branch Date INSPECTION BASES AND SCOPE:

A.

BASES: Allegation received in March, 1986, 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and 10 CFR Part 21.

B.

SCOPE: This inspection was performed in response to an allegation re-ceived by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission in Farch, 1986.

Further, this inspection sought to establish the adequacy of the Henry Vogt Quality Assurance Program and the Company's adherence to the require-ments of 10 CFR Part 21.

PLANT SITE APPLICABILITY: James M. Farley, Units I and 2,(50-348;50-364).

ORGANIZATION: HENRY V0GT MACHINE COMPANY LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY REPORT INSPECTION NO.-

99901056/86-01 RESULTS:

PAGE 2 of 5 A.

VIOLATIONS:

Contrary to Section 21.31 of 10 CFR Part 21, the Henry Vogt Machine Company failed to specify Part 21 as an applicable requirement on any purchase orders issued to vendors of calibration services.

(86-01-01)

B.

NONCONFORMANCES:

1)

Contrary to Section 4.0 of Laboratory Procedure 012-R1, the oper-ating temperature of the emission spectrograph was not being main-tained as required.

Further, no provision was made to monitor re-lative humidity in the Vogt laboratory as required by procedure 012-R1.

(86-01-02) 2)

Contrary to Resume NPG-0R-215271-NUC, globe valves intended for ship-ment to James H. Farley Nuclear Plant were not being tested by the procedure specified.

(86-01-03) 3)

Contrary to Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, quality program audits have not been performed for vendors supplying calibra-tion services.

(86-01-04)

C.

UNRESOLVED ITEMS:

The inspector noted that " standardization samples" for the ARL model 34000 Optical Emission Spectrographic Analyzer were supplied by the Bureau of Analyzed Samples Ltd., Newtown Hall, Middlesborough, England (U.K.).

While the standardization samples were serialized (numbers SUS A5 and B/3), it was not clear that the foreign source of these (calibration) standards met the requirement that permitted the emis-sion spectrographic analyzer to be "... calibrated to certified standards

[that] have a known relationship to national standards where such stan-dards exist...." and "where such national standards do not exist, the manufacturer's standard shall be used and documented." No documenta-tion was provided by Henry Vogt Machine Company to substantiate either that standards SUS A5 and B/3 possessed such a known relationship to national (U.K.) standards, or that the lack of such standards (U.K. or U.S.A.) necessarily led to the use of standards A5 and B/3.

This is a separate, but related, issue from nonconfnrnance 86-01-04, identified above.

STATUS OF PREVIOUS INSPECTION FINDINGS:

The Henry Vogt Machine Company has not been previously audited by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

E.

OTHER OBSERVATIONS AND COMMENTS:

1.

Allegation IE 86-A-0014 On March 7,1986 the Region II office (Atlanta) of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission received an allegation against Henry Vogt Machine Company. The alleger stated that improper metal compo-sition or pressure tests were performed by the Company on valves supplied to nuclear power plants.

In reviewing records related to the allegation during the inspec-tion at Henry Vogt Machine Company, the inspector examined the separate file listing all nuclear orders received by Henry Vogt Machine Company since receiving their "N" stamp in 1972. Of the approximately 200 such orders, two were found that satisfied the criteria supplied by the alleger for determing the type of orders that may have contained improperly tested valves.

The inspector examined the routing sheets for these purchase orders, with particular attention to the accompanying test reports. All test reports appeared to be complete and properly documented.

Test report documentation included the associated procedure, gauge serial number, test pressure and medium duration of test, leakage (if any) recorded, valve position (on backseat or partially open), and sig-natures for the test technician, supervisor and Authorized Nuclear Inspector.

No evidence was found to indicate that anything other than complete, comprehensive and fully documented testing of these valves took place.

2.

Control of Measuring and Test Equipment The following metallurgical laboratory instruments were checked for calibration: microhardness tester, serial #709; Rockwell superficial tester, serial #35563; Rockwell hardness tester, serial

  1. 359-683; Brinell hardness tester model no. Type A; tensile tester, serial #94250; Sartorius balance, serial #141444. All instruments were current in their calibration status at the time of the inspec-tion.

ORGANIZATION: HENRY V0GT MACHINE COMPANY LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY REPORT INSPECTION NO.-

09901056/86-01 RESULTS:

PAGE 4 of 5 All calibration certificates verified that the calibrations were traceable to the National Bureau of Standards. According to P0

  1. 709374 dated 2-5-86 and the observations of the NRC inspector, Accu Chek, Inc. provided calibration services for:

1)

The department 20 Brinell, microhardness, Tucon and Rockwell hardness testers.

2)

The die shop Rockwell hardness tester.

3)

The heat treat area Rockwell hardness tester.

4)

The department 28 Rockwell hardness tester.

According to P0 #706214 dated 9-24-85 and the observations of the NRC-inspector, the Southern Calibration & Service Company provided calibration services for:

1)

The department 20 P.ichle 60K tensile machine, serial #R94250; the Richle 200K, 17250 Beam Type tensile machine; Richle extensometers, Beam Type R942501, sizes 11" and 2"; the Rockwell Hardness Tester, Serial No. 5690; the Superficial Rockwell tester, Serial No.63-355; the Brinell tester, Type "A"; the microhardness Tucon tester, No. 709; and the Houndsfield tensometer Type W, Serial No. 1803.

2)

Die shop Rockwell hardness tester 1067 40VR-BB.

3)

Heat treat area Rockwell hardness tester 438 4PRQ.

Calibration of thermocouples #152, #153 and #119 (all type K) for heat treat furnaces #2008, 1001H and 2178 were checked and deter-mined to be current.

Leeds and Northrup was the supplier and cali-bration vendor for the thermocouples.

3.

Material Testing The NRC inspector reviewed procedures NPG-INST-017 " Product Analysis Procedure" and 020 " Forging Bar Spectrographic Analysis" for the ARL 34000 Optical Emission Spectrometer. Both procedures were found adequate.

By witnessing the spectrograph operator prepare samples, calibrate and run an analysis, the inspector verified that the oper-ator had a good working knowledge of the instrument, as well as the applicable Henry Vogt Company procedures.

99901056/86-01 RESULTS:

PAGE 5 of 5 However, the environmental conditions specified for the emission spectrometer operator in Procedure 012-R1, Section 4, were not met.

At the time of the inspection, there was no apparent way to measure the relative humidity in the spectrographic laboratory. The opera-ting temperature of the spectrometer when checked was 22.3 C, in-stead of the required 38 C : 2 C.

The proper environmental condi-tions are important, since the instrument's accuracy is dependent on the environmental conditions (86-02).

4.

Weld Area In the weld area, low hydrogen coated electrodes were stored in seg-regated locked cabinets and ovens as required. All material within the oven was segregated by heat number and tagged with metal tags.

Upon review of the welding area, current procedures were found at the work stations. All areas were clean and free of any unidentified and unaccountable rods.

5.

Control of Purchased Material, Equipment and Services It was determined that vendors of calibration services (Accu Chek, Southern Calibration & Services, and Leeds and Northrup) have not been audited by the Henry Vogt Company.

Further, they were not found on the Approved Vendors List. The ARL 34000 Optical Emission spectro-graphic standardization samples (SUS A5 and B/3), were supplied by the Pureau of Analyzed Samples, LTD., Newtown Hall, Middlesbrough England, in July 1982. The Bureau of Analyzed Samples LTD., had also not been audited by the Henry Vogt Conpany, nor was it on the current Approved Vendors List.
