Subject:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99901062/97-01 AND NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE
Dear Mr. Fitzwilliam:
On June 2 though 5,1997, the U.S. Nuclear Reguhtory Commiss;on (NRC) conducted an inspection of Nova Machine Products Corporation (Nova). An 'nspection report was issued on July 22,1997. Subsequently, Nova indicted to the NRC that certain statements made in the report may be misleading. Therefore, by letter of St otember 5,1997, the NRC informed Nova that it was withdrawing the inspection report until the asue of potentially misleading information could be resolved. On October 2,1997, the NRC returled to Nova to complete the inspection and to review Nova's corrective actions to the Notice cf Nonconformance, issued with the original report, as described in Nova's letter of August 18,1997.
During the June 1997 inspection, the NRC inspectors found that the implementation of your quality assurance program failed to meet certain NRC requirements imposed on Nova by customers. Specifically, the inspection identified instances where Nova supplied material under its ASME Quality Systems Certificate (OSC) without providing all documentation required by the applicable ASME Code, NCA 3800 quality assurance program. Additionally, the inspection identified one instance where Nova failed to perform all testing required by Paragraph NCA-3855.5 of the ASME Code, when uporading unqualified source material. This material was subsequently supplied and certified under Nova's OSC.
This nonconformance is cited in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance (NON), and the circumstances surrounding it are described in detail in the enclosed report. You responded to the nonconformance Ly letter of August 18,1997. During the October 1997 inspection, the NRC determined that your corrective actions were appropriate and complete. Therefore, no .
further response is required. v (~; I
