SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 99901298/98-01 (AND NOTICES OF VIOLATION AND NONCONFORMANCE)
Dear Mr. Seiken:
On January 14-16, and March 2-6,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) completed an inspection at your Fort Worth office and at the GNB facility at Fort Smith, Arkansas, which manufactures batteries that Nuclear Logistics, Inc. (NLI) sells to the nuclear industry. The enclosed report presents the results of the inspection.
The NRC inspection team evaluated the programs that NLI established and executed to implement the provisions of Part 21 of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR Part 21), and 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B. Specifically, the inspectors reviewed NLl's quality assurance and quality control activities at the GNB battery factory, the refurbishment by NLI of Westinghouse Type DB 50 circuit breakers for Consolidated Edison's Indian Point Station, Unit 2, the dedication of new Westinghouse Type DS 416 breakers for New York Power Authority's Indian Point, Unit 3, and the NLI analysis to support the extension of the seismic qualified life of GNB Type NCX -1950 batteries from 10 to 20 years. Within these areas, the inspection I consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspectors. The inspectors also verified the implementation
! of the actions taken by NLl to correct two nonconformances identified in NRC Inspection Report
\ ,
99901298/96-01.
The NRC inspectors determined that NLl's procedures adopted pursuant to 10 CFR Part 21 did I not meet the requirements in the regulation for such procedures. The NRC inspectors further !
determined that the implementation of NLi's quality assurance program did not meet certain NRC requirements imposed on you by your customers. Some NLI procedures to implement the / ,
provisions of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, lacked appropriate acceptance criteria, were not I qualified for the specific application, or were not followed. Furthermore, appropriate procedures l were not established to perform complex battery seismic qualification evaluations.
l The violation and nonconformances are cited in the enclosed Notice of Violation and Notice of Nonconformance and circumstances surrounding them are described in detail in the enclosed report. You are requested to respond to the violation and nonconformances and should follow the instructions specified in the enclosed NOV and NON when preparing your response.
