SUBJECT:
NRC INSPECTION REPORT 999-1335/98-01, NOTICE OF VIOLATION, AND NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE
Dear Mr. Dougherty:
On May 11-14,1998, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) performed an announced inspection of Columbiana Boiler Company (CBC) at its facility in Columbiana, Ohio.
The enclosed inspectic,n report presents the details of the inspection. Additionalinformation on 10 CFR Part 21 training was transmitted to the NRC by telephone on June 12,1998.
The inspection team reviewed CBC's activities associated with the fabrication of Uranium Hexafluoride (UF.) cylinders, Models 308 and 48Y. The team evaluated CBC's compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR Parts 21 and 71, Certificates of Compliance, and the requirements of American National Standards Institute N14.1-1990, " Uranium Hexafluoride -
Packaging for Transpor1." The inspectors focused on CBC's management and fabrication controls.
The team concluded that CBC's management controls and fabrication controls were generally acceptable and that the UF, cylinders fabricated by CBC will meet their intended safety function. However, the team identified one violation having high safety significance and five nonconformances having low safety significance.
The team was informed that CBC had hired a new Quality Assurance (QA) Manager in March 1998 who is completely updating CBC's QA program to comply with the requirements of 10 CFR Part 71. The team noted that CBC is currently in the process of developing new QA procedures which, when fully implemented, will address the issues identified during this inspection. The implementation of CBC's revised QA program was not addessed during this Inspection. However, the implementation of the updated QA program will be inspected in a
~
future inspection.
Please provide us, within 30 days of the date of this letter, a written statement in accordance with the hstructions specified in the enclosed Notice of Violation and Notice of Nonconformance. We will consider extending the response time if you can show good cause for us to do so.
