Enclosure NOTICE OF NONCONFORMANCE Flowserve Limitorque Docket No. 99900100 5114 Woodall Road Report No. 2022-201 Lynchburg, VA 24502 Based on the results of a U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) inspection conducted at the Flowserve Flow Control Division - Limitorques (hereafter referred to as Flowserve Limitorque) facility in Lynchburg, VA, from October 17, 2022, through October 21, 2022, Flowserve Limitorque did not conduct certain activities in accordance with NRC requirements that were contractually imposed upon Flowserve Limitorque by its customers or NRC licensees:
A. Criterion III, Design Control, of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities, states, in part, that Measures shall also be established for the selection and review for suitability of application of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the structures, systems and components. []
Design changes, including field changes, shall be subject to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design and be approved by the organization that performed the original design unless the applicant designates another responsible organization.
Flowserve Limitorques procedure No. LYB-EDP-005.001, Procedure for Engineering Design Documents, Revision 3, dated July 31, 2019, defines the requirements for the issuance of an Engineering Design Document (EDD). An EDD is a document used to substantiate a change in a design where the change is determined to affect equipment qualification.
Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 2022, Flowserve Limitorque failed to review the suitability of application of equipment that are essential to the safety-related functions by subjecting design changes to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque implemented a material change from 1144 and 1141 steel bar to 4140 steel bar for several internal components of the Limitorque actuators including the stem nut and the drive sleeve. Flowserve Limitorque concluded that the material change had no adverse effect on the existing environmental qualifications. However, the NRC inspection team identified that Flowserve Limitorque did not evaluate how the thermal properties of the material, such as the thermal coefficient of expansion, might impact the performance of the internal components.
This issue has been identified as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01.
B. Criterion IV, Procurement Document Control, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, that Measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements which are necessary to assure adequate quality are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of material, equipment, and services, whether purchased by the applicant or by its contractors or subcontractors.
2 Subsection 4.9.4 of Flowserve Limitorque procedure No. LYB-QAP-0006, Purchasing Procedure, Revision 4, dated June 2, 2020, states that Gage Calibration will use form L828, manual shipper to request calibration services from all outside sources, including calibration being performed in-house by an outside source. The gage lab technician shall make the statement The quality requirements of POL40, Rev (fill in revision number) attached are invoked for this procurement/service.
Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 2022, Flowserve Limitorque failed to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements, which are necessary to assure adequate quality, are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of services. Specifically, the NRC inspection team identified that Flowserve Limitorque did not issue procurement documents with the applicable technical, quality, and regulatory requirements to the vendors that perform calibration services at Flowserve Limitorques facility for measuring and test equipment that will be used in safety-related activities.
This issue has been identified as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-02.
C. Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 states, in part, that Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective material and equipment, and nonconformances are promptly identified and corrected.
Flowserve Limitorque procedure No. LYB-QAP-14.1, Corrective and Preventive Action Procedure, Revision 18, dated September 19, 2022, defines the various measures to identify cause, determine and implement corrective and preventive action, as a result of either hardware or programmatic deficiency.
Contrary to the above, as of October 21, 2022, Flowserve Limitorque failed to promptly correct conditions adverse to quality. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not implement all of the corrective actions initiated to address Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01 as documented in Audit Deficiency Notification (ADN) No.
99900100/2018-201-E-1. Both Flowserve Limitorques official response to the NRC and ADN No. 99900100/2018-201-E-1 stated that Flowserve Limitorque would ensure critical motor performance characteristics are adequately verified by the review of Routine Motor Test (RMT) data and by commercial-grade surveys of the motor original equipment manufacturer (OEM) test facility. The NRC inspection team identified that while Flowserve Limitorque performed a commercial-grade survey of the OEMs test facility, Flowserve Limitorques revised documentation did not identify motor torque as a critical characteristic to be measured and did not verify the motor output torque conformed to the associated speed-torque curves for DC motors. Ensuring the motors conform to published speed-torque curves is necessary to ensure the motors can deliver the relied upon torque to operate the motor-operated valve actuators.
This issue has been identified as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03.
Please provide a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, DC 20555-0001, with a copy to the Chief, Quality Assurance and Vendor Inspection Branch, Division of Reactor Oversight, Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Nonconformance.

SUMMARY
Flowserve Flow Control Division - Limitorque 99900100/2022-201 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) staff conducted a vendor inspection at the Flowserve Flow Control Division - Limitorques (hereafter referred to as Flowserve Limitorque) facility in Lynchburg, VA, to verify that it had implemented an adequate quality assurance (QA) program that complies with the requirements of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities. In addition, the NRC inspection also verified that Flowserve Limitorque implemented a program under 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance. This was the fourth NRC inspection of Flowserve Limitorque at their Lynchburg facility.
This technically focused inspection specifically evaluated Flowserve Limitorques implementation of quality activities associated with the design, fabrication, and testing of safety-related Class 1E motor operated valve actuators and spare parts for U.S. nuclear power plants.
Specific activities observed by the NRC inspection team included:
Final inspection of a spline adapter, Part No. 60-245-0115-3, Heat No. MM21100170
Torque test of an SMB-0 actuator on a Limitorque torque stand (the SMB-0 actuator was not safety-related, but the process used by Flowserve Limitorque for testing actuators is the same for both safety-related and not safety-related)
Calibration of several instruments for use in safety-related activities These regulations served as the bases for the NRC inspection:
Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50
10 CFR Part 21 During the course of this inspection, the NRC inspection team implemented the following inspection procedures (IP): IP 43002, Routine Inspections of Nuclear Vendors, dated April 5, 2022; IP 43004, Inspection of Commercial-Grade Dedication Programs, dated April 5, 2022; and IP 36100, Inspection of 10 CFR Part 21 and Programs for Reporting Defects and Noncompliance, dated May 16, 2019.
With the exception of the nonconformances described below, the NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorques QA policies and procedures comply with the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21, and that Flowserve Limitorques personnel are implementing these policies and procedures effectively. The results of this inspection are summarized below.
Design Control The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its design control program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion III, Design Control, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The
6 NRC inspection team focused its review on evaluating the implementation of completed design changes. Flowserve Limitorque is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and indicated that there were no original design activities underway for safety-related Limitorque actuators, and that current design control activities are limited to design changes to the safety-related Limitorque actuators. The NRC inspection team issued one nonconformance associated with Flowserve Limitorques implementation of its design control program.
The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to review the suitability of application of equipment that are essential to the safety-related functions by subjecting design changes to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque implemented a material change which affected several internal components of the Limitorque actuators including the stem nut and the drive sleeve. Flowserve Limitorque concluded that there was no adverse effect on existing environmental qualifications; however, the NRC inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque did not evaluate how the thermal properties of the material, such as the thermal coefficient of expansion, might impact the performance of the specific parts, such as the stem nut and drive sleeve. Flowserve Limitorque initiated corrective action report (CAR) No. 202210-63223 to address this issue.
Procurement Document Control and Supplier Oversight The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its procurement document control and supplier oversight programs to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion IV, Procurement Document Control, and Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of external audit reports and confirmed that the external audits were performed by qualified individuals using checklists and/or procedures, the checklists and/or procedures included an audit plan, documented objective evidence, audit results, and a review of audit results by responsible management. The NRC inspection team identified one minor issue and one nonconformance associated with Flowserve Limitorques implementation of its supplier oversight and procurement document control programs, respectively.
The NRC inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque implemented the 25% audit frequency extension due to exigent conditions for one of their suppliers in their Approved Vendors List but did not document the evaluation required per Subsection 11.2.a of their procedure No. LYB-QAP-17.1, Audit Procedure, Revision 32, dated June 9, 2022. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because Flowserve Limitorque: (1) did not procure any items from this supplier within the audit extension period; and (2) it performed a full scope audit of the supplier and no findings were identified. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63451 to address this issue.
The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-02 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion IV of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-02 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements, design bases, and other requirements, which are necessary to assure adequate quality, are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of services. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not issue purchase orders (POs) with the applicable technical and quality requirements to the
7 vendors that perform calibration services at Flowserve Limitorques facility for measuring and test equipment (M&TE) that will be used in safety-related activities. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63406 to address this issue.
Nonconforming Material, Parts, or Components and Corrective Action The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and procedures that govern the implementation of its nonconforming material, parts, or components and corrective action programs to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion XV, Nonconforming Materials, Parts or Components, and Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed the implementation and closure of the corrective actions initiated by Flowserve Limitorque to address Nonconformances 99900100/2018-201-01, 99900100/2018-201-02, and 99900100/2018-201-03, documented in the NRCs inspection report No. 99900100/2018-201, dated March 7, 2018 (Agency Documents Access and Management System Accession No. ML18043A150). The NRC inspection team identified one nonconformance with Flowserve Limitorques implementation of its corrective action program.
The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to promptly correct conditions adverse to quality. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not implement all of the corrective actions initiated to address Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01 as documented in Audit Deficiency Notification (ADN) No.
99900100/2018-201-E-1. Both Flowserve Limitorques official response to the NRC and ADN No. 99900100/2018-201-E-1 stated that Flowserve Limitorque would ensure critical motor performance characteristics are adequately verified by the review of Routine Motor Test (RMT) data and by commercial-grade surveys of the motor OEM test facility. The NRC inspection team identified that while Flowserve Limitorque performed a commercial-grade survey of the OEMs test facility, Flowserve Limitorques revised documentation did not identify motor torque as a critical characteristic to be measured and did not verify the motor output torque conformed to the associated speed-torque curves for DC motors. Ensuring the motors conform to published speed-torque curves is necessary to ensure the motors can deliver the relied upon torque to operate the motor-operated valve actuators. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63407 to address this issue.
Commercial-Grade Dedication The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its commercial-grade dedication (CGD) program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion III and Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of CGD packages for components and services including the technical evaluations used to identify the critical characteristics and acceptance criteria. The NRC inspection team identified two minor issues associated with Flowserve Limitorques implementation of its CGD program.
Flowserve Limitorque implements the process for using accreditation in lieu of performing commercial-grade surveys for calibration services as part of the CGD process in accordance with the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document No.14-05A, Guidelines for the Use of Accreditation in Lieu of Commercial-Grade Surveys for Procurement of Laboratory Calibration and Test Services, Revision 1, dated September 2020. The NRC inspection team noted that
8 Flowserve Limitorque was not adequately implementing the process as delineated in NEI 14-05A. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque: (1) incorrectly identified the conditions from NEI 14-05A as critical characteristics; (2) did not adequately verify the calibration certificates included the required information from the POs; and (3) did not include one of the conditions in the POs. The NRC inspection team determined these issues to be minor because there was no impact on the calibration of the M&TE. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63406 to address this issue. No findings of significance were identified.
During the review of a sample of CGD documents for bar stock and castings, the NRC inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque identified heat number and material composition as critical characteristics. The acceptance method for the verification of the heat number is visual inspection, and for the material verification, a sample is sent to a qualified laboratory for testing. The NRC inspection team identified that Flowserve Limitorque: (1) did not verify whether the commercial suppliers had adequately established heat traceability and lot and batch control; and (2) did not develop and document a technical basis for the selection of the sampling plans sample size. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because Flowserve Limitorque performs testing on the material and conducts operational tests of the final components. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63404 to address this issue. No findings of significance were identified.
Control of Special Processes The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its control of special processes program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion IX, Control of Special Processes, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A, Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing. Flowserve Limitorques special processes activities are limited to wet fluorescent magnetic particle testing (MT) and coating (painting). The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of procedures, instructions, test reports, coating certifications, and training and qualification records associated with these two activities. No findings of significance were identified.
Test Control The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its test control program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XI, Test Control, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of test procedures and test reports, and confirmed that the testing was performed in accordance with Flowserve Limitorques test procedures using calibrated M&TE and performed by qualified personnel. The NRC inspection team also observed the torque test of an SMB-0 actuator on a Limitorque torque stand (the SMB-0 actuator was not safety-related, but the process used by Flowserve Limitorque for testing actuators is the same for both safety-related and not safety-related). No findings of significance were identified.
Control of Measuring and Test Equipment The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its control of the M&TE program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XII, Control of Measuring and Test Equipment, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team witnessed the calibration of various
9 instruments. The NRC inspection team also observed that M&TE was adequately calibrated, labeled, tagged, handled, and stored. The NRC inspection team noted that M&TE were being appropriately controlled to indicate the calibration status and its traceability to nationally recognized standards. The NRC inspection team identified one minor issue associated with Flowserve Limitorques implementation of its M&TE program.
During a walkthrough of the manufacturing floor, the NRC inspection team observed that a multimeter in a work area was past the calibration due date and had not been sent for calibration nor segregated to prohibit its use. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because the multimeter was not currently in use at the time, and this was the only example of M&TE discovered out of calibration on the manufacturing floor. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63408 to address this issue. No findings of significance were identified.
10 CFR Part 21 Program The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its 10 CFR Part 21 program to verify compliance with 10 CFR Part 21. The NRC inspection team: (1) reviewed the 10 CFR Part 21 postings; (2) reviewed a sample of POs; (3) verified that Flowserve Limitorques nonconformance and corrective action programs provide a link to the 10 CFR Part 21 program; and (4) reviewed a sample of 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations performed by Flowserve Limitorque. No findings of significance were identified.
10 REPORT DETAILS 1.
Design Control a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its design control program to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion III, Design Control, of Appendix B, Quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants and Fuel Reprocessing Plants, to 10 CFR Part 50, Domestic Licensing of Production and Utilization Facilities. Flowserve Limitorque is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of the safety-related Limitorque Class 1E motor operated valve (MOV) actuators.
Flowserve Limitorque indicated that there are currently no new design activities for its safety-related MOV actuators, and that design control activities are limited to design changes to the safety-related MOV actuators.
The NRC inspection team focused its review on Flowserve Limitorques processes for performing design reviews and design changes. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of design documentation including design procedures, drawings, and engineering design documents (EDDs). An EDD is a document used to substantiate a change in a design where the change is determined to affect equipment qualification.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the design control program with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
- b. Observations and Findings Flowserve Limitorques EDD-191, Material Change from 1144 and 1141 Steel Bar to 4140 Steel Bar, Revision 0, dated May 6, 2016, described a comparative analysis of the material properties to support the use of 4140 steel bar in lieu of 1144/1141 steel bar in parts identified as nuclear safety-related. EDD-191 lists the component part types that are potentially affected by this proposed change. The list contains part types internal to the Limitorque actuators including the stem nut (torque only applications) and the drive sleeve (SMB-000 actuator). In EDD-191, Flowserve Limitorque concluded that there is no adverse effect on existing environmental and seismic qualifications by the use of the 4140 steel bar.
EDD-191 addresses mechanical properties of the steel bar material, such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and surface hardness. However, the NRC inspection team noted that EDD-191 did not address thermal properties of the steel bar material, such as the thermal coefficient of expansion, when concluding that there is no adverse effect on the environmental qualification by using the 4140 steel bar material. The thermal properties of the material might have an impact on the performance of some of the internal parts of the Limitorque actuators, such as the stem nut and the drive sleeve.
The NRC inspection team identified this issue as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to review the suitability of application of equipment that are essential to the safety-related functions by subjecting design changes to design control measures commensurate with those applied to the original design. Flowserve
11 Limitorque initiated corrective action report (CAR) No. 202210-63407 to address this issue.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion III of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-01 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to apply design control measures for design changes commensurate with those applied to the original design. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not evaluate how the thermal properties of the modified steel bar material might affect the performance of the Limitorque actuator internal parts.
2.
Procurement Document Control and Supplier Oversight a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its procurement document control and supplier oversight programs to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion IV, Procurement Document Control, and Criterion VII, Control of Purchased Material, Equipment, and Services, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques Approved Vendors List (AVL) and a sample of purchase orders (POs), supplier audits, and receipt inspection records.
The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of POs to verify the POs included, as appropriate: the scope of work, right of access to the suppliers facilities, extension of contractual requirements to sub-suppliers, and the applicable technical, regulatory, and quality requirements.
For a sample of supplier audit reports reviewed, the NRC inspection team verified that the audit reports included an audit plan, any findings identified, adequate documented objective evidence of compliance with the applicable requirements, and a review by Flowserve Limitorques responsible management. The NRC inspection team also verified that the supplier audits were performed by qualified auditors. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of training and qualification records of Flowserve Limitorques lead auditors and confirmed that auditing personnel had completed all the required training and had maintained the applicable qualification and certification in accordance with Flowserve Limitorques policies and procedures.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the receipt inspection process with Flowserve Limitorques staff. Flowserve Limitorques staff: (1) demonstrated how the procedures and receipt inspection documentation both supported validation of the requirements against component drawings; and (2) how drawings were controlled in a manner to ensure the status of the drawing could be determined.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the procurement document control and supplier oversight programs with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.

Observations and Findings During the review of a sample of external audits and discussions regarding the audit schedule for vendors on the AVL, the NRC inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque implemented the 25% audit frequency extension due to exigent conditions for one of their vendors. Subsection 11.2.a of Flowserve Limitorques procedure No. LYB-QAP-17.1, Audit Procedure, Revision 32, dated June 9, 2022, states that A documented evaluation must be performed to summarize why the audit or survey could not be performed prior to the end of the 90-day grace period and to provide the basis for maintaining the supplier as an approved supplier during the 25% (9-month) grace period. The NRC inspection team requested the evaluation performed by Flowserve Limitorque to maintain this vendor on the AVL; however, Flowserve Limitorque was not able to provide objective evidence that an evaluation was performed. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because Flowserve Limitorque did not procure any items within the 25% grace period and Flowserve Limitorque performed a full scope audit of the supplier and no findings were identified. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63451 to address this issue.
Some of the measuring and test equipment (M&TE) used by Flowserve Limitorque in safety-related activities is calibrated in-house by an outside vendor listed on their AVL.
Subsection 4.9.4 of Flowserve Limitorques procedure No. LYB-QAP-0006, Purchasing Procedure, Revision 4, dated June 2, 2020, states that Gage Calibration will use form L828, manual shipper to request calibration services from all outside sources, including calibration being performed in-house by an outside source. The gage lab technician shall make the statement The quality requirements of POL40, Rev (fill in revision number) attached are invoked for this procurement/service. When requesting a sample of the POs issued for calibration services performed at Flowserve Limitorques facility to confirm that the applicable regulatory, technical and quality requirements were adequately invoked, the NRC inspection team discovered that Flowserve Limitorque does not issue a PO to these vendors. During discussions with Flowserve Limitorques staff, the NRC inspection team learned that instead of issuing a PO, either Flowserve Limitorque notifies the vendor, or vice versa, that an M&TE is due for calibration. The vendor then proceeds to visit Flowserve Limitorques facility to perform the calibration and the calibration services are charged to Flowserve Limitorques credit card. The NRC inspection team identified this issue as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-02 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to ensure that applicable regulatory requirements, which are necessary to assure adequate quality, are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of services. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63223 to address this issue.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its supplier oversight program in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. With the exception of the minor issue identified above, the NRC inspection team also determined that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its policies and procedures associated with the supplier oversight program.
The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-02 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion IV of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-
13 02 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to ensure that regulatory and other requirements, which are necessary to assure adequate quality, are suitably included or referenced in the documents for procurement of services. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not issue POs with the applicable technical and quality requirements for the calibration services performed in-house for M&TE used in safety-related activities.

Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components and Corrective Action a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its nonconforming materials, parts, or components and corrective action programs to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XV, Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components, and Criterion XVI, Corrective Action, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of Discrepant Material Reports (DMRs) to verify that Flowserve Limitorque: (1) dispositioned the DMRs in accordance with the applicable procedures; (2) documented an appropriate technical justification for various dispositions; and (3) took adequate corrective action with regard to the nonconforming items. DMRs is how Flowserve Limitorque refers to nonconformances.
The NRC inspection team also reviewed a sample of CARs to verify: (1) adequate documentation and description of conditions adverse to quality; (2) an appropriate analysis of the cause of these conditions and the corrective actions taken to prevent recurrence; (3) direction for review and approval by the responsible authority; (4) a description of the current status of the corrective actions; and (5) the actions taken to verify timely and effective implementation of the corrective actions. The NRC inspection team confirmed that the CARs provide a link to the 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance, program.
The NRC inspection team also reviewed Flowserve Limitorques corrective actions in response to Nonconformances 99900100/2018-201-01, 99900100/2018-201-02, 99900100/2018-201-03 identified in the NRCs inspection report No. 99900100/2018-201, dated March 7, 2018 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML18043A150).
The NRC inspection team also discussed the nonconforming materials, parts, or components and corrective action programs with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.

Observations and Findings Corrective Action Associated with Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01 Following the 2018 inspection of Flowserve Limitorque as documented in inspection report (IR) No. 99900100/2018-201, the NRC issued Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to ensure the suitability of materials, parts, equipment, and processes that are essential to the safety-related functions of the safety-related electric actuators. Specifically, as part of its CGD process, Flowserve Limitorque
14 failed to verify the validity of the Certificates of Compliance provided by a commercial sub-supplier, by performing a commercial-grade survey, source surveillance, independent testing, or other acceptable methods, as necessary for ensuring the proper material composition (hardness and tensile strength) of motor shafts used in DC motors and supplied by Flowserve Limitorque as either part of safety-related actuators or sold as replacement parts. In addition, Flowserve Limitorque failed to identify motor torque as a critical characteristic and failed to verify the motor output torque conformed to the associated speed-torque curves for DC motors procured from a commercial supplier and then supplied by Flowserve as a safety-related replacement part.
In its response dated April 17, 2018 (ADAMS Accession No. ML18109A036), Flowserve Limitorque stated it would impart new requirements on the motor OEM and their sub-suppliers to validate raw material certificates of compliance for critical components by laboratory analysis at an independent facility designated by Flowserve Limitorque.
Flowserve Limitorque also stated that Quality Engineering Standard K-12028, Peerless-Winsmith, Inc./Limitorque-Flowserve Critical Characteristic Selection Justification Table for All Nuclear Motor Applications, would be revised to document the requirement for independent material testing of raw materials used in components critical to the motor's function. In addition, Flowserve Limitorque would revise its internal inspection procedure (IP) No. 10.111, Peerless-Winsmith Critical Component Material Testing, to add requirements for material properties verification of the motor shaft and other metallic components identified in the investigation. Quality Control inspectors would be trained in the requirements of the revised inspection procedure.
Furthermore, the response stated that Flowserve Limitorques engineering would generate a technical evaluation to document critical characteristics of motor performance and establish the requirements for verification of those attributes. Flowserve Limitorque would enhance the production test requirements for DC motors to include verification of motor performance at the maximum rated output torque required of the motor. The Routine Motor Test (RMT) review and approval section of Flowserve Limitorque procedure No. QAP 10.4, Procedure for Certificates of Compliance, would be revised to include additional acceptance criteria. The commercial-grade survey checklist contained in IP No. 10.111 would also be revised to include verification of any additional production testing.
Lastly, commercial-grade surveys of the motor OEM would verify that applicable controls are in place with their sub-suppliers to ensure compliance with the requirements for independent verification of material properties. Flowserve Limitorque would ensure critical motor performance characteristics are adequately verified by review of RMT data and by commercial-grade surveys of the motor OEM test facility.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided the objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. Flowserve Limitorques Audit Deficiency Notification (ADN) No. 2018-99900100/2018-201-E-1 describes the response to Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01. The NRC inspection team confirmed that Quality Engineering Standard K-12028 was updated to identify critical attributes for the motor construction, new requirements for independent verification of mechanical properties of raw materials, and critical attributes of motor performance. In addition, IP-10.111 was revised to add verification of the required material testing and motor performance testing, and LYB-QAP-10.4 was revised to include additional acceptance criteria for review of RMT reports (with the exception noted below). The NRC inspection
15 team also confirmed that Flowserve Limitorque performed a commercial-grade survey of the motor OEM test facility.
While most of the corrective actions in ADN No. 2018-99900100/2018-201-E-1 were adequately implemented, the NRC inspection team identified that the revised Flowserve Limitorque procedure No. LYB-QAP-10.40, Procedure for Certificates of Compliance, Revision 8, dated April 23, 2020, did not include motor torque to be measured and verified to conform to the associated speed-torque curve. RMT Data Sheets for Peerless DC motors (such as an RMT report dated January 10, 2019) did not specify the measured motor torque or provide a comparison to the associated speed-torque curve.
Ensuring the motors conform to published speed-torque curves is necessary to ensure the motors can deliver the relied upon torque to operate the motor-operated valve actuators. The NRC inspection team identified this issue as Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to promptly correct conditions adverse to quality. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63407 to address this issue. The NRC inspection team closed Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-01 but is tracking this issue under Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03.
Corrective Action Associated with Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-02 Following the 2018 inspection of Flowserve Limitorque, the NRC issued Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-02 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to maintain sufficient records to furnish evidence of activities affecting quality. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque failed to provide objective evidence covering a period of more than two years between January 2016 and January 2018 that showed that commercial dedicated fasteners procured from a commercial supplier were inspected, and critical characteristics from the items were verified.
In its response dated April 17, 2018, Flowserve Limitorque stated that its internal procedure, QAP 16.1, Handling and Storing Quality Records, would be revised to require all receipt inspection records to be electronically scanned. Inspectors would be trained in use of the scanning sheets and the process for scanning, and verifying records would be properly scanned. In addition, Flowserve Limitorques Quality Assurance (QA) would perform a process audit on receipt inspection files at a minimum of every three months to verify that inspection records are being scanned and are available as evidence that inspections have been performed in accordance with applicable inspection plans.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided the objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. Flowserve Limitorques ADN No.
2018-99900100/2018-201-E-2 describes the response to Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-02. The NRC inspection team confirmed that inspection records dating back to 2016 are retrievable in Flowserve Limitorques electronic system. The NRC inspection team verified that Flowserve Limitorques procedure, QAP 16.1, has been updated to require inspection records to be stored electronically and that Flowserve Limitorque inspectors are trained to the latest revision of QAP 16.1. The NRC inspection team also reviewed the documentation for the process audits conducted in 2018 to verify that inspection records were scanned electronically and were retrievable.
The NRC inspection team determined that Flowserve Limitorques corrective actions were adequately implemented to address Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-02.
16 Based on its review, the NRC inspection team closed Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-02. No findings of significance were identified.
Corrective Action Associated with Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-03 Following the 2018 inspection of Flowserve Limitorque, the NRC issued Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-03 for Flowserve Limitorques failure to perform material testing on commercially-dedicated hardware and fasteners as necessary to confirm the suitability of the parts. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque failed to perform hardness testing on three different stock orders of commercially-dedicated hex head cap screws and keys. In addition, Flowserve Limitorque failed to perform visual inspection to verify elastic stop nuts were manufactured by specific suppliers.
In its response dated April 17, 2018, Flowserve Limitorque stated that all inspectors would be re-trained on all applicable inspection plans used for receipt inspection for fasteners. All fasteners used in safety-related applications would be inspected to the applicable inspection plans and all inspection records would be reviewed and approved by the QA Supervisor.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided the objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. Flowserve Limitorques ADN No.
2018-99900100/2018-201-E-3 describes the response to Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-03. The NRC inspection team verified that in inspection records dated back to 2018, hardness testing and visual inspection were part of the receipt inspection requirement for fasteners and elastic stop nuts, respectively. The NRC inspection team also verified that Flowserve Limitorque inspectors were trained to the latest applicable inspection plans.
The NRC inspection team determined that Flowserve Limitorques corrective actions were adequately implemented to address Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-03.
Based on its review, the NRC inspection team closed Nonconformance 99900100/2018-201-03. No findings of significance were identified.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its nonconforming materials, parts, or components program in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion XV of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed, the NRC inspection team also determined that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its policies and procedures associated with the control of nonconforming materials, parts, or components program. No findings of significance were identified.
The NRC inspection team issued Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03 in association with Flowserve Limitorques failure to implement the regulatory requirements of Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Nonconformance 99900100/2022-201-03 cites Flowserve Limitorque for failing to promptly correct conditions adverse to quality as documented in ADN No. 99900100/2018-201-E-1 and in Flowserve Limitorques official response to the NRC. Specifically, Flowserve Limitorque did not include motor torque to be measured and verified to conform to the associated speed-torque curve in Flowserve Limitorque procedure No. LYB-QAP-10.4, and did not specify
17 the measured motor torque or provide a comparison to the associated speed-torque curve in RMT Data Sheets for Peerless DC motors. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63407 to address this issue.
4.
Commercial-Grade Dedication
- a. Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its commercial-grade dedication (CGD) program to verify their compliance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion III and Criterion VII, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of CGD documents and commercial-grade surveys of several commercial vendors on Flowserve Limitorques AVL. The sample of CGD documents and commercial-grade surveys reviewed was for the commercial-grade dedication of the following items or services: bar stock, castings, DC motors, nuclear grease, fasteners, calibration services, and heat treating services. The documents reviewed included: (1) commercial-grade dedication plans; (2) POs; (3) technical evaluations; (4) checklists; (5) inspection reports; and (6) testing certificates.
The NRC inspection team evaluated the criteria for the identification of item functions, credible failure mechanisms and modes, selection of critical characteristics and acceptance criteria, identification of verification methods, and justification of the sampling methodologies, as applicable, to verify effective implementation of Flowserve Limitorques CGD process. In addition, the NRC inspection team verified that commercial-grade surveys contained the objective evidence necessary to demonstrate the commercial vendors adequately controls the critical characteristics during the fabrication process or service activities. The NRC inspection team confirmed that Flowserve Limitorques CGD process provides reasonable assurance that the items and services being dedicated would perform their intended safety function.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the CGD program with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
- b. Observations and Findings The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques measures established for the use of accreditation in lieu of performing commercial-grade surveys for the procurement of calibration services as part of the CGD process. Flowserve Limitorque implements this process as described in Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI) document No.14-05A, Guidelines for the Use of Accreditation in Lieu of Commercial-Grade Surveys for Procurement of Laboratory Calibration and Test Services, Revision 1, dated September 2020. The NRC staff determined this guidance to be acceptable in a safety evaluation (SE) dated November 23, 2020 (ADAMS Accession No. ML20322A019).
During the review of a sample of receipt inspection records for calibration services performed by an accredited laboratory to the requirements of International Standard Organization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 17025, General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories, the NRC
18 inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque incorrectly listed the conditions from the SE as the critical characteristics required to be verified as part of the CGD process.
The critical characteristics for calibration services are already verified as part of the laboratories accreditation process under ISO/EC 17025-2017 and the conditions from the SE should not be identified as critical characteristics. These conditions are verified as part of the receipt inspection process to ensure that the PO requirements have been met. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because it is a documentation issue and had no impact on the CGD of the calibration services.
Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 02210-63223 to address this issue.
The NRC inspection team noted that receipt inspection for calibration services as part of the CGD process was not being adequately performed. For example, while the laboratorys accreditation scope showed that the calibration laboratories were accredited to the 2017 edition of ISO/IEC 17025, some of the certificates of calibration reviewed stated that the calibration was done in accordance with the laboratories 2005 edition of their ISO/IEC 17025 program. The 2005 edition of ISO/IEC 17025 is no longer valid as it was superseded with the 2017 edition. Further, for a sample of the certificates of calibration or laboratory documentation reviewed, the NRC inspection team noted that none of the documents certified that the PO requirements were met. One of the conditions from the SE states that at receipt inspection, it is validated that: (1) the laboratorys documentation certifies that the calibration was performed in accordance with the laboratorys 2017 edition of ISO/IEC 17025, and (2) that the PO requirements were met. However, the receipt inspection checklist did not identify that these conditions were not met. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because the laboratories were accredited to the 2017 edition of ISO/IEC 17025. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 02210-63223 to address this issue.
In addition, the NRC inspection team noted that another condition from the SE was not included in some of the sample of POs reviewed. Specifically, the condition states that a documented review of the laboratorys accreditation is performed and includes a verification that the laboratorys accreditation was achieved based on an on-site accreditation assessment by the selected accrediting body within the past 48 months.
The laboratory's accreditation cannot be based on two consecutive remote accreditation assessments. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because the laboratories were accredited to the 2017 edition of ISO/IEC 17025 and there have not been any issues identified with the calibration services provided. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 02210-63223 to address this issue. No findings of significance were identified.
During the review of a sample of CGD documents for bar stock and castings, the NRC inspection team noted that Flowserve Limitorque identified heat number and material composition as critical characteristics. The acceptance method for the verification of the heat number was visual inspection, and for the material verification, Flowserve Limitorque would choose a sample and send it to a qualified laboratory in Flowserve Limitorques AVL for testing. The NRC inspection team identified that Flowserve Limitorque did not have documented objective evidence to show that the commercial supplier had established adequate traceability controls (e.g., heat traceability and lot and batch control) and that these controls were effectively implemented. In addition, the NRC inspection team identified that Flowserve Limitorque did not develop and document a technical basis for the selection of the sampling plans sample size. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because Flowserve Limitorque performs testing
19 on the material and conducts operational tests of the final components. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63404 to address this issue.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its CGD program in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion III and Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. With the exception of the minor issues identified above, the NRC inspection team also determined that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its policies and procedures associated with the CGD program.
5.
Control of Special Processes a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its control of special processes program to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion IX, Control of Special Processes, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, and with the requirements of the American Society for Nondestructive Testing (ASNT) SNT-TC-1A, Personnel Qualification and Certification in Nondestructive Testing. Flowserve Limitorques special processes activities are limited to wet fluorescent magnetic particle testing (MT) and coating (painting). There were no safety-related non-destructive examination (NDE) or coating activities performed during the week of the inspection. As such, the NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of completed MT and coating certifications. The NRC inspection team confirmed that the NDE reports and coating certifications contained the required information in accordance with Flowserve Limitorques NDE and coating procedures.
For a sample of training and qualification records for NDE and coating personnel, the NRC inspection team confirmed they were qualified in accordance with the requirements of ASNT SNT-TC-1A and Flowserve Limitorques procedures, as applicable.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the control of special processes with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.

20 6.
Test Control a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its test control program to verify compliance with the requirements of Criterion XI, Test Control, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of Flowserve Limitorques test procedures and test results related to electric actuator production tests.
The NRC inspection team also observed the torque test of an SMB-0 actuator on a Flowserve Limitorque torque stand. While the SMB-0 actuator was not safety-related, the process used by Flowserve Limitorque for testing SMB-0 actuators is the same for safety-related and non safety-related. The NRC inspection team confirmed the torque values specified on the test report were consistent with the torque data traces by checking a sample of direct torque measurements. The NRC inspection team verified the current calibration of the test instrumentation equipment and the torque stand as well as the qualification of the test engineer and test technician.
In addition, the NRC inspection team confirmed the tests were performed using properly calibrated M&TE and verified that Flowserve Limitorques test procedures adequately included the applicable technical, quality, and regulatory requirements. The NRC inspection team also confirmed that the following testing elements were satisfied, verified, and recorded, as appropriate: (1) test parameters and initial conditions; (2) test acceptance criteria; (3) test prerequisites; (4) test instrument range, accuracy, and uncertainty appropriate for the test; (5) current calibration; and (6) any deviations documented and evaluated.
The NRC inspection team discussed the test control program with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
b.
Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its test control program in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion XI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed, the NRC inspection team also determined that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its policies and procedures associated with the test control program. No findings of significance were identified.
- 7. Control of Measuring and Test Equipment a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its M&TE program to verify compliance
21 with the requirements of Criterion XII, Control of Measuring and Test Equipment, of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
For a sample of M&TE, the NRC inspection team determined that the M&TE had the appropriate calibration stickers and current calibration dates, including the calibration due date. The NRC inspection team also verified that the M&TE had been calibrated, adjusted, and maintained at prescribed intervals prior to use. In addition, the calibration records reviewed by the NRC inspection team indicated the as-found or as-left conditions, accuracy required, calibration results, calibration dates, and the due date for recalibration. Furthermore, the NRC inspection team also verified that the selected M&TE was calibrated using procedures traceable to known industry standards. The NRC inspection team confirmed that when M&TE equipment is found to be out of calibration, Flowserve Limitorque proceeds to identify items that have been accepted using this equipment since the last valid calibration date and performs an extent of condition review.
The NRC staff observed the calibration of a number and variety of small and medium gages. The calibration technician ensured that suitable environment conditions were present before conducting the calibration activities. All the calibration standards used were appropriately controlled such that the current calibration status could be determined, all standards and equipment were identified to be within calibration, and only minor adjustments were needed for items undergoing calibration checks.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the M&TE program with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
b.
Observations and Findings During a walkthrough of the manufacturing floor, the NRC inspection team noted that a multimeter in the electrical work area was past two months the calibration due date and had not been sent for calibration or segregated to prohibit its use. The NRC inspection team noted that existing procedures did not contain guidance to trace where the multimeter had been used. Flowserve Limitorque indicated that final inspections conducted would ensure proper measurements for the assembled electrical components and only one individual performs those inspections. Flowserve Limitorque provided the calibration records for the final inspection tool, and the NRC inspection team confirmed that it was currently in calibration. The NRC inspection team determined this issue to be minor because the multimeter was not currently in use at the time, and there was only one example of an M&TE being out of calibration on the manufacturing floor. Flowserve Limitorque initiated CAR No. 202210-63408 to address this issue.
c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its M&TE program in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion XII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50. With the exception of the minor issue identified above, the NRC inspection team also determined that Flowserve Limitorque is implementing its policies and procedures associated with the M&TE program.
22 8.
10 CFR Part 21 Program a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Flowserve Limitorques policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of 10 CFR Part 21 program to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements. In addition, the NRC inspection team evaluated the 10 CFR Part 21 postings and a sample of Flowserve Limitorques POs for compliance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.21, Notification of Failure to Comply or Existence of a Defect and its Evaluation, and 10 CFR 21.31, Procurement Documents.
The NRC inspection team also verified that Flowserve Limitorques nonconformance and corrective action procedures provide a link to the 10 CFR Part 21 program.
Furthermore, for a sample of 10 CFR Part 21 evaluations performed by Flowserve Limitorque, the NRC inspection team verified that Flowserve Limitorque had effectively implemented the requirements for evaluating deviations and failures to comply. The NRC inspection team verified that notifications were performed in accordance with the requirements of 10 CFR 21.21 and Flowserve Limitorques procedure, as applicable.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the 10 CFR Part 21 program with Flowserve Limitorques management and technical staff. The attachment to this inspection report lists the documents reviewed and personnel interviewed by the NRC inspection team.
b.
Observations and Findings No findings of significance were identified.
