4 REPORT DETAILS 1.
Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components and Corrective Action a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Velans 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, 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. The NRC inspection team verified that Velans processes and procedures provide for the identification, documentation, segregation, evaluation, and disposition of nonconforming items. These processes also apply the principles of rework/repair, use-as-is, scrap/salvage, return to vendor, or no defect found.
The NRC inspection team reviewed a sample of Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) and confirmed that Velan: (1) dispositioned the NCRs in accordance with the applicable procedures; (2) documented an appropriate technical justification for the dispositions; and (3) took adequate corrective action regarding the nonconforming items to prevent recurrence. In addition, the NRC inspection team verified that the nonconforming materials, parts, or components process provides a link to the 10 CFR Part 21, Reporting of Defects and Noncompliance, program.
The NRC inspection team also reviewed a sample of Corrective Action Reports (CARs) and confirmed that the CARs contained, as applicable: (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. In addition, the NRC inspection team verified that the corrective action process provides a link to the 10 CFR Part 21 program.
Furthermore, the NRC inspection team reviewed Velans corrective actions in response to the inspection findings identified in the NRCs inspection report (IR) No. 99900061/2017-201, dated June 5, 2017 (Agencywide Documents Access and Management System (ADAMS) Accession No. ML17142A142).

Observations and Findings b1. Corrective Action Associated with Violation 99900061/2017-201-01 Following the May 2017 inspection at Velan as documented in NRC IR No. 99900061/2017-201, the NRC issued one violation and two nonconformances: Violation 99900061/2017-
5 201-01, Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-02, and Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-03. Violation 99900061/2017-201-01 was issued for Velans failure to specify in procurement documents for suppliers of safety-related materials and services that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 apply. Specifically, Velan imposed in the purchase order (POs) that suppliers meet procedure VEL-QCI-561, The Application of U.S. NRC Regulations 10 CFR Part 21 as applicable to Non-US Suppliers, Revision 0, dated January 3, 1978, rather than imposing the applicable requirements of 10 CFR Part 21. Velan developed this procedure to address the fact that Velans international suppliers do not implement a program that meets the requirements of 10 CFR Part 21 and therefore will not accept POs that impose 10 CFR Part 21. This procedure relieved Velans suppliers from their responsibilities under 10 CFR Part 21 and required the suppliers to notify Velan of any deviations identified in the materials or services supplied to Velan.
In a letter dated October 16, 2017 (ADAMS Accession No. ML17305A053), Velan stated that its Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 Quality Manual, VEL-QC-155, would be revised to clarify the requirements for invoking 10 CFR Part 21 on Velans suppliers, according to the type of controls necessary. In addition, VEL-QC-155 would be updated to provide adequate guidance on all options available to Velan for procurement of commercial grade or safety-related items that are incorporated into basic components for the nuclear industry, under the controls established in Velans program for design, assembly, test, etc. Velan also stated that VEL-QCl-561 would be cancelled.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided the objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. The NRC inspection team verified that VEL-QC-155 was revised and now provides clarifying guidance on the requirements for invoking 10 CFR Part 21 on Velans suppliers and verified that VEL-QCl-561 was canceled. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed a limited sample of POs for international suppliers and noted the Velan is no longer imposing VEL-QCI-561 or relieving Velans suppliers from their responsibilities under 10 CFR Part 21.
The NRC inspection team determined that Velans corrective actions were adequately implemented to address Violation 99900061/2017-201-01. Based on its review, the NRC inspection team closed Violation 99900061/2017-201-01. No findings of significance were identified.
b.2. Corrective Action Associated with Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-02.
Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-02 was issued for Velans failure to include the applicable regulatory requirements in its safety-related procurement documents for materials and services procured as basic components that are necessary to ensure that adequate quality is suitably included or referenced. Specifically, Velan did not impose the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in its safety-related POs for materials and services procured as basic components. Rather than imposing Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50, Velan states in the POs that the work must be performed in accordance with the suppliers quality assurance (QA) manual approved by Velan. The NRC inspection team noted examples of materials and services procured without the imposition of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 in the POs. The POs shall specify compliance with the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 to ensure that adequate QA is applied and to ensure that Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 is adequately passed down to the sub-suppliers.
In a letter dated October 16, 2017, Velan stated that VEL-QC-155 would be updated to
6 provide adequate guidance on all options available to Velan for the procurement of commercial grade or safety-related items. In addition, Velan would be canceling VEL-QCl-561.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. The NRC inspection team verified that: (1) VEL-QC-155 was revised and now provides clarifying guidance on the requirements for invoking Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21 on Velans suppliers, and (2) clarified the type of controls necessary for each classification of supplier. The NRC inspection team also verified that VEL-QCl-561 was canceled. In addition, the NRC inspection team reviewed a limited sample of POs for safety related suppliers and noted the Velan is imposing the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21 on their safety-related suppliers.
The NRC inspection team determined that Velans corrective actions were adequately implemented to address Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-02. Based on its review, the NRC inspection team closed Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-02. No findings of significance were identified.
b.3. Corrective Action Associated with Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-03 Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-03 was issued for Velans failure to establish adequate measures for source evaluation and selection of contractors and subcontractors and failed to establish adequate measures to obtain objective evidence of quality furnished by the contractors or subcontractors. Specifically, the NRC inspection team identified several instances in which the audit checklists did not provide sufficient objective evidence to support the conclusion that the suppliers had met the applicable requirements of Subsection NCA-3850, Quality System Program Requirements, of Subsection NCA, General Requirements for Division 1 and Division 2, of Section III, Rules for Construction of Nuclear Facility Components, of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Boiler & Pressure Vessel (B&PV) Code. The NRC inspection team noted that the checklist requirements were identified as being met, however, there was no additional information provided within the checklist to support the auditors conclusion that the applicable NCA-3850 requirement was met. The NRC inspection team also noted that the checklists did not provide a clear connection to the applicable requirements of NCA-3850. In addition, the NRC staff noted that the auditors findings were often cited against the requirements of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008, Quality management systems - Requirements, and ISO/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 17025:2005, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, and not against the applicable requirement of NCA-3850.
For material for components of 2 or less of nominal pipe size, Velan has been procuring these materials as basic components from commercial suppliers. Since this material is exempted from the applicable requirements of Section III of the ASME B&PV Code, Velan has not been conducting a supplier audit to verify and document the effectiveness of the suppliers quality program to meet the requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 and 10 CFR Part 21, or conducting any additional verification or acceptance activities to ensure that the components would perform their intended safety-related function.
The NRC inspection team determined that the external audits performed by Velan on their Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50 safety-related suppliers did not contain sufficient objective
7 evidence to conclude that Velan had verified that the suppliers had passed down the applicable technical and regulatory requirements from the POs to their sub-suppliers.
In a letter dated October 16, 2017, Velan stated that it would train its Lead Auditors to ensure that the audit checklists will be completed to the extent necessary to support the audit recommendations. In addition, Velan would implement additional tests and examinations of at least one piece for each heat of material. Furthermore, Velan stated that audit checklists would be revised to add sufficient questions on this subject. VEL-QC-155 would be revised to provide adequate guidance on all options available for Velans procurement of commercial grade or safety-related items that are subsequently incorporated into basic components for the nuclear industry. In addition, Velan would be canceling VEL-QCl-561.
The NRC inspection team reviewed the documentation that provided the objective evidence for the completion of the corrective actions. The NRC inspection team verified that auditors were trained, and that audits checklist were completed to the extent necessary to support the audit requirements for the scope being audited. The NRC inspection team reviewed a limited sample of audits and verified the Velans checklists have sufficient objective evidence to support the activity audited.
The NRC inspection team determined that Velans corrective actions were adequately implemented to address Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-03. Based on its review, the NRC inspection team closed Nonconformance 99900061/2017-201-03. No findings of significance were identified.
c. Conclusion
The NRC inspection team concluded that Velan is implementing its nonconforming materials, parts, or components and corrective action programs in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion XV and Criterion XVI of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
Based on the limited sample of documents reviewed, the NRC inspection team also determined that Velan is implementing its policies and procedures associated with its nonconforming materials, parts, or components and corrective action programs. No findings of significance were identified.

Procurement Document Control and Supplier Oversight a.
Inspection Scope The NRC inspection team reviewed Velans policies and implementing procedures that govern the implementation of its procurement document control and supplier oversight programs to verify compliance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion IV, Procurement Document Control, and Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
The NRC inspection team reviewed Velans approved vendor list (AVL), and a sample of POs, supplier audits and commercial-grade surveys, job travelers, and receipt inspection records. For the sample of POs reviewed, the NRC inspection team verified that the POs included, as appropriate: (1) the scope of work, (2) right of access to the suppliers facilities, and (3) conditions and restrictions imposed on the sub-suppliers. The NRC inspection team confirmed that the POs adequately invoked the applicable technical, regulatory, and quality requirements. In addition, the NRC inspection team verified that for the sample of receipt inspection records reviewed (e.g., receipt inspection reports, Certificates of Compliance, and Certificate of Calibration), these records were: (1) reviewed by Velan for compliance with the requirements of the POs, (2) the records were approved by qualified individuals, and (3) the records contained the applicable technical and regulatory information. The NRC inspection team also performed a walkdown of the receipt inspection and quality control inspection area.
The NRC inspection team selected a sample of suppliers from the AVL to review the methodology for conducting and documenting audits to verify adequate evaluation of the suppliers controls for meeting the applicable requirements of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part
- 50. For the sample of supplier audits reviewed, the NRC inspection team confirmed the following: (1) the audit reports included an audit plan; (2) audits were performed according to established frequency; (3) audit reports included adequate documented objective evidence of compliance with the applicable requirements; and (4) the audit documentation was reviewed by Velans responsible management.
The NRC inspection team also discussed the procurement document control and supplier oversight programs with Velans 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 the review a of sample of commercial-grade surveys, the NRC inspection team noted that Velan performed one fully remote commercial-grade survey of a supplier of microbiological testing and high-quality water verification. This supplier tests the water used in the hydro tests performed by Velan. During discussions with Velan's staff, the NRC inspection team learned that this was a new supplier for Velan which was unable to allow Velan on property to perform the survey at that time. Velan did not have programmatic controls in place in their QA program to allow them to utilize NRC approved guidance to conduct remote surveys during exigent conditions (ADAMS Accession No. ML21161A201).
The NRC inspection team determine this issue to be minor because Velan performed additional tests and inspections of the valves (i.e., Method 1) before the valves are shipped which demonstrated that there was no degradation of the valves. Velan initiated CAR No.
2023-NRC-03 to address this issue. No findings of significance were identified.
11 c.
Conclusion The NRC inspection team concluded that Velan is implementing its procurement document control and supplier oversight programs in accordance with the regulatory requirements of Criterion IV and Criterion VII of Appendix B to 10 CFR Part 50.
