Description of Deficiency This deficiency was identified during TVA Vendor Audit 81V-47 conducted at the 4

vendor's facility December 1-3, 1981. During the review of Delaval's corrective action program, it was established that deficiencies identified during customer and internal audits are documented on corrective action request (CAR) forms. The auditor reviewed CARS written as a result of TVA audits 79V-38 (September 1979) and 80V-37 (August 1980) and Delaval internal

audit (March 1981). There was no objective evidence that followup audits were being conducted, but rather proposed corrective action was being accepted as presented. Thus, problem areas identified during these audits still existed.

i Deficiencies identified during audit 79V-38 were still uncloscable due to lack of implementation of proposed corrective action as were deficiencies

, identified during audit 80V-37. The cause of this deficiency was determined to be the failure by TransAmerica Delaval to properly implement its QA program.

Safety Implications Delaval's corrective action system is used to identify generic problems as they would relate to the product and/or QA program. The failure to verify implementation of corrective action required by the corrective action request 1 may allow deficient equipment to be manufactured and delivered to TVA for usage, thereby adversely affecting plant safety.

1 These potential equipment problems identified above address generic areas only. For random problems identified by Delaval's inspectors, inspection reports are used to resolve these. In addition, any random operational abnormalities would surface during the engine testing program. The audit team did not identify any deficiencies in these areas regarding correcting random hardware problems once identified. Where problems could exist is the generic

' type breakdown that would not be readily apparent to inspection and test personnel.

i Corrective Action 1

I TransAmerica Delaval has issued new CARS for the unresolved deficiencies t identified during audits 79V-38 and 80V-37. Implementation of the associated

[ corpective actions .s complete. The vendor will perform an internal audit by 1

March 31, 1982 to verify the effectiveness and completion of all CARS written since January 1, 1980.

i TVA will audit TransAmerica Delaval by April 30, 1982 to verify implementation of the corrective actions stated above. Annual audits will be conducted by TVA which will include assurance that CARS are properly verified _

by-the TransAmerica Delaval QA program.
