Description of Deficiency A QA audit was performed at Atlas Machine and Iron Works on October 13 through 16, 1981, for the purpose of verifying the quality and acceptability of the subject material fabricated under TVA contracts 81K71-821398 and 81K72-821399. Since approximately 75 percent of this material had been shipped and material fabrication for Hartsville Plant A was essentially 99 percent complete, the audit was limited to performing a detailed review of hardware identification and manufacturing records on a selection of pieces determined to be representative of the work

. performed. An examination of these records indicated that the quality of the material supplied on the contracts could not be verified from the manufacturer's records. The deficiencies observed and supported by the evidence examined included various inconsistencies in recording information on shop travelers and failure to provide adequate traceability of welding documentation on items, particularly where multiple wald joints were involved. The following itens are examples observed during the audit which indicate the unacceptable implementation of the basic requirement of preparing sufficient records as work is performed in order to furnish documentary evidence of quality assurance.

1. Numerous undocumented changes to shop travelers in the form of write-overs and opaqued dates with other data recorded in place without recording the date of the change and identification of the person making the change. Examples of data items changed included heat codes, purchase order numbers, heat numbers, dates and initials of personnel performing and verifying operations, types and lot numbers of welding consumables, and procedure numbers.

2. Magnetic Particle Test Reports with errors, insufficient data, and omissions. Examples observed included procedure or procedure-revision level not recorded, interpreter's signature missing, serial number of MT machine used not recorded, and in some cases QC inspector's signature was copied (preprinted). Also, in one example reviewed, the MT inspection repcet was dated prior to the joint weld ~

date.

3 Magnetic Particle Inspection Reports showed weld repairs reinspected; however, traveler did not document repair procedure, repair welder, nor welf consumables used.

4. Changes were made to travelers and additional data was added up to three years after the work was performed.
