This inspection was made as a result of an allegation received by this office in March, 1986. The allegation states that your QC Department did not perform proper metal composition or pressure tests on high pressure valves supplied to nuclear power plants in the early 1980s. This allegation was not substantiated.

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the en-closed report. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and obser-vations by the inspector.
During the inspection it was found that the provisions of 10 CFR Part 21 were not part of your procurement process for purchase of calibration services for netallurgical testing equipment and temperature monitoring devices. In addition, the environmental conditions for operation of the optical emission spectrometer were not being maintained as required.
