Jacobs, D; Hardy, D B

As part of the determination of a products conformance to design definition, as defined in the product specification, and the capability of the production facility to produce product of the required quantity and quality, as determined by facilities equipment processes and controls, a Tool Made Sample (TMS) is required. TMS is evaluated under the direction of Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque (SNLA), and verifies that the performance of the product meets design requirements. Production of product is authorized with an acceptable Qualification Evaluation Release (QER). This report describes the TMS failure which occurred when testing the MC3714 Thermal Battery Part No. 318936-00, at GE Neutron Devices (GEND) during the week of October 17, 1988, and the subsequent evaluation program leading to a design change and an acceptable TMS the week of December 5, 1988. 19 figs., 6 tabs.
