(
This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. Sutton of this office on September 7, 1972, of quality assurance and site preparation activities relative to the Zimmer site and to the discussion of our
.
findings at the conclusion of the inspection with Messrs. Rothenberg,
{
l Pandorf, pnd Flynn of your staff.
Areas examined during the inspection included the nuclear steam supply (NSS) system primary coolant piping and components receiving inspection and storage procedures, the status of site preparation activities, quality documentation to be supplied by the General l
Electric Company for components and equipment manufactured by General Electric, and storage facilities being used for the storage of Class I equipment and components currently at the site. Within these areas, the inspection consisted of selective examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with Cincinnati Gas and Electric Company personnel, and observations by the inspector.
No items of noncompliance with AEC requirements were identified t
within the areas examined during this inspection.
'
With regard to questions raised during this inspection, we understand that you intend to: (1) revise the Zimmer Quality Assurance Manual to identify the scope and type of quality documentation to be received at the site with respect to General Electric manufactured NSS system components and equipment, and (2) change the Kaiser Engineering, Incorporated, receiving procedures to reflect this QA Manual revision. We will examine your action on this matter during out next routine inspection.
