Cur~ent Qualific~tion Programs Based on your presentation at the meeting, it is my
. understanding that the NRC will soon issue requests to utilities, vendors and test labs for listings of ongoing and proposed equipment qualification programs to allow the NRC to implement its program of indepth,inspection *and witnessing of selected 1 icensee'/vendo.r qualification test.s.
In response to your verbal request of September 19, listed below is basic information on qualification.programs that

- .your schedule~* Up~n notification from you~ I wfll take the initiative to contact th~ other participating utilities, vendors and test lab to gain their permission to release additional informatirin relative to the program.

- S *l i t er of E PR I, represent i n g the u t i 1 i t y members, ask e d me to serve*as utility coordinator of.the EPRI/UtilityEquipment Qualification Owners G~oup.
I have accepted the invitation to serve in this capacity*
and as such will be available to you and member~ of your staff to f a c il i t at e t h e f low of i n f o rm a: t i o n bet wee n t h e i n d u s t r y a n d. th e N R C i n the specific area of.equipment qualification.
G. Sliter will continue to coordinate the research aspects of EPRI funded wort.
- The Owners Gr.oup meets twice a year, usually during the months of :May and November,
~ith an average.repre$entation of.approxfmately thirty utilities.
In the past,* many utilities have optioned to send different people to ~uccesive meetings with the result that overall continuity has not been mai.ntained.
At the information exchange meetings held with the NRC in June and September of this year, the industry was rep~es~nted by an informal.ad hoc committees made up of individuals who
.are. both* active _in 'the field arid who have attended most, if not al 1, of the EPRI sponsored equipment qualification meetings.
Approximately ten utilities are repres~nted on this committee giving it a good cross
. section of operating experience and providing it with a good ba~e of
. technical experience.
If information ~xchange ~eeting are required in the futur~ it is my intention to invite the members of the ad.hoc committee to represen~ the industrj together with G. Sliter of EPRI.
Any ~orrespondence sh~uld be sent to my attenti6n at:
