welding requirements

The
apparent failure of the welds to comply with procedural
and
code
requirements
brings into question whether sufficient contractor
management
and oversight controls existed at the
HVAC contractor during the period the
components
were fabricated.
Please provide your response
to the Notice of
Violation, including any additional steps or corrective action that you have
taken to assure
that
HVAC contractor welding inspectors
were properly
qualified,
and to assure that other components
fabricated during this period
complied with design requirements.
Your response
to this Notice is to be submitted in accordance
with the
provisions of 10 CFR 2.201
as stated in Appendix A, Notice of Violation.
In accordance
with 10 CFR 2.790(a),
a copy of this letter and the enclosure
will be placed in the
NRC Public Document
Room.
The responses
directed by this letter and the accompanying Notice are .not
subject to the clearance
procedures
of the Office of Management
and Budget
as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980,
PL 96-511.
