Gentlemen:
This letter supplements
our letter of March 12,
1981 regarding Inspection
Report
Ho. 50-315/80-20aand
50-316/80-16
forwarded by our letter dated
January 23, 1981.
Mith regard to Item
1 of Appendix A of the subject letter we will examine
this matter during a subsequent
inspection.
With regard to your response
to Item 2 of Appendix A, we feel that
a mis-
understanding
has
been created
Qy a misstatement
contained in Item 4.c.
of the Details section of the inspection report.
Specifically, the worl
'accuracy'as
inappropriately used,
where the intended
meaning
was
'Precision!'tem 4,c should
have read as follows:
....Reference
values provide
a basis for establishing
acceptable
instrument precision not only to comply with
ASME Section XI requirements,
but to provide confidence
in test data
used to measure
pump performance
and estab-
lish pump operability.
It was not our intent to challenge your ability to comply with paragraphs
IMP 4110 'guality'r IMP 4113 'Calibration's
addressed
in your response.
Paragraph
IMP 4111 '.Range'tates,
"The full scale
range of each instrument
shall
be not greater
than four times the reference value"...
It is our
position that compliance with paragraphs
IMP 4110 and
IMP 4111 together,
assures
a nominal precision with which pump inlet pressure
is measured.
The maximum range requirement of paragraph
IMP 4111 is expressed
in terms
of the reference
value required to be established
in accordance
with
paragraph
IMP 3110.
