was repaired at the licensee's

direction.

The inspector stated that he would close this matter

as

an unresolved

item and would identify it as

a noncompliance.

This matter is discussed

under paragraph

3d of this report.

The fallowing are examples of unacceptable

undercut:

The undetected

unacceptable

undercut discussed

in paragraph

3b and 3c

above indicate that the contractor

and fabricator did not inspect in

that area

and the licensee's
