Mr. U. Potapovs described the current NRC philosophy of direct inspection of licensee contractors and vendors. He presented a brief history of the vendor inspection program, its organization, responsibilities, and purpose.
Mr. C. J. Hale described the mechanics of vendor inspections including scope of inspections, conduct and documentation of inspection, types of findings and proper method of response, the White Book, and which documents would be placed in the Public Document Room.
Mr. Cooley and Mr. R. J. Stuart described the EPS Nuclear organ-c.
izational strecture as being of the classical matrix organiza-tion with all engineering activities related to nuclear projects being projectized according to function.
EDS Nuclear primary service to nuclear clients is engineering analysis and design with operational services to complement their primary service. Their nuclear clients are aulut evenly divided between architech engineering firms and electric utility firms.
Essentially 100% of the EDS Nuclear activity is related to nuclear project engineering activities; however, very little, if any, relates to nuclear project procurement activities.
EDS Nuclear has an eastern and a western division. The western division is the largest and is the San Francisco Office. The eastern division consists of a New York Office, Paris France Office, and an Atlanta, Georgia Office just recently op ened.
The EDS Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual governs the quality related activities at all offices; however, each nuclear project does have client-unique characteristics.
d.
In addition to the foregoing topics, EDS Nuclear was advised that an inspection team would be in their offices (San Francisco) on September 12, 1979, to look briefly at their activities rela-tive to IE Bulletin No. 79-14, Seismic Analysis for As-Built Safety-Related Piping Systems.
