Team Member W. E. Jones, State of Utah Team Member R. A. Chapman, Authorized Nuclear Inspector Specialist (ANIS) (Factory Mutual Engineering of Arkwright-Boston) Team Member P. M. Howe, Authorized Nuclear Inspector (ANI) (Factory Mutual Engineering of Arkwright-Boston) Team Member D. A. Kennedy, AIA Observer This survey team appears to be in conformance with the team makeup as described in the SCNC Procedures Manual, Appendix I, Table 1.

Presurvey Questionnaire Review The vendor (Pittsburgh-Des Maines Steel Company (PDM)) requested this survey for renewal of their N and NPT Certificates.
The survey team reviewed the questionnaire submitted to the Society (ASME) by PDM.
The survey team determined that the application for N and NPT Certifi-cates is in compliance with the ASME require =ents.
C.
Manual Review and Acceptance Criteria The entire survey team performed a detailed review of the PDM (corporate)
Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) to evaluate its acceptability relative to the N and NPT requirements set forth in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code,Section III.
The survey team determined that the applicant's manual will require a number of revisions, deleticns, additions and clarifications before the team can recommend it as an acceptable program for the authorizations requested.
The team leader and the ANIS presented the reco= mended manual changas to the PDM management.
The PDM management agreed to the proposed changes.
Copies of the revised manual were submitted to the team leader and the ANIS prior to the conclusion of the survey. The revised portions of the manual were reviewed b the team leader and the ANIS and were found to be satisfactory.
