Gentlemen:
-
This is in reply to your letter of September 8, 1972, responding to
our letter of August 24, 1972. We have no questions at-this time con-
cerning your actions in response to our let.ter.
These matters will be
reviewed during subsequent inspections.
We do desire to comment on your items 1 and 3.
With regard to Item 1, we believe that the basis for our concern of the
independence of the quality control supervisor is acceptably established.
!
At th3 time that this individual was que".tioned by Atomic Energy Commission
i
representatives he no longer was employ :ct by you and had no reason to be
'
less than truthful in his statements to AEC representatives. Regardless
l
of formal organizational relationships, this individual stated that he
had felt the pressure for production and this pressure was at least
partial motivation for his alteration of the radiographs.
l
With regard to Item 3, our main concern was the failure to follow the
j
procedures to qualify two individuals who were reviewing radiographs for
alterations.
We noted in our examination of your qualification test data
'
sheets an absence of an indication that the test data sheets had been
-
reviewed by an authorized person grading and conducting the tests.
For
data sheets of this type, we would accept either initials or signature as
evidence of review.
If you desire to discuss these matters further, please contact me.
,
Very truly yours,
I
