This refers to the inspection conducted by Mr. W.

This inspection was made as a result of:
(1) identification of potential binding problems with National Electrical Manufacturers Association Size 3 motor control starters and contactors at the Watts Bar Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; (2) failure of Type J, 15 and 30 amperes control transformer fuses in the 480 volt motor control centers supplied to the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; (3) initiation of the supply feeder trip sequence due to an erroneous undervoltage condition detected by the alternating current relays used in the 6.9 kilovolt switchgear supplied to the Bellefonte Nuclear Power Station, Units 1 and 2; and (4) assembly problems with Type JG, JL and KM circuit breakers.
Additionally, the following areas were inspected:
(1) follow up on noncon-formances; (2) implementation of 10 CFR Part 21; (3) organization (limited);
(4) manufacturing process control (limited); and (5) change control (limited).
During the inspection it was found that the implementation of your QA program failed to meet certain NRC requirements.
The specific findings and references to the pertinent requirements are identified in the enclosures to this letter.
