President One Harmon Plaza Secaucus, New Jersey 07094 p,
Gentlemen:
This refers to the inspection conducted by D. F. Fox of this office on November 17-18, 1981, of your facility at Secaucus, New Jersey, associated with the design of component supports and to the discussions of our findings with you and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
This inspection was made in concert with an inspection of Nuclear Power Services, Inc. as a result of concerns expressed to the NRC pertaining to possible errors and deficiencies in the design of component supports which could result in the failure of supports being provided to the Texas Electric Generating Company, Comanche Peak Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2.
Areas examined and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report.
Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.
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.
The Notice of Violation is sent to you pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR Part 2.201.
You are required to submit to this office within 30 days from the date of this letter, a written statement containing, (1) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to correct the items, (2) a description of steps that have been or will be taken to prevent recurrence, and (3) the dates your corrective actions and preventive measures were or will be completed.
Consideration may be given to extending your response time for good cause shown.
You are also requested to submit a similar written statement for the item in the enclosed Notice of Nonconformance.

by an affidavit executed by the owner of the information which identifies the
~
document or part sought to be withheld, and which contains a full statement of the reasons on the basis which it is claimed that the information should be withheld from public disclosure.
