jgg 0 5 1982 Docket No. 99900403/81-03 General Electric Company Nuclear Energy Business Operations ATTil: Mr. W. H. Bruggeman Vice President and General Manager 175 Curtner Avenue San Jose, CA 95125 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of Deccaber 8,1981, in response to our letter dated November 16, 1981. We note with concern that you do not concur with the nonconfomance identified in NRC inspection report 99900403/81-03 and that you nave concluded that no corrective or preventive measures are therefore required.
We have reviewed our records of the inspection and your response, and conclude that the identified nonconformance is valid.
Our records indicate that the specific Material Requests (MRs) identified by the inspector during the inspection as incomplete, improperly identi-fied or missing were brought to the attention of the cognizant GE procurement and Quality Control Engineering personnel during the inspection. The fact that you subsequently verified that the incorrect purchase order number (AJ985) exhibited on revisions 6 and 7 of MR AJ985 was corrected to XF708 and XF 750, respectively and that revision 6 of MR AJ985 and revision 0 of MR LS-9-3-5 were contained in the files as required, is indicative of the responsivenass of GE to NRC identified deficiencies.
With respect to item 1.a of the Notice of Nonconformance, QA record < copies of 31 examined MRs did not exhibit the requisite purchase order number, buyer number and account number as required. Our concern is not that a few specific MRs were incomplete, improperly identified or missing. As discussed with your staff during the exit meeting, we are concerned that as a result of not adhering to the existing procedural requirements, purchase orders that are issued as a result of hrs may not receive the required review ty cognizant engineering and quality assurance personnel and thus may not in-clude all of the technical and quality requirements contained in the FR.
