MAY 2 8 1981 MEMORANDUM FOR:

R. F. Heishman, Acting Director, Division of Resident and Project Inspection J. F. Streeter, Acting Director, Enforcement and Investigation Staff FROM:

A. Bert Davis, Deputy Director

SUBJECT:

GAP LETTER REQUESTING WORK STOPPAGE AT ZIMMER In your response to this request from GAP, please include the following thoughts.

If you disagree with them, please discuss your disagreements with me.

1.

State that the GAP submittal has been reviewed for any new information.

If there is new information, identify it and state that the information will be pursued.

2.

State that at this time we believe there is no basis for stopping work at Zit=ne r.

Rather than stopping work, the important considerations are:

a.

To assure future work is properly controlled, b.

to assure past quality problems are corrected, c.

to assure that any ongoing work will not compromise the correction of past quality problems.

3.

State that actions have been taken or are in progress to assure these considerations are met.

Should the licensee fail in either consideration 2.a. or 2.b. or if consideration 2.c. becomes a problem, the need for stopping work will be reconsidered.

If you have any questions on the information contained above, I will be pleased to discuss it with you.

I suggest we plan to send our reply letter to GAP by June 12, 1981.
