Dear Mr. Gagliardo:
This letter is written in response to your letter of November 22, 1983, which transmitted Inspection Report STN 50-482/83-25. As requested, the violation identified in the Inspection Report is being addressed in three parts:
a) The corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved; b) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations; and c) The date when full compliance will be achieved.

Mr.LJ.E. Gagliardo KMLNRC 83-166 December 22, 1983 Finding ' -(continued) :
" Welding of structural members shall be. in accordance with
- American Welding Society (AWS) ' D.l.l."
AWS D l.1-75, paragraph 5.5.2, requires that when essential-
.. changes are made in a welding procedure, a new procedure must be established by ~ qualification.
Paragraph.5.5.2.1, for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW),. further defines the omission of. backing material as an eccential change.
Daniel International Corporation (DIC) Technique Sheet N-1-1-A-18 is qualified for AWS plug welds for the SMAW process using the mating surface of the lapped material as a backing material.
. Con *,rary to the 'above, DIC Technique Sheet N-1-1-A-18 was used for raetoration of mislocated holes in Pieco A of HVAC Hanger 2070 by plug welding with the omission of backing material, without establishing a new procedure by qualification.
t Response:-
a) Corrective steps which have been taken and results achieved:
Nonconformance Report (NCR) #1SN 14786 MW has been generated to document the identified concern and to provide appropriate' controls to assure satisfactory resolution. The NCR requires an evaluation of the
~
acceptability of the affected material as well as an investigation into the extent of the identified-concern.
'b) Corrective steps which will be taken to avoid further violations:
- Daniel is currently retraining craft supervision in the proper-use of welding technique N-1-1-A-18.
In addition, the Daniel. Project Welding Engineer will initiate a letter that will emphasize the importance of contacting Welding Superintendents or Welding Engineering when questions arise concerning welding or the use of welding techniques.
