Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

Re: 1. E. Bulletins No. 83-07 and 83-07, Supplement 1:

l-Mr. James P. O'Reilly Page 2 December 14, 1983

.(c) AGNS has determined that, to the best of its knowledge, none of the apparently fraudulent material has been installed in any safety-related systems covered by the definition given in 10 CFR

, Part 100, Appendix A, Sections III (c)(1), III (c)(2), and III (c)(3). Additionally, much of such material is still in stock, and has been identified, isolated and tagged.

(d) AGNS nas not identified any other apparently fraudulent material supplied by Ray Miller, Inc. Other than that which the NRC identified in Attachments 1 and 2 to I. E. Bulletin 83-07.

2. As stated in 1.(c) above, the NRC-identified apparently fraudulent mate-rials listed in Attachments 1 and 2 have not been installed in safety-related systems, nor have other instances of either receipt or installation of apparently fraudulent material been identified.

(a) The NRC-identified apparently fraudulent materials were purchased by AGNS as " commercial-grade" items. Such items are not installed in safety-related structures, systems, or components, and are restricted to general service systems. Consequently, in accordance with normal practice, they are purchased without requiring identifying certifica-tions or laboratory testing.

(b) Installed material supplied by Ray Miller, Inc., which later may be identified by AGNS or the NRC program, will be dispositioned according to its effects on the health and safety of the public and on the function of the facility.

3. For all material from Ray Miller, Inc. still in stock:

(a) AGNS has identified and physically isolated all materials presently in its warehouse as having been purchased from Ray Miller, Inc. AGNS has placed in effect controls which require (1) Quality Assurance approval prior to issue: (2) tagging by Quality Control of the material as Ray Miller, Inc.-supplied; and (3) traceability to the point of installation.

(b) For the material included in the fraudulent data file, AGNS will tag or o;.herwise mark the materials for use only in systems not important to safety.

l e' Mr. James P. O'Reilly Page 3 December 14, 1983 (c) For any material supplied by Ray Miller, Inc. that is not included in the fraudulent data file, AGNS will tag or otherwise mark the mate-rials for use only in systems not important to safety.

Sincerely yours, O LAfx
