Response
Our investigation concluded that Ray Miller, Inc. is not an approved vendor, and no material has been purchased from that company for use at Salem, nor have any of the companies listed in Item la above provided material supplied by Ray Miller, Inc.
To preclude any inappropriate use of material supplied by vendors that obtain material from Ray Miller, Inc., PSE&G has taken the following actions:
1.
Vendor mill test reports are examined to determine the vendor's source.
2.
0A Receiving Control has been instructed to segregate and tag any material that vendors obtain from Ray Miller, Inc.
Such' material will not be installed in safety-related systers pending disposition of the deficiency reports.
The Bulletin identifies a general concern that some vendors may substitute substandard or nonconforming materials and provide fraudulent documentation.
PSE&G will implement measures to
-prevent fraudulent practices and intercept substandard materials.
Additionally, we will require that vendors also take actions to prevent fraudulent practices.
These measures and schedules for implementing them are as follows1
