Region II - Suite 3100 50-424 101 Marietta Street 50-425 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Attention: Mr. James P. O'Reilly File: X7BC24 Log: GN-329 Gentlemen:

The following is submitted in response to I&E Bulletin 83-07, "Apparently Fraudulent Products Sold by Ray Miller, Inc.:"

Due to its depth and magnitude, Georgia Power Company has been unable to complete its evaluation of this matter within the time allotted in the Bulletin. By reviewing the information provided in the attachments to the Bulletin, Georgia Power Company identified thirteen primary suppliers which may have provided materials from Ray Miller, Inc. These suppliers were contacted and requested to research their records to identify any material supplied to the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant which originated from Ray Miller, Inc. From information provided by the suppliers we were able to identify the following materials from Ray Miller, Inc.:

(1) One ten foot section of Schedule 40 S/S 304L 1 1/4" pipe was supplied by Modern Welding Company, Inc. This material was used in the fabrication of sumps but was subsequently scrapped because the sumps failed to meet specification requirements.

(2) Eight 3/4" 3000# SCRD couplings tagged 7068, two 6" 150#

WNRF 40S 304 flanges, two 6" 90LR 405 304L elbows and two 4" 90SR 40S 304L elbows were used in the fabrication of the vacuum degasifier in the Unit 1 Auxiliary Feed-waterSystem(PlantEquipmentNo.1-1302-D4-001-E01).

This equipment is non-safety-related.

(3) Eight 3/4" 3000#tSCRD couplings tagged 7069, two 4" 90EL '

40S 304L elbows, and four 4" 150# WNRF flanges were used in the fabrication of the vacuum degasifier in the Unit 1 Reactor Makeup Water Storage Tank and Degasifier System (Plant Equipment No. 1-1228-D4-001-E01). This equipment is non-safety-related.

Georgia Power Company; through its architect / engineer, Bechtel Power Corporation; is now expanding its investigation of this concern to its sub-tier suppliers. Bechtel has advised that the investigation is ex-pected to be completed by June 15, 1984. Attachment "a" to this letter shows the schedule for completing the investigation and Attachment "b" provides a step-by-step plan of action. Georgia Power Company expects to provide the NRC with a report of the final results of the investiga-tion on or about June 24, 1984.

This reply contains no proprietary information and may be placed in the NRC's Public Document Room.
