t JP0/HBT/PFG March 22, 1984 Item 3(c)(3)(1) cont'd:
-demonstrate with 90% confidence that 90% of the material conforms to the purchase specifications. Groups of material found acceptable may be used as desired.
(ii) Perform comprehensive examinations and tests of. a limited sample of each group of identical items. The minimum sample size is to be two items, or 10% of the items in the group, whichever is greater. Examination and test of this limited sample does not provide a high degree of assurance that the entire group satisfies the procurement specifications. The NRC will compile the results of all the data received, determine the statistical significance of the results, and advise industry of the overall results and conclusions. Therefore, a utility should not use this material in systems important to safety until the NRC's evaluation is complete.
