1"98>0e rif Nuclear Regulatory Commission 11555 Rockville Pike Rockville, Maryland 20852 Attention: Mr. Frank J. Miraglia Deputy Director Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation

Dear Mr. Miraglia:

The following is in confirmation of our telephone conference of Tuesday, October 20,1992.

I reported an item of potential concern relating to a recent shipment of THERMO-LAG Preshaped Conduit Sections (0.625 +/- 0.125" thickness) to Texas Utilities Electric Company.

On October 18,1992, Thermal Science met with Texas Utilities personnel in St. Louis to discuss this matter. During an onsite cutting operation of Preshaped Conduit Sections for field installation, an inner strata delamination which included voids running the length of the 3 foot conduit section, was observed. It was verbally reported that as of that date several sections, out of approximately 2000 plus shipped to that date, exhibited a similar phenomenon.

The conduit sections did not exhibit this phenomenon when shipped from our plant in St. Louis. This is based on quality control testing and verification of all products prior to shipment, conducted by both TSI and TU's quality control personnel. TU quality control personnel have been onsite at Thermal Science since the onset of the 1992 procurement.

We immediately commenced an examination of the possible cauas of this discrepancy and remedial action that may be appropriate. We are examining the matter thoroughly and our findings at this early stage are indeterminate.
