MAR 2 S 333 Mr. Lars Nordstrom Statens Karnkraftinspektion Box 27106 5-102 52 Stockholm, Sweden

Dear Mr. Nordstrom:

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has recently initiated a major study of methods for improving the quality of construction of nuclear power plants.

One part of this study includes a review of existing and alternative approaches to assuring quality in parformance as practiced by the non-nuclear industry in the United States and as practiced by the nuclear industry in other countries.

The purpose of the study is to ascertain what improvements may or should be made to the quality assurance programs required by the NRC, based on the review and study of other programs.

My purpose in writing to you is to request your assistance and participation in helping us come to a better understanding and awareness of how quality assur-ance programs and activities are structured, organized, practiced and integrated in the Swedish nuclear power program.

In April of this year, Mr. Richard Kleckner, a consultant to the NRC, will be in Sweden on personal business.

We would like to take advantage of his being there to arrange meetings for Mr. Kleckner with representatives of the Swedish Nuc1 car Power Inspectorate and other Swedish experts to discuss the Swedish approach to assuring quality in the construction of nuclear power plants.

A Mr. Kleckner will be in Sweden on April 21 and 22,1983.

If these dates are suitable to you, I would appreciate your identifying the cognizant personnel in the Swedish nuclear power program (both government and/or industry personnel as you deem approprinte) and taking the arrr.ngments for Mr. Kleckner to reet with these individuals.

I assume that Stockholm would be the location for these c,eetings, but please advise if other locations would be more suitable.

Please advise if these dates and arrangerents will be convenient to you.

In identifying the date, time, and location of these reetings, it would also be nost helpful if you could suggest hotel accorredations which would be convenient for Mr. Kleckner.

Dr. Willard Altman, Office of Inspection ard Enforcenent, is the NRC manager with overall responsibility for these quality assurance studies.

Dr. Altman can serve as your technical contact should you have any questiens concerning our request for your assistance.
