- 1. The second sentence of paragraph C.3 should be amenced to reaa:
"The water quality for final flushes of fluid systems and associated components sha'l be at least equivalent to the quality required for normal operation.
This reautrement does not apply to disolved oxygen or nitrogen limits nor does it infer that chromates or other additives normally in the system water will be added to the flush water."
- 2. Paragraph C.4 should be amended to add:
Material such as inks, temperature indicating crayons, labels, wrapping materials (other than polyethylene), water soluble materials, lubricants, NDT penetrant materials and couplants, which contact stainless steel or nickle alloy material surfaces snall contain no more tnan trace elements of lead, :'inc, copper, mercury or other low melting alloys or compounds. Maximum allowable levels of water leachable chloride ions, total halogens and sulfur compcunds shall be defined and imposed on the aforementicned materials.
- 3. Section 2.1 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states that required planning is frequently performed on a generic basis for application to many installations on one or more projects. This results in standard procedures or plans for installation and inspection and testing which meet the requirements of the Standard. Indivicual plans for each item or system are not normally prepared unless the work operations are unique. However, standard procedures or plans will be reviewed for applicability in each case. Installation plans or procedures are also limited in scope to those actions or activities which are essential to maintain or achieve required quality. This is consistent with Secti n? 11 Paragraphs 2 and 3 cf ANSI N45.2-1977 which provides for examination, measuremant or testing to assure quality or indirect control by monitoring of processing methods.
However, final cleaning or flushing activities will be performed in accordance with procedures specific to the systen. 103.0 3900L

5. Section 3.1.2.1 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states th3t surfaces shall be examined without magnification under a IIghting level (background plus supolementary lighting) of at least 100 foot candles. GPUN intends to permit the use of neutral 137. gray card with a 1/32" black line for determining acceptability of illumination in lieu of the 100 foot candles. 6. Section 4.0 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states that items are not to be delivered to the pcint of installation socner than necessary unless the installation location is considered a better storage area. The strategy for the storage of items is based on many factors, one of which is to not adversely affect the item's acceptability wnile in storage. If other factors make it desirable to store an item at the installation site, and the locaticn is acceptable from a quality standpoint, it is not our intention to eliminate that site as a potential storage area. As an alternate to this requirement. items may be delivered to the installation site sooner than absolutely necessary when determined to be advantageous for other considerations. E< ample - reduced nandling or easier access, thereby reducing susceptibility to handling danage. In all such cases, equipment stored in place will be protected in accordance with Section 5 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973. 7. Section 6.0 of ANSI N45.2.1-1973 states that where environmental contamination causes degradation of quality, seals are installed and the item is tagged witn identifications and instructicns for seal removal. GPUN utilizes procedural controls which spe-ify the authorization requirements for seal removal. "Tags" are not normally utilized. 104.0 3900L L .
