TP SE1978 Docket No.

99900250/78-02 Benjamin F. Shaw Company ATTN:

Mr. G. D. Profita President 2 Mill Road, Drawer 228 Wilmington, Delaware 19806 Gentlemen:

This refers to the QA Program inspection conducted by Mr. H. W. Roberds of this office on September 6-7, 1978, of your facility at Laurens, South Carolina, associated with the fabrication of nuclear piping and to the discussion of our findings with Mr. J. J. McDermott and members of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.

This inspection was made to confirm that, in the areas inspected., your QA Program is being effectively implemented. The inspection effort is not designed to assure that unique quality requirements imposed by a customer are being implemented; nor to assure that a specific product, component or service provided by you to your customers, is of acceptable quality. As you know, the NRC requires each of its licensees to assume full responsibil-ity for the quality of specific products, c'omponents or services procured from others.

You should therefore not conclude that the NRC's inspection exempts you from inspections by an NRC licensee or his agents nor from taking effective corrective action in response to their findings.

1 1

Areas examined during the inspection and our findings are discussed in the enclosed report.

Within these areas, the inspection consisted of an examination of procedures and representative records, interviews with personnel, and observations by the inspector.

Within the scope of this inspection, we found no instance where you failed to meet NRC requirements.

In accordance with Section 2.790 of the Commission's " Rules of Practice,"

Part 2, Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, a copy of this letter i

together with the enclosed inspection report will be placed in the Commission's Public Document Room.

If this report contains any infonnation that you believe to be proprietary, it is necessary that you make a written application within thirty (30) days to this office to withhold such information from public disclosure.

Any such application must include a i

full statement of the reasons'on the basis of which it is. claimed that the information is proprietary, and should be prepared so that proprietary j

information identified in the application is contained in a separate part of the document.

If we do~ not hear from you in' this regard within the specified period, the report will be placed in the Public Document Room.
