Manufacturing Quality Components for Better Building . August 7, 1984 Director, Of fice of Inspection and Enforcement United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission Washington, D.C. 10555 Sir:

In accordance with requirements of 10 CFR Part 21, Titus Products, located at 990 Security Row, Richardson, Texas 75081, is herewith reporting that we have discovered a deficiency with products fur-nished by Titus Products for Nuclear Power Plant application.

On March 2, 1984, it was determined that some tension wires on Titus Grille (Model 272) would not remain in place when deflec-tion blades were closed. The grilles were galvanized material supplied to The Waldinger Corporation for installation in the containment building at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

Since Palo Verde was the only jobsite for which galvanized grilles were supplied, Titus notified The Waldinger Corporation of this deficiency, which to the best of our knowledge was reported to the client.

Subsequent to the above notification, a jobsite review was con-ducted which resulted in the discovery of additional deficiencies.

It was determined during this jobsite visit that the tension wire problem was also apparent on aluminum grilles, thus constituting a total a total review of all products furnished for other nuclear sites.

Further review showed that Model 272 grilles were supplied for two additional jobsites. Attachment I identifies the affected jobsites by location.

We are currently testing these products to provide an acceptable fix for retention of tension wires. Upon determination of method of rework, Titus will schedule personnel to complete this activity.

Enclosed is a copy of the letter outlining the situation described in this letter, which will be sent to each affected site.
