Reference: 10 CFR, Part 21 Courtesy Notification
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter provides to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission a courtesy
notification as referenced by 10 CFR Part 21, paragraph 21.21, (4).
ACCUTECH, a division of B&G Manufacturing Co., Inc. ("B&G"), recently
determined that heavy hex bolts supplied by the now defunct Cardinal
Industrial Products, L.P. ("CIP") in 1992 may be nonconforming.
On July 10, 1995, B&G purchased the name and certain other assets from
CIP, a limited partnership that had been formed and operated in Nevada.
B&G began its own nuclear fastener business at the same Nevada site and
temporarily used the "Cardinal Industrial Products" name before
officially adopting the trade name of ACCUTECH in December, 1995.
We believe this possible nonconformance situation was the result of
insufficient heat treating performed by CIP at the Nevada site. The
heavy hex bolts under discussion are trace code M2.
Even though B&G is not bound to take formal action under 10 CFR Part 21,
and the obligation for 10 CFR Part 21 statutory notifications remains
with CIP, as a courtesy B&G is notifying the NRC of the situation. In
addition, based upon records acquired from CIP, B&G is sending courtesy
notifications to customers who were shipped product from this lot by
Cardinal Industrial Products, L.P.
Sincerely yours,
Roy P. Reindl
