	Regarding the following paragraph, isn't it statistically impossible

to buy 500 consecutive bad drum lids from an approved vendor?  Perhaps their

inspection procedure is too stringent?  Did they leave them all out in the

rain to rust?  Something just doesn't sound right.

	Repeated failures to assure the quality of materials procured for

nuclear related work, a problem that has recurred over the past two years.

The DOE cites an incident in which Kaiser-Hill bought 500 lids for 55 gallon

drums that were to be used in nuclear waste interim storage, without

following quality assurance procedures. All 500 drum lids had to be rejected

due to damage and defects.
