General f
i.
j The inspector's review of the licensee's files indicate that

reasonable and effective followup is.being conducted on the

j items noted in the RO inspection reports, in the surveys
i conducted by the power plant engineering QA section, and in the l
audits conducted by the special services department QA section.
'
The licensee has increased the number of planned and actual QA surveys and audits of contractors and of CP&L groups from J
that planned at the time of our audit in July. The surveys j
.
and audits are conducted to meet the requirements of the current
'
draf ts of ANSI 45.2.12, " Requirements for Auditing of Quality
[
'
Assurance Programs for Nuclear Power Plants."
!
b.
QA Audit Status Reports
" Quality Assurance Audit Status Reports" are written each month
,
by the QA manager to the vice president, Power Plant Engineering
.
and Construction (PPE&C).
These monthly reports for February

RO Report Nos. 50-325/73-7 and I-3 f
50-324/73-14 l
!
August 7-9, 1973), includes correspondence by the vice president
'
PPE&C expressing concern that the audit findings be implemented.
!
and that the outstanding deficiencies and problems be resolved.
Direct involvement by upper management is evident throughout the file and corrective actions by CP&L and B&R are documented.
l Their concerns have often overlapped items reported in the RO i
inspection reports. CP&L on site personnel have recently assumed a role of direct involvement (rather than auditing only) with
,
'
the constructor QA work to eliminate many problems. There has
{
been a continuing concern for better procedures for administrative
{
controls and craf twork as well as for better implementation of j
existing procedures.

QA Surveys of United Encineers and Constructors (UE&C)
i
,
QA audits and surveys of the architect engineer, UE&C, have l
been conducted since February 1970 and the surveys have been
!
reviewed by CP&L management. The inspector reviewed in detail the files for survey No. 10 conducted September 6 and 7, 1973,
!
and survey No. 9 conducted. March 6, 1973. The purpose of
!
survey No. 10 was to ascertain the. compliance with the UE&C QA procedure for " Drawing, Specification, Purchase Order, and
.
Procedure Review," and to check for the corrective actions l
taken by UE&C. The purpose of Survey No. 9 was to review the vendor submittals that we are required by the equipment specifications l
and the operation of the UE&C Reliability and QA Department.
A cursory review was made of audits 1 (February 24, 1970),
,
2 (April 7, 1970), 3 (June 16, 1970), 4 (October 6, 1970) and 5 (October 1,1971), and surveys (name change and organization change), 6 (May 19,1972), 7 (July 19,1972), and 8 (October 31, 1972).
The files show reasonable survey questions, investigations, followup, verification effectiveness, corrective actions,
.l observation of processes, and inspections for co=pleteness l
and adequacy to assure conformance to specifications or
procedures.
The audits indicate periodic actions were taken to
examine adherence to approved procedures and to verify the effectiveness of a quality system.
l The inspector reviewed the UE6C QA procedures related to vendor surveillance, audit actions on NSSS supplier, field QA engineer activities, and the special conditions for purchases of materials and equipment. The inspector reviewed the UE&C weekly activity report No. 101 dated September 28, 1973. The inspector reviewed the UE&C status of specifications for BSEP Units 1 and 2 dated. August 24, 1973.
