-Previous'ly,~it-was not clear to RO:III that the requiremants of'
10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B, Criterion 1, were met relative to the sut ect crganization. - The unclear aspects of this catter, i.e.,

function'during concrete' placement is_ subject to question. This i.
+
tie wire.has.been' inspected.by the construction contractor and, where necessary, additional wire has been installed. The RO inspector-observed. that th'e combination of new' and existing tie -
wire on-the rebar in the-Unit 2' tendon access gallery (where

,
,
discussed. A representative of the licensee stated that the audit was a QC systems audit to determine the~ degree of field compliance t-with Bechtel QC procedures.
The 15 Quality Audit Findings attached to the report indicated that certain Bechtel activities at the construction site were not in compliance with established Bechtel procedures'.
This was the first audit of this type since restart of-construction activities at the Midland site.
The inspector

Paragraph'two states that, in the corporate organization.
....,
there is! sharing of certain QA responsibilities. This sharing would not,be consistent with the independence requirements as stated in Criterion I of.10 CFS Part 50, Appendix B.
The QAM states that the project manager of Lthe _ Midland Project is responsible for. the quality of the project, among other things. This statement is acceptable.
i
-
~ However. the QAM does not clearly preclude activities of the project i
manager which are definitely QA functions.

Section 1 references Tab t.,
lection 2, of the CP Project Procedures
-
Manual,' which is the "iC24nd Project organization ' hart. This chart is not'sufficiently detailed to establish which g.vop, or groups, will perform all necessary QA activities.
At the conclusion of the inspection, corrective action relative to the CP QA organization and their QA functions and responsibilities was not completely resolved.
Subsequent to the inspection (on
)
,
August 16, 1973} a meeting was held between CP corporate management-
'and RO:III te discuss this matter further. At this meeting, CP
proposed-that certain fiel'd engi,neers, who are under the direction of the project managet,' monitor acti-4. ties relative to quality
'
aspects of site construction activities.
However, CP agreed that the_QA organization would perform all required QA functions necessary to assure proper execution of the Midland Project QA Program, and
' (/
-
)
that activities of the QA organization would include auditing quality s_-
related activities of the. field engineers mentioned above.
,
further indicated that-the QA organization would be staffed in a
-
timely manner commensurate with project activities and requirements.
RO:III stated-that, during normal reactor facility construction activities, about seven QA engineers are generally required to monitor and audit quality related aspects of the project.
Organiza-tions requiring QA surveillance would include the licensee, his
,
contractor and subcontractors, NSSS supplier, vendors, and any organizations delegated certain-other QA responsibilities. That is, the CP QA organization would evaluate the total Midland' Project QA Program, including QA planning, scheduling, and. accomplishing
.QA functions,-as well as assuring that the entire QA program was
.
,
being implemented properly by continuous surveillance and periodic audits.-
-b.-
Section 2,' Quality Assurance Program
-
(1). Thisf section states that
.. the required QA program shall
..
satisfy 10 CFR Part.50,JAppendix' B, or an equivalent program -
standard......The " equivalent _ program" needs to be defined

or,such a reference should be deltted.

quality related activities.are performed according to applicable a
requirements. Additionally, there does not appear ra be L
assigned responsibility for the overall QA' function for the j
Midland Project.

(f people are presently involved in design work at this offiie for the Midland Project.
Some procurement activity was in' prog'ress, but-
"
'
'this activity had.been reinitiated only recently.
No significant-
.
deviations-_from applicable' requirements were identified during'this
~ initial review.
b'. ' Des'ign-Activities
'
Bedhtel has' established and, implemented a QA program relative to design activities for; the Midland Project which, in general, appears
~
to'be consistent with applicable requirements. A change is.in
_
progress by Bechtel'to make their QA program more. consistent-with a detailed requirement of 10 CFR Part 50,' Appendix B, relative to
's
'
' material suitability review.
'
Major design disciplines appear _to be adequately staffed and'
qualified for the work in progress.
An' Ann Arbor office' Quality Engineering. Indoctrination and_ Training Schedule, covering the-period from; June'14 through, September.6, 1973,'was reviewed.
.
Seven sessions covering appropriate topics are scheduled.-
[
Quality. aspects of design are controlled by Bechtel internal.
'
documents, such as directives, procedures-(Nuclear QA Manual and QC Manual - ASME)', instructions and control documents (detailed fN procedures for'the. Ann Arbor office), reference documents:
lQ'
_~
(Engineering Standards and Bulletins) and other applicable codes and standards.
In. addition,. design is controlled by requirements
~
- a-established' by CP -(basic design' criteria, SAR. and CP standards)
,
-and the.AEC (safety criteria and design guides).
l Procedures.and methods used to verify that applicable' design-l requirements are correctly translated into design documents
'
l (specifications and' drawings) were examined and discussed with.
Bechtel.. Procedures and-forms' reviewed included: Design Control Checklist, Design Review Notice, Requisition Register, Drawing
,
Control, Calculation. Cover Sheet, QA Matrix Chart, and Engineering
'
(
Design Document Tree. Methods used for' design' interface control
!-
and corrective action' control were reviewed also.
,
.
-To determine'whether applicable _ quality procedures were:being.
implemented, Bec'/.tel' Specification No. C-208, Material-Testing l
_Servicesi, was selected for examination in this regard.
It was s
!
_
' determined thst appropriate procedures were followed by the"
'
Civil-Engineering Group' relative;to design control,_ independent
-
' design' review,'and distribution.

Bechtel Quality Audit Findings
The first 15 Bechtel-Quality Audit Finding reports were reviewed.
These are QC systems type audits relative to Bechtel pre-construction activities-se the Midland site, i.e.,
to determine the degree of-implementation relative to quality related procedures and activities. These quality sudit finding reports were attached to Project Audit Report No. C-1, dated July 19, 1973, and L signed by J. I. Dotson, Bechtel Project QA Engineer.
The findings indicate that certain prescribed Bechtel procedures were not being'followed. Typical deficiencies include: no field change request initiated.when required,'no formal training program established, required drawing control procedures not being.followed cnd quality control records
.not collected and filed as required.
(See Appendix A)
Corrective action'is in progress relative to the above audit findings.
Adequacy of corrective action, and measures to preclude repetition, will be reviewed during subsequent inspections.
The audit was thoroughly conducted by qualifiel people in a timely manner, i.e.,
in the early
stage of construction activity,.-
'
6.
Site Requalification Activities Work ~is continuing at the site to determine the affect of the environment on stored materials, components, structures, and in-place earth work. An
,
- .
-inspection was made on July 5, 1973, by CP relative to the condition of
,
'( \\- /
site stored material. A corrosion inspection was made by Bechtel on
.
'
June 28 and'29, 1973, on stored and in-place materials.
Testing of in-place soil conditions was conducted in June 1973. Reports of these inspections will be reviewed when copies are available, however, it
. appears that this activity is continuing in an. adequate manner and in-accordance.with the program developed by CP pursuant to condition 1 of ALA'
06.
.
7.
B&W QA Program CP and B&W have been actively discussing quality. assurance requirements common to components to be furnished by B&W for the Midland Project.
~
.
Upgraded requirements are to be included: in B&W Specification No.1212,,
. Quality Assurance Procurement Specification.
The licensee indicated
'
that these requirements are to be consistent with'10 CFR Part 50, Appendix-B. This specification will be reviewed during a subsequent inspection.

Concrete Batch' Plant'Requalification
'
In response to a question regarding' the status of the batch plant,.a representative of Lechtel stated that renovation, testing, and requalifi-cation of the plant.is nearing completion.
Procedures, check points, and verification of adequacy of this batch plant are based on the National Ready Mixed Concrete Asscatation Certification of Ready Mixed Concrete
,
Production Facilities, Revision No. 2, dated January.1972.
Bechtel is
'using the above certification program, which includes a required, detailed checklist, as a QC inspection plan to assare adequate compliance.with
'
applicable requirements.
Bechtel stated that this certification will satisfy applicable requirements of ACI 318-71.
9.
Concrete Activities-Concrete batening and placement activities at the site are expected to be reinitiated within'a few weeks.
Stored materials (concrete, fly ash, admixes, etc.) have been rejected, and new material has been obtained.
- Trial batches have been.made.t,o verify preper operation of batch plant and. transit trucks. -Design mix test cylinders are scheduled to be made
' ~
about mid-August'1973.
Corrective action on previously identified enforcement matters, relative to concrete activities prior to construction shutdown, will be reviewed
/
- N-slI during;the inspection following resumption of concrete activities.
,
u 10. QA/QC Training Program During.a discussion concerning indoctrination and training'of QA/QC people, it was determined that three formal training programs were in progress.
CP periodically provides training for field and office personnel associated with the Midland' Project. The last session was held on July 16 and 17, 1973. Be'chtel has a training program in effect
at the' Midland site and at the Ann Arbor office.
The current Ann Arbor office Quality' Engineering Indoctrination and Tra'ining Program Schedule,
? covering the period'from June 14 through September 6, 1973, was ceviewed.
Seven sessions, covering appropriate topics are included in this program.
