Moon, General Purchasing Inspection Supervisor D. Ryan, Site Project Quality Assurance Engineer The inspector explained that normally this meeting was a joint IE/NRR meeting held with an applicant about nine months prior to his submittal of a construction permit application. However, in view of the fact that a similar meeting was held prior to the initial submittal of the application in 1973, it was mutually agreed that a repeat of this full meeting was not needed but that a brief review would be beneficia . Mr. A.

[[ with commercial power operation in 1989/199 A Detroit Edison is presently planning to purchase a Babcock and Wilcox (BCW) standard plant Design with Bechtel corpor-ation performing Architect Engineering and construction management responsibilitie Changes to the basis plant design are not expected to be significant. However, the two facilities are now planned to be independent with no shared structures or system Design work to accomplish this and other required modifi-cations is in progress, Several large forgings were bought earlier for the Greenwood Energy Center and are in storage at B&W. Mr. Harris stated that a protective coating has been applied as a preservative and that B6W was monitoring the forgings for proper storage with Bechtel performing an audit functio . The Nuclear Regulatory Commission representatives discussed the sequence of events and IE pre-construction permit inspections that would take place upon receipt of the amended construction permit applicatio . In regard to the Quality Assurance Program Manual review by IE, the inspector stated that one controlled copy of the QA Manual must be submitted to the Region III office at least 30 days prior to the expected date the amended application is submitte The inspector explained that the QA manual would be reviewed for completeness and consistency with NRC requirements with emphasis on those sections involved with design and procurement activitie The inspector added that any IE concerns identified during the manual review would be forwarded to the Licensing QA Branch through IE Headquarter '

The inspector stated that theRegionIIIofficeblEaalsoreview Chapter 17 of the amended PSAR. The review will include exami-nation for consistency between the program description and the QA manua l-3-

and discrepancie . The inspectors noted that Detroit Edison would have two nuclear plants, one in startup and the other being constructed simulta-neously and inquired regarding Detroit Edison's staffing plan It was stated that the Detroit Edison personnel assigned to Fermi 2 involved in early construction would be reassigned to Greenwood. Construction of the Fermi 2 plant should be essentially i complete prior to start of construction at the Greenwood' Energy Center. Detroit Edison felt adequate numbers of personnel to staff the Greenwood Energy Center Units 2 and 3, and Fermi 2 would be available especially in view of the recent slippage of planned commercial operation of the Greenwood units to 1989/1991, e-5-L
