, What type of verification was established to ensure that the corrective action was completed? i 'iat was the root cause of. the failure to correct all previously i dentified electrical butt splice and weep hole discrepancies? What type of controP are in place to ensure that responses /submittals to the NRC are accurate? What is the competence level of the EQ staff in light of the most recent butt splice and weep hole inadequacies?

l In opening the conference, the NRC representatives identified the following apparent violations of 10 CFR 50, Appendix B:

Criterion XVI - Corrective Action: Failure to identify and repair / replace all unqualified AMP Kynar electrical butt splices; and failure to identify and correct all instances in which weep holes were not installed in electrical junction boxe The licensee presented a summary of their review of the NRC findings, the l root cause analysis, and immediate corrective actions taken. The licensee also presented specific and general corrective actions to prevent recurrence of these violations relative to personnel and IPC quality programs (Sec ettachment 1). 1 During this conference the licensee took issue with the violation I concerning the lack of weep holes in junction boxes. A followup NRC meeting was conducted with the licensee's technical staff to answer any ,

licensee questions regarding submergence of cables and splices in the j junction boxes. The licensee acknowledged the NRC concerns and committed '

to submit additional EQ documentation regarding the qualification of the I l

affected cables and splices in the junction boxes. The licensee also !

l committed to review the qualification of any box containing cable and/or !

I splices that may be subject to submergenc l l

The evaluation and disposition of the apparent violations will be i documented in subsequent communication l
