Audit Program The IE inspector reviewed the activities of the SNUPPS QA a.
staff in regard to the accomplishment of the Audit Program as described in ACP 13.1 (Rev. 4) (1/13/77).
During the review of the program status, it was noted that the Bechtel Audit Program was not being reviewed by SNUPPS on an annual basis as stated in ACP 13.1, paragraph 6.2.4.
The last audit on this major activity had been done in September 1978.
However, follow up on the results of that audit and surveillances has been done in this area.
After discussion of the item with the QA Manager, he stated that this area would be audited during the month of January 1980.
The IE inspector stated that the item would be considered unresolved and would be examined during the next inspection.
(50-485/80-01-01).
b.
The IE inspector also reviewed a Bechtel QA audit relating to the processing of Nonconformance Reports (NCR), Field Change Requests (FCR), and Construction Variance Requests (CVR) (July 13 - September 26,1979); and the Bechtel Project QA Audit of PACAL (Paper-Calmerson) (July 24-27,1979).
The Master Audit Plan for Bechtel Project QA was also reviewed and discussed with the Bechtel Project QA Manager.
No items of noncompliance were identified.

Reporting of Significant Deficiencies and Defects The IE inspector reviewed the SNUPPS staff activities relating to the reporting of construction deficiencies.
SNUPPS Staff Administrative Control Procedure (ACP) 10.2, Rev. 3 (12/5/77) was reviewed and discussed with the staff personnel.
Six significant deficiencies have been reported to the NRC (Region I) by the SNUPPS staff. This is in accordance with the SNUPPS QA manual (Chapter 17 of the PSAR), paragraph 17.1.16 which states, "For deficiencies within the SNUPPS concept involving hardware which has not arrived at the plant site, the utilities' management have assigned the reporting responsibility to the SNUPPS Executive Director." This responsibility was assigned in writing by the four participating utilities in August-September 1975.
Specific files of 10 CFR 50.55(e) reports were reviewed for conformance to the above ACP.
It was determined by the IE inspector that the requirements were being met for reporting of deficiencies to the NRC. However, the ACP does not clearly identify who is responsible for the reporting of deficient items when material has been delivered to one site, but not to the other sites.
The SNUPPS OA Manager stated that the SNUPPS QA committee has an agenda item scheduled for the next meeting concerning 50.55(e) item reporting and that this interface problem would be discussed. The IE inspector stated that this would be reviewed during the next IE inspection.

Three audits have been conducted by the SNUPPS staff on Bechtel activities since April 1979. Written responses by Bechtel to the audit findings were timely and met the ANSI standard require-ment of 30 days.
This item is considered resolved.
