RIV Docket No. 50-498/Rp t. 79-13 50-499/Rp t.
79-13 Houston Lighting and Power Company ATTN:
Mr. E. A. Turner, Vice President Power Plant Construction and Technical Services Post Office Box 1700 Houston, Texas 77001 Gentlemen:
Thank you for your letter of November 2, 1979, in response to our letter dated October 5, 1979, and the attached Notice of Violation.
Your response did not adequately address al' of the items of noncompliance cited in the Notice of Violation, therefore, the Resident Reactor Inspector (RRI) re-quested a meeting with members of your staff to discuss the response.
During this meeting, held on December 10, 1979, your staff furnished additional infor-mation which was not available to the RRI during the inspection of August 6-10, 1979.
Your response and the additional information furnished to the RRI were reviewed.
As a result of our review, we have determined that your responses to items A.1, A.2, B.1 and B.3 were inadequate as follows:
Item A.1, QA Manual Supplenents Your response to item A.1 failed to address the finding that Section 12.0,
" Manual Revision and Distribution," did not describe requirements to integrate supplements into the Pittsburg-Des Moines (PDM) Corporate Field QA Manual.
Item A.2, Auditor Qualification Your response to item A.2 failed to identify the specific auditor qualifi-cation requirements that are maintained by the PDM Division QA Manager.
It should be pointed out that, during the inspection, neither licensee personnel nor the PDM QA Manager provided specific information to the IE inspector concerning PDM QA Manual requirements related to auditor cuali-fication.

Houston Lighting and Power Company-2-January 31, 1980 Item B.1, QA Program Audits
.
Your response to item B.1 referred to audit 77-202 performed on site by PDM Corporate QA Auditors in April 1977, but failed to mention that this audit was not made available to the RRI during the inspection.
PDM personnel assured the RRI that they had furnished all audits performed during the periods reviewed. This audit was first presented to the RRI on December 10, 1979, during the meeting to discuss your response.
Item B.3, Review of Audit Results Your response B.3.c indicated that audit 79-203 erroneously reported a drawing control deficiency, but failed to mention that this information was not provided to the RRI during the inspection.
You are requested to provide, within 20 days of the receipt of this letter, (1) additional information related to items A.1 and A.2 above; (2) a description of measures that will be taken to assure that information of the type that was later supplied relative to items A.2, B.1 and B.3 is made available to the IE inspectors during the conduct of inspections; and (3) dates when full compliance will be achieved for all items described in the Notice of Violation.
Should you have any questions concerning these matters, we will be pleased to discuss them with you.
Sincerely, wl/
