Licensee Corrective Actions and Restart Program for Marble Hill Background On August 15, 1979, NRC issued an Order Confirming Suspension of Construction of the Marble Hill plant because of numerous noncompliances to construction, construction management, and quality assurance requirements. Since that time,-the licensee has been in the process of.taking corrective actions.

On May 15, 1980, NRC issued a program for the step by step recision of the " suspension" order titled, " Graduated Recission of Order Dated August 15, 1979". The extent of the recision of the " August 15, 1979

.

. suspension order" depends on the adequacy of the licensee's. corrective

.

actions at each step of the May 15, 1980 " restart program" as determined by NRC.

Revision of'QA Program Description J

(Closed - initiated by NRR request) A consolidated QA program (QAP)

description was submitted to NRR on April 28, 1980 and supplemented by PSI letter dated May 6, 1980. Based upon review of the consolidated QA program description and it's supplements, NRR and IE have concluded that the revised QAP description is acceptable for use in construction of_the Marble Hill plants. This conclusion was transmitted to PSI by NRR letter dated May 23, 1980. These actions adequately resolve item A. 1.(a) of the May 15, 1980 Graduated recision of the August 15, 1979 order.

2.

Development of Quality Assurance Manual-(PQAM)

,

(Closed)' Followup Item (546/80-17-01; 547/80-17-01) As previously

i documented in NRC Report Nos. 50-546/80-17 and 50-546/80-22, NRC RIII has conducted a detailed examination and evaluation of the Marble Hill

Project Quality Assurance Manual. This review included verification

'

of the inclusion and adequacy of all requirements of 10 CFR Part 50,

!-

Appendix B, the related commitments established by the consolidated

.

QA program description as approved by NRR by letter dated May 23, 1980.

On June 4, 1980, NRC RIII Management representatives finished a final review of the Marble Hill Project Quality Assurance Manual and-concluded that all applicable requirements have been adequately addressed. This constitutes acceptable resolution of item A.I.(b) of the " Restart Program.

"

3.

Development of ASME Quality Assurance Manual (Open) noncompliance (546/79-11-02; 547/79-11-02)

The licensee has developed a Quality assurance program responsive to the requirements of the ASME Code. In December 1979, an ASME Survey Team reviewed this program and found it acceptable to support an interim letter of approval of the quality system described. This is outlined in ASME PSI letter dated January 7, 1980. NRC participated

.

,

in this review. This QA program has been subsequently modified as appropriate, and approved by a " third party" inspection agency and concurred with by NRC RIII.

-

In reference-to the ASME interim letter, this QA program is for "N" Certification for " Construction of Class 1, 2, and 3, piping at the Marble Hill Generating Station, Units 1 and 2; New Washington, Indiana'for which overall responsibility is retained and for which fabrication and installation of Class 1, 2, and 3 piping systems is subcontract'ed 'to appropriate certificate of authorization holders".

NRC RIII also examined the licensee's program and processes for assuring a complimentary interface between the FQAM and the AQAM. This evaluation was found to be exhaustively comprehensive and the results are acceptable.

This entire effort is considered acceptable and constitutes resolution of item A.I.(c) by the " Restart program.

." and item 4.b

.

of Appendix A to IE Report No. 50-546/79-11 (Item 4.b remains open).

Note: The implementation survey'by ASME is scheduled for

'

November 1980. "N" certification is pending a successful implemen-i tation survey as determined by ASME.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

4.

Increase Project Staff Experience Levels (Closed) Noncompliance (546/79-11-01; 547/79-11-01)

a.

Subsequent to the NRC August 15, 1980 Order and the NRC

'

identification of insufficient staff and experience levels, the -

licensee has successfully implemented a comprehensive program of reorganizing and manning the key site based organizations for the construction of the Marble Hill plant.

The purpose of this effort was to provide additional management controls andjto provide additional experience.

Key to this effort was the relocation of all principal PSI

,

management organizations, construction, project' controls,

,

engineering, procurement, and quality assurance at the site.

This effort' was effectively completed in January 1980.

NRC RIII has examined this reorganization as described in the licensee's reports, '= Description of Licensee Activities Addressing Order Confirming Suspension %f Construction", dated February 28, 1980, the " Consolidated Description Quality Assurance Program" dated April 28, 1980. As described in PSI /Stello letter dated' February 28, 1980. NRC has confirmed through ongoing examinations that the corrective actions outlined in PSI letter of March 6, 1980 (in response to NRC Item of non-

compliance involving. quality assurance (No. 546/79-11-01 547/79-11-01))

have been fully implemented. This matter is considered

. resolved.

This constitutes acceptable resolution of item A.I.(d) of the

" Restart Program...."

PSI site based semi professional and professional staff responsible for construction of the Marble Hill site has increased from 78 personsLin June, 1979 to 251 persons in June, 1980.

Moreover, NRC RIII has confirmed through examination that personnel qualification and experience has increased significantly

,-

in all key areas. That is, quality assurance / control, construction management, and project engineering. The details of a part of this effort are documented in NRC Report No. 50-546/80-17 and as follows in the paragraphs below.

b.

Personnel Experience and Qualification Verification by NRC RIII Previous RIII Report (50-546/80-17; 50-547/80-17) discussed an RIII evaluation of the qualifications for management and supervisory level personnel involved in the Marble Hill project.

During this followup inspection, NRC inspectors evaluated the education, experience, and training of 35 additional personnel

<specifically associated with receipt inspection and receipt documentation review activities for Marble Hill.

The 35-individuals evaluated during this inspection include 11 persons certified as Level I inspectors, 19 persons certified as Level II, and five persons certified as Level III.

Sixteen of the individuals are certified as documentation reviewers; eight of those 16 are. employed by Sargent and Lundy.

RIII inspectors conducted interviews with five of the 35 receipt inspectors and documentation reviewers, to evaluate their education, experience, training, and knowledge of the work to be performed. The RIII inspectors also reviewed Revision 3 of PHP 3.01, " Qualification and Certification of QA Personnel",.to ensure compatability between PMP 3.01 and the Qualifications of the Marble Hill receipt inspection-personnel.

Revision 3 of PMP 3.01 does not apply specifically to personnel involved only in receipt documentation review activities.

During this inspection, the licensee agreed to include such specific document reviewer qualification requirements in PMP 3.01.

Subsequent to the inspection, the licensee issued Revision 4 of PMP 3.01, which. included appropriate qualification requirements for document reviewers.

RIII inspectors had concerns regarding the qualifications /

certifications for three of the 35 receipt inspectors and

,

document reviewers evaluated. The licensee provided additional justification for two of the three persons in question, and changed the certification for the third person from Level II to Level I.

Resed on the additional justification and the certification change, tL P.III inspectors had no further questions.

No items of noncompliance or deviations were identified.

  • PMP No. 3.26 was being reviewed for approval at the time of the inspection June 24-27, 1980. This procedure provides for the development of QA instructions. These instructions csn apply to receipt inspection in such areas as assuring that site receipt inspection includes any required PSI surveillance inspections that may be waived at the vendor's shop. The draft procedure was reviewed by the NRC inspector and discussed with the licensee's representative. The procedure was considered adequate for the development and control of QA instructions applicable to receipt inspection.

b.

Receipt Inspection and Documentation Checklists Twenty-two receipt inspections and three documentation checklists have been developed as of June 26, 1980, and are identified below. The checklists are reprepresentative of the estimated 150 that will be required to complete receipt inspection. The schedule for development of the remaining checklists is to be consistent with the licensee's

y wir resumption of receipt inspection activities. A d t4iled review of the 25 completed checklists indicated that chey met requirements. A few minor discrepancies were identified during the review and were dis-cussed with the licensee. These are not considered significant and include such items as inconsistent format, revision number in some cases not included in specification references, type of purge gas not identified, etc. The licensee is in process of taking the necessary corrective action.

0ther Considerations Applicable To Receipt Inspection Since August 7, 1979 and in response to NRC confirmatory order dated August 15, 1979, receipt inspections were stopped. However,

~

the licensee was permitted to take possession of.and store materials and components shipped to the site. Consequently, there is:a large backlog of material, etc. presently stored at the site.

In order to properly accommodate the transition from the " storage" mode to the " receipt inspection" mode, the licensee has developed an appropriately comprehensive set of procedures and instructions.

Principal among these is one titled, "Intergrated Plan for

_

Laydown Area Upgrade Material Storage and Sequential Receipt Inspection"'(Special Process Procedure No. 17, Revision D).

Based on a detailed examination of..the above referenced procedure (SPP-17), discussions with the licensee's representatives, and demonstrations through the " flow charts ~for procurement and receipt activities" as prescribed by Section 7 and 7.3 of the Project Quality Assurance Manual, RIII inspectors conclude that

.

'

all appropriate requirements and considerations have been adequately addressed.

'

d.

Personnel Qualification for Receipt Inspection As it is outlined in paragraphs 4.A and B. above, NRC inspectors l

have confirmed through examination, discussion, and independent

'

verification that PSI personnel are adequately qualified in accordance with the governing requirements to perform all

required duties in support of the project quality assurance program and-receipt inspection activities.

l

,

e.

Conclusions Based on the review of applicable project management procedures, other documentation, discussions with licensee cognizant personnel, i

observation of stored equipment, and review of staffing and qualification of receipt inspection personnel, it is concluded that adequate provisions are in place for the control of PSI receipt inspection activities.

Items B.1, 2, and 3 of the Restart Program have been satisfied q

and the " Order Confirming. Suspension of Safety-Related Construction"

'

can be partially lifted, specifically for receipt inspection.
