Independent Inspection Effort a.
Construction Status /LWA Activities The inspector conducted a visual inspection of the site to de te rmine current construction status and to ascertain that the licensee was ccatinuing to work within the scope of activities authorized by 10 CFR Sections 50.10(e)(1) (LWA-1) and 50.10(e)(3)
granted by NRR's letter dated February 9, 1978. All (LWA-2) as activities observed were within the scope of the Limited Work Authorization (LWA).
Blasting of bedrock for Units 1 and 2 reactor buildings has progressed to approximate elevation 440 feet.
Blasting operations are close to complete, however, much loose bedrock han to be removed from the excavation site. Work continues on foundations in the turbine building area and fabrication of Condenser Circulating Water (CCW) system piping.
Upgrading of onsite roads, const ruction of drainage and sewage facilities, and fabrication of warehouse, office, shop, and storage buildings are continuing operations.
The central-mix batch concrete plant requires calibration. Two key construction staff positions still require manning: Supervisor, Materials QC Unit and Supervisor, Welding Unit, b.
Quality Assurance (QA) Audit Review The TVA Topical Report TR 75-1-A Section 17.1 A.18. 3 t i tled
" Construction Audits" specifies that the Supervisor, Site QA Unit, is responsible to perform planned and periodic audits of all construction activities. The audit results are to be documented and reviewed by management.
The following DEC QA audits were examined by the RII inspector for deficiencies found, corrective action specified, completeness and the implementation in accordance with the licensee's procedures CEP 18.01 and QAP 18.01.

No deficiencies were written in these areas and there was not, therefore, a formal and documented method to ensure corrective action was taken or in progress. Criterion XVIII of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50 states in part: " Followup action, including reaudit of deficient areas, shall be taken where indicated."
TVA Construction QAP 18.01 section 6.5.5 states:
" Deficiencies encountered during the audit shall be recorded and shall be supported by sufficient data and specific examples to adequately substantiate the evaluation." QAP 18.01 section
.6.1 states in part: " Sufficient data shall be recorded on tne deficiency sheet to substantiate the encountered deficiencies."
The practice explained above of identifying audited items not in compliance with applicable TVA procedures but not documenting these nonconforming items on a deficiency sheet to ensure corrective action and/or reaudit is not in accordance with TVA Construction QAP 18.01 and is identified as deviation item Nos.
566-567/78-08-01.
c.
Drawing Control The master drawing file, superceded master drawing file, and drawing control ledger system were inspected for conf ormance to Yellow Creek Nuclear Plant Standard Operating Procedure (SOP)-7
" Drawing Control."
Adequate procedures exist and have been implemented for control of construction drawings.
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified in the above area inspecte.

QA/QC Record Review (1) The master Quality Control Investigation Report (QClk) log maintained by the Document Control Unit was reviewed for content and accuracy in accordance with CEP 15.01.
Completed (cleared) QCIR's were reviewed and the local QCIR log maintained by the Materials and Civil QC Unit Supervisor was inspected. The QCIR system was found to be implemented and functioning in accordance with CEP 15.01.
(2) Qualification records of the Materials and Civil QC Unit personnel were inspected for accuracy and to determine the training these personnel had received to date. The records were properly maintained and the training received by Materials and Civil QC personnel was adequate for current construction status.
(3) The construction site audit file maintained by the Document Control Unit was reviewed.
It was found that two audit reports were missing from the file and a third report had not been updated to reflect correction of deficiencies. These areas were corrected during the course of the inspection.
The master audit file maintained by the Project QA unit was accurate and complete.
-
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified in the above areas inspected.
Site Review of IE Bulletins and Circulars e.
The inspector reviewed the file of IE Bulletins and Circulars maintained by the Document Control Unit. The site is receiving IE Bulletins and Circulars in a timely manner. The project manager and construction engineer review all received Bulletins and Circulars for applicability to the project and determine what corrective action, if any, is required.
No deviations or items of noncompliance were identified within the above areas inspected.
f.
Warehouse Storage of Construction Material The ir.spector conducted a walk-thru of all site warehouse areas to dete rmine if safety-related items were being stored in proper areas and in accordance with the applicable Receiving Inspection,

Exit Interview The inspector met with licensee representatives listed in paragraph 1 at the conclusion of the inspection on October 20, 1978. The inspector summarized the scope of the inspection as follows: construction status, Lk'A activities, QA audit review, drawing control and QA/QC records review, site bandling of IE Bulletins and Circulars, and warehouse storage inspection. The Region II inspector identified one deviation with 10 CFR 50 Appendix B and TVA Construction QAP 18.01 which has been designated deviation item Nos. 566-567/78-08-01.
