General The Region 1 Office of NRC had received information from an individual expressing concern regarding the adequacy of certain aspects of the NYSE&G QA program.
This inspection was conducted to review those activities and determine the validity of the information.
3.
Organization The licensee described the changes in the QA organization since the previous NRC inspection (P-657/78-02).
Personnel changes had resulted in a net reduction of two QA engineers.
As a result and because of the low level of project activity, QA personnel have been assigned to a single section supervisor.
The functions of the other staff sections are assigned to individuals as required.
The inspector reviewed the personnel qualification and training records of selected project and QA personnel, including those who had terminated within the past six months, to determine that they had the required education, specialized training and experience and had been periodically evaluated by respon-sible supervision. Additionally, the inspector interviewed a number of the applicant personnel with respect to their under-standing of applicable procedures and their job position duties and responsibilities.
No unsatisfactory conditions were noted.
