Inspection

Report

No. 50-410/86-52

This refers to the special

team inspection of the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 em-

ployee concerns

about quality assurance

(QA) program effectiveness

in the area

of quality control

(QC) inspections

and the Quality First Program

(Q1P) in-

vestigation of these

concerns.

This inspection

was conducted

on September

8-12,

1986,

and

a

summary of our findings was presented

by Mr. J.

C. Linvilie

to Mr.

W. Donlon and members of your staff at the inspection's

conclusion.

The

inspection

on August 6-28,

1986 by Mr.

R.

Gramm which brought these matters

to

our attention,

and

management

meetings

on August 29,

1986 at the site

and

on

September

4,

1986 in Region I to discuss

them are also

summarized.

Overall the inspection validated your position that the programmatic

concerns

identified in the QlP investigation

have not resulted in hardware deficiencies

or impeded

QA department

personnel

from identifying hardware deficiencies.

In

addition, there is evidence that

QA overchecks

of QC inspection activities

have identified and corrected

hardware deficiencies.

While no violations were identified during this inspection,

several

new pro-

grammatic weaknesses

were identified, in addition to those identified by your

QlP investigation,

which require additional action to improve program effec-

tiveness

.

The weaknesses

are

summarized

in sections

1. 1 and 1.2 of the en-

closed inspection report.

You are requested

to respond to this letter provid-

ing

a description of your actions relative to these

weaknesses.

The response

requested

by this letter is not subject to the clearance

procedures

of the Office of Management

and Budget

as required

by the Paperwork Reduction

Act of 1980,

PL 96-511.

We appreciate

your cooperation.

Sincerely,
