Quality Assurance
Program
Section
1.8.2 -of the
PSAR (item a'n
page
1.8.2) states
that
Quality Assurance
and inspection of construction activities will
be the responsibility of the
CPoL Engineering
and Construction
Quality Assurance
Section of the Technical
Services
Department.
As currently organized,
the.QC function is split between
the: S'ite-
QA group and Construction Inspection group.
Implementation
The inspector
observed
QA/QC field activities:and-intervi.ewe'd'-=:
twe1ve 'per'sons:.'ehgaged
in these activities<
'-During t'e--'interviews
."."and .obsezvation's,'-
the 'inspector
ascertained
'-that there- was'o
apparent
lack of objectivity in the
QA/QC functions
as
a result
of contract
(Daniels) personnel
under
CPU. supezvision performing
these activities an Daniels
work.
While no lack of objectivity was observed,
persons
inte'rviewed
indicated, either
on their own initiative or as
a result of a
specific question
by the inspector,
that the combined functions
af
QA and
QC under the
same
group
and performed
by- the
same-
personnel
was causing
a strained if not inadequate
performance'f-'hese
activities.
Although neither the inspector's
observations
nor the interviewee's
accounts 'gave
a single
case
of improper
functioning of either
.QA or
QC,
the
con'cerns
expressed
were
valid.
Since
a person
performs
QC of an activity one
day and
provides the site
QA of the same area the following day,
a possi-
'ility of a conflict exists
even
though
no cases
were found or
stated
where
an inspector ever performed
QA on the
same job where
~ 3a
~
he
had previously performed the
QC.
In addition,
the
demands of
the
QC function, according'o
the
inte viewees,
occasionally
prevented them from performing "as
much
QA as they would'ave
liked" to perform, although, in all cases
reviewed or discussed,
the minimum requirements
were met.
Since.,the licensee's'urrent
organization
is. not:as. defin'ed
xn:
the PSAR,
a change notificati:on will be, required .for NRR s review'.
.. .The .Site
