20555 SHEARON HARRIS NUCLEAR POWER PLANT, UNIT NOS 1j 2y 3p AND 4 DOCKET NOS ~ 50-400, 50-401, 50-402, AND 50-403 UALITY ASSURANCE ORGANIZATION
Dear Mr. Denton:
As,a result of an inspection conducted by Mr. V. L. Brownlee of the USNRC Region II office on April 28 through May 2, 1980, inspector followup Item 400/80-12-11; 400/402/403/80-10-11 was identified.
The inspector followup item set forth that Carolina Power
& Light Company's (CP&L) Quality Assurance organization is not aligned precisely as shown in the PSAR for the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant (SHNPP),
and that a change notification is required for NRR's review.
This letter provides that notification.
During Mr. Brownlee's inspection in April and May, and during previous inspections by other USNRC Region II personnel, the current CP&L organization at the SHNPP project was openly discussed.
In essence, the questions on the CP&L organization pertain to the division of Quality Control inspection responsibilities between two supervisory positions, and the performance of QC inspection and QA surveillance inspection by a single supervisory position.
J The Quality Assurance Organization has been modified (reference SHNPP PSAR Figure 1.8.1, Quality Assurance Organization) to add the position of Principal Construction Specialist Inspection, who reports to the Resident Engineer.
This added position is responsible for performing those Quality Control functions that.are under cognizance of the Shearon Harris Nuclear Power Plant Project Site Manager, pursuant to CP&L's Corporate Quality Assurance
- Program, Part 1.
The details of those QC functions, referred to as Construction Inspection, are delineated in the SHNPP project procedures.

Mr. Harold R. Denton As a result of the organizational modification and accompanying changes in QA/QC inspection and surveillance responsibilities, it is appropriate to elaborate on pertinent portions of the SHNPP PSAR that are affected.
The following provide that elaboration:
1.
Paragraph
- 1. 8.2(a), Quality Assurance and Inspection, Page
- 1. 8-2, reads in part, "Quality Assurance and inspection of construction activities will be the responsibility of the CP&L Engineering and Construction Quality Assurance Section of the Technical Services Department"
~
Comment:
The E&CQA Section retains responsibility for QA functions, except that the inspection of construction activities is now shared with the Harris Site Management Section.
Carolina Power
& Light Company's Corporate Quality Assurance
- Program, Part 1,
has been revised to reflect this sharing of responsibilities.
The SHNPP project procedures delineate the activities and responsibilities for each section.
At the present time, the following summarizes the QC inspection activities performed by the Harris Site Management Section.
a.
Soils all b.
Concrete all, except production testing and repairs c.
Reinforcing Steel and Embedded Items Installation all, except cadweld inspection d.
Structural Steel all, except welding and NDE e.
Mechanical Items Installation all, except welding,
- NDE, cleanliness inspection, and pressure testing f.
Electrical Items Installation - all g.
Instrumentation Installation all h.
Protective Coatings all Lifting Equipment all, except NDE All other QC inspections of construction activities remain the responsibility of the E&CQA section.

Mr. Harold R. Denton 2.
Paragraph
- 1. 8.2(b), Quality Assurance Surveillance, Page l. 8.2, reads in part, "Surveillance of service contractors and construction contractors will be the responsibility of the CP&L Engineering and Construction Quality Assurance Section".
Comment The E&CQA Section is now responsible for performing surveillance only in those areas where the section has no responsibility for the QC inspections.
The QC inspections performed by the Harris Site Management Section are subject to surveillance by the E&CQA Section.
This eliminates the dual QA/QC functions for a given activity being performed by any one QA supervisor.
3.
Paragraph
- 1. 8.3. 1. 2, Power Plant Construction Department, Page 1'"3, is silent as to PPCD's (Harris Site Management Section) inspection responsibilities.
Comment The PPCD responsibilities include proper application of inspection procedures during the construction and testing phases, and for providing construction inspection procedures for the project as necessary (reference Item 1 above)
~
4.
Paragraph
- 1. 8.3.4. 1, Engineering and Construction Quality Assurance Section Constfuction Quality Assurance Unit, Page l. 8-20, describes E&CQA as having the responsibility for "providing inspectors and quality assurance services required by the Site Quality Assurance Program".
Comment The responsibility for providing construction inspectors is shared between the E&CQA Section and the Harris Site Management Section (reference Item 1 above)
~
5.
Paragraph 1.8.4, CP&L, Ebasco, Westinghouse, and Constructor Organizational Relationship, Page l. 8-23a, reads in part, "The Engineering and Construction Quality Assurance Section will be responsible for'he establishment and execution of quali,ty control measures applicable to site construction operation"
~
Comment This responsibility is now shared by the Harris Site Management Section (reference Item 1 above).
Mr. Harold R. Denton The above described organization and responsibilities'are such that each position is organizationally separate from construction functions so as to provide sufficient authority and freedom to perform the required QA/QC inspections.
Each position is committed to the meeting of the applicable requirements of 10CFR50, Appendix B, as they pertain to the assigned functions.
Carolina Power
& Light Company believes that the present organization at the SHNPP is a viable way of performing the QC function and does not represent any compromise of that function.
