TWO NORTH NINTH STREET, ALLENTOWN, PA. 18101 PHONE: (215) 821-5151 NORMAN W. CURTIS Vice President. Engineering IL Construction 82 I-5381 May 20, 1980 Mr. Boyce H. Grier Director, Region I U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission 631 Park Avenue King of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406 SUSQUEHANNA STEAM ELECTRIC STATION NOTIFICATION OF A REPORTABLE DEFICIENCY REGARDING THE USE OF STRESS ISOMETRICS TO LOCATE SUPPORTS ERs 100450/100508 FILE 840-4/900-10 PLA-486

Dear Mr. Grier:

This letter serves to confirm information provided by telephone to NRC Inspector Mr. R. Gallo by Mr. A. R. Sabol of PPaL on January 25, 1980.

During that conversation, Mr. Gallo was advised that the sub)ect condition was under evaluation for reportability under the provisions of 10CFR50.55(e).

The deficiency involves the use of stress isometric sketches to locate pipe supports and has been documented in Bechtel MCAR 1-44. PP&L has determined that the condition which involves the use of uncontrolled sketches for perform-ing construction related activities constitutes a breakdown in Bechtel's cpxality assurance program.

Bechtel has agreed to clarify their Engineering Procedures Manual as PPGL advised the NRC in'our PLA-460 of March 17, 1980 which was in response to an Infraction transmitted by NRC Inspection Report No. 50-387/79<<41 and 50-388/79-22.

The inspection report identified the use of uncontrolled stress isometrics in the final inspections of pipe supports.

PPiilL and Bechtel are continuing to pursue an acceptable corrective action plan and will provide same when it becomes available.

Since the details of this report provide information relevant to the reporting requirements of 10CFR21, this correspondence is considered to also discharge any formal responsibility PP&L may have for reporting in compliance thereto.
