A.

The_ Director, Region I, stated that the purpose of the meeting was to

_. _.

discuss with corporate canagement the Quality Assurance history of the

'i

  • Ihree Mile Island projects; to e=phasize the i=portance of =aintaining

..Z

.

a viable and detailed quality program throughout the final stages of

n

construction; to e=phasize the i=portance of tirely develop =ent and

c._,

implementation of the quality program to the preoperational and startup

. . .

phases, and to discuss the require =ent for a quality program for the

_

p

operations phase.

..

B.

It was stated by Region I representatives that a rapid expansion of

construction activities during the final eighteen conths of construc-

tion, with concurrent preoperational and startup activities, can

result in failures in related Quality progra=s. Early =anage=ent

recognition and action on unsatisfactory trends can prevent or

minimize these type failures anc facilitate the orderly growth of

such piograms in proportion to work which cust be performed.

Tne

Three Mile Island program was stated, based on inspection findings,

to have reached this point of increased activity and that Region I

plans to conitor its perfor=ance of their progra=s closely during

the next several conths.

It was stated by Region I representatives that previous problems

have been noted in construction that appear to indicate additional

attention to the quality progran during the remainder of the con-

struction phase and the preoperational and startup phases.

The AEC's e=phasis on quality assurance in all phases was discussed

with the licensee's attention directed to early development of a

quality assurance program for the operations phase.

,

C.

The licensee stated that a reorganization had been recently effected

which established a canagerial position for the quality function.

This position reports directly to the vice-president in order to

assure that proper e=phasis is placed on cuality in all areas.

The

licensee recognized that work remained in completing the quality

assurance aspects of the preoperational test and startup program;

however, the; stated that this area was being given a great deal

of attention.

The licensee stated that they felt that they had been responsive to

their own concerns and to the ACC findings in the area of construc-

tion, as indicated by their organizational cha ges and specific

acti.ns on individually identified findinFs.

-he licensee a lso

statec that they had estab lished procedures and cc=itr - ats w.-ich

might be unduly restrictive.

They expre med their inte-tions to

continue their review of such procedures , and foll~.eing a nalyses ,

to modify procedures and cone.itments where apprope ate

ich were

so identifiud and whica did act adversely af.ect f acility or ; er-

sonnel safety.
