(Metropolitan IJison Co.~. ;=ny & Jersey Central Fever & Light Ccepany) ne Re::ulatory staff is in e.he process of develo,ing criteria for :;uidance in the area of quality assurance. For our evaluation of the quality assurance program for the Bree : tile Island No. 2 f acility, we used the guidelines bas ( d upon the propcsed amendment to 10 CFR 50, Appendix 3 quality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Pcwer Plants dated April 17, 1969.
For the Three Mile Island 12 project, the anplicant is establishing a comprehensivo quality assurance program under its own quality assurance organization. It has, in addition, retained MPR Associates, I.ic., which reports directly to the applicant, as an additional quality assurance organization. Met-Ed/JCPL and MTR quality assurance organization is intended to provide unification, overall dirsction, guidance, and surveillance over the quality assurance ef forts of the Architect-Eneineer durns & Roe ('&R),
the nuclear steam supplier 3abcock & Wilecr (B&W), and the constructor United Engineers & Ccustrueret:s sUESC). Ur&C as construction nanager and
~
principal constructor has resconsibilit7 for assuring adequacy in all construction activities. B&R has responsibility for the design of portiona of the plant other than the. Nuclear Steam Supply systen which will be furnished by 3&k'.
Both B&R and B&W will have cuality assurance plans,
programs, and organizations, as required by the ;;eneric functiocal specifi-cationns for a QA progran as set forth in Appendix 13 of the PSAR.
~~ae applicant appointed a GFU quality assurance engineer res>cnsible for directinq
. :s and coordinating the antire progran, including MTR efforts. Met-ED/JC7L as co-evnars of the TMIJ2 f acility intends to use the CPU encineering and specialis t
- roups in extensive support of the applicant's cuality assurance tea =. The applicant (Me t-Ed/JC ?L) intends to review all specifications pertaining to the nuclear portion of the plant (incluaing the nuclear stesa system, centain-ment system, engineered saf eguards, fuel handling system, and waste handling system) and has retained final responsibillty for establishing and enforcing adequate que.lity assurance reauir ments and procedures.
The overall quality assurance progrrn and the detailed discussion and suprorting organization charts are described in the application, including Appendix 13.
~
Appendix 13 items a-o, Section 4 of the PSAR "Cuality Requirements" responds to each of the quality amourance guidelines di the proposed cuality Assurance Criteria for Nuclear Power Plants. On the basis of this information and several meetings and discussions we have determined that the applicant's quality assurance program is in general accord with our guidelines.
In most areas the program plan is excellent. These areas include:
(1) The applicant's intent to establish his own quality assurance organization using qualified quality assurance personnel at the site; (2) The provision, on the part of the applicant, that duties of his quality assurance personnel vill be solely QA duties, i.e., they will have no other detailed technical or line organization duties; (3) The applicant's decision to have MPR Associates, Inc. recort directly to the applicant and to aid in the promulgation and executien of specific, systematic CA plans and surveillance activities;73-259 4
3_
(4) The intent of the applicant in ccnjunction with GPU to use his engineering staf f to support the Met-Ed/JCPL and KPR organization in the review of specifications, attendance at meetings, survefilance and audit functions, etc., including the intent of applicant to assure that independent checking of designs and specifications vill be carried out between Burns & Roe, UCSC, and 3&W (between these and other inportant organizations) at incertant interfaces, to the degree deeced necessary to assure compatibility; (5) The steps being taken to assure close associstien and interchange of information including a written OA progras plan plus the cor=siement in the PSAR that adequate written QA procedures vill be providod; and (6) A commitment on the part of the applicant to es tablish and imple=ent written procedures to cover each of the "AEC's elements of quality ' and to require important major contractors to do the same. We consider the above to constitute an acceptable aperoach to a quality assurance p rogr am.
We intend to audit the applicant and its centractors to assure that a eczplete, detailed program is developed and vill be preperly implemented.
