B. Washburn Requested Cc=pletien Date: June 27, 1975 Applicant's Response Date: N/A Description of Response: N/A Review Status: Cac:plete The QA Branch has reviewd and evaluated Sections 13.1, 13.4, 13.5, and 17 of the FSAR (through Amencbent 23) for Tnree Mile Island Ntclear Station, Unit 2.
Our SER input for Section 13.6 ard 17 is enclosed.
We have not incitded an input for Sections 13.1 and 13.4 for the followirq reasons:
1.
The applicant has not been responsive to our mqtests for information relative to his offsite tecbical support for the operation of Three Mile Island, Unit 2.
We are therefore unable to reach a conclusicn as to the acceptability of t'is technical support.
2.
In.*cenhent 23, the applicant revised the description of his plant staff. This revision deletes the nu:ter of persons assig:rd b each plant staff position. We are therefore unable to reach a conclusion as to the acceptability of the plant staff.
The applicant has been advised of these tm deficiencies.
3 The applicant has sulnitted a propsed revision to the review and audit provisions of Section 6.0 of the techlm1 specifications for ihree Mile Islani 1.
Ne are reviewirg this submittal for confomance to the Regulatory-position set forth in Regulatory Guide 1.33 and for consistency with Section 6.0 of the NFC Standard Technical Specifications.

SAFETi EVALUATICN REPCRT EREE MILE ISLAND NUCLEAR STATICN, UNIT 2 CPERATIONAL CUALITi ASSUPA':CE PRCGRAM 13.0 Conduct of Creratiens 13.6 Plant Records j
The applicant has described his program for maintaining plant records and has cc=mitted to maintaining records according to ANSI N45.2.9-1974, "Recuirements for Collection, Storage, and "aintenance of Quality Assurance Records for Nuclear 1
j Power Plants." Specific records and their retentica periods will be i
delineated in the facility technical sc. ecifications.
Based on our review, we conclude that the applicant's previsicns for maintaining records meet the position described in A';SI N13.7-1972,
" Administrative Controls for Nuclear Power Plants," and are satisfactorf.
17.2 Quality Assrance For Crerations t
1 Crranizaticn Metropolitan Edison Cenpany C!ET-ED) has established an organization which is responsible for establishing and implementing the operational QA prog an for the Three Mile Island Nuclear Station, Unit 2.
He President of MET-ED has delegated to the Operational QA Shrager, through the Vice P esident-Generatica, the responsibility for establishing and inplementing the QA program. As shown in Fig =e 1, the Operational QA Shnager has ectal organi:aticnal icvel with the Managers of Engineering, Nuclear Generating Stations, and 3bintenance. Tne onsite Plant QA Supercuor and CA Specialists are under the direct control of the Cperaticnal QA.'Ona;cr.

The qualifications, duties, responsibilities, and authority for the various individual positions perfoming QA functions have been adequately described and are acceptable. Tne Cperational I
QA >nnager hos the specific responsibility to develop, inplecent, and maintain the operational QA program and manual. QA program procedures are reviewed and approved by the Operational QA Shnager.
1 QA related precedures, originated by other SET-D organizaticns, I
are reviewed and approved by the respective organizations and reviewed and concurred in by the Operational QA Shnager.
To assure continuous implementaticn of the QA progran policies and procedures, the Operational QA Shnager con 6Jcts a system of preplanned audits, inspections,and review activities.
In addition, the Vice I
President-Generation perfoms a review and audit evaluation of the i
f, QA progra 1 effectiveness at least every t.so years and reports the results to the SET-ED President. We find that the QA organization has l
adequate authority to identify ~ quality problems; initiato, recomend or provide solutions; and verify implementation of cor ective action for nonconfo cing items or activities. This authoriv includes the right to stop isork.
3ased on cur evaluation, we-conclude that the SET-O QA organization has the sufficient organizational freedca 89 077
3 necessarf to effectively execute their QA respcnsibilities without undue influences of cost and schedule. We have therefore determined that this organizational arrangement is acceptable and complies with the requirements of Appendix 3 to 10 CFR Part 50.
i Cuality Assurance Progn 1 ET-ED has comnitted in the FSAR to structure and iglement their t
QA progran in accordance with the >RC guidelines contained in 32C documents NASH 12S4, " Guidance on Quality Assurance Paquiremnts During the Cperations Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," WASH 1309,
" Guidance on Quality Assumnce Requirements During the Constrxtion I
Phase of Nuclear Power Plants," and KASH 1233, " Guidance on Quality I
Assurance Requirenants During Design and Procarc=ent Phase of Nuclear Power Plan;s," with the exception of certain areas which are described 1
by alternatives thich we have evaluated and found acceptable.
The QA progran provides for a fomal training program for those j
personnel perfo c ing QA related activities to assure they are i
j knowledgeable as to the proper interpretation and i; plementatica cf I
the QA manual including its requirements and implementing procedures.
In additicn, the QA prograa provides for the neuessary controlled procedrres which describe how each of the eighteen criteria of Appendix 3 to 10 CFR Part 50 will be complied with..ET-ED requires a formalized inspecticn progran to be established and implemented by qualified QA Q

perscnnel independent of the persennel or group performing the wrk being inspected. This also applies to procurement sources.
Provisicns are provided to assure inspection instructions describe the method of inspectica, the accept and reject criteria, and the degree of documenting and verifying the inspection results.
The audit progran provides for regularly scheduled audits of the operation of Three.'4ile Island Unit 2 and for de prenpt reporting of audit results and corrective actions to responsible i
management levels for deir review and assessment. The audit program I
is u. der the direction of the Cperational QA Depar=ent, the Plant j
Operations Review Cc=mittee and the General Office Review Scard. To assure prcper visibility of problem areas and implementation of corrective
{
action, audit results are distributed to responsible members of I
~
=anagement.
In addition to de ardit program, de Vice President-Generation perform an independent review of de QA progran procedures and activities at least once every two years to assure that de QA program is meaningful and effective.
Ccnclusion In su=ary, tn' e starr has decernined that L:T-ED's QA progna
~
for Three '4ile Island Nuclear Statica, Unit 2,as described in the FSAR drcugh Amendnent 23,provides a comprePensive system of planned and syste stic controls which adecuatel: demonstrate cc.nlia ce U7 d'
with each of the ei;;: teen criteria of Appendix 3 to 10 CFR Fart 50.
In addition,.'ET-ED has described an acceptable QA or;;ani ation which has sufficient authority and independence to per-it effective inplementation of their QA program wi*hout undue influences frca costs and schedules.
'/,'e therefore ccnclude that the ?ST-F.D OA progran is acceptable for control of the cuality related acti'rities during the operational phase of the Three.'lile Island Nuclear Station, Lhit 2.
