RESPONSE TO ENFORCDGIT ITDG Listed below are the responses to the noncompliances identified in Appendix A, Notice of Violation, of the United States Nuclear Regulatory Co==issicn I.E. Report No. 50-440/78-14;50-441/78-13.
I.
A.
Infraction 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion X requires that, a program for inspection of activities affecting quality shall be established and executed by or for the organization performing the activity to verify conformance with the documented instructions, procedures, and drawings for accomplishing the activity.
The PHPP PSAR Chapter 17, Section 17.1.10 states in part that,
" Quality will be controlled by inspection or process control or a combination of both as necessary.
. Documented and approved procedures will be utilized to control the inspection methods.
Contrary to the above, an adequate program for the inspection of safety-related backfill activities has not been established by the licensee and executed to veri'y conformance with backfin placement requirements.
B.
Response
1.
Great Lakes Construction Co. will hire an additional Level I Soils Inspector, whose responsibility shall be the field surveillance of backfill placing operations. The Level II Soils Inspector shall be responsible for placement suneillance, testing frequency and data, obtaining RGE approvals, and documentation of inspections. As backfill placing activities are limited at this time by the weather, the following measures are being taken to assure adequate coverage. Until the position of Level I Soils Inspector is filled, qualified and certified GLC Soils Inspectors are readily svailable for backfill surveillance. When construction progress warrants.
they will be assigned to backfill placement inspection.
2.
GLC Procedure TQCP 8 (Excavation and Backfill) is being revised to reflect the duties of Level I and I' vel II Soils Inspectors, as described above.
Construc31on Quality Engineering shall conti" te to observe and audit GLC backfill placement inspection activities te assure the corrective action taken is being effective.
3.
Full compliance will be achieved by February 14, 1979 l
RESPONSE TO ENFORCEMENT ITEMS Page 2 II.
A.
Infraction 10 CFR 50, Appendi:: B, Criterion XVI states in part that,
" Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality, such as failures, malfunctions, deficiencies, deviations, defective mater'.a1 and equipment, and nonconfomances are promptly identified and corrected."
Perry nuclear Power Plant Quality Assurance Precedure CQSP 1603, Rev. O, Section 6.3.1 states in part that, "The Quality Control Supervisor shall review the surveillance / inspection AR Status monthly to determine the need for follow-up/close-out of surveillance /inspeetionAR's.
Contrary to the above, tinely corrective action to follow-up/
close-out surveillance / inspection AR's was not taken by the licensee. Specifically, ten CEI surveillance / inspection AR's remained open past their r7spective Corrective Action Reply due dates with no monthly review to detemine their status and no follow-up/close-out had been initiated. Failure to take timely corrective action to close-out AR's was cited once previously as an item of nonec=pliance in IE Inspection Report No. 50-440/78-02; 50-441/78-01 (Ite= no. 440/78-02-24; 78-01-24).
B.
Response
1 The Surveillance / Inspection AR's referenced in I.E. Inspection Report 50-440/78-14;50-441/78-13 are now closed out. For AR's #1 and #72, which had been closed out on July 7,1978 and September 29, 1978, respectively, it was detemined that the documents had not been forwarded to the Quality Admirdstra-tion element for logging and filing at the time of this NRC inspection.
2 The following system has been put into effect since that time to preclude recurrence of the problem:
The CQC Supervisor receives a computer printout twice a conth frc= CQS/Qvality Administration which shows the status of the open Surveidance/ Inspection AR's.
The CQS/ Quality Control Supervisor reviews the report and determines which AR's require follow-up action and notifies the initiator. The computer printout is kept in a notebook and made available for centinuing review and follow-up.

Cont'd This meets the requirements of CQSP 1603, Rev. 1, Section 5.3.1, which states in part that, "The Quality Control Supervisor shall review the Surveillance / Inspection AR computer printout at least once per month to determine the needforfollow-up/close-outofSurveillance/ Inspection-initiated AR's."
3.
Full compliance has been achieved.
