Docket No. 50-346
Certain of your activities appear to be in violation of AEC regulations
and in nonconformance with your Quality Assurance Program, as identified
below, and are considered to be of Category II severity.

" Activities affecting quality .
. shall be accomplished in
. .
accordance with these instructions, procedures, or drawings."
The Toledo Edison Company Nuclear Quality Assurance Manual
(Appendix l-B, Sections 2.4, 2.6, and 2.7) provides that
instruction procedures, drauings, and specifications be
approved and that changes to these documents be controlled
and/or approved.
Contrary to the above, documented evidence of approval of design
documents in use by a site contractor (A. L. Bently & Sons Company)
during installation of reactor pressure vessel supports could not
be provided. Moreover, apparent changes to the original design
(V
documents were being implemented without benefit of revieu and
approval.
