Management Meeting following Initial QA Inspection SUMARY 4
A meeting was held with SMUD management at the SMUD offices in Sacramento, California on February 12, 1970 for the purpose of discussing the results of the initial quality assurance (QA) inspection conducted on January 12-14, 1970 for Rancho Seco.
The few deficiencies that were identified during the initial QA inspection have already been or will be promptly corrected. SMUD recently made a QA audit of Babcock and Wilcox (NSSS supplier) and determined that the B&W QA program for Rancho Seco products was close to the 18 point AEC criteria.
DETAILS A.
Personnel Contacted The following persons represented SMUD during the Management Interview:
J. Mattimoe Assistant Chief Engineer D. Raasch Pruject Engineer-J. Jackson Quality Assurance Director B.
General G. S. Spencer initiated the discussion by outlining Compliance's objectives for the meeting pursuant to J. B. Henderson's memo, " Initial Quality Assurance Inspection", dated October 17, 1969. Following this, the findings of the initial QA inspection conducted on January 12-14, 1970, were presented and discussed.
C.
Criterion I - Ormanization 1.
Findina The Bechtel-Vernon reorganization for the purpose of separating QA and Startup from the Engineering Division needs to be incorporated into the SMUD project Quality Program Manual.
2.
Response
l
('~'N A new organization chart will be incorporated into the QA manual to
)
reflect this and other management changes as soon as possible.

Cr'.cerion II - Quality Assurance Program 1.
Finding The class I items have been iientified but have not yet been included in the QA manual.
i 2.
Response
s The cicss I items have been identified and agreed upon by both SMUD 4
and Bechtel. The list has been reviewed and approved by management and will be incorporated into the QA manual within 2-3 weeks.
According to Mr. Mattimoe, a team representing ASME will be auditing the " code system" for Rancho Seco in about one month. This will be the first nuclear system to be audited by ASME for system and component code classification.
E.
Criterion VI - Document Control i
l 1.
Finding O',
Organized systems for document control are in use at the site; however, detailed procedures that govern these systems were not available. There were no written procedures to govern the logging system used by SMUD for items that require review and approval of the SMUD Project Engineering Group.
2.
Response
The system,in toto, that is used for configuration control has already been detailed in draft form for review and will be incorporated into the QA manual as soon as possible. The manual will include the control system for vendor produced drawings that are reviewed and on occasion, redrawn by Bechtel's field engineers at the site prior to issuance of the drawing for construction.
1 F.
Criterion VIII - Identification and Control of Materials. Parte. and Components 1.
Finding
~The requirement for Leaville-Dravo to inform Bechtel of the need for
- a. receiving inspection bas not been governed by written procedures.
2.
Response
e-'s
.This item will be reviewed by Messrs. Jackson and Raasch. However,
/-
they believed that it was already governed by the Leaville-Dravo

k _-
contract. If not, it will be.

Criterion X - In Process and Final Inspectio; l
1.
Finding 5
Additional wording appears necessary to assure that the QA manual provides for (a) an alternate means of assuring quality whenever normal inspection practice is impossible or disadvantageous and l
(b) establishing and implementing mandatory inspection hold points.
2.
Response
I a.
This item will be discussed with Bechtel. A section will then be included in the QA manual to provide for an alternate means of I
assuring quality whenever normal inspection practice is impossible or disadvantageous.
Mr. Jackson pointed out that deviations from
{
established procedures must be signed by the Quality Assurance Engineer.
l b.
Words will be put into source inspection plans to provide for mandatory inspection hold points. This provision will be incorporated as a requirement in the QA manual as soon as possible.
H.
Criterion XIII - Handling. Storage. Shipping and Preservation i
1.
Finding Words were lacking in the QA manual to impose instructions when particular products require special protective environments as well as words to provide that the existence of such be verified.
2.
Response
It was recognized that these items were listed as part of the objective t
in the QA. manual but had not been incorporated into the QA instructions per se.
Therefore, the planning instructions in the QA manual will be changed to' require the use of special protective environments and the verification of the existence of the protective environment when i
required for particular products.
I.
Criterion XIV - Inspection Test and Operating Status 1.
Finding j
The QA manual procedures did not require the dating of sramp, tag and/or label entries used for the status of inspections and tests performed upon individual items and plant operation equipment.
s l
l i
~
. 2.
Response
The QA manual procedures will be changed to require the dating of all stamp, tag and/or label ent' ries used for the QA-QC program.
J.
Criterion XV - Control of Nonconforming Items 1.
F_inding A program such as a report status log to monitor the status of nonconforming material has not yet been initiated at the site.
That is, a formal program to "close the loop" between initiation of a nonconforming material report and ultimate disposition.
2.
Response
A nonconforming material report status log has now been established at the site and the required use of the log incorporated into the QA manual.
s K.
Criterion XVII - Quality Assurance Records 1.
Finding The period for record retention following completion of construction and plant licensing has not yet been established by written procedure.
2.
Response
The QA manual has now been 12 vised to require the maintenance of QA records for the life of the plant. However, Mr. Mattimoe stated that this would not be the ultimate procedure. The " code" will be used as a minimum guide for record retention. As time permits, more detailed record retention practices will be formulated and needless records weeded out.
L.
Finding The SMUD contract for the NSSS, which was awarded prior to implemen-tation of SMUD's QA program, does not include QA provisions that meet the proposed Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, 2.
Res ponse SMUD has been auditing B&W against the commitments contained in their s
contract and the criteria listed in the PSAR.
}
}
~
r i
6-i SMUD and Bechtel representatives audited B&W the week of February 2, 1970 against the AEC's eighteen point QA criteria. While it was recognized that B&W's contract was in effect a long time before the
~ eighteen point criteria were proposed, Mr. Jackson believes that the B&W program for QA of items for Rancho Seco comes close to matching the AEC criteria, Regardless, SMUD will take measures to assure the receipt of a quality s
product and intends to take every possible step to assure that the procedures contained in the QA manual are applied to B&W.
