Mr. A C. Thies, Vice President Production and Operation Power Building 422 South Church Street Charlotte, North Carolina 28201 3entle=en:
This letter relates to the discussions Messrs. C. E. Murphy, R. F. Warnick and H. L. Ynitener of this office held with Messrs. J. C. Rogers, D. G.
Bea=, J. E. Smith, J. W. Esspton and G. L. Hunnicutt of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection conducted on May h through 7,1971, regarding construction activities autherized by AEC Construction Per=it No. CPPR-33.
As noted during the discussions, certain items were identified which apparently were not in confor=ance with Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, " Quality Assurance Progra= for Nuclear P0ver Plants," as identified belov, or which
=ay otherwise r.lise questions concerning the adequacy of the construction.
These ite=s are as follows:
1.
Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, Criterien XI, states in part, "A test progra=
shall be established to assure that all testing required to demonstrate that structures, syste=s, and ec=ponents will perform satisfactorily in service is identified and performed in accordance with written test precedures.
Test results shall be documented and evaluated to assure that test require =ents have been satisfied."
Contrary to this require =ent, the inspectors observed lack of adequate
-test control. The reacter inspectors reviewed four test procedures, TP 200 16 - Reactor Coolant System Cleaning, TP 201 2 - Core Flood Tanks Hydro Test, TP 202 8 - High Pressure Injection System Flush, and TP 203 7 - Lov Pressure Injection and Core Ficod Syste= Flush. Three of the four procedures reviewed contained changes which were not made in accordance with Duke Pcver Co=pany's approved " Guide for Conducting the Oconee Initial Test Program."
