Gentlemen:
This refers to my meeting with you and Mr. W. S. Lee of your staff and
Messrs. Moseley and Murphy of my staff on May 19, 1972.
The meeting was requested so that we could express to you the broad impli-
cations of the results of our recent inspections of constrration activities
authorized under AEC Construction Permit Nos. CPPR-33, 3h, and 35
As was
discussed with you in the teeting, we are concerned about abserved defi-
ciencies in the implementction of your quality assurance program for the
construction of Ceonee Units 1, 2, and 3
The folleving general cenclu-
sions are based en cumulative results of our inspection pregram and on the
specific individual deficiencies identified in previous correspondence with
you:
1.
There has been a recurrence of problems which were previcusly identified
during our inspection program and were stated to have been resolved.
Your corrective measures have not been sufficient to avoid the recur-
rence of these identified problems.
-
2.
Several instances have been identified in which as-installed or as-built
components or systems differed from the description in the application
for a license. Our concern relates to the failure of your quality
assurance program to identify and to prevent these discrepancies.
3.
There is an apparent need for greater superviscry attentien to the i=ple-
mentation of the quality assurance program. This need can be inferred
from the number and variety of specific instances of nonec=pliance
identified by our inspection progrs=.

As ve discussed with you, our inspection program is designed to test on a
limited sampling basis the effectiveness of your quality assurance program
'
and its implementation. We have noted some improvements in recent months.
4
However, our inspection findings to date indicate that further improvement
in the implementation' of the quality assurance program is necessary to
assure that completion of the construction and testing of your facilities
are in conformance with Appendix B to 10 CFR 50.
l
During our discussion, you and Mr. Lee referred to several quality program
upgrading actions which are planned or have recently been implemented.
Please provide us within 30 days, in writing, with your coments concerning
the matters discussed in this letter and specifically, steps which have been
or vill be taken to upgrade the implementation and supervision of your quality
Of particular interest to us are actions taken or planned
assurance program.
to assure that program veaknesses have not adversely affected the quality of
completed work on all units including previously-accomplished preoperational
l
tests on Unit 1.
