Interrogatories No. 3, 4, and 5 of intervenor Living In A Finer Environment (L.I.F.E.), Irwin I. Oster, and William E. Reany (here-after referred to collectively as L.I.F.E.) filed on January 12, 1971.
As noted in the AEC regulatory staff's answer to this intervenor's request for answers to these interrogatories, we have objected to answer-ing Interrogatories 1 and 2.
Interrogatory 3. - In whom does the responsibility for quality control reside during construction phases of the Davis-Besse facility?
In section 11.0 of our Safety Evaluation report dated November 2, 1970, we discussed the applicants' quality assurance program covering the design, construction, and operation of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station. During our review of the Davia-Besse quality assurance program we used the " Nuclear Power Plant Quality Assurance Criteria," Appendix B 8003060Y/8
~~
. of 10 CFR Part 50 as a basis for evaluation of the adequacy of the proposed program. These 18 criteria address those matters which must be considered in a nuclear power station quality assurance program throughout design, construction and operation.
As we have indicated in section 11.0 of our Safety Evaluation, the Toledo Edison Company has the ultimate responsibility for the imple-mentation of the quality assurance program. We have, however, indicated in section 11.0 of our Safety Evaluation that the day-to-day implementa-tion of the quality assurance program during construction has been delegated to the Bechtel Corporation by the Toledo Edison Company.
The Toledo Edison Company and Bechtel Quality Assurance Coordinator will perform auditing functions to assure the quality assurance program is being implemented.
Babcock and Wilcox (B&W) as supplier of the nuclear steam supply system (NSSS) has established a Quality Assurance Program to cover the areas of NSSSdesign, manufacturing procedures, specifications and erection. Toledo Edison assisted by Bechtel will audit the B&W quality assurance program to assure that the program is being implemented.
During construction of the Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station, the Division of Compliance will make periodic audit type inspections of the plant con-struction to assure the station is being constructed in accordance with the criteria, codes, and specifications established in the PSAR and that
3 the quality assurance program is being implemented properly.
Interrogatory 4.
_Whjt are the qualifications of those to whom the quality control referred to in question #3 is assigned?
In Appendix 1 B of the Preliminary Safety Analysis (PSAR) in sect. ions 1.3.1, 1.3.2 and 1.3.3 the applicants have described the duties and responsibilities of the Toledo Edison Quality Assurance Organization and in Appendix 1 B section 2.3, the duties and responsibilities of the Bechtel quality assurance personnel are discussed.
Both the Toledo Edison Company and Bechtel have the responsibility to assure that the qualifications of the individuals are adequate to perform i
the duties and responsibilities indicated in the above sections of the PSAR. The qualifications of the personnel assigned will parallel the particular activities thet are to be audited. Thus, personnel with experience in various fields ranging from field construction to mechanical 1
and electrical engineering woulo be involved in the quality assurance program.
In our review, we took into account the experience of the Bechtel Company based on their performance on the design and construction of current reactor plaen.
Throughout our review, we have met with the personnel who will be responsible for the quality assurance program and will be directly involved throughout construction of the plant. As indicated in section 10.1, Technical Qualification, we have concluded that the applicants and
^
. their contractors collectively are technically qualified to design and construct the proposed Davis-Besse Nuclear Power Station.
Interroaatory 5. - Are the specifLestions as far as materials and manner of fabrication for construction by Bechtel and Babcock and Wilcox fixed as stated in the PSAR or can changes be made as the construction pro-ceeds?
The criteria, codes, specifications and manner of fabrication established in the PSAR aust be complied with by all contractors performing design, construction and fabrication of components for the Davis-Besse station; however, as indicated in 10 CFR Part 50.90 and 50.91 changes can be made 1
after a construction permit has been issued provided the applicants sub-mit an amendment describing the change to the Division of Reactor Licensing for its appropriate reviews.
Appendix 1 B of the PSAR sections 2.16, 2.17, 3.17, and 3.18 includes information on the manner in which Bechtel and Babcock and Wilcox quality assurance programs will deal with non-conforming materials, parts or components and the corrective action including documentation. These actions are in accordance with 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B criteria, and in particular XV Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components and XVI Corrective Action.
