The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the effectiveness of the Davis-Besse Quality Assurance / Quality Control Program relative to the requirements of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.

It was pointed out that, although none of the infractions taken individually is considered of a serious nature, collectively they indicate weaknesses in the Davis-Besse Quality Assurance Program. As discussed during the meeting, it is necessary that management action be taken promptly to assure that those personnel involved in the construction, fabrication, and installation of the Davis-Besse 1 plant understand the need for strict adherence to NRC requirements and the implementation of your quality assurance program as required by 10 CFR 50, Appendix B.
