Other Significant Findings

A.
Current Findings
l
The Consumers Power Company (CP) QA organizational structure has been
modified and expanded. The CP Project Quality Assurance Services
Department (PQASD) is headed by a director and consists of a general
office staff (located in Jackson, Michigan) and field staffs (located
at each construction site).
The general office staff presently consists
of a quality assurance administrator and a quality assurance engineer.
Two additional personnel are in the process of being hired.
This general
office staff is to be utilized for all CP construction projects, and each
project will be assigned a project QA engineer.
The Midland Project QA
field organization structure is to re=ain as it presently exists, but
two or more QA engineers are to De added as actisicy increases during 1974.
G. S. Keeley has been appointed Director of PQASD, effective October 1,
1973, reporting to the Vice President for Electric Plant Projects (Design
and Construction).
H. W. Slager has been hired recently as a QA engineer
i
by CP.
Mr. Slager's education and experience include the field of
metallurgy.

' Status of Previously Reported Unresolved Matters
CP Quality Assurance Manual (R0 Inspection Report No. 050-329/73-06
and No. 050-330/73-06)
Previously, it was determined that the CP Quality Assurance Manual (QAM)
for the Midland Project lacked, or was inconsistent with, certain require-
y
ments of 10 CFR Part 50, Appendix B.
Most of the significant discrepancies
to the QAM are corrected. CP indicated that the remaining inconsistencies
l
would be corrected by appropriate changes to the QAM and to pertinent
references. This matter remains open pending review of the changes to be
made.

B.
Matters discussed and comments, on the part of management personnel,
were as follows:
.
The inspector stated that the primary purpose of the special inspection
was to evaluate the current QAM relative to the requirements of 10 CFR
j
'Part 50, Appendix B.
The inspector further stated that, although most
$-
of the previously identified discrepancies are corrected, certain detailed
requirements are not yet included or not sufficiently explicit in the QAM.
f*
Discussions on these matters, during the inspection, were summarized at
this time. CP stated that the comments made by the inspector, relative
to these discrepancies, were understood and that CP would make appropriate
'
changes to the QAM and pertinent references as required.

REPORT DETAILS
.
Persons Contacted
. . ,
In addition to the individuals listed under the Management Interview section
of this report, H. W. Slager, Quality Assurance Engineer, CP, was contacted
during the inspection.
Results of Inspection
Review of CP Quality Assurance Fbnual
Discr'pancies identified during this review of the QAM for the Midland Project
e
are listed below.
These discrepancies were discussed with the licensee, and
corrective action proposed by the licensee was considered to be adequate.
Some of the discrepancies involved incorrect reference to other manuals, or
,
sections of other manuals, identified in the QAM. The licensee stated that
these references would be checked for accuracy and that appropriate corrections
would be made.

1.
Section 1 - Organization
'~S
This section (on sheet 2) indicates that the project superintendent has
-
some QA functions that are also delegated to the PQASD. The inspector
stated that, although it is acceptable for the project superintendent
to have the authority to icentify quality problems, to stop work if
quality requirements are not met, etc., measures must exist to assure
that the QA organization has the same responsibility and authority
which cannot be unduely influenced by the project superintendent.
By
way of clarification, the inspector further stated that the manual must
be clear that the QA organization has full authority to take adequate,
independent action concerning QA functions.
The QAM does not reflect the recent changes, discussed under the Current
Findings section of this report, in the CP QA organization structure.
CP stated that the QAM will be revised to reflect these changes.
2.
Section 3 - Design Control
This section (on sheet 3) states that methods of identifying and con-
trolling design interfaces shall be delineated by Bechtel procedures.
However, the referenced procedure (Section II, No. 6, of the Bechtel
Nuclear QA Manual) does not address this matter adequately.
(See RO
Inspection Report No. 050-329/73-08 and No. 050-330/73-08 for details
and apparent violations of AEC requirements relative to this matter.)

4.
Section 15 - Nonconforming Materials, Parts, or Components

materials, parts, or components are to be controlled, reviewed, filed,
etc. Although the manual contains appropriate commitments in this area
-
of QA, procedural control mechanisms have not been identified.
