e ENCLOSURE YELLOW CREEK NUCLEAR PLANT UNITS 1 AND 2 RESPONSE TO DEFICIENCY FAILURE TO ESTABLISH RESPONSIBILITIES FOR PRESERVICE INSPECTION WHEN INSPECTIONS ARE CONDUCTED IN VENDOR SHOPS Deficiency 50-566/80-17-01, 50-567/80-17-05 As required by Criterion I of Appendix B to 10 CFR 50, and as implemented by Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) accepted Quality Assurance Program (Topical Report TVA-TR-75-1A) which imposes ANSI Standard N45.2 dated 1971 states in part, "The organizational structure, functional responsibilities, levels of authority and lines of internal and external communication for management, direction and execution of the quality assurance program shall be documented. Where multiple organizational arrangements exist, the responsibility of each organization shall be clearly established. The authority and responsibility of persons and organizations performing activities affecting quality shall be clearly established."

Contrary to the above, TVA's Division of Power Production Operational Quality Assurance Manual is not clearly applicable for Preservice Inspection when this inspection is performed in the vendor shops.

Activities such as procedure approval, program surveillance, and final report review being performed by the Preservice and Inservice Inspection Section are not clearly defined.

Corrective Action Taken and Results Achieved TVA has rewritten Part II, Section 5.1 of the Division of Nuclear Power Operational Quality Assurance Manual. This rewrite better addresses preservice inspection when this inspection is performed at the vendor's shops.

Corrective Steps Which Will Be Taken to Avoid Further Noncompliance The changes made in the manual should prevent further recurrence of the subject deficiency.

Date When Full Compliance Will Be Achieved The changes should be incorporated into the Division of Nuclear Power Operational Quality Assurance Manual by February 28, 1981.
