Gentlemen :
This refers to your response dated July 28, 1980, which was filed pursuant to Section V of the " Order to Show Cause" issued by the NRC on April 30, 1980.
Since your submittal, personnel from the Offi;e of Inspection and Enforcement have been reviewing and evaluating the actions taken by Houston Lighting and Power Company in addressing the Order.
As a result of a defined plac for the resumption of the halted safety-related construction at the South Texas Project, whi:5 was presented to the Commission or, Sectember 18, 1980, I authorized limited work restart in certain selectec areas.
This restart work was authorized through ne use of Immediate Action Letters issued by the Regional Director.
As you are aware, two Immediate Action Letters have been issued.
The first, cated October 3,1980, addressed the limited restart of AWS structural steel welding in the form of reexamination and recair.
This was to begin in Relay Room 202 of the Unit 1 Mechanical-Electrical Auxiliary Building. The second, dated October 22, 1980, addressed tne restart of croduction AWS structural steel welding for the fourth quarter of 1980. This work is limited to structural steel embeds with members up to and including thicknesses of 1-1/2 inches for shop fabrication and up to and including thicknesses of 3/4 inch for other structural steel welding.
We are also reviewing and evaluating your corrective actions in the area of safety-related complex concrete construction. This is in response to Houston Lighting and Power Company's request of October 24, 1980. The restart of tnat work, once my staff has determined the adequacy of the corrective action, will also be authorited by an Immediate Action Letter. Additional steps in the restart plan will be authori:ed in a similar manner.
Your cooperation in these matters is appreciated.
Sincerely,
