80-2038 Mr. James P. O'Reilly U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Conmission 101 Marietta Street, N.W., Suite 3100 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Re: RII:hHM 50-348/80 Unit 1 50-364/80 Unit 2

Dear Mr. O'Reilly:

The inspection report transmitted by letter dated November 14, 1980 has been reviewed by all concerned parties, and we do not cor, sider any of the information contained therein to be proprietary.

The Deviation in the inspection report was 364/80-42-01, Inadequate Fire Protection QA Program. Specifically, the inspection report asserts that:

Section 4.4.3 of the FPPR describes the Quality Assurance (QA)

Program for fire protection which was to be applied at Farley Units 1 and 2.

In general this program was to be under the management control of the QA organization and was to be applied to the following areas:

Design control and procurement control Instructions, procedures and drawings Control of purchase materials equipment and services (4)

Inspection (5) Test and test control (6)

Inspection, Test and Operating Status (7)

Non-conforming items (8)

Corrective action (9)

Records (10) Audits

' a n3/7

,L Mr. James P. O'Reilly Page 2 December 10, 1980 Documentation was not provided or was not easily retrievable to demonstrate that all of the fire protection features and systems required by the FPPR and the FPSER had been accomplished under the management and control of a QA Organization.

The following actions have been taken in response to the inspection report.

Notice of Deviation 364/80-42-01 (Inadequate Fire Protection QA Program) 1.

Corrective steps which have been taken and the results achieved.

Immediately following the NRC inspection of October 14-17, 1980, a canprehensive QA audit of the Farley Unit 2 fire protection construc-tion program was initiated. The results of the audit and associated supplemental inspections have been documented and discrepancies identified.

The primary contributor to the discrepancies was the in-complete status of construction. All discrepancies which have been identified will be resolved within the existing quality assurance program.

2.

Corrective steps taken to avoid further deviations.

Personnel have been instructed to follow the existing quality assurance program and supplemental inspection check lists on all fire protection installation and inspection work after October 23, 1980.

3.

The date when full compliance will be achieved.

Compliance with the QA program requirements was achieved December 1,1980 as verified by the comprehensive audit and supplemental inspections which were completed on that date.

Documentation of QA/QC involvement in the Fire Protection Program implementation is now readily available at the site for NRC inspection.

Very truly yours, F. L. Clayton, Jr.-
