HARTSVILLE AND PHIPPS BEND NUCLEAR PLANTS INCONSISTENT ESTABLISHMENT OF INSPECTION PROGRAM HTRD-50-518/81-12, -519, -520, -521/81-10 PBRD-50-553/81-13, -554/81-08 REPORT NO. 1 (INTERIM)

Description of Deficiency Before January 16, 1979, TVA's Office of Engineering Deeign and Construction (OEDC) Procedure OEDC-QAP 10.0, Revision 0, required that ,

the Division of Construction (CONST) be responsible for providing construction inspection requirements. On January 16, *979, OEDC-QAP 10.0 was revised to require the Division of Engineering Design (EN DES) to supply inspection requirements to CONST. Subsequently, OEDC-AQP 10.0, R1, was superseded by the OEDC Q?. Program Requirements Manual (PRM) which also required that EN DES supply inspection requirements to CONST.

In actual practice, EN DES has specified certain inspection requirements (both general and specific) to CONST both before and since January 16, 1979, and CONST has implemented these requirements. However, EN DES has failed to develop a comprehensive, documented program to implement the OEDC QA PRM requirement. Therefore, EN DES's current program does not ensure that adequate inspection requirements are or have been supplied to CONST. As a result, it is possible that there are safety-related components / systems which have not been adequately inspected by CONST.

Interim Progess EN DES is evaluating existing procedures to determine to what extent any procedural / programmatic changes and additions are necessary to ccrrect this deficiency. In addition, the EN DES responsibilities in this area outlined in the OEDC QA PRM are being examined to determine the appropriateness of EN DES being solely responsible for this activity.

TVA will provide a description of the corrective action, if determined necessary, to be taken for components / systems presently installed in the plant (s) which are adversely affected by this condition in the final report.
