Gentlemen:
This refers to the special team inspection conducted by Mr. C. C. Uilliams
and other members of this office on May 18-22, 1981, of activities at the
Midland Nuclear Plant, Units 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Ccastruction Permits
No. CPPR-81 and No. CPPR-82 and to the discussion of our findings with you
and others of your staff at the conclusion of the inspection.
This was an indepth inspection to examine the implementation status and
effectiveness of the current QA Program, to determine whether previously
identified quality assurance problems were sufficiently precluded from
occurrance in other areas, and to ascertain whether management involvement
in the QA Program was sufficient and effective. The enclosed copy of our
inspection report identifies areas examined during the inspection. Within
these areas, the inspection consisted of a selective examination of pro-
cedures and representative records, observations, and interviews with
personnel.
During this inspection, certain of your activities appeared to be in non-
compliance with NRC requirements, as specified in enclosed Appendix A.-
A
written response, submitteo under oath or affirmation, it required.
Although eight items of noncompliance were identified during this inspec-
tion, it is our judgement that the scope and depth of this NRC inspection
was such that the identified noncompliances do not contravere our conclusion
that Consumers Pcwer Company has established an effective organization for
the management of construction and implementation of quality assurance at
the site. The noncompliances associated with the piping support area of
the inspection were considered the most adverse findings, and precipitatec
the issuance of an Immediate Action Letter (IAL) dated May 22, 1981.
(Attached as Exhibit A to this report.)
