Gentlemen:
This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. I. T. Yin of
this office on July 16-17, and 23-24, 1981, of activities at Midland Plant,
Uaits 1 and 2, authorized by NRC Construction Permits No. CPPR-81 and
No. CPPR-82.
During this inspection, our inspector reviewed the actions Consumers Power
Company agreed to undertake to upgrade all small bore piping and piping
support calculations that were in noncompliance with your procedural re-
quirements. This agreement was confirmed in our Immediate Action Letter
dated May 22, 1981.
In addition, our inspector looked into an allegation
made concerning field change procedures used at the site for small bore
piping and piping supports.
Based on this review, we are satisfied that the provisions in our letter
of May 22, 1981, have been satisfactorily addressed. However, the in-
spection showed that resident engineers' review and approval of field
initiated redline drawings were not in accordance with your Field Change
Request procedures.
As a result, certain changes in these drawings were
not receiving design reviews commensurate with those applied to the
original design.
These matters were discussed with you by telephone on July 21, 1981, and
with you and others (7 your staff in a meeting with Mr. A. B. Davis and
others of the Region III staff at the site on July 24, 1981. The findings
presented were acknowledged by you and led to submittal of your letter
dated July 27, 1981, which documents additional corrective actions you
are taking to assure control of the design and installation of small bore
piping and pipe supports. The procedures, referenced in the July 27
letter, which you submitted on August 3, 1981, are currently being
reviewed by the staff.
