Subject:

Acceptance of TERA Corporation for Independent Assessment of the Auxiliary Feedwater System Consumers Power Company letters of October 5 and December 3,1982, selected the TERA Corporation to perfom the independent design and construction verification (IDCV) progran for Midland Plant, Units 1 and 2, subject to NRC approval. By letters dated February 9 and 17,1983, the TERA Corporation provided the Engineering Program Plan (EPP) and the Project Quality Assurance Plan (PQAP) for the IDCY program with respect to the Unit 2 Auxiliary Feedwater System (AFHS).

The staff has completed its review of the acceptabiltfy of TERA for the AFWS proposal.

.By letters dated March 18 and 30 and April 21, 1983, the TERA Corporation pro-vided to the NRC sworn statements attesting to corporate and individual indepen-dence.

In these documents TERA presented its finding that the Corporation, its subsidiaries and individual members of the !!!dland IDCV team satisfy the indepen-dence criteria set forth in Chairman Palladino's letter to Congressmen Ottinger and Dingell on February 1,1982. TERA stated that prior to the current IDCV pro-gram contract, it has never been under contract to Consumers Power Company. TERA has also provided sworn affidavits for its personnel with previous-HRC employment indicating independence from NRC technical evaluations and positions, while with the NRC, for matters related to the IDCV program for the Midland Plant.

The staff has reviewed the corporate and individual independence information pro-l vided by TERA and finds it to be in conformance with the Chairman's letter of February 1,1982. The staff also finds that the activities of TERA members while l

previously enployed with the NRC were not of the type which would compromise independence for the IDCV progran scope. Accordingly, TERA is appropriately classified as an independent third-party with respect to the Midland IDCV pro-gram.

l The staff has also reviewed the qualifications of the TERA organization and per-sonnel participating in the independent assessment. The staff finds TERA tech-nically qualified to conduct the EPP as planned.
