Licensee Action on Show Cause Order Items
(Closed) Show Cause Order Item V.A(7):
The licensee shall develop and
implement a more effective system to provide for control of field changes
in order to assess the impact of changes on design.
The NRC inspector reviewed implementation of the commitments in the
licensee's response to this Show Cause Order item by discussions with
licensee and contractor representatives and by inspection of objective
evidence related to the commitments described in the attachment to
HL&P letter ST-HL-AE-533, dated September 18, 1980.
The following
commitments, utilizing the identification numbers in the attachment to
the HL&P letter, were reviewed:

(Closed) Item A131:
Qualification and training records will be maintained
on Project Site Engineers and QE's.

to users of design documents.
The NRC inspector observed that computer
printouts were distributed on a daily basis during the scheduled work week
as clarified by HL&P letter ST-HL-AE-658, dated May 1, 1981.
(Closed)
Item A137:
When construction of an item has been completed,
as-built verification checklists will be prepared and their correctness
will be verified by Design and Quality Engineering.
This checklist will
be used by the inspector for final acceptance.
The NRC inspector observed
that Procedure ST-QAP-3.2, "As-Built Verification," was issued for use
effective May 29, 1981.
The procedure delineates requirements for
preparation of As-Built Verification Reports by Quality Engineering, review
and approval by Engineering, and performance of as-built inspections by QC.
The NRC inspector also reviewed implementation of the field change control
system, both at the site and at the B&R Houston Engineering office.
The
field change control system appeared to meet the requirements of Quality
Construction Procedure A040GCP-21, and Engineering Procedures STP-DC-023,
STP-DC-028, and STP-DC-029.
Review of staffing of STP Site Engineering revealed that the staffing level
was 142 as of August 24, 1981, with a programmed strength of 195 in
June 1982.
Based on reviews documented in IE Reports 80-36, 81-05, 81-15 and this report,
the NRC inspector had no further questions regarding Show Cause Order item
V.A(7).

evaluation of the system.
Record travelers have been developed and
issued but have not been implemented for current work activities.
>
.
(0 pen) Item A148: The record traveler will identify the records required
to substantiate each activity, will record the status of the file, records

(0 pen) Item A149:
Records in the vault will be reviewed for adequacy
and completeness, based on the results of the review of record require-
ments.
Following extensive erfort to determine a plan for review of QA
records in the vault, the licensee described their program for fulfilling
this commitment in letter ST-HL-AE-717, dated August 31, 1981, to the NRC.
Steps in the program include:
a.
Identification of programmatic and production records,
b.
Installation of a traveler system for each discipline.
c.
Recruitment of the necessary Quality Engineering staff to perform
this review.
d.
Modification of the existing quality assurance procedures to describe
the documentation flow.
Items a, b and o are essentially complete.
Item c is ongoing and expected
to be complete by November 1, 1981.
It is expected that the Quality Engineer-
ing staff will be increased by 20 positions that will be devoted exclusively
to the record review process.
The licensee anticipates that the review
process will require approximately one year to complete after the positions
are filled.
The licensee has committed to provide Region IV with a quarterly summary
of activities related to Item A149 with the first report due December 1,
1981, and subsequent reports at three month intervals thereafter.
Items A142, A143, A147, A148 and A149 will remain open pending further
review during future NRC inspections.
