Cook - =Uj Vice President c, Midland Project 1945 West Parnall Road % M b WQg 7[[,a Jaekson, MI 49201 Gentlemen: Thank you for your letter dated September 9,1981, informing us of the steps you have taken to correct the item of noncompliance which we brought to your attention in Inspection Reports No. 50-329/81-14; 50-330/81-14 forwarded by our letter dated August 7, 1981. We disagree with the statement in your letter that, "we believe that the item of noncompliance as stated does not exist". Our conclusion was based on the findings stated in Paragraphs 2.a. , b. , and c. of the above RIII inspection reports as paraphrased below: a. From March 1979 to November 1980, there was no procedure for engineering review of redline drawings. b. At the time of inspection, the engineering procedures for the review of red line drawings were considered to be inadequate. c. At the time of inspection, the site design engineers were designing hangers and restraints without confirmed preliminary design loads. Since our review of your response did not change our position that this is a Severity Level V violation, we do not consider your letter to be fully responsive in that you failed to document (1) corrective action to be taken to avoid further noncompliance, and (2) the date when full com- pliance was or will be achieved. s11102 0hk 8 4r - - -

. Consumers Power Company -2- OCT a o uo, . We further disagree with your statement that, " ... in-depth investiga- tions, both by Consumers Power Company and Bechtel, have shown no evidence of technical deficiencies relating to redlines". You reported seven significant deficiencies as the result of your in-depth review of the design analysis and calculation packages, including the engineering reviews of redline drawings for small bore piping systems, since the issuance of our Immediate Action Letter dated May 22, 1981. Details of your findings are documented in Paragraph 1, Item 6 of the RIII inspection reports listed above. ~As discussed during the management meeting held at the site on July 24, 1981, please advise this office of the results of your-investigation efforts to identify whether or not there are similar problems existing in other site activities. We request that you provide written response within 25 days of the date of this letter to this office addressing the matters discussed abov . Your cooperation with us is appreciated.
