Dear Mr. Keppler:

On February 10, 1982, a meeting was held at the Nuclear Regulatory Regional Head-quarters in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, to discuss the findings from recent inspections of work being performed by the L. K. Comstock Corporation at the Perry Plant Construction Site.

During this meeting, concerns were expressad regarding certain management aspects involving the implementation of the Quality Assurance Program at Perry. Based on our discussions of these concerns, The Illuminating Company has initiated the following actions:

1. An evaluation is underway by the Quality Assurance Departrent of the quality performance of each safetv-related contractor presently working on the sh This evaluation will identify areas of the contractor's perf6Fmunce, if any, which need increased attention. This evaluation will be in addition to those monthly evaluations of contractors performance routinely being made. This evaluation of all safety-related contractors will be completed by March 1, 1982._

Upon completion of each review by Quality Assurance personnel, the evaluation will be reviewed for any management implications by the Manager of Quality Assurance and by the independent overview Quality Assurance Advisory Committee.

This overview will be completed by March 31, 1982.

2. Based on the evaluation of safety-related contractor quality performance and while the nanagement review is underway, a_ corrective action procram will be_ developed and put in place by the Construction Quality Section for those contractors where areas needing immediate attention have been identified.

The schedule dates for completion of the steps in each plan will be completed by March 31,_1982. Any additions or changes to these plans made as a result of the subsequent management reviews will be reflected in revised improvement proy '.ms for each contractor by 'pril 30, 1982.

-3. A complete review of the nonconformance system started on February 18, 1982.

This review will focus on the use of the Nonconformance Report form, the Freld Ques. tion form, the Field Variance Authorization, Audit Action Request and Corrective Action Request. The objective of this review is to assure that these documents have clear definitions as to purpose, that Site personnel understand the purpose and the correct use of each document, that each has been used correctly in the past and is being dispositioned in a correct and timely manner. This review will be completed and any required corrective action documented by March 31, 1982.

4. The Site Tank Force recent ly chartered to analyze documentation and records associated with equipment installed by L. K. Comstock will complete its review to a point sufficient to identify needed changes in this area by March 1, 1982.

Using the knowledge gained in this effort, similar reviews will be under-taken for all other safety related contractors in the order of priority deTErmiiied' by the Quality Assurance Manager

5. At the present time, 78 systems have been turned over from the contractor to the Nuc1 car Test Section for testing. The status of those systems which are safety-related, or partially safety-related, will be re-evaluated to assure that required Nonconformance Reports are readily available, that needed documentation is present and retrievable, and that any work remaining to be done is identified. This evaluation will be completed by March 31, 1982.

As a further step in our management review, the Quality Assurance Advisory Committee, which provides an independent overview of quality activities at Perry, will review' the results of the activities listed above. They will, based on this review, determine if there is a need to improve our existing program or the manner in which that program is being implemented. Their assessment will be completed May 1. 1982.

If you have any questions, please call me.

Sincerely, Dalwy . Davidson Vice President System R.gineering and Construction DRD/llp L
