This refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. D. H. Danielson
'
and other staff members of this of fice on March 29-31, April 1-2, 5-9,12-14,
and May 11, 1982, of activities at Byron Station, Units 1 & 2, authorized by
NRC Construction Permits No. CPPR-130 and No. CPPR-131. This also refers
to the discussion of our findings with Mr. W. Stiede and others of your staff
during a meeting in our offices on May 7, 1982.
The purpose of this special team inspection was to assess the adequacy of
L
certain aspects of the quality assurance / construction activities at the
Byron Station. The scope of this assessment included audits of quality
,
assurance program interfaces and overview, corrective action systems,
,
j
design change control, material traceability of installed structures and
j
components, electrical cable installation, inprocess inspections, and
!
cffectiveness of quality control inspectors. Within these areas the
I
inspection consisted of a selective examination of procedures and
';
representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.
In general, within the areas inspected, the quality assurance program
for the Byron Station appeared good. However, exampics of program im-
j
plementation deficiencies were identified which require corrective action
on your part. Please note that we expect Commonwealth Edison Company to
!
review programs for its other facilities under construction to assure that
similar problems do not exist at these facilities.
