Gentlemen:

This' refers to the special safety inspection conducted by Mr. D. H. Danielson

and other staff members of this office on May 24-28, and June 1-4, 1982, of

activities at Braidwood Station, Units 1 & 2, authorized by NRC Construction

Permits No. CPPR-132 and No. CPPR-133, and to the discussion of our findings

with Messrs. W. J. Shewski, R. Cosaro and others of your staff at the con-

clusion of the inspection.

The purpose of this special team inspection was to assess the adequacy of certain

aspects of the quality assurance / construction activities at the Braidwood Station.

The scope of this assessment included audits of quality assurance program inter-

faces and overview, corrective action systems, design change control, materici

traceability of installed structures and components, riectrical cable installa-

tion, inprocess inspections, and ef fectiveness of quality control inspectors.

Within these areas the inspection consisted of a selective examination of pro-

cedures and representative records, observations, and interviews with personnel.

In general, within the areas inspected, the quality assurance program for the

Braidwood Station appeared good. However, examples of program implementation

deficiencies were identified which require corrective action on your part.

In addition, certain of your activities appeared to be in noncompliance with NRC

, requirements, as specified in the enclosed Appendix. A written response is re-

l quired. No response is required for Item 1.b of the Appendix. The corrective

action taken and the corrective action to prevent recurrence is described in

Section 2.b. (11) of the report.

In accordance with 10 CFR 2.790 of the Commission's regulations, a copy of this

letter, the enclosures, and your response to this letter will be placed in the

NRC's Public Document Room. If this report contains any information that you

. (or your contractors) believe to be exempt from disclosure under 10 CFR

9.5(a)(4), it is necessary that you (a) notify this office by telephone within

ten (10) days from the date of this letter of your intention to file a request

for withholding; and (b) submit within twenty-five (25) days from the date of

this letter a written application to this office to withhold such information.
