Route 3 Freeland, MI 48623 Dear Ms Stamiris I am providing the following information responding to your specific questions which were not answered by documents, in accordance with the commitments made at TR 1484 et. seq. Since this is informal discovery, I provide this information in letter form. An affidavit can be supplied on request.

The following relates to tracking of IPINs, irs, DRs, attachment 10s, and

" return options" in the QA system:

The basic document used to track inspections in the QC process is referred to as an inspection report (IR). The IR contains a list of items to be inspected, and places for the inspector to sign o_ff on each item inspected. The inspector may sign off only when he has satisfied himself that the item is in conformance to all requirements. irs are the permanent record of inspections and are kept on file at the Midland site.

If an inspector determined that a deficiency existed, he could issue an IPIN, as more fully described in the Response to the Notice of Violation (Response).The IPIN documented the deficiency. When the IPIN was issued, the inspector noted that fact on the IR. A copy of the IPIN was thereafter kept attached to the IR as a part of the permanent inspection record. To correct the deficiency, QC transmitted a copy of the IPIN to construction, which carried out necessary corrective action and returned the IPIN to QC . QC then reinspected the item and, if appropriate, closed out the IPIN. For more details on this process, see the Response. IPINs were thus tracked by being attached to the IR.

~

DRs (deviation reports) were predecessors to the IPINs. DR's were temporary records. Before close out, DRs were handled much the same as IPINs were. DRs were not tracked after closeure. The irs did contain a space for the number of DR pages reviewed in closing out all of the activities on the IR.

, 2 Attachment 10's were not a formal QA record and were not tracked by QA or QC.

" Return option" is a phrase coined by the IPIN task force to describe a paiticular inspection practice. Use of a return option was not tracked by the QC department.

With reference to p.14200 of the transcript, I am' advised that the containment chipping matter was first identified as a noncompliance by. Region 3 in.its October-November team inspection.

Very.truly yours
